OFFENSIVE IS PLANNED
(By Associated Press)

T1FLIS, Dec. 23.-Russian BolsheviG
forces appear to be concentrating for
a campaign which will eliminate the
republic of Georgia from the map of
the Caucasus region. Heavy soviet
forces have been concentrated at
Tuapse a port on the eastern shore of
the Black sea and at Gagri, a port
still further to the southeast toward
the Georgian frontier. Other Bolshe,
vik detachments are reported at
Kazak, southeast of Tiflis, while the
tenth Bolshevik army which has been
operating along the Armenian frontier.
is said to have passed through Karak-
liss, moving toward the Georgian re-
public
Soviet troops along the frontier of
Azerbajan planned an offensive early
this month against Georgia but the
move was countermanded upon advice
from M. Shiemann, soviet representa-
tive here, who thought the moment for
an offensive campaign had not arrived.
Hope is entertained that the drive
seemingly imminent at present may be
postponed at the last moment.
Has Been Tolerated.
Independent Georgia has been tol-
Grated by the Bolsheviki because of
the trade advantages offered at Saturn
which has been regarded in Moscow as
a corridor which permitted the Bolshe-
Wiki to bring in supplies from Europe.
Reliable information from Baton in
dicates serious disturbances, the Geor-
gian garrison there having revolted.
This resulted in a panic and people
stormed the ships in the harbor
seeking to escape before the arrival
of Bolsheviki troops which were re-
ported in the neighborhood.
1t is understood the allies regard
the situation so serious that they have
considered sending war ships TO in
sure the evacuation of allies missions
in Georgia.
Train Service Reduced.
The recent oil agreement concluded
between Soviet Russia and Georgia
has not been carried out, and as a con-
sequence train service has been re-
duced to a strict minimum, involving
serious commercial crisis. Supplies
are awaiting transport to towns SUI
fering from shortage of food and
| prices of necessities of life have in
creased to fantastic figures in many
places.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.-Repre-
sentatives of the anthracite coal oper-
ators and mine workers resumed their
conferences here today in an effort to
reach an agreement on the demands
of the men for increased wage and
other concessions.
Negotiations have been in progress
since early fall. At the last meeting
in this city three weeks ago the oper-
ators refused virtually all the demands
and it was indicated that an agree
ment was out of the question unless
the workers made substantial conces-
sions.
On Dec. II the miners scale COM
mittee instructed its subcommittee at
a meeting in Hazleton to continue the
conference with the operators until
something definite is arrived at.
No information was given out as to
what concessions, if any, the miners
are willing to accept.

cause of the existing shortage in
dwellings, Senator Calder, Republican.

eral income tax. This he declared was
driving wealthy investors to place all
their available funds. in tax exempt
securities issued by municipalities, the
states, and the national government
and he suggested that congress meet
the situation by making mortgages on
dwelling houses tax exempt to rea-
sonable figure.
81 am informed that the Marshall
Field estate in Chicago and the Hetty
Green estate. both OF which formerly
loaned heavily OIL real estate, find
their incomes from this source to be
less than two per cent under taxation
Senator Calder said, land they are
diverting their cnpital funds to more
lucrative investments. Tax exempt
securities during the last five years
have increased from three billion dol
lars to fourteen billion dollars.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN
BECOMES OHIO SOLON
(By Associated Press)


COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 23-Henry W.
Frillman of Columbus, elected to the
eighty-fourth Ohio general assembly
from Franklin county, will be the only
civil war veteran who will serve in
that body.
Probably he will be the last civil
war fighter to sit as member of the
Ohio legislature, for the veterans are
becoming fewer each year, and it
hardly is likely that many others will
care to enter into campaign, with its
physical exertions.
For the last decade, civil war vet
erans have had meagre membership
in the Ohio legislature. Their dwind
ling numbers among the ranks of Ohio
law makers, it is asserted, has been
mainly due to their own notion that
they should be dropping out of poll
tics.
Mr.. Frillman is in his seventy-sev
enth year. Is active and in good
health. Since a lad of seven, Mr.. Frill-
man has been a singer, and while serv-
ing in the Civil war, he sang in a
quartet, to which General Grant list
ened more than once.
When Grant was inaugurated presi-
dent a second time, Mr.. Frillman at
tended the Inauguration as a member
of the Republican Glee club fo Colum-
bus. The president singled Frillman
out. recognizing him as the lad who
sang for him in the field. He invited
the singer to dine with him at the
white house.
There was one Civil war veteran in
the last general assembly, Senator H.
G Ritter of Tippicanoe City, chairman
of the senate finance committee. There
were two Spanish war veterans and
the same number of World War fight

.HERRICk IS CALLED
FOR CONSULTATION
TO HARDINC'S HOME
CBY Associated Press)

MARION, O., Dec. 23-Myron T.
Herrick, Of Cleveland, who was Ameri-
can ambassador at Paris during the
early days of the World war, was
called to Marion today by President
elect Harding TO discuss the interna-
tional peace plan to be put before the
world by the coming administration.
The conference is understood to
have concerned particularly the ex-
periences of Mr.. Herrick abroad last
summer when he made tour of
European capitals and talked with
many leading statesmen. At that
time it was reported that he was
gathering information to aid Mr..
Harding in perfecting his plan. Re-
Gently the former ambassador has
been mentioned prominently as a pos
sible choice for some important post
in the diplomatic service.
Upham to Call
Fred w. Upham of Chicago, treas
urer of the Republican national com
mittee, also was on Mr.. Harding 5
calling list but it was said the visit
concerned leftover financial matters
connected with the recent campaign.
While the president elects confer
ences on the peace program are pro.
ceeding he has under consideration
several proposals for a trip to the
south during January. He said today
that no action had been taken on any
of the invitations received and that
his plans probably would not be def
nitely fixed until after the first OF
the year. He generally is expected to
leave for some southern destination
during January not to return to Mar
ion before the Inauguration.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23-Hope for the

EMERGENCY TARIFF
DELAYED IN SENATE
BY SENATOR HARRISON
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON Dc 23.-The first
volley in the fight in the senate
against the house emergency tariff
bill was fired today by Senator Harri-
son, Democrat of Mississippi. When
the measure was transmitted from the
house he first demanded roll call and
then objected to the usual custom of
dispensing with its reading, and thus
delayed until next week the sending
of the bill to committee.
Senator McCumber, Republican of
Dakota, acting chairman OF the finance
committee said the bill would not be
taken up by that committee next
week He added, however. that no
hearings would be held.
Expect Hot Fight.
Despite the more than 100 majority
by which the Fordney emergency
tariff bill passed the house last night,
many proponents of the measure to-
day said they were almost convinced
it would either be defeated or radical
ly amended in the senate.
Although party lines were largely
swept aside in the vote in the house,
which was 1876 to sc, it was not be-
lieved this would occur in the senate,
where the majority is smaller.
The measure, designed to protect
more than score of agricultural pro-
ducts for a 10, months period, was
passed by the house after eight hours
of heated debate, in which the opposi-
tion was led by Representative Henry
T. Rainey, Democratic of Illinois
While a few Republicans supported
his attack on the measure, more than
score of his own party joined the
majority.
