instances the final clnsi5nees OF the
diverted coal loads have made pay
ments-some in full ard others only
partially, but nevertheless the step is
in the right direction.
However, as a whole the diverted
coal has not been paid for as yet and
banks have come to the rescue to help
tho operators to finance their payrolls.
Much inconvenience has been exper-
fenced by the operators through the
failure OF the final consignees to pay
for the coal. Many railroad compan-
les have received the coal and so far
the United States railroad admins.

Events Point to Near End
of Civil War
There.
European Manager N. E. A.
BY HAROLD E. BEcHToL

European Manager N. E. A.
LONDON, Jan. 5.-Peace with
Russia!
Everything points to an allied Of
fort to end the civil war in Russia
and, If possible, help the. various
Russian groups 10 gel together.
Then, under peace conditions, Rus
STA can decide wldi kind of govern
ment or governments she wants.
Behind the scenes, events have
George announced: mo more British
aid fsr Denikin."
The movement toward peace is nor
prompted by any new love for Boil
shevism. Nor / 1t probable that any
of the allies will rush in and recognize
Lenine's cold-blooded experiment
In the "Fecler" Stage.
But Russian peace is in the "feeler''
stage right now, and Is making pro-
gross daily. Here are some of the i'm
portant squirting facts behind it:
business interests are insistent-
ly demanding peace with Russia.
Cheaper raw materials and food
would hit the cost of living.
&Lenine knows this, is increasing
his peace efforts and Is making spec
ial appeal to allied business interests.
He is also moving steadily to the more
conservative right, by compromise.
S-The allies are in real fear of a
German Russian alliance il peace
waits too long.
Western Europe no longe
stands in the trembling that the
, opening up" OF Russia will blow Boil
shevistic red terror all over the world.
Withdrawal OF British military aid
generally, has come to regard Deni-
kin, Kolchals and the other white
hopes" as hopeless bets.
European sentiment has chrystal-
lized on the Wilson-Lloyd George
theory, long preached, but only now
coming into practice, that 'Bolsheytsul
will not be overthrown by the
sword"
Germany Is Active.
British and France are tired OF 60
ing to America where they get only
81 worth for the pound, for raw ma
terials which they might be buying
cheaply in Russia with the exchange
rate in their favor.
Germany is extremely active and
friendly toward Russia, and Lloyd
George and his advisors and allies are
wide-awake to the danger of Rus
sian alliance that might cas-
lily leave Germany gamer through
the war.
Tho allies acknowledge that LenIne
is playing shrewd "home" game In
constantly offering to make peace on
terms that must appear to the Rus
sian people to be very liberal.

during the voyage the girl wondered
about America and what she would
find in L>~mont among hills which
Dominic had been writing her about.
for Dominic thinks there is no place
like Fairnont. Dominic,s mother in
far of sunny Italy had drawn such
a picture of her son across the ocean
that it was with high spirits that the
girl started and continued her iour-
ney.
Dominic Is widower. His wife
died number OF years ago and he has
lived since on Washington street, hiy
present home, with a sister whose
husband Is also dead. This sister
kept house for him. It was not until
this sister married again last fall that
Dominic began to be especially inter-
ested in the picture OF the young Ital-
ian gill whom his mother wrote about
in such glowing terms.
