U. 5. Deficit in
 Rail Operation
 to be S64,50O,O ,O0O

Washington, Jan. 2.-The gov ernment deficit from railroad op- eration in November will be ap- proximately $64,50O 900, low rec ord for the year, according to figures made public tonight by the bureau of railway economies. Net operating income for the month was estimated to have fallen below $20,000,000 which the bureau of economics declared the lowest iC 50 years when computed as per centage of investment.
 Gross revenues for the montH were estimated at close to $436, 100000. This figure is only slight ly below the high mark of a year ago, but the heavy expenses, due in part to the coal strike whic. also reduced the revenues, left little of the operating revenues a. net
 The governments net loss, the bureau estimated, on the basis oi interstate commerce commission figures, has reached S543,000, ,0ot in the 23 months of railroad opera tion. The bureau placed the loss for the II months in 1919 at more than $331 100000.
 December returns on the rail road operation was forecast as briring another decline in a state ment issued a few days ago by Director General Hines, who print led to the inevitable loss in reven- ues incident to the coal strike.
 The November earnings as com puted by the bureau with com- parative figures for the cores pending month in 1918 follow:
 Revenues, 1919, $436, 6,000,000; 1918, $40 ,000,000
 Expenses and taxes, 417,000 : 1000; 1918, $383,5O0,0O0.
 Net income, $19,000.000; 1918, $56,500,000.
 While the November revenues were said by the bureau, to show an increase of $149,200,0OO as con- pared with the average for the month in the three year test per iod before the war, expenses and
 'xes have also increased more than $213,000,000.

 perilling the left flank of the
 caucasus army. The bolsheviki evi- dently have succeeded in brilliant. Sly concentrating overwhelming sforces agairst Denekina's some what thinly held frontier, and are iexploiting their advantage to ths fullest degree.
 Another threatening situation exists in Trans -Gaspia, where tht bolsheviki claim that they have occupied a point 80 miles east 0!

Efforts to End
 Treaty Deadlock
 Again Under Way

Washington, Jan. 2.-Efforts to break the treaty deadloeK in the ser ate were renewed today IS senators of both parties began re- turing from their holiday trips preparatory to the reconvening of congress on Monday, but the only surface developments were a number of conferences in which both Senator Lodge of Massachu- setts, the republican 'eade>,,, and Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska acting leader of the democrats were prominent figures, though they did not see one another. All |of the conferees declined to gc into details, but they gave an in. pression of hopefulness that inc days work had advanced the situation. Who should make tine frs: open move for a compromise however, continued a warmly de- bated question leach side appaY or'ly maneuvering to force the other side to be first to break dowr from it's former position Meantime both sides wera at work on proposals they hoped te Use, once the wheels of compromise 1 formally are set in motion.
 1 Article 10 continue the c.u. iof all discussion, neither side hav- ling fo,lnd much favor for ts round atoat proposals on the subject Next in prominence was the question of voting power III the leacue of nations, with the demo crats apparently determincd te make some modification in the reservation adopted at the last session by the republican majority The general impression was thai an agreement on Article 10 would almost end the controversy.
 In declaring formal compromise offers must come from the demo. crats, the republican leaders reiter. ated that enough senators to de. feat notifications were pledged te accent no compromise that wouli impair materially the majority'y reservation program of last sea
 son. To this Senator Hitchcock replied that there were enough o,
 his side of the chamber to defeat
 ratification who were pledged against any compromise that did
 not impair materially the major
 lty program.
