GOVERNMENT PAYROLL
(By Associated Press)

MOSCOW. Dec. 14-(By a Staff Cor
respondent of The Associated Press
There are 100000 on the Russian
governments civil payroll, says re-
port just made by Yourey L.arin, the
former Social Revolutionist leader
and chairman of a committee selected
by the Central government to reduce
the number of institutions supported
by the government and to eliminate
unnecessary bureaus.
Karl Radek, Bolshevist leader,
stated in a recent article that the
strength of the Soviet army is
5000 900 men. The size of the navy
is not known.
Granting that the figures Of Radek
and Larin are correct the Bolshevist
government has at least 12,000,000 per
sons on its civil and military pay
rolls, or one person out of every ten
in what constitutes Soviet Russia.

BELFAST IS BITTER
over PUBLICATION
OF CORRESPONDENCE

LONDON. Dec. ii. - Bitterness
against the British government al
ready serious at Belfast, has been in
tensified by the publication there yes
terday of the correspondence between
Sir James Craig and Premier Lloyd
George relative to listers part in the
Irish settlement, it is declared by the
Morning Posts correspondent at the
Ulster capital.
He remarks that if the Sim Fem
had known of the exchanges between
London and Belfast before the Irish
treaty was negotiated, "the Sim Fein
leaders would certainly have regarded
them as an attempt to play off against
each other the contending elements OF
Ireland" He says they would have
resented the correspondence so much
that the negotiations would have been
jeopardized.
A prominent member of the Ulster
parliament" is quoted by the CORE
spondent as comparing Mr. Lloyd
George with a card sharper" who
keeps an extra ace up his sleeve and
produces it as the necessity of the
game demands.
Automatically included
Jhe OPINION held IN Belfast, It is
believed. although the prime minister
and King George had promised I'll
ster she could stay out of an all-Ire
land government until she chose to
come in. her position at present is
that she is automatically included in
such a government until she chooses
to come out" Loyalists are asserted
to have characterized this as "one OF
the worst violations of political faith
in history"

OUTSIDERS BARRED
FROM OHIO BONUS
FOR WAR VETERANS
Especial to The Palladium

COLUMBUS, O.. Dec. 14.-Final &C
ton was to be taken Tuesday On the
question pending before the state
board of sinking fund commissioners,
in charge of the state bonus compen-
sation for Ohios former service men
and women.
1t is said that the board will take
the position that all real residents of
Ohio at the time of enlistment are en-
titled to the bonus, regardless Of
whether or not they actually were in
Ohio when they offered to the country
their services in the World war.
The question was brought up yester-
day by Secretary of State Harry c.
Smith, and he found other members
to be sympathetic to his stand after
the matter had been discussed. At
torney General John G. Price review
ed the legal phases with Special Coun-
sci Clarence c. Laylin, and it was
agreed that the election supplied the
test of residence.
The matter finally went over until
Tuesday for final drafting of the form
of application. which will generally
settle the issue. The American Lee
gion had announced purpose of test
ing the matter in court if it should be
ruled that only those who actually en-
listed in Ohio were entitled to the
bonus.
One aspect of the situation, a
source of discussion, concerns the
status of residents of other states who
enlisted in Ohio. The number is not
believed to be large, but Secretary
Smith asserted that he believed it
would be relatively easy to prevent
them claiming share of the bonus.
The mere fact that they were in
Ohio when they enlisted was, he said
not a reason why they should be paid
The bonus was voted by Ohio as evil
dence of gratitude for services of the
former soldiers, sailors, marines and
nurses, and was not for residents OF
other states, who had to look to their
home states, he added.

ing made by capitalistic diplomats at
Washington"

may be in readiness to defend Rus
sian independence. The industry OF
the whole county must not slacken,
but must come to the aid of the army.
A dispatch from Chita says that
Japan having failed at the Dairen
conference to secure her demands on
the far eastern republic" has per
mitted General Markuloff. head of the

Japanese troops are not withdrawn
