ALLIES DECIDE FOB ■
RUSSIANS TO FISHT
ouTomtm
LONDON, Dec. 13.—The allies ap
parently have settled the long-stand
ing “Russian question” by deciding
to let the Russians fight it out
among themselves.
This decision, according to author
itative information tonight, was
reached at a conference of Premier
Lloyd Geprge, Premier Clemenceau
Foreign Minister Sciaolia and Amer
ican Ambassador Davis.
The report, as circulated in gov
ernment circles tonight, was that
the allied representatives, while de
ciding definitely to have no dealings
with the Bolsheviki, also had de
termined to refuse further aid either
to General Denikine or Admiral
Kolchak, the principal anti-soviet
leaders.
No information was forthcoming
as to whether the allies had decided
to abandon the Russian economic
blockade. While, on the face of it,
the conference’s decision was strong
ly favorable to the Bolsheviki, it
was pointed out that should the al
lies continue to isolate soviet Rus
sia and at the same time keep open
to private and neutral interests the
ports controlled by Denikine and
Kolchak, the Bolshgvikl would- still
be at. a great disadvantage.
Shortly before the Secisipn. of the
council was learned, a Copenhagen
dispatch reported that the -American.
Britishi French and Italian ministers
there had definitely refused to con
sider the peace overtures made by
Boris Litvinoffj- Bolshevik envoy.
They told him,.,according to the dis
patch. that their dealings with him
would be limited to negotiations for
exchange of., prisoners. It was ac
cepted that the piinisters had some
advance information as to the deci
sion to be reached by allied rep
resentatives ’ in London,
Military Situation Stabalized
The military situation in Russia
has become almost completely sta
bilized since the abortive attempt to
take Petrograd. Kolchak, according
to the latest advices, will be unable
to attempt another offensive on a
large scale before spring, if then.
Denikine, delayed dispatches from
Odessa said, drove the Bolsheviki
from Kieff again December. 2, and
whs advancing eastward.
The conferences n,ow under way, it
is apparent now, are intended to clear
away the loose ends left by the
peace conference in Paris. In fact,
one British oficial referred to them
as “a continuation of the peace con
ference.”
Many well informed persons were
inclined to believe tonight that "the
allied decision regarding Russia will
remove immediately a cause for con
siderable political unrest in Europe
an allied countries. The uncertainty
of the allies policy toward Russia
engendered an endless chain of ■ fac
tional bickering..
It is estimated that the money
spent by Uncle Sam on munitions
during the war would be sufficient
to rebuild New York City twice.

Women in Reformatory
Tell Investigators of
Punishment Cruelties
• BEDFORD, NJ Y|, Dec. I?. —When
..she was accused b’f shaking her cell
door inf-the Bedford reformatory,
Mrs. Elizabeth Nichols, twenty-eight
years old, today told John S. Ken
nedy, vice president of the prison
commission investigating conditions
there, that guards bound her legs
and arms in a blanket, and ducked
her head in cold water several times.
In November, 1918, she said, she
was confined to her cell on a bread
and-water diet 'for two weeks, and
forced to sleep on the floor. She
testified that last June she was hand
cuffed for twenty-fotif hours to the
bar of her cell and kept in a stand
ing position during the day and a
sitting- position during the night.
The witness acted queerly while
testifying, and the commissioner
suggested she be sent to the Rome
School for Feebleminded. Mrs 1 . Nich
ols broke in hysterics when she
learned she was to be sent to Rome,
and was taken from the room scream
ing.
Lillian Rosefnstein, another witness,
declared she was put on a bread-and
water diet for seven days, for sug
gesting to Superintendent Helen A.
Cobb, that she take her picture
“strung Up” while the superintendent
was escorting a photographer
through the building.
- ‘-Last June, she said, two other girls
1 and herself were strung up, feet off
the floor for twenty minutes.
“They threw four pails of water on
each of us, and washed our mouths
with soap and water,” she said.

' WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—A bill
was introduced today in the house

‘ of the Athens district, providing for
the payment of $150,000 to the heirs
J of Joseph Hansard, deceased, in sat
isfaction of his claim against the

its troops in Columbus, Ga., d.uring
[ the War Between the States. Joseph
, Hansard, born in Ireland and a Brlt

, ton -export, business in Columbus.
\ At the close of the war General Wil-
L son occupied that city, and by his
. orders the cotton stored in various
, warehouses there was burned by his
tr.oops. Despite Hansard’s protest
, that he was a British subject and
’ had purchased the cotton for export,
. it was burned. This was after Lee’s
surrender, but before peace officially
had been declared. The heirs at law
include Mrs. Duncan, Mrs. MacDoug

' Lake City, Utah. Mrs. Frank L.
. Hareman, of Athens, is indirectly in- ,

Poincare Learned to
? Talk English During War
Every one knows now well the.
' I premier of France speaks English.
5 > but few aie aware that since the
- | beginning of the war President Poth
i | odre has learned .o speak English
s [almost as well as Mr. Clemenceau,
a! It was a matter for regret to
i President F'oincere that w'hen the
■ ! war brought England, America arid
! France into close contact that he
had to rely on a translator for news
from the American and English
papers and also that he was barred
from fifst hand conversation with
the military and political chiefs of
the two English speaking nations
He therefore decided to study the
language of his two great neigh
bors. Accordingly he had lessons
every day with an instructor. He
was from the first an apt pupil, and
the fact that his wife is thoroughly
familiar with English was a great
help to him.
When General Pershing arrived
from America President Poincare
was able to hold a conversation - with
im in English. He also employed
English in talking with President
Wilson. Today without hesitation
he can discuss anything in English.
He can even make speeches in a
language which was totally unknown
to him five years ago.
Thieves Pass Up $6,000 but
Grab the Booze in Safe
Grab the booze and let the money
go, seems to be the motto of the
thieves of the prohibition period. At
least that is what yeggmen did who
entered the safe of Ralph Hirsch
field’s dental laboratory in New York
recently.
The safe contained six thousand
dollars worth of gold and platinum
alloy, and the thieves evidently
planned a good haul. They drilled
the. safe and were ready to touch
it off when they discovered a case,
of whiskey on top of the safe.
-’■lmmediately they ceased operations
on the safe, drank as much whiskey
as they wanted and carried the re
mainder away, leaving the gold and
platinum untouched.
The identity of the yeggmen has
not yet been discovered by the po
lice but Mr. Hirschfield says that he
is convinced now that the best form
of burglary insurance is conspicuous
ly displayed booze.
No Calamity Need Be
Feared From Mixup
Os Planets Wednesday
NEW YORK, Dec. .vorld
need fear-xrib! ? Calamitous effects
Tfbm the peculiar configuration of
ttie planets that will take place next
Wednesday, according to a Staten'* it
by Dr. Harlan T. Stetson, of the
Harvard astronomical laboratory, is
sued here today.
Predictions of floods, electrical
storms, riots and other disturbances
of far reaching effect, credited re
cently to a popular meteorological
scientist, are based on nothing more
substantial that "hot air,” Dr. Stet
son said.
“There is absolutely no scler.tific
foundation for predicting any the
other phenomena such as riots,
which have been described as pos
sibilities,” he continued. “We can
rest assured that ~ur lives will re
main untroubled on December 1? by
anything which could be traced to
the position of' the planets.”
On December 17, according to the
Harvard scientist, all the planets
with the exception of the ea nn will
lie in an approximate line with the
sun and all of them except Uranus
i will be on the same side of the sun.
■ They will be strung along jn approx
imately the same plane and approx
imately the same line, like so many
points on one spoke of a wheel.
Meanwhile Uranus will be on the
same line but on the other side of
i the sun, like the point on a spoke
: directly opposite.
Ban Goes on Liquor

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Ex
portation cf intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes will not be per
mitted after January 16, when the
prohibition amendment becomes ef
fective, according to the bureau of
internal revenue. The fact that
spirits are in transit in this country
on that date or are in warehouse?
at the port of export or are on board
ship will not be regarded as com
pliance with the law, but it must be
actually outside of the territory of
the United States on January 16.

RELIEFS Slfflffl
CHICAGO. Dec. 13.—Partial relax
ation of the restrictions on use of
fuel, optimistic reports regarding re
sumption of production in virtually
all fields and substantial restoration
of passenger train service in many
sections today brought to the public
the greatest measure of relief since
the coal situation became acute. At
some mines workers still expressed
dissatisfaction with the terms of
President Wilson’s proposal which
led to ending the strike officially,
and central Pennsylvania operators
also were displeased, but officials re
garded indications as pointing to a
return to normal production early
next week.
Continuation of the severe weather
of the last few days in the Pacific
northwest and a return of sub-zero
temperatures in the plains states,
and central and southwest, with a
spread eastward today added to the
discomfort resulting from depleted
coal stores and fuel restrictions. In
Washington and Oregon record cold
•weather prevailed and below zero
temperatures were reported from
Utah, Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming,
the Dekotas, Colorado, lowa and Min
nesota. A strong north wind swept
into the Southwest bringing a cold
wave that was expected to send ther
mometers to 10 degrees below zero
today.
In the plains states, west and
northwest, snow interfered with wire
and rail communication. Trans-con
tinental trains were ten to twelve
Itours late because of Wyoming bliz
zards. In South Dakota and north
ern Nebraska a similar situation pre*
vailed.
Dissension from the strike settle
ment today seemed to be greatest in
Ohio and Illinois. Several thou
sand miners in Ohio voted to remain
on strike and a number of locals
in Illinois maintained their express
ed determination to remain away
from the mines until more than the
agreed 14 per cent wage increase was
forthcoming. Unio nleaders in both
states, however, were optimistic re
garding an early return to work by
the disgruntled men.
GOVERNMENT REGARDS
STRIKE PRACTICALLY OVER
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—The na
tion found partial relief today from
the rigid restrictions on coal con
sumption enforced through the rail
road administration as a result of
the fuel dearth caused by the strike
of soft coal miners. Regional direc
tors of railroads over practically the
entire country have modified the re
strictions by authority of Director
General Hines, who issued an order
leaving the enforcement of the regu
lations in their discretion.
Where local conditions permitted
the directors after receiving the or
der, revoked the restrictions on coal
and gave merchants an opportunity
to reap the harvest of the heavy
Christmas trade. Some anxiety haa
been felt among retailers over the
limitations of business hours and in
dustrial plants were facing heavy
losses by enforced shutdowns.

British Successful in
Drives Against Turks
LONDON, Dec. 13.—Another min
iature British war has just been
concluded with the return of two
columns operating to the northeast
of Mosul and to the southeast of
Amadia, Asiatic Turkey, after suc
cessful expeditions against the
Kurds, in order as officially stated
to punish them for the commission
of outrages and murders.
The troops, consisting of four
battalions of Indian infantry and a
mountain battery and three com
panies of Assyrians, met with eno
mous difficulties in a country al
most impassable, but the health' of
the men remained good throughout
and their losses in engagement were
slight. Civil administration has been
restored in the district, and the
troops have been withdrawn.
Historic Theater in
Washington Destroyed
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Ly
ceum theater, known before the Civil
war as the Washington Assembly
Hall and which for nearly a century
has played a part in the social life
the. capital and in which five
presidents held inaugural balls, is
now little more than a mass of flame
blackened ruins today. Fire, -which
started about midnight from a light
ed cigarette thrown into a crowded
gallery and which imperiled the lives
of upwards of 2,000 persons, dam
aged the buildings and contents to
the extent of about $75,000 last
week.
Harvey’s restaurant, another es
tablishment famous for its gathering
of notables before the C.vil war,
■which adjoins the Lyceum, at the
corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
Eleventh street, i.nd which was
threatened by the flames, was only
slightly damaged. A number of mid
night diners were forced to flee.

TO SWi STATUS
■With the restrictions on the con
sumption of coal removed by the
regional coal committee and the res
toration by the regional director of
passenger train schedules, which will
take place on minute after midnight
Sunday, the industries and railroads
in the south will resume their nor
mal state of operations.
All in the region have an
nounced in detail the restoration of
all train schedules which were cut
off by the orders of the regional
director. Additional cars will be
carried in many cases in order to
relieve the congestion of passenger
traffic which has been occasioned by
the curtailment of schedules and
the interruptions caused by the flood.
The relief came in time to allow the
roads to handle the heavy holiday
traffic.
While the coai committee has re
moved all its restrictions on the con
sumption of fuel and has modified
greatly its restrictions on the dis
tribution of coal to consumers, the
committee points out that there will
be a shortage of coal all during the
winter and urgently ad-qses all con
sumers to eccnomize and conserve
their coal.
The committee was engaged all
day Saturday instructing the rail
road officials at various points in
the region in the matter of distrib
uting the coal in the yards to the
consignees. After the removal of
the restrictions Friday night, the
committee was flooded with requests
for coal from industries which have
not been able to operate since No
vember 29. Teelgrams were re
ceived from consumers all over the
region expressing their gratification
at the lifting of the restrictions.
According to the report of the fuel
administrator in Washington the
country Is behind In the production
of coal to the extent of approximate
ly 35,000,000 tons and the return
of the miners to work and an imme
diate increase in the coal output to
the normal status will not remedy
this loss for some time. The com
mittee will continue to keep a close
watch on the coal situation and
should it appear that the coal supply
is Insufficient to meet the demands
of the seven classes on the priority
list steps will be taken to call back
into force restrictions both on the
consumption and distribution of coal
in the region. It is thought, however,
that this will not be necessary.
The restriction on the sale of coal
to household consumers of one ton
at a time is still in force. It is prob
able that this last restriction may
be removed shortly by the commit
tee. The committee, however, issues
a special warning to household Con
sumers to observe their supply. Do
mestic coal in the southern region
is very low. according to the reports
reaching the committee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Absence
