Anti-Bolsheviki Element Foments Rebellion Among the Troops of Petrograd. London, Eng., Jan. 15.—Anti-Bolsheviki parties in Rugsia, ac- cording to a dispatch to theDaily News from Petrograd, are using the creation of a volunteer army by the Bolsheviki as tne basis o. an energetic agitation to turn the Petrograd garrison against the Lenine government. Efforts also are being made to start street demonstrations in favor of the constituent assembly. If the efforts are successful, the dispatch adds, the result will be anarchy. The constituent assembly is to meet Friday, It seems probable it will contair a majority against the Bolsheviki and will try to replace them by another government. Such a government, the Daily News says, would be infinitely less dangerous as an antagonist of Germany than the present one. ITALIANS MAKE GAINS.

Jnasmuch as the Caillaux case is in 1 judicial state, the United States will 1ot publish any documents upon it which have not been arranged for in advance with the French government. This is the first hint that the Lux- burg correspondence contained any- thing in regard to the Caillaux case.

TAXES IN MEN NOW OVER 21 Age Limit of 31 Is Not Raised by Measure Introduced by Chamberlain. Washington, D .C., Jan. 15.—At the request of the war department to- day Chairman Chamberlain of the sen- ate military committee introduced a bill for the registration for military daty of all men who have become 21 years old since June 5, 1917, when the draft law went into effect. To Furnish Harvest Help. Another bill, which Senator Cham- berlain introduced at the request of; the administration, would provide for furloughing national army men for harvesting crops and otuer agricul- tural duties. Another bill would put the quota of; the states on the b of available} men in the first class instead of on In determining upon the registration of men who have become 21 ce the draft law was enacted, the v department has rejected any plan to raise the age limits of the draft to take in men more than thirty-one. Will Supply Eligibles. Registration of mea who have be- come of age since the draft law was enacted, was referred to in in the re- cent report of Provost Marshal Gen- eral Crowder, as one of the means by which a supply of men for the nation- al army migit be assured without aking those who might have others lependent upon them. It could be; done also, the provost marshal gene! U pointed out, by. extending the its above the present line of thirty-, one. The war depar:ment has adopt- ed the first suggestion. It is esti- mated that it will add avout 700,000 men to the draft available each year.! Expect Prompt Passage. Congressmen have been advised that further legislation would be ne- sessary to perfect and carry on the draft and the passage of Senator; Chamberlain’s bill with the administra-) tion support is expected in both hous- 2s. promptly. Another pill ‘oduced by Senator Chamberlain would pro- vide for a badge or button for ex- empted men. Changing State Quotas. The bill changing the basis of the state quotas would provide a more equitable system, t would exclude entirely alien enemies from the basis. The bill to permit troops to go to ag- ricultural work merely would auth- orize the secretary of war to furlough men for civilian duty. It is known, however, that the war department in- tends to use the authority principally to provide men at harvest time and for other agricultural work vital to the food supply. : PURE SEED IS | Kerlin.
