Ocean carriers, plylng between American and European ports trans- ported in a period of a little over three months approximately 33,000 cubic tons of war relief material, shipped by’ the American Red Cross through its national clearing house. Hospital supplies, anaesthetics, | surgical dressings and foodstuffs were dispatched during that period in greater quantities than at any time since America’s entrance in the war. , The widening scope of the Red Cross work in Europe and the fact that cold weather is bringing with it pressing needs that must be met were said to be responsible for the in- creased shipments. The Red Cross is supplying not only war hospitals but also infirmaries, recuperating sta- tions, canteens, dispensaries, homes for nurses, and the many other things which it established in France to help save American lives and the lives of allied soldiers and civilian sufferers as well. A statement, which has been pre- pared covering shipments from Oct. 1st until the latest reported arrivel of the Red Cross cargo abroad, con- tains a list of commodities valued at $1,786,216. The valuation of the Red Cross shipments is based for the most part upon the cost to the Red Cross, which is buying at a figure just above the cost of manufacture. This report shows that since Oct. 1, 51 shipments were made to France, four to Italy, two to Russia, and one to Serbia. These shipments totalled about 13,000 cubic tons. The Russian shipments were valued at $71,120, the Italian shipments $28,603, and Ser- bian $5,100. Under the heading of hospital sup- plies, including anaesthetics, drugs, blankets, rubber goods, oilcloth, gauze, cotton, sheeting, tubing, surgical in- struments, and patients’ clothing, 13,- 630 cases, weighing 1,092 tons, were shipped. Two hundred and seventy-one cases of miscellaneous supplles, weighing 158 tons; 200 cases of laboratory sup- plies, weighing 10 tons, and 57 cases of X-ray equipment, weighing 7 tons, were transported. Since Oct. 1st, according to the tabulation, the following foodstuff was despatched to Europe: flour, 25,661 bags, weighing 602 tons; beans, 7,738 sacks, weighing 431 tons; condensed milk, 13,048 cases, weighing 820 tons; beef, 1,000 barrels, weighing 158 tons, and 2,500 bags of coffee, weighing 55 tons.

What really lies back of the con- ference it was too early for officlals to judge. It was significant that for- mer members of the Kerensky cab- inets were among those who assem- bled along with the Bolsheviki lead- ers, although the calling in of some members of an overthrown regime, it is recognized, may be a strategic move for effect on fhe diplomatic corps at Petrograd, who have uni- formly refused to indicate any recog- nition of the newly sprung element in Petrograd. - News of the conference overnight the London report that German staff officers are already in Petrograd acting as military advis- ers of the government in power. Of- ficial confirmation was lacking but if official confirmation comes, it is un- derstood here that the action will be met immediately by this government and its allies puttinig the Bolsheviki government squarely in the status of an ally of Germany, and final orders would be issued heading off all sup- plies for Russia. /i The economic effect on Germany would be to make available to her the vast stores of the great Russian empire and the restoration of Ger- man prisoners held in Russia and their use for service again at the Ger- man front. Peace Conference. London, Nov. 28.—Concerning the proposal of T. Stauning, leader of the Danish socialist party, for a confer- ence of the socialist internationale next month to further again peace, an Exchange Telegraph despatch from Fredensborg, Denmark says: “The Vorwaerts of Berlin saying that the German socialists would sup- port the proposed new international peace comference warmly and ener- getically as they did the unsuccessful Stockholm conference, declares the new conference will not be dependent on issuance of passports by the En- tente powers. The conference, it adds, held only for international socialists, cannot allow the governments of states, which are only apparently democratic, to deprive them of the right to influence the peace question.” followed THE DATE SET. Petrograd, Nov. 28.—Ensign Kry- lenko sent three representatives with instructions to request the German commander of the sector in which the crossing was effected to inquire of the German commander-in-chiof whether it was agreeable to him that representatives be sent for immediate negotiations for an armistice on the fronts of all belligerent countries, and in case his response was satisfactory to ask him to fix a time and place for a conference of representatives of both sides The Krylenko cmissaries crossed the German lines at 4 o’clock yester- day afternoon and were received by the German commander of the sec- tor. A reply was promised at 8 o'clock. At the appointed time the Germans gave official consent to the conducting of negiations. The con- ference was set for December 2. SPEAKING FOR POPE. Rome, Tuesday, Nov. 27.—Speak- ing in the name of Pope Benedict, the Papal secretary of state, Cardinal Gasparri, today issued a general de- nial of reports that the Vatican was working in the interest of a peace which would not be just or durable, and that propaganda from the Vati- can was responsiblé for the breaking down of the morale of Italian troops, with the consequent recent defeat on the Isonzo. It is stated that army chaplains worked to prevent demoralization of the troops. It is also said that the Pope disapproves of chain prayers and other peace efforts of this nature. CROWDER ANNOUNCES.

The police say the girl confessed she knew of the crime and that under pretense of going to a store for tooth- ache medicine she passed the bandits on tho street and urged them to post- pone the robbery because the book- keeper, Anton Comes, would not have as much money with him as the ban- dits expected him to have.

Recessions in active rails extended from substantial frac- tions to 2 points. U. S.

Penn- sylvania duplicated its recent mini- mum of 46 and Baltimore and Ohio made a new low under 50 whilé other coalers and western issues continued to react Delaware and Hudson making an extreme-loss of 2 1-2 points. The strength of a few specialties includ- ing Studebaker, was attributed to pro- fessional interests.
