Heating Power of the Press. (Norwich Record.) Another evidence of the power of the press! Once more the moulder of public opinion, the medjum ot thought, the lever that moves na- tions, is gloriously demonstrating its sreat usefulness to the count at large. This time it is being ufed for firewood. ‘A Boston genius, who seems to have a greater desire for hodily heat than for mental culture, has dis- covered that by tightly_rolling sev- ‘eral newspapers together, soaking them in kerosene, and cutting them into cordwood, one may obtain better and cheaper fuel than can ' be bought in the coal yard. Wonderful thought, and @all that. but the scheme is-not mew. Newspapers have been burnt before, sometimes by the sub- scriber, and sometimes by other trust- ed individuals. They have also been roasted, but not as an edible com- modity. ~Admittedly there 'is that quality in a newspaper that is essen- ,tial to the production of heat. Many a man has been made hot by what he found therein. Many another has en- joyed genial warmth by using it as a shirt, and in none of these cases was the kerosene ingredient introduced by the Boston genius necessary -to bring it up to the glowing point.

ARMISTICE READY FOR SIGNATURES (Continued from First Page) seas will be permitted under rules to be formulated by a cemmission. Immediately after signing the arm- istice peace negotiations are to be begun. It is provided that measures shall be taken for the exchange of civil prisoners, invalids, women and children under 14 years, and for the amelioration of the condition of war prisoners. The' treaty concludes with these words: : “With the purpose of facilitating the conduct of peace negotiations and wounds caused by the war, the contracting parties take measures for re-estab- lishmeRt of cultural and economic re- ]atlonswk(neng the signatories. With- fn such limits as the armistice’ per- mits, posta] commercial relations, the mailing of books and papers will be permitted, the details to be worked gut by a commission, representing all the interested parties at Petrograd.” ‘“The armistice gn the naval fronts embraces all of the Black sea and the Baltic sea east of the meridian, 15 degrees east of Greenwich. The de- markation line fixed for the Black sea the lighthouse- of Slinka to th estuary “of sthe Danube to Capa Garos. In the. Baliic the line tuns from Reoguel to the western coast: of Worns island to the island of Bag- sher to Khegarne. ! “Russian war vessels must not cross south of this line and the other par- ties must not go north. The Russian government guarantees that the En- tente war vessels will obey the rules of thig provision and that Russian war- ships will not be allowed to sail among the Aland islands.” Town Attacked. London, Dec. 17.—The town of Grosnyi in the Caucasus region ac- cording to a despatch to the Times from Odessa has been attacked by a warlike Caucasian tribe, ‘the Tchet- chin. The town was surrounded and besieged, after which there was a desultory fight between the tribes- men_and the garrison. The oil wells caught fire and some gre said to be burned out <ompletely. Many per- sons were killed and injured. Peace Policies, London, Dec. 17.—The Daily Tele- graph prints the text of a long state- ment on war aims and peace policies by the committee of the Trades Union congress and executive of the labor party which is to be submitted for en- dorsement by all sections of the Brit- rish labor movement at a conference at Westminster on Dec. 18. The state- ment follows mainly the terms of a similar pronouncement cabled abroad some months ago. It declares that in continuing the war, labor is actuated by a determination to make the world safe for democracy hereafter. Nla sym- pathy is expressed with attempts to convert the war into one of conquest, but the statement insists that restitu- tion and reparation and also certain territorial readjustments are necessary. if the renewal of armaments and war is to be avoided. The statement puts at the forefront a demand for the restoration ang re- habilitation of Belgium at the expense of Germany. It deals with Alsace T.or- raine, Italy, the Balkans, Poland, Tur- key and German African colonies on lines similar to those suggested in earlier documents. Attack Arscnal. London, Dec. 17.—The Petrograd Railwaymen’s unfon, according to a Reuter despatch fram Petrograd, re- ceived a telegram to the effect that the, Maximadist troops at Odessa at- tacked the senal where the Ukrain- ian rada was assembled. i The officials of the rada summoned the Ukrainian troops quartered in Odessa. These attacked the Maximal- ists, who were . defeated after street fighting in which there were many casualties on both sides. The sailors of the Black Sea fleet participated in the fighting. % Afterward the sailors divided, the majerity going over to the Ukrainians, who are preventing the Bolsheviki from sending troops from Odessa against Gen. Kaledines. From London. London, Dec. 17.—The predominant fact as regards the Russian situation armistice, 15 announced offi- clally at the capitals of all the countries * concerned. ‘According to despatches from. Petrograd, everyone there believes a permanent peace between Russia and the Central pow- ers will result, Correspondents in genéral treat as negligible the undertaking of Ger- many and her. ailies not'to withdraw troops from the eastern front. A Petrograd despatch to the Times says large masses of Germans already have been removed and that probably the German command has transferred all it purposes to employ elsewhere/ so that its plans are not likely,to be deranged seriously. The reported suicide during the armistice negotlations at Brest-Li- tovsk of the Russian general, Skatons, apparently has made a considerable impression at Petrograd, although ‘the Russian national commissaries are si- lent in regard to it. A Petrograd de- spatch to the Post says Gen. Skatons _was responsible fot the armi¥tice con- ditions, including the evacuation of Moon sbund, which so offended the Germans at the first meeting and ren- ‘dered nugatory the efforts of the /first. mission. Gen. Skatons returned most unwillingly for the second meet- ing under imperial orders of his su- periors. The correspondent seeks . to show there ig nothing to prove that he committed suicide, which is most Timprobable much - less than he was murdered. There is no confirmation of last week’'s Bolsheviki announcement re- garding the arrest of Gen. Kaledines. The situation in southern Russia con- tinues to be obscure and news is fragmetary and contradictory. Com- munication by rail and wire with Rostov, where fighting has occurred, is reported to have been stopped. Fighting near Kharkov'is reported in a despatch. Recognition Remote. Washington, Dec. 17.—Recognition of the Bolsheviki- government by the United States still is remote,; it was indicated at the State department. Re- ports in Europe developing a senti- ment in favor of dealing with the new regime 4s a de facta government have found no response here and it was made plain the United States would continue its policy of awaiting devel- opments. The reports from Ambassa- dor Francis are now coming through with more Tegularity, but consuls in many other parts of the country ap- pear unable to communicate with Pe- trograd. Dlplonlnfiic despatches to the State department from Teheran, Persia, contained an appeal for relief of the famine-suffering people in that region.
