Anderson, head of the Red Cross mission to Ru- mania has telegraphed from Jassy to Ambassador Francis an explanation of the Col. Kolpashnikoff-Rostov au- tomobile incident. He, declared it was intended originally to “send the au- tomobiles to Jassy but, suddenly con- ditions develonad here which indicat- ed it might be possible '.o g0 by the northern route.” *On Dec. &, condlflonl became acute,™ the telegram adds. “It then appeared that it might be necessary for the safety of the Red Cross units to leave Rumania by the southern route with the motor transport. It instructed Ool. Kolpashnikoff to take the automobiles to Rostov, intending to have a unit go southward by mo- tor from there. A few days later conditions changed for the better and I cancelled the order and seat Kol- pashnikoff back.to Petrograd. “The only reason for ordering the cars to Rostov was to provide for the safety of the units in case of emer- gency.” The statement concludes by saying Col. Anderson had nothing to do with any political or military conditions in Russia either directly or indirectly. Raymond Robins took this expian- ation to Leod TrotzKy, the Bolsheviki forelgn minister, who is responsible for the imprisonment of Kolpashni- koff and who has made allegations against the American embassy. Mr. | Robins who is head of the Red Cross missiqn to Russia took with him a Jetter from Ambassador Francis to Mr. Robins explaining the situation. It is understood Trotzky's attitude toward the new explanation is one of skepticism. Bad Snowstorm. ‘With the American Army in France Dec. 29, (By the Associated Press)— Still another day of howling snow- storm—the fourth day saw virtually the entire ' American expeditionary force within the army zome abandon preparations to battle the Germans and dig in to keep from being frozen.

German Papers, Amsterdam, Dec. 29.—Pan-German newspapers angrily condemn the peace terms of the Cemtral powers. The Taglische Rundschau of Berlin | says:. ““Never before have we given up so completely everything we so dearly bought with the blood of hundreds of thousands, with the sweat of milHons, with the deprivations of our children, with our own hunger.” The Deusche Zeitung says the En- tente has won the greatest victory of the war and that diplomats have de- stroyed all that has been fought for. The Koeinische Zeitung, on the other hand, regards the conditions as opening the road to a peace advan- tageous to all sides. The Lokal An- zeiger thinks the German arrange- ments to Russia will' not be much to the taste. of people with .military learnings, but adds: ‘“The outlines, however, are drawn wide enough to give scope for de- mands of justice. Definite judgment upon the peace work at Brest-Lit- ovsk depends on how far this possi- bility is utilized in later negotlations. Ttalian Attack. Berlin, Dec. 29.—An Italian attack against the Austro-German positions on the heights east of Monte Tomba broke down yesterday under Teutonic fire, it was announced today by the German war office.

Hartford, Dec. 29—Radical changes in methods of daily living, more sweeping probably than have previ- ously been officially suggested any- where In the country, are proposed in a letter sent out today by the commit- tee on fuel conservation of. the Con- nectiout State Council of Defense to al the local fuel committees in the state. The suggestions aim,at a sav- ing of coal by reducing the hours within which certain public and ‘semi- public places are to be kept open each day. They include the following pro- posals: That saloons, theaters, and other places of amusement be open fewer hours each day, that churches hold union services which would allow some of them to close for the durd- tion of the war; that country clubs close wholly or partly, that the holi- day recesses of schools be extended; and that private greenhouses be closed entirely. Among the proposals to ‘be taken up at community meetings is one to cur- tail the hours of saloons from 8 a. m. to 9 p. m. Cardinal Gibbons has al- ready issued an appeal to this effect. OOLD WAVE., —_— Causes Suffering Becamse of Lack of Boston, Dec. 29.—The most severe, cold wave experienced in New Eng- land since 1914 swept in from the northwest early today and caused widespread suffering because of the general lack of fuel. From a maxi- mum reading of 37 degrees yester- day the temperature dropped to 4 de- grees below in Boston at 7:30 o’colck this morning with little indication, weather bureau officials said, of any rise durin the day. Many trains were unable to main- tain schedules, as steam from exhaust pipes on locomotives turned to frost and ice and engines worked badly, due to some extent, it was sald, to the chadracter of coal with which the roads are éndeavoring to supply the power. MILK COMMISSION. ‘Will Fix Prices After Making Thor- ough Investigation Into Matter. Boston, Dec. 29.—The federal milk commission for New England will fix a price for milk on Jan. 1, or a day or two later. This was announced last night after an executive meeting of the commission. Philip R. Allen, chairman, said the commission would meet next week to examine the statistics it hud zathered. “We had hoped.” he said, our report ready by Monday, so the new prices would be effecti an. 1 but we have so many statistics to go over that possibly we hall be de- layed a day or two.” “to have SECRETARY LANE.

Friends May Send Seven Pound Pack- ages to Troops. A misapprehension regarding what may be sent to the men in France has arisen. Postmaster W. F. Delaney asserts- that the local post office will take anything weighing seven pounds or less provided that it is well se- cured in a corrugated pasteboard box. This limit is necessary because the women who do work in French postoffices and railroads have refused to handle heavier parcels. GIFT TO EMPLOYES. The employes of the Skinner Chuck Co. have expressed their gratitude for the genérosity of the tompany in dis- tributing to each of them a New Year’'s card with a sum of money.

Trotzky is also said to be preparing a new message to the peoples of the world. \ The Russian delegates to the peace conference at Brest-Litovsk<will re- turn to Petrograd today. The Izvestia, the organ of the Workmen’s and Soldiers’ delegates, dealing with the peace proposals ot Count Czernin, says: “Without attaching too much value ta the concessions in principle made by the Central Powers, let us look. for the result in an acute erisis and dis- | content among the masses of the Cen- | tral Powers. These conditions allow | us to hope for a democratic peace.” The Pravda considers that the re- fusal of the Central Powers to discuss the question of nationalities which Wwere not independent before the war | as an lntema.uom question, proves they are afrald to' examine into the question of the position of those na- tioanalities from the point of view of the right of nations freely to decidei their own destinfes. ‘‘But then,” the Pravda adds, ‘how can they bring forward the questions of Courland, Poland, and Lithuania, which,” ‘from their point of view, ought to be regarded as questions of the internal life of Russia?” '~ Brest-Litovsk, Dec. 29.—Discussion by the Allies (Teutonic). and the’Rus- slan delegate of, special .questiéns con- tinued today at'the peace conference. The deliberations thus far have pro- gressed to a stage where a brief in- terruption in ‘the negotiations is ex- pected in order to enable the delc- gates to communicate with their gov- ernments. - London, Dec. 29.—A Russian Field Hearquarters communique issued at Petrograd after a long interval’ men- tions .only | the western: and south- western fronts. It ignores the north- ern front, but indicates that there is still a Russian front in existence along about two-thirds the length of the Russian lines. The semi-official Russian - news agency reports a general meeting of representatives of the Petrograd gar- rison to examine the international sit- uation. T.eon Trotzky, the Bolshevist foreign minister, is quoted as declar- ing to the assemblage in an address that as peace had not yet been con- cluded the front ought to be main- tained intact and the Petrograd gar- rison ought to participate in holding it. The representatives of the garzi- son, says the agency dispatch, voted in favor of{sénding detachments to points where they were needed. The Detr d correspondent of The Times describing the effect upon the Bolshevist authorities of the ru- mored proposal of the German and Austrian delegates to the Brest-Lit- ovsk conference that in a certain con- tingéncy various strategic points in Russian territory should be occupied by the Central powers, says it caused consternation at the Smolny institute, the Bolshevist headquarters. Dr. von Kuehlmann, the German foreign secretary, is reported as hav- ing replied to the Russian complaint regarding the refusal of passports to German minority socialists by stating that he did not see any hindrance to peace in preventing communicatior: between the Russian and German so- cialists. Washington, Dec. 29.—Dispatches from Berne today quote Berlin news- papers as saying that the peace nego- tiations between the Germans and the Russian Bolsheviki will he continued at Warsaw because Brest-Litovsk does not offer sufficient accommodations for those attending the conference.

Club. Earlier in the day the home office of the New York Life Insurance Company announced the enrolment of every employe from manager to office bo; This added 1,400 to the Red Cross membership in a single block, which is the largest individual increment yet reported in the One Hundred Per Cent. Club. From the Battery to the Bronx, Tammany men began their house to house canvass. Each of the 837 elec- tion districts of Manhattan had its quota of forces at work, and in all nearly ten thousand men were covering the borough in the most systematic way. As the men selected for' the work by the district leaders were those having the widest acquaintance in their respective neighborhoods, the cdnvass had the strongest possible peronal appeal, E. H. Connelly, the Tammany lead- er in direct charge of the canvass, re- ported that the workers were meet- ing with « ready response, particular- ly in the tenement and middle class sections. In districts where Tammany s strongest virtually none of those failed to enroll. Many of the can- vassers were prepared to present their plea in foreign languages, so that foreign born elements of the pop- i ulation were by no means overlooied. 50,000 Enrolled in Day. Although no figures resulting from the Tammany drive are likely to be made public until the end of the ef- i fort on Saturday night, it was esti- mated at Red Cross campaign head- a been listed yesterday, bringing :p the Manhattan total to about £00,00¢ and leaving 100,000 to be won today and tomorrow to realize the promised 500,000 members. The accounting department announced the total cash received from the borough up to yes- terday morning as $223;801.56.
