Paris, Dec. 27.—The supreme coun- cil went inta session this morning un- der the presidency of Premier Clemen- ceau and received information as to‘ the results of the first meeting be- | tween German and Allied military ex- perts regarding arrangements for exe- cution of the treaty of Versailles. Insufficient Material, It appeared on the first exchange of views that the railroad material offer- ed by the Germans for the transporta- | tion of allied troops to districts where | plebiscites are to be held was consid- ered insufficient by the allied represen- tatives. The council also conside ture of the reply to the S randum concerning entry of Switzer- land into the league of nations. The council will reply to the Swiss sugges- tion that its entry into the league be subject to certain conditions. The report on the negotiations with the Germans over the troop transpor- tation question was laid before the council by Gen. Weigand. The report revealed that the Germans had de- ¢lared that because of lack of mate ial it was impossible to supply the sf trains daily demanded by the Allies. They made an offer of four trains a | day for the time required. red the na- iss memo- Berlin, Dec. 26.—The ‘latest note of the entente demanding the signing of the protocol to the peace treaty, was informally discussed at a brief ses- sion of the cabinet today. Germans Arc Suspicious. Official opinion in Berlin relative to tlie entente communication, it. is sald, regards it as further evidence that the supreme couneil is *‘playing politics.” Government officials point out’ what is believed here to be a seeming contra- diction in the note which in its intre- ductory sentence refers to the absence of American ratification and subse- quently mentions the possibility that the United States may be definitely omitted from the list of ratifying pow- ers, The Berlin government belicves reference to this condition superfluous in as much as it has already indicated it does not propose to construe Ameri- ca’s failure to participate as entitling Germany to concessions, especially as the cabinet is fully aware that ratifi- cation by three powers is all the sanc- tion needed. Want Definite Tonnage. From information obtalnable ta- night, it is evident the government is determined to have the entente de- mand for indemnity tonnage for Ger- man warships sunk at Scapa Flow pre- cisely indicated. To this end, the Ger- ! man reply, it is indicated, will suggest that a second protocol definitely estab- lishing the tonnage in respect to the nature and volume of equipment to be turned over be signed simultaneously ?with the original protocol. It is said that opinion in cabinet circles today was that Germany would be justified | in yielding to the ‘entente demand for signing the main protocol only if a parallel documet covering the tonnage issue specifically should also be includ- ed in the final ratification of the treaty. ~ Commission Expected. Official guarters expect the arrival of a commission of experts which wili ~visit Hanseattic and Baltic ports for the purpose of informing itself as to the nature and quantity of harbor and dock equipment at Germany's disposal. | Charges that Germany has disposed of 4 large amount of this material since |. to| the entente indicated its intention requisition it are regarded ofiicially a totally unfounded. Tt is also stated that Kurt von Lersner, head of the German delogation at Versailles. and his associates were cut off fram all eommunication with Berlin from Mon- day until Wednesday afternoon and that the French foreign office offered the German representatives neither o substitute telephonc nor a telegraph wervice. | Further east another center of rebel- | the north and northeast. KOLGHAK FACES | GRAVE SITUATION Many Defeats and Reverses ior; Russian Admiral a HE MAY LOSE GOVERNMENT Socialists Form a Committee Gov- ernment in Siberia in Leader’s | Absence and Organize Insurrection —Revolutionists Take Dcpot. London, Dec. 27.—Admiral Kol- chak head of the all-Russian gov- crnment in Siberda, apparently faces 4 critical situation according to Mos- cow advices. Bolshevik forces, advancing east- ward along the Trans-Siberian rail- road from Omsk recent capital of | the all_Russian regime, are said to have captured Tomsk and Taiga, and | to have occupied a number of smal- | ler towns in that region. Kolchak and | his cabinet left Tomsk recently re- | tiring to the cast but reports received here Indicate the retreat of the all- Russian armies may be cut off as a result of the action of social revolu- tionary elements which have set up a new government at Cheremkovo, about 80 miles northwest of Irkutsk. lion has developed in the Amur river | valley, Blagovestchensk being isolated from the outside world, according to dispatches. ‘War Munitions Last. Taiga which is situated at the junc- tions between the Trans{Siberian and a spurlinx which uns northward to Tomsk, was, it seems a supply | depot for the Kolchak forces, and when the town fell a large amount of munitions of ‘war fell into the hands of the Soviet armies. Galician forces, which some time ago left the army commanded by Simon Petlura, the Ukrainian peasant leader and joined Gen. Denikine in southern Russia have revolted against Denikine and have -attacked the lat- ter's army in the rear, according to Moscow reports. The Galiclans are suid to have been ordered to defend Kicv against Soviet troops which have been moving nearer that city from Say U. S. and Javan Agree.

Paris, Dec. 27.—Revolutionary so- cialists have formed a committee gov- ernment in Irkutsk, Siberia, where the all-Russian government of Ad- miral Kolchak established its head- quarters after being driven from Omsk according to news received in French official circles today. The rev- olutionists took possession of Irkutsk station on the trans-Siberian railway the reports state. Premier Pepelieff, of the Kol¢halk government is absent from Irkutsl, being on his way west to meet Admiral Kolchak for a conference regarding the formation of a new ministry. M. Tretchikoff, minister of foreign affairs, also left Irkutsk recently to meet | Gen. Semenoff, the Cossack leader, in the Baikal region. Taking advantage of the absence of the principal members of the govern- ment, the socialists according to the | advices, organized an insurrection. 1t is considered doubtful here whether Admiral Kolchak wille find anything of his government when he finally reaches Irkutsk. He is report- ed as having encountered great ditfi- | culties with det: hments of Czecho- Slovak troops which are en route to Viadivostok by the Trang-Siberian railway. These troops have been guarding sections of the line and have not been getting along well with Kol- | chak.

A telegram recelved here from Belle Isle last night sald that the government employes,, including two lighthouse keepers, and thelir wives and children ere isolated from the rest of the world and had only a scanty supply of provisions on hand. The government steamer Aronmore, loaded with provisions for their relief, foundered a few weeks ago. The food wes then transferred to the govern- ment steamer Montealm, now at Bonne Bay, N.

While the figures are not available for the total number of itemized arrests, as the fiscal year of the police depart- ment begins April 1 of each year, there are interesting figures to be seen in a tabulation of total arrests for each month for the past year and the corresponding months of 1918. During the months of April, May and June, before wartime prohibition became a law, the arrests for into: cation were as May, 24, and June, s or became effective the follows: July, 10: August, tember, 14; Octob: 14; vember 8.

Several Raid: Several raids were executed by the police on the temples of “knights of chance”, and the proprietors and fre- quenters were fined in police court later. The city is fairly free from this sort of vice but there are a few of the “tin horn” type who are evidently “getting away” with something. A fortune teller paid a fine of $100 and costs in court about two months ago for alleged mulcting a customer out of his roll.
