PETROGRAD Jan. 2.—Civil war
is being prosecuted actively on the
Cossack front. The whole popula-
tion of the Don valley including
men and women has been mobilized.
All youths below 20 and all the
women will be employed lor the pur-
pose of maintaining transport and
other duties behind the fighting
line. The mobilization was put into
effect within 24 hours. Thousands
of officers formerly of the regular
army are now flocking to General
Kaledinc’s standard finding the con-
ditions imposed upon them to be in-
tolerable
Kaledines Gains Strength.
The Cossack general h is stated
that he now has an organization of
20000 men of commisisoned rank.
At Aloxanderowsk the Cossacks dis-
armed withe at resistance the Bol-
sheviki garrison. The Bolshevists
still continue in certain parts of the
mining districts but the dispatch of
coal from Northern Russia is on the
decrease. General Kaledines who
appears to have strengthened his
position by seeking re-election has
ordered the liberation of a number
of Bolshevists who arrived at Oran-
burg.
The Bolshevists troops at Oran-
burg were disarmed by the Cossacks
who had surrounded'':heir barracks
during the night At Kaseatin Uk-
raine troops it is stated disarmed
three Bolshevist regiments. After
the latter had taken oath that they
would never march against the
I Ukraine their arms were returned
to them.
The Germanization of Petrograd
I proceeds rapidly. A number of Aus-
trian and German prisoners of war
figured in the procession last Sun-
day and the delegates of the four
Gentral Powers accepted a conspi-
cuous place last night in the Nezlo-
bib theater. The total number of
Germans and Austrians and their
allies who have arrived here during
the last three days exceeds 200.
The price of some commodities in
this city has .fallen in anticipation
of the early arrival of German pro-
duct ;.
Desperate Battle Continues.
The Bolshevist committees in a
number of cities have liberated and
have given arms to a number of pris-
oners of war. It appears that n
number of Germans and Austrians
detained in a concentration camo
near Petrograd have been armed
or have been allowed the possession
of arms. As a result they have car-
ried out a successful raid in neigh-
bori ig districts plundering houses.
A violent conflict is reported at
Irkutsk between the Bolshevist
troops and the Cossacks and the
civil population. Fighting has con-
tinued there for eight days. Whole
quarters of the town have been
demolished Many families deprived
of shelter were frozen to death.
The arrest of Auxentieff which oc-
curred on Sunday has caused irrita-
tion among the Socialist revolution-
aries.
COSSACKS NOT OPPOSED.

Bolsheviki Garrison.
LONDON Jan. 2.—Cossack troops'
have occupied the town nf Alcxan-I
drovsk without opposition ami the
bolsheviki garrison was disarmed
according to reports received here
from Petrograd regarding the civil j
war in Russia. It is not stated which
Alexandrovsk was captured. Ther"
are several towns and villages in
Russia named Alexandrov sk. but the’
nearest to the Cossack territory arc'
those in Ekaterinoslax and in Stav-
ropol.

Bolsheviki swore never to fight
gainst the Ukrainians and Cos-i
sacks.
War Prisoners Armed.
The Cossack commander at Rostov
reports that the Bolsheviki have
liberated a number of prisoners of
war ami armed them. Bolsheviki
troops still occupy parts of the Don
n ining district but they are unable
to send coal to Petrograd.
There was more street fighting in
1 hlessa on Monday but it apparently
was not serious.
The Bolsheviki authorities accord-
ing to an Exchange Telegraph dis-
patch from Petrograd have re-
ceived information that the situa-
tion on the Roumanian front is’very
I serious. The relations nf th# 1 Bolshe-
• : ki with Roumanian officers are
said to be becoming alarming.
Roumanians slay Leaders.
It is said the Roumanains have oc-
cupied the Bessarabian town of
Loevo and have arrested and shot
several Bolsheviki leaders.
Leon Trotsky the Bolsheviki for- :
vign minister sent a note on the
subject'fd the Roumanian minister in |
Petrograd who. in his reply ac-1
cased Russian troops of plundering
Roumanian villages. It is said tha:
Trotsky regarded the reply as un-
satisfactory.

The verdict of the court with ref-1
eivnce to the five designated fori
ueath is in line with the testimony;
et witnesses who turned state s evi-|
uence and who pointed out these fixe

Testimony was also introduced to i
show that Collier and Robinson were
absent from vamp when the check
was made and were located in the
negro camp two miles distant from ;
( amp Logan when they should have;
been on guard. While Bullock
could identify none of the others as!
having fired he said they were be-]
hind him and shots came over his
head aimed at the car. Bullock was;
a member of "lower A" guard and i
left the camp with the defendants;
he said and was present when the]
tiring was done. Other testimony;
went to show that a conspiracy ex-
isted for the guard to leave its post
and join other negro soldiers at the
negro camp for a march on Hous-
t »n. While they were en route to
the negro camp it is claimed they
met Jones’ car and the killing oc-
curred.
Each of the defendants pleaded]
rot guilty to the charges. Three of !
them made voluntary unsworn state-]
ments in an effort to prove their in-
nocence. but none of them took the
witnes stand under oath.
seutences of < >thers.
Seventy-eight soldiers of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry have been
tried for crimes committed at Hous-
ton the night of August 23 last
when the negroes broke camp and
marched upon the city firing as they
progressed. Their outbreak cost
tw<.nty-two lives. Of the total to be
tried thirteen have been hung five
more are under sentence to be hang.
♦d. forty-one were sentenced to pris-
on tor life three were sentenced to
prison for ten years each seven to
prison for seven years each two were]
tenteneed to prison for two years and •
a half e:vh two to prison for two
years ea^h and five were acquitted.
The Houston riot occurred while
the third battalion of the Twenty-
fourth was stationed near that city:
as guards during the construction|
of Camp L/*gan. It is claimed it was (
the outgrowth of race feeling which;
’ the negroes cherished because they
believed the Houston police treated
them unfairly. The climax
reached the afternoon of August 23
when Corporal Baltimore a negro
military policeman was beaten by a
white policeman. The word went
back to camp that Baltimore wus
killed and despite the fact that this
*was disproved the negroes were so
incensed that they went to town to
get revenge. Baltimore was among
those who were hung as a result of
the first court-martial.

Cooley the famous authority on
torts (error). This is as follows:
Freedom of Discussion.
"The freedom of the press was
undoubtedly intended to be secured
on public grounds the general pur-
pose may be said to be to preclude
those in authority from making use
of the machinery of the law to pre-
vent lull discussion of political and
other matters in which the public are
concerned. With this end in view
not only must freedom of discussion
be permitted but there must be ex-
emption afterwards from liability for
any publication made in good faith
and in the belief in its truth the
making of which if true would be
justified by the occasion. There
should consequently be freedom in
discussing in good faith the char-
acter the habits the mental and
moral qualifications of any person
presenting himself or presenting his
iriends. as a candidate for public
office either to the electors or to a
board or officer having powers of
appointment.”
Justice Fly held that these senti-
ments constitute fundamental prin-
ciples essential to the preservation
ol liberty in a democratic form of
government. Publicity he insisted
cannot be dispensed with in a gov-
ernment of the people "and any at-
tempt to throttle such publicity and
punish one who desires to faithfully
present it to the public would be a
thrust at the very heart and vitals
of popular government." Continuing
with reetrence to the case at issue
Justice Fly said:
"The very fact that he was a can-
didate made a discussion of his fit-
ness for the position he sought a
matter of public concern published
foi g/neral info^gration. If any-
thing in a democratic government
can be of public concern it un-
Goubtedly is the character fitness
and qualifications of a candidate for
office.’’
Error in Charge.
It is in connection with this that
the court declares the jury should
have been instructed as to the fact
that Judge Huntress at the time of
the publication complained of. was a
; »andidate for office anti that the
only inqury should have been as to
the* fairness and reasonableness of
mh h publication. It is pointed out
that without such charge the jury
w is justified in viewing the publica-
tion even of the court records as it
might the criticism of a private citi-
zen.
In conclusion the court pointed out
that the publication of these mat-
ters if malice were shown would
not be privileged but there was no
<>ifort to show malice closing with
tiie words "The proceedings of the
court cannot be made the excuse for
renting malice ami ill-will towards a
person even though he be a candi-
date for office.” The judgment is
then reversed and remanded.
