Washington, Dee. 31.—What the
beginning of the new year finds at
the battle fronts is outlined by Secre-
tary liaker in his weekly renew of
military operations, issued tonight by
the ./ar department. In the west. ae
says, the British dominate the Flan-
ders plain with a great wedge into
the principal German tine of defense
at Cambral, while the French, with
their own lines unbroken, hold the
key to the Laon area through the cap-
ture of Chemin des Dames,
Italy, supported by the allies, is
holding firm while the enemy after
battering in vain for six weeks against
the defenders is busy preparing for
a renewed offensive.
Of Russia, the review merely says
that the Germans are endeavoring to
persuade that country that they are
eager to assist in restoring normal
conditions and that the German em-
bassy building at Petrogrud is being
made ready for occupancy.
Allies Heartened By America.
While the operation of American
troops on the front has been confined
to narrow limits, the secretary says
their presence has heartened the al-
lies and increased faith in final
victory.
The review, for the week ending
December 31, follows, in part:
"The military situation at the be-
ginning of the new year is as follows:
"In the west the British in the
Ypres salient occupy the high ground
of the l"asschendi'ele ridge and dom-
inate the Flanders plain.
"Their wedge in front of f'amtoai,
though blunt, has ripped a great gap
in the principal German line of do-
fonse.
"The battle for ('ambrai proved
that tlie German defensive positions
eoubl be broken and taken. Though
full advantage was not taken of the
early successes gained by the British,
nevertheless the disaster to German
arms in this battle was the most seri-
ous since the Maine.
French Holding Firmly.
"The French, by the capture of the
<'homin-Hes-Dames, have secured the
key to the I«ion area. Their own
Hue of defense remains unshaken.
"Detachments of otir own forces
have engaged the enemy. While their
operation have been confined to nar-
row limit?, the presence of American
troops in the firing line has hearten-
ed the allies to continre the struggle
with Increased faith in final victory.

changed.

SIKTION—MI CH DAMAGE
DONE TO PHOPEItlY.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Guatamala City, Dec. 31.—Earth
Shocks that began here at 11 o'clock
on Christmas night and are still con-
tinuing caused millions of dollars
damage to this city, the death of a
few persons and the Injury of about
10<V others.
Revery house in the city was ren-
dered uninhabitable and the entire
population is living in the parks and
open spaces. The ftrst shocks were
light, giving warning of the heavy
ones that might follow. In the in-
terim every one had opportunity to
seek safety in the open air.
The devastation wrought was wide-
spread. The presidential palace, the
pnstoffiee, the cathedral, all the
churches, the hospitals, the schools
and .Masonic -temple- were seriously
damaged. The electric lighting sys-
tem was put out of commission and
telegraphic and railway communica-
tion interrupted.
Tlie government is relieving the
situation by the distribution of pro-
visions. Every one is prohibited from
remaining Inside of any of the build-
ings in the city. Excellent order ha
been preserved.
Relief Is Sought.
New York, Dec. 31.—A cable mes-
sage received here today by the
hoard of foreign missions of the
Presbyterian church in North Amer-
ica. from one of its mfesionrrles in
Guatamala City read:
"Terrible quakes continue. One
hundred thonsand homeless, hundreds
suffering. Bend IJ5.000 If possible
Immediately. Missionaries safe. All
buildings wrecked. Hurry."
(AssotJiitctl Prow Dijpfttch.)
Washington, Dec. 31.—Complete
supplies of rifles within a month for
all American forces under arms were
promised today by Major General
Croaler, chief of ordnance, testifying
before the senate military committee.
Springfield* for jvery regular and na-
tional guardsman will be ready be-
fore February 1, he said and the
manufacture of remodelled Enfields
for the first national army will be
finished in a week.
As to machine guns, 4he general
said, a full supply of American make
should be ready by July 1. next.
Rifles for the next draft, he deelit ed
would be on hand before tlie men
were in camp.
Machine Gun Controversy.
General Crozier appeared particul-
arly to answer charges made by Col-
onel Isaac Lewis, inventor of the
IiCwis machine gun. He submitted a
prepared statement dealing with of-
ficial record of the war department's
dealing with the Lewis gun and then
submitted to a cross examination of
several hours dttrlnrt which many in-
teresting points were developed.
In reply to assertions made bv oth-
er witnesses that the allies had
furnished heavy guns to the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces only because
the Americans were worse off than
they, the general submitted official
documents to prove that Eng'and and
France voluntarily offered to provide
caution, their output having develop-
ed to the point where a. surplus was
being produced.
Fnahlc To Get Support.
General Crosier refused to shoulder
responsibility for the failure to equip
the army adequately with ordnance
before the.war. lie said it belonged
to the country, and cited the refusal
of the secretary of war and congress
in the past to approve "modest" ord-
nance programs.
The general vigorously defended
his course in regard to the Lewis
machine gun. He gave the commit-
tee the record of the various tests to
which the gun was put and reports
of the army experts to show that it
had not been demonstrated to he n
satisfactory weapon until April, 191®,
after which orders for them were
given by the department.
When General Crozier finished,
Senator Hitchcock who has been one
of his chief questioners, announced
that he was entirely satisfied with
the record before the war, but still
did not understand why more of the
Lewis guns were not ordered after-
ward.
Million Pounds of Powder Daily.
Among other tnings General Cro-
zier told the committee that the gov-
ernment already was building a pow-
der factory that would have a daily
capacity of a million pounds. He
denied stories of wooden guns funish-
ed men in the cantonments, explain-
ig that what had been taken for guns
were sticks for bayonet practice.
Machine guns, General Crozier said,
were never expected to become such
an important weapon, but the Ger-
mans, realizing better than any one
else their great future, proceeded to
secure them in quantity.
Turning to the charges that preju-
dice had kept the Lewis gun out of
ammunition equipment. General Cro-
zier detailed the official records of the
department.

We've tried out all the old time vows, we've made our pledges broad and deep;
We've fastened haloes on our brows, and amost been too good to keep.
And nearly all the vows we made were selfish things, and cheap and flat;
We'd put our virtue on parade, by cutting out this fault or that.
We'd cease to patronize the bars because such course would bring us wealth:
We'd cut out three-for-five cigars, because they undermined our health.
Behind our pledges always stood the selfish, egotistic thought;
Our own prosperity and good were all for which we ever wrought.
Now comes the gladsome New Year day, and chances for new vows it brings;
So let us try to get away from our own selves to bigger things.
Our Uucle Sam is in a fray, his banner's on a foreign shore:
Let's help this year, to smooth his way, as people never helped before.
There'll be a hundred urgent calls for coin—let no call be denied;
Let's go down in our overalls and dig up cash with glee and pride.
Let's keep the loyalty unspoiled we bragged of on a peaceful day;
Let's work as mortals never toiled, and earn more coin to give away.

Washington, Dec. ill.--Local draft
boards have been instructed by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder to use
"common sense and sympathy in the
facts of each Individual case" in de-
termining what would lie adequate
support for dependents of a man reg-
istered for war service.
Many boards have indicated doubt
as to what should be done when it
appears that a soldier's pay and war
risk allowances will provide support
for dependents whose claims otherwise
would entitle the registrant to deferred
classification. In a message made
public tonight General Crowder said:
"Reasonably adequate support can
not be determined by a rule of thumb
but must be determined with common
sense and sympathy In the facts of
each individual case, what would be
adequate support in one locality or in
one set of circumstances might not be
adequate support In another. The
question of adequate support must be
determined by the boards after careful
consideration of the Interests of the
dependents on the one hand and- of
the government on the other and with
thought always in mind that the pres-
ent classification scheme is designed
to raise our armies with a minimum
of hardship and suffering to those who
are to be left at home."
Instructions Given.
To clear up doubt existing on other
points General Crowder gave the fol-
lowing supplementary Instructions:
"First—sub-division A. Class four
is the residuary class\for registrants
whose wives or children are mainly
dependent on them for support, and
this applies to a widower whose own
children are mainly dependent upon
him for support.
"Second—If a registrant has both a
wife and child but there are such oth-
er sources of support available that
the removal of the registrant will not
deprive the dependents of reasonably
adequate support, he is to be placed in
sub-division A of class 2.
"Third—If a registrant has a wife
but no children and there are such
other sources of support available that
the removal of the registrant will not
deprive the wife of reasonably ade-
quate support, he goes into Class 1 as
not being included in any other Uhis ■
ion of the schedule."

Washington. Dec. 31.—Insld
lous efforts of the Hermans to In-
volve the United States and the
entente allies in the peace nego-
tiations proceeding with tho Rus-
sian Bolshevik! have developed to
such a stage that in the opinion of
some officials here notice of the
propaganda must be taken and an
attempt made to neutralise it. if
tho British and French premiers
ure to meet in Paris soon with the
purpose of discussing tho lnadvis-
abllity of receiving and answering
the proposals of the Bolsheviki to
participate in tho negotiations as
has been indicated by a leading
conservative British newspaper,
they will act in accord with the
agreement rigidly adhered to by
all the entente allies until the de-
fection of Russia not to entertain
any peace proposals from the
enemy without consultation wtlli
each other. In diplomatic circles
here today it was said that any
decision from such a meeting
would be promptly laid before
the American state department.
Alltiiiug Bail Being Held out Now.
Germany is believed to be prepared
to offer almost any conceivable halt
to an individual enemy in order to
drive a wedge into the allies and cause
its disruption, and having succeeded
measurably with Russia, is trying to
get that nation to influence her late
allies.
Humors that have existed for the
past fortnight to the effect that an-
other peace proposal was about to be
launched by the central powers either
through the Vatican or some neutral
state, are believed to have their foun-
dation in the adroit attempt of the
German negotiators to use the Russian
delegates for that purpose. But in

London, Dec. 31.—Tlie Manches-

tion of the British government
when the Austro-Oerinan terms of
peace are presented officially, to
return :i serious and seasoned re-
ply. Premier Lloyd George has
arranged to visit France, accord-
ing to the newspaper, to confer
with Premier Clemenceau on this
subject. The principal point in the
Austro-German outline of peace
terms was the acceptance of the
Russian formula of no annexations
or indemnities.

(Associated Press tllnpnteh.)
Loudon, Dec. 31.— The Times prints
a long letter from lis Petrograd cor-
respondent dated Saturday which pur-
ports to substantiate the view that the
Bolsheviki revolt was managed by
Germany and that the movement is es-
sentially anti-national and anti-Rus-
sian. The letter says:
"It is it notorious fact and has been
proved by documents in possession of
the Kcrensky government that Ger-
many commissioned Lenlne and gave
him money to go to Russia to sow dis-
affection In the Russian army."
Government By Force.
Isindon, Dec. 31.—The Holshc\iki
government is extremely efficient, en-
ergetic and decisive though faced by
noisy opposition from tho privileged
classes w ho are doing all they can to
check it by sabotage and libel, accord-
ing to the Petrogrud correspondent of
the Daily News, The correspondent
who has just returned to Petrograd
after a lengthy visit, to England, says
that tlie city is morn orderly than for
some months before the Bolsheviki
took control. The people may not like
the Bolsheviki, ho declares, but they
obey them with startling alacrity and
the government is based on real force.
The constituent assembly, the cor-
respondent hears, will meet as soon as
delegates from tlie I'kraine arrives,
perhaps in ten days, lie asserts that
whatever is the decision of the assem-
bly, as constituted at present, it will
not alter the essential direction of
Russian policy, although it might, by
weakening the government at home,
weaken It in Its dealings with tlie Ger-
main'.
Any attempt to turn out the Bol-
sheviki government by force would
result only in anarchy favorable to ilie
Germans, says the correspondent, who
does not believe that such force Is
available, lie writes enthusiastically
about Leon Trotsxky, the Bolsheviki
foreign milliner, who told him that
the war would be decided by social,
rather than military pressure. TroUky

Refugee Says at Least 1,000,000 Greeks Have Perished
Through Organized Brutality of the Turks and Teutons
(Associated Press Dispatch)
NBW YORK, Dec. 31.—At least one million
Greeks, men, women and children, have
perished as the result of organized massacres
and deportations by "the Turco-Teutons," in
Asiatic Turkey, according to a statement by
hazards George Alacrities, son of a leading
merchant of Trebizond, made public through
the Armenian and Syrian relief committee
here today. Alacrities, who recently arrived
here, says he was one of a party < 2,000
Greeks which was rescued by the Russian
fleet that bombarded the town of Ordou late
last August, and took tlie refugees aboard. He
had been taken to Ordou, he said, when the
Turks raided Trebizond and seized his father's
store along with those of other Greek mer-
chants. "Those of us who were between the
ages of 16 and fiO were drafted into the Turk-
ish army," said Alacridcs. "Our women and
children and the older men were placed tem-
porarily in homes and orphanages, until the
opportunity offered to dispose of them in the
approved Turco-Teuton fashion, which in this
instance turned out to be by wholesale drown-
ing. The unfortunate survivors of deporta-
tion were towed out for several miles into tlie
Black sea and then calmly dumped overboard
just, like so much garbage. None of them
survived. German efficiency has simply or-
ganized the natural brutality of the Turk and
made it many times more effective than ever
before. I should think that, at the most con-
servative estimate, at least one million of my
fellow country men have perished miserably
through the organized cruelty of this Turco-
Teutonic alliance. The only hope of the fu-
ture lies in America."
Two Days to Go
lenta-
th«
rhey
While 1'ete insists that he lost
Ills race by eight subscriptions he
has lost none of his enthusiasm.
"The remaining two days of the
campaign are going to bring fine
results," declared the circulation
manager last night, "because there
is a lot of interest among the
agents In our $50 cash prize, and
tlie chance to grab off $50 in ad-
dition to the liberal commission
which we arc allowing now is sure
to bring th" business Tuesday and
Wednesday."
Asked how many of the agent!
had a chance, as judged from
present standing, Pete said: "Thej
all have a chance. Some of them
are sending in a great deal more
business than others, but under the
rules of tlie contest some little fel-
low. who has not sent In much bus-
iness Is as apt to win as the more
active agent, because they are sim-
ply working to bent their OWN
record, and not the record of some
other agent. That is, the fellow
who only sent in a few subscrip-
tions the first twenty days of De-
cember, only has to get a few dur-
ing the last tea (or it's twelve days
now) to beat his former record by
a large per cent, while the agent
that was very active during the
first twenty days of December mdst-
send in a lot of business now to
win. Therefore, it is not necessari-
ly the fellow who sends in the most
business who i- going to get the
tin: therefore f say, it is any-
body's race yet. While there are
about eight of the agents pretty
well bunched now, it will only take
a few sohperiptions from some of
the olio™ to place a lot of them
in the w inning < lass."

When Pete turned in this report
last niwlit he stated that he had
lo>t his race tm- 1,500 subscribers
in forty days, by just eight sub-
scripiioiis. The manager does not
consider that, lie has lost, for two
reasons. First, the forty days limit
was not up until midnight last
night, hence mail received today
should count. And, second, when
the ninnagemeont a few days ago
announced a time extension of two
days, it was intended to give Pete
the advantage of this extension also,
but he declares he started in to get

the same.
