Tha Elka drove enthusiasm Into tha Kd Croaa drive. They mada a Joka of eeltlng- memberships, than put enthu- lun In tha new member. And thay did It all to syncopation, for there were fully flra band, half a doian glee clubs and a acora of other musical features acattered among tha crowds. It mattered not where people were, there also were the Elka, sometimes with their escort of soldiers and pretty nurses, sometimes without. Because of tha shortage of Red Croaa buttona the Elka used cardboard las; a. and Ions; be fore midnight Washington street waa a mase of tags, with their purple cords from end to end. Decidedly the Elka mada good. Tha fun began at noon when tha Flra tepartmenl made a special run to Vlxth and Alder streets, where tha fire laddies did exhibition atunta on the big extension ladder. Of course, tha crowd gathered. Who wouldn't? And none saw four details of soldiers steal around to Washington and Mxth. Broadway and Alder and other strategic points and absolutely hem tha crowd In. Then they were at the mercy of the Elka and how the Elka went through them! Just when the sun waa poking his head over the horlion. Ray Barkhursl and his squads were guarding the bridges. Before an autolst could drive across the river, ha waa enrolled Into membership. Hundreds of dollars re sulted from that campaign. t.lke Oterleet Xethlag. Who knows tha other stunts?

Yes. all In all. the Elka Red Cross drive was a most conspicuous success. Following are tha assignments made by C. T.

Only 150 more names are needed to place th blue-ribbon county In the 100 per cen class, and these have been guaranteed. In the Mountain View district ail five of the registered voters have signed up.

It Is Justified In making- a i!H I If the Uermans refuse that, the Rus cvusmer mat mi allies are the ones to blame. As the Russians are disposed In that direction. It Is eafcr to mix the Idea In their minds. At the same time It must be realised that Forele-n Minister Trotsky has fol lowed a consistent course In searchln for a general peace. Each time I have been able to cable In advance that he would make an other attempt to engage the Interest of the alllea. he haa done so. One must keep separata Trotsky's attacks on the government of the allies, because be considers them enemies of Socialism. and his dominant desire Is for a general peace. The famous telegram of Colonel An derson, head of the American Red Croaa mission to Roumania. ordering automo biles which had been purchased In America for relief work In Roumania, to be diverted to Rostoff. one of the centers of the counter revolutionary movement, has definitely planted In, T 75 7J 7 M 4 ..Y' .mtV.M- M Hit v t T1 m 4 . - j . ,- Ui . 1 'a - te ' rv " w ' i i7 - i ar fa.

Commander-in-Chief Krylenko, writing in he Prlkaze. which has been ordered ent to all the armies, particularly those In the trenches, says: "The allies eclded to ruin the Russian revolution In traitorously attacking it. We now now that American capitalists ent arena and money to Rostoff to aid Kaledlne. chief of .the Russian bour-geolse." Interior newspapers everywhere treat ha incident as If American participa tion in the Kaledlne movement were actual fact. It is "played up" along- ide Germany's apparent agreement to. emorratio peace terms, which puts Americans wrong In the average Rus sian mind, making the Germans ap pean more democratic than the Amer icans. The nationalization of all private banks hits the German the hardest, as the banks are mostly theirs, and the control of capital, while paralyzing commerce, 'makes It impossible for them to purchase heavily of German reserve stocks of manufactured arti cles, some of which, however, are en tering the country. This bank project Is Lentne's, who is consistent In attacking the interests of capitalists of the central powers, as well as of the allies. Bill Desmond Is so proud of his Irish ancestry that he has a harp and sham rock as part of the monogram on his automobile. Teutons Believed to Be Seeking to Drive Wedge Into Entente Co alition So as to Detach One of Belligerents! WASHINGTON', Dec. 31. The Insldl ous efforts of Germans to Involve the United States and the entente allies the peace negotiation proceedings with the Russian Bolshevik! have de veloped to such a stage that In the opinion of some officials here notice of the propaganda must be taken and an attempt made to neutralize it. If the British and French Premiers are to meet in Farls aoon with tne purpose of discussing the advisability of receiving and answering tne pro posals of the Bolshevlki to participate in the negotiations, aa has been report ed by a leading conservative British newspaper, they will act in accord with the agreement rigidly adhered to by all the entente allies until the defec tion of Russia, not to entertain any peace proposals from the enemy with out consultation with each other. In diplomatic circles here today it was said that any decision from such a meeting would be promptly laid be fore the American State Department Germany Appears Deaperate. Germany Is believed to be prepared to offer almost any conceivable bait to an individual enemy in order to drive a wedge' into the alliej and cause their disruption, and, having succeeded measurably with Russia, is trying to get that nation to influence her late allies. Rumors 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 founda tion in the adroit attempt of the Ger- S. Schnitzer. H. J. Wolf. K A A L A JUNK CO.

Hans See End Is Near. General staff officers here are un derstood to attach great significance to the present attempt of the Central Powers to force the entente powers into peace negotiations. To their mind It' Is clear indication that the German military leaders have now accom plished all that they feel capable of doing In the, field. They can "hold on" for a long time yet. It is suggested, but they cannot extend fields of occu pation without an enormous loss of men and time at tha risk of a terrible defeat. Youth Held as Moonshiner. VANCOUVER, Wash., Dec. 31. (Spe- ial.) Paul Ohlendorf, 29 years old and registered for military duty, is being held In the County Jail charged with making intoxicating liquor. Thirteen bottles of home-made beer were found in his home and were confiscated. Be ing unable to furnish $500 bail Mr. Ohlendorf Is being held in the county jail. He had a small but ingenious still and could have made not to exceed a quart of whisky in 24 hours. It is said. PHEASANT WOOER TRAPPED Fine Silver Specimen Captured While Visiting; at Zoo.
