f the red army and the red

In these few fierce weeks of
fighting In the arctic circle."
- Even as Churchill spoke, fur
ther evidence of Britain's prepa
ration for intensification of the
conflict came in an authoritative
announcement that men 23 years
Of age would be called upon to
register for military service the
aecond or third week in February.
These, it was said, probably
would be pressed into action
earlier than younger groups al
ready called to the colors.
The first week of government
comtrol of butchering preparatory
to meat rationing throughout
Britain brought reports of a
scarcity of meat.
The British air force boasted
of new reconnaissance flights over
northwest Germany.
Five sailors were reported miss
ing after the British ship Mile
End sank in a collision with a
trawler.
Survivors of the 6873-ton
Swedish ship Pajala, sunk off the
Hebrides by a submarine, said
the raider had been fired on by
a British warship. They believed
one of the shells had struck
its mark. The warship picked up
the Pajala's captain and crew of
35.
Gotham to Enjoy
Coal Fires Again
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-P)-A
compromise proposal by'Mayor
LaGuardia today ended the coal
strike-lockout which had virtual
ly paralyzed this shivering city's
coal deliveries for the last four
days.
The end of the dispute came as
New York was gripped in the cold
est spell of the winter, the mer
cury tumbling to 9 degrees above
zero this morning and staying in
that vicinity all day.
Negotiators accepted the propo
sal a 75-cent-a-day increase in
coal truck drivers' wages only
after LaGuardia had obliquely
threatened to lock them in the
city hall until they reached a set
tlement. The settlement was sub
ject to the formality of union acceptance.

Browder to Shun
Self-Testifying
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-;p)-George
Gordon Battle, counsel for
Earl Browder, general secretary
of the communist party in the
United States, announced tonight
that he would call no witnesses
when Browder's trial on charges
of using a passport obtained by
fraud resumes Monday.
The government rested its case
against Browder at the week-end
adjournment yesterday.
Battle's announcement ended
widespread speculation as to whe
ther Browder, the active head of
his party, would take the stand
in his own defense. Under cross
examination, technically to deter
mine his credibility and motives,
he could have been subjected to
broad questioning on his political
for France June 14, 1917. He and personal activities.

home at Florence, Italy, where he
will make his headquarters.
Apparently noting Mr. Roose
velt's statement that no spiritual
or civil leader could move for
ward at this time "on a specific
plan" to terminate existing wars
but the time for that would sure
ly come, His Holiness said:
"We are fully aware of how
stubborn the obstacles are that
stand in the way of attaining this
(peace) goal, and how they be
come daily more difficult to sur
mount. "And if the friends of peace do
not wish their labors to be in vain,
they should visualize distinctly the
seriousness of these obstacles, and
the consequent slight probability
of immediate success so long as
the present state of the opposing
forces remains essentially un
changed." The pope said he had been
"deeply moved" by the message
from the president, whom he
called at one point the "chief mag
istrate of the great North Ameri
can federation."

and Denmark each one. Of the
nations involved in the two Euro

A revised recapitulation showed
313 vessels of more than 1,136,
907 tons sent to the bottom since
the start of the conflict and at
least 2773 persons killed or

the week was Britain's announce
ment that she had lost about
$3,000,000 worth of submarines
the Starfish, Seahorse and Un
dine and the lives of possibly
78 seamen.
Other developments:
Britain extended her censor
ship on mails aboard US ships
to the clipper ships stopping at
Bermuda.
British and South American
naval officials admitted the exist
ence of a German mystery ship,
which has been accompanying
nazi pocket battleships as a float

ably reached a German port with
300 seamen captured by the
scuttled Graf Spee.
