Prtroerad. Jan. 21. The crisis be-
t tvew the Bolsheviki and the Conserve'
Hie Liberals was at nana toaay.
Dissolution of the constituent assem
bly, effected by the Trotsky-Lcnine gov-
emment, has brought to a climax the
violent opposition of tno social revolu
tionary party. The Bolsheviki leaders

tera dramatic in their intensity. Armed
inilors poured into the hall and were
rnivcd in croups in the aisles. Their
rommandcr demanded that L.nernotr,

He hall. Ohornoff flatly refused. A hcat-
arsument ensued. Witnesses today
lDbted it was only intervention of the
Bolsheviki delegates themselves that
laved their political' opponents from vio
lence at the hands of the Bolsehvikl
'roops.
Russia Declared Republic
The final act of the assembly was tho
formal proclamation of Russia as a dem
ocratic republic. The speech of former
Minister Tserotelli was dramatic. He
a constantly interrupted and often
rith violent abuse. His concluding pero
ntion was a pathetic appeal to all that
tie revolution be permitted to bear fruit
In the formation of a government which
would show a solid front of all msies of
Hie revolntionary democracy.
The Bolsheviki and Social revolutlon-
ities of the Left, together with others
rto favor a Pan-Russian workmen, sol
iiers' and Peasants' congress to take
tbe place of -the constituent assembly,

son tonight denounced Senator Chamber-
Iain's Saturday night condemnation of
the governmental structure as "astonish
ingly and absolutely unjustifiable distor
tion of the truth."
Chamberlain attacked the war admin
istration during a speech in New York.
"As a matter of fnct," the president
said, "the war department has performed
a task of unparalleled magnitude and dif
ficulty with promptness and efficiency.''
Cunmborliiin's bills creating a cabinet
wur council and a director of munitions
were also the subject of unfavorable
comment by tbe president, who declared
that the present organizations are suf
ficient for the prosecution of the war.
The president, however, said that the re
organized war body could handle its
work more effectively if the congress, by
legislation, would eliminate the red tape
that hampers operations.
'The legislative proposals I have heard
of," tho president said, "would involve
long additional delay and turn our ex
perience into mere lost motion."
The president paid high tribute to
Secretary of War Baker and excused
"delays and disappointments and partial
miscarriages of plans" on the ground
that there has been no repetition of such
errors.
The president said these delays were
magnified and exaggerated by congress
ional investigations. He attached no im
portance to the senator's declaration that
there is inefficiency in every government

Washington, Jan. 21. Senator Stone,
Missouri, today denounced Theodore
Roosevelt on the floor of the senate
as "the most potent agent of the kaiser
and the most seditious man of conse'
(jiience in America."
In a speech bristling with scathing de
nuDciation of those who are "making
polities out of the war," Stone demand
ed that the same rule be applied to
Roosevelt's writings end utterances as
were applied in the case of a private
citizen Stone names, who, "repeated in
a minor degree" what ' Roosevelt had
written. This man was arrested.
Quoting liberally- from Roosevelt's
published criticisms of the Wilson ad
ministration's conduct of the war, Stone
said: '
"The heart of this man is aflame with
ambition and he runs amuck. On my
responsibility as a senator, I charge
that since our entrance into the war,
Roosevelt has been a menace and an
obstruction to the successful prosecu
tion of the war. His ehief thought has
not been to help the government solve
the mighty problems they have to solve,
but always his chief thought has been
of Roosevelt.
"I inquire why Roosevelt may say
thina with impunity which a citizen
of less consequence dare not even re'
peat without danger .of indictment for
disloyalty?"
Traveling Salesman Jailed,
' Stone then told how a traveling sales-
map was taken from a train entering
St. . Louis last December and put in jail
because he said:
"Wilsor kept us out' of war? Like
hell ho did. It's a.ohame the way our
soldiers are being treated in the con
centration vamps. , They are not prop
erly clothed and .the sanitary arrange'
mcnts aTe poor. Hoover's sugar tlan
is a t 'g joke, too.
This. Stone said, was only repeating
what Rocsevelt had written editorially
in the Kansas City Star. Stone quoted
an editorial from the Toledo News-Bee
and .mother from the Kansas City Post,
charging Roosevelt with seeking to fur
ther bis own political ambitions, under
"patriotic camouflage."
."Of all men, Roosevelt is most re
rponslble for what he denounced," said
Stone.
"He does his work cunningly. In the
front of his propaganda he throws
deceptive political camouflage. I charge
that Theodore Roosevelt, whether will'
ingly or out of sheer madness, I do not
know, is the most potent agent toe
kiW has in America. I cannot escape
the belief that this exceptional colonel,
who has played so msny games of ques
tionable politics, ia now playing an
other game of his particular brand for a
very great stake."
Making Polities of War.
Stone's BDeech was directed primar
ily, he effld, at the republicans, -in ana
out of congress," acting in manifest con
tort to "make politics out of the war."
"There is no need for us to be over-
fnstidious about this, or to try to fool
ourselves, or fool the country. There
la to be an election next fall. A new
house of representatives and one-tnira
nt tho nitnate are to be chosen. Two

RIG SUM NEEDED
Word from Brest-Litovsk, received via
Berlin today, gave this first news of a
breach among the Russians. The agree
ment between Germany and the infant
Ukrainia republic was concluded Sunday.
Previous word had stated that all-Russian
delegaets had departed from Brest-
Litovsk and this had been supposed to
include the Ukrainians.
Today's despatches declared that the
basis of the separate peace treaty had
been agreed upon and that all that was
necessary now was "for each aide to con
sult responsible authorities at home."
The German semi-official' despatches
sold that the Ukrainian conference had
adjourned but the delegates would re
turn immediately and conclude all nego
tiations, including signature of the
treaty. -." .
Berlin's comment on this achievement
was:-
'Thus, we have succeeded, for the first
time in this war, of finding a basis for
tbe re-establishing ot,a state ,of peace.
Decision by tne Ukrainians to maxe a
seperate peace and not to act in concert
with the Bolsheviki delegates represent'
ing Russia at large, will undoubtedly be
heavy blow- to the Bolsheviki hopes.
Tbe fact that Ukrainian delegates above
all others should be wiling to conclude
such an agreement, when part of their
territory is included in tbe land whose
future is under dispute, is significant
The general Russian delegates refused
to accept the German offer to let inhabl
tents of Oonrland, Poland and Lithuania
decide their determination in the future
while under supervision of the German
army, which would not be withdrawn.
Foreign ' Minister Trotsky had previ
ously stated he could not allow the
Ukrainian delegates to treat the qaes
rlon of occupied territory independently.
They have apparently gone exactly
counter to his wishes.

Heavier Steel Is Being
Laid North of Eugene
BY ROBERT J. BENDER,
United Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Jan. 21. America's first
"heatless holiday" found the national
railroad fighting scro weather, snows
snd freight jams to reach the seaboard
with coal.
Business except food and drugstores,
shivered behind closed doors and great
industries continued idle through their
fourth day of suspension, to facilitate
coal shipments. By special requests of
Fuel Administrator Garfield last night,
department stores and retail establish
ments throughout the east today not only
are not burnling cool, but they are clos
ed. Elevators in office buildings are sup
posed to run only for those oxempted.
But, despite the general close down of
business, the government ia having a vio
lent fight to keep coal moving. At both
northern and southern ports loading of
vessels is continuing on a twenty-four
hour schedule.
Priority Order to Continue.
It is now believed certain that drastic
measures to continue coal movements af
ter the present five-day suspension order
ends tomorrow night, will have to be re
voked. Officials state that priority orders
now in effect will be continued after to
morrow unless there is a marked rise in
temperature throughout the east, making
transportation easier. This would mean
that after tomorrow night only such Mi
nistries as have coal on hand could op
erate, ' aside from the vital war works
now exempted from Garfield's regulations.
Pressure is -being brought to bear on
Director-General McAdoo to declare an
embargo on shipment of all non-essential
freight until the tracks and seaboard
ore dosed. It is stated that with rails
jammed by delayed freight shipments,
coal traffic to ports and consumers and
movement of empties back to the mines
will continue blocked despite the close
down of business and trade.'
Hope for Warmer Weather.
Garfield said today that he expected
the next 48 hours to show the real re
sults of bis recent order. Both Garfield
and McAdoo are hoping for warmer wea
ther .throughout the east and south.
The best showing thus far has been
made at southern Atlantic ports where
107,700 tons of bunker coal has been
delivered and is ready for loading with
200,000 more tons en route. At one port
more than 36,000 tons were delivered
over Sunday.
Northern Atlantic ports are expecting
150,000 tons during the next few days
and a 24-hour loading schedule will be
continued during the period of industrial
suspension in the east.
Deep snows, sero temperatures and
promise of only slightly warmer weather
nine in reports to the fuel and railroad
administrations as a discouraging factor
in movement of trains during the next 48
hours.
"Industrial America has done her part
It's now up to the weather and tbe
national railroad," it was stated at tbe
fuel administration. All energies are cen
tralised on the tremendous transporta
tion orobtem. To learn what are the ex
set results of the Garfield order, the
senate Interstate commerce committee
today summoned Director-General Mc
Adoo to reappear on tbe stand. Com
mittee members promise s complete air'
ins of tho present transportation crisis,
which McAdoo admitted Saturday had
been little relieved since control went
into effect It is the claim of many that
McAdoo sought to relieve the freight
jam by shutting industries Instead of
usins a more direct route placing on
embargo on noa-essentlals in freight
shipments, advocated by tbe fuel admin
titration.
Now officials say that the close-down
order will result in only moderate re
lief from the coal tleup and the embargo
will be necessary, in addition five days
later. '
