'MtTROGRAD, Dec. 3. The American
Attache, Major Kerth. upon in-
l Irom Ambassador Francis has
i protest on the part of the United
1 1 Millar to that entered by the
i Of, the Entente embassies here to
i negotiations for an armistice be
lt, xmm aw ucnnan-, a lie umis-
lMPlMelRefHerni oy the
!1m4 rniniKturt 'wan due to the
fact that 'It was based on the London
agreement analnsjt a separate peace, to
wnicn America is not a signatory.
Ambassador Francis, however, has as
sumed the attitude that all aid that
America has extended to Russia and
all recommendations to that end by him
were made with the express under
standing, often reiterated, thnt Ru;sta
Intended to continue In tho war, and
that, therefore, he believed himself Jus
tified In the absence of Instructions from
the. State Department at Washington,
to enter a protest against the Inde.
pendent action of Russia In the matter
of an armistice.
Tho terminology of tho protest entered
by Major Kerth Is unknown, but It Is be
lieved to follow tho lines or tho Khtcnte
protest.
The chief of tho American military
mission hero has Informed .the general
staff that while no official Information
has reached tho American embassy with
regard to the prohibition on vessels
about to sail for Russia, as reported In
the press, and the detention of goodt to
tho aluo of $335,000,000 ready for ship
ment, pending the formation of a firmly
established government, such a report In
Ills opinion and that of the ambassador
reprct.cnts exactly the point of view of
theAtnerlcan Government.
General Berthelot. chief of the French
military mission to Humanla, has In
formed General Stcherbacheff that lie
has received a communication .from
flcmenceau stating that France does
not recognize the prevent Government
commissioners and that the French pub.
He Is convinced of tho patriotism of the
Husslan people.
The chief command trusts he will
categorically reject nil criminal pour
parlers and maintain the nuiilan tinny
face to faco with tho common foe. France
will decline to recognize a Government
capable of making terms with an enemy.
"Tho Russian parliamentarians de
cided to appoint as the placo the Junc
tion of the Dvlnsk-VIIna line, whence
the Russian represenatlves will be con
ducted to the Urest-I.ltovsk headquar
ter of the German commander, The
time appointed Is midday on November
l!l (Russian calendar, or December I.
new calendar). At the namo time we
were Informed that no firing would oc
cur unless prompted and that enemy
fraternization would bo stopped. We
were blindfolded again and conducted
to our lines."
Fnsign Krylrnko lias Issued an order
to the army and fleet, saying that arm
istice negotiations would open on De
cember -. threatening dissidents with a
revolutionary court-martial, ordering all
firing to ce.it.e and fraternization begun
on all fronts to stop. The order says:
"Great lgllance Is necessary regarding
the enemy. No military operations
should bo undertaken except In reply
to those of the enemy."
Maria Splrldnnova presided at the first
sitting of the peasant Congress, the llol
shcvlkl being nervous about the peasants
meeting at army headquarters as origi
nally planned. The attitude of Tcher
noff Is being watched with great Inter
est, owing to his influence with the
peasants.
The British proposal to establish a
Jewish State In Palestine lias been re
ceived' with enthusiasm by the Hebrew
element In Russia.

PAUIP, Dec 3.
The Allied councils have decided to
postpone temporarily the restatement of
war alms suggested by America.
Influence back of the decision, which
became known today, after the first
highly successful meeting of the supreme
war council, were not specified
It was believed, however, that for
the Immediate present, delegates to both
the Inter-Allied and tho supreme vvir
council meetings have agreed that a
close-knit plan of "war business" should
be decided on, leaving to future meetings
of the council the details of other cor
related subjects.
Ambassador Mnklakoff, whom Keren
sky appointed envoy to Paris nnd who
sat with the Inler-Allled Council n
Russia's unotllclal representative, n.
though disavowed by the llolshcvikl,
urged the allied statesmen lc m.iho such

war alma discussion was postponed.

Facts About the Sugar Situation
Our Government has asked you to use sugar spar
ingly. We believe that the people of this country
will be glad to do their part to conserve the sugar
supply when they know the facts.
These facts are as follows:
More than two-thirds of the source of Europe's
sugar supply is within the present battle lines. This
has resulted in greatly reducing the production of
sugar in Europe.
England and France and other countries have been
forced to go for sugar to Cuba.
Ordinarily, nearly all of the Cuban raw sugar comes
to the United States and is refined here, chiefly for
home use. This is not the case now.
In view of the exceptional world demand for sugar
there is no surplus, and barely enough to tide us over
until the new crop comes in. The people of the New
England and. Atlantic Coast States should use sugar
sparingly. No one should hoard or waste it.
This Company has no surplus sugar to sell. It is
working with the Government to conserve the supply,
and to take care of the Allies so far as possible.
Do not pay an increased retail price.
