From llio proclamation eprend among
the soldiers of tlio Hod nrmy nu thn
Nnrvn front, it may bo inferred that
recent strong nttneks were undertaken
to break the military power of Estlionla
and punish the bandits of the White
Ilithonlnn government. All of these
circumstances make tn suspicious of the
real sentiment toward peace of the
Soviet Hussion government."
Observers offered the opinion that if
the conference was postponed it would I
mean tho definito breaking up of the
pourparlers. This belief is inspired by i

Reran, Dec. IS. Advices received
by the Ukrainian mission here concern
ing progress of the forces of General
I'etlura against tho nrmy of General
DcnlMne, the unti-Bolshovik leader in
South Russia, strengthen tho belief
among members of tlie mission that .
Denikine's situation is almost hopeless.
Thn report says that ofter Deni
kine's breakdown, Trotsky, the llol
shevik minister of war, intends to spring
an offensive against Poland, and that
for this purpose he reckons on aid
from German volunteer detachments and
new Chinese nrmv which is being ic-
trulted in eastern Siberia.

Dorpat, Dec. 10 (delayed). (By A.
P.) M. Poska, the Ksthonlan foreign
minister, in a statement directed today
to the conference of tho Baltic states,
said:
"In view of the statement of M.
.Toffo, the Bolshevist representative, on
December 10. and considering firt, that
the soviet Russian delegation declared
itself unable to decide the biggest part
of the proposals of the IMhonian dele
gation, nnd. second,, as it is unknown
when the soviet Russian delegation will
obtain the necessary power to continue
pourparlers in such a manner as would
make unnecessary lengthy postponement
of n decision on questions, including
such a fundamental issue as frontiers,
tho Esthonlan delegation proposes to
postpono the general meetings until
January 0, nnd meanwhile to continue
committee meetings.
"The Esthonlan delegation doubts the
possibility of peace and is suspicious of
the real sentiment toward penco of the
soviet Russian Government.
"The present pourparlers were be
gun at the invitation of the soviet Rus
sian Government to negotiate an ar
mistice, but the point ot view of the
hoviet Russian delegation toward mi
armistice has changed and this govern
ment now appears" to want peace. Hoi
tillties, however, have not censed, iiuil
it is a fact that wartnic is continuing on
a more violent scale than ever.
"Jt is difficult to believe the declara
tion of the Soviet Russian government
lliot the attacks of the Red army are
made only against the army of General

Here's a new Christmas suggestion for the
man who enjoys a really good cigar
Give him the Corona size of El Producto, in
the new and handsome can packing. Corona
is one of the most popular of all El Producto
sizes ; and the can packing is much in favor how.
You're always safe in sending El Producto
its mild, mellow blend of rich Havana gives
it a distinctive character that men invariably
prefer.
Any good store that sells cigars carries El Producto in
many sizes. The Corona retails at 15c. straight; other
sizes sell at from 10 to 25 cents.
