CHURCH PR
CLASH IMPENDING
Archbishop Tikhon, Patriarch of All Russia, Has Called
Upon His Followers to Defend the Charch; Negotia
tions Approach an Acute Stage; Peace Deliberations
Again Broken Off at Brest-Litovsk, Is Report
By Associated Press
Stockholm, Feb. 6.—General Mannerheim's forces have de
feated the Red Guards and Russians at Uleaborg and captured the
city, which is the chief military depot of Northern Finland. The
battle lasted two days and several hundred were killed during
the lighting.
A number of fugitives from the Red Guard force defeated by
the White Guard in this battle have arrived in Sweden.
Considerable stores of ammunition and artillery were accumu
lated in Uleaborg.
Bondon, Feb. C.—Tlic iicgo
tiations at Brest-Bitovsk have
been broken off tlie eorrespond
••lit at Petrograd <>r the E*
rhnnge Telegraph Company says
lie is informed.
Reports from Brest-Bitovsk in the
last few days indicated a. deadlock
had been reached on the question of '■
Fkraine. After the Ukrainian dele-1
Kates had almost completed an j
agreement with the Germans and
Austrians for a separate peace, the,
Bolsheviki sent to Brest-Bitovsk new
delegates who they said were the
real representatives of tho Ukraine.
'Hie representatives of the central (
powers, anxious to mak peace with
Ukraine and obtain food supplies
there, refused to recognize tho new
delegates, who represent the Sol
diers' and Workmen's Deputies of
Ukraine, whereas the first delega
tion was selected by the Ukrainian
rada.
This situation was considered at
the crown council in Berlin on Mon
day after which the German and
Austro-Hungarian foreign ministers
left for Brest-Litovsk.
Many Killed in Collision
A great number of persons were
killed or injured in consequence of
a collision between a train loaded
with Red Guards and a government
train sent to intercept the Red
Guard train near Kemi, Northern
Finland, according to an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Copen
hagen. The trains came together at j
lull speed, all the coaches being |
smashed.
Clash Is Impending
In Russia the situation appears
less favorable to the Bolsheviki. A
decree by the Bolsheviki government
separating state and church and
confiscating church property lia*
aroused the opposition of Arch
bishop Tiklion, the patriarch of all
Russia, who has called upon his fol
lowers to defend the eliurch. The
clash between the government and
the church is said to be approaching
an acute stage.
Tartars and Poles Arise
New military opposition to the
Bolsheviki has arisen in the Tartars
and Poles. Ensign Krylenko, com
mander-in-chief of the Bolsheviki
armies, is reported to have been ar
rested by Polish troops who cap
tured Mohilev. Tartar forces are
moving on Sepastapol, the naval
base of the Black Sea after having
captured Yalta, in the Crimea. In
Kiev the Ukrainians are reported to
have sained the upper hand.

Governor Would Include
Woman Suffrage Plank
in Republican Platform
By Associated Press
Philadelphia, Feb. 6.--—ln a mes
sage to-day to the Interstate con
ference of the National Woman's
party being held here Governor
Brumbaugh announced that he fa
vored including woman suffrage in
the platform of the Republican party
at the approaching primaries
and election.
The Governor's message read:
"The people of Pennsylvania as a
rule are conservative in matters af
fecting great social reforms, but I
am strongly convinced that they now
sense the justice of granting suffrage
to women and I favor the Repub
lican party placing in its platform in
the coming primaries and election a
clearly worded statement that will
commit the party to this important
reform.
"It is my judgment that Pennsyl
vania should not be lax or slow in
doing what the general judgment of
mankind in these wartimes concedes
to be the right thing to do, namely,
tto give women tho opportunity to
express their views upon the type of
democracy which this country should
have and which should be willing to
offer in good conscience to the other
peoples of the world."

Meets Harrisburg Friends at
Engineers' Club and Re
turns to Washington

this morning in Harrisburg and while j
he declined absolutely to discuss the
purpose of his visit, it is believed he
will be assigned by the War. Depart
ment to have charge of the big Army
supply depot construction at Middle
town.
Color is lent to this belief by rea
son of the fact that Major Gray was
the engineer in charge of the con
struction of the immense Pennsyl
vania Railroad yards at Knola for
Kerhaugh and Company, the con
tractors. That was one of the big
gest railroad jobs in the history of]
the state and he made such a splen- ]
did record there that he has been :
transferred since that time from one 1
large operation to another, always;
making a wonderful success of his]
work. He entered the service of the
Army when the war broke out anil l
friends wit'll whom he took dinner |
last evening at the Engineers' Club
were delighted to learn that he has!
been assigned to the cantonment
construction branch of the service.'
which is one of the largest and most '
important in the Army.
Advices from Washington are that!
work on the plans for the immense i
development at Middletown are so!
far advanced that the contract for!
the first unit will be let within a few '
days, while the contract for the en-1
largement of the aviation plant may
be placed at any time. Work will be
started as soon as the contractors
are chosen, no matter what the
weather conditions may be and a
time limit will be fixed in which the
buildings must be completed.
It is regarded as absolutely certain
that the expenditures here during the
next year will amount to more than
and may run to $13,-
000.000.
Major Gray, when interviewed by
a reporter at the Union Station to
day. declined to discuss the object
of his visit.

Power Plant Has Coal
Enough For 24 Hours
Announcement was made this
I morning that the Harrisburg Eight
• and Company now has on
: hand enough coal only to last until
j to-morrow afternoon. A number
of plants have come to the aid of
the corporation, and the manage
ment of the plant does not expect a

The company's coal supply lias
not been increased to the point
where danger of a shutdown has
been completely removed, however.
Owing to the fact that all the large
establishments in the city are sup
plied b.< the Harrisburg Eight and
Power Company, it is highly prob
able that the factories in the city
will co-operate with Mr. Kaltwasser's
plant to avoid a shutdown.
