ASH COLLECTION BIDS STILL HIGH [Continued from First Page.] district for sixty-two months at the rate of $1,700 a month. Should Do Work Mayor Keister went on record to- j day favoring removal of ashes at the 1 cost of the city, by saying; "Re- j gardless of what the bids are for; ash collections, the city should do i this work. If the proposals are tool high, some other plan must be work- ] ed out. The general cleanup of all j the streets and parks must be made also, and I think this should be un der the direction of the Highway De partment and paiil for out of the general fund at tirst, the total ex pense then to be charged to the bonding company which furnished surety for the Pennsylvania Reduc tion Company. We have the check i for $2,625 for the reduction firm, I too, and could use that money toward j the clean-up expense." Commissioner Hassler, after he had opened the bids at noon to-day, said; "I will submit the proposals to Council to-morrow and prohablyy will make a recommendation for awarding a contract. If the Com missioners decide the price is too high, a monthly cleanup will be about the ony recourse. The ashes must be removed by the city in some manner, preferably by contract." Insists on Removal Commissioner Burtnett also declared | that he would insist on some provi- j sion being made for asli collections i by the city, either by contract or by monthy cleanups. He said the piles of ashes in the city streets, parks j and vacant lots should be cleared away now, and if no contract is let for the collection work another cleanup should be made early in the summer. Commissioner Gross joined with the other members of Council in fa voring removal of ashes and refuse at the city's expense, but said the monthly clean-up plan should only be adopted after other efforts to pro vide for the work had failed. Commissioner Lynch said he would object to awarding a contract for ash collections If the bids were much higher than tho amount of money appropriated for the work, and, while he favored the removal of the ashes piled In the streets In the out -1; ing districts, he declared he would oppose payment of almost prohibitive prices for regular collections.

THE RED CROSS f. .f /jj I , , I Forty-three persons were rescued from the Red Cross liner Florizel according to dispatches to-day. The vesesl was pounded to pieces on the rocks near Capo Race, yesterday. When the vessel foundered, 146?ersor*s were on board. 43 ARE SAVED INnAWFUL STORM [Continued from First Page.] sea had not sufficiently .subsided to allow the launching of boats before daylight. When naval gunners had shot a line from .the shore across tho bow of the Florlzel as she lay submerged from her funnel aft and saw no attempt on the ship to make the line fast, it was believed all those on board were dead. AbotU midnight, however, watchers reported lights had been seen in the wireless room and the forecastle, showing some persons still were alive. Uater came the message from the Prospero re porting she was alongside the Flor lzel and expected soon to take otT the survivors. The report added that there names would be sent as soon as possible. Forced Against Blizzurd Forcing his ship' against a blizzard in which blinding snow was driven by 'wind often reaching hurricane proportions, the FlorizePs comman der, Captain W. J. Martin, yosteafuy morning sought to round Cape Race 011 his voyage from here to Halifax and New York. Apparently, however, he mis judged his position, for the Florizel rushed on the jagged rocks of Broad Cove on the east side of the island, north of the cape. The region Is uninhabited and means o£ rescue were not available. one wireless message said the steamer was rapid ly breaking up, and nothing more was heard until rescue parties reached the scene. These reported boats could not be used and ex pressed doubt if any on board could be saved. Through the day reports came that the ship was going to pieces and that her after decks were submerged. Has Hone Good Service The Florlzel, queen of the New Foundland boats, was owned by the New York, New Foundland and Halifax Steamship Company, known us the Red Cross line. Built in 1909 at Glasgow, with sloping sheathed bow reinforced by concrete, she had been used in the sealing trade and this winter had done heroic service as an ice breaker in New York har bor. Among the passengers who em barked at St. Johns were John Shan non Munn, managing director of the line, and his 3-year-old daughter, six cadets of the Royal Flying Corps, Major Michael Sullivan, commander of the New Foundland Foiestry Bat talion, and a number of prominent New Foundland businessmen. Fra n tie Efforts to l.<iirn Names Frantic efforts were made by rela tives of the passengers aboard the Florizel to learn the names of those picked up by the Prospero. The tirst message from that vessel stat ing at least forty persons were wait ing to be rescued held out hope that others might be saved, and the Prospero's commander was directed by the minister of shipping to send the names at the earliest possible moment Although the sea to-day was not as rough as it was when the steamer struck on the rocks, reports indicated rescue work was extremely danger ous. The Florizel's wireless was wrecked lires were out, and the ship, helpless and at the mercy of the waves offered little protection against the cold and fury of the elements. l/ist in Small Boats Many of those lost yesterday had attempted to reach shore in small boats, which were tossed about and swamped. Reports last night ac counted for seven bodies washed ashore. Minister Crosbie said it would be impossible to give the correct num ber of the dead until he had received definite reports from the Prospero and other relief ships. All told there were 146 persons aboard the Florizel when the vessel sailed from here Saturday night. There were 77 passengers, including twelve women and four children, and 09 officers and men in the crew. A message from the Prospero early to-day said that twenty-two survivors had been taken off the disabled ship, with probably twenty others still aboard. On this basis, taking into consideration the seven bodies washed ashore last night, government authorities stated that if the figures as sent by the Prospero were correct, the death list stood at 97, provided all reported aboard the Florizel were saved. They declined, however, to announce this as the official estimate of the number of dead. Real Food Crisis Is Now Here Thla country inmit senil 7.1,000,- (HHI liuMhelH of wheat to our Allim liy Muy 1.

RUSSIA WILLING TO ACCEPT TERMS (Continued from First Page.] many, as a icsult of the Bolshevik attempt to wage war, increased her terms in the last peace ultimatum, which virtually cuts off from Rus sian domination all western territory added to Great Russia since the time of Peter the Great. Advance Unhampered Except in Livonia and Ksthonia. where small detachments made slight resistance, the Germans are pro gressing unhampered along the en tire line from the Gulf of Finland to the Ukraine. In the north they are approaching Reval, the naval base, and in tho south Minsk is forty-live miles behind the invading troops. The Bolshevik commander, Ensign Krylenko, has asked the German staff if Russia's acceptance of peace terms does not revive the armistice broken about a week ago. The Allied ambassadors, following a conference at the American embas sy. determined to remain in Petro tfrad pending: developments. German reports say the internal situation in Uussia is most serious. Acceptance of German Peace Terms Followed Stormy Russ Meeting Petrograd, Sunday, Feb. 24. —Ac- ceptance by tlie Bolshevik govern ment of the German peace terms followed a stormy argumentative night meeting at the Smolny Insti tute. Leon Trotsky, the Bolsheviki foreign minister, did not attend but Premier Lenine urged acceptance of the terms and the Bolshveiki dele gates voting virtually as a unit swung the tide with him. A Bolshevik party conference had previously voted 72 for peace and 20 against, with 12 abstaining. The Social Revolutionary members fought against acceptance of the terms and insisted upon the as sembling immediately of a new con stituent assembly to pass upon them in their final form. The Bolshevik newspaper Pravda says the peace terms are unfortunate but unavoidable. It says the struggle is more imperialistic than domestic and that the Hussian proletariat is not responsible for the harsh terms. The bourgeosie newspapers do not comment on the situation. Russia Will Be in Bondage . to Germany, Says Martoff Hy Associated Press Petrograd, Sunday, Kerb. 25. "Their knees are on our chest and our position is hopeless," declared Nikolai Lenine, the Bolsheviki Pre mier, in the course of his long speech to the Central Kxecutive Committee of the All-Hussian Coun cil of Workmen's and Soldiers' Del egates in which he insistently urged the acceptance of the Austro-Ger man peace conditions, however, op pressive and unfortunate' they might appear. "This peace must be accepted as a respite," he continued, "enabling us to prepare a decisive resistance to the Bourgeoise and Imperialism. The proletariat of the whole world will come to our aid. Then we shall renew the fighting." M. Martoff contended the pro posed peace meant the end of Rus sia so far as her political independ ence was concernen and that the day after the signing of the peace the Soldiers' and Workmen's gov ernment would be in bondage to Germany. M. Zinovieflf, supporting Lenine, insisted the Soviet authority was too firmly established throughout the country to perish.
