French Railroads Reduce Rates
for Large Families. The French
Chamber of Deputies, according to a
Paris report, on Wednesday of last
week passed a bill by which it is
provided that families having four
or more children will enjoy special
privileges as to railroad fares.
Those traveling third class will be
given reductions In rates amounting
lo thirty per cent, to families having
four children, forty pvr cent, to those
having five children, and fitly pel
cent, to those having six or more
children.
armistice provided that it take effect
on January 3, and that it may be
terminated by either side on twenty
four hours' notice.
Armistice Signwd by Ksthonia and
Russia. A dispatch from Dorpat,
Ksthonia, states that on December
31, the first step toward peace be
tween Soviet Russia and Esthonia
was taken by the singing of a tem-
the trail of the third, which had been
wounded. McLane and Cribble
joined the pursuing party and when
the wounded deer was jumped"
again, helped in trying to down him,
but without avail. Col. Cribble was
sure he could kill it with his number
fives if he could only get a fair shot.
Time and again the crowd "cut
down" on the deer and each time all
thought that he was a "dead one"
but not until the colonel finally got
a fair shot was his deership finally
downed. The question of who kill
ed the fleer is a much debated one
and seems to be about as hard to
so've as to decide who killed cock
robin, but evidence in-the case seems
to point to the colonel as the man
who fired the fatal shot. , Altogether
17 shots were fired at the one deer
and it is thought that nearly all
took effect. Rose's slow trail dog
was responsible for the success of
the trip and Rose carried off the
honors as a riflv expert, hitting three

British Forces in India Have

Dispatches coming from India, via

and 20 show recent heavy fighting be
tween revolting tribesmen and the

Denikin's Army Being Steadly
Driven Back by Bolsheviki. The
position of the anti-Bolshevik leader
in South Russia, Ceneral Denikin, is
rapidly becoming extremely critical
and, with the utter collapse of tire
Kolrliak forces in Siberia, and the re
lease by the armistice, for use In
South Russia, of the Soviet forces
which have lately been occupied in
the activities on the Ksthonian bor
der, it now seems unlikely that Gen
eral Denikin will be aide to defer
final defeat for more than a few
weeks or perhaps but a few days.
Latest reports indicate that his
forces are retreating on all fronts
and that the Russian Soviet army is
in hot pursuit. By a recent sudden
concentration of forces against Deni
kin's center an important victory
was secured by the Bolsheviki, and
they are now exploiting their advan
tage to the fullest possible extent.
There is also said to be another
threatening situation in Transcaspia
where the Bolsheviki claim that they
hace occupied Djeb-el station. More
over, Red reinforcements continue to
arrive in the Nerv region of Trans
caspia, thus seriously menancing the
borders of Persia and Afghanistan
and rutting off the retreat of Deni
kin's army in that direction.
A Word to Disabled Soldiers
Every man who was in the military
or naval service of the United States
during the late war, and who on ac
count of such service is not physical
ly fitted to engage at once in a gain
ful occupation should at once notify
the fiureau of War Risk Insurance in
Washington, D. C.
Under the law this Bureau is
charged with providing for service
men discharged because of disability
Incurred in active service in the line
of duty, compensation and free med
ical treatment until such time as they
are restored lo physical fitness.
i During the summer of 1918 there
was a general combing out of the
military camps of the country in an
effort to bring up the standard of
physical fitness, and many men dis
charged at that time may be un
aware of their rights under an act of
Congress to compensation for disab
ility and medical attention and hos
pital treatment where necessary.
All cases of this or a like nature
should be brought to the atention of
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance.
The live stock business cannot be
gone into and discontinued at each
wave of high or low prices. The man
who goes into the industry must
make it a permanent and continuous
affair, and maintain good breeds and
equipment.
