NUMBER 157.
USSIANS COMING BACK
London, Dec. 9.—-A proclamation to
e Russian Nation has been isBued by j
e Russian Government announcing j
i t "Kaledines and Korniloff, assist- j
I by the Imperialists and Constitu- j
Mini Democratic, ha\e rzised a revolt
id declared war in the Don region
rainst the people and revolution."
The proclamation adds that "the
onstitutional Democrats and bour-
eoise are supplying the revolting
enerals with scores o^ millions.
"The Workmen and Soldiers' dele-
ates have ordered the necessary
lovements of troops against the
:>unter-revolution and issued decrees
uthorizing the local revolutionary
arrisons to attack the enemies of the
eople without awaiting orders from
he supreme authorities and forbid-
uig any attempts at mediation."
General Kaledines, the Cossack lead-
er, is at Novo Tcheraksk, apparently
iwaiting events, according to reports
lublished by the Petrograd newspaper
)yen.
"In soldiers' and workmen's quar-
ers," continues the dispatch, "the
>pinion is held that General Koledines
las prepared for an armed demonstra-
;ion. The Government is taking the
nost vigorous measures to repel him."
The long expected civil warfare in
Russia apparently has come. General
Kaledines, who, supported by General
Korniloff, former commander in chief
of the Russian forces, is declared in
the official communication issued by
the Bolsheviki Government to have
raised the standard of revolt in the
Don Cossack region against the people
and the revolution, is leader of the
Don Cossacks.
As a counter to the movement, the
Bolsheviki Government has ordered its
troops and followers immediately to
set to work to put down the uprising,
ONLY ONE TON OF COAL
W. C. Weir, of the local fuel ad-
ministrator board, received instruc-
tions today to caution local dealers in
coal that they must not sell more than
one ton to any one person at one
time. Mr. Weir has taken the matter
up with the dealers, and all of them
! have expressed a willingness to com-
! ply with the request, and to do every-
| thing possible to co-operate with the
| Fuel Administrators in conserving
coal-
Mr. Norris, State Fuel Administra-
: tor, writes Mr Weir that the coal
shortage is very great and that the
people of the towns should combine
with the farmers who have wood to
sell, and, as a patriotic duty, BURN
WOOD. There is abundance of wood
adjacent to Norman, and all it needs
is for the farmers to bring it to town.
They will find ready sale for all they
tan supply.

i Of great interest in the world war
lis tae brilliant stand the Italians have
made in keeping back the rush of the
1 Austro-German forces from the Asi-
| ago Plateau region to the plains of
I Northern Italy. Although the enemy
1 has bent back the line of the defenders
| to a point where it seemed that it
| must give away under the press of
overwhelming numbers of men and
| guns, the Italians, reinforced by the
full strength of the British and
French troops rushed to the flint,
have stemmed the tide of onslaught
and for the moment, at least, brought
, the fighting to a pause]
'' Their infantry and shock trobps
balked, the Austrian and German
guns are still heavily bombarding var-
ious points along the front between ■
the Piave and Bretna Rivers, but they j
are being answered almost shot for ;
j shot by the cannons of the allies. From
| the sides of the passes which they are
J holding the Italians have brought in-
j to play with great effect large bould-
j ers which were rolled down on the
enemy on many occasions as they
tried to make their way southward
toward the plain.
Little infantry activity is in pro-
gress on the western front in France,
and Belgium, although on various sec-
tors from the North Sea to the region
of Verdun mutual bombardments are

forbidding even any attempts at med-
iation. The proclamation of the Bol-
sheviki Government asserts that the
Constitutional Democrats and the
Bourgeois are aiding the movement
against the Leninite faction.
The Cossacks are famous as dashing
f chters, and in choosing Korniloff as
its right-hand man, Kaledines obtains
a military man of unquestioned abil-
ity..
I ensuing The Geramns have not yet
! decided again to offer battle to Gen-
i eral Byng's forces in their newly
j chosen positions on the Cambnr se-
| tor, although their artillery has Cam-
I brai and in the region of Moeuvres
| and Banteux.
| In the Verdun sector the Germans
I have made another attempt to pierce
| the French line in the region of Bez-
| onvauz, but were repulsed after some-
| what brick fighting and suffered con-
siderable casualties.

AND SAVE FOOD AND FEED.
DOLLARS RETURNED
It's dollars to doughnuts that some
bakers were greatly astonished when
they received their one-dollar checks
[from the Food Administrator. Some-
| how the impression got out that there
| was a fee of one dollar for each li-
j cense for bakers and public eating
j places. As a result the Food Adminis-
! tration has received several checks in
I payment for licenses, which become
I effective Dec. 10th. Dr. Brooks re-
| turned the checks with a letter ex- I
I plaining that there were no charges j
for the licenses. All bakeries, public ,
eating places, clubs and other places,
consuming ten or more barrels of
flour and corn meal monthly are
placed under federal license Dec. 10th.
Some have not complied with the reg-
ulation and it is the purpose of the
food administration to take definite
steps to enforce it. All applications
for licenses should be made to the
United States Food Administrator,
Washington, D. C., Law Department-
License Division, on forms prepared
by it for that purpose, which may be
j obtained from Dr. Brooks on request.

garage business on East Main street
to Henry Starrer and Andrew Jan-
sing, and the new proprietors took
charge Monday morning. They are re-
garded as among the most competent
and efficient automobile mechanics in
the city, understanding the Business
thoroughly, and will undoubtedly keep
the establishment up to the high
standard maintained by Mr. Banks.
The latter retains his livery business
and is still agent for the A. W. Lee
company. It is said the consideration
in the sale was $1,800.

fice business this morning (Monday)

pea ring before it to answer to the
charge of running their automoLiiei
tc.o asl.
Several of those in hock were
among the most prominent people u
the city, but the Mayor demo*
strated that he was no respecter •'
persons, the prominents having to t«W
their medicine just like the marts
humble folk. Fines of from $11 to % •
were assessed, and the revenuw •:
the city increased some $50.
