PARIS, Jan.

circles In this city are greatly concerned over the situation in their country. They fear especially that their possessions in Africa, forming the third largest colonial empire on that continent, may come into question and that some European state may point out that Portu. gal, being in a state of anarchy, is iunfit to rule other peoples. The Portuguese hope that the deleIgates attending the peace congress will let them keep what they already possess.

The bolsheviki are continuing their shelling of the American positions at Ust Padenga, thirty miles south of Shenkursk, and the American artillery is replying to the enemy fire. The infantry attack which the bolsheviki were expected to make yesterday failed to materialize.

Peasants say that the bolsheviki suffered 500 casualties in the infantry attack on Jan. 19, leaving many wounded who froze to death in the forest. The American casualties in the fight were less than fifty all told. I It ran be donenot perfectly, It 'seemsbut with a good approach to decency and right feeling. We mean the getting home of our people during the evening rush hours.

How infamous are the conditions of rush-hour surface transportation everybody knows and ever3body believes that a considerable measure of the infamy is avoidable. The elevated people have their troubles and make their mistakes as the subjoined notes of two evenings of rush-hour observations by a Tribune" reporter show but they manifestly do make an effort, and they treat their patrons like human beings, instead of like cattle. It is, unhappily, easy to collect on I any night, fair or foul. columns of evi. deuce on the bad management and bad spirit which characterize the methods of the surface lines in dealing with the howeward bound public during the rush hours.

It is not so easynor so usualto point out instances of the working of a good method and the right spirit. There are such merits in the handling of traffic on the elevated loop during the rush hours, and they are here recorded. As the reporter says, there were no 1 miracles of efficiency and lhere were faults, but there also were no gra 1 tuitous Indignities and no gross Indifference to the public's comfort." Time was a factor which the guards were solicitous These merits cannot be recorded of surface traffic handling. The Tribune" believes encourage. ment is good medicine.

Praise where praise is due begets increased zeal. The report in question does not go deep and was not meant It merely represents a brisk survey of conditions and makes no recommendations. It just tells how things go when those in charge do their duty cheerfully. In effect, it is a report on a story that did not come offfor we anticipated the worstyet it contains a sensation of a kind in that it shows that even in rush hour Chicago there is something right and decent in trans. portation handling.

It is printed as turned in, without rearrangement or revision, as thus possessing greater onthe-spot value. EDITUR OF "THE TRIBUNE." rising. rising. xY. 4'1 old Russian empire shall be and that the factions shall make ince as a condition to participation proposed conference et Princes find.

A similar invitation has been addressed, the speakers said, to intellectuals who have heretofore stood outside the civil war.

The wholesale trade in many foodstuffs was declared yesterday to be demoralized; in butter, paralyzed. The public and the trade generally seem to have the idea that this may be the beginning of the toboggan slide. Government and foreign buying has almost wholly stopped. For the first time in years extensive buying has been started in Australia 1 1 and South America. The comparative corner that the United States has had on the worlds food supplies is broken.

British Force in Peril? Unconfirmed reports have been received in official circles here that the bolsheviki have captured Orenburg, capital of the province of that name, on the Ural river, about 250 miles north of the Black sea. If the report proves true the difficulty of the Russian-Siberian army getting into touch with Gen. Denikine's force is increased. The capture of Orenburg also would constitute a threat to the small British force in Transcaucasia.

Advance on Petrograd. Esthonlan officials claim that the defeat of the bolsheviki after the cap. ture of Narva amounted to a complete rout, according to a. Helsingfors dispatch to the Daily Mail. Esthonian advance guards now are within seventy.

We cannot understand why the conference seeks to establish relations with ouoppressors. Russian patriots cannot meet men who betrayed Russia at Brest-Litovek. We hoped we were to be consultell on the restoration of order and national government in Russia. Jost the contrary has been done. The bolsizevists won a great victory yesterday in Paris.

It will mean the loss of one month for us. I suppose the peace conference feels the meeting at Princes' islands will fail owing to a leek of delegates entitled to speak on behal of Russia, and thus it will be la position to interfere emphatically against the boishevists."

Jan. the Associated Moon LONDON, Jan. 23.A coroner's jury. after several hearings upon the mysterious death of Miss Billie Carlton, an American actress, who was found dead In her room in a London hotel early last December, today returned a verdict of manslaughter against Reggie Devuelle, a designer of gowns, on the ground that he supplied the actress with cocaine. The coroner explained that under the defense of the realm act it was illegal to supply such a drug.

Devuelle apparently is held for manslaughter on the ground that he was responsible for the actress becoming a drug addict. If so, the verdict is unprecedented in fixing the blame upon the original, not the immediate, cause. Lived with Devuelle. Devuelle testified Miss Carlton had lived in his flat for some time In order to escape an American officer who had proposed to her and had threatened to kill her because she had jilted him. The officer, Devuelle said, had smashed the door to their flat, was arrested, and returned to America.

Mrs. Vernon Castle, at whose apartments Miss Carlton called just before her death, was not called to testify. Doings In an Opium Den. The coroner's investigation brought to light the details of weird orgies, or unholy rites indulged in by Miss Carlton and others. not only In her own luxurious apartments but In the dens maintained by Le Ping You, a Chinaman, and Adele 'Ping, his Scotch wife.

He wore a full evening suit, patent leathers, silk socks. and an overcoat that for costliness made the police gasp in awe. A silk hat capable of holding a gallon or two was left at the Atlantic hotel when Alberto was taken. Also a young woman, who was his guest, was not to be found, but she left a costly fur coat. Alberto told the police he had flirted with the young woman in St.
