Bolshevik Thrten Roumanians with
capture of King Ferdin-
and
(By Associated Press)
Jan. 17.-The Teutonic allies and
the Bolsheviki are still deadlocked
over the question of peace terms' The
stumbling block evidently is over the
evacuation of occupied territory de-
manded by the Russians in order that
the inhabitants should have freedom
in expressing their desires as to their
future government.
An official German statement says
the Russian proposals. regarding the
evacuation are so divergent from the
ideals of the Central powers in their
present form as to be unacceptable to
Germany and her allies,
No Change In Situation
Apparently there has been no ame-
liorations in the situation existing be-
tween the Bolsheviki and the Rouman-
ian government. Following closely
upon theg ultimatum to Roumania,
threatening energetic military meas-
ures if the Roumanians fail immed-
iately to release members of the Bol-
sheviki who were arrested, according
to the official announcement, it is
said, that the arrest of -King Ferdin-
and has been ordered by the Bolshe-
viki. If captured the monarch was to
be brought to Petrograd and impris-
oned,
Bolshevki Fight
Fighting between the Bolsheviki and
the counter revolutionary forces con-
tinue in various points in Russia pro-
per and Siberia. Hostilities between
the Ukeranians and Bolsheviki forces
at Odessa, again has broken out.
Warships are said to have bombared
the city.
Another mutiny is declared to have
broken out recently at Germany's
naval base at Kiel.

Garfiels Action Reaches
Only Through News-
papers
A few industries in Ann Arbor are
awaiting definite orders regarding the
new closing rules issued by both
Fuel Administrator Garfield and State
Fuel Administrator Prudden. Although
most business places will close no in-
formation has been given the mayor
relative to the enforcement of the ord-
ers and the only news of the rules has
come from the newspapers, Some
stores and manufacturing plants do
not wish to close their places-aofbusi-
ness until specific orders are received.
Several manufacturing plants have
endeavored to secure advice on the
question but no definite information
can be gotten. In all probability,
some of the plants and stores will re-
main open on Monday and work during
their regular hours until an order to
close is received.
Mayor Issues Request
Mayor Ernest M. Wurster has been
given no orders from either Mr. Gar-
field or Mr. Prudden, but he has re-
quested all stores and manufacturing
plants to abide by the rule. It will
be a patriotic move for any firm to
close whether or not the enforcement
order is received. It is not known as
yet what steps will be taken in re-
spect to business places which remain
open.
Most Stores Act
Most stores have taken up the order
immediately and observed the nine-
hour-a-day rule yesterday. Huston
Brothers store on State street, will
keep open as follows: First five days
of week from 1 to 10 o'clock, Saturday
10 to 10 o'clock, Sunday as usual. This
was one of the first stores to abide
by the state proclamation.

terday and was assigned to the police

ton. All the coal turned over to the
