Dukhonin keeps up battle stance amid Russia peace talk
Reassuring dispatches from Russia claim no separate peace is planned and that General Dukhonin’s forces will fight on. Officials quoted say Bolsheviks will be repulsed within weeks as South Russia’s forces, in control of supplies, push toward restoring Russia. Embassy staff in London and the Russian navy reportedly deny any plan to recognize Petrograd’s new rulers. The situation remains delicate as loyalist forces work to revive Russia quietly.

Packers Must Keep Within Nine Per Cent
Washington reports a protest by Chicago packers failed to overturn food administration limits capping earnings at three percent maximum profit. Hoover defended the policy, noting prewar profits were just under nine percent and warning higher profits would force higher prices and public policy concerns. Packers argued capital for expansion was hard to raise. Hoover said export demand could sustain bank support for plant expansion if needed.
