RUSSIA MUCH
SURPRISED BY
U.S.ATT ITUDE
ON A TREATY

Petrograd, Oct. 25.-(Correspondenc
of the Associated Press)-The failure
of the United States to enter into i'm
mediate negotiations for new trade
treaty with Russia is causing consider
able surprise in Petrograd.
When. over a month ago. officials
here understood that preliminary steps
would be taken by the United States
to sound the Russian foreign office on
the subject of trade relation and as
certain whether proposals pointing to-
ward the formulation of a new treaty
would be welcome, the minister of for
eign affairs took the view that Rus
STA stood ready to receive such pro-
posals, and that they would be re-
ceived in the most friendly. spirit by,
the Russian government which was
anxious to reopen and extend the
treaty with America. At the foreign
office here, it was taken for granted
that this would be the preface of i'm
mediate action by America. Accord
ing to information at the foreign Of
flee, the terms of the new treaty have
not been discussed, but it was SUBJ
gested that these would be most IA
vorable to the United States.
AS evidence of our good faith"
said M. Sasonoff, minister of foreign
affairs, I'VE are already allowing
America the commercial privileges en-
joyed by those countries whose treat
les with us contain the most favored
nation clause"

GRAND JURY
IN SULLIVAN
CASE AGREES
UPON REPORT

Houlton, Me-, Nov. 19.-The grand
jury which has been inquiring into the
death of Miss Mildred Sullivan fin
ished the taking Of testimony ami
agreed upon report tonight. What
this finding was, however, will not be
learned until a formal report is made
next week.
The Jury has been listening to wit
nesses for three days. Several wit
nesses who had been summoned had
not been examined when the hearing
was closed.

Germans Reinforced

The Germans are sending very
strong forces of men and guns into
the country between the two rivers
where, the battle must be fought, hop.
ing that in this confined area the
Russians will not be able to deploy
their enormous forces to their advant'
age as they have done in virtually all
the previous battles.
Grand Duke Nicholas, Russian COM
mander in chief, however, can choose
his own ground for the. battle, and
it Is probable that he will select 1t as
far away from the German lines of
communication as he can.
In Galicia, before Cracow. and n
East Prussia the Russians are push
ing their advantage apparently disre-
garding the fact that their center has
been compelled to fall back. They
are also showing much activity in the
Carpathians their object being to pre-
vent the Austrians from retiring into
Hungary. In fact, it is stated that
they have already cut off 100000 Aus
TRANS who will now be compelled. If
defeated, to retreat westward.
In Flanders and France. the battle
which has been going on for So days,
has again developed into an artillery
duel Infantry attacks which formerly
were of so frequent occurrence, have
decreased This doubtless Is due to
the inability of the infantry on either
side to operate successfully over the
muddy ground and also because of
the extended area which the Allies
have flooded between the coast and
Dixmude.
While they are moving men east
ward to oppose the Russians. the Ger
mans are reported to be bringing more
big guns to the Western front, hay-
ing determined to carry out big gun
bombardment of the Allies entrench-
ments.
Russian and Turkish squadrons
have met in long distance duel off
Sebastopol, and both claim to have
had the better of the encounter. Ac-
cording to the Russian report the for
mer German cruiser Goeben, now at
tached to the Turkish navy, was dam
aged while the Turks assert that a
Russian battleship suffered severely
and that the other Russian warships

Reminiscent of the early days of
the war is the report from Vienna that

weeks and was relieved only when the

Actually ExtOrted"

Having in view the testimony Civ
en- by the different contributors" says
the report, "the only conclusion that
seems possible to us is that the money
was actually extorted."
The charges, which were made in
the New Brunswick Legislature by L.
A. Dugal. specifically named J. x.
Flemming, premier of the province. as
responsible for the alleged extortions.
The report says the commission does
not find evidence ito prove that F1em-
ming personally directed the extor-
ton II finds that Mr.. F1emming
named the treasurer of the so-called
"extortion fund.-" E. R. Teed of Wood
stock and that he knew the fund was
being raised and that from time TO
time, money was coming into Mr..
leeds hands The report says it was
shown that the money was extorted
by w. II. Berry, superintendent of
scalers, and that Trimmings acqu,-
esced in the collection of such money
at a time and from a source griev-
ously improper.
Regarding the Valley Railway
charges, the commission finds that a
sum believed to approximate 100000
intended for the railway. did not go
into the construction. Continuing, the
report says that John Kennedy, con-
tractor paid Flemming $4,000 ostensi-
bly, for election purposes, and that in
this transaction ''compulsion existed
primarily from the fact that F1em-
ming was premier and Kennedy con-
tractor on the work.
The commission finds that H. Nc
Leod, who was at that time provin-
cial secretary and member of the
Dominion Parliament was not guilty
of charges in connection with the rail-
way contract. Mcleod is now a ma
jor in the Canadian war contingent in
Europe.
