PETROGRAD POST
OFFERED TO FRANCIS

Ambassador from United States
to Russia.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-David r.
Francis of St. Louis, secretary of the
interior in Cleveland S cabinet and for
mer governor of Missouri, has been
offered the post of ambassador to Rus
sia to succeed George t. Marye. Mr..
Francis has not replied, but President
Wilson is understood to have urged
him to accept.
Government officials regard the Petro-
grad post as an extremely important
one at present because of questions
growing out of the war and because
the United States and Russia are dis
cussing the negotiation of new com
mercial treaty to take the place of the
one abrogated by this country several
years ago. As there are no representa-
tives in Russia of the Teutonic allies.
the American embassy is entrusted with
the task of inspecting detention camps
in Russia.
Mr.. Marye probably will not await
the arrival of the new ambassador, but
IS expected to leave for the United
States as soon as Fred Morris Dearing.
who has been transferred as first secre-
tary of embassy from Madrid to Petro-
grad, arrives.

HOUSE CONSULTED
ON MAILlSEIZURES
Swedish Minister to England Discusses
the Subject with Presidents
Representatives.

LONDON, Feb. 10. - Count Wrangel.
the Swedish minister to England, has
been holding a series of conferences
with Colonel Edward NJ House, Presi-
dent Wilson S personal representative,
on the subject of the detention of neu-
trail mails by belhgerents Incidentally.
the whole question of possible joint ac-
ton by neutrals to protect their rights
has been discussed.
The first conference, during which
Count Wrangel and Colonel House were
closeted for several hours, was arranged
on the initiative of the Swedish min
lister. The controversy between Swed-
en- and Great Britain over detention of
mail by both countries reached an i'm
passe several weeks ago, and neither
country since then has made any con
cession.
The question became serious when
Sweden, in retaliation for the seizure
OF her transatlantic mails by Great
Britain, seized the English post on its
way to Russia. Approximately $4,000
parcels of this mail are now held up in
Sweden. Great Britain countered with
a refusal to sell coal to Sweden.
Meantime strong representations have
been made by both sides, but neither
has given any satisfactory assurance
tending to its conclusion. Early in the
controversy Walter Hines Page, the
American ambassador to Great Britain.
was approached by Swedish diplomats.

States take joint action with Sweden in

lie found the colonel willing to listen to
the Swedish side of the controversy, but
no hint has yet been given that the
United States intends to change its
present policy of playing a lone hand in
an effort to settle differences with the
belligerents. 1t is considered significant.

Young Grohol Expects No
Difficulty in Arranging
Matters in Ansonia
STRIKERS ADMIT
THEY MADE MISTAKE
Youth Who Secured Control Over For
eigners Says the Men Are Willing to
Be Fair and Officials of COMPANY
Are Ready to Compromise.

ANSONIA, Conn, Feb 19-"The strike
in Ansonia will be settled without anv
clash, said Joseph Grohol, the young man
who has secured, through his knowledge
OF seven languages and his tact, almost
complete control over the 2,OO0 or more
striking laborers Of the American Brass
Company, after big strikers meeting to-
day.
I'VE win have peace at any cost, he
added
He stated that he had found BY getting
the committees of the several nationalities
together that the strikers have found out
that they had made a mistake, that they
are willing to be fair and that the. officials
OF the company on the other hand are will
ing to discuss the situation.
The bringing of order out of chaos and
the assumption of leadership by the youth
came about in a dramatic manner last
night. GrohoI, a recent graduate of the
Ansonia high school, who is now employed
by the brass company, owns a hall which
the strikers desired to rent for meeting.
He gave permission on condition that
there be no disorder. The meeting was
held and the hall was filed to overfiowing
with men OF many nationalitias An un-
identified man, who it is said claimed to
be an organizer of the industrial workers
OF the world, began to address the crowd.
Many did not understand him, and soon
there was a babel of tongues and much
confusion
Grohol at this point mounted the plat
form and ordered the speaker to leave the
hall. Failing to do SO, Grohol threw him
from the platform and he disappeared.
Speaking in various languages, Grohol then
told the men that peace must be preserved
and he suggested that a committee be
named to have full charge of the dispute
His remarks met with instant favor. and
Grohol suddenly found himself to be mas
ter of the situation. He urged the men to
get together and name a committee OF
three from each nationality TO meet with
him. This was done and the meeting ad-
lourned When the committee met. its
personnel was found to be composed of the
following nationahties: Russian, Polish.
Slavish, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Italian,
Greek. Syrian, German, English and
American.
From this committee a subcommittee Of
seven was named. In the meantime, off
clals OF the company, hearing for the first
time that some responsible party was in
charge OF the unusual strike, sent word
that II would be pleased to hold confer
ence. This was arranged, and the officials
were acquainted with rough draft of the
demands The whole committee met this
morning and the subcommittee will then
hold conference with officials at >
o clock Both sides were hopeful last
night OF peaceabe settlement.

Evidence was given to show that
the overpass has clearance of only
10. feet above the highway and that
loads of hay, barrels, furniture and
other bulky materials cannot be
driven under it, also to show that
with the sharp curves just beyond the
pass it is impossible for drivers of
teams or automobiles to see more than
80 feet in either direction.
