BERNE. via Paris. June I'm. Hoff-
mann, member of the Swiss Federal
Council. who was concerned in the re-
cent attempt to institute negotiations
for a separate peace between Germany
and Russia. has resigned.
The Swiss Telegraphic Agency says of
NJ. Hoffmann's telegram to Robert
Grimm that the action taken by NJ.
Hoffman, was not in the interest of
either group Of belligerents, but was
intended to encourage efforts for an
early peace, and consequently was In
the interest OF Switzerland.
In demanding that NJ. HOFFMAN,
should be obliged to resign the SEMI
official Berner BMid said that NJ. Hoff-
mann should not have forgotten the
manner with which the Entente Powers
received the news of Grimm's departure
for Petrograd. and added:
Certainly at the time when Swtzer-
land was rearranging its relations with
the United States II was not opportune
TO give umbrage to tho sensibilties OF
that country. Switzerland will have Ia
submit to humiliation. Henceforth II
will be impossible for the Swiss Minister
at Petrograd to telegraph in cipher. The
Federal Council cannot cover the acts OF
the chief of the political department and
nothing remains but that NJ. Hoffman,
resign The Swiss people do not want
chiefs who mix In foreign intrigues. with

seized this afternoon by a mob OF armed
anarchists who expelled the staff. de-
stroyed all the copies of the paper and
the books and declared that they would

The Russkid VoHd Is particularly
hated by the anarchists because 1t
strongly supported the provisional Gov
ernment and attacked the Bolsheviki fac
ton OF the Socialists and other extrem-
lists. When the Government learned of
this action by the anarchists Gen.
Polovtsefr. commander of the Petrograd
troops. was ordered to send large force
of Cossacks. infantry and machine guns,
who surrounded the building.
In the meantime tho Congress of the
Councils of the Deputies passed n reso-

All of these forces rs well as the

hitting that the move was momentarily

Months ago DR. Ritter. the Swiss Min
lister in Washington, under the direction
OF Hoffman. a Swiss Federal Councillor,
sought TO prevent the United States
from entering the war The same Hoff-
man acting practically as Germany's
agent, recently sent Robert Grimm, an
other member OF the Swiss Council. to
Petrograd to direct the intrigue there.
Grimm and Hoffman both long had
been suspected of intimate German af-
flliations. On June 3 Hoffman tele-
graphed Grimm in cipher from Berne
that Germany would undertake no Of
fensve against Russia while an under
standing was possible; that Germany
desired peace with Russia, with close
financial support. the reorganization of
Russia and "A general territorial under

AS u result of the revelations, which

erland, NJ. Thomas. the French Minister
Of Munitions interviewed in Copenhagen

sion had long been suspected and dis
cussed. The now discovered secret docu-
ments prove. he added. the existence of
the German intrigue through the pro-
Germans among the SWISS. NJ Thomas
declared that the Ententes peace terms
were irreconcilable with the German pro-
posals because the German terms we're

VIENNA CABINET TO QUIT
Revolt of Poles Against War
budget IL Cause.

LONDON. June 19--According TO Reu-
ter's Amsterdam correspondent the VI
emma papers say that after a prolonged
Cabinet council last night II was re-
solved to present the resignation OF the
whole Cabinet to the Emperor to-day.
The Austrian Premier. Count Clam
MARITIME, II is said. decided to resign,
owing to the decision Of the Poles not
to vote for the budget.
CoPENHAoEN, via London, June 1s.-
The revolt of the Poles in the Austrian
Parliament Is described by the Vienna
correspondent OF the Vossfsche Zettung
as having produced a crisis in which
the position. not only Of Premier Clam
MARITIME, but also Count Czernin. the
Foreign Minister. Is threatened.
A majority Of the German papers
treat the news OF the situation with the
greatest reserve, and the Government
organs in Vienna hold out hopes that
the crisis may be overcome by granting
few ministerial posts to Polish and
other Parliamentarians. The Vossische
Zeitung correspondent, however. points
out that the detection OF the Poles is
sufficient to turn the scales against the
Government. since the rest of the Slav
bloc already is in opposition. The
Poles indicated the seriousness OF their
intentions by a decision to vote against
the budget. being the first parliamentary
group in any belligerent country. aside
from a handful of extreme Socialists, to
refuse TO vote a war credit,
)he insistence OF Premier Clam Mar
tinic on Saturday that the Poles should
Immediately show their colors Is de-
scribed as due to the initiative of Count
Czernin. who Is unable to carry on the
foreign policy of the Government while
uncertainty regarding the attitude Of

have been indicated, aim at practically

strike of marine workers in New York

and another will follow shortly. The
Department OF Labor made the following
statement to-day:
"A conference was held at the De-
partment Of Labor at O'Clock yesterday

OF the marine workers of New York
harbor and Secretary Wilson to devise

labor controversies in that port. The

treat with the men or to mediate or ar
bitrate existing differences was the sub
ject Of the discussion. Unless some
compromise is effected 1t IL feared that
general strike will be the result. Tho
representatives Of the men at the re-
quest Of the Secretary Of Labor are

their various organisa tons until further
confer enee can solve II possible, the prob
lens presented"
Chances of settling the differences
were described as not favorable by Sec
retary Wilson. In q nnaf effort to settle
the dispute. which threatens to tie up
the shipyards In and near New York,
Secretary Wilson has called conference
OF the employers for next Saturday. He
saw the workers yesterday. They were
to have walked out last Friday. but post
poned strike action on the request of the
Department OF Labor which hoped to
effect an adjustment of the controversy.
Unless the Department is successful
in composing the differences Of the
workers and the employers 1t Is under
stood that the strike order will be re-
issued next week. The men. II Is under
stood. desire an increase OF 10 per cent.
in their wages with other concessions.
They represented to Secretary Wilson
that they sent out the strike order
respectfully In view Of the emergency in
which the country finds itself, but that
they had no other course since the en-
ployers had refused to treat with the
men or to mediate or arbitrate their
differences.
In the event of a strike II il possible
that a considerable part of the shipping
that the United States Government de-
sires to get for trade with the Allies
will be held up in its construction and
that the repair work OH the interned
German ships will be greatly delayed.
1t is the belief OF Secretary Wilson
that the New York trouble Is purely
local and that there Is little likelihood Of
widespread walkout in the shipyards
of the country.

Threatened Strike Viewed as At
tempt to Get More Money.

Shipbuilders and naval architects In
New York last night were inclined to-
ward the opinion that the threatened
strike here was merely an attempt Of
labor to get more money and shorter
hours and not due to propaganda to
embarrass this Government at a critical
time. They said that In the shipyards In
and about New York. although there had
been rumblings Of discomfort for the last
few weeks, no attempts had been made by
the workingmen In the yards to make
trouble on a large scale. The shipbuild-
ing contractors said that the unrest In
the yards was entirely local. although
some trouble was reported In Newpor,
