Petrograd. May 13.-General Korni-

resignation was due to an impossible
position arising from the efforts Of
various organizations to control the
garrison. and added: "Well. then, let
them take the sponsibility."
The last straw was the demand yes

Nj. Thomas Pleads
With Russian Council
French Minister Says Social
lists Must Beware of New
German Intrigue

Petrograd, May 13.-Albert Thomas,
French Minister of Munitions. upon in
vitation, yesterday afternoon explained
to the executive committee of the
Council Of Workmen's and Soldiers
Delegates his views on the present po-
litical situation. the war and the ac-
tions oil international socialism.
NJ Thomas said that France was al
times uneasy regarding the assistance
which Russia might lend. The hopes
Of the French democracy were that the
new Russia would help France unre-
servediy. He explained why the major
ity Of French Socialists considered 1t
impossible to meet the majority OF
German Socialists in conference
which would have been convoked with
out preliminary recognition of common
principles. He recognized that it was
desirable that the Socialists of all
countries should clearly formulate their
principles.
NJ. Thomas added. however, that this
effort must not be allowed to become
the occasion of new German intrigue
He said that after the United States
had entered the war and after the
revolution in Russia the western So
cialists could not consent to discuss
Inc democratic aims Of the war unless
they we're convinced that the war would
be vigorously prosecuted, for the war
aims of international democracy never
would be recognized by Prussisn mill
tarism.
To realize democratic ideas, the
French minister asserted, all must work
together TO assure the defeat OF Ger

Reichstag May Not
Get Terms of Peace

Copenhagen, May i3.-It is learned
that on the subject Of peace conditions
the government will merely submit a
declaration that the time is inopportune
for a definition or discussion Of Ger
many's peace terms. Il is rumored in
Berlin Parliamentary circles that DR..
Won Bethmann-H Hollweg, the imperial
Chancellor, may not read the declara-
tion himself Tuesday, but leave TO DR..
Alfred Zimmerman, the Vice-Chan-
ccllor, the task Of sidestepping the
Conservative and Socialist .nterpella-
tons.
The Chancellor attitude. apparent

conditions in Russia and by the feeling
that 10 is best 20 avoid any statement

Philadelphia, May l3.-Allan Seeger'

self with bullet from his own pistol
after he was wounded in charge OF
the Foreign Legion in France, accord
ing TO a letter received here to-day
from Charles kerwood, of Bryn Mawr'
member OF the Lafayette Corps of

early in April were received in this
country recently.
Wounded in the breast, abdomen

that his death was only a matter Of

Hollweg Believed
Secure, Although
Batting Continues
Back from Front, Goes to
Vienna for Conference
on War Aims

Berlin, May 13.--While the batting OF
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg Is
going on the events of the last forty
eight hours would seem to indicate that
DR.. Won Bethmann- Hollweg's position
continues to be absolutely secure. The
Chancellor returned from hurried
visit 70 Great Headquarters Saturday
morning and left the same night for
Vienna, after having spent the day IN
conference with the Reichstag party
leaders with respect to the interpelia-
tions on Germany's war aims.
Both his visit to Great Headquarters
and his trip 70 the Austrian capital
were made in connection with the
Chancellor's declaration covering the
war aims. which he will submit to the
Reichstag Tuesday. Both the govern
ment and the middle road parties are
desirous Of avoiding an extensive or
acrimonious debate. and representa-
tives of the latter will unite IN joint
statement OF present Independent COIN
Gliding declarations.
Il is contended that the Chancellor
holds enough strong cards in the pres
ent military situation, the success OF
the U-boats, the record sixth war loan
and the Improvement in the food situa-
tion. to beat off his opponents, who
have been az his heels for months past.
Vienna, May li.--Dr. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg. the Imperial German Chan
cellor, had luncheon Sunday with En-
peror Charles and Empress Zita. Later
he dined with Count Czernin, the For
eign Minister, and started on his return
for Berlin in the evening.
The discussion which the Chancellor
started with Count Czernin will be con-
tinued in Berlin shortly.

European Proletariat May Be
On Eve of Rising to End War
Russian Socialists at Stockholm Conference Will Attempt
to Swing Restless Masses of Many Nations
Into Revolution

ance with President Wilson's doctrine,
propounded in the Senate speech, that
all peoples have the right to settle
their own destinies. Il will be recalled
that one of the first aims of the Rus
sian Labor and Soldiers Council was
to have the Allies rcstate their aims
in the war
The invitation TO participate IN the
Stockholm conference was rejected -py
the French Socialists only by major
ity of one. There is no doubt now that
the Russian council expects the par
ticipation of the French radicals.
Finally. there is the munition strike
in England. The strike is taking place
in spite of the fact that 1t was unau-
thorized by the trade unions. 1here can
be no question that it is largely the re-
suit of economic conditions. utilized by
Socialists for agitation against the eS-
isting methods of government. A strike
i'm England to-day is perhaps more sig
niicant Of the spirit LEI loose among
the European labor classes by the nus
sian revolution than any similar event
in Germany.
II is clear that a new factor has
entered the international situation
since the Russian revolution. and IT
Is a factor TO be reckoned with. Iheo-
retical Socialism is being translated
into practical terms. The masses OF
both belligerent groups are profound
ly dissatisfied. They feel that their
respective governments have been un-
able to release them of the net whlcn
enmesnes Europe As matter OF
fact. they have been feeling so for
some considerable time. The Russian
revolution has only suggested to them
n possible solution European revo-
luton Of the masses.
Russian Radicals Hostile
II Is no secret that the russian Rad
icals are hostile toward Great Britain
ard even the United States as capl-
talistic nations. Engiand's intimacy
with the Car. its treatment OF Ireland,
and. queer as il may seem, its imperial
istic designs in Persia in collaboration
with the old Russian government have
branded England in the eyes OF the
Russian Radicals as an Imperialistlc
country.
Frances loans TO and alliance with
the Gar have also greatly changed the
attitude Of the Russian Socialists tow
ard the first European republic. As 10
the feeling toward the United States,
the recent Mooney demonstration IN
front Of the American Embassy at Pet
rograd is very Illustrative.
II is OF these grounds that the nego-
tiatons between the Allied and Teuton
Socialists are expected TO take place.
The latter would md response to
their anti-British sentiments in the
Russians. On the other hand. the Al
lied Socialists would demand OF the
Tcutons guarantees Of the overthrow
of their mouarchies in return for a
revolution OF the French, Italian and
British labor masses.
There can be no doubt that should
such a general uprising occur in the
belligerent countries, turbulent Spain
and Scandinavia would not remain
passive. There have been numerous
indications lately of profound unrest
in these sections Of Europe.

Stockholm. May i3-Here in the
capital of one of Europe's minor king
doms will occur shortly, at the in
stance of the Russian revolutionists.
an international conference of Social
lists, to consider not merely means TO
peace and a revival of the Inter
rationale that broke down at the be
ginning of the war, but rising OF
Europe's united proletariat.
A survey Of the Socialist situation
in Europe discloses some remarkable
features. First, there is Russia. The
extreme Socialists practically control
the empire of 1SO,OOO,OOO, holding in
their hands the fate OF the Provisional
Government and, to certain extent,
OF the Allies. The Russian army does
not obey the Provisional Government,
il heeds not the appeal OF the Duma
chiefs. but il would almost 70 a unit
rise at the command of the Council
and execute its orders, whether for war
or peace.
German Situation
In Germany the situation is pOrten-
tous. either from the point OF view OF
the HohenZollerns or that Of the Allied
governments. The Socialists IN Ger
many. who are the progenitors OF Rus
sian Socialism, are practically the DOM
mating power. Since the Russian revo-
luton the prestige of Socialism has
enormously increased in Germany, so
that to-day Bethmann- ollweg Is
virtually a vassal Of the Socialists. in
the hope that they may bring peace.
The strength of the extreme, lnterna-
tional Socialists. who are the CO
thinkers of the Russian radicals.
IS greatly underestimated outside Of
Germany. The hundreds Of thousands
of workmen who struck recently IN
spite of the urgings OF the labor unions
and the Scheidemann faction, are IN
ternationalists. 1t is known that the
latter are rapidly gaining influence IN
German Socialist circles, and that II
the Kaiser does not appease them.
even the Scheidemann followers Will
ioin the radicals led by Haase and
Ledebour.
Peace Moves in Austria
Conditions in Austria Hungary are
not fully known. However. the per,
sistent reports of a very widespread
peace movement and the recent confer
cnces of Count Czernin with the SO
cialist leaders who have been dele
gated TO the Stockholm conference
make it evident that the Socialists
there are behind the peace efforts.
The Emperor's announcement that the
Rcichsrat would be convened soon Ger,
tainlv is nothing else but forced
concession to the Socialists, who were
the only ones TO protest against the
propagation of Parliament for nearly
three years.
In France the Socialist extremists
have rallied their forces in surpris-
ing manner, threatening the control OF
the party by the more conservative
wing. Last January practically the en-
tire party demanded that the govern
ment restate its war aims. in accord
