Scheidemonn and Ebert
Urge Bolsheuiki Peace

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 20 Philip
Seheidemann and Friedrich Ebert, the
German majority Socialist leaders, be-
fore large meetings in Dresden and FL
berfeld yesterday launched campaign
designed 10 force the German and Aus
trian governments TO abandon their
present plans for annexations under the
guise Of protectorates of Poland, Lithu-
ania and the Baltic provinces and &C.
cept the peace offer Of the Russian Boil
sheviki.
Herr Scheidemann said Germany
would be endangered and the proposed
general disarmament and lasting peace
placed in jeopardy if Russia should be
torced By German pressure 70 become
military state. He expressed pleasure
at the general condemnation whEh he
said was being made manifest Within
the Central Empires Of the pan TO
make the Austrian Emperor King OF
Poland and invest the German Emperor
with the mantle of Duke OF Courland
and Prince of Lithuania.
Such disregard Of Russia's vital In
terests, on the principle that the foe
had been vanquished, would SOW perma-
nent discord between Russia and Ger
many, he asserted, and perpetuate the
war in Europe.
Herr Ebert, like Herr Scheidemanr,
proposed resolutions Of solidarity with
the Russian Maximalists and de-
olared that German labor must do duty

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Nov. 20.-A German shell
yesterday fell through the roof Of the
chateau in which an American regi-
mental headquarters is established near
the front. The shell exploded, but no
one was hurt. Several officers, includ-
ing the American colonel in command
of the regiment, were in the building
at the time.
Two other shells exploded near by.
An American brigadier general had q
narrow escape in the same town, an
earlier she'll exploding and scatterir g
stones and mud on his automobile just
as he left. The Germans are especial
~ active in Smelling the roads. A burst
Of shrapnel over a group Of American
soldiers eating supper at the roadside
killed oneShd wounded three.
The German fire at points bacv OF
the American positions is most active.
The shells fall rapidly at times. The
American artillery replies energeticaI-
~, sending shrapnel at the enemy
trenches and high explosive shells 1t
his batteries.
Active patrolling continues. Four
American patrols on a recent night re-
NAMED for hours in front of the enemy
line, hoping to ambush Germans. bit
none appeared.
The American artillery and infantry
at the front are dry once more, the
rain having ceased for several days.
The correspondents visiting the i'm
n:cdiate front through the courtesy Of
the French staff found that the Amer
scans had taken advantage Of the rain
less weather and were devoting all
their energies TO changing, as they put
il, Germans into casualties"
They are on their toes every minute
and are not letting a single oppor-
tunity slip to drop a shell or 70 send
machine gun and rife bullets where
the enemy is seen, or where ne even
is suspected OF being. There is no
doubt that the men like the life they
are living. They are cool and method
cal, as if they had been doing nothing
else than fighting throughout their
lives.
The fire group in the first line
trenches had just sat down to their
salmon sandwiches and coffee when
they jumped up and cut loose with
their automatic rifles at Germans who
were discovered hanging out clothes
on wine in battered village. They
saw the enemy dive for cover like rab-
bits. and then they went on with their
meal as If nothing had happened.
From the first line trenches, which
are on hill, the German first line can
be seen clearly between 500 and 1000
yards away. There was something in
the German first line once which will
never 90 back TO Germany.
1t is a woolly dog which deserted the
enemy, crossed No Mans Land and
bounded into an American trench one
dark night recently. 1t licked the hand
of an American "doughboy," and was
promptly fed with a piece Of white
bread and handful of Columbia River
salmon. He was thereupon adopted,
and now roams all around the trenches.
This pup" said one of the soldiers,
"is naturalized American. and there
is no hyphen about him. lie has en-.
tirely forgotten all his Boche connec-
tions. hope he gets a chance to bits

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY, Nov. 19.-The
correspondent to-day made a tour Of
thirty miles along the Pisve battle
front, and saw the Duke Of Aosta,
commander Of the Sd Army guarding
the Piave line, whose men hurled the
Austrians into the river and reestab-
lished the solidity Of the Pisve front.
The duke is OF striking appearance.
He is tall, of athletic build, with gray
hair and mustache and face bronzed
by exposure. He acknowledged cor
daily the salutes Of the correspond
ent's party, and a colonel Of his staff
explained conditions along the line.
Everywhere, the colonel said, the
enemy had been thrown back except
at the brink Of the river at Zenson,
where a few men were huddled in the
bushes, unable TO 60 forward or back
ward, and were being slowly cut to
pieces.
Approaching the battle front, the
party passed the brigade mentioned
by General Diaz, the commander in
chief, for its furious assault at Zen
son. 1t was just back from the front
line, and the men still wore their he'll
NETS. Many of them were men Of
twenty. They we're sturdy country
boys, and marched along seemingly
unconscious Of their glory.
At the barracks they were counting
captured Austrian rifles and guns. The
line Of captured machine guns looked
like a collection Of huge black grass
hoppers. The bayonets we're detach-
able, two-edged bowie knives.
On the cemetery road, where the Aus
trians advanced and set up their line of
uuickfrers, fearful scene was spread
before the party. The road was Uttered
as though a tornado lad passed by
The highway was strewn with enemy
helmets, bloodstained clothing, car
fridge belts and all kinds of accoutre-
ments. The trees on either side were
cut in two, and the lines of bushes
were levelled like grain before storm.
Just ahead on the road was Sega
Mill. where the hardest fighting was
centred. All about were evidences OF
fearful carnage. Just back of the mill
on the sandbar in midstream lay
corpses in heaps as far as the eye
could see, the uniforms showing plain
ly that they were Austrians. Some lay
on the bank and some foated in the
water. The Italians had just buried
the bodies of 300 Austrians, but those
other hundreds could not be brought
back for decent burial, as the Austrian
guns cut down stretcher bearers every
time they went off toward the sandbar.
The grewsome line Of bodies extend
ed far down the river. The Austrians
had been cut down by machine gun fire
as though by scythe. All the men in
the line pitched forward on their faces
and lay there, as though on dress pa
rade, but PROSTATE.

BolsheUiki Regime
Nearing Fell, Belief
OF Russians Here
[Staf CORRESPONDENCE ]

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Kerensky
will never resume his official position
nor recover his political prestige IN
Russia, according to Russian diplomats
here, who stated their belief to-day
that his confession of lack Of confidence
in his soldiers, his arrest by fis own
men and his willingness TO treat with
the Bolsheviki for terms have destroye !
his influence and caused him to forfeit
his place in the revolution.
It is believed in best informed quar-
tiers here that events in Russia are
shaping themselves toward 4 most i'm
portant development, involving the COM
pletc discrediting of the Bolsh"viki ana
the erection Of strong government ~
capable executives, but the personals
ties to take part in this reorganization
of the national functions arc declared
not yet to be known here.

suggest that all measures be taken
such as will enable the delegate TO be
present in Petrograd on November %.
One delegate should be sent from each

Finnish Reuolutionists
Hamper Entente Consuls

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 20.-The Ameri-
can. French and British representatives
at the border station of Tornea, oppo-
site Haparanda, have been stripped of
all actual power by Finnish revolution
lists. assisted by Russian soldiers. At
the outset the reyolutionists refused to
recognize any diplomatic privileges and
detained properly accredited couriers.
They were induced finally 70 desist from
this attitude, but they are bringing all
conceivable obstructionist tactics TO
bear to compel the Entente representa-
tives to recognize them. Recognition
has been refused fatty.
The revolutionists visited the Swed-
ish Consulate at Tornea and demanded
that the consul place his automobile at
their disposal and he himself act as
their chauffeur. This he refused 70 do.
The revolutionists then tore the Swed-
ish flag from the consulate and depart
ed, declaring that they needed no for
eign consuls in Tornea.
