Christmas Presents Given
NeutralS on Raider

Pernambueo. Brazil. Jan. 29.-From
information CLEANED from survivors OF
steamers sunk recently in the South
Atlantic by the German raider Il has
been learned that the raider was a
vessel of the merchant type. about 800
feet long and with parts of her sides
movable. She had two telescope masts,
two telescope tunnels, false hand
steering gear on the pOopdeek, which
concealed her largest gun, and -FOUR
concealed torpedo tubes.
The steamer, IL is said, mounted four
siX-inch and two seventeen guns ana
also smaller guns, including several OF
nthe machine type. The captain OF the
raider informed a captured British OH
Ger that he was not interested in pas
senger boats. He sought only cargo
boats, he said, as he had no accom-
modations for women and children.
The raider frequently was repainted
and had on board sufficient material
completely 70 change her appearance.
j, Enemy prisoners. it was stated, were
allowed an hour daily for exercise,
while neutrals. who wore white bands
on their sleeves, were granted greater
liberties and also received Christmas
presents made by German girls.
All agree that the raider is thor
oughly equipped.
BE- As an example, they say each pris-
ioner on boarding the raider is fur
nished with kit, hammock and blan-
ket. The prisoners are kept in the hold
behind iron doors. and some of the men
saw that their lot was not pleasant
one owing to the intense heat and the
uncertainty of their fate, especially
when signal shots were fired at a new
victim by the raider and they we're eX-
pectant Of answering shots.

SAZONOFF SAYS
ENTENTE TERMS

Holds Russia Must Dominate
Dardanelles-Sees No Hope
for Wilson Plan

Petrograd. Jan. 29.-Sergius Sazo-
nofr. former Foreign Minister, who has
just been appointed Russian Ambassa-
DOR to London, comments on President
Wilson's Senate speech in an inter
view printed in the Russian newspapers
to-day. He holds the view already
taken by most prominent Russians in
stating that President Wilson's efforts
TO prevent a repetition Of the world
war have his full sympathy and par
ticularly commencing the idea of'
peace league, but he fails to see the
practical value Of the speech at this
time.
81 must say" said NJ. Sszonof, that
| cannot see from reading the speech
how President Wilson hopes to realize
his idea, which is by no means new. 1t
is impossible to understand a peace
without victory. II is quite impossible
10 return TO the status quo ante bel
lum."
NJ. SazonoH said that without the
following terms the Entente Allies
could not consider peace:
"The restoration Of Belgium and
Serbia and the return to France OF
Alsace and Lorraine.
"The ceding OF territory to Italy.
"The freedom of Poland and Ru-
mania.
"Russia's domination of tho Darda-
nelles and free access TO the sea"
Referring TO the development OF
Russian trade, the former Foreign Min
lister said:
america and England have declared
several times their intention to develop
trade relations with Russia and to in
crease their export of goods to the
Russian market. All talk by our enc
mics that we shall find ourselves un-
der the economic yoke of the English
and French has no basis.
at isn't the custom Of the English
and French to Cypress the countries to
which they are exporting goods. Ger
many's dream OF economic domination
in Europe is a lost hope"

See Endorsement of En-
tente Plan for Partition
of Dual Monarchy
DENY SMALL RACES
YEARN FOR CHANGE
Italians, Poles, Czechs and
Bohemians Satisfied with
Hapsburg Rule, Is Claim

Vienna, Jan. 29.-While the first in
stalment Of the Austro Hungarian
press treated President Wilson's
speech in the Senate in direct man.
ner. the editorial writers are now oe-
cupying themselves again with the re
ply Of the Entente powers TO the Amer
lean President. This is due largely 10
the belief prevailing in political CIR
cles here that Mr. Wilson favored the
peace terms of the Entente nations,
this impression being founded on the
Presidents remark in his Senate
speech that the Entente had been more
explicit in stating their terms than
had the Central Powers. Upon tins
sentence seems TO rest the general
idea that President Wilson is favorlng
the plan of the Entente countries for
the partition of the Austro- Hungarian
monarchy.
This opinion is held almost without
exception throughout the dual monar-
chy. as dozens of communications adj
dressed by Austro-Hungsrian organi-
cations to Foreign Minister Czernin
show. These documents, while men
tioning only the plan of the Entente,
are directly in answer 10 President
Wilson, as many references to Tor
eign ignorance" concerning the primer
pie of the Aastro-Hungarian State IN
dicate.
Racial Units Protest
The communications came from
Croatians, Slovenians, Slovacs. Poles
Bohemians and Italians, being as
rule the expression of some political or
purely social club. All point out that
the smaller races, which are considered
subject races abroad, are IN reality
IS much a part of the AuStro-hun
garian monarchy as what are termed
the dominant races, like the Germans
and the Magysrs.
Stress generally is laid on the fact
that the smaller races making up the
monarchy are Joined to the German
and Hungarian main groups by reason
of historical evolution. of which fealty
70 the Hapsburg dynasty, economic
necessity and the community Of politi-
cal interests are the main factors.
Ii is contended that the war aims
Of the Entente involve dissolution Of
the dual monarchy, which would
create a condition which the Entente
ostensibly intends TO eliminste-nane-
ly, that Austrian Italians and Slove-
mans living in the same districts would,
if annexed by Italy, pass under a really.
foreign government, becoming part OF
a country with which they have had no
historical associations or common in
terests.
Polish expressions point out that
Austrians and Poles would pass under
Russian aboslutism, while Austria, on
the other hand, has maintained in the
past a liberal government IN Gaiclss'
which is now to have complete sell

The Czechs and Slovaes express SIM

Czechs upon the fact that Bohemia

that separate state Of Bohemia, could
