resentatives of the German, Aus

ernments are now trying to force
their peace terms upon Russia and
RoUmania.
A dispatch received from Berlin
today stated that the preliminary

armistice is being FASTENED.
The bolsheviki commissioners who
crossed the German lines are still
at Brest Litovsk.
The official news that Roumania
had concluded a truce with the
enemy caused no surprise here.
ROumanias position is serious, as
the greater part of the country was
overrun by German, Austrian, Bull
garian and Turkish troops and she
was relying mainly on Russia for
her defense in the event fighting
was resumed.
Contrary TO recent reports from
Petrograd that the bolsheviki gov
eminent headed by Nicholai Lenine
and Leon Trotzky was collapsing il
seemed today TO be stronger than
ever.
Bolsheviki forces were reported
to have gained control of the trans

Petrograd and Vladivostok, on the
Pacific coast.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S. - All OF
the machinery of government today
was moving towards completing the
work of aligning of all of the United
Statesmen, materials and money
against Austria. The same proceed
ure which marked the early days
Of the war with Germany was every
where being followed. Subjects of
Austria-Hungary have been made
alien enemies and are recognized as
such. They will be compelled 10 list
themselves with the United States
marshal in the districts where they
live. Such as are in zones not af-
fected by the 'closed sections" out
lined in the various proclamatiOns
of the president will receive permits
to continue their ordinary business.
others must move while still others
must be informed.
Austrians Remain Quiet.
The general situation so far as
officials here could learn today re-
mains unchanged. The alien en-
emies were keeping their mouths
shut" officials reported. Reports
from the secret agents of the United
States who have been watching the
larger communities especially those
in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Mime
sofa and Colorado, where subjects
of the Austrian emperor are in great
mum ers, indicate that the adoption
of the declaration Of war has been
accepted as a matter of course. The
Austrians themselves remain quiet
and many of them are reported as
openly declaring they are glad that
the step has been taken and that
they will support the United States
in the war in every posi- ble way.
This latter report is especially en-
phasized from the big Pennsylvania
coal centers where Austrians are in
thousands.
Speculation Unwisc.
With the Austrian situation out
of the way additional attention was
cast on the status Of Turkey and
Bulgaria. The statement made in
the debate on the war resolution in
both the senate and the house that
a separate peace with these two ma
ton was not out Of the question has
aroused deep interest. Administra-
ton officials have nothing to say on
this subject. They suggest that
speculation as to the means being
used, or even whether negotiations
actually may be in progress would
be most unwise at the present time.
1t has been known for a long time
that both Turkey and Bulgaria
were war weary. In Turkey espec-
tally the mass of the people have
opposed the war but have been held
in line by the large number of Ger
man officers and men that have been
amalgamated with the Turkish
army. Bulgaria has not been a fac
tor in the war for months. Her
minister here only a few days ago
called attention TO the fact that
Bulgarian soldiers were not fighting
on the western front nor in Italy
and declared that they would not
be.
If actual negotiations to remove
Bulgaria and Turkey from the war
are in progress it is considered like
~ here that they are being con-
Quoted through a neutral source and
that nothing official will be known
for some time.
