Berlin Announces "Plan of u. S.
To Intern Many Germans"

Copenhagen. June Q. The CONT
mental Times" subsidized paper ap-
pearing in English in Berlin, prints as
n New York report a statement that the
American Senate has made arrange
ments to intern all Germans who ar
rived in the United States from Ger
many during the last three years.
Washington, June 9. The statement
attributed TO "The Continental Times
is obviously inaccurate. Germans IN
the United States. aside from being
prohibited residence without permit in
certain restricted zones, have been de-
rrived of none of their rights or priv
ileecs. and il is the announced inten-
tion of the government that they shall
be deprived Of none while they main
tain a peaceful attitude. No intern
ment is contemplated for any except
prisoners Of war or those who by their
acts may make il necessary.
The statement that new arrange
ments are being made to intern certain
classes is regarded as another evidence
Of the persistent campaign Of misrepre-
senting conditions in America to -
German people.

Sailors Threaten Force Un-
less He Is Imprisoned
at Kronstadt
May Go to Siberia
Towns Placarded with Leaf
let's Calling for Condign
Punishment

Petrograd. juno .. The demand Of
tho revolutionarics for the trial and
condign punishment Of Nicholas Ro-
manoff. tho former Emperor, and, m
the meantime, his subjection to re-
straint in prison. which at first was
made only by a handful Of irrespon-
sible extremists, is growing daily.
All Petrograd laughed at the resolu-
ton Of the Bolsheyiki, the faction led
by Nikolai Lenine, two days ago, de-
handing the transfer Of Nicholas TO
Krcnstadt or even to the Siberian
mines. But to-day comes official news
that the crews of the battleships Re-
public and Gangut and the cruiser
Diana. stationed at iielslngfors, had
adoptcd a resolution requiring the i'm
priSonment Of the former Emperor at
Kronstadt until he is placed on trial.
The sailors declared that If the demand
was rejected the warships would apply
force.
On Thursday Saratov was placarded
with red proclamations having the
same import, and to-day there are
being sold in the streets OF Petrograd
thousands Of leaflets inscribed; Trial
for Nicholas H.
As result of renewed defiance by the
Council of Workmen's and Soldiers
Delegates in Kronstadt, which yester-
dav declared that its resolution depos-
ing the Petrograd government still
holds good, the situation IS again ag-
gravated.
Two Cabinet meetings on the subject
we're held Yesterday and it was again
decided to take resolute action. The
Cabinet is informed that the fourth
feet at Kronstadt is entirely reliable
and attached to the Provisional Gov
ernment. and that the whole trouble is
due to the civil and military popula-
tion of Kronstadt.
Convinced Of its strength, the Cab
met late tonight issued a warning to
all citizens of Kronstadt that DEGREES
must be obeycd without qualification.

To Be Given Months
Training in France
Before Fighting
Will Take Field Guns
Part of Line u. s. Soldiers
Will Occupy Not Yet
Decided
From Tho Tribune Bureaul

Washington. June 9. General Per
hing will be followed by successive re
Inducements as rapidly as transporta-
tion facilities can be obtained accord
ing to reliable information to-day from
the War Department.
Factors that will enter into the de-
termination Of the time and number OF
men to be dispatched overseas are the
construction Of training camps, the ac-
tual training OF the national army and
the availability Of transports. These
forces will be supplied with American
heavy and light artillery and rihes'
with American ammunition and Amer
can equipment in every particular, with
the exception, possibly, of airplanes.
The necessity for supplying Ameri-
can guns. when II was originally be
licved French guns would be used,
arises from the inability of the French
TO turn out an adequate NUMBER. IL Is
necessary to replace guns every nun
dred days. and there will be constant
streams OF guns, munitions, foodstuf
and men flowing from the United
States TO France after the first large
urits are Off.
All the American troops sent to
France will undergo short period OF
preliminary training there before they
are actually sent TO the hring lne'
according to the accepted theory: Al
though the first men TO go Will he
trained and hardened. it will be ad-
visible, it was said. to have them thor-
ouchly acclimated. This period OF
preliminary training in Franco, 1t was
thought, would take about one month
and all forces going to France from
the United States will undergo H.
The general staff desires that Amer
can troops shall have at least SIX
months intensive training in the United
States before they are transported 10
France. II was regarded a. certain.
however. that no definite rule could
POSSIBLY be devised governing the pc
riod OF training before the men are
sent TO France.
General Pershing will take up with
Marshall JoiFre the question OF the
portion Of the French front the Ameri-
can troops will occupy. Marshal Johre'
according TO the present understand
ing. will represent the French war
Office in consultations with General
Pershing. although this system proba-
blv will not be nerpetuated.

Four Russian Regiments
Refuse to Obey Orders;
One Arrests Its Officers

Petrograd. June Q. Four regiments
Of the 7th Russian Army refused to
obey orders OF their officers to-day. One
additional regiment was reported to
have arrested ITS own officers.
Minister Of War Kerensky ordered
the arrest Of all responsible for the in
cident. They will be court martialed.
How much sanction the Austrian Gen
eral Rohr had in his amazing scheme
TO effect a separate peace between his
Austrian troops and the Russians was
the subject Of the greatest conjecture
to-day. Full details of the manner IN
which the peace proposal was made
were received at the War Office.
Three weeks ago General Rohr
selected two peace delegates from
every division Of Austrian troops on
his particular part of the front-l2O
men in all.
The delegates. according 70 papers
in possession Of the Russian War Of
fice, included an Austrian prince.
Early this week these 100 Austrians,
bearing white flags and blowing bugles,
advanced TO the Russian lines the
Russians respecting the white flag
front of the trenches. There the Aus
trian spokesman outlined the plan for
a cessation Of hostilities without wait
ing for mere governmental action.
III YOU want peace, 60 to Pctro-
grad" declared the commander OF the
Russian troops. He forbade his men
further discussing the matter, and sent
all the Austrians except the prince
and one other under a military escort
back to The Austrian lines.
on the two Austrians retained. the
War Office declared to-day. were found
papers including orders for every Aus
;rian regiment to effect q peace agree
mont with the opposing Russian regi-
ments.
From the care with which this Aus
trian peace idea had been worked out
and the fact that the Austrian general
was frankly named as one of the spon-
sors for the movement officials here
believe the whole plan was engineered
by the Austrian government.

thev enter into secret pourparlers with
the German leaders.
The council disclosed this attempt TO
make peace. and said that IN the tele-
cram the German commander proposed
TO show the armies "A way toward an
honorable peace and means OF ceas-
ing 10 wage war without a rupture with
the Entente Allies.
The delegates addressed the follow
ing appeal 20 the army:
THE commander In chief Of the Ger
man armies on the Eastern front has
sent TO our troops a wireless message
proposing 20 indicate TO them way
toward an honorable peace and means
for ceasiug 20 wage war without rupt-
ure with the Allies. The German gen
eral talks this way because he knows
that the Russian revolutionary troops
would reject with indignation any overt
proposal for "a separate peace.
"That is why the enemy commander
IN chief invites our armies 10 sepa-
rate armistice and proposes that we
should enter into secret pourparlers
with the German military leaders on
the Eastern front. In his wireless tele-
gram the German general declares tha'
d separate armistice does not oner
Germany any advantage. But this IS
untrue; for, IN speaking Of the mac
tivity Of the German army on the Rus
sian front. the German general forgets
what Russia cannot forget notably,
the Russian defeat on the Stokhod.
"The German general has forgotten
that the Russian troops know whittier
the divisions and heavy batteries are
being taken from our front. The Ger
man general has forgotten that We IN
Russia hear the sound OF the bloody
battles which are being fought on the
Franco British front. He has forgot
ten that Russia knows that the over
throw of her allies would mean the
overthrow of Russia and the end of her
political liberty
General Gurko's request for pcrmis-
sion to resign as commander on the
Western front has been answered by
an order from Minister Of War keren-
sky relieving him of his command and
appointing him general of division.
General Gurko's request was made
after Minister Kcrensky had issued an
order prohibiting the resignation OF
any officer.
