London. Dec. 2l,-~H Is reported un-

Petrograd correspondent of the En-
change Telegraph company wires un-
der date of Thursday
1t has been impossible thus far to
confirm the unofficial report from the
petrograd correspondent of the EN-
change Telegraph company that tho
Germans have rejected the peace terms
of the Russians. but long distance
dispatch from the Russian semi Off
eial news agency reveals that the Boil
sheNiki realized how far apart were
their ideas from those of the Ger
mans.
No Peace With prussiarism.
The dispatch is an appeal to the So
cialsts of the central powers to bring
their influence to bear on their rulers.
II says that the Socialists in all coun-
tries must understand that between
the peace program of the workmen's
and soldiers delegates and the peas
ants delegates and that of the German
capitalists. land owners and military
generals there arc irrenconcilable con-
tradictions. II these two programs alone
brought us face To face. peace would
be impossible, because the Russian
people have not dethroned the mon
archy and the Bourgeoiso of their own
country only to bow down before the
monarchy and the Bourgeoise of am
other country.
Peace can only draw near when the
strong and decided will of the workers
of Germany and her allies makes itself
heard"

Buenos Aires. Dec. 2i.--As the re-
suit of the publication of the kilograms
sent by Count Won Luxburg. the for
mer German minister to the Berlin
essary to call out mounted patrols to
disperse crowds of people who de-
manded rupture of relations with
Germany
The mob which shouted Long live

with the mounted police in the Gale
Florida.
Hun Property Guarded.
Heavy guards again have been
placed over the property owned BY
Germans in the city and mounted men
also are guarding the office of the
newspaper La Union. for which Count
Won Luxburg obtained subsidy.
In political circles certainty is ex
pressed that congress will demand
legislation from the government re-
garding the state of affairs as exposed
| by the Won Luxburg kilograms.
People Demand Break.
The general belief is that the pub
! iication Of the documents will lead to
new demands for the severance of re-
| lations with Germany. congress hav-
ing already refused to sanction the
budget appropriation for continuing
| the Argentine legation in Berlin. which
| was insisted on by the organs Of Presi-
dent Irigoyen.
Street comment indicates that the
public is not satisfied with the gov
| ernment's statement which accom-
panied the publication Of the Won Lux
burg kilograms.

COTTON REGAINS
 PART OF LOSSES,
 NEAR HIGH LEVEL
Freight Rate to Liverpool Breaks All Previous Rec
 ords, $5 Per 100 Pounds

New York, June 22.-The cotton market today showed renewed strength and with new sellers prices regained about $9 of the recent loss, with October selling at 2620, an ad- vance of 103 points over last nights close, and carrying the market to within 40 points of the high records of Wednesday.
 Private reports indicating the con- dition of the crop even larger than the end of May, and absence of sell ing, featured.
 Liverpool advices said little pro- gress was made in the liquidation of outstanding contracts there today. Spot cotton, however, was reported in moderate demand, at an advance Of six English points, and the need of replenishing supplies abroad is sup posed to be shown in higher ocean freight rates.
 Room for about 2,000 bales was en- gagged here yesterday for Liverpool at S5 per 100, which is the highest rate on record.
 Members of the exchange here were informed the execution of large orders will be looked upon with dis favor by the clearing house associa- ton. The board of managers also has drawn a proposed amendment to the bylaws which would extend pen alties for any action against the well fare of the United States now imposed for conduct detrimental to the inter- est of the exchange.
