PEACE FARLEY FUTILE
Scandinayians Set Forth Terms I'm
acceptable to Other Nationals.

Stockholm, May 2G.-Scandinavla's
Socialists announced their suggestions
for peace yesterday. They were:
Re-establishment OF Belgium, Ser
bia. Montenegro and Rumania as sep
arate entities.
The future of Alsace-Lorraine to be
left for settlement on the basis oil
the national right of free action.
Bclligerent parliamentary assem-
blies to be requested to work for
speedv peace, general disarmament
and establishment of a court Of arbl-
tration.
Publication of this outline served
70 direct attention again to the
scart likelihood of any sort OF
agreement in the Socialists dellber-
ations here, as well as the failure OF
the plan for any general conference.
The Bulgarian Socialists are de
handing DobrudJa ana M"Ieuo'''''
FOR Bulgaria-not rs ''annexatlons,'
but as return of territory rightfully
Bulgaria's through original owner
ship"
No French Socialists are expected
here. but those who know their
views insist they will adopt the
same argument in demanding re-
turn of .Aisace- Larraine.
No Austrian, Turkish or Bulgar-
ian Socialist delegate was willing
today to commit himself on the mat
ter and the only word obtainable
from German majority Socialists
was that they were merely willing
TO discuss" il.

ing trade to all occupations in which
women are employed.
Four thousand bank clerks, most OF
them women, met yesterday morning
at the Labor Exchange to plan CAM
paign for higher wages. Most OF them

Branches of the principal banks OF
Paris were closed for snort time IN
consequence of this meeting, but not

strikers demands. 1t is generally
understood these women deserve high

women employed in various clericai

only for their delegates to confer with

There have been no disturbances

State Department, accompanied by
Meyer London, Socialist Representa-
tive from New York, and had con-
ference with Secretary Lansing.
He was refused, and Representa-
tive London declared he would bring
the matter to the attention OF the
House. That refusal to grant pass
ports would place the United State;
in queer light before the world
was the gist Of Mr. Berger,s argu-
ment. Secretary Lansing stood or
the position made public by the State
Department two days ago.
The Department is known to view
the conference as a move on The
part Of Germany to bring pressure
on Russia for separate peace. Pun
norting to be neutral, the department
is believed to have proof that the
sessions really are the brain chila
If the German government anu were
organized and will be directed ~
that government.
Berger came to Washington as
representative OF the committee APP
pointed by the American Socialists
% represent them at Stockholm. The
ctbor members are Morris HillQult
and Algernon Lee, Of New YORK
The State Department has warned
! that any American already abroad
who participates in the conference
will make himself liable to prosccd-
ton under the Logan act when ne
returns. This law, almost a century
! old, prohibits an American dealing
with foreign governments on inter
national matters under discussion
nv the State Department, or IN when
the United States is involved.

Realizing the loss of all Of Turkeys
fighting power, 5000 Austrian troops
have recently been sent to Palestine
to attempt bolstering up of the army
in front of the British eXpendltlon-

bridges in Constantinople While
hundreds in this city are dying each
day.
Typhus is sweeping over the whole
country, the reports declared. Ger
man and Turkish sanitary and mcdi-
cal commissions are fighting the
disease in all the larger cities, but
many important personages have
succumbed to the epidemic, including
the German consul general at Con-
stantinople, DR.. Damas.
Compulsory bathing has been de-
creed in all the cities. Soap no
longer exists, because all oils and
fats have been exported from Tur-
key to Germany. German army or
ders recently forbade soldiers from
mixing with civilians. The deserters
from the Turkish army, 100000
strong, are said to have fled into The
Anatolan mountains and to be cX-

Turks are depositing their money

because of the singing Of a whippoor-
will and shot the bird after threat
ening his wife with the gun when
she tried to interfere.
Schweimler admitted killing the

other household utensils at him and
that she tried to live beyond the
