Teuton Action Expected.
No surprise is felt in diplomatic
circles here at the speedy acceptance
by Germany and Austria of the
Lenine proposals. 1t had been assum-
ell that with no intention whatever
of accepting any Of the substantial
demands of the Bolsheviki, the Ger
man and Austrian chancellorles would
not miss this great opportunity TO
eliminate Russia as an offensive mill
tary force for the many DAYS weeks
or even months during which the
skilled German diplomatists might

mistice and peace. In the meantime.

Must Neutralize Scheme.
II will be for the inter-allied con-
ference in Paris to devise some means
of neutralizing this German scheme.
possibly by influencing the Bolsheviki
element itself through an exposition
Of the duplicity and real aims of the
Germans or by recourse to the ele
ments in Russia represented by Gen
eral Kaledines and other leaders who
have refused to acknowledge the con-
troll of the maximalists
The letter or Lord Lansdownc,
suggesting moderation of allied war
aims which has aroused such a bitter
feeling in England, may, in the opin-
ion of some of the diplomatic officials
here, prove powerful factor in keep
ing the Bolshevik within the entente
allied circle by letting them perceive
that their own doctrines regarding
peace are not lacking in support
among entente statesmen.

Comparative quiet prevails along
the battle fronts. except for heavy
tombardments on various sectors.
Even on the Italian front the fierce
engagements by infantry, in which
the men often cal.b'nto hand ~to-hand
encounters, have turned into duels
with the big guns in the hilly region
north of the Venetian plain and along
the middle and lower Piave river.
Around Cambria on the French
front, where last week the British
forces under General Byng made no.
table advances toward the important
railway junction, virtual quiet prevails
so far as the infantry is concerned,
except for an attack by the Germans
near Gonnelieu, at the southerly base
of the salient formed by Byng's ad-
vance. No details have been received
regarding this attack.
In Palestine, on the line extending
from the northwest or Jerusalem to
the sea, the Turkish forces facing the
troops under General Allenby | are
showing consid srable activity, but as
vet have made no maneuver in the
nature of a general attack. Several
local fights have taken place. how
ever, and these, according TO General
Alllenby. have resulted favorably to
his men.
Austria Favors Peace.
Following Germany's announced
Willingness to treat with the Russian
Bolsheyiki for an armistice having as
its purpose ultimate peace, comes the
statement that Austria Hungary Is
likewise disposed, Already the gov
ernment of the dual monarchy has
sent an official reply accepting the
present Russian governments wire
less proposal for negotiations. Unof-
ficial reports say that the Russo-Ger
man plenipotentiaries will meet al
noon Sunday on the northern Russian
battlefields and thence proceed by
train to the German headquarters at
Brest Litovsk to discuss the Bolshe-
Wiki project.
The letter of the Marquis of Lans-
downe, one of Great Britain's leading
statesmen, pleading for restatement
OF the war aims of the entente allies
and favoring an attempt to secure
peace before "the proiongatiQn of the
war leads to the ruin of the civilized
world" is still the theme for bitter
discussion in England. Lord Rober.
Cecil, the blockade minister, and An
drew Bonar Law. chancellor of the
exchequer both have stated that the
views of the marquis were not those
of the British cabinet At a meet
ing of the unionist party, Mr. Bonar
Law repudiated the Letter of the Mar
quis of Lansdowne, describing it as
disaster" while the meeting in a
resolution condemned the utterances
of the marquis.
Units of the national guard from
all the states in the country have ar
rived in France. Some of the men
already are in training In sound of the
guns on the battle front.

Washington, Nov Capitalization
of the danger of causing a reaction in
Russia favorable to the central pow
ers by intervention in the political af-
fairs of the new democracy, has
caused administration officials here
to sound a note of warning against
hasty condemnation of the Bolsheviki.
\ Back of what is described as a toll
Grant policy in dealing with Russia
is apparent not only a purpose to
demonstrate faith in the ultimate
stabilization of the democracy, but
a hope that theS extremist element
which is in control of the government
will refrain from violating Russia's s
treaty pledges to the entente allies
and make a separate peace. So long
as there is a possibility that these
overtureS will fail because of the ap-
parently irreeoncllable differences be-
tween the Bolsheviki peace scheme
founded on mo annexations and no
indemnities' and the German de-
mands for compensation and "ade-
quate safeguards for the future" 1t is
regarded as bad policy to exert any
pressure from the outside at this
stage.
Would Cause Resentment
To do so, 1t is believed. would only
tend to cause resentment in Russia
and to solidify the various elements
around ,he Petrograd regime.
An additional reason for maintain
ing an attitude of watchfulness and
reserve in Washington is found in
the fact that to meet just such a sit
uation as is developing in Russia is
one of the purposes of the inter-allied
conference assembled in Paris. There
are intimations that suggestions have

' Excess Profits.

Washington, Nov. 80. - Congress
will have to authorize early in the
session convening next Monday means
of collecting from the American peo-
pie between now and July / about
five billion dollars in addition to the
$3,666, 100000 from liberty bonds al
ready authorized but yet to be issued,
the billion dollars or less expected
from war savings campaign and about
three billion dollars from war taxes.
Most congressional leaders believe
the five billion dollar balance must
be provided principally by issue of
bonds, and Secretary McAdoo has told
members of congress that he heartily
favors this method. Ii this plan is
finally adopted, the country probably
will be called on to absorb two more
big liberty bond issues between Feb
ruary | and July | aggregating more
than $500, 900, 900.
Another big finance question which
will receive the early attention of con-
gress is the continuance OF loans to
the allies. If the present rate of ex-
tending credits to the allies is con-
tinued the seven billion dollars au-
thorized credits will be exhausted by
July ! and congress will have to de-
eide whether to continue the loans
after that time. Six billion dollars will
be required for the fiscal year begin
Eing next July 1, II the rate of a
half billion dollars a month is kept
up.
Difference of Opinion.
Wide difference of opinion exists in
congress over the question of whether
the bufl1 of the five billion dollars
should be raised by taxation or bond

WALKOUT TIES UP
 SLOAN YARDS IN OLYMPIA

OLYMPIA, Nov. 22.-Not a wheel turned today in the Sloan shipyards as a result of a strike vote taken last night by $50 members of the ship workers union. The strike is the re- suit of the failure of the company to come to terms with unions over the proposed increase wage scales.
 Philip D. Sloan, president of the company, who Is in the east, telegra- phed today offering to meet the con- ditions proposed by the caulkers but the caulkers refused to return to work until all of the unions are satisfied.
 The Ward yard has been shut down for several weeks because of dificul- ties over wage scales.
 Last August the unions called a strike in both yards and returned to work under an agreement that when the majority of the yards in the Pug ct Sound district adopted the union scale. the Olympia yards would pay it dating from August 1. Last Friday the union committee waited on Capt. Raymond, superintendent of the Sloan yard. and asked for the immediate adoption of the higher wage scale. claiming that a majority of the yards are paying 1t.
 Capt. Raymond agreed to the scale and informed the men that they would be given a weekly payday if they wanted. When the men asked for their cheeks at the end of last week. how ever. the weekly payday had not been adopted. This brought the trouble to head and they refused to wait for Nr. Sloan's return. The men also claim that the back pay from Aug. l, according to agreement. is due.
 Mir. Sloan Is expected to return from the east soon to settle the diff nculty.

cNs " '.
 WASHINGTON. p. c., Nov. 22.- Dudley Field Malone, who resigned hfs' job as collector of the port of New York to act as attorney for the militant suffragists who have been l'cxeting the White House, shnoure- so that he Is going to sue the Provi- 1ence Journal for libel as soon as he gets through campaigning.
 He says the libel was in charging that he left the collectorship job "be- cause the government could no long CT tolerate his methods in the con- duct of that office or continue to overlook his constant and inexplic- able dragging into the service of his dangerous alien enc mies."
 Malone Denies Responsibility
 The Journal article printed yester- day asserted that Malone, as collec- tor at New York, after the entrance of this country into the war, took into the government employ more than seventy dangerous alien enc. mics and put them to work in the engine rooms and elsewhere about German steamships seized by the gov eminent and being converted into troop transports. The Journal gives dates. names. addresses and details. From no source comes any denial of these facts, but MT. Malone denies responsibility for the hiring and de- nies that he was forced out of his job. No evidence is forthcoming that he was go forced.
 After the capture of the German ships in this port" seid Mr. Malone. everything regarding the employ! ment and use of men on board of those ships was done under the direct supervision of the shipping board and with the advice of the navy depart! ment."
 That puts it up to the shipping board and the navy department, and they vouchsafe no statement. The Journal says the alien enemies were discharged recently from government employ by order of the treasury de- partment. In part the Journal article says:
 Three men, all expert engineers from the Vaterlsnd, were permitted by Collector Malone to take charge of important work in the engine rooms of army transports, and were kept at that work, apparently with out any supervision, for months. The men were Fritz Heumans, August Coemans, ST., and August Coemans, jr.
 Fritz Standard, formerly assistant superintendent of the Hamburg-Am. erican line and one of the men known to be dangerous alien enemy. was allowed to work in the quartermast- CTS department on transports, with the same title, while enjoying not only a pension from the German govern. ment, but a part pension from the Hamburg American Company and oi course his salary from the United States government.
 -A ue west. Hoboken, a master mechanic in the employ of the Hamburg-Ameir' icah line, with naval rank from the German government, was permitted by Collector Malone to undertake the work of superintendent of inechanics on four of the largest American trans ports which were to be made ready for sea notwithstanding the fact tha,
