TO SAVE kAISERISM
Sole Purpose of Stockholm Socialist
Peace Meet Says Lincoln Steffens

Petrograd, May 16.-"Germany is
working. not for peace, but to save
kaiserism, in the effort she is exert
ing thru certain of her Socialists for
success of the Stockholm Socialists
peace conference in June"
Lincoln Steffens, known to America
as an editor. publicist, liberal of deep
convictions and a reformer with a rec
ord of achievement voiced this warn
ing to his fellow countrymen today, in
an interview with the United Press.
Russians Promoting New Conference.
Americans should not confuse such
a conference with the one which Rus
sian liberals are trying to arrange for
the future. The Russian meeting IS
now being planned in detail. Delega-
lions will shortly go from Russia into
England France and Italy endeavor-
ing to persuade allied Socialists to
gather and discuss peace terms.
To-day the Russians do not want
to fight until the terms of the allies
secret treaties are published They
are determined not to fight for the ag-
reimbursement of Russia, nor of any
other nation
THAT is why a majority OF the
members of the provisional govern
ment want the United States to help
persuade the allies to publish the
terms of their secret treaties.

He Says People Must Follow
Example of Russia.
HOLLWEG HURLS DEFIANCE
Chancellor Says No Enemies
Can Force Him From Position.
Does Not Believe England OF
France Want Peace.

Berlin, May I6.-The cry for re
public for Germany was raised in the
reichstag Tuesday by the radical So
ctalist leader. Doctor Ledebour 1t
was backed by the whole Socialist mi
nority Ledebour announced that the
German people must follow the ex-
ample Of Russia in starting a revolu-
uon. and that his party would take
steps 90 that end. Tumultuous scenes
followed. It was the stormiest session
the reichstag has seen since the war
began.
Doctor Ledebours speech came
shortly after the imperial chancellor,
Doctor Won Bethmann-H oIlweg, had
announced:
First-That Germany Will make
known her terms Of peace when her
military chiefs nave concluded their
operations-not until then.
Second-That Germany is ready and
willing to consider separate peace with
Russia.
The first statement was defiance to
the conservatives and Socialists. whose
interpretations the chancellor was
scheduled to answer.
The second met with general ap-

DOUBLE CORN ACREAGE
Nebraska Planting More Than Twice
as Much as Ever Before.

Lincoln, Neb., May 16.-More than
twice as many acres of corn are being
planted in Nebraska this year as ever
have been planted in this state before
according to o. G.. Smith, president
of the Nebraska Farmers congress.
The farmers are getting it planted
without extra help from the city
Smith said.
Barring some unforeseen calamity,
Nebraska will produce yield of corn
this season that will astonish the
world.
The big need for help on the
farm is coming soon," he said, for it
will take from two to three times as
many men to cultivate and harvest
this great crop than was taken to
plant it. The cities have promised
help and on the strength of that
promise the farmers are launching
what is by far the most ambitious
planting that the state has ever
known"

Will not disturb the permanent rela-
rionship in the future and will not rem
der its development impossible by de-
mandS which, indeed. do not accord
with the freedom of nations and would
deposit in the Russian nation the germ
of enmity. CThurderous applause.)
I doubt not that an agreement aim
ing exclusively at a mutual under
standing could be attained which ex-
cludes every thought of oppression and
which would leave behind no sting
and discord.'
Two Big Surprises.
Two surprises struck the reichstag
like bombshells- The first came when
the chancellor spoke in hostile, al
most contemptuous tone of Philip
Scheidemann. the Socialist majority
leader. Germany, and the world at
large, had come to believe Scheide-
mann was the chanceIIor's friend and
helpmate, especially in the separate
peace propag anda.
The second surprise was Scheide-
mann's speech Like Ledebour he
warned of a revolution, tho. unlike the
radical leader, he refrained from
threatening
IF France and Great Britain re-
nounce annexation" shouted Scheide-
mann. and Germany insists thereon,
we shall have a revolution in the
country"
Ledebour concluded his bitter at
tack thus:
I'VE must soon introduce a republic
in Germany, and we shall propose
that the constitution committee take
preparatory steps in that direction
The main difference. between the
speeches of the Socialist majority and
minority spokesman was that the
former attacked the conservatives
(junkers) while the latter called the
chancellor one of them and de-
nounced him and the whole govern
ment as well as the imperial system
Scheidemann alluded to the con-
servatives as "a nationally organized
gang of robbers" Jeers and cat calls
from the conserva tives and other par
ties greeted this.
A Storm of shame"
When he warned of a revolution
there was another uproar.
A storm of shame shame de-
seconded upon him. President Kaempf
called him to order. Scbeidemann re-
sumed along the same lines, tho in a
somewhat moderated tone.
The chancelIor's speech. for the
greater part. was a defiance to his foes
within the empire and to Germany's
enemies. The point he seemed most
anxious to make clear was that he
was in complete accord With the mil
ftary chiefs.
NO pressure either from deFT
Scheidemann or Herr Roesicke will

mann Hoilweg with raised voice. II
shall not allow myself to be led a&ray
by utterances from Scheidemann. who.
at a time when drum fire sounds on
the Aisne and at Arras. believed he
could spread among the people the
possibility of a revolution. The Ger

.demning such utterances and also

RUSSIANS WARNED
BY SOLDIERS AGAINST
A SEPARATE PEACE

Petrograd, May 1.-THE following
is the text in part of the manifesto
to the Russian army issued by the
Council of Soldiers and Workmen' 5
delegates, urging the continuance of
war and declaring that 4 separate
peace is impossible:
We speak to you in the name of
the Russian revolutionary democra-
cy. The people do not wish the
war, which was begun by the en-
perors ard capitalists of all coun-
tries and therefore after the abdi-
cation OF the czar, the people con-
sidered it urgent to end the war as
rapidly as possible. Do not forget
that the regiments of William are
destroying revolutionary Russia Do
not forget that the loss of free Rus
STA would be a catastrophe not only
to US bur to the working classes of
the entire world. Defend therefore,
revolutionary Russia with all your
power.
Russia long for peace, but it must
be general peace of all nations,
the result of their common agree
ment- a separate peace is an i'm
possibility. It is evident that Ger
man Imperialism, after having de-
feated our western allies, would
turn against us the whole power of
its arms. seize our country and en-
slave tn Russian people
The Council of Soldiers and
Workmens delegates leads you to-
ward peace in another way. BY
calling fer a revolution of the work
men and peasants of Germany and
AuStria-Hung ary-we will lead you
to peace after having obtained from
our government a remuneration of
the policy of conquest and after de-
handing a similar remuneration
from the allied powers But do not
forget, soldiers and comrades, that
peace cannot be achieved if you do
not check the enemys pressure at
the front"
The manifesto concludes with an
appeal that fraternizing with the Ger
mans cease.
