Morse Papers Denounce
Murder of Neutrals
In North Sea Raid

cuRISTIANIA, Oct. 22.-The Nor
wegian newspapers bitterly denounce
the "murderous attack" of the Germans
in the convoy action last week in the
North Sea. The newspapers in Bergen
where survivors Of the attack were
taken. demand the deportation from
Norway of all Germans employed by
the German General Purchasing Agency.
These journals call the attention OF
tho authorities to the danger TO NOR
weeian trade from this German gang
not only now, when many OF them are
common spies, but also in the future.
The Christiania newspaper, "Nerdens
Gang" says the affair was characters,
tic German brutality and exceptional
covardicc. The newspaper adds that
the Germans, having put the British
warships out of the game, acted against
neaceful merchantmen as though they
were the entire British navy.

Soviet's Declaration of
Aims IL Held as "Wholly
Unsatisfactory"
GermanyWell Favored
Plan to Restore Colonies to
Teutons Arouses Ire of
London
By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, Oct. 22.-The Soviets
declaration Of peace aims is wholly
unsatisfactory to the British. ~ they
bring together nothing else. they have
at least succeeded in producing some
extremely frank comments.
Britain prefers to think that the
Soviet does not speak for Russia and
that therefore the terms may be dis
missed as those of the Independent
Labor party here would be. but others
who admit that the Russian democracy
and Soviet are interchangeable make
no effort to conceal their hearty dis
approval OF the Russian attitude tow
ard Germany.
The Liberals try to make the best OF
the Soviet's suggestions and point out
gently how Utopian the whole thing
seems. but some of the bitterest wave
them aside brusquely, with a few OBJ
servations about gratitude and honor.
Naturally. the one suggestion, not 10
mention Belgium, AlsaceLorraine and
Serbia. which annoys the British. re-
fers TO the restoration of the German
colonies.
On this point "The Pail Mall Ga
zette" says:
"'The Soviet talks lightly Of restor-
ing Germany's colonies. Do they really
understand that in so doing they are
suggesting that the peoples of these
colonies shall again be in slavery and
that the adjacent colonies shall once
more have the Prussian for a neigh
Dor? Then, with regard to the Euro
pean situation, does Russia suppose
that three long years of bitter sucer,
ing are to 90 for nothing and that
victims of German oppression are not
to be released from the German OPP
pre.sor"
Tne chief value Of the Soviet's dec
laration, hardly single detail OF when
is approved here, lies in the fact that
IL helps to clear the atmosphere and
shows that something of disagree
ment exists to-day on the whole ques-
ton OF peace. Conditions have changed
so materially since the Allies made
their reply TO the Presidents note that
their aims are no longer the same.
Until they come together on common
policy it hardly seems reasonable TO
expect they will listen to the enemy's
offers.
No conference of war should be pro-
ductive of more good than the coming
gathering, at which America will be
represented. The Soviet also intends
sending representatives to the con-
ference.

Allies Diplomats Here
Are Greatly Depressed
By Reports From Russia


WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-State De-
partment officials said to-day that any
predictions concerning the possibility
OF new effort by Germany TO obtain
a separate peace with Russia as a re-
suit Of the unfavorable situation now
prevailing in Russia would be pure
speculation. II was stated that infor-
nation from Petrograd was meagre and
that all reports from Ambassador Fran
els were several days old.
At the Russian Embassy there was
reluctance 70 make public any Of its
advices from the Provisional Govern
ment. and officials would venture no
comments upon the outcome Of the
present situation. Prior TO to-day
there had been a notable optimism at
the embassy ever since the defeat Of
the Bolsheviki in the recent demo-
cratic conference in Petrograd. The
full influence OF the Bolsheviki. how
ever, has not come 10 a decisive test,
but this is expected following the proc
lamation OF their peace resolutions.
Russian officials here have consist
emily disparaged the influence of the
Bolsheviki over the Russian popula-
ton, asserting that they were in a
small minority and attributing their
several successes, including control Of
tho Council of Workmen's and Soldiers
Deputies, TO their tremendous activi-
ties.
There was noticeable in Entente cir
cles to-day considerable depression
over the Russian situation. One diplo-
mat declared that things appeared TO
be going from bad TO worse, sscribing
the cause of his pessimism TO Premier
Kerensky's reflection upon the Russian
army. Diplomats said that they looked
for an early denouement in the Rus
sian political situation, holding that
the decision would be determined by

Says Britain Can't
Censor Lincoln Statue

LONDON, Oct 22.-The acceptance
by the government Of the statue OF
Lincoln from the American donors for
erection in trent of the houses OF
Parliament was again the subject OF
questions in the House of Commons
to-day.
Sir Alfred Mond. First Commissioner
OF Works, repeated that he did not con-
slider he should interfere with the Sc
lection made. it had not been the
custom. he said, for the First Commits,
sioner OF Works to enter into formal
consultation with any one as to the
artistic merits of statues to be erected,
nor did he know how such consultation
could be effective, considering the
widely divergent views held in matters
CT art.
The discussion refers to George Grey
Barnard's statue Of Lincoln, widely
criticised in this country for Its un-
couth characteristics.
