Bullets Talk

The only language the German
autocracy understands is that of
guns and bullets.
When you buy Liberty Bond
you talk to them in their own
language.
Buy bond with cash if you
have it. Buy it on time if you
haven't the cash.
But buy that bond.
Any bank or the Local Liberty Loan
organization will help you.

Would Make Peace With SlaVs
Without Demanding Expan-
sion of Territory.
RUSS DELEGATES ASK RECESS
Delay Necessary to Put Teutonic Pro
posaIs Before Entente Allies
Germans Want Guarantee.

Petrograd, Dec. 28.-The Central
Powers are ready to make an immedi-
ate general peace without compulsory
annexatiOns and without contributions.
This is their answer through Count
Czernin, the Hungarian foreign
minister, made on Christmas day at
Brest-L;tovsk to the Russian proposals
which they are ready to accept in most
particulars as the basis of negotia-
tions. They insist, however. that the
Central Powers cannot bind them
selves one-sidedly to such conditions
without a guarantee that the allies of
Russia will recognize and fulfill these
conditions.
sIavs Ask for Time
The Russian delegates asked for a
ten-day recess in the negotiations in
order to put the proposals before Rus
sias allies.
Count Czernin declared that the
Central Powers believe that the basic
principles uttered by the Russian dele
gates could be the basis of such a
peace. He said they share Russian
condemnation of a continuation of the
war for the sake of conquest.
1t is necessary to indicate most
clearly, however. the count added,
that the Russian proposal can be real
lied only in the event that all belli-
gerents obligate themselves to ad
here to terms Of such a peace.
The Austro-Hungarian foreign min
lister declared that the Central Pow
ers do not intend TO forcibly annex
territory seized during the war, nor to
deprive nations of political indepen-
dence lost in the war.
No Forcibie Annexation.
The question of the subjugation Of
nationalities who have no political in
dependence to another country cannot
be solved internationally, he said, and
must be met by each government and
its people in the manner established
by the constitution of that govern
ment The protection of the right of
minorities is an essential part of the
right of peoples to self-definition-
Gratified by German Generosity"
The chairman of the Russian dele
CATION expressed qualification at Ger
man willingness to make peace with
out annexations and indemnities and
with the self-definition as being in
complete.

NO PEACE WITH THE KAISER
The United States Government Will
Treat Only With Teuton People,
Washington Declares

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The condi-
lions surrounding Count Czernin's pro-
posals for a basis of peace cause Of
ficiaIs here to doubt their sincerity
There is a great disposition to feel
that the object Of the German pleni-
potentiaries is simply to protract the
negotiations as long as possible with
out any expectation of an immediate
peace agreement, with the double pur-
pose of leading the German people
to believe that their government
really is DESTROYS Of making peace
and of gaining time for the further
strengthening of the German lines
in the west.
One condition regarded as impOssi-
Bile, for the present at least, is that
the adherence of all belligeTents must
be secured to the peace the Germans
are trying to make with Russia before
it can become effective. This is &C
companied by a demand for the re-
turn of the German colonies now in
the possession of Russia's allies

PetrOgrad, Dec. Z4.-Leon Trotzky,
the Bolsheviki foreign minister, at a
meeting of the revolutionary organi-
cations assembled in congress today,
read documents and kilograms which
he declared contained evidence that
Americans were helping General Kale-
dimes, the leader of the Don Cossaeks.
Last night said Trotzky, I'VE
found that American agents in Russia
were participating in the Kaledines
movement We arrested Colonel Kol-
pashnikoff, attached to the American
mission to Rumania, who was trying
to get train load Of automobiles,
clothing and supplies to Rostov
Among the documents was a letter
from David R. Francis, American am
bassador TO Russia, requesting that
the train be given free passage, as it
was bound for the mission at Jassy-

Cross. We think that the American
ambassador must break his silence
now.
"Since the revolution he has been

Evidently he belongs to the Bismarck
school, in which it YVES taught that

We viii tell all the ambassadors,
If you think you can, with the help Of
American gold, under the guise of the
holy mission Of the Red Cross, sup
port and bribe Kaledines you are mis-
taken If you think that you are no
longer the representatives OF America
but private adventures the heavy
hand of the revolution viii reach out

Raymond Robins, head Of the per
manent American Red Cross mission
to Russia, on learning of the arrest
Of KoIpashnikoff, prior to Trotzky's
speech offered to explain the matter
to the Bolsheviki leader, but Trotzky
refused to hear him unless he came
as the representative of the embassy.
Mr.. Francis in statement to the Rus
sian press declares that the embassy
and the Red Cross are in no way in
vOlved in the cOunter-revOlution He
says that Kolpashnikoff received no
funds frsm the embassy.
