GERMANY INSISTED

Baron Burian Tried to Get Berlin

Citing Dangers.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. June 24.-one of the prin-
cipal objects of the recent visit to
Germany of Baron Burian, the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister, was to
obtain consent for an indefinite post
ponement of the Austrian offensive,
the correspondent Of the Daily Mailsat

Baron Burian pointed out that fail

the threatening food problem and race
questions, might lead to the gravest
internal disorders, even revolution:
but If Austria were permitted to re-
main on the defensive the breadless
situation might be tided over.

No Real Advance Toward
Peace in Hertling Speech
Bv Associated Prsss


Washington, Jan. 20. - Based on
the short cabled outlines of the
speeches of the German and Aus
trian premiers to their respective
parliaments, the opinion is express
ed by officials here that no sub
stantial advance towards the final
peace sought by all belligerents, has
resulted from these declarations. 1t
is true that expressions of Count
Czernin, the Austrian premier, ap-
pear to be more conciliatory in tone
than previous utterances from that
quarter, but beyond vague state
ments that the possibilities of peace
negotiations are contained in the
addresses of President Wilson and
Premier LloA George. there is no
suggestion of surrender or any of
the extreme contentious of the mill
tary elements in the central states.
The German premier's address in
deed is couched in the language of
a victorious general and it Is noted
that no where does he specifically
abandon the claim for indemnity and
territory. In fact, from the cabled
abstract, it appears he has become
even more uncompromising and
militaristic in his position than he

"Dick" Kinnard Winning
Championship Honors

Another Harrisburg boy is making
good in the athletic world. He is L.
X. Kinnard, of Wynnewood, star
plunger of the Princeton swimming
team. He has been passing the sew
enty-foot mark all season, and is q
championship possibility.
Young Kinnard is the son of l.. II.
kinnard, of the Bell Telephone Com
pany, and prepared for Princeton at
HaVerford School, where he was a
member of the swimming team from
19l2 to 1915. He took first place in
the plunge at the Penn interscholas-
Tics In 1915, and upon entering Prince
ton Immediately earned for himself q
position on the, Freshman team. Last
year he was the foremost plunger on
the Varsity team, taking a number
OF hrst places and breaking the
the Bruonians at Providence, r. I. His
performance in the Penn tank a
couple of weeks ago, when the Penn
Standardization intercollegiate
meet was held, was somewhat of a
disappointment to the Tiger follow
ing, since he made only sixty-six feet
and six inches, but he has since ap-
parently recovered his form and is
daily reaching seventy-one feet.
Ktnnard is now representing the
Tigers in the plunge and has been
collegiate plungers. Against C. C. N.
Y. in the first Tiger meet of the sea-
son he made seventy-one feet and six
inches, performance which has caus-
ed many to believe he will capture
the collegiate title in this event when
tho intercollegiates are held at
Princeton in the spring.

INDUSTRIES MAY
NOT SPEED UP
TO REGAIN TIME
Day Loss of Fuelless Holiday
Must Not Be Made Up
During Week

Fuel Administrator Garfield to-
day wired Commissioner Palmer, of
the State Department of Labor and
Industry, that ANY increase of work
ing time on other days of the week
'by industrial establishments for the
purpose of making up the lost time
brought about by the fuel admins
tration order prohibiting work on
Mondays. is considered by the fuel
administrator an evasion of that
order and a violation of its spirit"
Mr.. Palmer at once issued this
ruling for guidance of inspectors and
made public this statement:
Many inquiries have come to this
department involving redistribution
of working hours for women as a re-
suit of the 'heatless Monday de-
creed by DR.. Harry A. Garfield, ma
tional fuel administrator.
The 'heatless Monday decreed by
the fuel administrator is not a PENN
sylvania legal holiday and conse-
quently the provision in section of
the woman's law, allowing overtime
employment by females two hours
per day for three days in a week in
which a legal holiday occurs, does
not apply to this case.
This department must enforce
the woman's law as it stands. It per-
mits women to be employed not more
than ten hours in any one day, nor
more than fifty-four hours in any one
week. No female may be employed in
any manufacturing establishment

Lithuania also the area populated by
The Ukrainians and White Russians
and further they want to cut into
territory of the Let's and separate
the islands populated by the Esthon-
lans from the same peoples on the
main land. Within this territory
Germany and Austria wish to retain
their reign of military occupation
not only after the conclusion of peace
with Russia but after the conclusion
of a general peace. At the same
time the central powers refuse not
only to give any explanation re-
garding the terms of evacuation, but
also refuse to obligate themselves
regarding the evacuation.
The internal life of these prov
irces lies therefore for an indefinite
epoch in the hands of these pow
ers. Under such conditions any in
definite guarantees regarding as ex-
preston of will of the Poles, Let's

sorry character. Practically it means
that the governments of Austria and
Germany take into their own hands
the destiny of these nations"

that the central powers were speak
ing frankly, stating that General

definition.

that the decision could have been
reached long ago regarding peace
aims if the central powers had not
stated their aims differently from
those expressed by General Hoff-
man."
DR.. Richard Won Kuehlmann, Ger
man secretary for foreign affairs, re-
pliec to Troszky. declaring in prin-
ciple that General Hoffman's aims
were the same as those advanced on
Christmas. Throughout the nego-
tiations, he said, the Germans had
kept in view the chronological boun-
darles but also the actual boundar-
les of the old Russian empire. Hel
said the central powers intended to
permit free self-definition, scoffing
at the theory that the presence of
troops would prevent this. Regard
ing evacuation, DR.. Kuehlmann said
that it must be taken up with the
self-defined govern
ments.
IF General Hoffman expresses the
terms more strongly" said DIR.
Kuehlmann, 1T is because a soldier
always expresses stronger language
than diplomats. But it must not be !
deduced from this that there is any
dissension between us regarding the !

Will Fight For Revolution
But Not For the Allies, So
Says BolsheUik Commander

London, Jan. 25.-Some of the
ambassadors at Petrograd are re-
ported to be comforting with refer
ence to formal Acknowledgement by
their governments of the 3olsheviki
government. 1t is not stated which
ambassadors are concerned and
there is no indication as to the de-
cision.
Among those killed or wounded in
the riots at Moscow on Tuesday
were many women and children, a
Reuter- dispatch from Petrograd re-
ports. A large procession of Bolshe-
wiki, with machine guns, armored
cars, detachments of cavalry armed
Red Guard and German, Austrian
and Turkish prisoners, arrived at
midday at Theater Square, where
thousands of spectators had assem-
bled for the celebration of the an
niversary of bloody Sunday" Two
revolver shots were fired. There was
a panic, with much wild rifle ana
machine gun shooting by soldiers
and Red Guards.
The Moscow Council of Work

that shots were fired against the
men in the procession from the win
dows of three hotels. The first vic

Machine guns were turned on the

from ourselves. Our allies care
nothing about our resolution. When

quite open to discussion. The
chancellor added that the finan-
cial position of all European coun-
tries after the war would probably
operate most effectively for the
solution of this problem.
Count Won Hertling contended
that Alsace-Lorraine was almost
purely German territory, which had
been severed from Germany by
violence. When Germany in 1870
claimed the land thus criminally
Wr''hg from her" it was not the
conquest of alien territory, the
chancellor declared, but what to-
utsy is called Instrumentation.
Agrees With Wilson
There is no difference between
Germany and President Wilson re-
garding the freedom of the seas,
Count Won Hertling said. He added
mat the thorough freedom of navi-
cation during time of war, as we'll
as in peace, was one of Germany's
main demands, it being eminently
important for future free naviga-
ton that England should be made to
rellngufsh her strongly fortified
points of support on international
sailing routes, such as Gibraltar,
Alden, Hong Kong and the Falkland
Islands.
Count Won Hertling said the eva
cuation of Russian territory was "A
question which only concerns Rus
sia and the central powers. COM
menting on the fourteen points in
the program for world peace set
forth in President Wilson's address
to Congress the chancellor said an
agreement could be obtained with
out difficulty on the first four points.
Regarding the fifth point mentioned
by President Wilson, the chancellor
said. some difficulties would be met
with. Germany never demanded the
incorporation of Belgian territory by
violence, the chancellor asserted. He
said the state of Poland would be
decided by Germany and Austria-
Hungary. When all other questions
had been settled, he added Germany

Zone System Of Coal
Distribution Is Planned
By Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 25.-A zone sys-
tenn of coal distribution. to be admin
istered by J. D. A. Morrow, was being
mapped out rapidly by officials of the
railroad and fuel administrations to-
day as the next step necessary to
speeding up deliveries by clearing the
traffic congestion.
Mr.. Morrow, organizer and secre-
tary of the National Coal Associa-
tion. who was put in charge of coal
distribution and apportionment by
the fuel administration last night,
will supervise all pooling and trans
portation arrangements. Formal an
nouncement of the details of the next
zone plan which also will be under
his control is expected shortly.
Officials expressed the belief that
the proposed system will prove effec-
tive in eliminating long and cross
hauls and make another serious coal
shortage this winter impossible.

was when he assumed office and
first addressed the Reichstag.
The remuneration by Count Czer-
min, the Austrian premier, of any
claim against Russia for indemnity
or annexation, 1t is noted, does not
extend to other nations. Consider
ing that Germany has undertaken to
dominate the Russian Balkan pro-
vinces and that the central powers
already have recognized the inde-
pendence of Ukraine, thus constitut-
ing buffer state between Russia
and Austria, in large part it is per-
ceived that Austria is making no
special sacrifice in this remuneration.
AS for Poland the declaration that
the population would decide its own
fate is read here in light of the ac-
ton already taken by the central
powers to set up a sham kingdom of
Poland, which in reality is nothing
more than a dependency of Austria
and Germany.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-01-25

compatible than they seemed. He
characterized the speech of Presi-
dent Wilson regarding war aims as
an important advance toward the
Austro- Hungarian viewpoint, which
contained some proposals in which
Austria Hungary would gladly join.
The Foreign Minister said the
population of Poland would reach its
own fate. The Polish nation must
not delay peace one day. If Poland
after the war wished to advance
toward Austria-Hungary, such an
advance would be welcomed.
Interpretation of the right of free
action of peoples had caused a diff
ference between Russia and Ger
many, said Count Czernin, but a
compromise must be reached. The
differences of view were not great
enough to justify abandonment of
the peace negotiations.
Regarding the difficulties attend
ing the peace negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk, he said, the publication of
the daily proceedings had caused
nervousness among the people be-
hind the front. Alluding to Presi-
dent Wilson's address Count Czernin
said:
Sees New Tone
'T acknowledge his tone is now
different from what it was when he
attempted by his reply to Pope
Benedict to SOW dissension between
the German government and the
German people, and this has been
of good effect.
There is no longer talk about the
autocratic suppression of the Ger
man people by the government and
his former attacks on the house of
Hohenzollern are not repeated"
A Paris dispatch quotes Count
Czernin as declaring that "I have
no intention to demand from Russia
a single meter Of territory or a sin
gle cent indemnity"

would be ready to discuss the ques-
tion of a League of Peace.
Asks New Proposals
The chancellor demanded that the
leaders of the nations at war with
Germany set forth new proposals.
The terms outlined by President Will
son and Premier Lloyd George con-
tanned certain principles which could
be accepted by Germany, he said,
but the concrete proposals were un-
satisfactory.
The chancellor declared Germany
did not wish annexations by violence
but that the question of northern
France would be discussed only by
France and Germany.
He asserted there could be no talk
of the cession of Alsace- Lorraine.
