Through A. Mitchell Palmer, alien

TEUT0NS FIGHTING
DESPITE TREATY
FORMAL PACT WITH RUSSIANS
IS "scRAP OF PAPER" TO FOE
WHO CONTINUE HoSTlLITlEs.
FINLAND SIGNS PEACE PACT

out German consent-Berlin- Prom.
ises to Secure Finnish lnde-
pendence.

London, March 8.-Despite the fact
that formal treaty Of peace has been
signed by the Teutonic powers and
the Bolsheviki government of Russia,
fighting continues at various points
along the eastern front.
That Germany considers the con-
vention she forced Lenine and Trot.
zky to sign as "scrap Of paper" is
evidenced by the announcement that
the Teutons have reached Jamburg. a
town 68 miles from Petrograd. The
report of the subsequent partial retire.
ment of the Germans does not lend
encouragement to the belief that fur.
ther invasion of Russia has been
abandoned.
Romanian Aid Demanded.
The text of the peace treaty signed
by Roumania serves, too, to snow
that the German powers are loath to
forego any conquests they make make
in Russia. One of the clauses of
the Russian treaty bound that coun
try to assist in the transport Of the
Teuton forces through Moldavia and
Bessarabia on their way to Odessa,
'the granary of Russia"
Not only are the Teutons advancing
against the domobilized Slavs, but the
Turks are also aggressors In Asia
Minor. Reports state that the Otto.
man troops are operating near Prebi'
zond on the southern shore Of the
Black sea.
Francis Fights Treaty Ratification
American Ambassador David. n
Francis has issued statement at Vol.
ogda warning the Russians that a
German victory means the return of
monarcnical conditions and advising
them not to ratify the treaty signed
by Lenine and Trotsky.
The Congress of the Soldiers and
Workmen's Council is meeting at Mos
cow and probably will decide on the
issue of peace or continued war. Con.
ditions of the old regime are reported
to have been restored in German
occupied territory.
Peace With Finland Signed.
Amsterdam, March S.-Official an
nouncement is made in Berlin Of the
signing of peace treaty between
Germany and Finland, and also of
trade and shipping agreements and
supplementary protest.
FINLAND, by the conditions Of the
treaty, agrees to cede no territory nor
grant territorial rights to any foreign
power without the previous consent
of Germany, who understakas To ex'
ert herself to secure the recognition
of Finland's independence by all the
powers.
Each party renouncesfcompensation
for war costs or damages. Negotia'
tions will start forward for trade and
shipping treaty. The Notifications OF
the Aland islands will be removed as
speedily as possible and regulations
will be adopted for the permanent
nonfortification Of the islands.

Washington, March S.-Troops and

Willie figures may not be published.
1t is stated positively that transpor'

the immediate situation as to ships

In view of this assurance that the

French offensive in 1916 started in
too early Guns and supplies could
not be brought forward to consolidate
all the ground the troops were able
to wrest from German control
'. Meanwhile there has been less dis

are observers here who have never
been convinced that the Germans
actually intended to attempt another
drive at the channel ports or at Paris.
To these officers, the admitted concen.

While much has been said, both Of
