GREAT GERMAN FLEET
APPEARS OFF REVAL

LONDON, February 22-(Associated
Press )-Forty-fv German war vessels
'and transports were approaching Rcval
on Wednesday thus threatening Petro-
grad more seriously than had even been
feared. Dispatches, from Petrograd
yesterday told of the large fleet and of
the landing of German forces at Reval,
far to the north and east Of Verder, the
terminal of the RevalPetrograd rail
way. The Germans are evidently NOV,
ing upon points along this direct road
to Petrograd from whence RevaI is two
hundred miles distant by direct rail
road.
At the same time this large fleet in
these waters may presage an attack by
sea upon Petrograd in cooperation with
a drive by land.
The London News Correspondent in
Petrograd reports that the offensive Of
Germany appears likely to cause an
overthrow of the present national coun-
ell and that it is reported Trotzky is
to resign.

AMPLE SUPPLY Or
SUGAR IS COMING
Food Administration Makes An

WASHINGTON, February 22-(As-

sugar will be available during the com
ing season is the assurance which was
yesterday given by the food admins
tration. This does not mean, however,
that economy in the use of sugar will
not have to be practised. 1t means re,
lief from the acute shortage from which
many parts of the country have suf
fcred.
The food administration admits
there is still a shortage of sugar in
sections of the country but sees re-
lief in reach. Lack of bunker coal
has prevented movements from Cuba
NJ had been hoped but Cuban ship
ments are now arriving at points north
of IIatteras with some degree of regu
larlty.
Reports have recently been current
that the international commission has
arranged for the purchase of 100000
tons of Java sugar and the report has
caused some dissatisfaction in Cuba
because of the fact the international
comm ission has taken only seventy Ave
percent of the Cuban crop and it is
feared the arrival of Java sugar would
"hrcak the price" on the balance OF
the crop.

other reports, from Berlin, of confrma-
ton in writing of the report of Rus

there were reports that the Bolshevist
forces would inaugurate a guerilla

IN VIZ LiN/IhM' iSot udiy L.
H-(Associated Press)-King
Charles of Austria, Emperor of
Austria-Hungary, determined to
bend the Austrian reichsrath to
his will and force it to pass the
government budget yesterday
threatened to assume the abso-
lutte control of Austria unless
they pass the budget forthwith.
He warned the members of the
reichsrath that unless they should
proceed with the adoption of the
budget he would prorogue that
body and make Austria an abso-
lutte monarchy without parlia-
mentary representation for the
time being at least.
DEMANDS MAJORITY
Opposition to the passage of
the budget and refusal to give it
the majority which King Charles
demands, has come from the So
cialist members of the reichsrathi
who have been insistent upon an.
early peace without annexations
or indemnities and who are spe4,
cially incensed at the course pur-i

war against Russia when Austria
desires a continuance of negotia-
tions while possibility of secur-
ing a peace treaty may exist.
UPRoAR AROUSED
When Premier Won Seydlet ad-
dressed the reichsrath Tuesday
the Czechs and the Slavs created
an uproar. They protested vehe-
mently the advance of German
troops into Russia and joined
with the Socialists in holding
back the majority required to
pass the budget in open protest.
Socialist leaders have called
public meetings to support their
demands for direct peace negotia-
tions. Yesterday they took di-
rect stand in favor Of the princi-
pies laid down by President Will
son Of the United States, presum-
ed to be speaking for the Allies
as we'll as for his own country
when he replied to the express
sions of war and peace aims of
Premier Won Czernin of Austria
Hungary and Premier Won Hert-
ling of Germany.
WILSON'S TERMS
In the reichsrath yesterday the
Socialist party submitted an in
terpellation to Premier Won Seyd-
Ter urging that Austria accept
President Wilson's expressions OF
principles as basis for an imme-
diate discussion of peace.
Possibilities of an early peace
with Russia which may abate to
some extent the demands Of the
Socialists for an immediate gen
eral peace have not entirely van
ished. Dispatches from Berlin
last night said that written con-
hrmation of the report that the
Bolshevist government is ready
to agree to the BrestLitovsk
peace terms submitted by Ger
many had passed through the

GERMAN AIR CONTROL
Army officials yesterday ex-
pressed surprise at the reports
that the Germans have control of
the air along the American front.
While it was not expected a suffi-
ciently large corps of American
aviators could be trained thus
early the army has believed that
those trained, together with the,
corps which France could fur
nish would give the preponder-
ance of air control to the Allies
on that sector, especially with
the air defense which the Ameri-
can contingent was expected to
have.
Secretary Baker refuses to
Countenance discussion Of the
matter.
INVESTIGATE UTILITIES
Investigation of power, light
ing and other public utilities by
the railroad administration has
the approval Of the President
where the stability of such utili-
ties may be threatened by war
conditions. Where it is founo
advisable a recommendation to
raise rates may be made by the
railroad administration. In this
way it is thought the frequently

control of such corporations may
be avoided
