TEUTON DOVE A vULTURE.
Of Borderlands Arowed
as Aim in Boomerang Terms.

London, Jan. 4.-The Teuton Cam.
)uhaged" peace clause, which by its
phraseolosy pledges the central pow
ers against annexation, but in spir,
aims at swallowing five Russian
5orderlands, came back to Berlin ant
Vienna, as boomerang.
Affixed to it was the verdict CT
the Russian people passed by SOL
emn executive session of the all-pow-
erful, all representative council OF
workmens and soldiers delegates. It
reads:
"This will never be accepted by the
Russian revolution"
Along with the boomerang came 4
message from Foreign Minister Trot-
ky, addressed to the German and
Austrian peoples. 1t called the Teu-
ton terms 'hypocritical and sounded
this appeal:
"An immediate Democratic peace
rests with you. You compelled your
governments to accept the principle
Of no annexations or indemnities. Now
compel them to keep their word.'
And from the Russian army, still
100000 strong, came war-like as
surances to the Soviet.

Every utterance from Lenine: and
Trotzky and their fieutenants, every

keynote:
Russia is striving for a real, gen.
eral, Democratic peace and will not
let herself be duped.
At last accounts from Berlin, Dr.,

Minister, was ready to return to

Last Night.

LuSG
New York, Jan. A Twentieth
Century Grip is dead at her home IN
Harrison, n. j., and her "oid-fash-

resented the restraint imposed upon
her by her father, Emil Gennele.
Mr.. Gennele retired from business
with a comfortable fortune several
years ago, and has been living at los

1t was the fathers ambition TO
give his only daughter 4 college ed

was permitted to go TO work IN a
Newark department store through
the influence Of her father. Often
for week at time, it was said last
night, she failed to come home, giving
IS an excuse for her absence that she
was staying with friends. Recently
she had been at home regularly, but
her father had 4 suspicion that she
was not at her work and went TO the
store to investigate.
He learned that she hadn't been at
work for several days, having re-
ported that the illness Of her mother
detained her at home. Last night
the rest Of the family were at dinner
when she entered. Apparently in
