PROPAGANDlSTS BUSY TO
KEEP CHILE PEACEFUL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Evidence
Of organized German propaganda in
Chile, supported by almost every
try. has been received at the state
department, in the form Of a circular
issued by the German Chilean league
urging every member to do his ut
most to bring about delay in the
severance of relations between Chile
and Germany.
To carry on the work the meR-
bers of the league were appealed to
for money and for suggestions.
Monthly contributions were request
ed and all were urged TO submit for
publication such articles as they be-
lieved might be used in furtherins
the cause Of the central powers.
Branches Of the league have been
formed in Conception, Santiago, VAL
paraiso and other cities, and prop
uganda committee has headquarters
at Valparaiso.
The circular says the desire 10 re-
main neutral was gaining ground
throughout Chile and adds:
IF. through our propaganda. we
succeed in delaying the severance OF
diplomatic relations between Chile
and Germany. even should it be only
for a few weeks, we will help Ger
many and her allies 10 the extent
OF several millions. and we will
cause damage TO her enemies fol

would not shrink from using the
harshest methods against Rou-
manian counter revolutionary con-
spirators, the accomplices of Gen.
Kaledines. Lieut.. Gen. Stcherbat-
chef, commander of the Russian
forces in Roumania, and the rada,
and also would not respect the po-
sitions occupied by the conspirators
of the Roumanian hierarchy.
The Roumanian legation in its
reply, which Trotzky considered
unsatisfactory, said the legation was
without information concerning the
events at Loevo, a town in Bessara-
bia on the Roumanian frontier,
which the Roumanians are said TO
have occupied. IT added that re-
Gently there had been conflicts be-
tween Russian troops on Rouma-
MAN territory which Roumania
deply regretted Further, the reply
said, entire Russian divisions, with
out awaiting methodical demObili-
zation, were pillaging and devas-
tating and even burning villages,
occasioning armed collisions and
endangering the lives of the Rou-
manian population. The reply con-
tinued:
In the interest Of the Russian
troops themselves, who are threat
ened with famine and in the inter
est of the Roumanian population
who were threatened with danger,
the Roumanian government was
obliged to intervene TO prevent a
veritable catastrophe and prevent
the disorderly and hasty demobili-
zation."
While not making the foregoing
a matter of protest, the legations
reply added the legation was
obliged TO say that the suffering
caused the Roumanian population
by the Russian troops were very
great and was only borne in silence
in view of the great interests in
volved and because of the desire to
preserve the friendship Of the two
allies. The reply in conclusion re-
ferred to Roumanian obligations TO
furnish grain for the Russian army
from ROumania's scant supplies,
compelling Roumania 10 obtain
stores from the Ukraine and the
Caucasus.

German Demands Held Unrea-
SOnabIe by BOISheViki
Leaders.

PETROGRAD. Jan. 9. - The
chances Of q separate peace between
Russia and the central powers being
effected seems remote. because Of
what are regarded as Germanys
Unreasonable demands. Leon Trotz-
Ky the bOlshevikl foreign minister.
and HIS associates take the stand
that the Baltic provinces are cOntin-
ually under military pressure while
they continue 20 be occupied by
Germany. and that their votes with
respect TO peace must be ignored as
now these provinces are virtually
German dependencies, the loyal
Russians having fled.
Demands are Amazing.

return from Brest-Litovsk Tuesday
laid before the council Of commits

mands. which caused amazement
and the declaration that the coun-
ell was not favorable 10 acceptance.
