lyZed The government was forced to
accept the socialists demands as to
food, communal woman suffrage and
nonmlitarism Of war industries, and
thereupon most of the strikers return
ed to their work The trouble was
only partly allayed however, and the
radicals made further demands and re-
iterated their call for general peace
by understanding.
The Austrian masses are determined
that at least peace shall be made with
Russia, and If this is not done their
words and actions betoken revolu-
ton that will remove the dual mon
archy from the alliance of the central
powers. Germany Is awake to the
danger of this detection and the mill
tarists there are manlfesting great irri-
tation toward Austria because they
think Emperor Charles and his govern
ment have fostered democratic inter
nationalism.
The troubles of Emperor Charles
realm are aggravated by the attitude
Of Bohemia. At a great meeting In
Prague resolution was adopted de-
handing independence for Bohemia.
Hungary, also, is doing Its bit in the
general upheaval, having absolutely re-
fused to give cereals to either Austria
or Germany. The Roumanlan stocks
of grain are exhausted and the food
situation in Austria is most acute.

BY EDWARD w. PICkARD.

Encouraged by the growing strength
of the Fatherland party, the pan-Ger-
mans have thrown aside the mask they
have worn In their dealings with the
Russians and shown their true face,
At the last meeting of the delegates
at Brest-Litovsk before adjournment
10 January 20, General Hoffman told
the bosheyiki frankly that Germany
must have Courland and oil the Baltic
provinces, and that If Russia did not
consent the German armies would
move at once and within week would
occupy Reval When asked about the
territory south of Brest-Ltovsk, H0ff-
man replied that Germany would set
tie that only with the Ukrainians. The
request of the Russians for a recess
that they might consult on the Ger
man terms was grudgingly granted
with the assertion that no further post
ponements would be allowed
The Russian delegates thereupon
voted unanimously to reject the Ger
man terms and departed for Petrograd
to submit the question Of peace or war
to the congress of soldiers and work
mems delegates, with which the final
decision rests.
That the Germans are able TO carry
out their threats against Russia there
can be little doubt The bolsheviki
leaders realize their helplessness and
have issued "to all" an official wall
telling how they have been deceived
and how monstrous are the demands
of the Germans In Petrograd and
Moscow the bolsheviki are struggling
to maintain their power, putting In jail
large numbers Of their opponents on
charges of plotting a counter-revolu-
ton. and taking any other coercive
steps that promise to help them. IT
they can prevent 1t, they do not intend
that their principles of "self-definition
and personal liberty shall apply at
home. They promptly dissolved the
constituent assembly because they
could not control It's deliberations.
So loud has become the popular out
cry against the rule Of the bolsheviki
and so great the disorder In Russia
that German parliamentary leaders are
seriously questioning whether II Is
wise for the central powers to nego-
tiate further with n government that
may be swept away any day.
The Ukrainians. according TO late
dispatches. are proceeding amicably In
their negotiations with Germany and
Austria and are about ready to sign a
separate peace.

Stephen Birch is quoted as saying:
Notwithstanding the fact that the
earnings of the corporation have been
entirely satisfactory and its financial
condition excellent, the directors be-
lieve that. on account of the uncer.

sue an especially conservative policy
at this time, and to that end have
declared a distribution of 81 per
share for the quarter ending January
