Scandinavians Protest Against
Occupation of Finland
by Teutons.
ALAND ISLANDS ALSO SEIZED
Berlin Explains Action by Saying That
Military Operations Are to Wipe
Out Rebel Bands and
Restore Order.

Washington, March Germany
occupation Of the Aland islands is
only preliminary to the total occu-
patton of Finland.
Official dispatches to the Swedish le-
cation on Monday say Germany has
announced to the Stockholm foreign
office her intention to occupy Finland,
and that Sweden has protested.
Germany advised Sweden, the dis
patches relate, that it was necessary
to occupy Finland temporarily to re-
store order, but gave assurances that
she had no intention to take perma-
nent possession of the territory.
Sweden protested also against the
Aland islands being placed in the war
zone.
The occupation Of the Aland islands,
the messages say, is to make them a
base for supplying the German occu-
patton of Finland.
There are 500 Swedish troops on the
islands for police purposes. Their COM
mander was notified by the German
commander Of his intentions, and,
while so far there has been no clash
reported, the Swedish troops have not
been withdrawn, and the feeling Is de-
scribed here as being very tense.
The Russians have begun destroying

vostok.
While without details, officials here
believe the Russians are destroying the
bridges to prevent an expected adj
vance of Japanese troops.

Berlin, March BY reason Of the

Petrograd, March 5.-In the fear
that argument would result in even
more onerous terms, the Russian dele

the German peace conditions and is
about to sign an agreement, according
to a telegram from the delegates re-
ceived at the Smolny institute, the boil
sheviki headquarters. The demands
already have been increased, they re-
ported.
The message which was addressed to
Premier Lenine and Foreign Minis
ter Trotsky, follows:
''As we expected, deliberations on a
treaty of peace are absolutely useless
and could only make things worse In
comparison with the ultimatum OF
February 81. They might even assume
the character of leading to the pre-
sentation of another ultimatum.
I'm view of this fact and in conse-
quence of the Germans refusal to
cease military action until peace Is
signed, we have resolved to sign the
treaty without discussing it's contents
and leave after we have attached our
signatures. We, therefore, have re-
quested a train, expecting to sign to-

ITO detach the regions of Karaband,
Kars and Batoum from Russian ter
titory on the pretext of the right OF
peoples to seIf-determination."

The German socialists have not taken
kindly to the German governments
attitude toward President Wilson's
last peace message. During the de-
bate in the reichstag on Won Hertling's
speech Philip Scheidemann, socialist,
took the emperor to task for his reply
to the address Of the burgomaster Of
Hamburg, in which the emperor said:
eve desire to live in friendship with
neighboring peoples, but victory for
the German arms must first be rec
ognized.'
1.-THE imperial chancellor frankly
stated yesterday that he accepted
President Wilson'S four principles"
said Scheidemann. "This declaration
is all the more important when one
considers that President Wilson en-
phasized that his principles we're ac-
cepted everywhere except by the Ger
man military and annexationist party.
Well, this party, fortunately, is in this
country no longer Of decisive impor-
lance"
