Demonstration by Rich in
Eastern Provinces Sought
to Impress Reichstag
Deputy Reveals Plot
He Tells of Esthonian's Pro-
test Against Proposed
Fate of Country
(Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The Ger
man military authorities are seeking
to persuade the privileged classes of
the Eastern provinces Of Russia to
stage demonstrations favorable to an
ncxation, according to a member Of
the Reichstag, says an official French
dispatch from Berne to-day. 1t states:
"The 'Chemnitzer Volkstimme' gives
interesting details concerning the in
tervention of Deputy Noske in the
principal committee of the Reichstag.
According to Noske, the military au-
thorities are trying to obtain from the
rich classes of the various occupied
countries Of the East, not only in Cour-
land and Lithuania, but also in Estho-
MIA and Livonia, demonstrations in IA
vor of an attachment of these prov
inces to Germany, so that the members
of the Reichstag may realize the real
sentiment of the countries
THE military authorities have for
bidden deputies to visit these provinces.
Parliamentarians of the different par
ties, notably of the Centre and National
Liberal party, had decided to spend
their Easter vacations visiting the Bal
tic provinces. They were informed that
very serious military reasons prevented.
"In reality it was because of political
reasons. The military would like in
these provinces to present the accom-
plished fact to the politicians Deputy
Noske brought to the principal budget
committee the declaration of the Estho-
nian delegate, who had been in Ger
many to ask the Emperor to accept the
crown OF Baltic state composed of
the provinces occupied by Germany.
"This man. said Noske, whom we
shall refrain from calling hero for
fear of his compatriots, begged me to
communicate to my colleagues in the
Reichstag the following note:
My fellow citizens have asked me
to bring to the knowledge of the
Reichstag the following facts: All
have done or have let myself do as a
member of the Courland and Livonian
delegation sent to Germany should be
regarded as purely personal inter-
vention. | have no authority to act as
plenipotcntiary from North Livonia
or the Esthonian nation In fact, in
the first place, | was not delegate of
the nation, but named by the subpre-
feet Of Dorpat Secondly, the Council
of Riga includes twenty -one members,
representing the municipal administra-
tions. Now eighteen of them on April
II sent a written declaration to the
council saying that they did not regard
themselves as qualified to take part in
the council as representative of the
Esthonian nation and that they pro
tested in advance against the way in
which the fate of their country was to
be settlcd."'"

Turks Put to Rout,

Prisoners Are Increased to
1900, Says Official State
ment From London

LONDON, May british troops
have pressed on twenty miles further
toward Mosul. northward from Bagdad,
and increased their prisoners to 1900,
it was officially announced here to-day.
At the same time an expedition is

preached Es Salt, taking 260 prisoners.
The Arabs fighting in the Moab area
took $50 prisoners in their recent at
tacks along the Hedjaz Railway, it is
officially stated.
The operation nortn Of Bagdad,
which details published yesterday
showed was a Turkish rout, is intended
to protect the right flank of the Brit

point seventy-three miles beyond Anah
and about midway between Aleppo and
Bagdad, after thoroughly defeating the
Turko- German army opposed to them
and pursuing the disorganized rem
nants for many miles.
If this Euphrates expedition had con-
tinued it might have cut through to the
Mediterranean and got in the rear of
the enemy forces in Palestine But evil
dently the British command did not
dare to go further without protecting
its right flank This flank rested rough
ly on the Persian border and had been
protected earlier by the Russians. The
downfall of Russia created q new stu
alton and made it necessary to send
the present expedition with the object
OF clearing the Turks out of Mosul and
the region north to Lake Van and east
to Persia
The statement on this operation is
sued to-day read:
"On April 80 our pursuing troops ad-
vanccd as far as the Tauk River.
Twelve more field guns were captured
on the 29th and the number of prison
ers now amounts to 1900"

miles northeast Of Jerusalem, were at

other forces advanced along a line of
one mile near Mezreh and occupied that
place.
A few weeks ago the British sent a
light expedition east of the Jordan,
which tore up stretch of the Hedjaz
Railway and returned to the main lines.
Turkish and German writers represent
ed this as a great British defeat The
present easy British advance in the

Russia Protests at Fusion
OF Bessarabia and Rumuniia
tBy The Associated Press,

tby Tho Associated Press)
MOSCOW, April 1S.-A strong pro-
test has been made by M. Tchitcherin,
Russian Foreign Minister, to the Ru-
manian Premier, concerning the an
nouncement that representatives of
Bessarabia had proclaimed the union
OF their country with Rumana and that
Rumania would hereafter regard Bess-
arabia as an integral part of Runania.
This, says Minister Tchitcherin. is
not only in defiance of the Russian
Soviet Republic but is flagrant viola
tion of an agreement previously CON
cluded with Russia for the evacuation
of Bessarabia.
1t is also violation of the aspira-
tions of the local population, he says,
and expresses only the will of the
large landowners of Bessarabia "who
are sworn enemies Of the people and
adopts in exploiting them under the
projection of Rumanian bayonets."
The fusion of the two countries will
not, he declares, destroy the fraternal
solidarity which unites the working
masses of Bessarabia and Russia.

Norwegian Steamer Lost

AN ATLANTIC PORT, May 1.-The
Norwegian steamer Fjell was sunk off
the Virginia coast at midnight last
night when she collided with the Brit
ish steamer Livingstonia. The Fjell's
crew was saved by the Livingstonia
and landed here to-day
The collision occurred in a heavy
fog. The Livingstonia. outward bound
from this port, crashed bow-on amid
ships of the Fjell, which was coming
down the coast. With a great hole in
her hull the Norwegian vessel sank
soon after the crew had taken to the
boats.
Captain Johannesen of the Fjell said
his ship was sounding her fog signal
regularly and taking all proper pre-
cautions and that the Livingstonia
would be libelled for damages

STOCKHOLM, May 1.-Reports that
KEN, the Russian seaport west of
Archangel on the Mourman railway
line, had been occupied by Finnish gov
ernment troops are denied by the
Finnish Legation here The legation
stated to The Associated Press corre-
spondent that the force which occupied
the town was from the Russian Karelian
home guard, this occupancy in nowise
threatening traffic on the railway.
Dispatches from Moscow in midApril
reported that Finnish government
troops had attacked the Mourman rail-
way near KEN, but had been repulsed
by the Entente forces which had been
landed at Mourmansk to protect the
railway.
Kullerwo Manner. an intellectual
leader of the Finnish Socialists and one
of the men responsible for the Finnish
revolution, was taken prisoner at
Vibcrg when the White Guards, or
Finnish government forces, recently
captured that Finnish port, seventy-five
miles northwest of Petrograd. The
correspondent who sent this informa-
ton says the Bolshevik Red Guards
lost 1000 men killed in the battle at
Viborg
Thornwell Haynes, American Consul
at Helsingfors, Finland, in report to
the American Legation here, gives a
more favorable picture Of conditions in
Finland. He recommends that America
send food for distribution in northern
Finland and expresses the belief such
a course might prevent the country in
clining further toward Germany.
The consul says that when the legal
government in Finland was overthrown,
Sweden refused help, other Scandi-
navian countries were unable to. give
aid and France, which alone of the
Entente Allies has recognized the Fin
nish Republic, could not get help there
in time. and nothing was left for the
Firms but to appeal to Germany.

Jugoslaus Attack
Committees Work
On Austrian Reform

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The task of
the Austro- Hungarian Constitutional
Committee, created to inquire into the
need of and to recommend govern
mental reforms, is threatened with
failure by the refusal Of the Czechs and
Jugoslavs to cooperate, according to
the "Neue Freie Presse." which init
mates that the committee may be only
wasting it's time. The following quo
tation from that journal was received
here through diplomatic channels to-
day:

"No Austrian reform of any kind,

is what the Jugoslavs and Bohemians
aspire to, and they count on the Poles
also to assist them. The Jugoslavs are
quite aware of the difficulties of their
situation, and they are not under any
delusion as to the hindrances and the
opposition which the Germans and the
Hungarians will bring forward against
their cause.
"What is more, they are perfectly
convinced that this is not the time to
approach the settlement of the national
problem of the monarchy seriously and
with a prospect of success. Should the

mians it would only be wasting it's

LONDON, May l.-An Order in Coun-:
ell has been issued further postponing
the operation of the National Service
Act, or conscription, as respects Ireland
beyond May /. to which 1T had been
postponed previously.
Some of the morning newspapers say
the postpcnement is due to the govern
ment's wish to introduce home rule
bill and to see what measure of success
1t sets before proceeding to enforce
conscription in Ireland, which. it is said
in some quarters, is not likely to be
attempted in the next few weeks.
Opinion in the lobbies of Parliament
is that Home Rule bill will be pre-
sented in the House of Commons next
week, but the difficulties Of drafting 1T
have not been overcome entirely.
Premier Gives Little Hope.
Members of the Labor deputation who
waited upon the Premier in the House
of Commons on Monday in regard to
Irish conscription admit, says "The
Daily Telegraph, that Mr.. Lloyd George
spoke frankly and firmly and listened
patiently to the statement prepared by
Arthur Henderson upon representa-
tions made by deputation of Irish
trades unionists and the lengthy ex-
planations of j. II. Thomas, M. P. for
Derby, who had been in Ireland on.

Premier Lloyd George promised that
the Cabinet would consider fully the
representations of the Laborites, but he
held out no hope so far as he was con-
cerned personally for any change IN the
policy of the government. In a speech
the Premier insisted that equal rights
of citizenship involved equality Of duty
and responsibility and that Ireland can
not take all the advantages accrulng to
it's association with Great Britain while
refusing 30 bear share in its burdens
and sacrifices.
Catholic Union Protests.
"The Daily Telegraph" recalls that
Ireland did not refuse the gilt OF ola

ment nor the advance OF money 1or
the purchase of land and the building
Of laborers' cottages.
