Scope of Hun Alliance in Doubt.
Amsterdam, Thursday. May l6.--
There is q remarkable disparity be-
tween advlces from Berlin and Vienna
regarding the scope of the projected
extension Of the Austro- German al
lance. Whereas, the Berlin version Of
the pact. according to the Cologne Ga
Zette. denies that the alliance is to be
embodied in the constitutions Of the al
lied empires. direct advices on the
same day affirm the contrary positive
ly declaring such embodiment to be
a part Of the program.
The Importance Of this lies in the
fact that should the proposals contem-
plate constitutional changes they
would have to be submitted to the par
liaments Of both empires. whose assent
would be necessary.
In Vienna there Is no attempt to con-
ceal the conviction that there lie many
stumbling blocks in the path OF the
proposals inasmuch as both in Austria
Hungary and in Germany there are po-
litical parties and business interests
with sufficient power to exert strong
opposition to realization of the idea
Of unified central Europe.
The main difference between the
new alliance and the old dual alliance,
it is pointed out. Is that where tba lat
ter was devised solely to counteract
Russian expansion the now arrange
ment will chiefly command attention in
the aspect 1t benrs of Il defensive al
lance against all corners.

clared it's readiness to open immediate
negotiations with the Ukrainian cen
trail rada. No answer. however, has
come from this government, which is
now directed by Germany.
The German government having
likewise proposed the question OF a
peace treaty has in no way given any
answer to our offer TO open peace
negotiations. Instead of this tho ad-
vance OF German Ukrainian troops
against Russian continues. as has al
ready been pointed out.

that II the German government finds
it impossible to maintain the condition

ment directs ukrainIar, Finnish and

30 MILLION TONS OF COAL TO BE SAVED
 BY GARFIELD

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. IT, Weeping and wailing and gnaishing of teeth, and-not to speak ire verently,-"welshin was the order of things around this capital today.
 The plairt and grief being so CO., piously spilled is because of the order of Fuel Administrator Gar field, given with intent of conserv- ing the industrial fuel supply, not remotely but immediately for the purpose of relieving the universal misery of the people.
 On the one hand it is estimated that twenty million workers will be thrown out of employment for a period of five days but one the con- trary it is shown that thirty million tons of coal will be saved for the humanitarian purpose intended by tho Fuel Administration, which is Co say that it will be kept out of bAC OA bhO anu placed in the cabins cottages, and residences of the people and head off the pinching biting cold.
 Certainly no storm mas ever ragged so furiously about the head of any government official es today threatens Dr. Garfield. His action in ordering a temporary suspension of industry in order to make sure of relief 10 the people everyone agrees is drastic, and the represen- tatives and the spokesmen of the profiteers are raving that it is ra- dical and imperialistic.
 Some of the staunchest support CTS of hte administration and per sonal supporters of the President. Among these most cohspicuously

active is Senator Hitchcock who after hurried hugger-mugger with other nabobs of the now fren- 2ied Democracy introduced a reso- lution setting forth the havoc that will be occasioned by a five day sus- pension of all industries depend ent upon the consumption of coal providing for cancellation of the Fuel Administrator order. The innocent bystanders", most not ably the representatives of the press are amazed at the audiences and fury of the rage developed by the administration order. Senator Hitchcock went so far as to make implications against the govern ment for stupidity and inexcusable lack of cooperation. In his fran tic denunciation the Nebraska solon screamed a lamentation that the proper Judgement in Congress and that the Administrative depart ments were running amuck Tn stampede of wild reform.
 Through all the furore the off, ces of the Fuel Administration a ra.l of tranquil serenity seemed to have settled. When interviewed Dr. Garfield showing no nervous ness whatever advised that proper steps were being taken to protect the workers from any undue hard ship because of the suspension and stated very frankly that he be- lievod there would be none. The Doctor exhibited a telegram which he just caused to be forwarded to tho Ex-President of the United Mine Workers of America, MT. John P.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Jan 17.-Some fifteen reputable labor leaders have left this city today en route for Washington to lay before President Wilson a request which indicates a profound reliance upon the friend liness of the Chief Executive of the United States to the labor cause.

nization to accept a responsible place on the Fuel Administration Commission at the instance, it Is understood of Dr. Garfield himself.
 Mr. White is in attendance upon the national convention of the Mine Workers Union now meeting at Indianapolis and the purport of the telegram was to request him to apprise the Convention will assur- edly not close down any mines for the period of the industrial suspen- sion ,and that he is making an ap- peal to the patriotism of all em- ployers affected, not to shift the burden of the enforced idleness upon the workers anywhere during the period contemplated in the order.
 Fuel Administrator Garfield furth- CT announced that the coal opera tors themselves did not stand to lose even a temporary inconveni- ,cnCe since it was the intention of the Government to purchase their entire output for the period of the five day suspension whether it were under contract to industrial consumers or not.
 That the full strength of the Wilson administration is in line with the action of the Fuel Admi- nistrator is indicated by the fact that in casual ordinary business fashion he has forwarded a re- quisition to the Secretary of the Treasury, MT. McAdoo, for the wholly negligible and insignificant sum of Twenty Five Million dollars to carry out the plan.
