Ready for Peace Last
Spring, Vienna Hears

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 28.-1'he HAGUE
correspondent Of the Vienna "Neue
Freie Presse" says unofficial repre-
sentatlves of France and Great Britain
last spring declared their governments
were prepared to initiate peace nego-
tlatlons. The correspondent gives the
following terms as those which were
acceptable to the Allies in return for
cessation Of hostilities:
Evacuation of Belgium, Germany to
pay two-thirds Of the damage done in
the kingdom, the question of Alsace-
Lorraine to be referred to a referen-
dunn, Southern Tyrol to be ceded to
Italy, Trieste, to be made an interna-
tional port, Serbia, Montenegro and
Rumania to be evacuated, and Ger
many's colonies to be returned.
Baron Burian, then Austro- -Hunga-
rian Foreign Minister. says the cor
respondent, was prepared to issue an
invitation for peace negotiations, but
General Ludendorff, the German chief
quartermaster general, intervened. say
ing: "Let US conquer" A day later.

Paris Authority on
LasU Says Kaiser
Can Be Extrodited

PARIS, Tuesday, Nov William
Hohenzollern can be extradited, in sthe
opinion of Professor Berthelemy, of the
University of Paris law faculty, who
explains that his guiding principle is
,n1.. wnen there as an apparent con-
fict between law and common sense the
solution is always found by following
the latter.
The theory that a political crime is
any crime inspired by purely political
motives, the professor declares, has
long been abandoned. He notes that
Belgium, in 1856, classcd regicides
among law criminals. Crimes such as
the ASSASSINATION of President Carnot
of France and King Humbert of Italy
were inspired by political motives, he
points out, and yet the authors of them
were executed.
The atrocities ordered by former En-
peror William, the professor continues,
are condemned even in a state of war
by international law, and constitute
common law crimes. To maintain that
they are not, because the object for
which they were committed was politi-
cal is, he argues, an absurdjty.

Hamburg Soldiers
Friends of Russian
Souiefs, Says Solf

HAMBURG, Nov. 27 (By The Associ-
ated Press).-Foreign Secretary Solf
has brought the charge that the Ham
burg Soldiers and Workmens Council
is in independent comm unication with
the Russian Soviet government. This
charge appears to be based on the
fact that the marines in charge Of the
wireless station here are constantly
interchanging messages with the Boil
sheviki, whose radiograms are prompt
ly reproduced in the official organ, the
Red Flag" for propaganda purposes.
Tho extreme Radicals in Hamburg
are now in edit, rial control of the
"Red Flag" which they purpose de-
voting to the exploitation of Boil
shevik propaganda.
Indications point to an early rupture
between the Independent Socialists
and Spartacus group nj Hamburg The
former are showing an inclination to
refuse to cooperate longer with the
ultra Radicals.
The Hamburg "Echo," organ Of the
Social Democrats, says that the sailors
and harbcr workers are threatening to
refuse to work on any ships which are
likely to be equipped for trips to the
United States for the purpose Of trann
porting food. The Spartacans are said
to be responsible for the effort to in
cite q strike.

Poles Ask America
And Allies to Sift
Pogror,1 Charge

The United States and the Allies
have been asked to send a commission
to Poland Immediately to determine
actual conditions existing there. The
request was made by the Polish Ma
tional Department and the Polish Ma
tional Defence Committee, and was
prompted by repeated stories of Jewish
pogroms in Poland.
According to representatives of the
two organizations, denials on the part
of well known Poles in this country
have had no effect on the reports of
pogroms, which have been circulated
from various European capitals. The
result, they fear, viii prove detrimen-
tai to the cause of the new independent
and united Polish state at the peace
table.
The Polish organizations are inss-
tent that the Jewish and Polish imm-
grafton to the United States shall have
membership on the proposed commits
sion. Particularly do they want Jew
ish organizations represented because,
they assert, the latter have already
petitoned the Allied governments to
deny Poland q seat at the peace table
or an opportunity to state it's case be-
fore that tribunal
In support of the appeal for an i'm
mediate investigation, the Polish or
CARNATIONS make categorical denial of
Warsaw and other Polish cities The
request for a commission is embodied
in resolution signed by John F.
Smulski, DR.. X. Zurawski, Dr. Adam
Swajkart, K. Zychlinski, Alexander
Debski and DR.. B. Kolakowski
In commenting on the request for a
commission, both Mr.. Smulski and DR..
Kolakowski expressed themselves as
confident that it would definitely brand
as false stories which are being so
widely circulated Poland, they said,
is at war with Bolshevism and with
various forms of anarchy. 1t also is at
war with the UkraInlans, who, under
the leadership of German and Austrian
officers, are attempting to seize Polish
territory.
at is quite conceivable" said Mr.
Snsuiski, that many of the Bolshevik
emissaries sent from Russia into
Poland have been Jews. 1t is utterly
impossible for a nation, when it Is
protecting its frontiers from invading
marauders, to segregate the enemy on
religious lines. In consequence, many
of those Jews may have been killed.
That, however, is far from constituting
Jewish pogrom."
In further explanation of what is
going on in Poland Mr.. Smulski called
attention to the fact that the German

Lemberg Ghetto District
Sacked and Burned,
Germans Assert
Severe Fighting
In City Streets
Authorities Declined to In
terfere With Work of
Slaughter

BERLIN, Nov. 27 (By The Associated
Press).-The charge that the Poles
after capturing Lemberg, the Galician
capital, sacked the Jewish quarter,
where the victims numbered several
thousand, is made by the Lemberg cor
respondent of the Berlin "Tageblatt," "
who says he left the Galician city on
November "a. He telegraphs from
Breslau:
"Since Friday Lemberg, which has
been the scene of desperate street
fighting, is again in the hands of the
Poles, after having been stubbornly de-
Tended by the Ukrainians. The casu-
alties among the soldiers and civilians
are estimated as in excess of one thou
sand. A large section of the inner city
was completely destroyed. The post
office is a heap of smoldering ruins.
"lmmediately upon entering the city
the Poles proceeded to sack and burn
the ghetto district, whose victims num-
bered several thousand. The streets
we're filled with the charred bodies of
Jews, many of whom, in the frenzy of
despair had leaped from the burning
buildings. which were surrounded by
Polish troops. The Polish authorities
were indifferent and declined to take
measures to halt the slaughter. Polish
legions roped off the streets leading to
the ghetto and calmly proceeded to
pillage, rapine and burning.
"The Polish authorities are attempt
ing to blame uniformed bandits for the
pogroms, although it IS commonly
known that the terrorists are not only
amply supplied with arms and NUM-
tions, but that they threatened the
Jews in the event Lemberg was capt
ured."

owe hope there is no revengeful de-
sire on the part of the Allies to see
us remain in poverty" he continued.
"Our enemies should be generous and
remember, at least, that Austria did
what she considered her duty to her
ally and tried repeatedly to give up
the war. If we are helped we will be
able to help ourselves. Our people
are farmers and men of the industrial
~lasscs, all willing to work and not
inclined to Bolshevism. Our financial
position looks like bankruptcy on pa
per, but we viii be able to pay our
war debts.
Need Food, Coal, Money
"Our gold reserves are smal-per-
haps half billion crowns-but that is
of no great Importance, in my opinion.
What | urge is that we be helped back
to productive basis. If we can get
food now we will be able to keep
order If we can got coal we will be-
gin working. If We can get cotton,
metals and raw materials production
will go on. We will also be quiet
politically, which is desired by Amer
ica and the Allies. Whether we are
tied up to the German federation or
not is an unsettled question, even
on
that we must form federation with
pire for commercial purposes"
FLudwig Won Neupath, director of the
Austrian Credit Bank, said to day while
discussing the situation:
"The Austrian Republic must first
be given q loan, to be used for the
purpose of sending food and coal into
the country to prevent famine and dis
order Then it must obtain another
loan of $50, 100000 to buy six months
stock of cotton, wool and copper.
Would Divide Debt
diplomatic pressure should be
brought to bear against the Czechs,
who are attempting TO prevent the ar
rival of coal and metals from Galicia
and other points. The peace confer
ence should also apportion the debts
of the former Austrian Empire equit-
ably among the Czechs, Hungarians,
Austrians and Jugo-S Slavs This debt
now totals $4,000, 900 kronen, 32,-
00,000,O00 of which is in paper money,
which is circulating in all parts of the
country. If the Austrian Republic is
made to shoulder this war debt she is
bound to be bankrupt. Before the war
the normal expenses for the army to-
tailed 1000, 100000 kronen. If there
is no army or navy in future this sum
will be sufficient to pay the interest
on the countrV's debt"

citizen who spent the entire period of
the revolution in Bremerhaven.
The returned Dutchman estimates the
proportion of loyalists to revolutionists
as l to 2, and he says large number
of soldiers are what might be called
true to the Kaiser.'
Army Still in Existence
1t must not be imagined, he insists,
that the German army, although
smaller than before. has ceased to ex-
ist. On the contrary, he represents it
over, commanded by generals devoted
to the former Emperor's cause.
The correspondents informant did
not doubt that something in the shape
of a counter revolution would be at
tempted before long. He said the red
flag is still freely displayed in Bremen
haven, but he heard that it had almost
disappeared in the Rhine district
A dispatch to "The Daily Mail" from
Amerongen, Holland, says the stories
regarding the former German En-
peror's princely surroundings and big
dinner parties and similar functions
are not altogether true.
The most striking feature of the
daily life of William Hohenzollern, the
correspondent continues, is the mass of
correspondence to which he devotes
most of his mornings, and, apparently
unrestricted by the Dutch government,
he is kept accurately informed of every
development in Germany and else
where and is reported to be able to
keep in pretty close touch with the
other side of the frontier
The correspondent says he learns on
good authority that the Netherlands
government considers the former
Crown Prince the only dangerous in
triguer, the former Emperor's day
being regarded as ended
1t is commonly reported at Ameron-
gen, the correspondent declares, that
William Hohenzollern will not be there
long, but 1t is uncertain whittier he
will go.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 25.-The German
ministers regard the position of the
government in Berlin as much less
threatened than is generally supposed
By a conference with the delegates of
the revolutionary Federal government,
which met to-day, they hope to broaden
the basis of their authority and to
lessen their dependency on the Berlin
Soviet.
They have no fear whatever Of re-
dictionary counter-revolution for even
the pan-Germans, like Heydebrand and
Westarp, acquiesce in the present re-
gime. Neither do they consider the
Bolshevki an impending menace. For
all the personal influence welded by
Liebknecht, the troops are not pre-
pared to follow his policy, as they
fully realize it's fatal consequences.
Even Liebknecht and Rosa Luxem-
bourg themselves are conscious of the
danger to peace involved by Bolshe-
vism, and while the present govern
ment feels morally unable to suppress
Bolshevism by force, the danger of
fresh upheaval is minimized by the
fact that the extremists apparently
shrink from acts that might place upon
them the necessity of shouldering a
responsibility manifestly surprising
their strength.
The government is mostly appre-
hensive of the hungry and unemployed
troops, whose return may involve in
calculable dangers to social peace and
order. An independent Socialist minis
ter describes the spirit of those troops
os the best when they are retreating
before the Americans, because these do
not press on quite so impetuously. The
English cannot be accused of inhu-
manity either, but the French are de-
scribed as being pitiless, and the spirit
of the German troops they drive be-
fore them as proportionately des-

Dover Saved as British
Sank Burning Warship
Monitor Sent Down by Gun
fire Before Magazine
Could Explode

LONDON, Nov. 28.-The latest inter
eestlng wartime happening now re-
leased for publication is a story of
how Dover narrowly missed being
biotted out just prior to the last Bel
gian offensive.
The harbor was crowded with war
vessels of all descriptions, including
four monitors about to start out for
the Belgian coast, to cooperate with
the land offensive. Suddenly an ex-
plosion shook the town and soon it
was discovered that the monitor Glat
ten was furiously ablaze in the harbor.
1t is stated that Admiral Keyes
boarded the Glatten and, realizing the
catastrophe both to the city and the
other warships in the harbor that
would result if the Glatten's magazines
exploded, ordered air raid sirens to be
blown to clear the streets. Orders also
were given to sink the Glatten.
The destroyer Broke succeeded in
hitting her with three torpedoes in a
part away from her magazines, thus
sinking her and saving Dover.
