For many years we were unable to use sardines

unpalatable raw oil taste. Not long ago. however,

OF this to make the onion taste more pronounced

Washington. Sept. ILL.,. N. So
That Petrograd is burning with fires
| raging, in twelve different places and
that indiscriminate massacres are talk
ing place in the streets of the Rus
sian capital was the word that reached
the state department today.
1t came frcm the American legation
at Christiana, which transmitted the
report as having been received there
from what was accredited - an
authoritative source. That was all the
information the legation was able to
get. A similar report had reached the
department shortly before from an
other source.
In the absence of details officials
had nothing to say 1t has been known
for some time past that the general
situation in Petrograd was very bad.
The bolsheviki have been making
Wholesale arrests and have been exc
cutting without trial and without warn
ing, all leaders of the factions that are
opposed to them. 1t is believed here
that as a result OF this distraction
new revolutionary movement has brok-
en- out and that anarchy not only exists
in the capital but throughout a good
part of Russian territory.
Secretary Lansing in announcing re-
ceipt of the message. says 1t did not
indicate whether the massacre was
organized or merely vas a result OF
n general state of anarchy. There was
nothing to show what part the boil
sheviki authorities were playing in
the situation.

"CALM" EXCHANGE VIEWS
SUGGESTED BY AUSTRIAN
Baron Burian Risks an "Un
grateful Task" in Offering
Peace Discussion.

Amsterdam, Sept. 1l.-An exchange
of views between the central powers
and the entente was tentatively sug'
gested by Baron Burian, the Austro'
Hungarian foreign minister, in an ad'
dress to visiting German newspaper
men, according to a Vienna dispatcf
yesterday. Such discussion, said the
foreign minister. need not take thf
form of peace negotiations but would
have as it's purpose the consideration
of NIL things which are keeping the
belligerent powers apart.
Baron Burian advanced his sugges-
ton in declaring that the adversaries
of the central powers need only pro-
vide the opportunity "in a calm eX-
change of views-some sort of direct
Informative discussion Is thinkable
which would be far from peace nego-
tiations--of discussing and weighing
everything which today separates the
belligerent parties and no further
lighting will perhaps be needed to
bring them closer together.
This question arises. said the for
cign minister:
isn't 1t q crime against humanity
even to think of completely pulling
down structure which has become
historical and which certainly here and
there needs improvement, but is only
capable of improvements In order to
found a paradise in future on its
ruins? The defect in this. however, is
that in accordance with the destruc-
tive methods of our enemies 1t can be
only created with a much too great
sacrifice.
Count the past hetacombs of this
war: think of those to come and ask
whether striving to attain war aims
at such a price is justifiable-war aims
in which the principle of justice is put
foremost without investigating
whether an understanding could not
be reached by a fair application of that
principle.
at is unthinkable that even the most
hopes of final victory could
permit the enemy in the long run to
avoid considering whether the most
terrific eXertions and sacrifices can
longer be justified in order to carry
through which are not the enemy's
or to regulate the affairs of
other peoples.
II believe that careful and sincere
would bring many on the
other side to realize that they are often
lighting for imaginary things. 1t may
be an ungrateful task to want to COM
municate ones own perceptions Of
things to the enemy.
THE enemy group can, IL 1t wishes,
itself that in all questions OF
and justice and Of future in
relations that 1t will en-J
on the part of our group no
oppositing progressive aspirations. But |
1T the same time 1t will meet our de- |
to continue steadfastly to
;tpnd up for our right"
