At DAGGERS' POINTS
OVER PEACE POLICY
Lenine and Trotzky Fall Out.
Latter's Messages Are Held
Up by Premier.
BY LOUIS EDGAR BROWNE.

By LOUIS EDGAR BROWNE.
CablexFam to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1913.
PETROGRAD, February 20 (delayed).
-Smolny is silent regarding the crisis
in the bolshevik central control is de-
cidedly tense. Premier Lenine and For
eign Minister Trotzky are at daggers
points regarding the results of the
peace negotiations at Brest-Litovsk
Trotzky apparently acted without con-
sulting Lenine. as is sown by the
stenographic text of Lenine's telephone
conversation last night with army
headquarters at Mohilev. This reads:
Inform all commissaires to cease
transmitting kilograms and commun-
iques signed by Trotzky and Krylenko
with reference to the rehabilitation OF
the army. We are unable as yet to an
nounce the terms of peace because
peace has not been signed. Detain all
kilograms announcing peace until fur
ther notice"
Kryenko Order Held Up.
Simultaneously NJ. Echerbachov and
NJ. Kroutov, commissaires on the north
ern front, sent the following joint tele-
gram to the Riga armies:
I'VE request you to detain Ensign
Krylenko's order regarding peace, be-
cause it is inconsistent with the situa-
tfon."
Smolny maintains great secrecy as to
whether the long expected internecfne
struggle in the bolshevik camp has
actually developed.
Appeal to All Nations.
The declaration Of the Russian peace
delegation" says the Isvestia, the boil
shevik organ, lis in reality an appeal
to all nations and to all the working
ma sses of the world and especially OF
the German coalition. We understand
German character and believe that
after our rehabilitation Germany can
not continue the war against US while
a new advance by German armies into
Russia is psychologically impossible.
Should the European nations fail to
respond to the call of the Russian rev.
olution, we are convinced that the day
is near when, under the pressure of
the masses imperialistic aggressive
ambitions will be discarded"
The paper compared the Russo-Ger-
man position to two duelists, one with
a pistol and the other unarmed. The
defenseless man addresses the one with
the pistol, saying: You see. am un-
armed. Would you be such scoundrel
and coward as to shoot an unarmed
mani?

Voters When Million and Half
Men Go to War.

Woman suffrage is necessary to pre-
serve the purity Of the ballot In Amer
lea while the fighting hosts are away

man Gait, president OF the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton. who spoke yesterday at the tea at
suffrage headquarters, 1926 Rhode Is

'"This country will have lost one and
one-half millions Of its voters when our

when this great number of our best
Americans have gone abroad we will
be left with great numbers OF the less

and elect members of Congress who
will determine the fate not only Of the
women of the country. but OF the light.
ing men as well? Should not loyal
women's votes be utilized to serve and
save their country, as Canadian and
ized-
Ten at Home to One at Front.
Mrs. Gait quoted from the statement
of ex-Premier Asquith that the work OF
ten persons at home is required to keep
one soldier at the front. and that in
women.
The speaker declared this is a wom-
ans war as well as a mans war and
that women's votes are necessary to
make sure that the end shall not be an
Iinconclusive peace.
Women hate war;" said Mrs. Gait
"and they are firm in the determination
that this shall be the last war, and In
that determination they want to use
their votes to guarantee a permanent
peace"

humiliating spectacle II at the peace

Representative Esch Voices
Opposition to Railroad Bill
for Committee Minority

Opposition to the House draft of the
administrators railroad bill, particu-
larly it's provisions for compensating
the roads. determining rates and fixing
the period of government retention
after the war. was voiced today by Rep
resentative Esch of Wisconsin. ranking
republican member of the interstate
commerce committee.
Representative Esch. speaking for the
minority of the committee. declared
the proposed rate OF compensation is
too high; that the power to initiate
rates should rest with the Interstate
Commerce Commission rather than
with the President, and that the roads
should be returned to their owners. one
year or less after the proclamation of
peace instead of two years. as proposed
Owners of our railroads should be
content to receive a guarantee of pay
ment of all fixed charges" said Repre-
sentative Esch,, Including operating
expenses. taxes and interest and regu-
lar dividends on outstanding stock.
Any surplus above such payment ought
either to go to the government to aid
it in meeting the guarantee or be
and the government
Rate-Making Powers.
..The minority also believe that the
rate making power should remain in
the hands of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. 1t is the one body under
our government that has had the regu-
lation Of railroads, including their
rates. in charge. 1t is not necessary to
give to the President, even in time of
war, the power to initiate rates. No
other nation at war has changed its
raIe-making power. No other nation
has given to a single individual this
power, not even autocratic Germany"
Mr.. Esch said that a period of a year
after the proclamation of peace would
allow sufficient time for Congress to
pass the necessary legislation for the
adjustment of the financial relations
between the government and the car
riers and arrange for the return of the
roads to their owners.

THE PRACTICE OF THRIFT
A VITAL FACTOR IN THE
WINNING OF THE WAR
President Wilson's Appeal TO the
Country


This war is one Of nations-not OF
armies-and all Of our 100000, ,00C
people must be economically and in.
dustrially adjusted to war conditions
il this nation is TO play its full part
in the conflict The problem before US
is not primarily financial problem
but rather a problem Of increased pro
duction Of war essentials, and the saw
ing of the materials and the labor
necessary for the support and equip
mcnt of our army and navy. Thought
less expenditure Of money for non-es-
sentials uses up the labor of men, the
products of the farm, mines, and fac
tories. and overburdened Transports
ton, all of which must be used TO the
utmost and at their best for war pur-
poses.
The great results which we seek can
be obtained only by the participation
of every member of the nation, young
and old, in national concerted thrift
movement. | therefore urge that our
people everywhere pledge themselves,
as suggested by the secretary of the
treasury, to the practice of thrift; to
serve the government to the utmost in
increasing production in all fields nee
essary to the winning of the war; to
conserve food and fuel and useful ma
terials of every kind; to devote their
labor only to the most necessary
tasks; and to buy only those things
which are essential to individual
health and efficiency; and that the
people, as evidence Of their loyalty, in
vest all that they can save in Liberty
bonds and war savings stamps.
The securities issued by the treas
ury department are SO many of them
within the reach Of everyone that the
door of opportunity in this matter is
wide open to all of us. To practice
thrift in peace times is virtue and
brings great benefit to the individual
at all times; with the desperate need
of the civilized world today for ma
terials and labor with which to end the
war, the practice Of individual thrift
is patriotic duty and necessity.
| appeal to all who now own either
Liberty bonds or war savings stamps
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them tc the extent
of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power of his money to the
United States government until after
this war, and to that same degree does
not buy in competition with the gov
ernment.
| earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child 70 pledge themselves
on or before the 28th of June to save
constantly and to buy as regularly as
possible the securities Of the govern
ment; and to do this, so far as pos
sible, through membership in war saw
ings societies. The 28th of June ends
this special period of enlistment in
the great volunteer army of produc-
ton and saving here at home. May
there be none unenlisted on that day.
