Huns Threaten
Extinction of

Austria has threatened Ru-
mania with extinction unless
she agrees Immediately to op-
pressive peace terms. This
information was received by
the State Department last
night from authentic source.
Count Czernin has told the
Rumanians that it is now pos
sible to make peace, guaran-
teeing their country and their
dynasty" If such a peace
isSnot Immediately signed the
Austrian premier has warned
Rumania that she will be
crushed of the map.
The use of the word "dy-
nasty" in these terms is be-
lieved to foreshadow a de-
mand for the abdication of
King Ferdinand, who, as the
family head of the House of
Hohenzollern has made his
resistance to the Germans
doubly offensive in Berlin.

How" Men Get Larger
Compensation.

Hog Island shipyard, the largest in
the world, will be taken over and
operated by the United States after
the war. Chairman Fletcher, of the
Senate Commerce Committee, declar-
ed yesterday.
His statement was made to officials
of the American International Ship
building Corporation who appeared be-
fore the committee to tell their side
of events which led up to President
Wilson's order of a criminal inquiry.
QulEsed by Senators.
Dwight P. Robinson, president of
the company, was subjected to sharp
questioning by Senators johnson, of
California, Nelson. of Minnesota. and
Vardaman. of Mississippi He was
on the stand all the afternoon and
will continue today.
A score of new phrases were brought
out.
Robinson was introduced not only
as the man who knew how but as
The man who would put it through.
He objected to the term profit, in
sisting on compensation.
He said the corporation did nc
work at Hog Island which it could
hire done for il; its watchword. he
said, was control and direction.
Chairman Fletchers statement was
made as a result of an explanation by
Robinson of why the company had an
incentive to keep costs of construction
down. His statement was that the
company had a contract to buy the
yard from the government at the end
OF the war if the government didn't
care to keep it for Federal operation
Robinson continued it must bt
obvious the company would want
to keep costs down so that. exer.
cising its possible option, 1t could
buy the plant cheap.
Il would not worry about that
possibility" Senator Fletcher broke

It will be owned and operated by

PRESIDENT SEEKS
TO BUY TERMINALS
Administration Asks for Power to
Acquire German Properties.

President Wilson sent word 10 Con-
gress through Senator Martin. Of
Virginia. Yesterday that the govern
ment wanted TO buy the docks and
terminals in this country Of the Ger
man line steamships. The Appropria-
tions Committee. which received the
request, following Senator Martins
visit to the White House insisted
upon more particulars. The commit
tee holds that the President now has
full power over the docks.
1t is understood that in case peace
was declared, the German docks now
held by the alien property custodian
would have to be returned. and then
there might be difficulty hereafter in
dispatchinC troops abroad because Of
lack of docks.

President Against Interven-
ton in Russia; Other War
Governments Favor 1t.
JAPS MAY GET NOTE
Attitude of u. S. Predicted
Upon Desire to Impress
Principles.

In sources close to the admins
tration the opinion prevails that
note from President Wilson has
gone forward to Japan. 1t is be-
Iieved to contain vigorous pro-
test against Japanese Intervention
in Siberia.
The position OF the United
States against Japanese intcrven-
ton is its own. 1t is unmistak-
ably indicated here that London,
Paris and Rome have approved
Japan's action.
Japan to Intervene.
There were further positive indica-
tiOns that Japan will intervene. Her
decision may change when the Presi-
dents note reaches Toxic. A change
/ is not looked for.
The developments of last night al
by far the most vital since the worid
war began.
The decision which President VIII
son is understood to have reached
will in effect call upon Japan to lay
| her cards OIL the table.
! The position of the allies in ap
proving intervention will save Japan
/ from declaring herself fOr or against
/ the entente. The attitude taken by
! the United States may force her 10
declare. by actions If not by words,
! whether she has aims of permanent
conquest on the Asiatic mainland.
Intervention might be justified il
, human life were at stake. 1t is not
justified for the defense of property,
1 no matter how valuable.
II is not known whether these
principles have been embodied in
/ the note believed to be on it's way
/ to Toxic last night. They are
known to be the principles upon
! which the attitude of the United
, States is founded.
! By comparison with the Presi-
| dents previous utterances they are
/ readily seen to flow naturally from
: them. The United States, in every
| thing the President has said. has
| been pictured as entering this war
! for an ideal. The dominant note
| of this Ideal has been the right OF
! free peoples to pursue their own
! destinies. Were it possible to Sc
cure the consent of Russia to op-
! erations designed to protect sup
plies consigned to her, no doubt is
| expressed but that such an opera
tion would meet with Washing tons
| approval.
Information at hand here is that
| the Russians will deeply resent the
| landing of armed forces at their
| Eastern seaport. That resentment
will be cleverly famed by the Ger
man agents with which the country
lis sown. 1t will add but another
| element of confusion to the maze
of internal and foreign politics in
which the newly liberated Russians
are struggling.
The government of the United
! States is understood to consider that
| to approve this action would be false
| to every promise the United States has
made to Russia. 1t would, according
to opinion here. justify the Bolsheviki
| in their stand that all the governments
are but rapacious capitalists.

Besides the admonition that a la

one of the brotherhood has been
asked by the Canadian Imperial
Munitions Board to become its di-
rector of shipbuilding with the
proviso that he bring the 11.OOO
men. according to Hutcheson, and
the latter has approved the plan.
The United States Public Reserve
now is campaigning for 100000

that $4,000 of their members are
