SORE AT AUSTRIA
u. S. Govt Incensed at Terms
Imposed on Rumania.
Show Ruthless Disregard for
Rights of Small Nations.

washington, March 1.-THE United
States government in common with
Rumania. is thoroly incensed at the
Austro- G erman peace terms imposed
upon Rumania.
This thought was made clear at the
state department today when a cable
gram from JaSSy was announced say
ing that the Rumanians point out the
terms were violently impudent" and
contradictory to statements of the
Berlin and Vienna parliaments.
The government is particularly sur
prised at the Austrian tactics, mas
much as they coincide with Germany's
ruthless disregard for the rights of a
small nation.
Revive Militaristic Spirit.
This new feeling on the part of the
government is taken to indicate that
the president will not again make
overtures to Austria while she is in
her present mood-a militaristic spi-
rit, born apparently of the thought
that after all she will get something
out of her alliance with Germany.
A Stockholm message confirmed
Trotzky's reported resignation from
the BolShevik government and carried
his declaration on peace already re-
ported by the press. The same mes
sage said the German general Hoff-
man, had apologized to Ensign Kry-
lenko for the Teuton advance in Rus
Sie-Oul the advance continues.
swedish press reports, included in
another cablegram, quoted the Ger
man commander as saying the Ger
mans were landing in Finland at the
request of the Finnish government
and that they came as friends and
allies"

1t was pointed out that the Russo

SAMM|ES READY!
Now Active Increment To Stop
Any German Drive.
Huns No Longer Have Serious

BY J. W. T. MASON.

New York, March 12.-American
soldiers in France are now ready to
block a German offensive. Won Hin

for risking a German drive early this

position to make Americas power
play a decisive part IN checking any
effort of the Germans to break thru

strate conclusively that the prelim1-
nary training period has been left be-
hind and the Americans are now true
craftsmen of the trenches.
Shift Troops Where Needed.
Won Hindenburg no longer has any
serious chance of smashing thru the
west line. 1t is even improbable that
he has been able to transfer from the
Russian front to the west an aggregate
number of troops for an offensive this
year appreciably exceeding the num-
Der of Americans in France now ready
for defensive fighting.
Under the new powers of the YER

nationality on the west front to be
moved to new sectors on orders from
Versailles. If, therefore. Won Hin
denburg were to try the impossible
and order an offensive against the
French or British, General Pershing
may be found leaving his own sector
and fastening to the relief of Amer
ica'S associates in the war.
Americans Increasing Fast.
But the possibility of Won linden
burg's attempting this task decreases
with every day of the approaching

west front is now probably increasing
faster, proportionately. than is Ger

United States must henceforth be TAX
