The report from Ottawa that the
/ Canadian nobility is to be abolished
may be the first news to not a few
on that side Of the border, as well as
to many OF this side, that CANADA
has q nobility. The proposal is called
radical, end II certainly does strike
Mt q very ancient institution, states a
writer In Providence Journal. If such
b law is enacted in accordance with
the recommendations of the govern.
ment, In the form Of an order in coun-
ell, no hereditary title shall hereaft-
er be conferred upon a British subject
resident Of Canada" and appropriate
action shall be taken by the govern
ment to provide that, after a pre-
scribed period, no title held by a Brit
fsh subject now or hereafter ordina-
rily resident In Canada, shall be rec
pgnized as having hereditary effect"
The reference presumably is to the
titles that have come down from the
period when the king of France "con-
ceded his North American possessions
In fefs of duchies, marquisates, coun-
ties, yiscounties, baronies and other
seigniorles to the members of the
nobiesse, military officers and other
men Of merit admitted to the noblesse"
according TO the old chronicle. And
although, as one Of the ancient regime
has plaintively observed, democracy
has a hatred for natural superiority

among the .bourgeoisle" and "peas-
antry'' of the husky young Dominion.

Pan-Cerrnans
Urge Proposal
OF Peace Now
Austro-Hungarian Socialist.
Outline Their Terms
to End War

AMSTERDAM. June 2.-"Is a new
German peace offensive coming?" is
the question now being asked in poll
tical circles. What has often been
advocated in German Socialistic and
radical organs--namely, that Germany
should clearly and unequivocally state
the terms upon which she would be
willing to make peace-is now urged
even by the PanGerman "Kreuz-
zeitung," which judges the present
moment as most opportune one.
The newspaper says with emphasis it
is not a peace offer but a peace often
slve that is wanted, and it believes the
recent German military successes can
not fail to add weight to any concrete
proposal Germany may make now, only,
the paper adds, it should be made
publicly.
There need be no apprehension. the
newspaper declares, that peace often
sive will weaken Germany's political
position, and it argues that those who
would leave the entire issue to the
sword take too narrow a view of this
war and show no understanding Of its
political consequences
The "Kreuz- -Zeitung" goes on to point
out that the absence of a definite gov
eminent peace programme is destroy
ing internal unity, while the lack of
political activity in the interval be-
tween battles tends to hamper the CON
duct of the war and leads to all sorts
Of rumors about dsagreemcnts between
the government and the army COM
manders.
The governm ent is called upon .by the
"kreuz-Aeltung" to appoint Immediately
a commission consisting of a LEADING
economist, colonial expert. represen-
tatlves or the army and the navy and
an international jurist, under the pres
idency of an able diplomatist, 70 work
out complete peace programme; but
it urges that time presses and that it
must be done quickly. A definite pro-
gramme after consultation with party
leaders, the newspaper asserts, would
Undoubtedly secure majority in the
Relchstag as was secured for the policy
OF unrestricted submarine warfare.
At a conference of the Austro-Hun-
garian Socialist Labor Democratic
party, which includss all the Socialist
members of the different legislatures,
demand was made for the Immediate
convocation of the Reichsrat. It was
stated that inasmuch as the Brest-
Lltovsk and Bucharest peace treaties
violate the principles of peace by un-
derstanding and without annexations
or lndemnities. these treaties should be
submitted to the Reichsrat before thew
are ratified
The conference further requested the
governments of the Central Powers to
offer enemy countries a general peace

NEW HAVEN, June ALL Hearst
publications-ma as we'll as

from the Hotel Taft, of New Haven,
one Of the largest hotels in New Eng
land.
"The New York Journal" and

Placards state that no Hearst publica-
ton will be sold at the Hotel Taft in
the future.
Alfred C. Ray. assistant manager of
the hotel, explained to-day that the
action was the result of the mutual
sentiment of the management and
guests.
"Oficers of the New Haven Hotel
Company, which runs the Hotel Taft
felt that Hearst publications should
not be sold at the hotel newsstands
while New Haven boys were away in
France fighting for world freedom,
said Mr.. Ray.
"And then the hotel guests had been
objecting to the Hearst publications
Many of our guests are New Workers
and Bostonians. Scores of guests
urged us to prohibit Hearst publica-

Battle on the high seas with the

engagement on the high seas that is
expected to occur any time with the
German feet.
Il know also that the British navy's
heads have given the ships of the
United States the place of honor in
preparing for this conflict. and l also
know that through hard and unremit-

Of winning this engagement"
Admiral Gleaves also said that q
large proportion of the American navy
was now serving in foreign waters.

just what our ships are on the other

them
After expressing his satisfaction al

Russian Plot
ToOverthrow
Soviet Barred
Moscow Declared in State
Of Siege and Many
Arests Made
by The Associated Press)

LONDON, June 2.-The discovery in
Moscow and Petrograd Of large coun-
ter-revolutionary plot which stretches
throughout the whole Of Russia is an
nounced in Russian wireless message
received here tonight
To this plot is attributable in part
the mutiny Of the Czecho-S -Slovak
troops, which have captured several
important railway functions and lines.
The Soviet government decided on
May 20 to undertake the partial calling
to arms of several classes Of workmen
and the poorer peasants in Petrograd
and Moscow and the Kuban and Don
region.
Moscow in State of Siege
At the same time Moscow has been
declared in a state of siege. Counter
revolutionaries have been arrested in
considerable numbers and energetic
measures have been taken against the
press. These measures are necessary,
it is announce !. owing to the situation
in which the Russian revolution has
been placed.
is that Of supplying the people with
bread, now that Russia has been de-
prived of the Ukraine granary. The
Kuban and Don regions are, according
to the Russian statement, menaced by
counter-revolutionary band, which
hopes by means of complications to
provoke intervention by foreign powers
and thus drive the Russian masses
toward famine.
Seek to Excite Masses
In some regions the large owners
are mobilizing the well-to-d do peasants
with the object of resisting the efforts
OF the government to commander the
-four depots. and are trying to conceal
their stocks for purposes of future
speculation, and, finally. agents of the
counter-revolution in the various cities
throughout the country, says the state
ment. "are seeking to excite the starv-
ing masses against the Soviet govern
ment."
Nj. Tchitcherin, Russian Foreign
| Minister. according to Moscow dis
patch has sent to the German Ambas-
sador at Moscow the following note:
"The Russian government agrees
with the German government that in
order to obtain a speedy and complete
accord with Finland Russia should ac-
cept the German proposal for regular
izing relations with Finland
This proposal provides for Finland
ceding to Russia Fort Ino and Raivola,
in the province of Viborg,. on the
Russian promise not to fortify these
places, while Russia cedes to Finland
the western part of Thurman and an
outlet to the sea.

Finland and how completely the Ger
