Inc Vorwaerts publishes speeches
by Philip Scheidemann, leader Of the
majority socialist party in the reich
stag, and Hugo Haase, the minority
socialist leader, condemning what they
termed the anneXationist projects Of the
herman government as disclosed at
Brest-LitovSk. The speeches were de-
llvered before the reichstag main com
mittce.
Herr Scheidemann said there was no
doubt that the reichstag majority adj
hered 10 its declaration Of last summer
against forced a~nneXations and contri-
buttons and that the socialists and other
large circles in Germany saw q con-
tradlction between the statements or
the German negotiators at Brest-
LltoVsk on December 25, declaring for
peace without annexation and indem-
mites, and on December %, when the
German proposals regarding occupied
Russian territory were made.
lie asserted the position Of the chan
cellor would be untenable If he depart
ed from the standpoint Of the right OF
self determination Of peoples.
Herr Scheidemann declared the So
cialists stand "for unrestricted self de-
termination of peoples" adding:
Just as resolutely as we oppose the
anneXationist politicians Of the entente
we combat the ~annexationist politicians
OF u own country"
Herr Haase said the German pro-
posals Of December 20 constituted a
yelled claim to anneXations.
London, Jan. S.--If the country's
opinion, as is probable in the present
case, can be judged by expressions in
the London press 1T may be said that
never before has Premier Lloyd George
won such universal approval as is given
to his statement Of Saturday concern
ing Great Britain's war aims. It Is
recognized there will be divergence Of
opinion on details like the economical
terms of settlement and disposition OF
Germany's African colonies, but in all
essentials his statement Is hailed az
eminently satisfactory n h premier
is declared to have performed q most
important service TO the country.
All interest now Is focused on the
question as to how the statement will
be received in Germany, Austria-Hun-
gary and not the least, in Russia, but as
yet there is nothing to satisfy this
anxious curiosity.

AMERICAN AVIATORS
BOMB GERMAN Lines
Raid in Nature of Reprisal for
One by Teutons a Week
Ago.

With the American Army in France,
Jan. limited State aviators have
flown over the German battle lines and
dropped bombs in conjunction with
British and French pilots. The flight
of the Americans virtually was a re-
prisal for the killing of two American
woodcutters during o German bombing
expedition a week ago.
Through the courtesy Of the British
and French flying authorities, the
American aviators also have taken part
in observation and Photographic work.
1t is not thought advisable TO name the
places where the Americans flew on
the bombing expedition, but it was well
beyond the German air defense lines at
Che front.

KAISER RECOGNIZES
Finnish REPUBLIC
Similar Action Understood to
Have Been Taken at
Petrograd.

Amsterdam, Jan. 7.-Germany has
recognized the Finnish republic. An Of
fetal dispatch from Berlin says that
after the Russian government declared
it's willingness to recognize the indie
pendence Of Finland, as soon as the ap-
plication OF the Firms was received, and
after the Finnish government had taken
a corresponding step at Petrograd,
which was received favorably. the Ger
man emperor charged the imperial
chancellor to express In the naTpe of
the German government recognition Of
the Finnish republic to plenipotenti-
aries Of Finland now In Berlin. Chan
cellor Won Hertling received the plen-
ipotentiar ies Sunday and informed them
Germany had recognized Finland.

FOOD SITUATION IN
ALLIED NATIONS BAD
Lord Rhondda, OF Great Britain,
Regards Situation as Most
Critical.

Washington, Jan. THE foodsitua-
ton in the allied countries of Europe Is
graver than it has been at any time
since h beginning of the war and is
causing American government officials
deep concern. Official reports show
food shortage in England, France and
Italy.
The fact that conditions in Germany
and Austria are far worse offers the
only grounds for optimism in viewing
the situation.
In England and France the situation
Is described as critical in a cablegram
to the food administration from Lord
Rhondda, the British food controller,
which concluded with these words:
81 view the situation with grave anX-
tety."
Yesterday n ~cablegram from the
French government said the wheat crop
had been requiSitioned n that the
bread ration would be cut to ALLOW only
sever ounces of bread daily to all per-
sons except the very poo and those do
ing hard manual labor. In Italy con-
ditions are not as good, perhaps, as in
England or France.

right to call an army into existence,
counting alone upon the Willingness Of
the citizen to do his duty in time OF
public need--that is, in wal time. But
the premise Of this proposition is so
devoid of foundation that it leaves not
even a shadow Of ground upon which to
base the contention.
Riddles Pacifist Claims.
- = It remains only to consider con-
tentions which, while not disputing
power, challenge the act because OF the
~repusnancey to the constitution sup
posed to result from some OF it's pro-
visions.
First, we are of opinion that the act
is void as a delegation of federal power
to state officials because Of some OF it's
administrative features is too wanting
in merit to require further notice.
Second, we think that the conten-
ton that the statute is void because
vesting administrative officers with
legislative discretion has been so COM
pletely adversely settled as to require
reference only to some of the decided
cases. A like conclusion also adversely
disposes of q similar claim concerning
the comforting Of judicial power. And
we pass without anything but state
ment, the proposition that an establish
ment or q religion or an Interference
with the free exercise thereof, reoug-
nant to the first amendment resulted
from the exemption clauses of the act to
which we at the outset referred, because
we think its unsOundness too appar-
ent TO require us to do more.
"Fiaally. as we are unable to conceive
upon what theory the eXaction by gov
eminent from the citizen of the perfor-
nance OF his supreme and noble duty
of contributing to the defense of the
rights and honor of the nation as the
result of a war declared by the great
representative body of the people can
be said to be the imposition of lnvolun-
tary servitude in violation of the pro-
hibitions of the Thirteenth amendment,
we are constrained to the conclusion
that the contention to that effect is re-
futcd by its mere statement"

Amsterdam, Jan. S.-Practical notice
that the Russo-German peace negOtia.
tions at Brest-Litovsk are concluded
We're contained in a wireless message
which the German delegates sent to
the Russians today. The message, ac-
cording to dispatches received from
Berlin today, pointed out to the Rus
slams that the agreement of the Ger
mans at Brest-Litovsk on December
10 was expressly contingent that all
belligerents unreservedly within suit,
able period would bind themselves to
these conditions"
The message continued that the dele
gates fixed 10 days as the period in
which other 6eiligcrents were to decide
whether or not they should join the
peace conference.
The central powers now record the
fact the message concludes. that this
period has now elapsed and so far there
has been no declaration received re-
garding their participation from any
other belligcrent."

LcndOn, Jan. S.--The bolShevist are
definitely strengthening the front. Pet
rograd advices say. The correspondent
OF the Daily News obtained this IN
formation from NJ. Radek. one or the
Russian delegates, who o a proml-
nent part in the negotiations with the
Austrians and Germans at Petrograd.
He said the bolshevist were intending
to send home all who did not wish to
fight, so that they would have an army
which was willing to fight for an ideal.
The correspondent asked: What
would be the attitude OF the b~olshevists
in case of actual war, with regard to
help from the allies"
M. Radek replied:
I'VE do not desire their help, Our
strength lies in our weakness, and If
we accepted help from the allies the
significance OF our position would be
destroyed. The weaker we are the
stronger we are. The Germans can
drive us back, but what good would 1t
do them"'
THE country behind the front has
been stripped bare. There is not enough
there to feed a single horse. The Ger
mans will not wish millions Of starv-
ing persons on their hands.
I'VE stand for q democratic peace.
So do the German working classes. If
the German government attacks us, 1t
will display itself to its own people in
It's true light"

BRYAN AND THE WAR CABINET

VIM. j. Bryan is consistent advocate Of peace and
has always abhored war; but that we are in war he
has put by his love Of peace and for war to the limit
until the nations objects achieved He broke with
the administration and resigned from the CABINET but not
word Of criticism of the president or his adnstra
ton has ever from his lips. In other words Mr.
Bryan has been big enough and patriotic enough not
embarass the nation by any act prompted by personal
feelings or individual views in time of peril This fact
generally admitted has tended greatly to increase the
public esteem in which the Nebraskan has always been
held by vast number of his fellow countrymen Further
more it makes his views at this time we'll worth serious
consideration.
In the Commoner Of late issue this brief signed edi-
toral appeared:
"The president is right in opposing the proposed war
cabinet It would be confession that his cabinet had
broken down and would give encouragement to the
enemy. If such passed it would be construed
abroad as vote Of lack of confidence
IF the critics Of the administration could win such
victory they would Immediately insist upon naming the
new men, and would construe the vote to that the
new men should be taken from among the critics
'ln Great Britain the king must summon the opposi-
tion to form cabinet will the opposition take the public
into their confidence and suggest the of the new
cabinet? w. j. BRYAN"

be that Germany attempting to wrest enough terri
