movement and containing favorable
reference to President Wilson's
formula.
Theodore Wolff's article in the Tage-
blatt takes the form of an imaginary
appeal to President Wilson from some
friend familiar with Europe, for ex
ample Henry Morgenthal. former am
bassador to Turkey. painting picture
of Germany misled by the false pan
German prophets but loving peace
with its whole soul and having learned
it's lesson, now, ready for Wilsonian
peace.
Prof. Gravenitz, in the Vossische
Zeitung, reviews the events which
gradually alienated the United States
from Germany while President Wilson
was trying to bring about peace, his
efforts however being nullified by the
German military party. Today" the
professor concludes. I'VE have a gov
ernment strong enough to assert its
will for peace, and it is again the
Presidents turn"
The Socialist Vorwaerts prints an
article seeking to show that the Ger
man people have confidence in Presi

justice.

SIBERIAN ROAD
NOT HELD BY FOE,
SAYS TR0Tzky
CharaCterizes as FaIsehood Ru.
mors That German and Aus
'trian Prisoners Occupy
Communications.
(By Associated Press

Moscow, March 22.-Rumors that
Austrian and German prisoners of
war have occupied the trans-Siberian
railway are characterized as an abso-
lutte falsehood in a dispatch received
by Leons Trotzky, the bolshevik for
eign minister, in response to inquiries
made of the representatives of the
bolshevik commissaries at Irkatsk.
Under M. Trotzky's instructions, di-
rect telegraphic communication has
been established with M. Stremberg,
commissioner of military affairs, and
NJ. Jansen, president of the central
executive council of the All-Russian
soviet, both of whom are at Irkutsk.
Protest Against Lies.
Replying to questions concerning
reports relative to prisoner-they said:
"Rumors about the occupation of
Siberian railways by German and
Austrian prisoners of war are abso-
lutte falsehoods. Prisoners of war, not
armed, are grouped all along the Si-
berian railway line and guarded by
armed patrols. We protest against
the spreading of deliberately false ru-
mors by foreign representatives, who
further complicate the Russian situa-
ton"
1t is reported from Blagovieshtch-
ensk that during an uprising of the
white guards there the members of
this force fired upon Chinese in the
city and attempted to create dissen-
sion between the bolsheviki and the
Chinese, but fled when the Red Cross
entered the city. The Chinese popu-
lation is friendly to the bolsheviki.
