On the other IIa.- the Russian government declares again to the allied (Teutonic) delegation that it is of the opinion that the existing constitutional organizations of newly created states may be considered for the present fully competent to express the will of wide circles of the people.
 of great importance for the ques- ton (blank in the wireless dispatch) of the individuality of a state is the de- csion reached by the supreme court law and given at Washington in the year 1908. in which it is stated: that the sovereign rights of the United States of North America must be rec ognized as having fully and completely existed from the day of the announce ment of it's independence, that is to say, as from the Fourth of July. 1176, quite independent of it's recognition on the part of England in the treaty of the year 17S2.

 Poland Free From Russia
 Delegation takes note of the decla ration that the Russian government from the fact that the occupied regions having belonged to the former Russian imperial empire, does not draw any conclusions which would impose any political obligation upon the peoples of these territories in relation to the Rus sion republic, and that the old frontiers of the former Russian empire,-fron- tiers established by acts of force and crime against such peoples, and es- pecially against the Polish people have disappeared, together with czar- dom
 Tt also takes note that therefore | the principal task before the Russian government in the negotiations now il progress does not consist in any way in defending the forceful keeping ot territories within the borders of tho Russian empire, but in guaranteeing real freedom and the right of self de termination in relation to their interna state regime and international position | oh the terrtores.'

WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

The Teutonc allies and the Bolshe- wiki still are deadlocked over the ques- tion of peace terms. The stumbling block evidently is the evacuation of occupied territory, demanded by the Russians in order that the inhabitants may have a free rein in expressing their desires as to their official gov ernment
 An Amsterdam dispatch says the proposals regarding evacuation are so divergent from the ideas of the central powers in their present form as to be unacceptable to Germany and her allies. The Russians are described as having taken an uncompromising atti- tude in the matter and as not treating with the Teutons on just basis.
 Seemingly as giving finality to their previously expressed intention with regard to the evacuation of occupied territory, the German statement says the withdrawal of the Austrian and German troops while the war continues is impossible. In an endeavor to pla- cate the Russians, however, it is stated that if military conditions per- init the occupying forces may be re- duced to such numbers as are neces- Sary to maintain order and meet the technical requirements of the country Apparently there has been no amellOration in the situation existing between the Bolsheviki and the Rus sian government. Following closely upon the ultimatum to Rumania threatening energetic military meas ures if the Rumanians failed immedi- ately to release members of the Bolshviki who were arrested, comes l the official announcement that the ar rest of King Ferdinand of Rumania has been ordered by the Bolsheviki. If captured, the monarch is to be brought to Petrograd and incarcerated in the famous St. Peter and St. Paul fortress.
 Fighting between the Bolsheviki and the counter revolutionary forces con- tlnues at various points in Russia proper and Siberia. Hostilities be- tween the Ukrainians and Bolsheviki forces at Odessa again have broken out Warships are said to have bonn barded the city. Irkutsk, in eastern Siberia, and Orenburg, also in Siberia | have been captured by the Bolsheviki Another mutiny is declared to have broken out recently at Germany naval base at Kiel. The trouble started among members of crews of subma rlnes. who lately are reported to have been dissatisfied with the lack of sue. cess and the dangers of the submarine campaign. Men from cruisers are declared to have joined in the fray, ir which 3S officers are reported to have been killed.
 On the fighting fronts in France an6 | Belgium the hostilities continue below normal. In Italy the Austrians agair have attempted to recapture bridge head positions taken from them by the Italians Monday but were defeated and suffered heavy losses.
 Two British torpedo boat destroyer. have been lost on the Scotch coas during storm. Only one man of tn, crews were saved.

House of Commons Votes
 Down Amendment to Man
 Power Bill by Vote of 136 to AS: Premier Talks
rRepublican A. P. Leased Wirel

LONDON. Jan. 1.-The house of commons by d vote of 136 to AS today reflected an amendment to the man power bill which proposed to apply conscription to Ireland.
 Former Premier Asquith expressed general approval of the governments man power measures but urged that the largest number of men consistent with safety should De withdrawn from the armies held in England for home defense to reinforce the fighting fronts. He said the country wanted to be sure that the number of men maintained at home did not exceed the\most liberal estimates of what safety demanded.
 MT. Asquith considered the situation closed in the speech Monday of Sir Auckland Geddes, minister of national service, far too grave for recrimination or retort. The question of man power, he said. was urgent year ago, but to- day. with the virtual disappearance of Russia from the entente allied forces, it was still more urgent He impressed upon the house, however, the necessity of maintaining supply of men for shipbuilding and asked for a clear SldltlitDl Ol ilit oON tA ulllluut of this point
 Premier Lloyd George interrupted to say he would reply at once.
 The government regards it as the primary necessity of the hour he de- clared.
 MT Asquith then emphasized the need for a movement to proceed with sympathy in the necessary work of combing out the skilled occupations under the provisions of the man. power bill so cooperation could be assured This could be obtained only by show ing consideration for the men with whom the government was dealing The war temper of the people was res olute and unwavering he declared. II needed only assurance that the steps taken would be applied with consider ation.
 James M. Hogge liberal then re- ferred to grave matters which had been communicated to him privately and which he contended it was essen tial the house should know. sIe asked for secret session and the galleries were cleared.

BERLIN, (via London), Jan. IT, The official report of the reply of the Germans to the Russian delegates at the Brest- Ltovsk conference last Mon day says Dr. von Kuehlmann an- nOunced that the central powers had decided to reply verbally to the for mulated proposals of the Russian dele gation. He urged that the present method of drawing up formulated doc uments wasted much time and led to little progress.
 He advised that they talk matters over in the future, entrusting their pa per drafts to one representative from each side. These two representatives should form an editorial committee, who should reach an understanding between themselves in ascertaining and setting down points of difference. The reply of the central powers was then read as follows:
 "The proposals of the Russian dele gation with regard to the development of matters in regions of Russia occu- pied by the central powers diverge to such a degree from the views of the central powers that in their present form they must be characterized as in acceptable They do not possess the character of an attitude of compromise for which the central powers have striven, but represent a one side Rus sian demand which excludes the just basis of the opposite party being taken into consideration. -....' <....-.
 'In spite of that the central powers arc prepared again to give a clearly formulated expression of their opin- | ions upon pending questions, this time in a formulated manner, and also to l try to find out if the compromise striven for by them offers any pros- l pect of realization.
 Territories in German Hands l "One portion of the territories occu- pied by the central powers is dealt with | in article one of the German draft | This matter has been deliberated upon and requires no further discussion l The question, according to which | (blank in the Wirelss received by the British admiralty)-state life should l be granted was purely a temporary or ganization and had four stages: Q)- | The time between the conclusion oi
 peace with Russia and the termination of Russian demobilization. (2)-Tht
 time between the Russian peace and . general peace (3)-The time for the
 transition stage of the new peoples
 (4-The finally definitive stage whicf
 the new states require for the complete | installation of their state organization
 Tt must be repeatedly pointed ou
 that for the central powers, as distinc
 from the case of Russia, the conclusion
 of peace with Russia by no means ha: any connection with a general peace
 and that the central powers will b' | compelled to continue the war agains

WORK|NCMEN WILL
 SUFFER SILENTLY IN GOAL DEARTH
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan 17.-Samuel Gompers, president of the American Fedration of-Labor, in a statement to- night declared that the workers of the nation will be the greatest sufferers from the fuel restriction order but that they will maintain their loyal stand despite their suffering and sacrifices which they may be called upon to bear"
 "The shutting down of all indus tries for five consecutive days is only warranted if based upon immediate emergency and I have some doubt if five continued days is the best meas ure," said Mir. Gompers.
 T am in receipt of a large number of telegraphic protests from workers in several parts of the country de- claring that the effect of the odrers will throw men out of employment, , that due to the high cost of living tlTey have been unable to lay anything aside and that their suffering during this period will be very great.
 Tn addition to this, l am strongly of the opinion that to place the indus tries of the country upon an eight hour basic work day at least during the war and as d war measure would have been a much wiser and more Pi dNliNdl COul St lldl lilt CItdllOn or legal holidays which will mean holi- days from Saturday afternoon until Tuesday morning.
 of course the working people of America will maintain their loyal stand despite their suffering and sacrifices which they may be called upon to bear and yet everything must be done to see that they are not made to suffer un- necessarily.
 T have just received a letter from the executive secretary of MT. Garfield the head of the United States fuel ad. ministration, in which he says: Tn con- nection with the order closing dowr industry for five days and subsequent Mondays, l am issuing an appeal to in | dustries concerned, asking them not tt allow labor to suffer by reason of the | shutdown
 T prayerfully hope that our captain. of industry and business men will show their patriotism by needing Dr. Gar 1 fields appeal. It would be most un wise, did they not heed it
