Eight, in Open Boat
5 Weeks and Nearly
Starved, Reach Port
Survivors of Bark Sunk by
Submarine Row to Island
of West Indies

TURKS ISLAND, B. W. l., Nov. 81
The captain and seven men Of the
Norwegian bark Stihnder, who had
been missing since their vessel was
stopped by German submarine and
they were forced to take to small
boat, on October 13, have arrived here
after more than three weeks exposure
and.in an almost starved condition.
The captain said his small boat made
for Halifax, but soon capsized, and most
of their provisions were lost. They
managed to right the craft, and then,
because of the extremely cold weather,
they decided to try for Bermuda. In
stead. they rowed all the way to Turks
Island from a point approximately
1000 miles east of New York.
The arrival of the captain and seven
men of the Stifinder at Turks Island
accounts for the entire crew The
others reached New York last week
after being picked up by a United
States naval ship. They reported that
the crew of a German submarine had
abandoned the Stifinder's men to their
fate after boarding the bark and plac-
ing bombs on her.

it must not exceed three pounds in

German Oil Supply
Cut Off by Austria

WASHINGTON. Nov 5.-One effect
of the elimination of Austria from the
war, the fuel administration announced
tonight, would be the cutting off Of
Germany's supply of fuel oil and gas
olene.
Germany has been obtaining fuel oil
and Gasolene from Galicia and Ru-
mania, and was planning to import ex-
tensively from the Caucasus. the an
nouncement said, but under the terms
of the Austrian armistice all traffic be-
tween Germany and her former ally
must stop.
Within the German borders there are
no supplies of fuel oil, and Germany
has been using benzol, a derivative Of
coal tar, for lubricating oil. This lat
ter source, it was said, will not supply
German needs.
The Italian fuel situation, which has
been serious from the beginning of the
war, it was said, will not be improved
materially by the Austrian armistice.
The Austrian mines, worked to full
capacity. furnish only enough coal for
that nations needs.

u. S. and Allies to
Ignore Bolsheviki
Peace Parley Offer
Reds Will Be Told to Make
Overtures to Omsk
Heads

LONDON Nov. 5.--The Bolshevik
government of Russia, it is reported
from Petrograd, has handed the neu-
tral ministers q note for transmission
to the Entente nations asking for the
opening of peace negotiations in order
that hostilitics between the Allies and
the Soviet government may be ended,
says an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Copenhagen.
The note asks the Allies to decide
upon the time and place for the hold
ing of the negotiations.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5--Efforts of
the Bolshevik government to discuss
the withdrawal of the United States
and allied forces from Russia through
negotiations for an armistice are at
tracing no serious attention here. The
associated nations do not recognize the
Lenine and Trotzky regime in any way,
and it was explained that if the Boil
sheviks wanted negotiations they should
address the Russian government at
Omsk, the only authority in Russia
with which the United States and the
allies deal.
The government of the north, the
capital of which is Archangel, has tel
cgraphed the government at Omsk that
J. recognizes the latter's supremacy
a'd cooperates with it as an Individual
district or state in the government.
The Omsk government has proclaimed
war upon Germany, and with it's own
forces, augme ented by the forces Of the
United States and the allied countries.
Is actually fighting against the Boil
shevlk forces. A week ago Tchitcherin,
the Bolshevik Foreign Minister, was re-
ported to have proposed that an ar
mist'ce be arranged between the United
States and the allies and the Soviet
government. This proposal was pub
lished from Moscow, but as none of the
belligerents has recognized the Soviet
rule in Russia, no official attention
was paid to it. 1t was regarded as
propaganda for popular consumption
rather than serious proposal
Officials here said it was safe to as
sumo that the forces of the United
States and the allies will not be with
drawn from Russia until an ORDERLY
government has been established
throughout the country and stop nut
to the reign of terror against which
Secretary Lansing called upon all CIV
lllzed nations to join in protesting.
