RUSSIAN NLABORING MEN
HAVE CLFVERLY OUTWITTFD
THE GERMAN DIPLOMATS

Wilson s idea of the plain people of
all nations get together and demand
an end of war The German armistice
was part of this plan. The Russian
council of workmen and soldiers, rep
resenting as far as it was possible the
plain people of Russia thrust out its
hands toward the democracy of Ger
many.
They saw hand extended from Ger
many in the vague mists of German
diplomacy. 1t was not clearly defin-
ed hand, but the Russians grasped it
in the hope it might be that of their
brothers in Germany.
Only a few of negotiations showed
instead of having grasped the horny
hand of democracy they had shaken
a hand bearing the gauntlet Of mill
tarism The handclasp is broken today
The Russian dream of reaching
through and beyond militarism and
kaiserism to the German common peo-
pie has been shattered.
If there is German democracy,
such as the Russians hoped to encoun-
ter, it lies behind the stone wall OF
the kaiser S militarism. Proof that it
exists is in the fact that the auto
Gratis ARE preventing Russians from
dropping pamphlets behind the Ger
man lines and that Foreign Minister
Won Kuehlmann will not permit Ger
man socialists to go to Stockholm to
confer officially with Russian liber-
lls
If Lenine and Trotsky cannot reach
the German people now, they must
try to batter down the wall between
them and their German fellows. In
other words. they must again join the
allies and help to fight the way
through to rescue of the German
people.

Austria Hungary Stands
Accused by Catholic Church

Rome, Jan. 5. - Austria-Hungary,
greatest Of all Catholic nations, stands
accused by the Catholic church today,
charged with breach Of faith. 1t was
understood that these exact words of
accusation were made in Pope Bene-
diets recent note of protest to En-
peror Karl against the Teutonic air
raid over Padua, which resulted IN
grave damage to some Of Italy's choie
est church buildings and in the killing
of innocent women sand non-combat-
ants.
The pope's note of protest was ad-
dressed both to the Austro-H Hungarian
monarch and Kaiser wilhelm. Firm
reminder was expressed of the promis-
es Oh both these monarchs at the time
of the start Of the Italian invasion
that Teutonic troops would abstain
from attacks on defenseless cities.
The exact text of the pope's note
will be withheld until receipt Of a re-
ply from the two monarchs.

Central Powers Are Said To
Be Between Devil and
Deep Blue Sea
NEXT STEP TO BE TAKEN
ONE OF UNCERTAINTY
German Peace Delegates Sur
prised To Find Russians
Are Absent
By Webb Miller.

(Unlted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Jan. 5.-The Russian Bolshe-
wiki have put the imperial German
government between the "devil and
the deep sea-" in the universal view
here today.
Germany's next effort to avoid one
or the other contingency will be some
additional concessions in her peace
terms in a desperate effort to prevent
final and complete breaking off in the
negotiations.
Amicable relations with Russia are
vitally necessary for the zaiser's en-
pire after the war. Opportunities for
economic penetration TO restore the
Teutonic commercial position is inn
perative-and particularly with Russia.
In the view of observers here, it is al
most more important than any eastern
conquests.
The German leaders, facing this
necessity, are nevertheless apprehen-
sive lest the Bolsheviki government
may not "stand up"
On the other hand, they are afraid
to loose the bird in hand conquests
their armies have already grabbed,
while there is a chance Of catching,
also, the whole flock,
Evidences multiplied today also that
the internal situation in Germany is
worrying the imperial government
leaders, The pan-Germans are insist
entity demanding that all conquests be
retained.
The liberals and socialists are Just
as determined that all be given up.
The situation in the reichstag is such
that it offers the first chance for a
trial of strength between the annexa-
tionists and the democrats.

but dispatches received by way of |

"Complete restoration of Belgium

"Unless genuine self-government is
granted the Austro- Hungarian national
tiles so long desiring it, it is impossible
to hope for removal of the causes of
unrest in that part of Europe, which
have so long threatened the general
peace" Lloyd-George continued.
con the same ground we regard with
vital satisfaction the legitimate claims
of the Italians for union with those of
their own race and tongue; also the
legitimate aspirations or those of Ru-
manian blood and speech.
The prime minister declared that
there must be reparation of lands oc-
cupied in France, Italy, Serbia, Monte
negro and Syria and Rumania.

nunciamentO of "self f-determinatio tion|'

He pointed out that Belgium 3 fu-
tn refreedom was dependent upon the
allied nations permitting Turkey to
decide the fate Of the Arabs, the
Armenians and the Syrians and like
wise upon restoration to Germany of
her African colonies.
Under such conditions, Lloyd George
maintained call principles of self
determination here, vanish in thin

The allied spokesman declared the
forces of democracy fought for more
than merely to alter or to destroy the
imperial constitution of Germany"
He pointed out in terse phrases the
yawning omissions from Czernin g
statement of war aims as illustrative
of Germany's duphcity in her terms.
The prime minister's speech was to
an audience representative of Britain IS
foremost hberals-trades unionists and
members of the labor party. He was
accorded a great reception.
1t was generally regarded that the
speech was the most important perhaps,
that the prime minister had yet de-

answer to the German peace proffers,
but because of today g situation in

With the British Armies in France,
Jan. 5.-Like heavyweights in the fin
al rounds of finish fight, the British
and German armies during the first
few days of this new year have re-
turned to- mutual sparring, watching
for a lead
Counting time monthly, the giant
scrappers today are jpn their forty
second round. Both are clinched. They
are easing up after the terrible blows
| in recent onslaughts,
| The war zone is still snowbound.
Tho trenches are locked in ice, the gull
lies as hard as granite. Fragments of
frozen earth sprayed by exploding
shells are as deadly as slivers of the
bursting shells themselves.
Despite this sort of weather, the
enemy is unusually busy in small en-
terprises. On our side, we have launch
ed more than dozen raids, big and
little, since New Years day, all the
way from Ypres to St. Quentin.
simultaneously, the German airmen
are attempting a ceaseless watch over
"a sky the color of an iceberg. The pa
itrol means the Prussian high command
lis straining every facility TO get post

Meantime the British know surely
that fresh divisions continue to arrive
on the west front to aid the enemy.
They come principally from Russia.
There are more enemy troops on this
front now than at any time since the
war-and the German ranks are stead
lily increasing.
There is reason to believe these Ger
~ fbo.. ut
any time since the Marne. The collapse
of Russia and the Teutonic advance in
Italy has visibly bueked up the wan
ing courage of the enemy,
Stories that Germany is trumpeting
for great blow on the west front
continue to filter behind the British
lines through the declarations of Ger
man prisoners. They all speak of the
drive as u certainty. Meantime, hostile
airmen are dropping silly leaflets over
the British lines, announcing the com
ing Of German super soldiers, in
the naive belief, apparently, that they
can scare the Tommies But the Tom
mics merely smile derisively. They
have gained the personal impression
that something is off celor inside Of
making peace in any way,

If the present peace plot fails, the
British fighters expect tAermany to
