AGAINST
ENVOY FRANCIS
Will Be Held Responsible for
Safety of Berkman and
Emma Goldman.

Washington. Jan. 39.-Ambassador Fran
els at Petrograd cabled the state depart-
ment to-day that group of Russian an
archists had notified him he would be
held personally responsible for the safety
Of Alexander Berkman and Emma Gold
man. under prison sentence in the United
States for violating the draft law.
No indication as to the probable power
Of the threatening anarchists to make
trouble for him was given by the ambas-
sador. State department officials think he
did not take the matter very seriously and
apparently little alarm is felt here.
Unless further advices make 1t neces-
sary, no instructions will be given Mr..
Francis.
1t has been known for some time that
anarchists in Petrograd were interesting
themselves in the fate of Berkman and
Miss Goldman. who are about to begin
two year terms in federal penitentiaries.
An anarchist organ published in Petro-
grad recently carried an infiammatory ar
ticle urging that the American ambassa-
dor be held responsible for the safety and
freedom Of the prisoners.
Although the peace conference at Brest-
Litovsk was to have been resumed Tues
day, nothing has come through to show
that the Bolshevik and Austro-Germans
delegates met for the purpose Of attempt
ing to clear away the differences that exist
between them.
In Finland the trouble between the gov
ernment forces and revolutionists con-
tinues to grow in extent. The revolutionists
are declared to have formed . govern
ment Of their own. All southern Finland
is said to be in the hands Of the Red
Guard. while the government forces in the
north are asserted to have defeated and
disarmed the revolutionaries at various
places and to have started southvard to
give battle to the elements Of disaffection
there. The socialists have taken a hand
In the trouble, having issued q manifesto
declaring that the Finnish government
desires to rule the proletariat. -'.
Although Finland has appealed to
Sweden for military aid. such aid ID
not likely to be rendered. On the con-
trary. Sweden apparently has shown
it's desire to keep aloof from the con-
troversy by closing the frontier to
prevent the Red Guard from obtain
ing weapon.

trians In the mountain region Of north

An intensive artillery duel Is now in

According to the Vorwaerts the move

selves, but it was resolved that both sec

of contradictory orders. The railway mer
