"The year just closed has been one

EARL READING TO
REPRESENT THE
ENGLISH IN U. S.
New Ambassador to Deal Main
Iy With Business Affairs;
NorthCIiffe Not to
Return.

London, Jan. Earl Reading, lord
chief justice, will go to the United
States as direct representative of the
British war cabinet, according TO the
Daily Express. While Earl Reading
will have the title. of ambassador,
purely diplomatic matters will be in
the hands of charge d'affaires, the
earl controlling war activities. ..
Earl Readings work will, according
to the understanding in official circles,
deal mainly with financial and general
business matters and he will be re-
lieved of the ordinary anikassadorial
functions of handling numerous minor
diplomatic negotions which consti-
tute- large part of the embassy's
work. Colonel E. D. Swipton, assist
ant secretary of the war cabinet and
one OF the originators of the British
tank, will accompany the lord chief
justice as an attache. 49,.
The appointment of Earl Reading
as the ambassador is primarily for
war purposes, it is said, and probably
means that Viscount Northcliffe will
not return to the United States as
head of the permanent British mis-
sion. Lord Northclffe will continue
the active direction in England of the
American mission offices which have
just been established in Crewe house,
a spacious old-fashioned mansion in
the heart of Mayfair. Lord Crewe has
loaned the house to the government
for the duration of the war.
Earl Reading was attorney general
of England as Sir Rufus 1saacs. In
October, 1918, he was appointed lord
chief justice to succeed Lord Alver-
stone and was elevated to the peer
age in December of that year.

LONDON PRESS
APPROVES WAR
AIMS OF GEORGE
Premier's Statement Hailed as
Satisfactory to Allies; Ger
many's Reply Awaited
With Interest.

London, Jan. III the country's
opinion, as is probable in the pres
ent case, can be judged by expires
sions in the London press, it may be
said that never before has Premier
Lloyd George won such universal ap-
proval as is given to his statement
of Saturday concerning Great Brit
aims war aims. 1t is recognized that
there will be divergence of opinion
en- details like the economical terms
of settlement and disposition of Ger
n1any's African colonies, but in all
essentials his statement is hailed as
eminently satisfactory, and the pre-
mier is declared to have performed
Almost important service to the coun-
try.
All interest is now focused on the
qdestion as to how the statement will
be received in Germany. Austria
Hungary and, not the least, in Rus
sia,' but as yet there is nothing to
satisfy this anxious curiosity.
With the exception only of the bel
licose Morning Post, which, however,
is not opposed to the premier's thesis,
the morning newspapers OF London
join in a chorus of approval.
Important Document.
The Times declares it is the most
important state document since the
declaration Of war. 1t commends the
moderation of the statement, which,
however, it thinks, may disconcert
some tried friends and allies and even
lend itself to the enemy misrepresen-
tation.
The Daily Mail says that nothing
could be more simple or more demo-
cratic than the statement and the
whole British people are solid behind
it. The Germans. it declares, will
never get better terms.
Premier Lloyd Georges assertion
that he was not speaking for the gov
ernment, but the nation and the en-
pire, the Daily Telegraph thinks, will
remove load of anxiety from many
troubled minds. 1t says that all the
primary essentials for peace terms are
included in the statement, which,
however. it anticipates will draw a
cry of incredulous rage from Ger
many.

PRO-GERMAN|SM
CHARGE HURLED.
AT WoMAN'SCL
Motion to Buy Thrift Stamps
Voted Down and Mrs. Charles
Rosewater Makes Accusation
Which Starts WrangIe.

A discussion on buying war thrift
stamps, club finances and patriotism
terminated in a hopeless tangle and
charges of pro-Germanism in the
most stirring business meeting the
Omaha Woman's club has held this
winter. 1t was Monday at Metropol-
itan clubhouse.
Liberal investment of club funds in
Liberty bonds and contributions to
Young Mems Christian association

citation war funds made by motion Of
the house, has drawn so heavily on
the clubs treasury that motion was
introduced and passed early in Mon
days business session that expendi-
ture of club funds should be referred
to'the club directory for investigation
before action by the house. .
This was no sooner done than +. A.
Brogan addressed the club urging the
purchase of war savings certificates
and thrift stamps. .
Mrs. Charles Rosewater then moved
that 10 per cent of the clubs yearly
income be used to purchase war thrift
stamps. 4
Guided by the first motion passed.
the club voted Mrs. Rosewater's mo-
ton down.
Charges Pro- -Germanism.
II am amazed at the pro-German
sentiments expressed in this club"
came from Mrs. Rosewater. "You
don't need the clubhouse for which
you are boarding the money in the
bank. What will you do with club
house if YOUR boys are killed in the
war. Pm ashamed of you, every one of
YOU" she exclaimed.
Mrs. r. ]. Birss, Mrs. S. A. Collins
and others jumped to the floor to re-
flute the charge. I'VE voted the mo-
tion down in order to have the busi-
ness carried on through the channel
indicated by our first notion" they
explained.

Wrangle Ensues.
The wrangle >ensued until one calm
person moved to refer the matter to
the directory.
Then Mrs. c. w. Hayes moved that
the club formally express its loyalty
and that it was not of pro-German
sentiment, for fear OF any misunder-
standing, and this the women did by
loud and prolonged applause.

REDS PREPARE
TO GIVE BATTLE
y TO GERMAN FOE
BoIsheviki Declares Radicals
Do Not Desire Help of Allies,
Raising Army to Fight
for Ideal.
OBy Associated Press,)

London, Jan. 7.-The Bolsheviki
are definitely Strengthening the front,
Petrograd atvices say. The CORE
spondent of the Daily News obtained
this information from M. Radek, one
of, the Russian delegates who took a
prominent part in the negotiations
with the, Austrians and Germans at
Petrograd. He said the Bolsheviki
were intending to send home all who
did not wish to fight, so that they
would have an army which was will
ing to fight for an ideal, {.
The correspondent asked what
would be the attitude of the Bolshe-
wiki in case of actual war, with regard
to help from the allies"
M, Radek replied: we do not de-
sire their help. Our strength lies in
Our weakness, and if we accepted help
from the allies, the significance Of
our position would be destroyed. The
weaker we are the stronger we are.
The Germans can drive us back, but
what good would it do them?"
e.. Country Has Been Stripped.
"The. country behind the front has
been stripped bare. There is not
enough there to feed single horse.
The Germans will not wish millions
of starving persons on their hands.
"We stand, for democratic peace.
So do the German working classes.
If the German government attacks
us it will display Itself to its own
people in its. own true light"
A telegram from Brest-Litovsk to
Amsterdam gives a wireless message
sent TO M. Joffe, chairman of the
Russian delegation, by Foreign Min
lister. Won .Kuehlman for the German
delegation, Foreign Minister Czernin
for the Austrians, Foreign Minister
Nessinmy Bey for the Turks, and
Minister of Justice Ropof for the
Bulgarians. 1t recalls that when the
central powers outlined the terms OH
which they were willing to make
peace they stipulated that these terms
would be valid only if all the belliger-
ents bound themselves within a cer-
tain period to observe them. The
Russians then fixed 10 days as the
period in which the other belligerents
were to decide to join in the negotia-
tions, but, although this time elapsed
January q, nothing has been heard
from them.
Discussion Favors Germany.
Another telegram from Brest-Li-
tovsk states that informal discussions
there Friday between the Germans
and Ukrainians took direction ia
vorable to Germany.
A Petrograd dispatch to the Daily
Mail says that General Nissel, head
of the French military mission, replied
to Foreign Minister Trotzky's COM
plant respecting French military
propaganda by stating that certain
news received from Stockholm had
been issued by a young officer by mis-
take, The general promised that no
such mistakes would be made again.
NJ. Trotzky replied with a demand
that the officer in question leave Rus
sia.
The correspondent adds that it is a
pity that some of tie allied diplomats
pretend to ignore NJ. Trotzky, while
in fact they are obliged to recognize
his authority.

The report from German sources
that fear of intrigue in Stockholm on
the part Of entente interests would
endanger the work of the plentipo-
tentiaries is not confirmed from Pet
rograd. Foreign Minister TroHky
went to Brest- -Litovsk in vain at

SOCIALISTS MAY DESERT.
In Germany the political situation
is much disturbed over the attitude
of the liberal parties concerning the
governments stand upon the pro-
posed transfer. The socialists appear
to be the stumbling block and there
is danger that they may desert the
Reichstag majority, making it neces-
sary for the government to reform
the party alignments.
Berlin has issued an official denial
that General Won Ludendorff, first
quartermaster general, has resigned.
The general, with his chief, Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg, was pres
ent at the crown council which de-
cided to suspend the Russian negotia-
tions. -.let --..-.... .
Crown Council Meets.
London, Jan. ,6.-German advices
Saturday were to the effect that the
Bolsheviki delegates, on finding that
the representatives of the Teutonic
allies were at Brest-Litovsk awaiting
them, had started for this town, but
nothing has come through to show
that these had any foundation in. fact.
The decision of the Germans. to- dis
continue the sittings was arrived at
during a crown council held in Berlin
Saturday, which was attended by
Field Mafshal Won Hindenburg and
General Won Ludendorff, first quar-
termaster general.
A belated dispatch from Berlin
gives as the reason for the refusal Of
the Germans to consider Stockholm
a place where peace might be advan-
tageously discussed the fear that
British, French and American diplo-
mats in the Swedish capital would by
intrigue render all endeavors futile
Situation Serious in Berlin.
Dispatches from Berlin indicate
that although the Reichstag parties in
the main are supporting the COVERT
ment, considerable political unrest'is
prevalent- and that strong efforts are
being made to hold the socialists in
line. The socialist organ in Berlin
characterizes the situation as extraor-,
Armistice in Ukraine. T..
An armistice has been declared in,
the Ukraine region, the Rada, the
Ukrainian Legislative body, and the
Bolsheviki having agreed to a compro-
mise of their difficulties. The Rada is
said to be ready to decline to give
support to General Kaledines and his
~ossacks in return for the withdrawal
of the Bolsheviki troops from the
Ukraine. ..
