WASHINGTON, March 14.-State De-

ports from Stockholm that some Amer
leans who left Finland on neutral
ship after the German occupation were
/ taken prisoners.
The department also learned that
twenty-five Americans who left Hell

Red Guard at Bjoerneborg, on the west
coast of Finland northwest of Helsing-
fors. The information came from Min
lister Morris, at Stockholm, who cabled
that he had learned from American
Consul Haynes, one of the party, that
passes had been refused them
All of the Allied missions except the
British, who were on their way from
Russia via Helsingfors to Sweden, got
through, Mr.. Morris reported The
French had induced the Red Guard to
agree to an armistice permitting pas
sage of all fugitives, but this arrange
ment was rejected by General Mann

Fifteen hundred New York Socialists

Of Russian Soviets. in Moscow, urging
Them not 20 declare peace with Ger

the "traitorous hosts of Prussian Junk

tic yesterday by William Edlin, chair
nan OF the Jewish Socialist League of
America.
It read:
ITO you comrades and defenders of
Russian liberty We. 500 Jewish -Ameri-

act Of the liberty loving people Of all
tie corners Of the earth against the
most vicious and brutal military ma.
chine OF all time.
Your cause is our cause. Your sub

considered from the point of view of
securing the freedom of small nations
and saving the world from the domina-
ton of one greedy power, Mr.. Balfour
said, nothing could be more unfortunate
than the coincidence between the Rus
sian revolution and the war that was
being conducted by Russia and her
alles. He was optimistic about Rus
sla. but not about Russias immediate
future
Still Has Hope in Russia
Mr.; Balfour said he thought it i'm
possible TO nave found remedy for
the mlsfortunes that had occurred to
civilization itself from the fact that
the Russian revolution occurred in the
middle of the European war. but he

fortunately came at time when Rus
sla was weary of the sacrifices of war.
and 1t was mixed up with and almost
overshadowed on it's political side bv
pacliist influences which were allowed
to gam control in the army and navy
and other forces which should have
oeen coordlnated to resist the common
enemy
Mr.: Balfour contrasted the French
Revolution, which had resulted in the
creation of an army whose efficiency
was the wonder of Europe, with the
Russian revolution. which had deliber-
ately. and completely destroyed every
tghting instrument. This destruction
involved also the gallant Rumanian
army.
He cast not the slightest aspersion
en- the Bolsheviki. but declared it was
obvious to the world that the course
they had pursued rendered them help
less in the face of German aggression
The Bolsheviki had now expressed a
genuine and earnest desire to recon
stitutc the army, and would doubtless
welcome the assistance of Great Brit
ain in carrying out that subject. But
such reconstruction of the shattered
instrument of defence could not be
accom- plishcd in day.
II. B. Lees Smith, Liberal, for North
ampton, who several days age notified
the House of his intention, asked Mr..
Balfour whether he could give the
House any information regarding the
rumors as to the intentions of Japan in
Asiatic Russia and what was the atti-
tude of Great Britain on this subject.
Cites Presidents Message
Lord Robert Cecil. he said, bad made
q statement on the question which was
of a startling character and most un-
fortunate at the present time. There
was not the slightest evidence, he de-
clared, in support of the statement
that a large number of German pris-
oners in Siberia had been armed and
that German general was on the way
TO organize them. There was no evil
dence that Germany was going to play
into the Allies hands and dissipatc her
forces by mad expedition into ST.

from Berlin today. under az agree

This information was published by
German army headquarters.
Fighting in the Ukraine is becoming

that the Germans have frequently en-
caged in furious battles with their
former comrades in arms.
When the deserters are taken Irison-

report that n strong German detach-
ment OF troops has occupied Abo, on

The people of the Aland Islands,

man to send a message to the Moscow
conference, and declared that the
avowed policy and language of Presi-
dent Wilson were quite at variance
with those of Lord Robert Cecil, which
contemplated a policy which would
mean that Japan would have to make
war on the Soviet government of Rus
sla, because if she entered Russia she
would be resisted by the Soviet troops.
IT Japan entered Russian territory
seized and occupied it at the mandate
of the Alliance, it followed with almost
absolute certainty that this territory
would not be returned.
Asked by member "why not ?" Mr..
Lees Smith replied:
Did Japan return Corea?"
Mr.. LeesSmith hoped that Great
Britain would follow the line of policy
laid down by President Wilson If she
did not, but gave way to the desires of
Japan, she would not be acting for her
own best interests, for Russia, despite
what had happened, would remain a
great country, and when she revived,
would be glad to have her as friend
Alexander M. Scott, Liberal, Glasgow,
ccntended that the danger to the
stores at Vladivostok was insignificant
in comparison with the menace with
which the whole Allied campaign and
strategy in the East were threatened.
If there was the slightest foundation
for Mr.. Lccs-Smith's contention that
whenever foreign troops invade a coun-
hnx l,1 c+o
nexation results, said the Foreign sec
retary,it was very bad lookout for
Northern France.
Russia Derelict
Could not Mr.. Lees Smith see that
Russia was now a derelict upon the
waters, with no power of resistance
whatever, and that there would be Ger
nina penetration from end to end Of
Russia that would be absolutely dis
astrous for Russia?
81 believe that the House does not
know how far this penetration has
already gone said Mr.. Balfour. 81
suspect that at this moment a German
officer would be much safer travelling
through Russia than would an Allied
officer. Only one bank is allowed a.

when every instrument to make resist

DO not think that Germany will try to
send great organized forces from Riga
to Vladivostok; that would be an op-
Grafton of great difficulty, and, from
purely military viewpoint, an unnecds-
sary and even fatal waste of time.
Russia is q country of surprises, and
IT is impossible to predict her future.
put the thing most to be feared for
Russia is that it is Germany's interest
to foster and promote disorder.

that other countries should be weak.
and she knows that there is no better
way than in making them divided.
What would be the result of this dis
order and division? Men will at least

German Acts in Aland

Sluedish Popers

WASHINGTON, March 14-An official
dispatch from Stockholm to-day said
the Swedish press, including the con-
servativc papers. is indignant over the
Aland Islands, where the Swedish popu
lation is being forced to enroll in the
White Guard.
Moeller, head of the Swedish Social
ist delegation that was sent to the
south Of Finland, has just returned to
Stockholm and is quoted as declaring
the Germans are showing great bru-
tality and acting as though they already
had forgotten that they were in a neu-
trail country. English civilians arriving
in the islands are said to have been
arrested by the Germans.
