would take the company's property for
public use without compensation, we're
sustained
Justice Holmes, Brandeis and Clarke

proceedings should be dismissed. Low
er court valuations of the company's
property at s13.415.S99 were upheld.

upon the signing of the peace treaty,
the Izvestia organ of the soldiers and
worlmen's deputies. says the purpose
of the Lenine government in agreeing
to the German terms was to give a
respite to the Socialist revelation so
as to enable II to reassemble its forces
for the supreme struggle against i'm
perialism, and to assist the proletariat
OF other European countries to revolt
against its oppressors.
The Bolshevik leaders are prepared
to withdraw even as far as to the Ural
mountains rather than submit to the
defeat of the revolution, said Leon
Trotzky, Bolshevik foreign minister
in an interview
NJ Trotzky said that II the Bolshev-
Xxi could go back to the state of af-
fairs which existed last October. just
before they overthrow the Kerensky
government, they would repeat the
whole program which has been put
through since that time.
'In October we did not exclude the
possibility of holy war" he declared
Now we consider such wsr possi-
BILE. The soldiers and workmen's dele
gates must now fight for organization
and order"
Moscow is to be declared the new
capital of Russia and the government
proposes to publish statement to
this effect Immediately Petrograd
will be proclaimed a free port.
Notwithstanding the signing OF
peace the government is determined
to transfer all the state institutions to
Moscow, Nizni-Novgorod and Kazan.

JAPAN TO RAID SIBERIA.
America Agrees With Allies on Plan

Washington. March Exchanges
regarding the situation in Siberia and

PEACE TALK FROM
 TEUTON|C VISION
C0ut Von Hcrtling Says Evacuation of Russia 'Concerns Only Rus
 sians and Central Powers
 Points Germans Comedies.

Berlin, Jan. 25.-Count yon Hert- ling, imperial chancellor, addressing the reichstag today, said that the evacuation of Russian territory concerned only Russia and the cen tral powers.
 Commenting on the fourteen points President Wilson outlined in his recent peace program before Congress, HertIing said that an agreement is possible with out diff iiculty on the first four points, but that the fifth point would meet diff iiculty.
 Germany, he said, had never de- manded the incorporation of Bell gium by violence, adding that the question of Poland must be decided by Germany and Auslria-Hungary.
 When all else is settled Germany will be ready to discuss a league of peace, he declared.
 Von Hertling contended that AL sace-Lorraine are almost entirely German territory, and that a settle ment of their disposition will be discussed only by France and Ger many.
 Regarding points nine, ten and eleven of President Wilson's peace von Hertling declared that where German interests are con- cerned they will be defended ener- getically.
 These points call for an adjust ment of the Italian frontiers on na- tional lines, free opportunity for au- tonomous development of the peo- pie of Austria Hungary, the evacu- ation of Rumania, Serbia, Monte negro and international guarantees of the independence of the Balkan states.

The Austrian View.

London, Jan. 25.-Austria has de- cided to continue the peace nego- tiations with Russia on the basis of no annexations nor indemnities, ae- cording to Count Czernin, in a speech he made today before the reichsrath.
 He declared that an exchange of views between American and Aus tria- Hungary might form the start ing point for a conciliatory discus sion of peace.
 Czernin, commenting on the four teen points in President Wilson's peace program, said that Austria Hungary and America are virtually agreed regarding the great princi- pies for new arrangements after the war, characterizing President Will sons speech as "an important ad- vance toward the Austrian view point"
