organizer until ToWnley had Governor Frazier appoint him as

a meeting Of the newspapernen in connection with the said state

seems that he met with rather poor success. AS a rule the news
feel very well pleased to see such a man as Box running the state
council of defense. AS for ourselves, we feel that we are too
much of an American citizen to wander off after such men as
Box, and even if we were right in Bismarck at the time we would

RUSSIANS FIND UNACCEPTABLE
GERMAN ANNEXATION DEMAND

Petrograd, Jan. 2.-The Russian
peace delegation returned to Petro-
grad today and reported to joint
session of the central executive COM
mittee of Soldiers and Workmen's
delegates and the Petrograd Council
of Soldiers and Workmen's deputies
the progress of the negotiations with
the Austro- G Germans at Brest-Litovsk.
M. Kameneff, a member of the
Russian delegation, read the Ger
man terms, which he characterized as
showing the positive annexation
plans of the Central Powers and he
declared they were unacceptable in
their present form. He added that
the terms had not been discussed.
"If, after the resumption of ne
gotiations," the delegates said, "the
Germans insist upon these terms,
Russia will conclude peace, not with
German imperialists, but with repre-
sentatives of the people, the socialists
of Germany.

new YEARS GIVES
ITALIANS A VICTORY
Enemy Driven From Strong
Position on Pave River
German Raid Repulsed.
(By the Associated Press)

Italian troops have won the first
victory recorded in the new year.
The defensive line from Lake Garda
to the Adriatic has been strength
cned by the Italian success in driv-
ing Austro-Germans from the Zen
son bridgehead on the western bank
of the Piave, which they have held
since November.
While holding strong position in
the mountain region from Asiago
across the Brenta to the Piave, the
Italian flank along the Piave is now
intact. The enemy has replied only
with artillery to the French stroke
which gained valuable positions in
the Monte Tomba region.
The weather apparently also is
coming to the aid of the hard-pressed
Italian army, which had little rest
since the Austro-German drive be-
gan in October. Heavy snow is fall
ing on the Swiss-Italian and Swiss
Austrian frontiers. Troops and other
trains are being held in the Alps by
the snow and the food supply of en-
emy troops on the Italian northern
front has been cut off temporarily.

MILLION GREEKS
WERE MASSACRED
By Turks and Teutons in Ash
attic Turkey Men, Women
and Children Brutally Mur-
dered. -

New York, Dec. 31.-At least
100000 Greeks, men, women and
children, have perished as the result
of organized massacres and deporta-
tions by "the Turco-Teutons" in ASH
attic Turkey, according to state
ment by Lazaros George Macrides,
son Of leading merchant of Trebi-
zond, made public thru the Armenian
and Syrian relief committee here to-
day.
Macrides, who recently arrived
here, said he was one of party of
1900 Greeks which was rescued by
the Russian fleet that bombarded
the town of Ordou late last August
and took the refugees aboard. He
had been taken to Ordou, he said.
when the Turks raided TrebiZond
and seized his fathers store along
with those of other Greek merchants.
"Those of us who were between
the ages of 16 and so were drafted
into the Turkish army" said Mac
rides. "Our women and children and
the older men were placed temporar-
lily in homes and orphanages until
the opportunity offered to dispose of
them in the approved Turco-Teuton
fashion, which in this instance turn
ed out to be by wholesale drowning.
"The unfortunate survivors of de-
portation were towed out for several
miles into the Black sea and then
suddenly dumped overheard just like
so much garbage. None of them sur
vived. German efficiency has simply
organized the natural brutality Of the
Turk and made it many times more
effective than ever before. ! should
think that at the most conservative
estimate, at least, one million of my
Efelfow countff ntffJlfinen have perished
miserably thru the organized cruelty
of this Turco-Teutonic alliance. The
only hope of the future lies in Amer
ica."

became deeply involved in the Ital-
ian campaign, they had no real
broad plan of invasion. The local
advantages won by the Austro-Ger-
man strategy were expanded from
day to day, as barriers which they
themselves believed would hold firm,
mysteriously gave way.
s'It is evident from the repeated
transfer of troops from the Trentino
front to the Piave area and later
back again to the Trentinu, that the
enemy was pursuing an opportunist
plan of campaign, rather than fo:-
lowing we'll rounded out and def
mite strategic operation.
"An examination of the tactical
dispositions of the enemy shows that
when he met with rebuff at one
point, he Immediately shifted the
center Of attack to another.
Planning With Russia.
''The Germans are now endeavor-
ing to persuade Russia that they are
eager to assist in the task of restor-
ing normal internal conditions in
that country.
ALREADY the Germans are taking
up the work openly in Petrograd.
Large numbers of German officers
are at large in Russia. The German
embassy building in the Russian
capital is being made ready for oc-
cupancy.
"In the Balkan theater.a new
commander in chief of the allied
forces has been appointed. Tho no
unusual military activity is reported
from this area, information reaches
us Of hostile concentrations and in
CERTAIN quarters it is believed that
the enemy may undertake an offen4
sive operation in an endeavor to,
strike at the point Of junction of
the French and Italian forces.

continued their successes and are
pushing northward from Jaffa. Now
that details Of the campaign in this
