tA0tUU OI|SSpOTLUGVCG
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-The State
Department received cable from the
American Legation at Stockholm TODAY
reporting rumor that the Allied diplo-
mats had been expelled from Russia by
the Bolsheviki and were en- route to
Sweden. The report was published in
the Swedish press, railroad authorities
having been given as the source of the
information.
The State Department has received
no cable from Ambassador Francis at
Petrograd since February 4, and has no
other information relative to the re-
ported action of the Bolsheviki.
Officials here do not believe the ru-
NOR. 1t is considered certain that. in
the event of any such action by the
Bolsheyiki, foreign correspondents at
Petrograd would report it, as they have
been treated with considerable latitude
by the Rplshevik censorship.
State Department officials were un-
prepared to believe that the American
Ambassador was leaving Petrograd be-
cause his last dispatch contained moth.
ing to indicate that he contemplate ted
going. 1t was considered possible
however, that expulsion might also in
clude refusal to permit the diplomats

ments.
Minister Morris at Stockholm also re.
ported that two trains from Petrograd
had arrived there, one bringing the ex.
PEELED Rumanian Legation. He also re.
ported the capture of Tornea by the
White Guards.
1t was assumed that the ministers
information regarding the reported ex.
pulsion of diplomats from Petrograc
was received from passengers on those
trains. Recently Ambassador Francis
received threats from group of anar.
chists to hold him responsible for the
safety of Alexander Berkman anc

for canspiring against the draft law
There appeared to be no reason for be-

West Front Fighting
Is Confined to Raids
Petain's Scouts Successful in
Verdun Theatre; Germans
Active on Meuse

LONDON, Feb S.-The war Offices
of Berlin, Paris and London are unani-
nous in reporting only limited fighting
activity on the West Front to-day. The
French statement tells only Of a sue
9cessful raid by Petains troops west of
FORCES. on the Verdun front. Berlin
records the taking of prisoners on the
opposite bank of the Meuse, near Bezon-
vaux, and in the vicinity of Ornes, but
makes no mention of any fighting else
where on the front. Field Marshal
Haig's statement contains no account Of
infantry operations, reporting merely
artillery activity north of st. Quentin.
From these communicates it would
appear that all except minor tactical
fghtisg has ceased for the moment on
the British front, from Cambria to the
sea, while a corresponding lull obtains
along the greater part Of the French
front, excepting only in the Ferdun
area AS none of the official reports
speaks of severe weather conditions,
the rather abrupt cessation of infantry
actions may be merely the prelude TO
an outburst of heavy operations.

The revolt in Austria against Ger.
man domination is becoming more
open. In a recent issue the "Arbeitcy
Zeitung," of Vienna, said that if all
the world was arrayed against the Ger
trail Empires it was not due to Eng
lish capitalism. but to German imperial
ism, and continued:
THE Pan-Germans have done every
thing they could during this war ia
excite the people Of the world againsi
the Central Empires. They have repra-
scnted the invasion Of Belgium as tie
most natural thing in the world: they
have laughed at the victims of t1 {
Zeppelins in London; they have lauchc ca
at the unfortunate victims of torpedo
lngs and have set out in advance the
details of cruelties to be practise I'D
against the civil populations Of the in.
vaded countries. And after all this
after forcing the world into war agains
the Central Empires, they demand q
victorious peace
But we have no need of conuuests
on the Pan-German model. We want

to achieve these victories and show

not the right to speak for the Germsr

Consignee, Not Shipper,
Must Get Permit to Shin

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. s.-The Penn-
sylvania Railroad announced tonight
that it will put in effect at once on all
lines east of Pittsburgh a new plan Of
handling freight under embargo. Under
the plan, which will remain in force
during the war and as long thereafter
as necessary for regulating freight
traffic to avoid congestion, the CON
signee and not the shipper must apply
for a permit to ship freight.
The person who is to receive tie
shipment must demonstrate to rea-
sonable degree that it is necessary to
meet his existing requirements, and
that he will be able to unload the cars
without delay.
The new arrangement will not apply
to export traffic via New York, Phila-
delphia or Baltimore, or to domestic
carload shipments to New York. This
traffic is in charge of the freight traffic

Four Minute Men
Unduly Disturbed,
u. S. Ship Men Say
Organization Complained
of Lack of Coordination
in Drive for Workers

None of the worries which have be-
set the New York Four Minute Men in
their drive to win recruits for the ship
yards had transmitted themselves, up
to yesterday to the local construction
Office of the Shipping Board.
The Four Minute Men have feared
for the success of their campaign, due
to "lack Of coordination" and Joseph
B. Thomas, their chief, is now awaiting
action on a volumnous report which
he recently sent on to Washington. In
it he complained that adequate reg
istraton facilities had not been pro-
vidcd for men moved by the appeals of
his 300 orators to volunteer for work
on ships.
Calls Worry Unwarranted
Possibly it was as result of this
report that Edward N. Hurley, chair
man of the Shipping Board, telegraphe ID
from Washington yesterday asking the
newspapers to inform would-be reg
istrants that they might write direct to
him for instructions.
A. C. Wilkie, in charge of the boards
office at 115 Broadway, said he be-
lieved the four minute men were per-
hitting themselves to be unduly dis.
turbed.
"Right now there is no great demand
for shpbuilders and no particular need
for hurry" he said. "Probably it will
be three weeks before the yards begin
to increase from their present force of
between $4,000 and 10000 men to the
100000 desired. Even after that, the
extra labor will be taken on gradually
eve aren't worried about being able
to get labor when wanted. The wages
offered are so high that it isn't even
necessary, when you come, right down
to it, to oSmake any special appeal to a
workman's patriotism. Shipbuildng
under present conditions is mighty
good thing as a business proposition
Men enough can be gotten in the ordi-
nary way, | am convinced.
"Just what is being done along out
side lines to stimulate enrolment
don't know. There are so many new
bureaus and divisions and departments
at Washington now that we can't keep
track of them. Every few days some
stranger comes in and introduces him
self as the representative of some
strange department. We tell him as
much as we can of what he wants to
know; then he goes away and we never
hear of him again. | suppose it all has
its purpose, but we don't pay much at
tention to it. We're building ships
every minute, and that keeps us busy"
Wrong Men Blamed
Mr.. Wilkie said it is the Industrial
Service Bureau of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation which has in charge the
enrolment of shipyard workers. All
along, tangled in a multiplicity OF new
Washington departments, Mr.. Thomas
has been blaming the "lack of co.
ordination" on Director Hall, of the
United States Public Service Reserve.
Mr.. Wilkie said he never heard OF
either Mr.. Hall nor the Public Service
Reserve, but admitted it was possible
and even likely that both existed. Still
ne was sure they had no active part in
the recruiting campaign.
