Trying to Diuide Allies,
Asserts the Paris ''Temps'

PARIS, Jan. 2.-"Never was the AL
Lorraine question further from
being the sole obstacle to peace" says
the ''Temps" in its comment on the
speeches Of the German Chancellor and
the Austro- Hungarian Foreign Minis
ter. "This only is the most visible
symbol Of the untractable German I'm
perialism."
The Temps says that the German
Chancellor fails utterly to follow the
reasoning Of his collaboration, DR.. Rich
ard Won Kuehlmann, the German For
.eign Secretary, declaring "For were
tion the only bar to peace he would
have been obliged to declare Germany's
readiness to restore Belgium without
restrictions to assure the Poles, Lithu-
anians and Let's freedom to settle
their own destinics."
"Instead," says the "Tcmps," Chan
cellor Won Hertling carefully avoided
doing this. Over Belgium he leaves a
menacing doubt. He refuses all expla-
nation to the Allies about the Eastern
front, and he doesn't even promise that
French territory will be evacuated
without reserve.
Although Chancellor Won Hertling
accepts such clauses in the American
programme as appear advantageous for
Germany by Interpreting them accord
or reserves the means of invRlidating
them. He attempts to open a
separate debate with each Of the En-
tente Allies, or even to make one con-
tradict the other. Chancellor Won
Hertling's principal programme, it ap~
pears, is to separate from Wilson's pro-
gramme the Alsace-Lorraine question"

Peace Out of the Question
Now. View of Italian Press

ROME, Jan. 20;-"We must keep up
the fight" says the "Epocha," in com
menting on the speeches Of Chancellor
Won Hertling and Foreign Minister
Czcrnin.
The "Tribuna" says peace is out Of
the question until the enemy accepts
the chief conditions laid down by the
Allies, especially in regard to Poland.
1t believes President Wilson's views
demonstrate his political acumen. as
they would mean the erection Of
Polish state as bulwark between the
Central empires and the Slavic world.
The "Idea Nazignale" says it is evil
dent from both speeches that Germany
and Austria are aiming at the building
up of middle Europe, and that Germany
believes she now has the power to en-
force her programme.

fences, "The Post" says: "Now, having

"The Telegraph" fears that the
speeches OF the German Chancellor and
tho Austro- Hungarian Foreign Minister
contribute nothing to the pacitication
of Europe, and believes that there is
no radical divergence in the views Of
Germany and Austria.
THE Chronicle" says that Chancellor
Won Hertling, while giving guarded
and practically valueless assent to
some Of President Wilson'S abstract
principles, refuses every one Of the
concrete territorial demands.
THE Daily Mail" says:
"lf there are any shirkers or bQ-
levers in peace by negotiation still

Chinese to Boycott Japan
IStaf Correspoude1lce1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Advices
from Toxic state that there are indi-
cations that the Chinese may start boy
cotting Japanese goods, both in Man
churia and Shsntung Province. In
Manchuria the Chinese resent the re-
cent abolition OF the silver note sys-
tenn, which has been maintained by the
Yokohama Specie Bank several years,
and which has given much facility to
the Chinese in their mon etary dealings.
The silver note system Of the Yoko-
hama Bank in Manchuria was recently
replaced with gold note one Of the
Bank Of Corea for the unitication Of
the Japanese monetary systems in the
railway zone in Manchuria.

State Department Reports
Confirm Austrian, Unrest

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--Contirma-
tory reports Of the labor troubles in
Austria were received at the State De-
partment to-day in dispatch from
Holland. This dispatch was sent, how
cver, prior to January. 60, and added
nothing to the unofficial information
already received. The report was
based upon facts secured from German
sources. and indicated that the cause
for the disorders in Austria was polti-
cal as we'll as economic and was a
manifestation of growing desire in
that country for peace.
Ohicials Of the State Department dis
played interest to-day in the reactions
that have been recorded among the So
cialists in Germany MS a result Of the
speeches Of Won Hertling and Czernin.
The opinion Of Scheidemann was given
especial consideration. since it is q
clear indication of the attitude of the
more conservative group of Socialists.

The workingmcn OF Germany want
peace, but the present rulers do not,
and as long as they remain in power
there Is very little hope Of peace. This
is the belief Of Herr Haase, the Ger
man minority Socialist leader, and he
had the courage to say SO In a speech
be made recently in the Reichstag.
He declared than dozens Of his
friends and number of members Of
the Reichstag had been prohibited
from speaking to their constituents for
the duration Of the war, says the
Westminster Gazette" of London.
The government, he continued, was
gathering material for fresh prosecu-
tions, and the so-called party truce was
nothing. but military dictatorship and
police despotism carried to the point
OF persecution.
"These gentlemen" he said, pointing
to the government, "still seem to think
that they can kill opinion by the mill
tary cudgel and police sabre. The pam
Germans are IN power now, and If

British Labor
Stands Firmly i'm
Support of War
After 3 Days Conference,
Declares World Must Be
Rid of Militarism

NOTTINGHAM, England, Jan. Go
The British Labor party has closed the
most important convention in its his
tory. The outstanding fact Of the
three days proceedings is the firm
stand taken on the war. British labor
cmphatically reassertcd that "thc
world must be completely and finally
rid Of aggressive militarism."
The paciiist element in the confer
cncc, although demonstrativc, was beat
en- declsively on every occasion its pro-
posals reached the voting stage For
three years the question Of the conduct
OF the war has been the principal pre-
occupation of this annual conference
and each time labor has decided to go
on. but it never before has spoken in
so emphatic and specific manner as
this year, nor with such unanmity.
For the American public one Of the
man points Of interest is the party's
uneQulvocal acceptance Of President
wilson as It's own prophet. Not sim
gle resolution or declaration was made
during the conference on the subject
of war or peace that omitted an in
dorsement of President Wilson's war
ann and attitude. No other Allied
statesman received a similar tribute.
Premier Lloyd George had many
carplng critics and President Poincare
was not mentioned, but not even speak
ers representing the disaffected frnxes
or the party spoke disparaging word
on the attitude Of the American Presi-
dent and people
During the course Of the convention
there were occasional outbursts OF rev

Big Battle in Progress

LONDON, Jan. 26.-Kishinev is re-

troops, according to Petrograd dis
patch to tho Exchange Telegraph Com
pany, and hot fighting is said to be in
progress between the BolShevik troops
and the Rumanians.
The Social Revolutionary members
of the recent Constituent Assembly,
who were arrested, have been released
according to d Petrogard dispatch to
Reuters, Limited. The same dispatch
states that the Congress Of Peasants
Assembly, has been dissolved and the
members of its presidential board ar,
rested.
The latest reports received here
from British correspondents in Petro
grad say that conditions there arc
steadily becoming worse. Opposition
to the Bolshevlk government is grow
ing, principally because of the recent
murder of two former members Of the
Kerensky Cabinet
The Bolsheviki arc bringing many
troops with guns from the front, ap.
parently for the protection Of the gov
ernment members. Crowds of persons
assemble at the street corners to listen
to sidewalk orators, many of whom
openly denounce the Bolsheyik regime

INTO the cars, to divest them of their

No family in Petrograd is allowed to
occupy more than four rooms, and re-
calcitrant house owners are elected
from their homes. A simple meal costs
from 80 to 80 rublcs.
Economic conditions arc in state
OF complete chaos. Postage stamps of
the czarstic regime are made to serve
for small change. Similar conditions
exist at kronstadt, where the banks
have been sacked and their officials
turned into the streets.
