TROTZKY SAYS PEACE
WITH HUN POSSIBLE
Bolshevik Minister Declares Russia
May Accept Terms.

Stockholm, Jan. 3O.-Although the
all-Russian soviet now sitting at Pet
rograd is overwhelmingly against a
separate peace with the central pow
ers as long as Germany stands by
her annexationist program. Leon
Trotzky, Bolshevik foreign minister.
told the congress frankly that he
could give no guaranty a separate
agreement would not be signed. He
made it clear, however. that the Rus
sian delegation will fight such a result
of the Brest-Litovsk parleys to the
uttermost of its ability. Should Rus
sia's miserable condition eventually
compel her to enter into a separate
pact with the central alliance. he said,
the people of Russia will be plainly
informed that the need of self-deter-
mination demanded 1t, and that the
peace was not democratic.
He thus intimated that IL Russia
cannot have n Just peace from her
foes she may have to yield for the
moment, but will fight on by other
means to secure her rights and safety.
The Russian delegation was given a
free hand by the all-Russian soviet
and g reported to have started for
Brest-Lftovsk, where the arrival OF
the German and Austrian foreign min
isters already has been announced.

ROOT URGES THRIFT
TO HELP WIN WAR
Former Secretary of State Deplores
Extravaganza In u. S.

New York. Jan. 9O.-If the Ameri-
can people do not learn to become less
extravagant and save. there Is dan
ger that the allies will lose the war.
This was the warning sounded by
Elihu Root at a great war thrift
meeting in Carnegie Hall tonight.
under the auspices Of the National
War Savings Committee OF New
York City. Mr.. Root said:
I'VE have not enough food, cloth
ing. or raw material to assure our
making good In this war uHless the
people practice thrift. There is but
one way in which we can accomplish
that, and that is by being more care
ful and saving in our consumption of
the things the armies need.
There Is no other way. We are
the most wasteful and extravagant
people upon the face of the earth,
and unless we can save out of our
superfuity and give the benefit of our
savings to our allies, then we shall
lose The war"
Mr.. Root urged the people to buy
war savings stamps with every dol
lar which could be spared.

rloes in Ohio River Reach High
Menace Mark,

Cincinnati. Jan. 3O-with property
loss estimated at $4,000, caused by
the breaking of the ice gorges in the
onio River in the Cincinnati harbor,
river men believe the shipping in
terests of the city have felt the
worst Of the blow and that what dam
age is caused by the flood waters now
here will be Of little consequence.
The break in the gorge here oc-
Cured at 10 o'clock this morning and
within an hour steamers had beer
sunk and boats carried away and the
river had risen seven feet. After that
the river continued to rise until to-
night 1t is within slightly more than
foot Of the danger line of fifty feet.
The crest Of the flood. according to
the weather bureau, will be reached
sometime tomorrow at slightly more
than fifty feet, unless the gorge now
holding below the city continues to
hold fast. in which event there will
be further loss Of property.
