LONDON, Jan. 4-The London Chronicle makes the statement that the allies may shortly recognize the Lenine government of Russia owing to certain developments resulting from the peace negotiations at Brest Lito- vsk.

HOLLAND MUST
GIVE UP SHIPS
TO ENTENTE
England and U. S. Will Wait
Until Midnight for
Answer.

Holland will be given all OF today
to accept the proposals made by
the United States and England or
else have six hundred thousand
tons of her shipping reQuisitioned
by the allies. Up to a late hour
last night no confirmation had
been received in Washington of the
story that Holland had already
agreed to the allied terms.
Acceptance of the terms. It was
explained in Dutch quarters here.
can be carried out by the Council
of Ministers. without reference to
the States General. Action by the
council might have been taken yes
terday. The Dutch Legation, the
War Trade Board. the State Depart
ment and the British Embassy.
however, were all without advice
that the council had met or acted.
Everything is in readiness. it is
learned, to take over the ships to-
night, probably at midnight. Many
of them can proceed to sea within
twenty-four hours as crews are
available and bunkers and cargoes
ready.
The United States and England
insist that no protest or alternative
proposal from Holland at this time
will be received. Either Holland
will voluntarily agree to the terms
or the terms will be carried out
without her agreement. All the
food and supplies which Holland
would get were she to agree to the
arrangement will be available for
her even II the allies have to seize
the ships In view of this it is
generally expected here that Hol-
land will protest and that the allies
will enforce their action.
If Germany still endeavors to
coerce Holland, by refusing safe
conduct for her food ships. Ger
many's will be the responsibility
for starving her little 'neighbor.

PRIEST ARRESTED
WHILE In CHURCH
Refuses to Resign and Parishioners
Invoke Law.

Elgin, ILL.,. March 17.-Facing a
fusiliade of bullets. a posse of EIgin
peace officers today battered down
the doors OF, st. Mary's R. c. Church
and arrested the pastor, Father ].
]. NcCann. When officers burst in
the bishop was saying mass. Father
McCann had been suspended from
the parish at the order of Bishop
Muldoon.
Last week members of the parish
served notice on the pastor that his
services would not be any longer
needed by them. 1t is not the. Gus
tom. of the Catholic churches to
choose their own pastors and Father
Mccain refused to retire.
A writ was then sued out for his
removal and the riot today occurred
when officers appeared at the
church to serve it. Eight shots
were fired before the priest was
taken into custody, Later he fur
nished bail for his appearance in
court.

Left February -.
The steamship left a British port
February %. according to mem
bers of the crew. and was attacked
in the Bristol Channel by a sub
marine the following day. As soon
as the undersea craft was sighted
the tanker tried to make a getaway,
fearing a torpedo would be launch
ed. The U-boat apparently decided
to rely on gunfire.
A shell from the submarine was
sent across the bow of the tanker
and she abandoned her flight to
return the fire. For more than an
hour the armed guard aboard the
steamship exchanged shell for shell
with the U-boat.
Square Hit sinks sub.
Finally one of the gunners aboard
the tanker made a square hit amid
ship Of the U-boat which sent her
immediately beneath the surface.

SENATORS MAY
SETTLE S-HOUR
FIGHT TODAY
VIII Probably Revise Ber-
land Amendment or Re-
ject 1t Entirely.

Whether clerks in the Agricul-
tural Department here will have to
observe a minimum eight hour
working day during the new fiscal
year beginning July 1. may be fl
nally decided in the Senate today.
It is certain that the upper body
will resume discussion OF the ,Bor-
land amendment today and there
is a fair chance that they will come
to the crucial vote to be taken at
the request of Senator Sheppard, as
soon as they resolve themselves
back into the Senate as a body.
Senators Sheppard. williams and
Jones will all use their efforts to
either strike out the eight:ho
amendment entirely or at least to
amend it SO as to make it further
provide for wage and a half for
overtime and an average" eight
hour day, which would be a cousid-
erably more lenient one than the
one inspired by Representative Bor-
land.
Whatever the vote on the Bor-
land amendment as attached to the
agricultural appropriation bill 1t
will eXhaustively disclose argu-
ments both pro and con on this
question and cause the Senators to
dispose of the Borland amendment
attached to the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill.
which affects all clerks, with speed
and dispatch.
This bill is now before them and
is expected to be taken up soon
after they dispose of the agricul-
tural appropriation bill.
Whatever disposition is made of
the Borland amendment as II re-
lates to the agricultural appropria-
tion bill will also be taken toward
this amendment as attached to the
Legislative. executive and judicial
appropriation bill as the Senator's
are loath to discriminate against
any clerks.
This makes It evident that the
real fight is on now while the Sem
ators are discussing it as a rider
to the agricultural appropriation
bill and realizant of this every
pressure is being brought upon
them by friends of the clerks.

last. are among the fifteen prisoners

Due to the lapse OF time between
the time the men escaped and the dis
covery Of the Jail breaking. Jail guards
and the police were unable TO pick up
their trail after they left the building
They made their getaway from the
south wing, but apparently no one IN
the neighborhood had seen them or
was able 10 tell in which direction they
had gone.
Descriptions Of the men were teIe-
phoned TO New York. PhIladelphiA,
Baltimore, Richmond and other East
ern cities by Inspector Grant, Of the
city detective force. A close watch
is being kept on the homes Of the
men by the police. Each one Of the
escaped prisoners wore the clothes IN
which he was arrested and for that
reason there is nothing in their ap-
pearances that would cause suspicion.

which rained down on the deck Of the
ship.
Carl TickmSnn- chief gUnners mate,
told this story OF the encounter:
The submarine sighted Us FIRST Gnd
on one unsuccessful attempt TO bUTl
us with a torpedo, decided that the
sea was too rough for this method
and opened fire with her guns. Our
gunners were ready to return the com
pliment. The heavy sea which was
rolling made II almost impossible TO
get accurate aim.
''Shrapnel rained down on our
deck and IL looked bad. for Fritz
seemed TO have the range perfectly.
Finally We swung around after zig
tagging our way 50 that the sun
was no longer in the eyes OF our
gunners and they gave Fritz his.
The fight started late in the after
noon. according to Eckmsun. The
ship was just steaming out OF ths
Bristol Channel into the Irish sea
For every shot they fired. we
gave them three in return" de-
clared one of the gunners.
Another submarine was sighted
on March (. This craft was run
ming with its periscope out OF water
when first seen by the officer on
the bridge. The gun crew fired
four shots in rapid succession and
the U-boGt took TO cover.
