Branded With Iron Cross

BOSTON, May 6.-Bearng the out
line of an Iron Cross which was
burned on his arm with an electric
needle by German officers in Africa,
John Mitchell, Zulu, formerly a fire
man on a British steamship, captured
by German raider, told immigration
officials here to-day a story Of torture.
He escaped from his tormentors after
the shells of General SHUTS army had
torn a hole in tho prison stockade
where he was lodged, giving him an op-
portunity to make a dash for freedom.
Mitchell said that when he was
branded his captors laughed at his suf-
fering and rubbed chemicals into the
wounds, giving them blush color.
Badly treated as he was. Mitchell as
serted that other prisoners Jared even
worse. All were starved, he said, and
many were beaten and fogged upon
the slightest provocation.
After his escape from the camp
Mitchell made his way to General
Smut's lines and shipped on British
steamer bound for this country.

State Department
Upholds Course of
Vladiuostok Consul

tSpcc,nI dispatch to The Trfbune)
WASHINGTON, May 6.-The State
Department has received the protest
of the Bolshevik Foreign Office, alleg-
ing that the American Consul at Vladi-
vostok, together with the consular off,
GERS of the Allied powers there, has
sought to interfere with Russia's in
ternal affairs. At the department. the
following statement was made:
Our consul at Vladivostok has done
nothing in any way that was not en-
tirely. proper. OF course, all the war
ring factions come to him, and it is his
duty to report He has not given any
encouragement to any of them"
Secretary Lansing has not vet re-
piled to the Bolshevik protest, but It
was believed that his answer would
coincide with the denial authorized to-
day. The specific charge Of the BoI-
sheviki is that the United States Con.
sui at Vladiyostok had encouraged a
counter revolution.
There was no indication at the State
Department Of early recognition Of the
Soviet Republic by the United States.
nor that the Allied governments and
America have agreed upon common
policy to he rnrsued toward Russia. II

Threatens to Kill
Russians If Any
Austriur7s Are Shot
{By The Associated Press)

MOSCOW, April 26.-Austrian mill
tary authorities have sent wireless
message to M. Tchitcherin. Bolshevik
Foreign Minister, hreatening to shoot
two Russians in retaliation for the
execution of any Austrian prisoner shot
when trying to escape, reports Of which
have reached Vienna. The Foreign
Minister denied the charge and de-
manded proofs, saying that Austrians
in Russia enjoy greater liberty than
Russians in Austria and that the shoot
ing of innocent. defenceless men has
not been heard Of.
M. Tchitcherin has sent a wireless
message to Berlin asking permission to
remove Russian property from the
fortress of Viborg, Finland Under
the terms of the est-Litovsk peace
treaty the supplies at Viborg were held
to be Russian property and Germany
assumed responsibility for them when
her troops seized the fortress
At the same time nj. Tchitcherin re-

Peace on Rumania at Jassy
Unless Germanys Terms Were Met at Once Says
Correspondent With Red Cross Mission

LONDON. May Count Czernin.
then Austro Hungarian Foreign Minis
ter, paid a secret visit to Jassy in Feb
ruary and delivered in person verbal
ultimatum of the most drastic sort
from the Central Powers to King Fer
dinand of Rumania, it has become
known with the arrival here of the
American Red Cross mission to Ku
mania
Count Czernin's visit was known of
only in the highest official circles, and
the fact that it was paid is revealed
now for the first time through a CORE
spondent of The Associated Press who
accompanied the mission. The reason
for the visit was that the Germans and
Austrians had determined to bring to
speedy conclusion the negotiations
with Rumania. and had decided that a
threat delivered in person by the head
of the Austro-H II ungarian Foreign Office
would be more effective than reams of
documents.
So Count Czernin was sent on the
errand. He arrived in Jassy about
February 25 and went straight to the
King. His manner was stern, unbend
ing, ruthless. He told the King bluntly
that Rumania must conclude peace on
Germany's terms, and do it immedi
ately. There must be no further de-
lays, and unless Rumania consented to
this programme the Central Powers
purposed issuing a ukase deposing the
Rumanian royal house and dividing the
entire country between Austria and
Bulgaria.
King Sees No Escape
The Rumanian King saw no way out,
and a week later the formal peace ne
gotiations were begun.
The last days before the departure
of the Allied missions from Rumania,
on March 8. were gloomy period in
Jassy. The peace pourpurlers had been
initiated in Bucharest on March % and
news of the signing of the preliminary
articles was expected momentarily.
The court and Cabinet had been in
state of detection from the late of
Count Czernin's sensational secret mis-
sion.
Queen Marie had fought bitterly
against any and all peace talk from
the beginning, and she had the support
of the Grown Prince and a consider
able body of the Rumanian public
The King and the Cabinet, however,
saw no possibility of escape. Three
days before the negotiations were
opened there was crown council. at
which the subject of peace was fully
discussed.
King Ferdinand spoke OF the inevita-
bility of peace and the hopelessness of
Rumania's position. Most of the Cab

Salvation Army
Raises $28,000 for
Work in France

The war work committee of the
Salvation Army obtained $4,000 yes
terday, the opening day of it's six-day
campaign to raise s250,o00 in greater
New York for work among the troops
in France.
This total was announced at meet
ing of the district team workers in
the Aldine Club last night. Speakers
at this meeting pointed out that the
Salvation Army men workers perform
their tasks in the very front limo
trenches, while Salvation lassics who
were humping tambourines en- New
York street corners only few months
ago are now working in dugouts under
shell fire, sometimes within three miles
of the front.
"Our American Salvation Army
women are nearer the front than any
ether women have ever been," declared
Colonel W. a. Mcintyre. "The Red
Cross nurses have not been so near;
even the British Salvation Army
women have never been allowed to stay
with the troops as ours have been"
He pointed out also that there are
adllerents in the fighting ranks in
France. Every one OF these, he de-
clared, is potential chaplain, helping
morale by an exemplary life. Saliva
tionists, he said, never drink, smoke or
swear.
The Salvation Army began its work
in Belgium week after the declara-
ton of war by Great Britain, he said,
and was the first organization of the
kind to arrive in the war zone with
huts and other comforts. He spoke of
the good influence of women workers
on the morale of the men.
Sergeant Sam Barre, who was in the
Verdun sector with Pershing, bore this
out
"The women go right into the dug
for the troops, from drying their un-
derwear and socks to attending to their
spiritual welfare. They started in the
training camps. and they went with the
troops almost to the firing line

Press for Recognition
I BIZ The Asaociatod Presal


MOSCOW, April 2S.--Bolshevik de-
niands that the American and French
consuls at Vladivostok be recalled have
brought no official statement from
American Ambassador Francis and
French Ambassador Noulens. The def
mite demands made by Foreign Minister
Tchitcherin were conincident with the
, arrival Of Count Won Mirbach, the Ger
man Ambassador, in Moscow.
Regardless of the strong pressure
put on the Entente embassies in the
last few weeks to recognize the Soviet
government, which is making full use
of the Siberian incident, the position
| of the embassies remains unchanged.
| The Bolshevik demands on Amhassa-
dor Francis we're: First, the removal
of John K. Caldwell, American Consul
at Vladivostok; second, investigation of
his part in the alleged negotiations
with the American Legation at Peking,
and, third, the attitude of the American
government toward the Soviet Republic.
Baseless, Says Francis
Ambassador Francis has sent a COM
munication to the Bolshevik govern
ment regarding the alleged participa-
tion of Americans, French and British
in a Siberian counter revolt plot in
connection with which the Bolsheviki
put plainly the question of the recog
milton of their government.
The American Embassy, the note says,
carefully scrutinized the documents sub
mitted by the Russian government. In
the American viewpoint, the documents
failed to show any connection of Ameri-
can officials in these plots.
The American Embassy. the ambassa-
dor continues, interprets the document IS
to show only that persons planning a
counter revolt CONTEMPLATED asking the
assistance of Consul Caldwell, Admiral
knight and the representatives of the
Allies in Peking, including the Ameri-
can Minister, but failed to show either
the consummation Of the shopes of the
revolutionaries in this direction or that
the Americans participated or promised
aid in any way. 1t is deemed un-
fortunate, in the present state of Rus
sian international relations, that such
filmsy charges should arise.
Denial by Japan
Official denial has been made by Jap
anese Consul Uyeda to the Russian For
eign Office to rumors that the Japanese
are placing machine guns in Vladi-
vostok and are arranging to increase
their forces there.
In connection with the nationaliza.

of Commerce has been ordered to dis.

Poincare Receives
American Labor
Mission Delegates
Paris Conference Also Dis
cusses Workers. Place in
Peace Conference
Organization Assailed
Proposed Legislation Would
Be in Force Only for
Duration Of War

PARIS. May 6. President Poincar6.
in receiving the members of the
American Labor Mission to- day, said
it was a great advantage that so many
branches of industry we're represented
by the mission. In speaking of the
war he said:
France is a peace loving nation,
believing in the triumph Of right over
might. 1t is not d question of Alsace.
Lorraine. but question of lnilitarism
against democracy"
Professor Arthur O. Lovejcy, of
Johns Hopkins University, replying n
French, said:
"America has learned great lesson
and is now wholeheartedly in the war.
The efforts of France shall not be in
vain. The American youth mustered
into the army will fight to retrieve the
losses. There can pc no peace until
the end of German militarsm."
Members OF the delegation had a
conference extending over an hour and
half this morning at the headquar-
ters of the labor Federation with Leon
Jouhaux, secretary OF the federation; !;
Albert Thomas, ex-Mnister of NUM-
tions, and other labor and Socialist
leaders. The meeting was private, but
it is understood from conversation with
the members that the role labor dele
gates will play in the eventual peace
conference and the question of an in
ternational labor conference we're dis
cussed.
James Wilson, one of the American
party, said that after hearing the views
of the French leaders he had been i'm
pressed by the unity of the ideas
among Socialists in the different AL
lied countries on the subjects under
discussion. He said he would report
the views expressed to the American
unions on his return to the United
States. Socialist party leaders are said
by the Socialist press to be dissatis-
fled with the attitude Of the American
labor delegates, but the press generally
is most favorable in its comment on
the declarations made by James Wilson
and George L. Berry. members of the
American delegation, that the Germans
must abandon autocratic rule before
the Americans would talk to them.
The American delegation was re-
ceiyed at the embassy this afternoon
by Ambassador William Graves Sharp
after they had lunched with the work
ers at the canteen of one Of the i'm
mense munitions plants and had been
received by President Poincare
