CLASHES WITH KAISER
SWEDEN PROTESTS AGAINST oc-
cUPATIoN OF FINLAND.
Berlin Explains Action by Saying
That Military Operations Neces-
sary to Restore Order.

Washington, March 6.-Germany's
occupation of the Aland islands is
only preliminary to the total oceu-
patton of Finland.
Official dispatches to the Swedish le-
cation on Monday say Germany has
announced to the Stockholm foreign
office her intention 70 occupy Finland,
and that Sweden has protested.
Germany advised Sweden, the dis
patch relates. that 1t was necessary
to occupy Finland temporarily TO re-
store order, but gave assurances that
she bad no intention to take perma-
nent possession Of the territory.
Sweden protested also against the
Aland islands being placed in the war
zone.
The occupation of the Aland ISLANDS,
the messages say, IS to make them a
base for supplying the German occu-
patton Of Finland.
There are 500 Swedish troops on the
island for police purposes. Their com
mander was notified by the German
commander of his intentions, and,
while so far there has been no clash
reported. the Swedish troops have not
been withdrawn, and the feeling is de-
scribed here as being very tense.
The Russians have begun destroying
bridges on the Trans-Slberian railroad
between Lake Baikal and the Chinese
frontier. John F. Stevens, chairman Of
the American railway mission, report
ed to the state department.

10 give respite to the socialist revolu-
ton so as to enable it to reassemble its
forces for the supreme struggle against
Imperialism and TO assist the prole-
tariat of other European countries TO
revolt against its oppressors.
The Pravda comments in a similar
vein.
The bOlshevik leaders are prepared
to withdraw even as far as to the Ural
mountains rather than submit to the
defeat of the revolution, said Leon
rrotzky, boshevik foreign minister,
IN an interview with a correspondent.
NJ. Trotzky said that If the bOlshe-
Wiki could go back to the state Of af-
fairs which existed last October just
before they overthrow the Kerensky
government they would repeat the
whole program which has been put
through since that time.

PEACE TERMS FORCED

TIONS NAMED BY KAISER.
Berlin Announces Signing Of Treaty
With RussIans-Says Invasion
Is Stopped.

Berlin, March 5.-"By reason of the
signing of the peace treaty with Rus
sia," says the official communication
from headquarters, military move
ments in Great Russia have ceased"
Petrograd, March 5.-In the fear
that argument would result in even
more onerous terms, the Russian dele
Cation at Brest-Litoysk has accepted
all the German peace conditions and is
about to sign an agreement, according
TO a telegram from the delegates re-
ceived at the Smolny institute, the boil
sheviki headquarters. The demands
already have been Increased, they re-
ported.
The message which was addressed
tc Premier Lenine ana Foreign Minis
ter TrOtzky. follows:
"As we expected. deliberations on a
treaty of peace are absolutely useless
and could only make things worse in
comparison with the ultimatum of
February 21. They might even assume
the character of leading to the pre-
sentation Of ar Their ultimatum.
I'm view of this fact and in conse-
quence of the Germans refusal to
cease military action until peace is
signed, we have resolved to sign the
treaty without discussing its contents
and leave after we have attached our
signatures. We, therefore, have re-
quested train, expecting TO sign to-
day, and leave afterward
THE most serious feature of the
new demands compared with those OF
February p is tbe following
ITO detach the regions Of Karaband
Kars and Bqtoum from Russian ter
ritory on the pretext of the right of
peoples to self-determination."

U-B0ATS SUNK

Sir Eric GeddeS Of England Gives
Credit to American
Navy.
MORE SHIPS BEING MADE
Declares the Loss to the Worlds
Tonnage In February Was Half
That Of the Same Month
Last Year.

London, March z. For some
months" Sir Eric Geddes. first lord OF
the admiralty, said on Tuesday, I'VE
believe that we and the Americans
nave been sinking submarines as fast
as they are built"
The trend Of the figures of loss of
shipping by enemy action was stead
lily improving, Sir Eric stated. The
loss to the worlds tonnage during
February was little more than half
the loss during February of last year,
he said.
Submarines were being destroyed in
increasing numbers. he continued, and
as the methods employed against them
We're developed the numbers would be-
enlarged still further There was a
growing reluctance on the part of Ger
man crews to put to sea. The chances
that submarine would return from
voyage in the waters around Eng
land were one in four or one In five.
In the waters around the British
isles, which had been the enemy's
chief field for submarine operations.
the greatest successes against the u
boats had been obtained SO far.
On the other hand, conditions in the
Mediterranean had been more dlficus.
Losses there accounted for some 80
per cent Of merchant ships sunk. The
resources for combating the subma-
rlnes In those waters were less aCe-
quate and the successes obtained less
satisfactory.
our allies are making every effort
TO Increase their production of ships. -
Sir Eric said, "but, despite glowing
reports in the American press and
great as the effort of that country
doubtless Is, there is no doubt con-
siderable time must elapse before the
desired output is obtained"

cred ia the house Of commons. said

Sir Eric said the rate Of exaggera-
ton In the German reports of tonnage
alleged 10 have been sunk was increas-
ing steadily
The first lord said he was seriously
concerned at the Increasing number Of
vessels lost ut eight. 1t appeared the
enemy were assisted In this matter by
negligence on the part Of shipowners
who displayed lights instead Of dark
enlng their vessels.
On behalf Of himself and his col
leagues he wished publicly to pay
tribute 10 the whole-hearted and GEN
erous devotion to prosecution Of the
war which governed the action Of ev-
cry representative Of the United States
navy with which they came into con-
tact. The personnel Of all ranks. he
said, had the respect and esteem of
the officers Of the British navy.
Concerning shipbuilding. he said
there was no lack Of materials at the
present time and that there were more
men IN the yards, but the output
reached only 5000 tons in January.

ENGLISH HEDGES MUST GO
to American Style of Land
scape Gardening.

One of the pretty features of the
English landscape will undergo dras-
tic changes as result of the great
agricultural program this year. Hedge
rows in many places will have to go
down and thousands of trees which
have wide-spreading roots must be re-
moved to allow blowing. 1t is be-
lieved by many that the result after
the war will be the adoption of the
American style of landscape, with
lawns minus fences and hedges sur
rounding homes.
When Sir Herbert Tree returned to
England from America shortly before
his death he extolled the American
System, but the English did not take
kindly to his idea, as the English
people believed their privacy would be
infringeJ and they feared the beautiful
lawns would he ruined by trespassers.
