JUST THE OLD HUN TRICK
London Press Asserts Austria's Peace
Conference Is Cynical and
lnsincere.

London.-The Daily Mail, under the
heading 1.-The Word of Austria. but
the Kaiser's Voice." says the Austrian
invitation to the allies to open "a con-
fidential, nonbinding discussion" of
peace terms is another form of the old
German trick.
The Daily Telegraph says: ."Nego-
tiations at the present moment even
though they brought temporary peace
would only postpone the final struggle
between might and right. So long as
the kaiser and his pan-Germans direct
with irresistible authority the destinies
OF Germany so long can there be no
question of an armistice or purely
academic negotiations. The note is dis
attempt to divert the entente powers
from a resolute prosecution of the
war;"
The Austrian note is regarded in
this country as a maneuver to obtain
needed breathing space for the sorely
tried central empires and to impress
their own people with the desires of
their rulers for a cessation of the
struggle which is wearing them to a
shadow.
Undoubtedly it is q part of a COM
bined peace offensive which has been
expected for some time, and which has
taken definite form within the last
few days. 1t is one of three moves
which have been made almost stimuli
taneously by enemy states.

Is Broken bv
Death Threat
Dittmann, Socialist Leader,
Imprisoned in Fortress
for Five Years

LONDON, Feb. 4.-From all indica.
ticns the general strike that prevailed
in Germany last week has virtually
ended. Accounts of the situation are
very meagre, only semi official state.
roents reaching the outside world to.
day. From these it is evident that the
threat Of the military authorities K
institute court martial proceeding
against the strikers had the effect OF
crushing the whole movement, even the
strike leaders advising that work be
resumed to-day.
According to a semi official state
ment from Berlin, Wilhelm Dittmann
the Radical Socialist Deputy. was SEN
fenced to-day to five years confinement
in fortress for participating in the
direction Of the strike. Two months
were added to his sentence for resist
ing public authority. Mitigating cir
cumstances and the absence of dishon-
orable intentions were admitted, the
dispatch adds.
The only industrial disturbance in
Germany the outcome Of which seems
to be in doubt is new strike move
rlent begun on Saturday at Jena, cap
ital of the Duchy OF Sake Weimar,
where third of the workers walked
out. according to the "Berliner Tage-
clatt" of Saturday evening. German
newspapers report no disturbances in
Berlin on Saturday.
The directors of the Krupp works re-
port, the COLOGNE Gazette" says, that
only 400 out of 10000 workmen went
or strike and that these were fined or
dismissed.
The Berlin "Vowaarts" says that the
tuilding in which the court martial is
sitting is closed to the public and
guarded by troops. Heinrich Schultze,
the first prisoner to be tried. was SEN
fenced to imprisonment for six months
for having distributed leaflets urging
workers to strike.
The president Of the Reichstag has
refused to comply with the demand OF
the Socialist party that the Reichstag
be convoked in special session. accord
ing to the Berlin "Tagcblatt," a copy
of which has been received at Amster-
dam. The other parties, he announced,
had opposed the demand.

Hundreds of Trains Bound
to Tidewater Frozen Up
on Sidings
GOING DOWN.

A sudden drop in the tempera-
ture which sent the mercury below
zero, nullified yesterday practi-
cally all the good results expected
from the third "workless Men
day." Only 10000 tons of coal
were received in this city, and
from Albany to Elkhart, Ind,
miles upon miles Of laden freight
and coal cars which the railroads
had marshalled for their "big
push were stalled by the cold
and snow.
For days to come, even if the
temperature moderates, the effects
cf the cold snap will be felt in
the arrival of freight in New
York. for the railroads had
stretched their resources to the
breaking point in an effort to start
the huge accumulations of freight
to the seaboard and the lines of
"empties' inland. The devastat-
ing effect of the tie-up was, there
fore, widespread, and scarcely q
coarload of any commodity cs-
capped.
Barge deliveries, on which New
York is dependen. fer it's coal sup
ply, also will be hampered by the
cold weather and the resultant ice.
The question of further con-
tlnuance of the heatless Monday
programme is to be decided to-
day by Director General of Rail-
roads McAdoo. If he consents,
by embargoes, to insure move
ment Of coal, DR.. Garfield will
withdraw the heatIess Monday
order, but indications are that he
will not consent.
