 MILITARY POST
(AsSociated Press,

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 6.-The Fin. nish government troops under the leadership of General Mannerheim have successfully assaulted Olea- burg, according to official advices re- ceived here. The town is now in complete control of the government forces, ~and the Red Guards are in full flight. Several hundred of the Reds were killed and as many more made prisoners. They will be tried for treason.
 Oleaburg is in the northern part of Finland and is the chief military depot in that section. The govern ment gained possession of enormous amounts of stores and munitions by it's capture. The Reds made a great stand, but were outgeneraled and out. fought by the government forces. The fight extended over two days. In other sections of the interior of Finland the government forces are defeating the rebels, and General Mannerheim will shortly consolidate these forces and lead them against Helsingfors, which is the only city of importance under the control of the revolutionary faction.

 WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. G. Stringent orders were issued today by Food Controller Herbert c. Hoover forbidding any speculation in green coffee on the New York coffee ex- change. The action of the food ad- ministrator was taken after consul tation with members of the coffee exchange, who assured him that 1t was necessary for the safety of the markets balance to stop further spec ulation, which was already unsettling the prices.

 LONDON. Feb. 6.-In speech here this afternoon King George dis cussed the Irish problem and the chance for its early settlement This. he said. was one of the biggest things confronting the government at home. He expressed the hope that a satisfactory solution will shortly be arrived at. The chances for this. he declared. would be better if the Sim Feiners and other Irish agita- tors would cease their interference with the labors of patriotic Irish who are seeking to find a way out of the difficulty.
 He stated that the Irish question was, however. not paramount. The big business of Great Britain Is win ming the war. This, he said, is England's first aim and endeavor All other matters are secondary to this, for only by victory can the ex- istence of the nation as a liberal democracy be preserved
 He expressed the hope that the Irish question could be satisfactorily settled before the end of the war, but if 1t was not. one of the first things to be done on the conclusion of peace would be to dispose of 1t forever.

DELEGATES NOW RETURNINCFOR
 THIRD SESSION
Associated Press)

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 6.-The Ger man foreign minister, Keuhlmann, and Count Czernin, the Austrian for eign minister, are reported to have departed this morning from Berlin and Vienna respectively for Brest Litovsk for the purpose of reopen ing the peace negotiations with the Bolsheviki delegates. One of the most puzzling questions of the week is, For what purpose did the Teu- ton delegates return to their capitals |?
 There has been nothing whatever made public regarding this. It was at first believed that the negotiations had been abruptly broken off. but their return seems to point contrary to this belief. No reason for this move can be assigned as yet. but it is believed that the results will show in the demands to be made upon the Russians as soon as the negotiations reopen.
 From the tone of German publica. tions recently 1t is now problemati- cal what course will be taken by the German government. The pan German press is demanding that an ultimatum be presented to the Bol- sheviki government for some imme- diate action on the German terms already made known, failing which the Germans are urged to terminate the arnistice and advance against the Russian capital. This is the plan said to be favored most by won Hindenburg and his staff.
 RUPTURE MADE
 PETROGRAD, Feb. 6.-The Brest Litovsk correspondent of the Ex- change Telegraph wires today that the peace negotiations between the Bolsheviki delegates and the central alliance has been abruptly terminal ed on account of the insistence of the Germans for vast territorial con. sessions by the Russians. Up to a late hour this afternoon the report had not been confirmed by the dele gates themselves, Minister Trotzky. of the Bolsheviki government, stat ing that he had heard nothing from the delegation which would indicate that the peace negotiations had been

MORE DISORDER IN CAR STRIKE:
 STRIKERS SHOT
Associated Press)


 ST. LOUIS. Mo, Feb. 6.-The dis. orders caused by the street car strikes in this city broke cut today with renewed violence. In a battle between the striking workmen and special officers this afternoon two of the rioters were killed before the crowd dispersed.
 With the strike in its third day, there are no signs of improvement in transit conditions. Only a few cars are running. and these are forced to operate under a heavy guard. Crowds of strikers are be- sieging the car barns day and night. and many strikebreakers have been run out of the city by the rioters.
 The company officials obstinately refuse to confer with the striking employees. and declare that they can only return to work by accept ing the company's terms, which means under the conditions which caused the strike. The officials ab- solutely refuse to recognize the wo- mems union and declare that the demands of the strikers are unrea. sonable and were instigated by out side influences.
 The demoralized traffic conditions are seriously affecting the industrial life of the city. Much delay is be- ing caused. and unless there is a break shortly. the city will be forced to take radical steps to end the sit. uation. which is rapidly becoming in- tolerable.
