SPEECH OF KING GEORGE
AT OPENING OF PARLIAMENT

Until recognition Of our statement
is offered on the only principle upon
which an honorable peace can be con-
cluded, it is our duty, to prosecute the
war with all the vigor we possess.
II have full confidence that my
forces in the field in close cooperation
with those Of my faithful allies, will
continue to display the same heroic
courage as my people at home-the
same unselfish devotion that already
has frustrated so many of the enemys
designs and will insure the ultimate
triumph Of our righteous cause
said, with regard to Britain's war
aims.
THE German government how
ever, ignored our just demands for
restitution for wrongs committed and
guarantees against their unprovoked
repetition.
Its spokesmen refused any oblf-
cations for themselves, while deny
ing rightful liberties to others"
The king concluded by saying:
81 pray that the Almighty may be-
stow his blessing on your labors."

The Bolshevih movement is
rampant and growing in Aus

Gently returned from Russia,
where he was held prisoner.
CRecent United Press dispatches
from Petrograd stated the Bolsheviki
had decided to appoint Bauer their
ambassador at Vlenna.)
The movement is spreading
rapidly among the Czechs, Ju-
go-Slavs and kindred races
who are demanding an imme-
diate peace and liberty.
The recent strikes probably
had nothing in common-the
movement was spontaneous.
The socialists opposed the
strikes, admitting they sur
prised even them, who are still
obediently a part of the govern
ment bloc.
The socialists ass u m e d

consulted by the strikers.
The fact is, Austria Hun

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 12.--Hun-
dreds of families were forced to flee
from their homes here today when a
rise in the swollen Ohio river flood
ed homes in the river district. The
river at SIS a. NJ, was only eight
inches below the high stage.
1t is still rising and will continue
to do so, SO long as the big ice gorges
here hold, weather officials say.
Car service to many points has been
crippled.
Relief stations which closed when
the flood subsidized last week, have
been reopened. Schools in the flood
zone are being used for shelter for
families driven from their homes.
All railroad traffic in Cincinnati
will be crippled if the river reaches
sixty-five feet. Railroad crews work
ed all night removing freight cars
from the flood levels.
The lower portions of Covington and
Newport and other Kentucky commun-
tiles are under water.
Soup kitchens are being established
in Newport.

ZURICH, Switzerland, Feb.
12.-Austrian workers, before
taking up the tools following
the recent strikes, did these
three significant things:
Laid down conditions
forcing Foreign Minister
Czernin to adhere to the
Wilsonian program.
Sent a delegation to
Emperor Karl, who stated:
peace is my only aim
day and night.
Formed a permanent
committee to maintain a
watch on the government
and force it to keep it's
promises.
The same causes which un-
chained the strike, continue.
Another and graver social dis
turbance is possible any day.
The Aust1ians want peace and
are opposed to dying for pan
German dreams of conquest.
I know for fact that an
Austrian official now in Switz-
erland declared Austria is
ready to accept President vii
sons peace terms.
The Austrian rulers are
afraid of the future, especially
if the war continues. They
have already had to back down
to avoid trouble.

party plans a separate Hun

party refuses to join the gov
ernment party, because it

oMMENT ON PRESIDENT
WILSON'S WAR AIMS SPEECH

sponse January message, was found
ed on reports of American workers
abroad that Austria Is ripe for peace.
AS for Germany, the speech is des-
tined to cause a new dissatisfaction
among the liberals of the Scheide-
mann and more radical types. Con-
dnuance of the war is credited solely
to the military party in Germany and
this fact, plus Wilson's disclaimer or
any territory wanted by the United
States, is likely to bore into the Ger
man mind
Wilson distinctly left the peace
door wider open than ever, author
tiles say, for he pointed out that his
January address contained the
fundamental, but not Interchangeable
peace terms of the United States.
At the same time he sounded
firmer note of confident determine
ton to carry on the war to victory II
the essentials of a just peace were
not otherwise obtained. He pointed

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 12.-Dawn o.
Lincoln's birthday found the natfona
committee of Lincoln's party face te
face with bitter struggle.
After two days Of earnest endeavol
to unite on a candidate for chairman
acceptable to all elements of the
party, it seemed almost certain today
that the supporters Of John T. Adams
of Iowa, and the faction opposed to
him, must carry their battles to the
committee flour.
In the small hours Of the morning
it was announced at Adams head
quarters that he positively will be a
candidate when the committee meets
this afternoon. There were pred1c
tions, however, that he would with,
draw at the last moment, because OF
an attack upon his American1sm.
Opposing the Iowan will be Will
H. Hays of Indiana, unless there Is
sudden shift in the plans OF the anti
Adams contingent.
A letter written by Adams during
a tour of Germany three months
after the outbreak of the European
war was read before the party's
executive committee late yesterday
by Senator Calder of New. York. 1t
indicated, anti-Adams members of
committee asserted, that Adams en-
tertained at that time friendly SEN
timent toward Germany.
The letter threw the national COM
mittee into confusion. The restraint
that had marked the deliberations of
the committeeman was swept away
in a moment The last hope OF har-
mony was dispelled.
Adams and his hackers withdrew
at once to their headquarters and
did not attend the joint conference
of the national and advisory commit
tee that followed the executive COM
mittee meeting. AS a result the con-
ference developed distinct Hays
atmosphere.
After being c1oseteG with his ad-
visers several hours, Adams voiced
defiance to his opponents in state
ment defending his Americanism. 1t
charged George w. Perkins with re-
sponsibility for bringing out the let
ter and declared Adams had personal
knowledge that the "circulation Of
the attack had been planned three
weeks ago.
CAS- the descendant Of nine genera
tions of New England stock, and
without a drop of German blood in
my veins" the statement read, Il
have not and could not have the
slightest sympathy for any nation as
against the United States or any ma
tion with which the interests or well
fare of the United States are allied"
With these developments 1t became
known that repeated attempts had
been made by various leaders to per-
suade Adams to withdraw. 1t was
not the itnention Of the anti-Adams
element to use the letter except as
a last resort Convinced, they said.
that Adams would be unable to unite
the party, the letter was brought out
Use of the letter these men pointed
out, was justified by the fact that in
the event of Adams election it might
logically have become potent
weapon in the hands of the demo-
Gratis.
Adams friends are exceedingly bit

TROTsKY SIGNS ORDERS

United Press Leased Wire Service !
LONDON, Feb. 12.-Oficial confirm
alton of Russia's withdrawal from the
war, was received here today through
a Wireless Press bureaus dispatch from
Petrograd.
''The Russian delegates have declar-
| ed the Brest-Litovsk peace negotia-
tions ended" declared the dispatch.
Decentralization Of the Russian
armies has been ordered.
"Some first line detachments OF
younger soldiers have been left to de-
fend the frontiers"
| The fficial proclamation declares
the Russians will not continue the war
against the German and Austrian
workers and will not sign an annex
ationist treaty.
LET the German and Austrian sol
d1ers know who is placing them in the
field and for what they are fighting;
also that we refused to fight them"
declared the proclamation, which was
signed by Foreign Minister Trotsky.
The demobilization proclamation or
ders immediate withdrawal from the
trenches and concentration Of troops
in the rear for transportation to the in
terror.
1t begs the soldiers to await the re-
turn homeward calmly and appeals to
them to bring with them stores and ar
tillery which cost millions.
Comrades, peace negotiations are
ended the proclamation stated Ger
man capitalists, bankers and landlords
supported by the silent cooperation Of
the English and French middle classes
submitted conditions such as could
not be subscribed to by the Russian
revolution.
"The governments of Germany and
Austria desire to possess countries and
peoples vanquished by arms.
1--WE could not sign peace bringing
sadness and oppression and suffering
to millions Of workers-but We cannot
and will not continue a war begun by
the cars capitalists"
1.-THE charge of the Bolshevik gov
ernment that the middle classes of
the allies silently cooperated in the
peace conditions offered Russia by
Germany was originated by Leon Trot
sky in his interview with the United
Press published recently.
Trotsky stated that the allies we're
willing to see Germany secure recon-
pense for the war at the expense of
Russia, so that the allies could obtain
a free hand for themselves in the
west. This attitude on the pa1t of
the Bolsheviki apparently is now re-
peated as an attempt at moral iustifi-
cation to themselves, for refusing fur
ther cooperation with the allies in
the war.1

A few more Teuton divisions will
