WHO'LL ADOPT
UHRO-RUSINIA?
Little State in Southern
Carpathians, Freed,
Wants Partner.

Uhro- Rusinia isn't the name OF a
new breakfast food or patent
medicine.
It's one Of the new nations
formed in Europe which is about &c
profit by President wilson's note to
Austria and shake of the chains
which have bound it TO Hungary for
years.
''Uhro" means "of Hungary" and
"Rusinia" means "RUthenia." so the
Uhro-Rusins are simply Ruthenians
who inhabit Hungary.
They live in the Hungarian prov
inces along the southern slopes OF
the Carpathian mountains. Racially
they are closely akin to the Ruthen-
ians Of Galicia and the Little Rus
slams of the Ukraine.

TRUCKS BREAK SEWER
PIPE In gANACOSTIA
Damage Threatens Serious Trouble
for a Time.

A threatened break in the sewerage
system of Washington yesterday
menaced the southeastern section OF
the city. A break occurred in The pipe
line near Poplar Point, and for sew
eral hours the situation looked bad.
Permission had been granted the
Navy Department several days ago to
drive lightly weighted trucks over the
pipe line at the Howard road in Ana :
costa, that daily carries away SO,00O,-
900 gallons of the waste Of the city.
Advantage was taken of this per-
mission by truck drivers who drove
heavily weighted tracks across the
pipe line. This caused the discharge
pipe to cave in at several places. In
vestigations are being made with the
view of strengthening the supports OF
the pipe line.

Negotiations When Foe Re-

FEAR ALLY INFLUENCE
Temporarily Suspended are Words
Used In Announcement-Tr
Insists Farley Must Go
To Stockholm.

Amsterdam, Jan. S.--Indepen-
dent Socialists in Germany have
sent a message to Bolsheviki For
eign Minister Trotsky advising
him not to accept the German
terms and to avoid a separate
peace, according to a report re-
ceived here.
Stockholm, Jan. S.-The Germans
have temporarily suspended" peace
negotiations between the Central pow
ers and the Bolsheviki government in
Russia.
From the meager advices received,
it appears the rock upon which a con-
tinuation of the pourparlers split was
the demand of the Russians that the
conference be resumed at Stockholm,
instead of at Brest-Litovsk.
Trotzky Is Insistent.
Dissatisfied with the proposals for
peace made by the Teutonic allies be-
fore the recess of the Brest-Litovsk
conference, Leon Trotzky, the Bolshe-
Wiki foreign minister, had been insist
ent on the deliberations being held on
neutral soil instead of at the German
eastern headquarters. The Germans.
however, had been equally as firm in
their determination not to treat with
the Russians at any other place than
Brest-Litovsk
The decision of the Germans to dis
continue the sittings was arrived at
during a crown council held in Berlin
which was attended by Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and General Won Lu,
dendorf, first quartermaster general.
Fear Allies Influence.
A belated dispatch from Berlin gives
As the reason for the refusal of the
Germans to consider Stockholm as a
place where peace might be advan-
tageously discussed the fear that Brit.
ish, French and American diplomats
in the Swedish capital would by in,
trigue render all endeavors futile.
Dispatches from Berlin indicate that
although the Reichstag parties in the
main are supporting the government
considerable unrest is prevalent and
strong efforts are being made to hold
the Socialists in line. The Socialist
organ in Berlin characterized the situa,
tion as extraordinarily serious.
Ukranians in Armistice.
An armistice has been declared in
the Ukraine region, the Rada, Ukrain
ian's legislative body, and the Bolshe
wiki having agreed to compromise oi
their differences. The Rada is said tc
be ready to decline to give support tc
General Kaledines and his Cossacks
in return for the withdrawal of Bol
heviki troops from the Ukraine.
