Dutch Paper Objects to
Holding Up Arms Here

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 1S.-Comment-
ing on a statement made by the war
minister to the Netherlands, parlia-
ment concerning the alleged detention
in America Of 1000 machine guns and
100,000,000 cartridges which had been
bought and paid for by the Dutch gov.
ernment, the Hague Mieuwe Courant,
protests Indignantly against such treat
ment by a friendly nation. The news
paper declares that the holding up of
the arms and ammunition is profound
ly humiliating and amounts to cool
denial if Hollands good faith, and asks
whether it is in Americas interest to
deprive neutral state of the means
to defend it's neutrality.

America Can't Put Troops Over
Because of Political Situation
Here, Writes German Journalist

LONDON, Jan. 10. - Commenting
upon the statement made by Secretary
of War Baker before congressional
committee regarding war preparations,
the semi-official Norddeutsche ALI
gemeine Zeisung, of Berlin, says:
THE American Secretary of War
speaks OF an American army in
France. There is an American army
In France, but it consists entirely of
woodcutters, railway men and doctors,
except two OF three divisions whose
precious lives are being spared in
quiet places far behind the front
Mr.. Baker speaks as if shortly
there would be 100000 Americans in
France. Can the United States spare
such a large number of men? The
answer is, No. because large part
OF the army must remain behind for
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-01-19

the protection of the frontiers, the
COASTS, the colonies and for other du-
ties of a political nature.
THE political situation compels the
United States to keep at home the
greater portion of its army, and the
country can at the most put only
100000 or 10000 men into the Euro
pean battlefields-
For the transfer of even this num-
Der 100000 tons Of shipping will be
required, necessftating $50 Journeys
of steamers of 5000 to 5000 tons.
Thus an army of even this small size
cannot possibly be made available be-
fore the summer of 1918.
"In the decision on the western
front this spring American participa-
ton can effect no change The whole
speech Of the American Secretary. Of
War is gigantic American bluff"

five KILLED IN RIOT
(By Associated Press)


The Bolsheviki government met
strength when the long awaited open
ing of the constituent assembly took
place in Petrograd yesterday. Its can
didate for chairman was defeated 151
to 244 by the nomination of the Mod
crate Social Revolutionists, M. Tcher-
noff, minister of agriculture in the
kerensky cabinet.
This defeat was administered with
out the help of the constitutional
democrats, whose members did not at
tend the opening session. Much un-
certainty exists as to what effect the
convening of the new body will have
upon the foreign and domestic policy
of Russia
May Ignore 1t.
There have been limitations from
the Bolsheviki sides that the new body
would be ignored by the Bolsheviki
and an independent legislative body
set up if the assembly should definite
ly challenge the Bolsheviki power.
Some disorder preceded the opening
OF the assembly, five persons were kill
ed and dozen wounded in street

attempt to force the Italian right
flank on the Piave river line and push
away to Venice close to the Adriatic

wide front in this sector on Thursday

determinedily and arrested the enemy
efforts.
