GERMANS ARENOW
TURNING THEIR
ATTEN TION TO
OF her PARTIES

London, Jan. 5.-Pending the re-
sumption of conferences at Brest-
Litovsk today no fresh developments
are reported from Russia regarding
the peace negotiations. Special dis
patches from Petrograd report at
tempts by the German delegates at
Petrograd to make some sort Of a
clandestine agreement with the mem
bers Of the constituent assembly.
The correspondent of The Daily
News says that the Germans are
trying through a neutral diplomat to
get into communication with mem
bers of the assembly. Their object
is obvious, he adds, as the parties
opposed to the Bolsheviki are quite
ready to profit by the Bolshevik re-
fusal to make peace and to tell the
people that the Bolshevili promised
them peace but gave them war.
The version Of the correspondent
Of The Daily Mail is that the Ger
mans have been putting pressure,
direct or indirect, upon the govern
ment in connection with the sum-
moning Of constituent assembly as
the Germans have been making 1t
pretty obvious that they are unwill-
ing to recognize the Bolsheviki as
representatives Of a majority OF the
Russian people or even as temporary
trustees of the sovereign power.
The Daily News dispatches express
fear that Germany will find the con-
stituent assembly more amenable
than the Bolsheviki in regard to
making peace and quotes Foreign
Trotzky as saying that the
bourgeois are prepared to give away
half the country, IL they can obtain
control of the government OF the
other half. s Ell
Regarding the attitude Of the Uk-
raine towards the Germans, The
Daily News says that the rada is
willing to strike a bargain with the
Germans The Petrograd corresA
oondent OF The Times, who is now in
London, writes that the UkrainianA
are determined to send mission to
Brest -Litovsk, not to negotiate
separate peace but to ascertain Ger
intention toward Little Rus

Newspapers in Petrograd continue

.HAWLEY CITIZEN
WANTS KAISER'S
PICTURE BURNERS
PLACED IN JAIL

A picture of the German Kaiser,
framed and for q years holding an
honored position in the home of Geo.
II. Peters, OF Hawley, Mimi, has
been removed from the home and
burned.
Wherefore. Mr.. Peters, rightfully
indignant, wants revenge, and he
would have the cuIprits-he lists six
haWley village men in an affidavit
he made today before E. u, Wade,
police magistrate in Moorhead-
placed under arrest and prosecuted
for violating his home.
The af1davit, a three page affair,
recttes at length the value of the
kalsers picture, as seen by the
maker of the paper. Mr.. Peters
figures the Kaiser's picture worth
$lOO-though it cost but 25 cents
about 27 years ago, and was received
into the family as, a premium with
The Chicago Free Press.
Not only was the Kaiser's likeness
portrayed, but the whole royal
family seems to have had a place
within the frame. The frame and
the glass, by the way. were LEFT In
the Peters home-only the picture
itself was removed.
Mr.. Peters recites that the invasion
or his home occurred about 10 o'clock
Friday evening, while he and other
members OF his family were absent
from the residence. A skeleton key,
the property. he claims, of Harry
Burrili, was used in effecting en-
trance, and Mr.. Peters thinks Donald
Mcdonald was the operative who
used the key.
Relative to his own conduct, the
subscriber to the affidavit says he
had no words with anybody about
the Kaiser, about the war, or about
the President Of the United States.
Mr.. Peters lists Alfred Hagen,
Richard Wouters, Donald Mcdonald,
Harry Burrill, Clifford Bake and
John Doe" as the men he thinks
entered his home and made way with
the Kaiser's likeness
Mr.. Peters told his story to Coun-
ty Attorney Dosland OF Clay county
today. Mr.. Dosland wasn't keen
about criminal proceedings against
the group named by the Hawley man,
and SO the affidavit was made to
cover the points issued. 1t will be
forwarded to the attorney general Of
Minnesota.

GREAT LAKES SHIPYARDS
Chairman Hurley Plans to Build
HulIs and Float Them Through

Chicago, Jan. 5.--The largest pos
sible use Of the Great Lakes ship
yard for the building Of government
vessels was expressed as a. war need
by r. N. Hurley, chairman OF the
emergency feet corporation, in an adj
dress last night at the Chicago club.
Mr.. Hurley expressed himself in
favor Of $500 ton vessels to be built
at Great Lakes ports and thea float
ed through the Erie canal to the coast.
I'VE have contracted for between
100000 and 100000 tons of shipping
on the Great Lakes" said Mr.. Hur-
ley tThis is for vessels Of $500 tons
each, 264 feet long that will be able
to pass through the canal. But ] favor
the building Of a great many hulls of
1880 ton vessels on the Great Lakes,
hoating them through the Erie canal
and building their superstructure in
the eastern yards"
Mr.. Hurley pointed out the conges-
ton in the eastern yards, and also the
scarcity OF men. The housing OF men
in the east also presents serious
problem, the speaker said.

prisoners ate like ravenous animals
and said Ii was the best food they

The correspondent was told by the
prisoners that the method of the
French attack was an entirely new
experience for them as they seldom
had undergone such murderous artil-
lery fire. Most OF the the men were
Moravians, Dalmatians and Galicians.
The sudden French charge after the
artillery fire bowled them over be-
fore they had any chance to offer
resistance. Concerning the war they
all expressed themselves as heartily
sick Of II and said that the Germans
were keeping the others in the
fight.
AS the officers came from their
quarters IL was seen they were chief
ly Hungarians, with some Moravians
and Dalmatians and one Galician.
They were cold and their first re-
quest was for warm food.
I'VE have not had warm food for

The officers were in even worse

gangrened with rust.
The officers were unkempt and had
not been shaved for a week. Their

Although the BoIshevik foreign,
minister, Leon Trotzky, announced
that the German peace terms would
not be accepted, it was expected
that the Russian delegates would
return to Brest- -Litovsk efor the
meetings which were to be resumed
today, to inform the. central powers
of Russia's attitude. The Russians
requested transference Of the nego-
tiations to Stockholm, because they
would have less difficulty there in
obtaining full publicity concerning
the negotiations, and also because
they preferred a neutral place to the
German eastern headquarters for
holding the discussions. The German
chancellor, Count Won Hertling, told
the reichstag main committee on
Thursday that the German delegates
had been instructed to refuse to
transfer the negotiations to Stock
