Germany and Letvia
Begin New Farley;
Seek Baltic Peace
Recall of Diplomatic Repre-
sentatives in Berlin I'm.
likely; Esthonians to Con-
fer With "Reds" Tuesday

BERLIN, Nov. 29.-New armistice
negotiations with the Lettish govern
ment have been begun, according to the
"Deutschc Allgemeine zeitung.' which
declares warlike complications, indl
Gated by the recall of Lettish diplo-
matte representatives from Berlin. are
unlikely, as nobody is prepared TO
fight"
LONDON, Nov. 29.-The EsthoniaE
government has announced that peace
negotiations with Soviet Russia will
be begun at Dorpat Tuesday, accordinG
to wireless dispatch from Moscow
to-day.
The Soviet delegates, it is stated. will
cross the front in the neighborhood Of
Pskov.
ALTHOUGH Esthonia only is mentioned
in the Bolshevik message regarding
the impending negotiations at Dorpat,
it seems not improbable that Lithuania
and Letvia will join in the parleys,
the first peace negotiations OF moment
to be held by the Bolsheviki since their
historic conferences of 1917 with de e.
gates of the Central Powers. which led
to the peace of Brest-Litovsk. A Dor
pat dispatch on November % reported
that Letvia and Lithuania had def
nitely decided to join Esthonia in in
viting the Bolsheviki to send "A delcga-
tion to Dorpst 20 begin peace ncgotia-
tions. The date for the negotiations
then mentioned was December !
Maxim Litvinoff, envoy of the Moscow
Soviet government, was IN Dorpat at
the time engaged in the negotiat lions
with the representatives OF the Baltic
states with regard to the exchange Of
prisoners, arrangements concerning
which were understood to have been
agreed to.
Later advices on the situation. re
ceived in dispatches from Helsingfors,
cast some doubt upon the attitude
Letton and Lithuania toward the Boil
sheviki, there being intlmations that
some pressure had been cxcrtcd from
Entente sources upon the Baltic states
against any peace negotiations with the
Soviet. Ii seemed to be conceded, how
ever, that at any rate Esthonia has
invited the Soviet TO send peace dele
cation to Dorpat, ard that the p.oba-
bilities seemed strong that the other
Baltic states were Interested in the
proposition. Yesterdays advices from
Moscow apparently show that Estho-
MAS position was correctly set forth.
the attitude of the Other Baltic states.
however, being as set somewhat in
doubt.
Bolshevik forces have been aercely
attacking Esthonan troops along the
Narva front since Thursday. but have
been everywhere repulscd. according TO
an Esthonian official statement received
here. The Bolshevik attacks have 'ocn
made in close formation and severe
losses have been inflicted by the
Esthonians, il is said.

Socialists Ask Italy
To Release Russians
Prisoners Taken Over From
Austria Declared To BE
Detained Illegally

ROME, Nov 29 (By The Associated
Press) The directorate of the Social
ist party has decided TO protest against
the treatment being given the Russian
prisoners taken oyer by Italy from
Austria Hungary, after the defeat Of
the Dual Monarchy. These prisoners
are nterned on the island of Asinara,
off the northwest coast OF Asihara.
The Socialists claim the Russians are
being treated unjustly. Italy not being
at war with Russia. 1t is pointed out.
also. that these Russians fought with
the Entente against the Central Pow
ers. The directorate of the Socialists
wrote a letter to Premier Nitti pro-
testing.
The demand Of the Socialists is that
these interned Russians be released
unconditonally. The Socialists say
they will undertake to provide work
by which the Russians may support
themselves if they desire to remain in
Italy. They also demand that the gov
ernment negotiate with the existing

Destruction Decided On by
Supreme Council After
Ten Submersibles Have
Been Awarded to France
Italy Also to Get Ships
New German Note Seeks to
Shift Blame for the Scapa
Flow Sinkings to Allies

PARIS. Nov. 29.-France Is TO get ten
Of the German submarines, the Supreme
Council decided to-day in continuing its
consideration of allotment of German
naval tonnage among the Allies. France
is allowed this number OF submersibles,
it is explained, because during the war
she was unable to build TO the extent
of others of the Allies. her plants being
devoted to the making Of munitions for
the use Of all.
The present understanding is that
the remainder of the submarines will
be broken up. dispatches from Paris
yesterday said the Supreme Council
also had decided that France would get
at least five light cruisers and ten tor
pedo boats, for reasons identical with
those given in the allotment Of the
submarines. Italy, it was stated. like
wise was to get a similar allotment Of
the smaller warships.)
German Sentiment Divided
German democrats and Socialists are
urging the Berlin government to mod
ify its attitude relative TO prisoners OF.
war and reparation for ships sunk by
their German crews in Scapa Flow. ac-
cording to the "Presse de Paris" which
quo es dispatches received here from
Berlin. 1t is said members of the two
parties believe the government has
been too stubborn in making the stand
evidenced by the two notes received
yesterday by the peace conference.
BERLIN. Nov. 29.-The government
has sent to the peace conference at
Paris supplemental memorandum
with regard to the sinking by their
crews Of the German warshiDs interned
in Scapa Flow and the conferences de-
mand for indemnification for the loss
of tho vessels.
Allies Blamed for Sinkings
The memorandum asserts the intern
ment of the fleet in Scapa Flow did not
constitute the final disposition Of the
warships. the sinking of which must
not be CHARGED to Germany. but to the
Allies. who interned the feet in Brit
ish port and not neutral port, which
was contrary to the stipulatlons of the
armist'ce.
Admiral Won Reuter-, the memoran-
dunn declares. was derived of means
o. communicating with Germany, and
believed he armsticc ended at noon on
June p Therefore. in accordance with
maritime custom. he began sinking the
feet. The memorandum raises the ad-
ditional point that. as Won Reuter- was
prisoner he had lost his command and
therefore Germanv's responsibility for
his acts ceased to exist In conclusion,
the memorandum proposes TO submit
the question to the Hague Tribunal for
arbitration.

FOR OUR NEW SERIAL
STORY ANNOUNCEMENT
C0RTEI HOUR OF TRIUMPH
Impressive Scene When the Spanish AdVenturer Met Emperor Mon-
 tezuma of Mexico.

On the morning of November 5, 151S the Spaniards were on the cause way which was one of the three to con- meet Tenochtitlan with the mainland, and so wide that eight of the Span ish cavalry could ride abreast on It. On all sides, in the road and in ca noes on the lake, a crowd of AZtecs gazed at the descendants of the god who had at last, as they believed, car ried out his promise. At the entrance to the city they were greeted by 1,0OO principal citizens with salutatiOns and kissing of hands to the bare earth; l; and then, after crossing drawbridge, they saw approaching in a gorgeous litter none other than the great Mon- tezums, escorted by 200 of his cour- tiers.
 Never has there been a more impress sive scene in the history of the Amer lean continent than this meeting be- tween the emperor of all Mexico and the Spanish adventurer. The pictur- esque surroundings, the silver-towered city rising from the gleaming lake, the countless hosts of gayly dressed sub jects watching in awed silence, the magnifcence of Montezuma and his train, the bronze, war-wOrn yet fiery appearance of the Spanlards-all these seem like & page from the Arabian Nights" rather than sober history. The Spaniards, we may be sure, realized they were living romance of the first order, and their hearts beat high with triumph, as with swords clanktng and horses prancing they advanced into this city of legend.-From "Med- CO.," by Louise s.

WORRY "CoNDIMENT OF LIFE"
A Little of It Excellent but lt MusS Not Be Enduring or
 Excessive.

Unless a man has a Title worry apathy, indifference and the mechan- Ical physical disinclinatlon to do your utmost without sunt will be lacking. Without this condiment of life, this salt of the human cosmos, I've see 10 what absurd yet tragic physical lengths he is driven by the whip or that still vigorous tyrant, his self instinct to fight" This thrilling force, which one time had been used square ly and successfully against the real world enemy, is now absorbed in trivial and self-debasing shrmishes with the grotesQue bOlsheyih of his imagination.
 In other words, if & man has va riety of anxious explosive outlets via his muscles and intellect, such as driv- ing. tennis, swimming, dancing, compe- tition, golf and the like, these act as safety valves for the multitude of im- pulses and reactions which habit and custom have compressed out of his external activities.
 Worry is one of these, If not endur- ing or excessive. For the average man set in society, in work and in his fam fly circle 1t takes the place Of larger and better outlets for his destroyed initiative.
