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, ind
Gated by the recall of Lettish diplo-
matte representatives from Berlin. are

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-
tons. 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 limitations 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.

Austria Declared To BE
Detained Illegally

ROME, Nov 20 (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

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 naturalization 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 adj
ditional point that. as Won Reuter- was
prisoner he had lost his command and
therefore Germans responsibility for
his acts ceased to exist In conclusion,
the memorandum proposes TO submit
the question to the Hague Tribunal for
arbitration.

COPIES or THE TREATY.

IS easy to believe that some of the International bankers
and perhaps representatives in this country of big French
and English commercial firms have copies of the peace
treaty Over there big business and government go hand
IN hand and the arrangement accepted as quite the proper
thing
But that Paris dispatch to the effect that the Germans
are sending to every member of congress Photographic re-
productions Of the treaty true the only thing that can be
said about it is that the profoundly learned statesmen of
Germany have guessed wrong again. Apparently they are
completely involved in the convoutons of their psyche
logical theories that there no room in their heads for horse
sense.
1t may be good practice on the continent of Europe for
political party to take advantage Of the friendly Offices
oil common enemy, but this side of the Atlantic and
even across the English channel the political game is not
played with that kind Of rules and the Teutonic copies of
the treaty will only 10 intensity the dsrust which is
tet this country congress and out for everything that
comes out of Germany.
