Ii Accepted Will Mean a Cessa-
tiOn of HOstiIitieS.

Hun Radicals Try To Make AL
lance With BOISheyiki.
Peace There Would Break Rap
idly Forming Red Front.

Paris, April 2.-There is now before
the peace conference a definite and
concrete proposal from the Russian
government for cessation of hostili-
ties. 1t bears Premier Lenine's sig
nature.
There is also authoritative informa-
ton that Karl Kautsky. German radi-
cal, is now in Moscow trying to ar
range formal alliance between Ger
many and Russia.
More Thought to Russia.
In the light of these two facts, the
peace delegates are giving more
thought to Russia than the daily Of
ficial communiques indicate.
The reports made by William Bull
lit, special agent of the American
delegation and Lincoln Steffens, writer
and private investigator, are undergo
ing the gravest consideration as they
represent not only the latest but the
most detailed and best information on
actual conditions in Russia, as well as
the attitude OF Russian leaders,
The greatest secrecy surrounds the
Lenine document, but it is known that
1t offers way to end host;lities be-
tween the Russian and the British
governments. How America is affect
ed, it is impossible to ascertain
The willingness of the delegates to
give thoughtful consideration to the
new proposition is believed to be the
outgrowth of various considerations.
the most important of which is that it
presents an apparent opportunity to
break at the outset the rapidly form
ing Bolsheviki front-Russia and
Hungary and with Germany, Rumania
and Serbia in the offing
Do Not Want Union.
The conferees frankly admit they
dislike a prospect of facing a real
alignment of those five countries.
With Russia eliminated it is felt the
keystone of the structure will be gone
Another important factor is that
medical men are becoming greatly
alarmed at possible spread of the ty-
phus epidemic westward from Russia,
emphasizing the fact that disease rec
ognizes no national boundaries 1t is

of the director of health in Petrograd,

at the concert in excess of 81 500 is to
go to the fund for the fatherless chill
dren of France and the other half to
the French war charities
The French Army band arrived in
Topeka about IL o'clock this morning.
1t was met at the train BY a delegation
from the Topeka Chamber of Com
merce and was taken to the auditor
ium in automobiles. Governor Henry
Allen delivered the address of well
come at that point. The members of
the band were guests of the Chamber
of Commerce at luncheon today.
Sent by French Government.
The band. which contains thirty or
more pieces, was sent to America by
the French government in response
to request of the United States gov
ernment. The reason for the call was
the pending flotation of the fourth
liberty loan. The band reached
America just before the beginning of
this campaign. During the campaign
it toured a dozen or more of the larg-
er American cities and was in a meas
ure responsible for the great over
subscription to that loan.
Every member of the band is a vet
eran of the world war. Every mem
Der of the band wears a decoration be-
slowed by the government of France
for gallantry in action and for con-
spicuous bravery under fire. But the
fact that the musicians are decorated
makes for the success of the band.
Every member of the band is a musi-
clan of the highest rank, most of
them being graduates of the Paris
conservatory of music and prize win
ners in the conservatory concerts.

Hungary Is Soon Due To Be
Given Economic Freedom.

Paris, April 2-When the big
four renewed its sessions today, Pres
ident Wilson was represented as hope-
full that the peace work would be
greatly speeded up. The presidents
plain speech to his colleagues late
Monday was believed to have resulted
in clarifying the situation, making il
clear that the people of the various
countries expect concrete results from
now on. Persons close to Wilson said
he is confident that some important
questions, including disposition of the
Saar valley, will be settled very short
ly. The big four yesterday after
noon continued discussion of repara-
ton and responsibility for the war and
also conferred with Marshal Foch
again regarding the landing of General
Haller's Polish army at Danzig.
Poland and Esthonia Free

and Esthonia has been lifted, effective
today. Austria also has been granted
( freedom of some trade restrictions, al
tho the blockade still continues against
shipment of war articles into that
country.
An international trade commission
will be established in Vienna to pre-
vent re-exportation of goods to Ger
many.
All countries except Germany, Rus
sia, Hungary and Lithuania are now
opened to world trade. There was
said to be a prospect that Hungary
will soon be given economic freedom.
Will Shake Things Up.
Washington, April president
Wilson has started to shake the leth-
argy out of the peace conference. He
has the support of Lloyd George in
his efforts.
With this information available to-
day, it is possible to state that the
president is determined to get action
and results now even if it is found nee
essary to shock some of the European
chancellories.
He has tried soft words, compli-
ments, the well known "salve" and
wheed1ing. He was applying these in
abundance as early as last, January,
but they have proved unavailing. To-

In one of the most heated contests

Herbert J. Corwine defeated w. C.
Tandy for mayor at the election Tues
day by only forty-four votes. Not un-
til the last precinct was reported in to
the State Journal bulletin boards at
1I:15 o'clock last night, was the reA
suit known. Excitement ranged high
as large crowds gathered to watch the
developments of the neck and neck
race between Corwine and Tandy.
There never was time during the
entire course of the several hours re-
quircd to count the ballot that anyone
could have picked either candidate as
a winner. First one pulled ahead. and
then the other. Never was there any
perccptible lead until late in the even
ing when Corwine had developed a
lead of over one hundred. Then, for
the first time. Tandy hackers began to
express n slight uneasiness as to the
possibility of his cutting down and
surprising the lead established by
COrWine.
