A news dispatch received in Lon don says the Russians have made counter proposals to the Germans. It is added that they will be discussed at the next meeting at Brest-Litovsk on Saturday, which would indicate the lUissfiins have not persisted in their demand that future meetings be held on neutral soil. The new Rus sian proposals call for complete evac uation of occupied territory pending a referendum on self-definition. Reports that the German and Aus trian emperors and their military and political advisers are much perturbed over the Russian attitude are fol lowed by one that Count Von Hert ling, the German imperial chancellor, is ill. Berlin political circles have a rumor that Von, Hertling, who is 74 years old, is to be ousted In favor oi' I rince Von Buelow, the former chancellor, who is very close tp the Crown Prince. London. Jan. 4. —Developments in the Russo-German negotiations, the Daily Chronicle says, are likely to cause the western powers to give de facto recognition to the Lenine gov ernment in Russia. A statement of entente allied policy of a democratic character, it adds, shortly will be sent to Russia. M. L.itvinofT, who has been appoint ed ambassador to London by the Bol sheviki, the Daily Chronicle contin ues, may receive de facto recognition as' ambassador, while Sir George Bu chanan, the British ambassador to Russia, who is reported on his way home, may be replaced by a diplomat in sympathy with the ideas of revo lutionary Russia. These statements apparently are based on a contribution "by a diplo matic correspondent." The writer says that owing to the Bolshevik dis covery of Herman duplicity, anything may happen. "There are," he says, "three alter natives: The Bolsheviki may give way, the Germans may give way, or there will be a rupture of relations. The first is hardly likely in view ot Foreign Minister Trotzky's declara tion. The second is possible, for the Germans are past masters in the art of spacious compromise. But the third is most probable since the Bolsheviki have exhibited a perspicacity which was hardly expected in this country? "Russia, the land of boundless sur prises, may quite possibly witness a revival of war, if not in the most active form it misht at least be a sul lenly defensive war necessitating the keeping on the frontier of a consid erable German force. It would at least prevent those pleasant and poof itable commercial exchanges which Germany hopes for. "Assuming such a situation and the consolidation of Bolshevik power, provided failure to extract a peace does not wreck the Lenine region, then recognition of that power as the do facto government follows. Since that is so a socialist would be the logical representative of that govern ment, and Maxim Litvinoff. who has been appointed, is a likely enough oc cupant of the embassy." Referring to the retirement of Sir George AV. Buchanan, the British am bassador to Kussia, whose services are praised highly, the writer says: "In his place probably would be scnl a diplomat in marked sympathy with the idea of revolutionary Rus sia. . "Be that as It may, we may expect shortly some new statement of policy with regard to Russia, which, should It lean toward the latest develop ments and democracy, would undoubt edly strengthen the allied cause in Russia." Maxim Litvinoff, *who has been ap pointed Bolshevik ambassador to Great Britain, and who said yesterday that he probably would return to Pe trograd, has decided to remain in London pending the receipt of his instructions. M. Litvinoff declared his emphatic belief that by the present negotia tions and propaganda among the German soldiers In the east, Trotzky and Lenine are contributing to the downfall of Kaisertsm more efficient ly than the allies lighting in the west, lie concludes: • "I ain sanguine enough to imagine that the Russian and German armies on the eastern front some day will march against the common foe of the world's proletariat in Germany itself, and, perhaps, in other countries, too." The Bolsheviki foreign minister, Leon Trotzky, is said by the Petro grad correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company to have sent a communication to the Persian gov ernment offering to begin negotia tions for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Persian territory pro vided Turkey will withdraw herft. The Russian commissioners, tho correspondent says, have decided to negotiate with the government of Ukraine on the basis of recognition of the Ukranian republic provided it does not wreck the Lenine regime, against General Kaledines, the Cos sack leader. It is suggested these negotiations be held at Smolensk or Vitebsk. According to the same story, M. Kerensky, the deposed premier, has prepared an account of his services during the period of the first revolu tion. which will be presented to the constituent assembly. It includes full details of conditions at the front dur ing the June offensive, and the rea sons why M. Kerensky decided to re HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH! move former Emperor Nicholas to I Siberia. In the archives of the Russian for- I eign office there have been discovered dofcuments of unusual interest dealing with negotiations between Germany and the Imperial Russian government in regard to a national convention to combat socialism. Other curious doc uments relating to the origin of the war throw light on certain aspects of German policy. These papers will be published as soon as they have been classified. THIS MAN WANTS TO FIGHT FOR GERMANY [Continued from First Pagc.[ lately when a tall, strong, blond haired man took his seat at the table presided over by A.

There was nothing uncom mon in his data until Mr. Stamm reached the series dealing with "citi zenship." Not n Cltiy.cn "A,re you a citizen of the United States?" he was asked. "I am not." "Do you claim exemption from mil- | itary service because you are not a citizen?" "I certainly do." Continuing down the line of inqui ries which relate to date of arrival, name of vessel, and other details, the lawyer arrived at: "Have you ever taken out first pa pers?" And here Machinist Rose was em phatic. "No, sir. I have not." Willing to (ia Ilnck By this time the firmness and reso nant voice of the registrant had at tracted the attention of other law yers, who paused in their work as Mr. Stamm put the critical question: "Are you willing to return to Ger many and enter its military service?" "I want to answer yes to that," promptly replied Rose, darting a grim look over the audience, and he bore the limelight of amazement with plenty of poise. Instantly the big room was alive with a buzz of comment, and Rose as he left was followed by a small crowd of the curious, several of whom de clared that they had heard of him from employes who work in the Hickok factory. In a very short time the incident was carried here,and there until the Federal authorities heard of it and began to take action. Deputy United States Marshal Harvey T. Smith was notified at his office in the Post Office Building and a telephone message also was sent to Captain P. Lumb, who is in charge of a depart ment which works in co-operation with Federal authorities. !
