FRIDAY EVENING
PEACE BREAK MAY
HELP BOLSHEIVKI
[Continued from First Page.[
egates have proposed that the con
ference meet in Stockholm, which, if
agreed to by the Germans, will make
for delay.
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. Carson Stamm and
gave his name nnd occupation, a ma
chinist in the employ of the W. O.
lllckok plant. Ninth and Cumberland
streets. 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.
