RUSSIA GETS SEPARATE PEACE
GERMANY CONSENTS
TO RUSSIAN TRUCE
PETROGRAD, Nov. 21*. -That a
complete cessation of hostilities be
tween the German ami Russian ar
mies iian been agreed upon and is
now in force along the entire East
ern front is the result of the hur
ried negotiations of the last week
since the Bolsheviki accession to
i ontrol in Petrograd.
As conveyed in former dispatches
the Kaiser has been loath to entoi
into this agreement until satisfied
ihat the new regime is representa
tive. The fact i; that the new Rus
sian power came into control pre
cicely upon the issue oi' peace with
Germany regardless cl' the action
of any of the other allied powers,
and although Germany stands to
win enormously by such an arran
gement, it is known that the Kai-ei
until very recently has flatly re
fused to deal with any Russian au
thority except the what he termed
the legal successors to the Slav
government. ,
Ensign Krylenko, now command
ing the Russian armie- upon au
thority of the Bolsheviki. tas sent
representatives all along the Ger
man front and they are being ad-'
viacd by the German commanders |
that Germany officially onsents to'
an armistice for the di-cussicn of]
terms of peace between the two]
countries. The first conference to]
that enti is scheduled to take pleat*
December 2nd and it is felt hert»|
that there can be small doubt hu>
that, a peace arangement will be
reached early, upon i basis mutu-"
ally satisfactory to these two belli
ge rants.

POPE NOT TO URGE
PEACE AGAIty
WASHINGTON. D. C. Nt\. 28.—
A report is being circulated in di
plcmatic ai d war circles t'mt Pope
Benedict hrs in preparation a new
pence p-opos&l for submission to
tne nation, at v.ar The rumor is
cot alone current here but cabled
inquiries indicate a state of expect
ancy over the report of a resub
miusion of a peace communication
for (he Vatican in allied capitals
abroad.
Dispatches from Home just in
receipt here state that the Os erva
lore Komino the official organ of
the Vatican flatly denies tl:e report |
and states that while the devastat
ing war at' l its ravages that the
lime is not considered propitious
lor the submi aicn of any new pro
posal and that until the issue a(
..mis in northern Italy is somewhat
nearer conclusion it is felt that lit
lo hope could be had of favorable
entertainment of such proposals
at the hands of the belligerents
powers.
It is recalled that Pope Benedict’s
former proposal was entirely tenta
tive and calculated to feel out the
peace possibilities at the 'ime and
i :iis .vith the desire to acquire
some key of understanding with
which the world wide entangle
ment. The flat injection his propo
sal thus tentatively made received j
at the hands of thio country and j
Great Britain is believed to have
greatly saddened him and while his
labors for peace continue well sus- i
faired it is not thought probable
that he will renew his proposals
until the issues are further ad
vanced.
PRESIDENT DECLINE TO
GIVE INFORMATION
WASHINGTON, I). C., Nov. 2SS.—
President Wilson lias shut himself
In from al! callers except those
coining upon the highest and most
important otiicial business. The
occasion for his unwonted seclu
sion is stated to be that he has
settled down to the* real work of
earning his salary by undertaking:
to got something through the
noodle of Congressmen and with
his old typewriter is hammering
out. his regular message to them.
Newspaper men haunting the ex
ecutive offices ai:d the environs of
the President's residence were un
able to get the slightest intimation
ns to what subjects the President ]
will dineuss.
Tito wise one’s agree that the
supremo tect of the Wilson admi
nistration and war policies is to
come in the ensuing Congress, and
it is not believed that the Presi
dent will havs the easy sledding as
in the former session. The first con
tern of a Congressman is to see to:
it that he stays in the job,—that
he comes hack to Congress and in

upper house. Some of these, ob

CONFERENCE TO DECIDE
IF RUSSIA IS ENEMY
WASHINGTON. D. No". .\s. -
That 1 lit; inter allied shortly to con
vine in Paris "ill take up tlie ques
tion whether the new . ssian i ov
ernment, hecau- of its separate
dealings with Germc.y, is to he re
garded i an enemy power is the
statement made her by high gov
ernment oflu ials today.
This conference is composed of
delegates front thi V titled States,
Great Brita. France, Italy and al
lied got (•run ents oaposing the ilu
repean central powers of Germany
arid Austria, and a.'/ clothed with
tli" very highest afflha radoiial
powers to bird their sep'r-.»e gov
crntm lits. The specific pur] ose of
the conference is that of • ■ ordin.it
ing the military and ecotn.iJe re
sources of the allies and of r. -_-r»:
izing their command and disposi
tion, but it is not doubted jiow that
the Russian question will const'
'tute an order of Us business of
overshadowing importance .
The question of whether Ru-s!\
is now to be regarded as an enemy
[country will not depend upon proof
I that Russia 1>< <•< m< s the ally of
Germany but will rather hinge
upon the point that she has com
mitted an act of hostility by en
tering upon negotiations with Ger
many without the consent of the al
lies. It i,Sl admitted that a decla
ration ol hostility may involve us
actively in a war with Russia an
eventuality that may well open up
most interesting speculation.

AMERICAN BOAT
SUNK BY SUBMARINE
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 2S —
It is gifen out officially by the war
office that the American steamship
At 1,ins was torpedoed and sunk oh
the ccast ol' Spain la t Sunday.
The Atkins was loaded with mer
chandise and under regulations ar
ranged by the Department of the
Navy she carried r.r armed guard
comprised of thirteen naval men in
addition* to her regular crew. No
mention is made of passengers in
the dispatcher.
According to reports arriving
from London i egarding the dis
aster twenty one survivors have
arrived safely in the port of Ca
mir.aras with but three life baots
missing and with favorable weath
er prevailing these with -urvivors
tire expected to make port in time.
The sur .rivers landing reported that
all hands had taken to the life
boats without difficulty before the
ill fated vessel went down.
The sinking of the Atkins has
sorted to revive interest in the
problem which every ,-ince our en
trance into tlie war lias been up
permost in the < onsideraticn of file
war strategists, that of ending the
German submarine menace. Wlieu
week alter week the reports or
submarine activities showed tin
diver program of Germany weaken
ing and with the gfeat succe s ut
! tending the efforts of this country
and England to end them, interest
in the matter had subsided.
ARRIVAL OF OUTSIDE
MAIL IN DOUBT
Rumor persistently circulated in
Nome last evening to the effect that
the much longed for mail irom the
states ‘o the amount of one hund
red pounds or so would arrive in
charge of Eri< Johnson about noon
today Johnson will arrive all right.
There can be but litt doubt about
that. But that ho will have mail
front the ‘Outside” ot any conse
quence, is regarded as extremely
doubtful,
f o tmnstt r
Walsh v lien inter
viewed on tl.c : ubject stated that ;
ho had net received the slightest
intimation (hat such mail would be
in and expressed himself as regard
ing it as extremely improbable. Mr.
Walsl puts the time for the arrival
of the fir t outside mail, at (he very
earliest, on December 14th with
fair going on the other end of the
trail.
According to the published re
port such mail reached Chinik on
ruesoay and in due course should
arrive here today. It was a 1st. very
•.veil explained on <ho promise that
leaving Seattle at abont the ti.no or
the (opart',re of tin I’matilla s.ftli
mail could reasonably bo expected
today. It was al t. stat d that tin* <•
Umatilla left a pouch or two oi
moil ;t St Aiichaks out tliis like
wise is doubted by the postmaster
who sta'os that ho has never had
any report to that effect and that,
eo far as ho i. aware no mail was
short on the Umatilla.
