BOLSHEVIK WILLING j
TO MAKE PEACE
LONDON, March 7—It is reported
Sere that the Russian Premier Le
nine has made proposals to the Peace
Conference regarding negotiations lor
Peace.
Denine is reported to be willing to
conclude peace with the lAlied powers
providing guarantees are given that
they will not interfere with inter
nal affairs in Russia.
Efforts which have been made to
induce some of the Peace Delegates
to state whether the Peace Council
intended to open negotiations with
the Bolsheviks on this basis have been
fruitless.
(Lenine was reported on Jan 7 to
have quarrelled with Trotsky who
had him thrown into prison, Trotsky
then assuming the dictatorship of
Russia. t seems that this report
was a lie circulated for ulterior pur
poses and another sample of the so
called news which is being handed
out regarding the Bolsheviks and
their doings.)
WEIMAR March 6—It is reported
here that the radical government con
trolling Munich Bavaria is negotiat
ing with the Russian Bolsheviks to get
in closer relations with the Russian
Soviet.
The Bavarian radicals utterly out
of sympathy with the present German
government are seemingly seeking as
slstance from the Bolsheviks in the!
event that the German government
should use force of arms to coerce the
radicals.
BERLIN, March 6—It is reported
that one division of the German army
will leave from Wilhelmshaven to at
tack the Russian Bolsheviks at Libau
Courland.
All sorts of rumors are current here
regarding the main object of this
proposed expedition.
Many of the Geman people are op
posed to this contemplated step, as
Germany is considered to have enough
troubles of her own without mixing
in Russian affairs.
JUCO SLAV S SCRAP
WITH ITAUENS
WASHINGTON, March 6—Uncon
firmed reports from the Peace Con
ference state that.t he American Peace
Delegates have issued a warning to
the Italian government that unless
she ceases delaying foodshipments to
the Jugo-Slavs, the food shipments
to Italy from the United States will
be stopped immediately.
Representatives of the Jugo-Slavs
having remonstrated with the Ital
ian government officials regarding the
unfair food division, finding their re
monstrances of no avail, are reported
to have protested to the Peace Con
ference and asked to have the distri
bution regulated.
The warning reported to have been
sent to Italy is reported to be the
xesult of this protest by the Jugo
Slavs.
WASHINGTON, March 6—Dis
patches have been received here by
the State Department stating that
American naval forces had to inter
vene in a clash between Jugo-Slavs
and Italians at Spalato, Dalmatia.
The Italian officials are reported to
hve been attacked by Jugo-Slavs but
were rescued by American marines
and escorted on board of an Ameri
can vessel.
Considerable bad feeling has exist
ed between the Jugo-Slavs and Ital
ians owing to racial differences and
the claims Italy has made that Dal
matia inhabited principally by Jugo
slavs should come under the Italian
flag. A pretension the Dalmation ]
lave always resented.
PARIS, March 5—A Russian Jew
lamed Kneller fired" two shots at the
Residence of the French President
Poincaire failing to do any damage
lowever.
When arrested, Kneller stated that
le fired the shots as a protest against
Allied intervention in Russia.

government, has announced that all
Irish political prisoners will be re
leased in the near future. Whether
the participants in the Easter Re
bellion will bo included in this pardon
ir not has not been definitely stated.

w’* iout TOJI fSlh^er forcing matters

Wi’VTORK March 4>—Owing to
ti inability of the officials of the U.
. > onciliation Board to settle the
n . between the harbor workers
yfr i ,eir employers, the latter he
ir f'lffiermined not to grant the eight
hour day, demanded by the harbor
workers sixteen thousand of the lat
ter comprising engineers, firemen
and sailors have gone on strike to en
force their demands.
Fifty thousand longshoremen em
ployed on the New York waterfront
threaten to go on a sympathetic strike
if the employers refuse to acceede to
the demands of the strikers.
Officials of the Longshoremen's
Union state that should a referendum
vote by the members of their organ
izaton be called for, the vote would
be overwhelmingly in favor of as
sisting the striking harbor workers
by going on a sympathetic strike.
Should the longshoremen decide
to join the striking horbor workers
shipping both local and over seas
would be completely tied up, a pos
sibility which New York shippers do
not care to even contemplate.
NEW YORK, March 7—The offi
cials of the striking Harbor Workers
have made the announcement that a
settlement of their demands with
slight modifeation has been brot about
by officials of the Railroad Adminis
tration acting as arbitrators between

ing from ten to twenty dollars per
month has been granted.

Unon stated that, fully forty per cent,
of the strikers would have returned
to their work by next Monday.
SENATORS SIGN STATEMENT
WASHINGTON, March 5—Thirty
seven Republican Senators have sign
ed a statement made by Senator
Lodge pledging themselves to refuse
to ratify the peace treaty if the latter
includes provisions for the formation
of a League of Nations.
They declare themselves to be ut
terly opposed to the U. S. joining this
League, membership in which would
be against her best interests, and dia
metrically opposed to the foreign pol
icy hitherto followed by the Amer
ican government.
WASHINGTON, Mach 8—Repre
sentative Albert Johnson urges the
next Congress to enact legislation to
bar all immigration into the U. S.
for four years and to expell all unde
sirable aliens.
Johnson states that unless this
country puts up the bars and that
speedily, millions of immigrants from
the debtridden countries of Europe
may be expected to arrive here.
The labor situation being already
I serious in the U. S. it would be enor
mously aggravated if unrestricted im
migration was allowed.
In his opinion it would take at
least four years until the American
industries had adjusted themselves to
peace conditons.
The present situation, aggravated
by unemployment is giving the radi
cals too much chance for their propa
ganda wthout increasing the dtfficul
ties by allowing an enormous influx
of cheap foreign labor.

that the Allies have, after many con
ference on the subject, agreed on the

ference to favorably Oonsider Ire
land's claim for self determination
in consonance with one of President
Wilson's most important Peace terms.
Little oppositon was offered to the
passage of this resolution, most oi
the representatives seemingly being
in sympathy with Ireland's claim far
independence and establishment of an
Irish republic on the same grounds to
be granted them, as the independence
of the Poles, Czech’s and Jugo-Slavs
has virtually been assured by the
Peace Conference.
