Majority Caucus Reveals That
Lenine Faction Will Domin
ate All Russian Soviet
Congress.
TO HASTEN JAP ACTION
Decision Leaves Empire Open
To Economic Domination by
Teutons—Means Reopen
ing of Trade.
By Associated Press.
From Russia today comes news
of a vote by delegates to the All
Russian congress of soviets at Mos
cow overwhelmingly in favor of
ratifying the peace treaty dictated
by Germany to the Russian dele
gates at Brest-Litovsk.
The wording of the meager ad
vices leaves the significance of the
ballot somewhat in doubt, but it
appears probable that the vote of
453 to 30 recorded was cast by the
members of the majority, or bolshe
vist party in a caucus.
If this is the fact the final de
cision on the ratification of the
treaty had not yet been taken when
the dispatch was filed yesterday.
The forecast in Moscow dispatches
of earlier date, however, was that
ultimate ratification seemed prob
able and the bolshevist vote would
indicate an extremely strong cur
rent running in that direction.
Potrograd, Thursday, March 14.—The
!All-KUssian congress of soviets meet
ing at Moscow yesterday, by a vote of
453 to 30, decided to ratify the peace
treaty with the central powers.
M. Ryazonov, a prominent bolshe
vist theorist and representative of all
the professional unions resigned from
the bolshevist party after the vote.
One year ago today Emperor Nicholas
abdicated as autocrat of Russia and yes
terday the all-Russian congress of soviets
by an overwhelming vote agreed to Ger
man peace terms.
German militarism takes from the pres
ent Russian government thousands of
square miles of land and millions of in
habitantt contained in the former imper
ial territories of p'inland. Poland, Cour
land. Lithuania, Esthonla, Livonia and
the Ukraine in Europe and Batoum, Kars
and Erivan in the Caucasus. The Rus
sian army must demobilize, the Russian
fleet is interned and favorable trade
agreements arc to be given Germany and
her allies.
The action of the all-Russian congress
of i.oviets in accepting the German peace
clears the way for announcement of allied
Intentions as regards Japanese interven
tion in Siberia and gives Germany vast
opportunities for political and economic
penetration of the former Russian em
pire. The decision of the congress is the
culmination of the peace steps begun by
the bolshevist government last December.
The first peace conference at Brest
I.itovsk was abortive, Germany on Feb
ruary 15. rejecting the declarations of
Foreign Minister Trotzky and resuming
hostilities against Russia. The Germans
then made peace with the L’kraine and
prepared to aid the government there in
putting down the bolshevists. On Febru
ary 13 the German advance into Russia
was renewed and the Dvina river crossed
at Dvinsk.
Meeting with little opposition the Ger
man advance soon menaced Petrograd ami
the bolshevist government decided to ac
cept Germany’s peace terms. Foreign
Minister Trotzky refused to go to Brest
Litovsk and Premier Lenine sent Zino
vieff, a close follower of his.
The pacifist policy of Premier Lenine
brought a break in the bolshevist ranks
and Trotzky resigned several days ago.
This cleavage apparently had no effect
on f/enine’s mastery of the congress of
soviets.
Bv the peace terms Russia must give up
Poland, Oourland, Livonia, Esthonia and
the Ukraine. In Asia Minor the Russians
are compelled to retire from Armenia anil
to cede to the Turks the Russian districts
of Batoum, Kars and Erivan.
Russia must renounce all claims to the
occupied territories in Europe, Germany
and Austro-Hungarv to decide the fate
of these regions in agreement with their
populations. The Russian army must be
demobilized and Russian warships are to
he disarmed.
Mora important to the central powers Is
tiie reopening of navigation in the Black
and Baltic seas and the signing by Rus
sia under compulsion of a new commercial
treaty with guarantees of a most favored
nation treatment, at least until 1925. The
bolshevist also promised to put an end
to all propaganda and agitation within the
central empires and in occupied territories
under their control.
PEACE WITH UKRAINE.
Amsterdam, (Wednesday,) March 13.
The opening of peace negotiations at
Kieve between Russia and Ukraine is
reported in a iV naneasditlicp
reported in a Vienna dispatch to the
V03sisehe Zeitung of Rerlin.
The Ukraine radn, the dispatch says,
■will meet soon to ratify the peace
treaty with the central powers.
The government set up in Ukraine after
Its declaration of independence from Rus

shevLst, who sent troops to suport a bol

of battles were fought ana Kiev was cap

posed by the central powers in the peace
— treaty with Russia and the advance of
Teutonic troops into Ukraine hpwever
compelled the bolshevlst to give up th' ir
campaign.
WASHINGTON IN DARK.
Washington, D. O., March 15.—Aside
from press dispatches, Washington had
no information today on the decision
of the all-Russian congress of soviets
at Moscow ratifying the German peace
terms. Nothing had come either from
Ambassador Francis at Vologda or the
American consul general at Moscow.
Officials have no means of knowing
whether the action was taken before or
after receipt of President Wilson’s mes
sage to the people of Russia promising
American aid in obtaining for Russia
full independence from German ag
gression. The message was sent March
11 and the congress decided to ratify
the peace with Germany March 14. Its
receipt has not been acknowledged by
the American consul general at Mos
cow, by whom it was to have been de
livered.
BOLSHEVISTS DOMINANT.
London, March 15,—A Reuter dis
patch filed yesterday at Retro grad says
that the bolshevlst majority at the Mos
cow conference decided by a vote of
453 to 30 to supnort the peace treaty.
The foregoing dispatch indicates that
only the bolshevist. delegates to I oe Mos
cow conference were represented in Un
vote taken, In what may have been a
majority caucus. The menshevist and
probably other factions are reported ar
the conference, hut owing to the strength
of Ihe bolshevlst It is improbable that the
decision could be reversed. Owing to the
present condition of cable transmission
dispatches received from Russia are ia
completo and frequently almost unlnt-1
Ugible.

British Foreign Secretary Tells
Parliament Allies Cannot
Stand by and See Slav
Empire Wrecked.
London, (Tuesday), March 14.—De
bate on the question of Japanese Inter
vention in Siberia in the house of com
mons today brought from Foreign Sec
retary Balfour the declaration that
German penetration in Russia must be
combatted. The allied point of view
was that they should help Russia in
protecting herself against Germany.
Although he did not think that Ger
many would send an army to Vladi
vostok, he said he had absolute faith
in Japan’s loyalty in carrying out any
decision reached by the allies.
Discussing the situation in Russia.
Mr. Balfour said:
“If Russia had not been at war, it
would have taken many years to com
plete the beneficient course of the rev
olution. When autocracy fell almost
without a blow, Russia immediately fell
into -chaos. It is untrue to say that
the same tiling happened in the French
revolution, for there the effect was
not the disintegration but the integra
tion of France. Precisely the opposite
happened in Russia. The revolution
came and all the old divisions between
regions and creeds became marked and
prominent.
Situation Doubly Difficult.
“It must inevitably take time before
we will see the end of that process
and to know clearly how much of old
Russia, if any, ought to cease to form
a part of new Russia, and how new
Russia will be constituted. It is a very
difficult process in time of peace and
prosperity, but how can you carry it
on in time of war with a remorseless,
persevering and quite unscrupulous en
emy at the gate?
“There will be classes, some from
patriotic, others from selfish motives,
ready- to welcome anything promising
a semblance of stability and order in
the government. When that time comes
I can imagine Germany trying to re
establish possibly ihe old form of au
tocratic government. We. should then
have Russia shorn of some of its
fairest provinces and with a kind
of autocracy fay- worse than the old
autocracy, because it would lean upon
a foreign power for continued exist
ence. If that came to pass, all out
dreams of Russian development and
Russian liberty would be gone and Rus
sia would become a mere outpost of
the central powers.
“That is the real difficulty of deal
ing with the problems raised in this de
bate. Mr, Lees-Smith’s speech is a
strong attack on what he conceives as
the government’s policy with regard to
i Japan and Siberia. It is entirely- ob
| livlous of the facts I have Just brought
i before the house and is based on a pro
j found misunderstanding of what any
i human being had ever thought, con
trived or desired with regard to allied
i intervention, Japanese or other in Rus
j sian affairs.”
Questions Japan’s Faith.
H. B. Lees-Smith, a liberal in ques
tioning Mr. Balfour as to the British
attitude, had declared that if Japan
entered Russian territory- and occupied
it at the mandate of tne alliance, it fol
lowed with almost absolute certainty
that this territory would not be re
turned.
| “I cannot let this debate end, said Mr.
Balfour in conclusion, “without repudi
ating to the full Mr. Lees-Smith’s sug
gestion that Japan would be moved by
selfish and dishonorable motives in any
I course which may- be discussed in
I Japan, either among her statesmen or
| with the allies.
“Japan has behaved with perfect
1 loyalty and if she gives promises with
j regard to Russian integrity or any
question connected with Russia, she
would keep them as she has kept, all
promises she had made in connection
; with this war or any great public
i transactions with the United States and
! the allies. 1 draw no distinction in this
matter between Japan and the allies
j who make up the great body of the bel
j ligerents on the entente side.
"The decisions the allies may have to
: take will not be without difficulty, but
the principle upon which these decl
! sions may be arrived will be neither un
! generous, unfair, nor hostile to Russia
i and the Russian revolution. Our ob
j ject is to see Russia strong, intact, se
j cure and /ree and if these objects can
i be obtained then, and then only-, will the
: Russian revolution bring forth all the
; fruits its best friends desire to see."

With the American Army in France,
March 16.—American troops now occu
py their first German trenches. They
consist of nearly a mile and a half of
front line positions in the Badenviller
region on the Luneville front.
The positions were occupied in broad
daylight by tile Americans after Ger
man evacuation.
The German barrage later forced a
withdrawal but the Sammies returned
and now firmly hold the posts. The
posts have been consolidated. Auto
matic rifles have been mounted and the
posts are fully defended. The trenches
were so dominated by Yankee artil
lery that the boches evacuated. The
American found the trenches supported
by strong timbers. The broken ones
having been replaced.
The boches are playing a safe de
fensive game on all fronts today, where
they are occupied by Americans. This
has been made apparent by recent
raids. In expectation of the raids the
enemy simply evacuates all front posi
tions and retires to the safety of the
rear lines. The Sammies are alert and
active and the Germans are unable to
tell when to expect something.
There was considerable sniping today
on the Luneville front. The Sammies
are becoming exceptionally proficient
at tills art. There was also much gre
nading back and forth while aerial
activity is constantly increasing.
This, though a small forward move
ment, marks the first permanent ad
vance by the American army in France.
The consolidation of the trenches en
ables the Americans and French to
operate from higher ground than here*
tofore.

By Associated Press.
Fighting activity on the British front
from Ypres south toward Arras con
tinues at a sharp pitch. On the hitherto
quiet sector between Armentieres and
Vermelles, about 3 5 miles, the German
artillery fire continues intense, as it has
been for several days past. A strong
German detachment attempted a raid
on this front, but was thrown back by
the Portuguese. On the southern end of
the Ypres sector, Australian troops
have been successful in raids into
enemy lines and in repulsing German
raiding parties. There has been heavy
artillery firing on the French front and
the French have repulsed three Ger
man raids.

German Press Thrown Into Hot
Rage by Allied Action in Re
gard to Use of Hol
land’s Ships.
“GLY POLICY IS EXPOSED
.'eutons Seek to Intimidate and
Browbeat Neutral Neighbors
and Cripple Their Fu
ture Trade.
London, March 16—The notice served
on Holland by Great Britain and the
United States regarding the taking
over of Dutch shipping in allied ports
has thrown the German press into a
towering rage, the Copenhagen cor
respondent of the Exchange Telegraph
company cables. The newspapers de
mand. that Germany take the most
drastic counter measures if Holland
gives way to the allies.
Washington, D. C.. March IB.—Ger
many's latest campaign of ruthless
ness against neutral shipping is at
tributed by the war trade board to a
deliberate plan for cutting off the north
European nations from Americun and
allied food supplies and thereby reduc
ing them through starvation to a po
litical and economic dependence upon
the Teutonic war lords.
While the board makes no reference
to the determination of the United
States and Great Britain to take over
Dutch ships in American and allied
ports unless The Netherlands govern
ment accepts a pending economic agree
ment, its statement throws interesting
light on the situation which led to this
decision. The hope is expressed that
the neutrals will contrast the respective
attitudes of the United States and Ger
many toward the problem of feeding
them.
To Starve Out Neutrals.
Following is the statement in part:
"Germany’s war leaders are using the
submarine war weapon to prevent ful
fillment of American agreements to
feed and relieve European neutrals. A
mass of cumulative evidence and indi
cations in the possession of the war
trade board show that Germany is em
ploying the submarine menace to pre
vent neighbor neutrals receiving any
food or favors at the hands of the
United States and its associates in the
war and to coerce these neutrals
through starvation Into political and
economic dependence upon Germany,
quite as much as to strike at the com
munications of its opponents—Ger
many's ostensible aim In proclaiming
the ruthless submarine campaign.
"Further indications tend to show
that the submarines are being used,
along similar dog-in-the-manger lines,
to destroy neutral shipping without re
gard to its employment, in order to
weaken prospective neutral competi
tors after the wnr, and to drag down
neutral tonnage as far as possible to
ward a position of equality (or
inferiority) with the German mercan
tile marine, which has lost between 40
and 60 per cent of its ocean tonnage,
so that the neutral trader may be
equallv as badly off as his German
rival for tonnage in the after-the-war
race for commerce.
Hun Game Exposed.
“The intent of the Germans to pre
vent neutrals receiving food and sup
plies under relief agreements concluded
with the United States, is illustrated
by the German veto placed upon the
temporary modus vlvendl with Holland
providing for tho provisioning of that
country. Two food ships loaded with
supplies for the Netherlands along with
11 Belgian relief ships, have been wait
ing in American ports for weeks, un
able to sail because of the refusal of
Germany to permit an equivalent
amount of tonnage leaving Dutch har
bors. the obvious plan of the German
authorities being to gather all Dutch
ships into home harbors and then pre
vent any of them sailing by threats to
torpedo any vessel leaving Holland
waters.
“The present campaign of threats and
intimidations ugainst the Scandinavian
neutrals now carried on in the semi
official North German Gazette, and
other organs of the German press, is
obviously intended to frighten the
northern neutrals from completing
agreements which benefit the neutrals
quite as much as the Unlttd States and
its associates.”
