THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. 'DECEMBER I, 1917.N LENINE REGIME GIVES PLACE TO NEW COALITION Advanced Socialists Form Cabinet in Which Bolsheviki Are Represented to Dis-' place Old Leaders. London,' Nov. 30. Th$ government of Nikolai Lenine has fallen, accord ing to a Petrograd dispatch to the Daily Chronicle dated Wednesday. It has been succeeded by a coalition cab inet ot advanced socialists, in which, however, the Bolsheviki are repre sented. A Russian communication received here by wireless announces a union between the All-Russian central exec utive committee of the council of workmen's soldiers' delegates with the executive committee elected by the All-Russian peasants' congress. At a, united meeting of these bodies and fcilie Fetrograd council of work men s and soldiers delegates a unani mous agreement was reached as to laws concerning land and peace and to the law resting control in the hands of the workmen. Peace Proposals Affect Bourse. Amsterdam, Nov. 30. The feeling on: the bourse here that the Russo German negotiations portend a short ening of the war has caused a rush of buying orders, although there are warning voices that a peace with Rus sia does not necessarily mean peace in Europe.. Roumanian oil stocks rose sharply yesterday and closed at their highest mark for some time, stood at a little over 33 Dutch cents, now are nearly 35. JiANSDOWNE'S TALK JS MOVEFOR PEACE Tory Leader Throws England Into Ferment by Letter Call ing on Allies to Make Move for End of War. lain of the ilizfed London, Nov. 30. The strongest impetus to a renewal of the heated discussions of the rival schools on the war policy of the allies was provoked yesterday from a most unexpected quarter by publication of a long letter from the ' Marquis of Lansdowne, strongly pleading for a revision of -the allies war aims and an attempt to ob tain peace before "the prolongation it war leads to the ruin f the civ isd world." OLD TORY MEMBER. ine Marquis ot Lansdowne is a typical representative of the old tory party, tie was a member otAs quith's coalition administration and was secretary for foreign affairs in Lord Salisbury's and Mr. Balfour's ministries. He was viceroy of India and governor-general of Canada. He was the last public man to be sus pected of pacifist tendencies. His letter gives formal adhesion to President Wilson's policy of a league of nations and he asks: NATIONS EXHAUSTED. "What will be the value of the hlessings of oeace to nations so ex hausted that they can scarcely stretch forth a hand to grasp them?" Lord Lansdowne contends that ail immense stimulus probably would be given to the peace party in Germany if it were understood: "First, that the annihilation of Gerr m&ay as a great power was not de sii'd; second, that we do not seek to impose upon the German people a form of government against their choice; third, that, except aS a legiti mate war measure, we do not desire to deny Germany her place aroong the great commercial countries; fourth, that we are prepared after the war, in concert with other powers, to examine the international problems connected with the freedom of the seas; fifth, that we are prepared to enter into an international pact under which ample opportunities would be afforded for the settlement of interna tional disputes by peaceful means." Lansdowne's long and intimate connection with foreign affairs and diplomacy lends unusual authority to such a pronouncement at the moment of the meeting of the inter-allied con fcffuce at Pari3 and because of Clemenceau's recent t declaration against a league of nations, including Germany. Already ..there are indica tions of embitteed controversy over it. ; It is announced that the" govern ment had no previous knowledge of the letter and the strongest stipport ers of the government in the eve ning press suggest that the letter is very unwelcome to the government. Germany Untrustworthy. The Evening-News demurs agaiasl Lansdowne's suggestions on tlfie ground that Germany's word cannot be trusted in any matter and that an attempt, to argue with it would be a sheer waste .of tjme. The Asquith papers hail the letter as one of the most remarkable docu ments that the war has produced, the Star greeting the letter as the most formidable attack yet made on the Lloyd George !

Officials to Decide Whether to Move Offices Missouri Pacific' officials are in Omaha for the purpose of determin ing whether or not the freight and passenger offices will be moved out of the Ware block, Fifteenth and Farnam streets, prior to the expira tion of the lease, two years hence. The electric light company has bought the Ware block and officials are anxious to get immediate posses sion in order to make extensive changes prior to moving in. These cannot be made so long as the first floor is occupied by the railroad. It is safd that the electric light company representatives have made overtures looking to paying the railroad com pany a bonus if it moves out and at once gTves possession.

' CHILEAN WOMAN'S TRIAUS RESUMED; DEFENSE RESTS Indications Case Will Not Be Given to Jury Before Mid die of the Coming Week. ' Mineola, N. Y, Nov. 30. The trial of Mrs. Blanca De Saulles for the1 murder of her divorced husband. John De, Saulles,. was resumed in the supreme court today with indications that the case would not be given to the jury before Wednesday. . Attorney Uterhart, announcing the completion of the hypothetical ques tion to be submitted on behalf of the defense, made known the phrasing of the beginning and concluding parts of the 15,000-w?fd interrogation just be fore the opening of court this morn ing. Mrs. De Saulles seemed wearied by the long court proceedings, despite the holiday recess, when she appeared in court. She seemed more dejefced than at any time since the beginning of the trial and sat with a down cast sare, apparently without taking heed of what was going on about her. After reading of the hypothetical question had continued 30 minutes "Juror No. 4" fell asleep. He was awakened by the juror seated .on his left, Several others in the jury box did not seem to-be much interested in the lengthy interrogation. Two or three, with closed eyes, nodded in their " chairs, while others looked about the court, room or through the windows into the . countryside beyond. . Because District Attorney Charles R. Weeks did not approve of the framing of the hypothetical question put by Mrs. De Saulles' attorneys, he served notice that he would pre pare one to his own likingy which he will submit to alienists called on be half of the state. V ' v , This was expected to lengthen the taking of testimony considerably and it is believed the examination of ex pert witnesses will not be ended be fore Monday or Tuesday. . Before the defense rested its case, Attorney Uterhart stated that Mrs. Blanca Errazuriz, Mrs. De Saulles' mother, was too ill to testify. ; .' The defense rested its case at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. NATIONAL GUARD AND AIR FLEET ARRIVE IN FRANCE (Br Assoclatrd Preu.)

Germany is ready to discuss peace with Russia, if envoys with full pow ers are sent 'to .Berlin, Count1 von Hertling, the new imperial chancellor.,' declared- yesterday before the Reichj stag. He expressed the wish that the present efforts of the Bolsheviki- would bring peace and declared that the central powers were not respon sible for the prolongation of the war and held out as a warning to others, "the Rloriousadvance" into Italy. Conditions in Russia apparently remain greatly unsettled. It. is re ported that Lenine's government has given pay to a socialist coalition cab inet, in which the Bolsheviki are rep resented. .The British are pushing forward to- Lyons Mirror Burned; i ' " Will Resume Soon Lyon's, ' Neb., Nov. 30.
