DISORDER FEARED IN RUSSIA
AS BOLSHEVIKI CONTROL OF
GOVERNMENT IS THREATENED
War With Roumania is Troubling Reds; Peace Negotia
tions With Central Powers At Standstill As Rus
sian Delegates Are Asked to Agree With
German View.
(By Associated Press.)
- An apparent deadlock in the peace negotiations with the
central powers, threatened war with Roumania and the hostility
of the Ukraine are the difficulties faced by the Bolsheviki
government, to which has been added the assembling in Pet
rograd of the delegates to the constituent assembly.
LENINE RESIGNS. 0
There is also a report from a Swed
ish newspaper that the relations be
tween Premier Lenine and Foreign
Minister Trotzky daily become more
strained.
Germany has refused to accept Rus
sia's attitude concerning the right of
the occupied territories of Poland,
Courland, Lithuania ajid Esthonia to
self-definition along lines advocated
by the Bolsheyiki.
i Will Not Evacuate.
Until a general peace is reached, the
Germans say, they canno evacuate
the territories. The Bolshevik stand
is declared by the Germans to be one
sided and the Russian delegates are
asked to agree to the German view.
Foreign Minister Trotzky's answer is
not yet known.
Bolshevik ultimatum to release Rus
sian troops under arrest, Premier
Lenine has ordered his soldiers to ar
rest King Ferdinand and bring him
to Petrograd. The Bolsheviki are said
to be serious in their intention to im
prison the Roumanian king.
Bolsheviki Victors.
Ukrainian and Bolsheviki troops
have fought bloody battles in Odessa
and near .Polatava, and the Bolsheviki
are said to be destroying railroads
and. bridges to hamper the advance
of the Ukrainian soldiers northward.
The Bolsheviki announce the capture
by their troops of Irkutsk, Siberia, and
Qfrtiburg.
The constituent assembly, con
trolled by parties oonosed to the Bol
sheviki, is to meet today unless theJ
i-vuiiit guvcmniciu again 'intervenes,
should it meet, it is anticipated in
Petrogiad that there wll be disorder
there. Most of the delegates to the
assembly are said to be in Petrograd.
Persistent Advertising Is the Road
to Success.
LENINE SUBMITS
RESIGNATION TO
OBTAIN BACKING
Relations Strained Between
Russ Premier and Foreign
Minister Trotzky; Seeks
Vote of Confidence.
Stockholm, Jan. 17 Relations be
tween Premier Lenine and Foreign
Minister Trotzky are growing strained
daily, the Petrograd correspondent of
the Helsingfors Iluvudstadsbladc's
reports.
Lenine is said to be displeased both
at the way Trotzky continuously oc
cupies the public eye and at his foreign
policy, which Lenine believes is con
trary to the best interests of the Rus
sian revolution.
Trotzky formulates his own foreign
policies without regard to what Len
ine advises and often without sub
mitting questions to the premier.
Friends of Lenine, the correspondent
adds, dec1are that he intends to sub
mit his resignation to the congress of
workmen's and solders' delegates in
order to force a vote of confidence or
lack of confidence.

ITALIANS CHECK
TEUTON ADVANCE
TOWARD VENICE
Heavy Losses Inflicted on Aus
trian When Picked Troops
Force Way to Support
Line.
(By Associated Press.)
Italian Healquarters in Northern
Italy, Thursday, Jan. 17. Italian
troops have, succeeded in breaking the
pressure which the enemy has been
exerting on the lower Piave in the
sector nearest Venice.
This is a triangular sector originally
cleared of the enemy when the whole
region was inundated by opening the
canals. But recently low water has
permitted the enemy to renew his in
cursions almost to Capo Sile and the
Venetian lagoons.
Enemy Controlled Canal.
Enemy patrols had established
dugouts and posts in the lagoons at
Agenzia Zuliana, just across the river
from Capo Sile, which commands the
canal running to Forto Grande and
the region back of Venice.
During the early days of the week
the Italian navy had bombarded the
dugouts and destroyed the bridge on
which the enemy was attempting to
cross at Agenzia Trezza. The enemy
made repealed attempts to enlarge his
position, but was uniformly repulsed.
Austrians Are Checked.
Stung by the repeated checks, the
enemy brought his full force to bear
yesterday morning. They were met
by chosen Italian troops from the
grenadier and bersaglieri brigades.
The Italian defense was led by the
bersaglieri, who had asked that privi
lege in order to answer scurrilous
pamphlets which had been thrown
into the Italian lines.
The bersaglieri hewed their way to
the enemy's support line. The fight
was stubborn for the first two hours,
but the enemy gradually gave ground
as fresh ranks of bersaglieri, cheering
and singing patriotic songs, threw
themselves into the struggle.
Machine Guns Effective.
One of the favorite ruses used by
the enemy was for a party of his
troops to advance with their hands
up, calling "kanierad!" When they
would get close to the Italian lines
they would rush forward suddenly
with hand grenades, only to be mowed
down as they advanced by the Italian
machine gun fire. The fighting
throughout was at close quarters.
Heavy losses were sustained by the
enemy, and the Italians captured 150
prisoners. The battle ground was
covered with Austrian dead and burial
parties were busy throughout the
night disposing of the bodies.
Many individual instances of brav
ery stand out. In one case an Italian
officer and five men leaped into an
Austrian trerich, took two machine
guns, killed all the Austrian gunners
and brought back the guns.
Zeppelin Battle Flag
Given to U. S. Marines
Washington, Jan. 18. The battle
flag of the Zeppelin L-40, brought
down near Bourbontie, France, Octo
ber 17, 1917, has been received at the
headquarters of the marine corps and
sent to the national .museum.
The flag, deep red, bears no dis
tinguishing insignia of any kind. Ac
companying it were small portions of
the outer envelope and of the gas
bag of the Zeppelin.
Steamer Reported Sinking
Arrives Safely in Port
An Atlantic Port, Jan. 18. The
Hawaiian-American line steamship
Texan, which was in a collision at
sea last Monday, arrived here safely
today under its own steam. It be
came known that it was rammed by
a convoying warship, which punched
a large hole in its port side.
German Chancellor Has
Postponed War Speech
London, Jan. 18. According to a
telegram received in London, German
Chancellor Count von Hertling has
again postponed the speech which he
was to have made today in reply to
the definition of war aims by Presi
dent Wilson and Premier Lloyd I
George. !
Socialist Propaganda is !

Washington, Jan. 18. Orders for
bidding all socialist propaganda . in

Switzerland. Socialist newspapers

Bag of Woman
Chicago, Jan. 18. A woman who'
carried 36 sticks of dynamite and an
automatic pistol in a traveling bag
was arrested here today.
She carried also a ticket bought at
Youngstown, O., and a small amount
of money.
GERMANS LONG FOR
PEACE WITH WORLD
Do Not Abuse Their Enemies;
Militarism Restrains Nation
From Making Further
Advances.
London, Jan. 18. The political
situation in Germany and the rela
tions with Russia continue to tie agi
tated in the German press.
An article quoted from German
newspapers received by way of
Switzerland gives an idea of the
trend of feeling.
The Frankfurter Xcilung wains its
readers against undue optimism" in re
gard to the negotiations with the
Russians, whom it accuses of at
tempting to hinder the proceedings
for their own interests.
Demonstrations in Hungary.
The Volkesstemmc of Mannheim,

popular demonstrations against the
German ai.nexationist policy occurred
Serious Rioting
In Austrian Cities
j Londo, Jan. 18. Serious strikes,
accompanied by rioting, have taken
' places in Vienna and other cities
: throughout Austria, according to
i news agency telegrams from Zur-
i ich and other points in Switzerland.
at Budapest and other towns in Hun
! gary and Austria after Chancellor
jvnn Hertling made his statement in
i the Reichstag.
A telegram from Rotterdam says
! that beginning today all railroad
passenger traffic m Oermany is be
ing reduced 60 per cent. Correspond
ents sending the reports say that
there is every reason to believe the
transfer of troops to the western
front is the real reason, adding that
it is reported these troops are to be
moved suddenly for concentrated of
fensive. Germans Want Peace.
The shortage of coal in Berlin is
another source of trouble. After
enumerating the difficulties, the
Timcs'j correspondent writes:
"Nothing but the iron grip of
Prussian militarism restrains the na
tion from making more pronounced
advances to its adversaries than anU.
which have yet ben made. . '
The Germans are longing Jo
peace, but they want peace with vi
tory. They no longer abuse their;
enemies as in the early days of thflf
war. i
Doubtless the shortage of supplies'
has much to do with' the change of
mental attitude. 'The proudness lot
the flesh has given way before the
discipline of fasting. This account
for very much in recent develop
ments of German policy."
English Are Seeking
Compromise With Irish
London, Jan. 18. The fact that the
Irish convention has adjourned until
next Tuesday instead of closing this
week as reported, is understood to
mean, according to the Daily News,
that the government in the mean
time will ascertain whether a com
promise is possible on the point at
issue.
It is reported from Dublin that Pre
mier Lloyd George has taken step
to inform himself personally of the
attitude of the Ulster council toward a
settlement.
