RUSS DEFECTION ASSISTS GERMAN Negotiations with Bolsheviki Aid Long Conceived Pians of Prussia. “MITTEL EUROPA” EXTENSION Control of Bagdad Railway and Trade Expansion Toward the Far East. Boston, Dec. 26.—Secretary of War Baker, is right in stating that the German, peace maneuvers should not for a moment induce tne United States to slacken preparations for war, in the opinion of H. Charles Woods, fellow, of the Royal Gcograph- ical society, and a recognized author- ity on mililary in in England who now is in this ¢! Mr. Woods today. pointed out that the exit of Russia from the war would remove one of the great obstacles. in the way of the realization of the de- sire of Emperor William and his. advis ers for dominion from Hamburg tc the Persian gulf, an area in. which they could maintain their position without sca, power. “If any proot were wanted,” he continued, “that the Germans, in negotiating peace with Russia, have in view their future suc cess in the cast, it would be in the personalities of the Germaa and Tur ish delegates. An Avowed “Easterner.” “von Kuehlmann, whom [ new when he was counselor of the Ger- man embassy in London until the out- break.of the war, is himself.an avow ed ‘easterner.” At that time. bis one aim and object. was to }rins about an agreement betweer England, on the one side, and Germany and Tur key, on the other, favorable to the lat ter two countries in regard to the Lag dad railway. “In this he nearly succeefled, for he lost no, opportunity of, making propa ganda of the most subtle kind with politicians and journalists, British and foreign. Indeed, it was nearly impos sible to persuade him to speak upon any other. subject “Thus, if there be a man in Ger- many who would be willing to make sacrifices in the west or even upon questions of gencral importance to Russia,, in. order, to secure the cooper- ation of, or a free hand from, that country.in the Balkans and in Asia Minor, it is Von Kuehlmann, the Ger- man foreign minister Follows German Orders. “The personalities of the Austrian and Hungarian delegates are, in my opinion of no al importance for the representati of the dual mon- archy will have to w the orders of Germany, and Luigaria has no di rectly outstanding questions with Rus- sia. It is, howey interesting to note that the Bu ian delegates are none of them men of outstanding reputations at home or abroad. “This can be no accident. It is due either to the fact of Tsar Ferdinand’s considering he has no interests, oth. er than the retention of Macedonia, upon which he would accept no decis- jon except one forced upon him on the field of battle, or to the fact that the ‘fox of the Balkans’ wishes, later on, to be able to say that he never treated this conference seriously, and, therefore, to be free to accent any policy which may then seem advis- able to him. ‘Coming to Turkey. “Coming to Turkey, the personali- ties of the delegates is again most significant, for Germany cannot ig- nore the present and future attitudes of that country and at the same time realize her “mittel Europa’ scheme Nessing Pasha must be either Osman Nizami Pasha, formerly Ottoman am- bassador in Berlin, and a delegate at the London peace conference after the first Balkan War, or ‘Nezim Pasha, who is a prominent diplomatist and a member of the committee of union and progress. In either case he is an influential person. : “But the Turkish delega‘e of out standing importance is Hakki Pasha He has been grand vizier and ambas sador in various countries and is one ot the most. pro-German of the Turks. The Bagdad Railway. “Moreover, when Germany and Rus: sia had come to.an agreement as to the Bagdad - railway, as a. result of the meeting between the Kaiser and the tsar, at Potsdam in 1910, it was Hakki Pasha who, after the conclu- ston of the Tripoli and-Balkan wars, was sent to London by Turkey, in agreement with Germany, to try to bring about agreements between the Tritish foreign office, the German em bassy, that is von Kuealmann, and the Turkish embassy, in regard to the Bagdad-Persian gulf section of the railway and other important matters connected with that region.

Washington, Dec. 26.—Evidence has been uncovered indicating that Amer- ican Industrial workers of the World, Russian Bolsheviki, Irish agitators and revoltionists in the various coun- seeking to lay the foundation of-an elaborate world-wide plan to over- throw existing social orders. This was admitted today by offi- cials here iy connection with news of the: discovery of a quantity of rifles, revolvers and ammunition in the Rus- sian freighter Shilka, which has just arrived at a Pacific port manned by a munition Bolsheviki crew.

Certain Irish agitators and I. W.

German Socialists Refused Privilege to Meet Russians. Petrograd, ‘Monday, Dec. 26.—En- sign Krylenko, commander in chief of the army, reported to the: Bolsheviki headquarters Sunday that the Ger mans were transferring troops in very arge numbers and as quickly as pos sible to the western front against the allies and also to the southwestern Russian front.
