SES TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1918. ISMARCK EVENING TRIBUNE. GZERNIN’S. PEACE PROPOSALS FAIL 10 COME ACROSS Announcement - that Austrian’s Speech Had Been Advanced to Wilson Fiction { | | i PRESIDENT SEES EXTRACTS | Colonel House at White House Says He is Not to Return to France Scot Washington, Jan. 29.—The state- ment was authorized at the White House Monday that President Wilson has not received 2 copy of-Count ( nin’s speech outlining Austro-Hungar- ian peace conditions and has seen only the cabled extracts of the address. In spite of the interest aroused in official | and diplomatic circles by the an-| nouncement of a German paper that | Czernin had informed Austrian dele- gations Saturday that his speech had been communicated to President Wil- son in advance of delivery, there was a general disposition to believe that; the announcement like the address it- self was for home consumption. None of the neutral agencies through which a comntunication would be transmitted had any inforimation.regarding it. ‘House Sees Wilson. Colonel E. M. House was a caller at the White House during the day and it was learned that he arrived last night for a conference with the Pres- ident. His presence gave rise to spec- ulation as to discussions of peace pros- pects particularly in view of reports that the Colenel might soon go abroad again. On leaving the White House, however, Colonel House said while he could not talk about his conference, he would, state there was no truth whatever in rumors that he was going to Europe. again shortly. i Pan-Germanists Strong | There is but one officigl view here of Count Czernin’s action in saying } his speech had been sent to the presi- | dent of the United States regardless | whethr such a thing actually had been! done. Reports to the state department | told today of the breakingup of Pan-| German meetings by Socialists who | are tired of war, while other dispatch- | es indicated that the Pan-Germans are | sufficiently powerful to prevent the| German government from making any | concessions from their extreme de-} mands at Brest-Litovsk and elsewhere. So, in the official review here, the only | feasible manner in which the German | Socialists could be appeased is by the indirect means of a pacifist statement ; on war aims by the Austrian govern- | ment and this is believed to be the ex- | planation of Count Czernin’s address and the talk of conveying it directly | to America. . | GERMAN NEWSPAPERS BITTER Denunciation of \Count Czernin Arouses Protest. | Washington, Jan. 29.—Count Czer-| nin’s speech on Austrian war aims and the statement that it was sent in ad- vance to President Wilson has arous- ed the German newspapers and the papers are bitter in their denunciation of the Austrian foreign minister. It is; declared the Count’s action means a break in the German-Austrian alliance and one Pan-German newspaper has been suppressed for suggesting that Germany abandon her foremost ally. | FINN REVOLUTION Red Guard Gets Out of Creator's Hands. Stockholm, Jan. 29.—The long threatened revolution iri Finland has! begun in the eastern provinces, ac: | cording to sparse reports reaching | Haparadna. The Red Guard is re. | ported to have oceupied the railway’ station at Helsingfors, all the foreign | consuls have left the capital and sharp | fighting is reported around and in Vi- borg. The Red Guard is holding Rikimaki | and other important junctions, Rus-! sian soldiers are aiding the reds, and reinforcements are coming from Pet- rograd. i The Finnish minister in Petrograd has protested to the Workmens and) Soldiers delegates against Russian in- terference in Finnish affairs. He re- ceived a reply that “Russia's govern- | ment, true to its principles, is in duty | pound to suport the proiterairat in | Finland in its battle against Finnish | Bourgeois.” The Bolsheviki commis- | sion further declared that. help had | been seht to the Reds and that still) more troops would be sent to them. | The forces of law and order in Hel-; singfors, the city is commanded by the | guns of Russian warships, which are jn the hands of Bolsheviki sailors. | The commandant of the fleet summon- ed the city’s authorities including | President Svinhufvud and the socialis Jeaders to his ship Saturday and de-| manded that the government White guard be immediately disbanded. He | threatened to level the city to the ground if the order was disobeyed. M. Svinhutvud replied that the demand could not be complied with. The Helsingfors Bolsheviki organ, | Jzvestia, admits that the Red guard has got out of the hands of its creat- ors. It reports that troops at various places are beyond control and that they have been guilty of murdering “and plundering. The newspaper adds | that anarchists conditions are prevail- | ing. The Finnish government has sent to all the powers that have acknowledged Finland’s independence a protest against Russian interference in Finn- } ish affairs. 5 Telegraphic communications with | Petrograd is broken.
