'Peace for the People “What was secured at Brest-Litovsk was peace for the people, and the Aus- tro-Hungarian peoples would never have understood if we had rejected this peace, or rejected the possibility of obtaining wheat merely in order that.Cholm in its entirety and uncon- ditionally should fall to Poland. What would the empire's reply have been if the foreign minister had returned and admitted that he had spoiled the to the Ukrainian population of Cho&m the same right to be heard as is pos- sessed by the Polish part?” Quotes Wilson Dr. Von Seydler here quoted Presi- dent Wilson’s phrase that peoples and Provinces must not be transfererd from one state of authority to another merely as pawns in a game, and con- tinued: “Had we acted as the gentlemen of the Polish club demand, we should not only. have failed to conclude peace with. Ukraine, but should have severed the delicate threads which may per- haps lead to a general peace, and the voices raised in defense of such a pol- icy would have been drowned under a) Yaging hurricane of indignation from) all the Austrian races. “In view of these various considera- | tions; I must also emphatically reject | certain insinuations which have been} made concerning the relations be-) tween Austria-Hungary and Germany.” The premier’s speech was received throughout with unusual demonstra- tion of approval, except from the Poles, who, however, remained calm, | though showing occasional signs of} dissent. | RAIL BILL MAY COME UP TODAY Another Session of Senate Given ~ Over to Measure Advances It to Final Passage Locomotives in Roundhouses W.

HOG ISLAND QUIZ BEGUN Representative of Attorney. Gen- eral Inspects Record of Fleet Corporation Washington, D. C., Feb, 91.—Prelim- inary steps in the department of jus- tice inquiry into expenditures of gov- ernment funds for the shipbuilding plant at Hog Island, Pa.. were taken yesterday by Carroll Todd, assistant to the attorney general, when he inspect- ed records of the Emergency Fleet cor- poration -relating to contracts with the American International corpora- tion for constructing. the plant, and conferred with Chairman Fletcher of the senate commerce commission. Probably ‘the first phase of the de- partment’s inquiry to determine whether any crimnal or civil offense is involved, Mr. Todd explained, will be the study of information already secured by the committee. Independ- ent and more detailed inquiry will fol- | low, Witnesses Before Senate Witnesses before the senate com- jmittee yesterday included Rube Allyn, a dock builder representing unorganiz- ed workers at Hog Island, and Albert Freedman, formerly employed in the stores department of the yard. Allyn predicted that it would be necessary to conscript labor before the war end- ed, and told the committee German speaking laborers were responsible for false stories of accidents at the Hog Island yard designed to keep work- men away. Freedman, who said he was dis- charged when he told his superintend- ent he was going to Washington to give voluntary testimony before the senate committee, described alleged inefficiency and lax methods at the yard. He declared that buttons for admission of workmen to the yards were sold in Philadelphia saloons. The committee took the name of the superintendent who discharged Freedman and indicated ‘that he would be called to testify. IN BANANA BELT Northwest Only Region Favored by Good Weather St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 20.—While the east and even the south have been suffering from winter conditions al- most unparalelled, the Northwest’s weather has been vindicated. Not a serious storm, not a heavy snowfall at any time during the winter has visited this section the proverbial “Dakota blizzard,” better known in fable than in history anyway, has had a fling over the central and eastern parts of the country its fringes reach- ing as far toward the equator as Mi- ami, Florida, but has apparently ab-; andoned the home tradition made for it. Weather bureau figures, to be sure, indicate that the temperatures in most the Northwest this winter have! been under the normal, with a great- | er number of cold days in November and January than usual. But the cold has been steady, few days was there a strong bitter wind. The snowfall has been under the normal, too, and far below the records of last year. It is said that. more snow fell in the territory south of Minnesota than did in the Northwest.

He refer- red especially to the advantages which the Teutonic allies would derive dur- ing the present year from the econom- ic treaty with the Ukraine, and rec- ommended the approval of the com- pact, Speaking on the first reading of the Ukraine treaty, Dr. Von Kuehlman said the Ukraine people's republic was a young state, reared on the ground of the former Russian empire after the decaying edifice of the Tsar’s empire, which shared the principal guilt for under the blow of the German armies. The Ukrainian race was one of the strongest elements of the Russian em Dire. In respect to its minerals, coal and also possessed elements of its own industry. Bolsheviks Showed Bad Faith The great Russian vepresentatives of the Bolsheviki, the foreign secre tary continued,. maintained friendly relations with the Ukraine so long as Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki foreigr minister, could assume that the peo ple’s republic of the Ukraine would primarily direct their policies accord | ing to the interest of the Petrograd cabinet. When, however, the Ukraini- ans realized that the Petrograd cabi. net.was not pursuing a sincere peace policy, the representatives of the Ukraine adopted the standpoint of ending the war by peace; they would in no-wise be responsible for the sins of ezarism, “The negotiations were not quite as easy as in most cases with such young peoples,” said Dr. Von Kuehlmann. “National Ideals Exuberant” “National ideals and desires were not free from the exuberance of their representatives. They made territor. ial demands which were hardly capa- ble of realization. The demarkation of the frontier with Russia had to be left for a later period—after*discus- sions with the Russian government then in power. The only thing that concerned us was to lay down to western frontiers of the new state, in which demarkation of the frontier as regards Poland received the most at- tention and experienced the liveliest criticism from the Poles.” Dr. Von Kuehlmann said that with out being too sanguine he believed the country hailed peace with the Ukraine with relief and joy “as the first step toward restoration of a general peace which we all hope to attain within measurable time.” A Wonderiul Remedy for Kidneys, Bladder, Uric Acid.
