All Agreements With Former Allies Thrown Away, Bolshevik Foreign Minister Says. London, Feb. 16.—Russia’s with- om the war was a real with- ind the throwing away of all reements with her former allies, said Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik for- 4 minister, in reporting to the All- Workmen’s and Soldiers’ on the result of the Brest- Litovsk conference, a Russian wire- ess dispatch received here says. The councils approved his policy. Fol- owing is the text of the message: M. Trotzky yesterday reported the All-Russian Central Ex- ecutive committee of the councils the results of the Brest-Litovsk negotiations. All parties, includ- ing the opposition groups, recog- nized that the decision taken by the commissioners was the only correct and dignified outcome of the newly-created international situation. The question of the possibility of a German offensive against ussia was discussed. Nearly all present were of the opinion that it was very improbable, but ut- tered warnings against unlimited optimism in this direction, be- cause the extreme annexationist groups in Germany might force the government to a new offen- sive. Al the speakers expressed confidence that the masses of the peoples of Germany and Austria- Hungary would not permit new bloodshed on the Russian front, for such an offensive would have the character of an open raid for plunder M. Trotzky completed his re- port with the statement that Russia was withdrawing from the war not only in appearance, but in reality, was throwing away all agreements with her former lies, and, as regards the war prosress, was reserving for self complete freedom with re- spect to both sides in her revolu- tionary policy.

These estimates were given out, it was stated, to show that there is plenty of available labor for carry ing out the government’s shipbuild- ing program if higher wages werd paid. The government has rejected a proposition by the carpenters’ broth- erhood that the ship workers be ale lowed to place a representative on the labor adjustment board of tha Emergency Fleet Corporation to set- tle the present wage controversy, it was announced by Mr. Guerin. The ! ship workers wanted to appoint such a representative with the right to veto and power equal to those held by govarnment representatives.

Washington, Feb. 16.—The effect of the shipping board’s second appeal to striking carpeniers in eastern ship- yards to return to work pending settlement of their grievances by the wage adjustment board was anxiously awaited here today. The board’s re- newed request was made by Chair- man Hurley last night in a telegram to William L. Hutcheson, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpen- ters and Joiners, virtually demanding that he send the striking shipbuild- ing employves back to their jobs. Early in the day Hutcheson had re- fused a previous appeal with a com- munication declaring it would be im- possible to act until he had some definite proposition from the shipping board as to working conditions. What steps the government, if the situation does not improve, will take has not been decided. Reports yesterday that local ex- | emption boards were prepared to call military service striking work- ers of draft age prompted the ship- ring board to urge that no such ac- taken.

After he had known for a short time the her he needed $10,000. some oil stock, that is, he said he did—and offered the shares as security for the loan. Miss Mayher said she would advance the money. The “Marquis” thanked her from the bot- tom of his heart, and then he did a generous thing- He said that, while he had every reason to consider the oil stock as gilt-edge security, he was nevertheless afraid that something might happen to cause it to depre- ciate, and in order to hetter protect her he fnsisted on pledging as addi tional security the ‘ancestral heir- looms of the house Castillot.” LEAVES LIGHTING €O, chester of Alfonso. ths ago when walked regis- mem- man and 1 aroy not those a subje not He novel Am s, ited Madrid personally ad- adopted. it wa losing of the | nd they scheme s of me 1 when erican ex- he a he came friends” plained ) some tele- nd.” THe claimed the French Am- lost to f Miss Ma Mayher juis” told He owned 1 Bartow, Commercial Manager, to Enter Y.
