“Yes but I never advised letting

KAISEK CALLS CONFERENCE.
Widespread Dissatisfaction in Ger-
many Over Peace Demands.
LONDON Jan. 3. —The situation
created by the hitch in the Brcst-
Lituvsk negotiations dispatches
from Amsterdam reflecting news
from Berlin show Jias aroused the
actisities ot the rulers and politicians
of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
Emperor William yesterday re-
ceived in joint audience Chancellor
von Bertling Field Marshal von
Hindenburg General von Luden-
dorff Finance Minister von Roed-
ern and Foreign Secretary von
Kuchlmunn.
The foreign affairs committee of
the German Bundesrat under the
presidency of Count von Dund! dis-
cussed the Russian situation at the
chancellor's palace. Chancellor von
Bertling had a long conversation
with Admiral von Tirpitz the form-
er minister of marine and Emperor
Charles received in audience Pro-
fessor Kucharzevski the Polish pre-
mier.
Leaders Suddenly Summoned.
Foreign Secretary von Kuchlmann's
return to Brest-Litovsk after a hur-
ried visit to Berlin is said to have
created surprise as did his confer-
ence with Reichstag leaders who
were summoned suddenly.
Leaders of all parties were present
at the cpnfcrence according to in-
formation in Amsterdam and they
informed Dr. von Kuehlmann that
they adhered strongly to the demand
that the Reichstag be summoned as
speedily as possible. It is expected
that the demand will be discusseu
at today’s session of the Reichstag
main committee which Chancellor
von Bertling will attend.
Th? feature of the conference Is
said to have been the outspoken
speeches of Phillip Scheideniann
and Frederick Ebert for the official
Socialists and Hugo Baase for the
Independent Socialists. They arc
credited with having told Von Kuehl-
mann that his attitude in the Rus-
sian negotiations prejudicial to
peace. They told him that to say
one day that Germany wanted no
Russian territory and say the next
day that it wanted virtually all ter-
ritory occupied by German troops
justified entente statesmen in de-
clining to place confidence in the
word of Germany’s leaders. The*
foreign secretary is said however to
have made "complete explanations.”
Socialist Paper Is Bitter.
It is reported that both Von
Kuehlmann and Count Czernin the
Austro-Hungaria? foreign secretary
returned to Brest-Litovsk where
they were expected to arrive yester-
day with new instructions. The
Leipsig Volks Zeitung the leading
Independent Socialist newspaper
commening on the.Brest-Litovsk sit-
uation and the activities of Von
Kuehlmann and the government
says:
"Germar y now reveals her eastern
peace aims. Everybody in Germany.
Russia and entente countries row
knows Ihat she is not aiming at a
just peace without annexations and
indemnities such as Von Kuehlmann
depicted but at a peace providing
for an enormous increase in Ger-
many’s military political and econo-
mic strength. * • •
“These intentions must strengthen
the war will of the entente. Ger-
many intends really to annex all the
territories she now holds. Ber ex-
use that the populations of these
terrirtories have declared their will-
ingness to be severed from Russia is
untrue. Individuals may have done
so. but they always have been irre-
sponsible acting on some German
suggestion.”

Russians Distribute Pamphlet^ Call-
ing German Promises I.io.
PETROGRAD Wednesday. Jan. 2.
—The Izvesta today gives the text of
a pamphlet which the Bolsheviki
ire circulating in the German lines
in which it is declared that the peace
conditions submitted by the central
powers show the Austro-German
promises of a democratic peace to
be “unconscionable lies.”
After describing the actions of the
Germans in Poland and Lithunla in
recruiting forced labor and shoot-
ing hunger strikers the pamphlet
continues:
’’The German government only
found support in Couriand from the
hated slave owners the German bar-
ons who have their protoypes in the
Polish landowners.”
The document declares Germany
desires to free the peoples on Rus-
sia's western frontier from the scope
of the Ruwian revolution in order
tc subjugate them with German cap-
ital. impose aji Austrian monarchy!
on Poland and make Lithuania and >
Couriand German duchies. It con.-
eludes:
“On such a basis the Russian
workman's government can never en-
ter negotiations."

Associated Charities Is Un-
able to Give Necessary
Assistance.
SCORES OF LIKE CASES
Contributors Are Helping to
Give Relief to All Who
Are in Need.
To separate a mother from her
child is generally a proceeding
carrying unfortunate circumstances
to both mother and child. At least
such ‘is the opinion of the Asso-
ciated Charities but not having the
funds to give these mothers the
small assistance they sometimes
need to enhble them to keep the
child the mother and child are
separated the child being placed
in the orphans’ home or adopted
into another family and the mother
left to wonder dully at the hard-
ness of fate.
One of Hundreds.
Such a proposition one of hun-
dreds that have had to be met
was presented to the Associated
Charities Thursday morning. The
mother has a ten-year old child.
The grandmother has been keeping
the child while the mother did
house work but the grandmother
for lack of money has had to break
up her home and go tu live with
one of her children and the child
was sent to the mother for care.
The people where the woman work-
ed w’ere unwilling to have the child
and the woman has so far been un-
able to find work where the child
will be allowed to stay or that
pays her eno.ugh to permit her tu
board the child. They have come
to the end of their resources and
have appealed to the Associated
Charities. Though they have been
living on a sleeping porch they are
to be turned out of that Friday.
“We will probably have to try
to find a home for the child and
sometimes that means permanent
separation from the mother” said
Mrs. Leary secretary. "Any wom-
an who loves her own children
will rightly consider such a thing
a heart-breaking outrage. But the
Associated Charities docs not have
enough to give these mothers the
assistance they need and the moth-
ers pension law in the state is
couched in such a way as tu make
it positively useless.”
