a bill establishing universal equal and
direct suffrage In the communal elec-

Fourth—Annulling of the measures

Negotiations are said to have taken
place between Von Seidler, president
of the ministry and other ministers
and workers delegates under the
leadership of socialist deputies.
Vun Seidler in a long statement
declared that the government would
do its utmost to obtain a general
peace and that it did not wish for an
increase of territory at the expense
of Russia.
Regarding Poland he asserted that
Austria-Hungary would regard It as
nn independent state and that it did
not wish to dictate Its constitutional
form or to impose forced relations
in case she could decide her own fate
by a popular vote.
Rigid Censorship On.
Amsterdam, Jan. 21.— A Vienna dis-
patch under Saturday's date received
here reads:
"No newspapers appeared today the
only issue being a sheet published by
the Arbleter Zeltung, vhich contained
nothing but announcements regarding
the strike, and peace development.
"At the head of the announcement
was one by the directing board of
the. tie rman socialist democracy 01
Austria making an appeal to the
workers of both sexes. The board,
said the appeal had taken cognizance
with satisfaction of the declarations
regarding peace by Count f'zernir..
(Austro-Hungarian foreign minister)
and resigned their firmness. Th*
hoard, however held it (t> lie neces-
sary that labor be enlightened con-
cerning the government's attitude
upon the concrete questions which
are the subject of tin negotiations
at Brest-Utovsk.
"This demand and other demands
ot labor were, today the subject of
negotiations with the government.
The food minister received a large
deputation of strikers, the appeal re-
cites and reported to them on the
food situation. The delegates had an
opportunity frank'y to enlighten the
ministers concerning the views of labor
and particularly to leave them in no
doubt that the demand for peace
took precedence of ail other demands.
"Later Saturday evening the appeal
continues, the district executives of
all the Vienna districts met to receive
the report on the negotiations with
the government. The assemblage re-
solved to demand the abolition of
provisions of the war service law re-
lating to the rights of workers and
requested the organisation of dem-
ocratic deputies to continue efforts
Dorti need much milk

to obtain Justice for the victims of
unusual conditions. It was decided
that ruilway and street car services
were to be maintained undisturbed
and that work was to lie resumed in
all tho industries engaged in the
manufacture of foodstuffs and wines
and in gas and electric plants. The
appeal concludes:
" 'Iiabor has maintained exemplary
discipline in these exciting days. The
party board expects It will calmly
await the result of the negotiations
with the government, trusting its
representatives.' "
The War Review.
In Hungary the people are endeav-
oring to ascertain what are the pros-
pects for a cessation of hostilities and
a return to normal life. So insistent
has been their effort in this direction
that the Hungarian premier has been
forced to announce in the lower house
■of parliament that the government ad-
hered to tho principle of peace with-
out annexations or indemnities—that
even the king shared In this view.
The premier, however, added that the
question of Alsace-Lorraine should not
at the present time enter into the
situation as it was not calculated to
strengthen the government's position.
The censorship has entirely closed
down with regard to the internal situ-
ation in Germany although one of tho
llerlin newspapers is quoted as de-
claring that the oft postponed speech
of the imperial chancellor to the main
committee of tho reiehstag will Tie de-
livered next Thursday. The debute
following tho speech of the chancellor
Is expected to extend over three days.
Unofficial advices from Copenhagen
are to tho effect that Leon Trotzky,
the Bolshevik foreign minister has as-
serted that although he has departed
for I'etrograd the peace negotiations
at Hrest-IJtovsk would continue dur-
ing his absence.
Trotsky Is reported to have In-
formed the chief German delegate at
Ilrest-Litov.sk that his return to
I'etrograd was merely for the purpose
ot reporting to the congress of work-
men/* and soldiers' deputies.

fective measures of reorganization had
been thoughtfully and maturely per-
fected and inasmuch as these meas-
ures l.avo been the result of ex-
perience they are much more likely
than any other to be effective, if the
congress will but remove the few
statutory obstacles of rigid depart-
mental organization which stands hi
their way.
" 'The legislative proposal* I have
heard of would Involve long addition-
al delays and torn our experience into

constant conference with the secretary

soon learn whether he or his critics
understand the business in hand.
" 'To add, as Senator Chamberlain
did, that there is inefficiency in every
department and bureau of the gov-
ernment is to show such ignorance
of actual conditions as to make it
impossible to attach any importance
to his statement. I am bound to

Senator Chamberlain said: "In my
New York speech I had not prepared
the address and spoke twenty minutes
extemporaneously without notes. 1
pointed out that from Bunker Hill to
the present time we had had no mili-
tary organization or policy. The press
report of ray address was correct. But
my argument was directed to the mil-
itary establishment and not to other
departments of the government, al-
though it was broad enough to be sub-
ject to that interpretation. But those
hearing it knew I referred merely to
the military establishment and that
the senate military committee had
undertaken through the bills for a
war cabinet and a director of
munitions to work ont changes in the
establishment.
"I explained that these bills were
not administration measures. I did
not misrepresent them.

his organization have my utmost ap-

Amsterdam, Jan. 21.—In the low-

Saturday Dr. Franz Meliring, inde-
pendent socialist made tho following
inquiry:
"if Canada with less than $.000.-
000 inhabitants has been able tq
throw a quarter of a million soldiers
into Europe, who were not able to
fly or swim, what grounds has the
finance minister for denying to the
United States with 110,000,000 in-
habitants any military capacity?"
Dr. Mehring proceeded to re-
prove the Prussian finance minister.
Dr. Hertz, for such contempt which
he declared was likely to bring heavy
penalties in Its train, especially if
coupled with empty threats.

that he was unable to prove his state-
ment concerning the American army

R. D. M., writing (rom Kd mo ml,
Okla., gives the Weekly Star the fol-
lowing as a war pie recipe:
I am going to tell your readers a
new way to use tho dry bread. 1
call it "war pie." It is original and
not patented. Take the dry bread,
no matter how old. if it has been kept
dry, and cover it with cold water.
When thoroughly soaked, drnln off
the water and with a spoon mix the
bread well. Then grease a pie pan
well with butter and with tho hand
squeeze the bread dry and place a
layer in the pan and up the sides,
patting it dow» and have It just thick
enough to hide the pan. Then put in
a pint of chopped apples anj over
them not quite enough sugar to
sweeten them, some butter and cin-
namon. Then a top layer of the bread.
Smooth it over nicely with a knife,
put on some soft butter and push the
bread in off tho flange of the pan.
Sprinkle sugar evenly all over the top.
add a dash of cinnamon and hake till
well done with a slow fire. The sugar
should melt and bake a light brown.
If done properly will look good and
can be cut and lifted from tho pan In
pieces. Served warm with cream Is
most delicious and less - Indigestible
than hard pie crust. Cold biscuits
may also be used and all kinds of
fruits. If canned fruits were used the
juice would need to be thickened first.
Try thia once and your only trouble
in future will be that stale bread doe*
tut enough.

Washington, Jan. 21.—The (allies
are maintaining an expectant attitude
on the western front, Secretary Baker
stated today in his weekly war review,
while recent events in Russia have
greatly increased strategic freedom of
the central empires.
1 The review is for the week ending
'January 19. It says:
"There is little to record in the
way of military activity during the
past we ek. On the western front the
allies are maintaining an expectant
attitude.
"While the enemy has been busy
concentrating his offensive forces, the
British and French have greatly
strengthened their defensive posi-
tions, reorganizing of their tactical ar-
rangements which in many instances
are as they were hitherto, chiefly of
an offensive character and are now
prepared for every eventuality.
"The recent events in Russia, which
have removed from the theatre of ac-
tive operations over 900 miles of front
in the east, the invasion of Italy and
the consequent shortening of the battle
line in this zone by nearly 150 miles
have resulted in greatly Increased
strategic freedom for the central em-
pires.
"Itevicttdng Ihe minor operations
which took place during the period
under examination it is noticeable
that ascendant initiative and alertness
is again displayed by the allies.
"We find the British and French ac-
tively raiding the German lines, driv-
ing in outposts and patrols.
"Along the British fronts ihe enemy
for the first time in many weeks
maintained a relative passive attitude.
The British sent out numerous raid-
ing parties.
in th<> Italian theatre the success of
the preceding week has been enlarged
