Amsterdam, Nor. 14 Austrian
newspapers print a statement from
the official news agency, pointing out
that neither Vienna nor Berlin has
received an actual peace or armistice
proposal from the Russian govern
ment, and as long as the hew rulers
of Russia do not submit proposals the
Central powers can do nothing in the
matter, according to a dispatch from
Vienna. i
Should the. maximalists retain the
upper hand In Russia and come for
ward with a peace offer the Auatro
Hungarian , government would, the
statement says. Immediately establish
accord with its allies and fix a. com
mon attitude. . "
. "The workmen's and soldiers pro
gram," the statement continues, -is
capable of forming a point of depar
ture for serious peace discussions with
Russia. A Just peace without an
nexations and without indemnities is
also the goal of the Austro-Huhgarlan
government. But what we under
stand by annexations and what every -
.one has understood about it up to tha
present does not correspond with the
Interpretation of the present Russian
government on this point. , Counter
proposals would have to Be made on
our part."
A temporary cessation of hostilities
between Russia and the Central pow
ers, Germanla says, would bring peace
nearer.' , It adds that Germany and
Austria-Hungary , , would - promptly
agree to a limited armistice proposed
and that Russia's, allies could not es
cape the effects of such a step.
The German Independent socialists.
according to the Tageblatt of Berlin,
publish In the .VoTks Zeitung of Leip
zig a manifesto caning upon the so
cialist proletariat in Germany to re-
spona to tne Russian peace oner as
made by the maximalist government in
JPetrograd. .The manifesto suggests
that meetings be held everywhere in
favor of a general armistice f or the
purpose of obtaining a peace without
annexations. '
Berlin, Nov. 13, via Iondon, Nor. 14.
me iserun press generallv gives a
friendly' reception to the peace man
ifesto of the Russian maximalists.
vorwaerts, the socialist , organ, arid
Germanla, the Catholic organ, both
raise the question as to whether the
bolsheviki will retain the power In
-Russia. . s '
The -question, as to whether the bel
ligerents are ready for a three-month
armistice for the purpose of discuss-"
Ing peace, ' Vorwaerts says, can only
be answered iby the German govern
ment affirmatively, declaring at the
same time that It .does not Intend to
annex : or consent . to annexation at
Germany's cost. Whatever Germany
has to say concerning annexations,' it
adds, . is contained In the . relchstag
resolution of July 19 and In the Ger
man reply , to the pope. Vorwaerts
continues: '.. ;-'.-; '
"German socialists do not accept all
the' theories 'of , the bolsheviki, but
recognize them as socialists and com
rades. . .Therefore we gladly record
tha .bolsheviki offer as worthy of so
cialism most promising." , .

Amsterdam, Nov. 14 Aroused ap

the Bulgarians cannot permit them
selves to be troubled by the declara
tions of Russian illusionists or the
Dutch-Scandinavian committee. It

RAILROAD MEN'

FOR MORE PAY
Washington, Nov, 1 4 Arrange
ments have been made for the chiefs
of the four railroad brotherhoods to
see President Wilson on Monday, Nov.

ductors and brakemen on all the rail

consider the arbitration features of an
agreement proposed in Cleveland
Thursday by Judge Chambers. ' It is
