London. Germany's new war
against Russia apparently is not popular
with the German or Austrian
people, according to comment in the
press of the two countries.
When the Brest-Litov.sk negotiations
closed, all talk in Germany was
of peace. The school children wer*?
given a holiday and joy bells were
rung. The public apparently did no*
discriminate between peace with the
Ukraine and with Great Russia, but
acclaimed it as a general peace wit >
Tl _
IIUKHIU.
George Bemhard, in The Vossisoho
Zeitung, emphasizes this point and
wants explanation of who was responsible
for this disappointment.
The socialist Vorwaerts takes the
same line and says:
"The more we meddle in Russian
affairs, the more we get away from
peace. What must bo done is to
{stick to the defense of our own soil
and to make peace wherever possible
without annexation or forcible amputations."
v
i Alarm in Austria.

A large section of opinion in Austria-Hungary
also is alarmed over
the prospect of a renewal of war
with Russia.

against Russia.
The Neuc Fn'e Presse and The
Reichspost argue that as AustriaHungary
no longer has any enemies
on her caste 111 frontiers, she is not
called upon to interfere in Russia's
internal affairs. The Arbeiter Zeitung,
Vienna's leading socialist newrpaper,
insists emphatically that Austria-Hungary
must not take part in a
new offensive. It thinks that the invasion
of a totally defenseless country
will gain the German government
ittlc support among the German
workers, who, although they entered
the war against Czardom with enthusiasm,
will not endorse its continuance
for the purpose of overthrowing
the labor government in Petrograd.
"Austria-Hungary," it adds, "can- '
not hinder the plans of the German ,
imperialists, out it cannot and dare
not join Germany in a new war on
Russia. This appears also to be the
view of the Emperor and the government,
but the people demand from
Count Czernin, the foreign secretary,
absolute assurance that Austria-Hungary
regards her war with Russia '
as ended."

DISLOYAL CAPTAIN

New York. Capt. David A. Menkes,
Sixteenth Infantry, U. S. A., has
been sentenced to dismissal from the
service and confinement at hard labor
for 25 years by a general court held
at Governor's Island.
Menkes, who is of Genu an descent,
endeavored to resign his commission,
saying he did not care to fight
against relatives and friends.

wrote to the secretary of war urging
him to accept the resignation, which
he ha<l already submitted and giving
reasons which, lie declared, would no
longer allow him to serve as an officer
of the American army.
"Further service as a commissioned
officer must sooner or later take me
to Europe and there bring me in conflict
with my relatives and friends,
although for the time being my legal
enemies," Captain Hcnkes wrote. "My

"I can not force myself to the conviction
that I am capable of making

in a manner that would beepme my
duty and station. I earnestly reque -it
uiat l may not bo required to undergo
this ordeal. I seriously doubt my
ability to withstand it, and woitid

the probable consequences.
Captain Henkes soon after he had
submitted his resignation was orderid
to France with the American ex
peditionary forces, and fgom ther",
on June 29, 1917, wrote the adjutant
general in Washington calling attention
to his resignation and declared
his battalion commander, the department
quartermaster and the command ,
ing officer of the southern department
had approved his action.
Again on October 10, while still on
duty in France, Captain Henkes
svrote to the adjutant general urging
acceptance of his resignation. "The
underlying facts are unutterable," he
declared.
Captain Henkes was then ordered
to this country and summoned before
a general courtmartial at Governor's
Island, whore ho was formerly charged
with violation of the 95th article of
war. The charge recited that "having
taken an oath of office in which,
among other things, he swore to support
the constitution of the United
States against all enemies, foreign
and domestic,' and that he would bear
true faith and allegiance to the same.'
m had written the letter concerning
his resignation. Tin? same charge
was made in connection with the other
letter.
Court martial Sustained.
The courtmartial found him guilty
and the findings having been reviewed
by the judge advocate general, the
sentence of the court, dismissal fro/n
the service and confinement at hard
labor for 25 years, were ordered carried
out. The United States disciplinary
barracks at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan., was designated as the place of
imprisonment and it was declared
that "Capt. David A. Henkes, Sixteenth
Infantry, ceases to be an officer
of the army from February 28,
1918."
The report was signed by Maj.
William A. Mann, commanding the
Department pf>t^e East and by Coi.

GUTTING OFF FOOD

Washington?Food shipments from
the Northern European neutral countries
to CJennany have been cut 65 to
85 per cent since last year by the operation
of America's export control
as disclosed tonight in the first annual
Teport of the war trade board.
The effect has been also to decrease
to a marked extent shipments of
other commodities from neutral countries
to the enemy.
The board disclaims any policy of
coercion or retaliation in its dealing
with nontrak anH ?r?t? farfh that il

Tells of Embargoes
The report tells of the embargoes
which have been in force for several
months against neutrals, and outlines
the agreement reached with Switzerland,
under which the Swiss will get
food from the United States in return
for assurances that none of it
will reach Germany and that shipments
of i*ome of her own commodities
to Germany will be limited.
A review is given of negotiations
with the northern neutrals for tonnage
by which the United States and
Great Britain have obtained 1,400,000
tons deadweight of Non^regian shipping
