PARIS, Feb. 1J. (Special Wireless.)
"There can be no doubt of great
danger to Europe if German-Austria
Is allowed to unite with Germany."
Count Cellere, Italian ambassador to
"Washington, and member of the Italian
mission to the peace conference, said
today.
"It behooves the allies to keep Ger
many low, and to consider her as a
beaten enemy. Unfortunately, she 1s
not entirely beaten, and now it is pro
posed, with plausible sublety of rea
soning, that instead of taking from
her elements likely to subdue her ag
gressive spirit, we give her oppor
tunity for renewal of her strength, by
means of union with German-Austria.
Danger Seen la Union.
"The problem involved is one of dif
ficulty. President Vil.son"s 14 princi
ples of peace have become the basis for
discussions in the peace conference.
One of the points calls for self-determination
of their political status by
the various peoples. If these people of
German-Austria, with German ideas
and the German spirit of domination,
speaking the same language, wish to
unite in a single government with Ger
many what are the allies to do? There
Js real danger in the proposed union,
for German-Austria is all that remains
of Austria."
"Are the Italians having the same
difficulty in making Austria comply
with the terms of the armistice," I
asked, "that the allies are having with
Germany?"
Austria Compliance Slow
"I cannot say that they are difficul
ties," Ambassador Cellere replied. "Of
course, there is general unwillingness
ti the part of Austria to comply with
the armistice terms, but in certain sec
tions of the old Austrian domain peo
ple who were our enemies not long
ago are now our friends, and are help
ing us. For instance, the Croatians
are quite friendly. The former Aus
trian emperor, Carl, in one of his
speeches, said the really effective force
in his armies was mainly the Croatian
lement, for the Croats were his only
nofdiers who showed proper fighting
spirit."
BERLIN, Feb. 12. (By the Associat
ed Press.) A general insurrection is in
progress throughout Roumania, ac
cording to a special dispatch from
Vienna. King Ferdinand has been
wounded slightly in attempting to flee
from Bucharest with the rdyal family.
Workmen Block Roadway,
Workmen blocked the roadway from
the royal palace when the royal family
nttempted to flee to Jassy, and the
king and his family were forced to re
turn. - -
The king was wounded when the
workers, according to report, fired
upon the royal palace.
Rioters in the streets of Bucharest
are openly demanding the overthrow
of the dynasty, crying "down with the
puopets. long live the republic!"
The village of Buda'pest learns that
the revolt is part of the bolshevik
propaganda. In the clash between the
military and demonstrators at Bakorst,
60 persons were killed and 150
wounded.
The discipline of the Roumanian
army, the newspaper addx, is collaps-
GOOD BLOOD IS

T DISEASE
Lost Appetite Recovered When
Indiana Woman Took the
. Tonic Treatment.
Physicians of the country have
rcacnea one conclusion from the in
lluenza epidemic which swept over the
country. People of low vitality, they
tieciare, were the rirst to succumb to
the infection. Robust people with
Plenty or good, red blood carry prac
tical immunity to germs for the blood
is primed to repel invasion. Thin
.blooded, anemic people, however, dos-
ssess little resistance tc invading dis
ease germs.
It is important, therefore, at thi
time that run-down people, anj those
suffering from general debility, should
do their utmost to res;o"-- the blood'
combative powers. There is no blood
builder that . is better fitted to give
the blood strength and resistance than
JJr. w illiams' Pink Pills. By consci
entiously following directions the pa
tient can restore his appetite, disperse
aches and pains and etrsngthen the
stomach and nerves.
Mrs. Harry Depray. of No. 1650 South
Third street, Terrt Haute, Indiana, was
nearly ready to give up hope of re
covering strength and happiness when
ehe gave Dr. Williams" Pink Pills a
trial. She describes her experience as
lollows:
"I suffered from general debility
following a breakdown in health due to
overwork, lack of proper exercise and
irregular meal hours. I ate very little
because severe stomach painr followed
each meal. I lost strength gradually
and couldn't sleep. I had continuous
pains in my left side and my circula
tion was so poor that my hands and
arms were numb.
"An announcement in a newspaper
first drew my attention to Dr. will-
lams' Pink Pills and I decided to give
them a trial. After a week's treat
ment my stomach seemed stronger and
I continued the treatment until the
numbness disappeared from my arms.
Now I can eat a meal without any
after-distress. I am completely restored
to strength now. My daughter has also
taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and has
1een greatly benefited."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the
blood. When they do this they . tone
up every nerve in the body. They drive
out of the blood the poison that causes
rheumatism. They strengthen the
stomach and make digestion thorough
and comfortable.

ing. The food situation Is rapidly
growing worse and the country's
finances are completely demoralized:
The position of the Bratanio cabinet
is declared to be untenable.
Since early last December there have
been recurring reports of grave dis
orders in Roumania, but there never
has been any official confirmation or
any statement of the Roumanian gov
ernment on the internal situation. On
December 1 it was reported that Bu
charest was burning, but the report
was denied the next day and on De
cember 3 King Ferdinand and the royal
family were welcomed to Bucharest on
their return from Jassy, which had been
the temporary capital while the Ger
mans were in possession of Bucharest.
Dispatches received. Jn Vienna from
Budapest on January 28 said that a
peasant revolt had broken out In Rou
mania and that many had been killed
and wounded in fighting in Bucharest.
This report was not confirmed.
Internal Situation Grave.
The internal situation in Roumania,
however, has been most unsettled and
the government has had to deal both
with -socialist agitators at home and
bolshevik propaganda from Russia. The
reconstruction task of the erovernment
has been hard because of the mannir
in which the Germans pillaged the
country during their occupation. Rou
manian money printed and floated by
the Germans has been causine financial
difficulties.
Premier Bratanio is a liberal in pol
itics and an anti-German. On February
2 he appeared before the supreme coun
cil of the peace conference in Paris and
there has been no report concernine
his whereabouts since.
C6PENHAGEN. Feb. 13. A Llbau
dispatch reaching here by way of Ber
lin says the entire territory of - the
Esthonian republic has been cleared of
the bolshevik! through the Eslhonian
and Finnish advance movement.

to be placed at tlO.GOO and the others at
$5000 upon their being taken into cus
tody. .
Prosecuting Attorney Fred C. Brown
swore to the complaint filed Thursday
in the court of Justice of the Peace
John B. Gordon upon which the war
rants were issued. Prosecutor Brown
is acting in co-operation with Special
Assistant United States District " Attor
ney Clarence I. Reames and officials
of the department of Justice.
.Headquarters of the I. W. W. in the
Pacific building were cleaned out, ana
it was there most of the arrests were
made of the men held for investiga
tion. The Equity Publishing company's
plant, operated by Walker C. Smith,
was raided and considerable published
matter and equipment confiscated ana
taken to the prosecuting attorney's of
fice. Offices of the International Weekly,
in the Liberty building at Third ave
nue and Union street, which were
raided last Saturday night, were again
descended upon and a quantity of lit
erature seized.
Walker C. Smith is now out under
bonds in the sum of J1000 on a charge
of publishing matter tending to incite
a breach of the peace.
"Members of the Industrial Workers
of the World used the general strike
of organized labor in this city as a ve
hicle with which to start a revolution,"
said rosecutor Brown. "It was only
the quick action of the local authorities
and the prompt show of force that sup
pressed it in its infancy.
The men back, of this revolutionary
movement were not interested in or
ganized labor or in fighting organised
labor's battles. They were merely
using the strike as a means to attain
their objective, which was the over
throw of the government, and events
will show that, they were the worst
enemies that legitimate labor organiza
tions t:ould have;."
STRIK-E ELEMENT IN CONTROL
Adjustment of Labor Differences in
Tacoma Not Reached.
TACOMA. Wash., Feb. 13. Beyond
proving that the element in favor of
the existing shipyard strike is still in
control, it is reported that the meeting
of the boilermakers this afternoon
brought no definite action toward an
adjustment of the union's attitude con
cerning a. return to work.
The meeting was stormy through
out its three houfs of session, but no
untoward incident occurred, according
to members who attended the gather
ing, which was closed to all but those
bearing cards in the local union. Po
lice remained in the street outside the
building throughout the meeting.
President G. G. Read, of the union,
did not deliver the order to the men
to return to work as he had announced
last night he would do in a telegram
to international headquarters. De
spite the apparent pro-strike tenden
cies of the boilermakers, however.
members of the metal trades strike
committee appeared more optimistic,
and the tone of telegrams sent by the
metal trades to Director Charles Piez
of the Emergency Fleet corporation
is declared to indicate that the end
of the shipyard strike in Tacoma is
now in sight. i
The metal trades strike committee
held a conference this afternoon with
Mayor C. M. Riddell. and the citizens
who attended a similar meeting Mon
day night. Results of the conference
were withheld but several who attend
ed inferred that action on the part of
both shipping board and strikers is
expected shortly.
SHIPYARDS REFUSE TO DEAL
Seattle Owners Displeased With Con.
tinued Misrepresentation.
SEATTLE, Feb. 13. Telegrams made
public today by owners of all the biz-
shipyards whose metal trades workers
are on strike included one to A. J.
Berres of the Macy wage adjustment
board and secretary of the metal trades
department. American Federation of
Labor. The message to Berres said the
shipyard owners here had decided not
to deal further with the Seattle metal
trades council "in consideration of the
continued misrepresentation of union
labor and the unwarranted condition
which they have imposed upon us for
some time."
Another telegram, sent to Charles
Piez, director-general of the emer
gency, fleet corporation, by C. W.
Wiley, president of the Todd Drydock
& Construction company of Tacoma,
said the Tacoma striking metal trades
workers would return to work within
48 hours if given a definite date after
March 31 when their request for higher
wages would be considered, A message
from Mr. Piez in reply said he would
take no action until the men returned
to work.
"After their return." Mr. Piez" reply
said, "I will be glad to call a con
ference for the purpose of determining
what machinery if any shall be set up
to adjust the wages after the Macy
board ceases to exist."

FRENCH PRESS TOE
ii
CONTINUES TO ANGER
Propaganda - Objectionable to
U. S. and Britain Noted.
OPPOSITE VIEWS STIFLED
Efforts of Paris Editions of Amer
lean Papers . to Give American
Side Suppressed by Censor.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub.
llshed by arrangement.)
PARIS, Feb. 13. (Special by Wire
less.) Although direct assurances have
been given to the American mission by
French officials that the objectionable
methods of propaganda, of which the
Americans had complained, would be
stopped, Wednesday's .Paris papers of
fered instances of -the offensive prac
tice. Local editions of the New York Her
ald and of the Chicago Tribune had
great blank spaces when they appeared
on the streets, showing where the cen
sor had been busy in deleting all allu
sion to the attitude assumed by the
American delegates to the French pro
gramme of branding as pro-German all
opposition to Frenchplans.
Censor Prevents Reply.
In the last two weeks the B'rench pa
pers have been permitted to comment
adversely on the position of the Amer
ican and British missions. When the
Americans sought to . give their side
and to voice the resentment they felt
toward a course they regarded as un
fair, the official censor has denied them
the right of publication.
Display by the French of the spirit as
above Instanced led to the definite
warning from American sources that
unless this course was changed there
would be an attempt -to remove the
conference from Paris.
It is assumed that the dispatches of
correspondents regarding the American
attitude were permitted to go to Amer
ica without hindrance, but the French
public has been denied the right to be
informed of our protests against the
style of publicity that has been em
ployed.
Frrnrk Plan Opposed.
Members of the American mission
said . yesterday that they have been
given to understand that the methods
to which they object will be barred
hereafter. If another complaint should
be provoked it will be their last one.
they declare, and they will accompany
it with definite action of a protective
nature.
Two serious and highly important
matters were brought before the con
ference yesterday. France is insisting
that the league of nations shall incor
porate an international standing army,
to which all the members of the league
shall contribute. Presumably the army
will be under command of Marshal
Foch. This force would be used as
France's first line of defense against
Germany, whose military menace is the
subject of daily dissertation.
It was pointed out early in the pro
ceedings that the United States would
be unable, for constitutional reasons,
to join in such an undertaking.
French Are Innlstent.
, . As the French persist in this ponl
tion, it will not be possible for Presi
dent Wilson, as he will leave on Sun
day, to take back 'with him the ap
proved draft, for his attitude toward
the international army cannot be
changed. Some close observers see in
the renewal of this matter another ef
fort to block progress, in the hope that
there may thus be brought about full
concession of the French demands in
respect to the terms of the armistice
extension.
French armistice plans constitute the
second feature that was emphasized
yesterday. These dispatches have pre
viously outlined French aims, in which
Great Britain and the United States
have been unable to acquiesce.
The French wish the occupation of
Essen, the continued occupation of the
left bank of the Rhine, the dismantling
of the forts on the western frontier ol
Germany and the reduction of the Ger
man army to impotence. But France
Is not willing to lighten the severity of
the blockade, insisting that a stringent
blockade is a military necessity. Amer
icans hold that such blockade hampers
neutral commerce and is likely to af
fect seriously and lastingly German
trade. American and British industry
also are in a measure concerned, a pros
pect to which the French are seemingly
indifferent.
French demands, reduced to writing,
have been referred to a eub-committee
of the supreme war council, which is
expected to report within two days as
to the course to be followed in the ar
mistice meeting of February' 17. Our
position is that Germany should not
be shackled if she Is going to make
good in respect to the' many claims
against her. '

MUNICH, via Copenhagen, Feb. 13.
(Special cable.) Speaking today to mo
in regard to the scattered German
units who wish now to come together
in political union. Dr. Ludo Hartmann,
the Austrian ambassador to Germany,
who is about to return home to take
part In the elections of next Sunday, in
which the national wish is to be reg
istered concerning union with Ger
many, sai-J:
"I wish to see all German people
united. Old Austria has gone beyond
recall, although some members of the
old regime are trying to evoke the
ghost of the lost empire. The new
alignment for the league of nations
must be racial.
"In Austria are 10,000,000 Germans
living In territory contiguous to Ger
many proper. They may properly be
joined '.o Germany without making
new and " fantastic frontiers. There
are 6,500,000 Germans in Austria and
3,500,000 in Bonemla.
"The elections Till, show that Ger-man-Austrians
wish the union, but they
are not content with Including them
selves witnin the new German bound
aries. They wish to include also the
Germans on the edge of Bohemia and
of Silesia, and to relieve them of Bo
hemian rule. That will be difficult to
accomplish.
"I understand that Professor Cool
idge's report to President, Wilson has
removed American objections to union
of German-Austria with Germany. It
is equally important that the Germans
within the frontiers of old Bohemia
should hare the same affiliation and in
that, effort strong opposition will be
encountered."
