OBJECT OF HUNS OBVIOUS Parties Opposed to Present Slav Government Ready to Profit by Failure of Recent Rbwo Teutonic Negotiations. LONDON. Jan. I. Pending th re. Wraptlon of conferences at Brest-t-ttOTtk today. special dispatches from Pttrorrad report attempt by the Ger man delegates at Petrog-red to make WDt aort ot a clandestine acree ment with the members of the con stituent assembly. . . The correspondent of the Dally News ays that the Germans are trying through a neutral diplomat to aet into communication with member of the as ambly. Their object Is obvious, he adds, as the parties opposed to the Bolshevikl are quite ready to profit by the Bolshevikl- refusal to make peace and to teJI the people that the Bolshevikl promised tnerd peace but Cave them war. Th version of the correspondent of the Daily Mall Is that the Germans have been putting pressure, direct or Indirect, upon the government in con nection with the summoning; of a con stttueat assembly, as the Germans he been making It pretty obrioas that they are unwilling to recognize the Bolshe vik! as representatives of a majority ef tfce Russian people, or even as tem porary trustees of the sovereign power. HiMr Mar B Workable. The Dally News expresses fear that Germany will find the constituent as sembly more amenable than the Bol shevik! In refrard to making- peace, and quotes Foreign Minister Trotsky as sarins- Uiat the bourgeois are prepared to give away half the country If they ran obtain control ot the government of the other half. - Regarding the attitude of the Ckraine towards the Germans, the Dally News says that the Hada la will ing to strike a bargain with the Ger mana The Petrograd correspondent of the Times, who Is now to London. writes that the Ukrainians are deter mined to send a mission to Brest l.ltovsk, not to negotiate a sepsrate peace, but to ascertain Germany s In tenllons toward Little Kussia. The Germans are willing, he says, to rec nrnise the flada on the basia that the I'kraln supply Orrnany with, food stuffs and rrofr.!u German economic Interests In the Ukraine. Neither of theae points, the correspondent adds. Is to LJttle Russian taste, but if the allies fall to help the Ukrainians or adopt policy of compromise with the sbevlkt. the Rada must have to yield. and the Cossacks, too. nsaeiac Reported ta Sowth. ' Newspapers In Petroicrad continue to report fia-htlns; In the south, where, ac rcrdicg to the correspondent of the Times, dvtl war ia wafir a ie4 and furloua , . The Austro-Oerman delecaVocs In Petrorrad profess to have information that the allies have derided to -break reiatlons with Russia. Perhaps this Is the reasnn why . the officials ot the British Krabassy hsve takes paina to assure Trotsky that the departure of b.r George Buchanan Is purely on ac count of ill-bealth and that he would have left last March but for the per suasion of ea-Korelgn -dmlster Tc restchenko. Trotzky also was told that the ether members of the embassy have no Intention of leaving Petroarad at present. F. O. Undley. councillor of the embassy, remains In charge. Amidst the whirl of events Involving the fate of the nation, the Bolshevikl government has found time to decree that Russia shall adopt phonetic spell ing on January 14. Three vowela and one consonant were eliminated from the a alphabet. . pressed by the Bolshevikl government. In reference to. the report that the allies are shortly to recoarnlt the Bol shevikl .government and that Great Britain could accept the appointment by the. Bolshevikl of Maxhm Lltvlnoff as Russian Ambassador In London, the Times says It haa reason to believe no chsnae has taken place in the attitude of the British- Government. Moreover, the government has received no Inti mation ot M: LitvloofTs appointment. The Dally Telegraph says It .ought not to tve nece-ssry to deny this re port, but that any one who need to be reassured may take It tnat the atory Is baseless.' AMSTERDAM. Jan. J. The Socialist newspaper Vorwaerta, of Berlin, says that Dr. Rduard David, the Socialist leader, told the Reichstag- main com mittee that the Austrtans were mora conciliatory than the Germane at the peace . negotiations at Brest-Litovsk. The German Under-Secretary of For eign Affairs. Baron, von dera Busscbe. liaddenhausen. denied this. He said no differences of any aort existed ss be tween the German and Austrian delegate.

WOOL MAKES FINGERS SORE Discovery I Made4n Store by Clerks Who Handle Skeins to Show Customers Manufacturers Have ."Been Notified. SPOKANE. "Wash.. Jan. 5. (Special.) Ground glass ha been discovered in yarn which arrived hero yesterday, to be knitted Into garments for soldiers. The discovery was made by R. D. Flynna. one of the owners of Mower Flynne, who notified the Govern ment authorities. After an expert ex amination of the yarn It was an nounced that not only ground glass, but some other substance, which burns' the flnrers or face. Is mixed In the yarn. "We bava notified representatives of the firm from which we purchased the supply and they have Informed us that they will Immediately notify the fac tory and replace the yarn," said Mr. Flynne. "The house from which w purchased the yarn Is one of the larg est which does business with Spokane and no doubt the ground glass has-been put In yarn being sold In other stores. "The ground glass and other sub stance haa been mixed into the yarn by some pro-German In hopes of dls couraglng women from knitting for the soldiers. Tarn which has ground glass mixed with it makes the fingers sore. The damage which could be done If any such garments were completed and sent to our soldiers or sailors cannot be estlmated. The fingers of the girls in our store, who have been handling the yarn to show customers the fine, grade, have become sore in the short time they have handled it, and so persons can see what damage it would do if sold, said Mr. Flynne.
