Publication by tho Da 111 ttctdXA, the new labor news- paper, ot a report that those in power In Russia had made comprehensive peace proposals to the allied and asso- ciated Powers, caused no stir in diplo- matic circles In London y. Those In a position to speak author- itatively on Russian affairs say that If such new proposals were made they doubtless would be considered aa not being bona fide aa hava been other proposals or feelers put forth by Pre- mier Lenlrie. aorg Lansbury, editor of th Dolly Btrald. declares that th Allies hav re- ceived a proposal for an understanding with the present rulers of Russia, anil Intimates that the conditions of that understanding are the withdrawal ot allied troops from Russia and the aban- donment ot th policy of Interference in Russian affairs. Would Pay tinsels.' Debts. Russia, on her part, would be willing not to Interfere with the affairs of other nations: allow Finland, Eethonla. Ukraine and other republics formed from the bygone Russian Empire to choose their' own forms of Government, and to vay Russia's International debts. The writer minimises stoYles of out- rages by Russian, revolutionaries, de- claring that such happenings have been less frequent than In other revolutions on a similar scale. He avers that Niko- lai Lenlne. tho Bolshevik Premier, and Leon Trotaky, tho Bolshevik Minister of War and Marine, have been \outrage- ously slandered,\ and describes the pres- ent administration of Russia, as \clean and uncorrupf,\ The reorganisation of Industries Is proceeding everywhere In Russia, 'Sir. Lansbury says. Coincident with the publication of a peace proposal story, a batch of Petro-gra- d newspapers arrived In London to- day. In tho Northern Comlte, a Soviet publication, Zlnovleff, the dictator of Petrograd and represented as being next to Lenlne In power, Is quoted as again referring to the proposals as not bona fide. Cannot Give Onsrsnleef, After stating that \we would promise to give the Allies twenty, or even forty billion rubles,\ Zlnovleff said: \Our Russian counter revolutionists. Mllukoft, Savinkoff and Tschalkowsky, understand very well that our conces- sion to tho Allies Is purely of a sham character. That Is why they try to per suade the Allies not to conclude peace with the Bolshevik!, pointing out that the Bolshovlkl cannot glvo any guar- antees.\ Zlnovleff Is represented aa often making undiplomatic statements when warming up In a speech. On a previous occasion he said that any peace the nolshevlkl could make with the Atnes would be \a scrap of paper\\ and a repetition of the Drest-Lltovs- k peace.

Chamberlain of San Antonio, Tex., on trial before a court-martl- In connec tlon with his claims to having performed a series of notable aerial feats while on the British front last summer, took a pi.rsonal hand In 's proceedings. g Capt. V. 8. Bennett, n Royal Air Force flight commander, who took part In scores of combats during tho war, and who wears the War Cross Capt. Chamberlain drew from the wit- ness testimony tending to substantiate the feasibility of the various air manoeu-vre- t attributed to the American In the flights he claimed to have made. Capt. Rtnnett. for Instance, admitted the pos s'.blllty of a visiting pilot acting In col tuslon with a regular, squadron pilot to take part In an offensive patrol, but the British ofllcer said he was sure that de- tection would follow such a step. The report of Capt. Chamb-rlain- 's alleged feats stated that when he was forced to land between the lines he tore tho compass from the .airplane, and by brandishing It succeeded In putting to flight threo Germans and In capturing one of the enemy. Capt. Bennett In his tistlmony y stated that the com- pact resembled a hand grenade, but, like a previous witness who had testified on this point, thcnight It would be Impos- sible to wrench tho compass from Its fastenings, Lieut L. V. Mitchell of the noyal Air Force, testified that ho once tried to wrench a compass from b wtocked \camel a machine of the type Capt. Chamberlain Is said to havo used, but without success. Oflldal rccordfl of the noyal Air Force were Introduced to show thnt Major Vancours, with whose squadron Cham- berlain was reported to havo said he visited, was killed In action In Italy a fortnight prior to Chamberlain's alleged exploits.

If he has any Illusions about his situa tion or about conditions In Germany, Mich as affect him now or may pos slbly affect him In tho future, he did not betray them. He declared that he had both feet upon the ground and was not fooling himself. He ex pressed the ardent hope that the Gcr- - man people would soon find them selves and begin the slow, laborious work necessary to build up the nntlon again. When speaking ot his country and his family he could not conceal. the longing look In his eye or the note of melancholy In his voice. Ills Ilope Are Modest. As to expressed hopes, doglres and plans for tho future, so far as any of those may be left to him, they were modest and simple, to say the least; he endeavors to give the Impression that he could be hnppy without a crown or throne. With his Inclination to interest him gelt In everything around him, his as sumed democratic manners and his ability to mix, tbo n Prince won some popularity with the simple folk of this Island, where houses and people look as If they had been takeu from children's picture book. \An obliging, good nstured boy,\ Is tin? way Burgomaster Peerboom ot Wler-lrige- n characterizes his enforced guest.

That night a train got through from Mlnla, bringing some army sisters, a number of officers and men who had been caught on leave In upper Egypt, who proved a welcome reenforcement to the slender garrison. Their arrival enabled better arrange ments for defence to b made, and th Bedouins, realising the slse of the tore now defending the Lljillrleh and positions. where European women and children had been gathered, renounced the Idea of storming the de fenders. They stationed snipers around the Mudlrleh and continued to loot the toWn. carrying away all they could lay their hands upon to their settlements on the e.1?t side of the Nile River. Catering for so many persons as now were among those besieged was dim cult, but fresh vegetables wero available in tne officials' gardens, and loyal ser vants brought bread, while a' shipment or sheep waa conveniently sidetracked on an adjacent tide. Sundayand again on Monday an aero plane appeared, but much to the general disappointment It did not land. The party was cut off from cummunl-catlo- n with the outside world until Tuesday morning, March II, when a steamship arrived with Cairo reinforce- ments. All women and children except a Belgian woman who remained with her sick husband, were put on board the ship with a large number of British and American civilians. The tranrfer took place without Incident, a strong natrol accompanying the parties to the ahlpslde. The Journey to Cairo was un- eventful. Some of the residents elected to re- main at Benl Suef and assist the Mudlrleh and the inspector of the In- terior to defend the Mudlria, but the Bedouins have not returned to attack. REDS BOMBARD U.

This action has caused some resentment among the skilled workers and numerous protest have been sent to the Admiralty by th unions, who set forth that It Is this policy that has caused unrest among the laborer. Whether thl action on the part of in Admiralty is following the recom mendatlon In a letter to the Manchester Guardian by David Lloyd George, Prime Minister of Great Britain, that the United States and England should re- duce their armaments. Is not known. Evidently, however. It Is a part of the new Admiralty policy to reduce the plans for big addition to the navy.

It will not affect labor conditions. It I pointed out. because thousands of men are needed to repair the ravages of th submarines.
