FAMOUS SOLDIER
FIGHTS AMERICANS
By J. W. T. MASON,
I (United Press Staff Correspondent)
New York, Feb. 8.—Duke Albrecht
of Wurtemburg is in command of the
, German forces facing the American
troops who have taken over a sector
of the French front near St. Mihiel.
Albrecht is one of the two German
generals of royal blood who have
made reputations during the war. The
other is the crown prince Rupprecht
of Bavaria. Albrecht was inspector
general of the Sixth German inspec-
tion district when the war broke out.
He commanded the 11th army corps at
Stuttgart and was one of the leaders
of the German drive through Bel-
gium.
He commanded the German army
that subdued the great French fort-
ress at Maubeuge on the Belgian
border. It was the fall of Maubeuge
under the unprecedented pounding of
By JOSEPH SHAPEN,
Petrograd, Feb. (Delayed) In-
| creasing German internal disaffection
is responsible for the change in tone
of the Russian delegates at the Brest-
itovsk peace conferences. Hope is
daily strengthening the Russians.
There is no retreat from their original j
position and they may demand that
the central powers apply the Russian
formula of peace without annexations
to the western front.
Bivst-Litovsk cc.iferees wired that
the negotiations had been resumed I
with German Foreign Minister Von j
Kuehlmann insisting on German )
terms, but with a softened tone. They !
declared there could bi nothing more
dangerous than a compromise Just •.->
the Russians have burned their in-
dangerous thgn a compromise. Just as
must they resist each concession de-
manded of the Russian revolution,
the delegates said. The Russian con-
ferees must firmly declare that they
will agree to a separate peace only !
if no other is possible, but only then
if such a peace is based on no annex-
ations and the policy of self-determi-
nation, according to their present at-
titude. There will be that kind of a
peace, or no peace, they assert.
The Znamia Trude, organ of the
Social revolutonaries of the Left,
said today that the Germans would
| hardly dare break off negotiations
now and "we must continue our policy
' of deepening the German revolution."
Referring to Foreign Minister
Trotsky's reference in his exclusive
interview with the United Press to
an elastic policy, the Novayazishiin,
asked whether or not Russia should
permit German annexations in the
west, even if they were rejected in
the east. The Bolsheviki reply to this
that if the Germans are able to an-
nex territory on the western front,
it is the allies fault, as they failed to
join the Bhest-I.itovsk conferences.

CONGRESS SQUABBLES
WHILE ROME BURNS
Washington, Feb. 8.—President
Wilson will have to fight now to get
the legislative authority to enforce
himself that co-ordination of the war
government that factions in congress
have demanded.
The method he has selected—a
measure that would give him unpre-
cedented powers of control over ex-
isting war machinery—is not to the
liking of many in both houses. The
prediction was made by its opponents
that it would be smothered in commit-
tee or emasculated by amendments.
The senate judiciary committee prob-
ably will begin consideration of the
measure Monday. It is possible the
president may make a personal ap-
peal to congress for favorable action
on it.
Senator Overman who suddenly pre-
cipitated the "empowering bill" on
congress Wednesday afternoon, says
