Alex Demos Tells Elaborate But Fictitious Story to Escape Draft. .Mex Demos, well known young Greek, has run afoul of the federal authorities in his eaKcrness to keep out of the trenches. Demos, who registered at Grand Haven, Mich., declared the day before Christmas in the otlice of I. K. Parks, chairman of the legal advisory board, whom he had solicited for aid in tilling out his rjuestionnaire, that he has been the sole support of an aged father and mother and three brothers and one Mster in Tripolis, Greece, since .September, 1912. He asserted that he has been in the custom of sending; them $300 a year and was, at that time, absolutely penniless. His story was to all appearances a flawless one. but it nevertheless created some suspicion in the mind of Mr. Parks. Later, acting on Iiis advice, the police authorities arrested Demos for carrying concealed weapons and the case started an investigation in the matter of Iiis exemption claim. Is Not Pcnnilos. It is now known that he not only is not penniless, but has in his possession at the present time something like $1.000. His father, whom he described as a helpless old man in faraway Greece, is an every' fia laborer in a local factory and has to his credit in a local bank nearly $:.- ."00. He has always supported his family in the old country. While he might hae claimed exemption on the grounds of being an alien, the young foreigner refused to do so. knowing that under tho?e circumstances he might be returned for service to his native land. To evade the questions of the authorities and to furnish a plausible alibi, after he realised his romancing had been discovered. Demos professed ignorance of the Fnglish language and declared that lie had been frightened Into teiline a wild tale of his financial responsibilities. He is being held under JZa'fl bond, his trial to come up next Monday in the city covrt. Meantime the federal authorities at Indianapolis hae been notified. William Mover.

SEEK COMMERCIAL RULE IN RUSSIA Germany Working Hard to Effect Domination at Early Movement. International News Sendee: LONDON. Jan. 2. Germain is working hare to effect commercial domination uf Pussia at the earliest possible moment and before Pussia can get on her old time terms again with the nations th;u were one? her allies in the lield. This "economic penetration" of Russia htgan when the armistice was iMsm.d on the eastern front and since then a swarm of agents have been ient into all parts of the republic t carry out German commercial propaganda. One of the points taken up at ih? Brest Lilovsk conference was that commercial relations between the two countries should be resumed at once nd that consuls should he exchanged. It :s assumed that Germany intends largely to increase her consular staff in Pussia as the Teutonic rovernrnent uses its consuls mainlv ;is business agents. Diplomats who have studied the peace situation pointed out here today that Germany would benefit more greatly by securing control of the vast resources of Russia than by trying to keep the territory that her armies have overrun. At the tamo time the German peace envoys are encouraging the partition of Russia into a number of small independent states so that these can be played against each other in the big game the central empires have undertaken. The belief that the entente powers will reply to the German peace offer was strengthened today by fresh developments. The parliamentary correspondent of the Chronicle, who is usually well informed on government matters, stated that tht? offer to make peace on the basis of "no annexations nor indemnities" is a serious move and that the allies must return a studied reply in order to satisfy the public. Any reply that is made will not be forwarded until all the allied governments are consulted. Thus it will represent the views of the United states as well as the warring power. in Europe. WOMAN LURES CASHIER TO STEAL BANK'S FUNDS International News Service: DENVER. Colo.. Jan. 2. W. K. Stitt, 51 years old, cashier df the Farmers' bank at Viola. 111., in custody here, said today he would return to the Illinois town without formal extradition, where he is wanted for the alleged theft of $7,000 of the nark's Tnoney. The wiles or' Miss Lotus Wiles, a Peoria beauty, were responsible for Stitt's defalcation and the desertion of a wife and three children, according to his story to police. He gine the worran $o,000 when he left Viola two weks ago. he said, on her promise to meet him in Chicago. He has not seen her since. Stitt had $4 5 when arrested. ASKS U. S. MEDIATOR IN RAILROAD CONTROVERSY International News Servlre: PLOOMINGTO.Y. 111., Jan. 2.

ENGLAND TO REPLY TD PEACE OFFER

! Government Realizes Propos- ; als Require Serious An- ! swer From Entente. L ."I X. Jan. 2. The British government recognizes tli.it Th Prest-L:to sk peace proposals constitute a grave and new fat. of which ofheial eogniance must be taken, says the Daily "hron:cl . in reporting a.s did the Man '-ester Guardian yesterday, that the Briti-h government intend to return a serious and reasonable reply to the Austro-German peace terms when presented ftlieially. The Chronicle adds that the Fnited State, Great Britain. France and Italy already are exchanging views concerning the j. .-ace proposal. The reported vi-it of Premier Lloyd Geoi-ge to Premier 'lemencea u . it declares, is an intelligent an. tieipatin which may or may not, be realized. Separate Peine Danger. The Petrograd orresponlent f the Daily News wonders whether the danger of a separate peace is realized in England. He says it would he a defeat for German democracy in addition to insuring the virtual enslavement of Pussia, as it would he a victory for the military caste in Germany. "It may mean."' he says, "much more than Russia's neutrality. If wo make no move, it seems possible that the Germans will ask the Russians to help them in enforcing" Russian peace terms on the entente allies. Trotzky is well aware of the danger, though faced with the necessity of concluding peace, and is doing his utmost to stimulate a revolution in Germany. Fraternization at the front already lias parsed beyond control of enemy orVicers ami enormous uuantities ef revolutionary newspapers printed in German are being distributed. l're Allies Take a Hand. " I am convinced our only chance , m defeating t.erman oesigns to publish terms as near the Russian term- as possible ami by taking a powerful hand in the proposed conference to help the democratic movement in Germany while helping the Russians to force the German government, in th direction i ha"s had to take. "Whatever party might be in power in Russia it will he eompelletl to conclude peace and Trotzky's method i more likely to damage Germany than the method ! of anv more polite person in his place. The nationalization of the banks puts a weapon more powerful than the guillitine in the hand-- of the government and probably will end much of the present sabotage." The writer foreshadows a further leavening of the ministry of nun from other parties joining the government. The Petrograd correspemdent of the Times, who H visiting in London, continues hi unti-bolsheviki statement today. He says it is not unlikely that the Germans, who are now reckoning upon the. great advantages they expect from the Russian revolution, will suffer a grevintis disappointment provided the friends of the Russian nation offer it a helping hand. He implies that the Russian people will not continue to submit to German exploitation through bolshevik adventurers, if closer union is established between Russia and the entente allies.
