A. K. Martens, so-called "Bolshevik ambassador," has given out the alleged text of Lwine's latest peace proposal, made to the British parliament through Colonel Malone, who recently went on mission into Russia. In terms similar to those of the Bullett peace offer, Lenine proposes two weeks' truce on all Russian fronts, while a peace conference meets in a neutral country, to draw up peace terms on the following basis: Plebiscites to determine allegiance desired by peoples on tbe Russian border. Lifting of the economic blockade of Russia, resumption of commerce, with equal distribution of merchandise to ail classes in Russia.

Interchange of usual peace time travel privileges, enabling Russians to enter any country, and all peoples to move about in Russia. Official recognition of Soviet Russia and its diplomatic representatives. General amnesty by both Bolshevik and anti-Bolshevik regimes for all political prisoners and offenders. Evacuation of all armies from Russia, and demobilization of both sides to peace time footing All Russian peoples jointly to assume foreign debts of both the Czarist and Kerensky regimes. -Exchange of raw materials by Russian and neighboring peoples.

This new and epoch-making theory marks a turning-point in the history of physical science. ASKS RETURN OF TROOPERS TO LACKAWANNA (Contiliued' from Page One.) several were beaten with fists and clubs. Fear that an organized mob may at any time rush the big plant of the Lackawanna Steel company caused Mayor Toomey to appeal to Governor Smith for assistance. Michael Lavelle, 35 yea(s old. of 1268 South Park avenue, an employ of the South Buffalo railway who has for years been a cripple, was attacked early last night in Ridge road, not far irom namDurg turnpike, oy several foreigners.

They beat hijn into a semi-conscious condition, according to Lackawanna police. Several other men. whose names were not obtained, were stoned and clubbed during the latest reign of terror in the Buffalo suburb. More than 800 men gathered in Ridge road, between Ingham avenue, where the recently organized steel workers' union headquarters are located, and Hamburg turnpike. Every man who appeared in Ridge road in the vicinity of the plant was ques tioned.

If he could not prove that he was not at present employed in the steel plant, he would be set upon and beaten, according to the police. The same tactics were repeated early this morning when the night and day forces of workmen shifted.

Special In the Neics. ORCHARD PARK, Dec. 30 Providence seems to have solved the eommunity house and town hall ortib- lem, which has vexed the village for months.

Last Sunday mornings fire left a bare spot near the center of the village which may provide an ideal location for the much desired building. Firemen's hall, wherein was located the village fire-fighting apparatus, was destroyed bv Sunday's blaze. A building for the fire engines and for fire headquarters is an immediate 'necessity, and persons with the in terests of the town at heart have been quick to see the desirability of combining one fine structure the firemen's headquarters, a town hall, a community building and an auditorium of sufficient size to accom modate any. public gathering whichi is likely to assemble here for some years to come. Overtures have already been made to owners of some of the land one which the burned buildings stood.

The flames left available a lot fronting on West Quaker street about 200 feet and running back to a sufficient depth for all practical purposes. The" firemen have a knack of getting what they want, and it is presumed they will push the scheme for a composite building with their usual ardor. Naturally the project is of much Interest to the American legion, the local post of which has a large number of returned soldiers who will without doubt enter Into' the movement with enthusiasm. Then there are scores of men and women who have been. keenly desirous of have some sort of a practical town building, but who, because no desirable site was available, have rather despaired of seeing anything accomplished.

These latter see new hope in the fire-scorched plot 'of land which has so opportunely placed the town hall project in the realm of probability, and they may be depended upon to give aid in any form. THREE NAMED F0RMAY0R Robert M. Gay. H. P.

Duffy, chaplain of the Fighting 69th. which was com manded by Col. William J. Donovan of Buffalo, will find delight In reading the padre's book, just out. In this he gives a vivid picture of the life of the members of the famous regiment.

Their chaplain, a man after their own hearts, has his story of the travels and vicissitudes of the regiment with many little anecdotes which paint as nothing elese can the character of his "children." In describing an incident that occurred during the Argonne offensive he Says: "A patrol was out for the purpose of getting in touch with the enemy. As they were ascending the reverse slope of the hill a young officer, who was with two or three men in advance came running back, stooping law and calling breathlessly to the lieutenant in command: The Germans! Tbe Germans! The Germans' are Nobody thought him afraid, but his tone of excitement was certainly bad for morale. There was a sudden halt and a bad moment, hut the situation was saved when a nW York voice in a gruff whisper wai heard: 'Well, what the hell does that guy think we are out here looking for Called River the "O'Rourke." On ahother occasion Father Duffy tells of a conversation he heard shortly following the battle of Ourcq. "Going through the woods I heard John McMorrow discussing a date with Monzert of Headquarters Company," the chaplain writes, "and he was saying: 'It happened the first day we went over. I tell you it was.

It was on the mornin' that we crossed the O'Rourke river and captured Murphy's Farm."

DUBLIN, Dec. 30 (United Press)'. The coroner's jury called to report on the deaths of Lieutenant Boast and Lawrence Kennedy, the two men killed early Sunday morning during the attack on Viscoont French's lodge, yesterday afternoon rendered a verdict establishing the presence of a body of attackers, but failing to clear up the details regarding the shots which caused the lieutenant's death. In characteristic Irish fashion the jury seized upon the failure to discover Kennedy's revolver to blame soldiers for firing on an unarmed man, and rendered a verdict that "Kennedy had been killed by the military." In the case of Lieutenant Boast the evidence was even more conflicting.

Though the jury's verdict blamed the lieutenant's death on his own soldiers, evidence was introduced to show that six civilians fired on Boast. Boast was hit both in the chest and the back, according to the medical examination, but whether the bullets were of a military pattern was not definitely decided. Corporal Rolleston and Private Riddle of the guard troops both swore that they saw the civilians fire on Boast. They said they did not see the revolver in Kennedy's hand, but saw him reach into his pocket, which act was immediately followed by the flash of a revolver. One of the soldiers added that Kennedy was in the act of firing on him at the moment the fatal shot reached its mark.

The corporal testified that he had kept on firing for half an hour after the fatal encounter at objects supposed to be decamping attackers. The three men who had been arrested in connection with the affair were released after the jury failed to fix responsibility for Boast's death on any members of an attacking force SEEK TO SAVE WRECKED MEN Passing: of the Storm Renews Hope for Five Lashed on Bridge.
