maintained when the small nations he
is now so concerned about were suf-
fering unparalleled wrong. What mo-
tive can have prompted him to throw
aside that peculiarly prudent reserve
Just at a moment when his action was
most likely to be misunderstood?
His explanation on this point makes
his action still more unintelligible If
he brooded over this conception so
long in silence, what reason can have
fmpelled him to become suddenly COM
municative just at a moment when his
perception of the proprieties makes
him uneasy and distrustful? 1t is not
that he feels embarrassed
for he acted so that he becomes vir-
tually an interlocutor on the side of
Germany. Why did he not wait for
the entente's reply to Germany? Why
did he step into the ring with pro-
posals which, whatever his intention,
must present themselves to the allies
as directing the course which in his
judgment they shall take?"

Vorwaerts Is Deeply
Disappointed Over Speech

Berlin, via London, Dec. 22.-The
Vorwaerts, which was one of the first
newspapers in Germany to talk OF
peace, expresses deep disappointment
over the speech of Premier David
Lloyd George.
The paper cites passages in the
speech from which it claims the only
logical inference is that firstly, the
entente refuses to make peace until 1t
can do so upon the ruins of Germany's s
military power. secondly, the entente,
because Germany breaks treaties. will
make no treaty with Germany at all,
but will itself take substantial guar
antees by force of arms; thirdly, that
Germany must swallow the entente's s
terms whole and unseen before Lloyd
George will condescend to negotiate"

Russia's allies, will be made as purely
matter of form and will contain no

FEDERAL AUTHORITIES ARE
 SEEKING STOLEN STAMPS
Russell Held at New London for 30
 Days in $3,o00 Bonds.

Acting on the recommendation of Prosecuting Attorney Daniel NJ. CTO- min, Judge William B. Colt, in police court Monday morning. continued the case of Frank Russell, presented on the charge of theft of, postage stamps valued at $125, until Sept. ?, the rec ommendation coming after the federal authorities who are working on the case requested its continuation.
 Russell was arrested Thursday night after he had been pointed out as a suspicious chara acter to the Norwich police by Conductor Geer, on the Cen tral Vermont railway. He was rep resented in court Saturday morning and the case continued until Monday under bonds of $3OG0 which he was unable to furnish The same bonds were fixed Monday and Russell went to jail.
 When the recommendation for a 30 days continuance was made Russell requested that he be allowed to speak and after the request was granted de- murred at the length of the COntinua- tiOn, saying that the matter should be cleared up in a shorter space of time. Mir. Cronin told him that with his as sistance 1t might be shorter. but as he, the prisoner, showed no desire to help the authorities, it would take 30 days. Russell made no more com ment
 No record has been found of a post office burglary and it is this matter on which the federal authorities are working. There is little doubt but that the stamps were stolen, the pros ecutor told the judge Monday morning, and, all evidence pointed that Russell was the guilty party, but inasmuch as the federal authorities were working on the case he deemed it wise to yield to their request for the lengthy con- tinUance.
