Bulgar Socialists Demand
Restoration of Serbia,
BELGIUM, and Rumdnid

Stockholm. Hay 2i.-The restoration
Of Belgium, Serbia, Montenegro and
Rumania was demanded by the Bulga-
rian Socialist delegates in conference
with the Dutch and Scandinavian COM
mittee. They also declared themselves
in favor of national reunion of Bull
carians as step to give permanent
tranquility to the Balkans.
The Bulgarian delegates further de-
dared that the right TO settle their own
affairs should be extended to all pee
piles. such as the Armenians and Poles.
They expressed the hope that The prob.
lem of Alsace- Lorraine would be settled
on these lines. The convocation OF
general Socialist conference was also
advocated,

Activities of Carnegie
Endowment Board
Logan Act To
Be Suspended
millionaire Hobo" How
May Represent u. S.
at Stockholm


Washington. May 24.--The govern
mcnt will not invoke the Logan act, it
was officially stated to-day. against
persons attending or participating in
conventions TO discuss questions of
peace in the abstract after the present
war. and which do not attempt to in
fluence the formulation of peace terms.
The activities of the Carnegie Endow-
ment for International Peace do not
come under the ban, it was said Off
cially.
That organization, since the COM
mencement Of the war, in 1914, has not
sought TO interfere in any sense with
its prosecution. and has not interested
itself in any effort TO bring it to a
conclusion. its work having been con-
fined TO the propagation of ideas for
minimizing the causes Of war in the
future. 10 promote the international
spirit in education and 70 increase the
interest OF the world in the movement
for the establishment of an interna-
tional court for the trial of Justiilable
issues between nations.
Elihu Root, head of the Foundation,
is chairman of the American mission
TO Russia. and the endowment, at the
first meeting of the trustees after
America entered the war. offered its
entire service to the government. The
secretary OF the endowment. who IS
also a director of its division OF in
ternational law. Dr. James Brown
Scott. is a major in the regular army,
attached TO the office of the judge ad-
vocate general. He is now on active
duty.
The reason the government was with
holding passports to the American So
ciaists elected TO represent this coun-
try's Socialist party at the Stockholm
conference was because. IL was de
clared. information had been obtained
which indicated that some of the dele
gates were acting as the agents OF
their respective governments. These
agents were believed TO be German and
Austrian, chief among whom is Schei-
de,nann. who has been the centre OF the
movement for a peace based on So
cialist platform.
II was asserted in some quarters.
also. that the Russian delegates would,
in effect, represent the Russian gov
ornment. although designated by the
Socialist organization rather than by
the government. The Socialists in
Russia have. however, through the
Council Of Workmen's and Soldiers
Delegsses, become supreme. dominat-
ing the government itself. This fact
was thought to be another reason why
the American government deemed 1t
unwise to permit socialists from this
country TO attend the conference. as
il is desired 10 impress upon the Rus
sian people that al the moment the
United States is thinking of war. and

Barring of American
Socialists from Peace
Conference Deplored
By ISAAC Don LEVINE

The best Russian opinion IN this
country IS gloomy over the effect
likely to be produced at Petrograd by
the news that American Socialists have
been stopped by the United States from
attending the Stockholm conference.
There are Russians here who go so far
as TO say that it is great blunder
in American policy toward Russia. IT
is not only bound to be misunderstood
BY itself. but it Will. they believe,
increase the Russians distrust OF the
Root mission.
The leading Russians in this coun-
try. like Professor Petrunkevitch. Of
Yale, and Mr.. Sakhnovsky, Of the All
Russian Zemstvo Union, advised this
government that the Root mission
would do actual harm to Russia in
stead OF good. And yet the member
ship of the mission was unchanged.
Warned Against Socialist Ban
The Council of Workmen's and Sol
diers' Deputies, which created the pres .
cnt Coalition Cabinet and is the actual
ruler Of Russia. plainly declared
couple Of weeks ago that no govern
ment should bar its Socialists from par
ticipation in the Stockholm conference.
This declaration Of the Russian Coun-
ell was. Of course, warning to Ger

many. The Russians never expected
The United States to bar the American
Socialist delegation.
source OF even greater misunder-
standing has been opened. The re-
ported intention Of President Wilson
90 hsrmonize the new Russia's war
aims with those of the Entente by r.
statement of Americas position in the
war will cause II to be said that the
Russian governments no-annexations
and no-indcmnities war policy is not
yet understood in Washington.
And yet the position Of the now Rus.
sian coalition Cabinet is clear on this
subject u allows Of no two interpre-
tations. This Cabinet was called into
being because Of Russia's wish for the
Allies TO restAte their terms. The
coalition government pledged itself to
carry out this wish. The revolutionary
democracy of Russia, supported By al
most the entire nation, is on guard that
the government proceed Immediately TO
fulfil its promise.
What Russia Understands
What does popular Russia under
stand under that promise? First. that
the Allies adopt President Wilson's
declaration that eve desire no con-
quest. no domination. We seek no in
IDENTITIES for ourselves. no material
compensation for the sacrifices we shall
freely make" as their policy. Second.
that they subscribe to the Presidents
announcement last January that every
nation and people should decide it's own
fate and form Of government. Third.
that tho Allies come out with a Joint
declaration officially stating their war
aims in concord with those principles.
Popular Russia takes il for GRANTED
that Belgium shall be restored and re-
built by Germany, that Alsace-Lor-
raine shall pass into French possession
again if the inhabitants so desire. that
the Trentino and Trieste shall become
Italian and that Prussian Poland shall
be returned 10 the new Polish state.
But the same Russia does not believe
that the German colonies shall become
British. as Lord Cecil said last week.
for the simple reason that the Allies
are fighting for a free Germany, and
a free Germany would be as competent
TO govern dependencies as a democratic
Great Britain.
Russia will not give UP her demand
for Joint Allied reputation of all
indemnities and annexations. The best
Russian opinion here is that no modi-
fying Interpretation or construction
that the President might put on his
former statements will thwart the new
Russia's clear-cut policy.
