in a fair way to effect the junction of
the forces which are fighting in west

engaged in southeastern Russia. AS
was predicted, the japanese censors do
not permit much news to come from
the allied expedition in Siberia, but
what does come is satisfactory.
In Russia the reign of terror insti-

known numbers Of the opponents of
Lenine and Trotzky have been mas
sacred. The American government last
week issued a series of articles expos
ing those two precious rascals as the
paid agents Of Germany, giving the
text of many secret documents OBJ
tanned by an agent of the committee
on public information. All this made
intensely interesting reading, but no
one in America except a few %highbrow
"intellectuals' is surprised by the facts
revealed, and there doesn't seem any
way to get those facts before the Rus

Austria'S suggestion of a "nonbind-
ing conference Of all the belligerents
to make clear their wal aims and peace
demands met with the promptest kind
of rejection by the allies, President
Wilson taking the lead in refusing to
consider the idea. In two sentences
he replied that Americas terms had
been repeatedly and clearly stated and
therefore no proposal for such a con-
ference would be entertained by it. In
this Mr.. Wilson was heartily supported
by the entire nation, and his position
was also thoroughly approved by the
allies of the United States. Austria's
suggestion, made with the consent of
Berlin, admittedly was merely a
"peace flyer" and there was little ex-
pectation in Hunland that it would re-
.ceive favorable consideration.
No better reception was accorded the
German offer of peace to Belgium.
With unblushing %effrontery Berlin
asked the nation the Huns have rav-
ished to drop out of the conflict, not
even suggesting that they would make
reparation for the horrible crimes they
have committed there, and making the
%insidious proposal that the "Flemish
question" should be considered and the
Flemish minority that aided the Ger
man invaders should not be penalized.
Belgium, of course, said mo to all
this claptrap.
