enCe III Snaplng the new Order IN
Europe.
These were some of the concep-
tions put forward by the allied gov
ernments with tenacity and skill. but
always in friendly spirit. ,
United States for Justice.
The contentious of the American
government generally and substan-
TALLY were that it had come into the
war not alone on account of speci-
fic grievances against Germany, but
On account also of certain funda-
mental principles of justice and
right. These principles had been
announced with fullness several
times by the American government
and had resulted in a great effort
by the American people.
Looked at from Washington these
principles each time they had been
enunciated in part or in whole. had
been received favorably by the Eu-
ropean peoples and seemingly by
the allied governments. It was not
meant to be understood that the
American government had thought
the allied governments had formally
accepted them, but the attitude of the
ministers unofficially and of the
press and of eminent men ouside
the immediate administrations and
of the peoples as whole had caus-
ed the conviction to prevail in Am
erica that these principles had been
approved and accepted as ideals on
which the war was being prosecut-
ed.
Did Not Fight for Land.
The American people never had
been conscious that they were
fighting for territorial or colonial
interests of any allied governments
excepting insofar as these came
within the frame work of the AM
erican governments principles. Con-
sequently, it was necessary to bring
out that these points, having been
accepted by the central powers pre-
sented a clean issue as to whether
tHcy WCiC W UC olll|ldily aSSSPtSo
by the allied powers.
If the allied powers could not
see their way clear to accept them,
the American government was in the
position of having conducted the
war for the purpose which were
not identical with those of the allies.
This presented rather delicate
issue at the outset as it was realiz-
ed that it might require the submis-
sion of the entire subject to the
American congress. The European
ministers felt the force of the views
presented, and this in time brought
about an entire agreement upon
the American points as basis of
peace negotiations.

of 2,l00 bolshevik prisoners and ref
ugees in a train sent across Siberia
by the Czecho-Slovak troops fight

have arrived at Nikolsk, near Vlad-
ivostok. The journey from the Ur"l

cupied six weeks.
The survivors reached Nikolsk in
40 cars. The train carried no pro-
v''ions and was without sanitary
equipment.
OF the 800 persons missing from
the original total, some were shot
while trying to escape from the
train. Others lost their lives Ly
throwing themselves from the car
windows. Disease, starvation and
exposure accounted for the remain
der.
Moved from Jail to Train.
When the Czecho-Slovak forces
otured Sanara they loaded the
inmates of ther jails into trains in
Discriminatory along with the boil
shevik prisoners of war.
The American Red Cross at Vlad-
ivostok has rushed doctors to Mix
DISK to aid the arrivals. Some per-
sons died on the ground after be-
ing removed from the railroad
cars. Other trainloads of human
freight in similar straits are now
on their way eastward over the
trans Siberian railroad. Eight hun

infected, were turned back towards
Samara because of the lack of Ship
space.
Innocent in Jail.
Among those reaching Nikolsk
were a dozen women who formerly
were nurses in thc -belshevik hospi-
tai at Samara. Many innocent per-
sons were included. There was one
man with his wife and children who

bolsheviki because the husband and
father had refused to join the boil
shevik forces.

rapher who had been sentenced t.

Food Wasting May
Bring Jail Sentence
Proposed City Ordinance Pro.
vides Punishment for Waste
full Persons

A city ordinance that would prohibit
the wilful waste or destruction of
food and make violation punishab Bile
by fine Of $50 or ten days in jail, or
both, was considered yesterday at a
meeting of the committee on general
welfare Of the Board of Aldermen
The proposed ordinance was considered
in connection with a report of the di-
rector of the Bureau of Food and
Drugs Of the Department of Health,
who has made an extensive survey of
the food waste iii the city. The COM
mttee will report back to the board
Tuesday.
According to the directors report it
is estimated that about $4,000, 900
worth Of food is thrown away in the
City Of New York annually, sufficient
to pay the food bill Of 10000 persons.
About one third of this waste is bread
and about one-sixth meat. In bread
alone, the report shows there are about
60,0o0ooO pounds, equivalent to 964,O
bushels of wheat. In view of the
stringency of the wheat situation due
to the Uboat ravages, the report
states it is very evident that this wheat
waste should be saved if it is at all
possible.
