THE WOLF AND THE LAMB

Under duress, the Russian Bolshe- wiki haveSsigned treaty which not only calls for the cessation of hostil- ities with Germany and the other members of the quadruple alliance, but which actually provides that cer- tain territory in the West shall pass from Russian sovereignty. The terri tory is not specifically defined but un- doubtedly takes in part of the Baltic region. The western line is to be fixed by German-Austrian mixed commits sion.
 'The region in question:" says a part of article 3, twill have no obli- gation whatever toward Russia, aris- ing from their former relations there to. Russia undertakes to refrain from all interference in the internal affairs of these territories and to let Ger many and Austria determine the fu- ture fate of these territories in agree ment with their populations"
 This is a part of the treaty which Leon Trotzky apologetically said the Bolsheviki were compelled to sign without discussion" in order to ar- rest the invasion. of Russia. During one period of the famous Brest-Lito-

vsk negotiations, when Germany pro- posed to leave the fate of the Baltic region occupied by German troops to the people themselves but refused 1 to evacuate the territory, Trotzky made a show of righteousness indig- nation and threatened to call off the ! entire proceedings and summon his Red Guard to thrash the tar out of the kaiser's army. The outcome of the negotiations shows who was master of the situation from the outset. The treaty was, of course, made in Potsdam. Its terms are purely Ger man terms. The effect of the treaty l is that the kaiser nas grabbed a big slice of territory from Russia and is camouflaging the facts by pretend ing to give the people of the occupied 1 territory a voice in the adjustment of their affairs.
 One can imagine, from the black record of Germany, how much infiu- ence the populations would have in fixing their national status. Alsace- Lorraine, wrested from France in 1871 at the point of the sword, pre- cisely as the Courland territory has been taken from Russia, has under gone a process of Prussianization for forty-seven years. Belgium, invaded by Germany, might also be consulted on the quetsion of the Hohenzollern method of treating occupied territory There is not the slightest ground for any supposition that the kaiser would consult the peoples of the Russian section occupied in determining their future. In this treaty is seen the kais- CTS Machiavellian hand-to incorpor- ate, to all intents and purposes, ad- jacent territory, yet to mislead both Russians and radical Germans by pre- tending to abide by the doctrine of "self determination" of peoples.
 The whole miserable proceedings attest to the craftiness and power of Prussia and also serves as a pitiful
 
 commentary on Bolshevik methods. The Russian amateurs have been out maneuvered from the beginning. One provision of the treaty for instance. exacts the complete demobilization of the Russian army. including the re- nowned but impotent Red Guard. The ancient fable of the wolf and the lamb is here illustrated.
 But the war is not over nor is Ger many the victor. There is tremen- dous advantage, of course, in being in possession of land when one is hal ed before the bar of justice, but Ger of Russian territory will be challenged by the allies if not by Russia itself.

HARLAN-FORE RIVER

Local Steel Leaguers Have
Classy Game on the
Saturday Card
SHIP TEAM TO
PLAY AT CAMDEN

The Fore River team OF the Steel
League, will be the attraction at Harlan
Baseball Park tomorrow afternoon at 8
O'Clock. Since defeating Harlan the last
time. the New England group OF big
leaguers have been playing even better
ball, so that the contest tomorrow, II
Manager Fred PayLe's players put UP
the effort he says they will, ought to
be one Of the classiest contests Of the
season.
Who the Fore River manager will
use on the mound, has not been an
nounced, but his best bet apparently
is Leonard. Leonard has been pounded
some. since Joining New England Ship
yard, but he has had the sign on Har-
lsns. too, Just the same.
Manager Gallagher Of the Delaware
River team, will take his huskIes to
Camden, N. j.. on Saturday, where they
will engage the New York Ship team.
In order to add encouragement for the
local team, Gallagher is going 10 take
the Harlan Band along. II they do not
win this game, and the pennant. Har-
lsns will at least have the pleasure Of
footing the town OF Camden up a bit,
anyway.
Joe Jackson went 10 Kennett Square
yesterday afternoon, where he played
with the team Of that place in a game
for the benefit Of the Red Cross. Jack
son contributed his services, when he
was permitted 10 cut out building ships
for a few hours. But the men Of Har-
lan's went 10 work earlier than COM
mon Yesterdays a. m, so that Jackson
did his days work, before he left for
the Pennsylvania town.
It's been a hard matter 10 obtain any
practice this week, because Of the heat,
and the attempts have been lifeless. As
a consequence there may be some sur
prlses in the Saturday scores. It's 10
be hoped, the Harlan fans say. that
