League | Of Nations Impossible,
Declares Sir Edward Carson
British Leader Favors Idea but Says Difficulties Make Il
mpractcable-Democratizat of Military
Nations His Alternative

on without league Of nations, for 1T
all the countries became democracies,
he believed, the tendencies of the peo-
pies would all be away from war and
toward universal peace.
One of Carsons remarks for which
he has been more damned by his op-
ponents in this country than any other
IS his famous reference at Belfast to
"thc left bank Of the Rhine" For the
first time, to-day. Carson explained TO
me what that statement meant and
how he came to make it.
"As | was about to speak," Carson
said, "a newspaper man handed me Il
report of the German declaration Of
war aims just made at that time. I
referred to in my speech, and point
ing out the hypocrisy Of their claims.
said:
"'Lct them go back of the left bank
of the Rhine; then will believe
them
"That is all that was to my remark"
His Views on Russia
Commenting on Wilson's speech to
Congress, Sir Edward declared care
full reading Of it showed no difference
between the Presidents ideas and
Lloyd Georges. When l asked him if
he meant that England agreed to Will
sons sentiments about Russia he re-
piled:
II think Lloyd George intended to
convey much the same idea. We are
anxious to help Russia, just as anxious
as you are. But if the Russians break
their treaties with US, they cannot ex-
pect us to aid them.
This breaking of the Treaty Of Lon
don by the Russians is one of the chief
arguments against the plausibility OF
a league of nations, according to Sin
Edward. He pointed out that it was a
sort of league Of nations that existed
before the present war in reference to
Belgium. This agreement to respect
Belgian neutrality was broken by Ger
many. Then came the Treaty Of Lon
don, which has been broken by the Rus
slams. Then, too, there was The Hague
convention, entered into solemnly by
Germany OF her own free WILL but
ruthlessly broken. Such gross viola
tions as these show. to Sir Edwards
way Of thinking, the impracticability OF
a league Of nations.

Bolshevik Envoy on
Informal" Basis

LONDON. Jan. 1.-THE British gov
ernment has decided to establish in
formal rels:.-ns with Maxim Litvinotf.
who was appointed by the Bolshevik
government as Russian Ambassador at
London, according to "Ihe Daily Mail"
lh's step, adds the newspaper, has
been taken with view to obtaining
useful information in regard to condi-
tiOnS in Russia.
Maxim Litvinoff has been resident
of London for about ten years and has

Zen he learned he had been appointed
ambassador by Trotzky, Bolshevik For
elgn Minister. he declared he consid-
cred himself accredited to the British
people. not the British government.
Trotzky ordered the embassy officials
in London to hand over their quarters
and all moneys and documents to Lit
vinoH, but the officials refused. and at
Several dispatches d week ago quoting
London newspapers said that recogni-
ton of Litvinotf as ode facto" am

inns attitude was cOnnec:eG with the
Withdrawal OF Sir George Buchanan as
ambassador at Petrograd. where he had
got himself disliked by the Maximalists
through his known friendship TOR Ker-
ensky and the moderate Democratic
and Socialist elements.
The position is, "The Mail" says. that
50 long as Leninc and Trotzky retain
the de facto power in Great Russia it
would be unwise TO adopt an attitude
designed to shut off Great Britain from
receiving communications of possible
value and from supplying information

No Sooner Had That Shell Landed

 as usual Occasionally they would drop some bombs and kill few civil ians. but the situation was not critical enough to cause Us 10 move the head quarters.
 On Saturiay morning. April 2I, l had taken ny car down to the corps supply column to GI up with petrol when a shell car, over and landed in the field just LcsiGc the column. It was the first shell we had had in Poperinghe, and, believe lie, 1 didn't want to see whether there were any more on the way. had been detailed to go to Boulognp, aid l got started quickly.
 No sooner had that shell landed than the civilians commenced to move. It was the same old story-panic every where among the women and children, and the road was ChOked with them. The second shell landed about ten min utes later, so l judged they were only using one gun. and it was a small one at that. There was nothing, therefore. to get excited about.
 I picked up n priest and two old women and gave them lift as far as Cassel, where they could get a train later in the day for Calais or Boulogne. I reached Boulogne short ly after 10 o'clock, and at o'clock l was on my way back. When l arriy- ed in Poperinghe everything seemed as quiet as usual, and was very much surprised, as 1 had expected to find shells pouring into the place from all directions.
 It seems that the Germans had run an armored train through and had be- gun shelling the towS from the train. Our artillery went into action right away, and instead of hitting the train first they shelled the tracks behind the train and tore the road all up so that the train could not get back. Then they took their time and blew the train O4A-L44i-Alhb-

 He said he couldn't do thing like that, but the next time he was down there simply got up and walked out. In these hospitals so near the firing line there are no such things as beds, and one simply lies on a stretcher with his clothes all on.
 When I reached the gate of the hos pital I found a policeman on duty there, but I simply said the magic word Duty" and walked right by him. I got lift on a motor lorry for four teen miles, and l walked the other eight back to camp.

Sunday morning the shells began to fall fin the town again, and they were big ones this time-twelve inch, heard later. We knew that it was no armored train this time, and we knew that We were fin for a hot time.
 I was detailed with my car for the field cashier, which meant that if the order came to move I would have an officer, armed escort and all the money belonging to the headquarters, amount ing to S40,00O. All I had to do at the time was to stand by and wait for or ders.
 They kept up the shell fire all day, but at night they quit. There were quite few of our chaps killed and many civilians too.
 The chaplain of No. 3 casualty clear ing station had taken over a building and started q soldiers home. It was a place where a fellow could go when he was off duty, and there were books, magazines, cake, tea, etc, to be had for the asking. It was a fine thing, and 1t was always crowded, for the fellows enjoyed 1t immensely.
 This was the first building to be hit, and it was full of fellows at the time. 4 twelve inch shell crashed through the roof and exploded on the second floor. The building cavcd in like house built of cards. The marvellous part of 1t was that, although there must have been fully 100 men in there at the time, not q single one was killed. 4 few had some scratches and other minor in- juries, and one had his arm broken, but these were the only casualties from this shell.
 I lost all my belongings during the bombardment. I had been keeping my kit bag in the loft of stable, and hell came through and laid the build fig to the ground.
 All day Monday the smelling col' tinued, and still no orders came for us to move Things were beginning to look serious now, and we wondered how much longer we would have tc 
 stick 1t out. It was the most unsat. isfactory duty one could imagine. There we were doing absolutely noth. ing and the Germans throwing shell after shell into us. We had no chance to hit back, and there was nothing ex' cept to stand by and take our chances.
 When the order did come to move the field cashier was the last one to be noti- fed, but even though we were the last to get the order We were the first ones out, and I was happy to say goodby to that place. We went about six Elo- meters down the road and took over temporary headquarters in a little vil- lage.
 It was just after we moved down to this village that I got the only scratch 1 had during the whole campaign. l was on the Dickebusch road with a staff colonel, and we had been visiting some regiments that were out of action at the time. While we were there the Germans started smelling, and we de cided 1t would be better for us If we moved to a healthier locality.

 As we swung out into the main road we heard a shell coming, and automat- Ically put on more speed. The shell burst right on the side of the road. One piece of 1t flew through the bottom of the car and tore the foOtboard right from under the coloners feet. It didn't bother him the least bit. He simply swung his feet right up on to the seat and advised me to crowd on a little more speed.
 Another little piece of the shell graz ed my right leg just above the knee. It was a mere scratch, but 1t scared me as nothing ever has since, and l guess thought my whole leg was gone.
