TROTzKY HOLDS UP
 CzERN|N ID SCORN

LONDON, Dec. 23.-(British Wire less Service) Leon Trotzky, Russian bolshevik minister of war and marine, has made a statement regarding the recent efforts of count CZernin, former Austro- Hungarian minister of foreign affairs, to excuse himself for the part he played in the negotiation of the Brest-Litovsk treaty.
 Count CZernin," says TrotZky, fin sists now very strongly upon differ ence between the policy of Dr. Richard von Kuehlmann, former German for eign secretary, and his own. We have actually noticed between them some difference, but the difference was due simply to the fact that von Kuehl mann commanded and CZernin obeyed. It would be more correct to say that General Hoffman tone of the German delegates to Brest- Litovsk) gave or ders to von Kuehlmann and that von Kuehlmann conveyed them to Czernin.
 "Czernin now discloses that it was his conviction that it was necessary that Poland, Lithuania. and Courland should themselves determine their flu ture government In the Brest-Litovsk negotiations, Czernin did not in any woy display this conviction.
 When General Holman wanted to express in especially cynical form. con- tempt of the victors for the right of self determination of peoples, von Kuehlmann charged Czernin with this task and CZernin carried it out"

Col Harvey Denounces Trip Says President Invites
 Very Alliances Washing ton Warned Against Home Problems Urgent
rRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Asserting that President Wilson had sailed for Europe in "eagcr pursuit. of the en- tangling alliances, against which Washington karned the nation, Colonel George Harvey denounced the league Of nations plan, in an address tonight at the 18th annual dinner of the New England society of the city of New York.
 Would we not better still the fer nent in Mexico and Peru and Chile and San Domingo and Costa Rica," '" Colonel Harvey demanded, before at tempting to foist everlasting peace upon the Balkans? Have we no vital problems within our own boundaries crying for solution?"
 Recalling "a precisely similar alli- anCe that came into existence in 1S43,' D Colonel Harvey quoted Daniel Web- ster's speech, in which he opposed the preservation of peace 'by bringing the power of all governments to bear upon all subjects"
 Have times so changed" he asked, that we owe it to humanity to toss our cherished republic into a melting pot, to be mashed into a pulp of in ternational socialism,"
 Colonel Harvey also opposed the pro- gram of mo indemnities' for the United States. asserting that for the United States to refrain from collect ing the nearly S30,000 100000 the war cost. would be tantamount to a 'vol- untary contribution to the war fund of Germany"

U. S. REMOVES BAN ON
 INTERNED GERMANS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-All restric- tions on Germany enemy aliens, except those applying for entry into and de- parture from the United States, and those affecting the power of intern ment, were ordered removed today by Attorney General Gregory, effective Christmas day. This action was taken on cabled instructions from President Wilson, and will affect about 500.0o0 German men and women.
 It was explained that the department of justice would continue to exercise the power of internment of dangerous German enemy aliens, and that the or der would not affect such aliens al- ready interned.
 John Lord O'Brian, special assistant to the attorney general, explaining why Austrians were not mentioned in the order, said that the only regulations ever applied to t.eem were those with reference to entry and departure and internment. The effect of today's ac- tion is to place Germans and Austrians on the same footing.
 Approximately 250,000 Germans would be relieved from the necessity of carrying permits for entry into re- stricted area while the prohibited areas from which they were excluded absolutely, would again be open to them. These were the District of Co., lumbia, the Panama Canal zone, and all water fronts.
 Internment is continuing, MT. O'Brian said. to Germans having been interned on Saturday and six more today. It was feared unofficially at the department of justice that between four and five thousand Germans have been interned since the United States entered the war

 BIG AID ID ALLIES

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-Edward R. Stettinus, second assistant secretary of war, an American member of the inter allied munitions council formed for unifying allied shipments of war supplies and artillery to save ship ton mage, returned today on the steamship Cedric. MT. Stettinus, who was for merly partner in the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co, has been abroad since July and will return to Europe about January 15, after making a report to the war department.
 The. unification plan, Mir. Stettinus said, was very efficient and successful, adding that if it had been devised sooner, much time and money would have been saved the allied govern ments. Much of the material. he said. was shipped knocked down to England and France and assembled when it arrived on the other side.
 Regarding the reconstruction work in France, he expressed the belief that the French would do a. great deal more for themselves than most outsiders believed possible. While the devastation had been terrible. he said, the French people already are show ing a spirit of hopefulness and an en- ergy that is amazing in a nation which has suffered four years of war. Bel gium, he believed, was in unusually sore straits and would need consid- erable American aid.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
 WINS DECISION OVER
 INTERNATIONAL NEWS
Brandeis Dissents - Two Justices Deliver Brief Opinions-Five Support Associated Press Conten- tions - Unfair Compe- tition Agreed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-The su- preme court of the United States sus- tained today federal court decrees re- straining the International News Ser vice from pirating news Of The As- sociated Press.
 Five members of the court. includ- ing Chief Justice White, concurred in a majority opinion, delivered by Asso- ciate Justice Pitney, upholding the principle of a property right in news and the complaint of unfair compe- tition, and refusing to interfere with injunctions specifically prohibiting the International News Service from pi- rating by:
 Bribing employees of newspapers to furnish Associated Press news before publication, for transmission to the defendants clients;
 Inducing Associated Press members to violate it's bylaws by permitting the defendant to obtain news before publication; and, by
 Copying news from bulletin boards and from early editions of Associated Press newspapers. and selling it either bodily or after rewriting.
 Two minority opinions were deliv- tAtd- aSSO1ldlc JuSllNt us sented entirely, declaring that while the injustice of the use of unearned news matter by a competitor was ob vious, the defendant had acted with out misrepresentation, and he regard ed the majority opinion as laying down a dangerous opinion which might re- suit in the denial to a great number of people, of news that only The Asso- .in faI I that there should be legislation to pro- tect the public rights.
 Two Delivered Brief Opinions.
 Associate Justice Holmes delivered a brief opinion in which he announced that Associate Justice McKenna joined. holding that fraud on the part of the defendant in palming off the complainant news as it's own, consti- tuted the only ground of action, and that without legislation the only rem edy to be applied was to grant an in- junction requiring the International News to credit to The Associated Press all pirated news used, within a certain number of hours after publi cation by Associated Press papers.
 Tt is a, question of how strong ap infusion of fraud is necessary to turr IidNOl lHtO pOisOlif Sd1u Holmes. "The dose seems to me to be strong enough here to need a remedy from the law"
 With Justice White, Associate Jus tices Day, Vanderventer and McRey- holds joined in the majority opinion delivered by Associate Justice Pitney It was announced that as Justice Clark, a newspaper owner since Ions before he went on the bench had taker no part i'll the case.

The lights then were flashed on, and a member of the crew, attired as Santa Claus. distributed the discharges, which had been approved by General Pershiug before the George Washing ton left Brest. and by the war depart ment by wireless.
 According to Major W. H. Unversu, the Indiana men were "keenly disap- pointed" in not getting into the fight ing.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-Under cross ex- animation today, J. Louis Engdahl, editor of the American Socialist, who with four others is on trial before Judge Landis, charged with violating the espionage law, admitted that he had never printed a line in the paper which might have aided the govern, men in the successful prosecution of the war.

It concluded with the inquiry: How much longer will women continue to swap their husbands and sons for a gaudy piece of cardboafd?"
 Assistant District Attorney Fleming referred to sections of the St. Louis socialist convention anti-war platform cartoons, on the horrors of war. and certain pamphlets which had been printed in the America Socialist. and asked: Do you think that the pub- lication of these things in your paper after this country had entered the war, was calculated to help the government in successfully prosecuting the war?'
