TROTzkY SORE! CAN'T PAY CAGE
More Hostile To-

London. Jan. 9-Leon Trotzky, the
BoIsheviki foreign minister, is con-
WINGED that the entente governments
wish Germany to make an advanta-
geous separate ace within Russia so
Germany will agree the more willingly
to surrender what the allies want in
the west. according to the Petrograd
correspondent of the Daily News.
The foreign minister, who was inter
viewed as he was starting for Brest
LitovsS. said that Premier Lloyd
George had made a statement per-
hitting such an Interpretation. and he
spoke along the same lines as an edi-
toriaI printed earlier in the Bolshevilzi
organ, Pravda.
Not Influenced by Allies.
Premier Lloyd George. the CORES
pendent assured Trotzky. had never
made such a statement. but the Boil
sheviki leader was hard to convince,
and said:
That is the allied policy" He
added that the attitude of the Boil
shevik would not be influenced by the
attitude of the allied governments, but
by that of the allied peoples
Trotzky was asked what hope he
himself had of a general acceptable
peace he repled tnAL IL was d11I1-
cult TO say because the Germans had
not yet been offered a chance to make
such a peace. but he was sure the
Germans must need it,
Many German DeserterS.
The Russian foreign minister quoted
German deserters as saying that the
Germans were unable to remove
troops from the eastern front in large
units. They were removing them one
at a time and the men knowing where
they were being sent. jump from
trains in attempts to escape He re-
iterated the story that $4,000 German
troops had deserted in the Kovno dis
trict. adding that the Germans cannot
get their own men to attack the de-
serters and are trying to reduce them
by starvation Asked what terms he
actually hoped to get. Trotzlxy refused
to reply. and said laughingIy:
If we were really logical, We would
declare war on England nav for the
sake of India. Egypt, and Ireland"
The Daily News correspondent pro-
tested that Great Britain made MOTH
ing out Of India, to which Tcotzl1y
replied:
Then give up being so a1truistic.

He Must Go to Court to Get
Money for Statue.
Bill Passed by Legislature IT.
regular, Brewster Holds.

Merren Gage must look to the state
supreme court for aid in his efforts to
collect $500 from the state for the
states share of the new Lincoln
statue on the state house square. On
advice of S. NJ. Brewster, attorney
general, Fred w Knapp as state audi
tor has refused to issue warrants for
money sought to be appropriated by
the 1917 Legislature. 1t is claimed the
money was sought to be appropriated
by concurrent resolution rather than
by direct legislative enactment.
When the plan to place the Lincoln
statue on the state house square. was
presented to the legislature, an effort
was made to appropriate $500 for
the purpose. A similar sum had been
provided by the citizens of Topeka.
Apparently the legislature passed the
bill providing for the appropriation.
But now the session laws show that
the appropriation measure went thru
as concurrent resolution. Under the
constitution of the state. the legisla-
ture cannot appropriate money by
concurrent observation-disclosures Brew
ster's holding that the money cannot
be paid.
Bill Passed Regularly
The legislative record of the appro-
priation shows it took the regular and
ordinary course of a bill. was passed
by boil houses on final roll call. was
mesSaged to the governor. signed and
carried thru the Legislature in the
same manner as an ordinary bill But
the measure was enrolled as a con-
current resolution. Therefore, the
trouble over payment. The money is
in the state treasury and Auditor
Knapp is ready to pay. but he doesn't
propose to give over the money with
out proper legal authority.
An effort to relieve the situation
will result in d friendly suit by Attor-
ney General Brewster against Auditor
Knapp. The supreme court I'll be
asked for IA mandatory writ of man
damus compelling the auditor to pay
the money. When the case is pre-
scented to the supreme court. that
tribunal will decide both to whether
the legislature really passed bill o.
d concurrent resolution, whether the
heading of a measure determines its
nature and its course, or whether the
character of a bill is determined by
it's suhjec- matter. The court will
also settle finally the question as to
appropriations thru concurrent resolu-
Il rs.
The case in the supreme court will
probably be filed some time today.

TWIN CITY NEWS

Yet our lips have too long been silent.
The conclusive proofs that we do not
owe our civilization to the English has
been accessible for ages. 1t has been
called as evidence by historians and
statesmen of other nations, and h is
time that we broke the strange spell
that has benumbed our tongues and
our faculties-time that we recognize
the duty of teaching our children to
cease praising foreign creations and
offer justice to our own. Let us, as
other men have said: Love the hon
CIR of Ireland we'll, but love truth even
better" An observance of that die
tum will impel our earnest striving to
place the truth where it will do it's
work for our race. We have not been
done justice by others because we have
not yet done ourselves justice, and it
is we'll to recall the judgment of an
Englishman, Sir John Davies, attorney
general of James L., who studied the
Old Irish laws and the Old Irish peo-
pie, and declared: "There is no ma
tion of people under the sun that doth
love equal and impartial justice bet
ter than the Irish! or will rest better
satisfied with the execution thereof, al
though it be against themselves; so
that they may have the protection and
benefit of the law, when upon just
cause they do desire it,
The Judgment of History.
The judgment of history has been
against us. We want this judgment
reversed. We have the incontroverti-
BILE evidence. Let the millions of our
race declare that their fathers and
mothers have been slandered; that the
unjustly, before a packed jury, and
before hostile judges, and let the
schools-the true court of appeal and
the old agency of Irish civilization
lay this evidence before the ber of
posterity, and the honor of the Irish
race and the truth of history will be
established beyond the power of hostile
reversion.
Appeal To the ParochiaI School
Authority.
Division Committees are urged to
arrange interviews with parochial
school authorities wherever there are
children of Irish parentage. Requests
should be made that Irish history be
taught in all classes. Offers. to pro-
vide books, prizes for proficiency, etc.,
are invariably accepted, and these Wis
it's have been, and will be, productive
of much benefit. State, County and
Division Chairmen of Irish History are
urged to communicate, and send re.
ports to,
Fraternally and sincerely yours,

OUR FALLEN BOYS.
Their Graves In France-Eleven In a
Row.

The Rev. S. Koralevski of Immacu-
late Conception church, South Chicago,

a touching and patriotic sermon in
which he said:
after dinner left the trenches and
made a pilgrimage to the graves of
the first Americans to fall on battle
field in France.
"The village where they lie is clus-
ings, somber and untidy, with manure
piles under the front windows all along
the single strejet. There was nothing,
apparently, to distinguish it from hun
dreds of other Lorraine villages. If
you were unaware of the American
graves there you would never see
them.

French graves were three years old
and some of the mounds under which
