T.. s. Soldiers From
Russia Among 2,043
Baltic Brings Home

The White Star liner Baltic, in yes
terday from Liverpool, brought ninety
nine officers and 1914 men, chiefly
from the Winchester Casual company.
Passenger list inclsded twenty-three
soldiers from the 339th Infantry, who
were landed at Archangel in August
and who aprticipated in the repulse of
Bolsheviki forces.
Among the men from the Russian
campaign was Charles f. Senzik, of
Detroit. He described the Bolsheviki
as a queer lot," who did not know
tthe first principles of warfare. He
said they would have been beaten to
a frazzle if the days in Northern
Russia had been longer.
"He saw little of the sum-" he said,
"and when we got bit of it the
cloudy skies soon shut it out and it
was generally dark throughout our
campaign. We finally got the Bolshe-
Wiki forces on the run and drove them
to Baakreatza.
"Our casualties were light because
we were not up against real fighters
and We did not have enough daylight
in which to hammer them. We were

Lost Within Austrian Lines
Another traveller on the Baltic was
Lieutenant Camille de Carlo, of the
Italian Aviation Corps, who was lost
within the Austrian lines a few weeks
before the last Italian offensive. Hs

his airplane adrift, then, dofing hi!

Warns That U. S. Has Re-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. - Dissen-
sions among the Allies, and the posi-
bility of the United States Senate re-
Jecting or amending the peace treaty,
were solem My held up to President
Wilson and the peace commission to-
day as possibilities resulting from any
attempt to force action at Versailles
on a league Of nations of the freedom
OF tire seas, in speech in the Snate
by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, leader
of the Republicans in the upper House
and next chairman of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee.
Senator Lodge declared that five of
President Wilson's fourteen points.
which the President said in his brief
statement as to why he was going
abroad, had heen accepted by both the
Central Powers and the Allies, are
questions which may lead to division
among the nations which have con-
qucred Germany. These are the first
four points and the fourteenth. and

Senator Lodge placed himself outside

He referred to the "strange devel

before the House naval committee on
the biggest navy in the world, navy
as large as England's by 1925 Mr..
Lodge reviewed his own record on the
navy-that of consistent and fairly
succo ssful fighter to have it enlarged -
but said the Badger programme was
unnecessary.

Austria Said to Have Urged
Americans, French and

PARIS, Dec. 21.-Zurich newspapers
to-day printed Vienna dispatch car
rying the report that the Austrian gov
ernment, "in order to avoid fresh dis
turbances," had asked the Allied au-
thorites to occupy the Austro-Hun
garan capital. The sending of French,
British and American troops for this
purpose was requested.
VIENNA, Dec. 19.-Popular indigna-
tion over the general conduct of the
war, especially the brutality, AFRO
gance and incompetence" displayed by
the highest Austrian military com
manders, found expression in a resolu-
tion adopted by the German Austrian
National Assembly to-day, demanding
the appointment of a commission to
investigate the cause of Austria Hun
gary's military collapse.
In the course of a vigorous debate on
the grave charges advanced against
high officers, it was declared that
members of the imperial family, re-
gardless of age or military capacity
were given commands with the most
disastrous results. A field marshal
who commanded an expedition against
Serbia was denounced as responsible
for the death of thousands whom he
drove to slaughter, insufficiently NUM-
toned, fed and clothed. Some of the
deputies declared that he ought to be
hanged.
The most intense hatred against the
entire body of officers is developing
among civilians. These officers are ac-
cused publicly Of wholesale thefts dur
ing the war, of living luxuriously and
permitting their wives to wear costly
jewelry, while the masses starved.
The Vienna newspapers urge the in
vestigating committee to begin work
before the commanders implicated are

Lodge Warns Senate
Can Reject Treaties

Senator Lodge opened by declaring
that the United States must not lose
in the terms Of peace the fruits of
tie great victory which the armies
OF the Allies and the United States
had just won. He said the share of
the Senate in making the treaty Of
peace was large and of decisive i'm
portance, that it had the right to offer
the Executive advice, whether invited
OF unasked, and that it was of great
Importance "that those concerned in
the actual negotiation of the treaty
should at least know the views of the
Senate SO far as the Postmaster Gen
cral, in control of the cables, and Mr..
C,eel, in control of the news, will
permit the opinion of the Senate to be
transmitted to Paris.
"In the present unparalleled situa-
ticn," he said, "the right of the
Senate to advise as to @ treaty be-
comes solemn, an imperative duty.
We cannot compel information, but
we are abundantly able to make our
twn opinions known not only to the
President, but to the Allies, who have
very clear and even acute idea Of
the power of the Senate in regard to
treaties. They must know that the
Senate can reject and often has re-
jected treaties. Others the Senate
has refused to ratify and held with
out action Many others have been
vitality amended.
"The Allies should not be kept in
! the dark as to the views Of the Senate
nor should the Senate keep silent as
to its own opinions or as TO the wishes
and demands of the American people.
"The plan seems to be to project
upon the Senate the most momentous
treaty ever made without any informa-
tion as to the steps which led to it
or as to the arguments and conditions
which brought about it's adoption.
This scheme, which is indicated by all
theory that the Senate, although pos
/ sessing the power, would not and could
not dare to reject a treaty of peace.
This unworthy calculation is perhaps
sound in practice. and yet l have seen
a peace treaty bitterly opposed and
ratified. after the exertion of the most
powerful influences, with only two
votes to spare.
"But if treaty of peace might not
be rejected it can be debated and
amended, and can conceive of extrane-
Gus provisions wholly needless for a
peace with Germany being unwisely
added, provisions whlch would surely
be stricken out or amended, no mat
ter how many signatures might be ap-
pended to the treaty. Protracted op-
position and amendments mean long
delays, and delay Is only less un-
fortunate than rejection. All these
untoward results can be avoided il
the Senate frankly expresses it's views
beforehand on certain leading points
for the consideration of the Allies anC
of the President himself.

Hindenburgg's
Guard Plan
New National Army Is Ex-
pected To Be Stronger
Than Old Organization

LONDON, Dec 21.-The German gov
ernment has accepted Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg's plan to form a Peo-
ple's Guard, or National Army, accord
ing to a Copenhagen dispatch to "The
Daily Mail" 1t is said that the Ger
man army, under this plan, will be
stronger than ever. AZ officers have
received instruction to Keep the details
secret Women will be employed for
auxiliary services
Although the German army lost
greatly in killed. wounded and prison
ers during the last few months of the
war, both in the German offensive from
March to June and in the victorious
Allied counter offensive, the armistice
terms did not include rehabilitation OF
the German army, which is virtually
intact, except for the few units that
have already been demobilized. The
surrender Of thousands of guns, vast
ammunition dumps and the aerial fleet
however, has left the German army in
an extremely weakened condition. No
authoritative figures regarding the
numerical strength of the German
army at the time of the signing of the
armistice are available.

PARIS, Dec. 21-During the past
week Paris dispatches have recorded
receptions and acclamations to Presi-
dent Wilson which have been truly re-
markable, causing at least one member
of the American Peace Commission to
exclaim: at is evident that President
Wilson has the people with him.
But this commissioner may have
been somewhat intoxicated with popu-
larity, for he rode three successive
days through long lines of biue-coated
French warriors, behind whose ranks
French crowds, densely packed, raised
wave of cheers that swept along with
the carriages from the beginning to
the end of their route
The observation of another Ameri-
can, who is an equally able judge, be-
ing editor of one od the most infiuen-
tial and reliable weeklies in the United
States-a man who stood in the crowds
is equally worth quoting. He said
that the French populace undoubtedly
regarded Mr. Wilson as a statesman of
a peculiarly superior character, rarely
known among them, but that this did
not necessarily mean that the French
oeople would accept from him propos-
ais of lenient treatment for Germany
Await Concrete Offer
From President Wilson
That gives an indication of the ques-
tion absorbing the diplomats of forty
nations now assembled at Paris;
namely: Is Mr. Wilson ready to offer
a concrete. practical and acceptable
application of his world-renowned gen
eral principles? For the time of gen
eralities is past, and the tine for ap-
plication has come. The programme of
toasts and compliments is finished and
the labor of the conference is at hand.
Dress clothes are now discarded and
overalls put on for the stern business
which Henry White called appalling.
A Europe afflicted with disorgani-
zation hitherto unknown is waiting
upon single American philosopher
who hitherto has taken an objective
view of this continent and now finds
himself amidst its chaos, faced by sew
eral scores of statesmen representing
many different and some conflicting
interests. All of them are trained in
statecraft, having accumulated knowl-
edge at first hand throughout period
of years, while the President acquired
his knowledge in Washington since, in
effect, taking over the Office of Secre-
tary of State from William J. Bryan.
