Seen in Anti-Red Plea

driev, the famous Russian author and
revolutionist. under the title, "Save
Sinking Russia" addressed to all $50
cialists, liberals and thinking people
of the world" IS made public by the
Russian Information Bureau:
"The Allied invitation to meet the
Bolsheviki at Prinkipo is either mad
ness or treachery toward Russia, diff
fering from Judas treachery only in
its immensity. If it is not Judas
treachery, it may be Pilates washing
of hands when Russia comes to her
cross. We know who these Pilates are.
~ appeal to you, Frenchmen, Eng
lishmen and Americans, | appeal to
all of you, individually. l appeal to
you, Americans, who yearn that the
torch of your Liberty should cast light
on Europe. Come to us! Look and
you will cry out with horror, and curse
those deceivers who brought tyranny
to the freedom craving Russian people.
my last appeal is to you, writers Of
all nations! Support my prayer for
those who perish. I appeal to those
Of you who write with their blood and
nerves! Help us! Don't you under
stand the danger confronting mankind
Help Russia Act immediately"

Acquittal of Villain
Stirs Debate in Paris
Socialists, Except the Former
Leader Herve, Cry
Injustice
Mem York Tribune
.Suaci1L Cable S>r,,,c.

Copyright. 1919. New YORK Tribune Inc.)
PARIS, March 31.-The acquittal of
Raoul Villain, the slayer of Jean
Jaures, has aroused an interesting de-
bate. The Socialists, naturally, are
crying out that justice has not been
done, though Gustave Hervc, the
former Socialist leader, who later be-
came a passionate advocate of the war
on Germany, is an exception in the
general chorus. Herve contemptuous-
ly lists the Socialists leaders of to-
day, Thomas, Renaudel, Longuet and
Cachin, with the Bolshevki. adding:
"And these are the intellectual and
moral successors of Jaures! How could
the jury fail to acquit Villain for the
pleasure of slapping the master on the
cheek of his disciples ?"
The Figaro" thinks the acuuittal
can be explained by the reaction of the
jury against the excessive laudation of
the victim. The paper says:
"They tried to get the jury to coun-
tersign an apologize to the former chief
of the Socialist party. They made this
case-as we pointed out on the eve of
the proceedings affair of political
parties. The three-year military law,
the orders Of Joffre to conduct cam
paign for preparedness - everything
was discussed.
"Jaures alone had foreseen every
thing and could have prevented every
thing. He was a great poet, a great
historian, great strategist, a great
patriot and the greatest glory of
France. The jury was not duped 1t
asked itself for what political ma
n9uvres the courtroom had been hired
For six days it was willing to listen,
but would not submit If the parlia-
mentarians, who have two palaces of
their own, had left justice quietly to
adjust itself the verdict would per-
haps not have turned so clearly

Labor Newspaper i'll Eng.
land Asserts Lenine Has
Been Grossly Slandered

LONDON, March 31.-Pubiication by
"The Daily Herald the new Labor
newspaper. of d report that those in
power in Russia had made comprehen-
siyc peace proposals to the Allied and
associated powers, caused no stir in
diplomatic circles in London to- day
Those in a position to speak authorta-
lively on Russian affairs say that if
such new proposals were made they
will doubtless be considered as not
being bona fde, as have been other
proposals or feelers put forth by
Premier Lenine.
Coincident with the publication of a
New-York tribune., 1919-04-01

grad newspapers arrived in London to-
day. In the Northern Commune" a
Soviet publication, Zinovieff, the dicta-
tor of Petrograd, and represented as be-
next to Lenine in power, is quoted
as again referring to the proposals
as not bona fide. After stating that "wc
would promise to give the Allies TWEEN
ty-or even forty-billon rublcs,"
Zinovieff said:
Treaty Would Be r Sham
"Our Russian counter rcvoutionists,
Miliukof, Savnkoff and Tschakovsky,
understand very we'll that our conces
sion to the Allies is purely of sham
character. That is why they try to
persuade the Allies not to conclude
peace with the Bolsheviki, pointing out
that the Bolsheviki cannot give any
guarantees"
IinoveH is represented as vften
making undiplomatc statements when
warming up in a speech. On pre-
vious occasion he said that any peac
the Bolshevik could make with the
Allies would be "a scrap of paper" and
repetition of the brest-Li!ovsk peace.
"The Daily Herald's" editor, George
Lansbury, declares that the Allies have
received proposal for an understand
ing with the present rulers of Russia
and intimates that the conditions of
that understanding are the withdrawal
of Allied troops from Russia and the
abandonment of the policy of interfer-
ence in Russian affairs. Russia, on her
part, would be willing not to Interfere
with the affairs of other nations. allow
Finland, Esthonia, the Ukraine and
other republics formed from the hygone
Russian Empire to choose their own
forms of government, and to pay Rus
sia's international debts.
Says Lenine Is Slandered
The writer minimizes stories of out
RACES by Russian revolutionaries, de-
claring that such happenings have been
less frequent than in other revolution
on a similar scale. He AYERS that
Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevik Premier
and Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik Min
lister of War and Marine, have been
"outrageously slandered," and describes
the present administration of Russia
as "clean and uncorrupt." The reorgani-
zaton of industries is proceeding
everywhere in Russia, Mr.. Lansbury

Churchill, in a Ringing An
swer to Critics, Says That
65O,OOO Men Are Needed
to Fight Back Chaos
Sees Bolshevist Menace
Asserts the British Soldiers
Are Welcomed by People
as Preservers of Peace

LONDON, March 31.-Thc House Of
Commons to-day passed the third
reading of the military bill by vote
OF 282 to Cd, after strong criticism of
the government on the ground of
wasteful expenditure and violation of
election pledges to abolish conscrip-
ton.
Winston Spencer Churchill, Secre-
tary for War, made a vigorous reply
to these criticisms. He described the
broad bard across Europe from the
White Sea to the Caspian as shoulder
ing or afiame through Bolshevik at
tacks, and declared that Germany and
Austria were likely to slide into hope
less anarchy or form a military alli-
ance with the Bolsheviki.
Replying to arguments that there
was no national necessity for the bill,
Mr.. Churchill declared that Bolshevist
armies were attacking along the whole
front in Europe and that various little
states were in direct peril. Could it
be said, he asked, that Great Britain
had no interest in seeing the world
coming to a peaceful settlement? The
moment the Allies divested themselves
of their military forces they would be
powerless to exercise the slightest in
fluence on the course of events all over
Europe.
How Troops Are Distributed
The approximate distribution of
troops, the Secretary said would be as
follows: In Great Britain, 176,00O; in
France, 10000; army on the Rhine
$4,000; in Italy and adjacent regions,
Mr.. Churchill added, there would be
10000 men. in order to~adjust the la
mentable differences which had arisen
between Italy and the Jugo-Slavs. He
said:
1--WE are keeping small forces of
British troops there in many localities
where the troops of no other nation
would be welcome. We have been
asked to do this in conjunction with
our Allies, because it has been found
that these troops could prevent trou-
bles between the local populations
merely by their presence during the
period we are trying to settle things.
Soldiers Keep the Peace
In the middle east and the Cau-
casus there were $4,000 men and he
hoped that tney might be substantially
reduced in the near future. These
troops had been there to expel Turks
and Germans and we're there now
merely to keep the people from flying
at each others throats until decisions
had been reached at the peace con-
ference.
In Mesopotamia Great Britain had
10000 men. After emphasizing the
smallness of the number of troops
actually in Russia, Mr.. Churchill said
that if Russia did not exist the bill
would still be necessary In North
Russia and Siberia there were some
thing like twenty thousand men, out
of a total of $4,000 British troops,
comprising the contemplated army of
occupation in the various areas during
this trying period. From these $780,

Chile Repudiates Pact
To Lease German, Ships

SANTIAGO, Chile, March 2s.-Ger-
many has surprised the Chilean
government by pretending to con-
slider valid the negotiations which
Chile entered into for the leasing of
the German ships interned in Chile,
which are soon to be handed over to
the United States in keeping with an
agreement reached at the peace con-
gress. The Chilean government an
nounces that it does not recognize
the contract because it was never
completed
In the spring of 1918 Chile began
negotiations with Germany to lease
the German vessels, but dropped the
negotiations in September after the
German crews of the interned ships
had attempted to destroy them. The
attempt to damage the ships came
while Germany apparently was still
willing to negotiate for their lease.

Accused as "Defeatist" Aids

The trial of Senator Humbert is an
other phase of the prosecution of those
accused in connection with the de
featist" movement in France. The
names of Humbert, Bolo Pacha and
Former Premier Caillaux were con-
nected in the disclosures made by
the French authorities and all were
arrested. Bolo was tried and executed.
Caillaux is in prison awaiting trial.
When the Bolo disclosures were made
Humbert was owner of "Le Journal"
and vice president of the army COM
mittce of the French Senate He was

March 20, 1918, Humber: was ordered
by the Paris courts to return to Bolo
Pacha 5,500,000 francs which we're used
in the purchase Of "Le Journal"
Was Cleared of One Charge
Humbert also was accused of COM
muncating the contents of two docu-
ments relative to national defence to
the enemy, but these charges were dis
proved by an investigation completed d
last January 10. On February q the
military governor Of Paris asked that
the Senator be prosecuted for having
used his influence to have the army
purchase certain airplane motors in
which he was interested.
Lenoir, Ladoux and Desouches were
arrested as a result Of the investiga
ton Of the source of the money used
IN purchasing the controlling. interest
in "Lc journal" Ladoux was formerly
