Bavarian Delegates to As
sembly at Weimar De-
mand Intervention.

Berlin, April 11.-Bavarian dele
gates to the national assembly at
Weimar today, demanded national
intervention against the Soviets, on
the grounds that Spartacan agita-
tors fiocked to Munich and over
threw the government.
The Bavarian Socialist govern
ment is confident. however that
the blockade drawn about the
Munich communists will soon starve
them into submission.
Meanwhile the Soviet movement is
cropping out in other parts of Ger
many. In Brunswick strikers held an
open-air meeting at which plans were
laid for establishment of Soviet re-
public. Baden radicals also are advo-
eating communism. Twenty-Five per-
sons were killed in Dusseldorf last
night during an outbreak of Sparta
cans. A number of delegations from
Munich were arrested
Miners in the Ruhr district have
reached a compromise with the own
ers. through intervention of Minister
of Labor Bauer. They will not insist
on six-hour day, but will receive an
increase in wages.

Japanese Seize
Jews Plea to
Ask Race Rights.

Paris, April II.-There is a
curious and extremely interest
ing alliance here between the
Japanese and the Jews. The
Jews ask that the league of ma
tions shall include stipulation
for complete religious tolera-
ton. The British and Amcri-
cans support this.
Japan has seized on the sug-
gcstion to ask:
"Why not equally complete
federation for coiors."
The Japanese are determined
to compel a definite answer to
their demand for race equality.
The Washington herald., 1919-04-12

Paris, April 1.-THE last round in
the fight for the league Of nations
was on tonight at a session OF the
commission dealing with the revision
Of the covenant
The question OF questions is-now
that the Monroe doctrine is specifi-
cally safeguarded as a result Of last
nights neutrality-suspicious. the Japan
ese demand for a special clause on
race equality will prove the one
stumbling block on which the whole
scheme may be wrecked. The gen
eral feeling here tonight is that It
will not.
May Not Insist.
One OF the japanese delegates. when
asked whether he and his associates
would press their demand. said: We
have not yet made up our minds as
to whether we shall see the matter
through before the commission or
wait to present our case 10 a pIenary
session. or even defer it untiIr the
league is actually in session, and then
press it"
From this it may be inferred Japan
does not propose TO maintain an un-
compromising attitude in the matter.
Though Geneva has been selected
by the commission as the temporary
home of the Ieague-a decision which
is subject 10 the ratification Of plen-
airy session-the ma jority OF the COM
missions members intend to urge that
the initial session OF the league be
held in Washington next October when
a big labor conference is also sched-
uled to meet in the American capital.

land, confiscated in 1915.
Mclean said he believed Carranza

might possibly have frightened" the
Mexican chief.
He said, that. of course. Great
Britain could not send a warship to
Mexico, but that he believed "if the
United States would send some of its
new ships into the Gulf of Mexico and
let their shadows fall on Mexican soil
it would greatly clarity the situation" !"

SAYS CONGRESS-
WILL APPROVE
LEAGUE TREATY
Senator Hitchcock Says
Changes Meet Objections
To Covenant of Nations.
SENATOR LODGE SILENT
Republican Leader Declines
To Comment Until He
Sees the Text.

Senator Hitchcock, Of Nebraska,
chief spokesman for the administra-
ton in the league OF nations contro-
versy, expressed himself yesterday as
being very greatly pleased with the
changes in the league covenant which
are reported to have been made in
Paris.
In the Senator's opinion the modified
covenant will prove to be acceptable
to more than a majority of the Senate
and ratification of the treaty and the
covenant will follow very shortly af-
ter the Congress NETS.
The changes which are said to have
been made" Senator Hitchcock said,
will not only protect our Monroe
Doctrine, but will meet the objections
of those who have been opposing the
league. am not at all surprised that
the document has been modified along
the lines Indicated
Lodge Refuses Comment.
Il thoroughly believe that the Pres
ident will bring the league covenant
and the treaty with him and that they
will be ratified promptly by the SEN
ate"
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
the Republican leader, declined to
comment upon the changes or upon
the probable action OF the Senate
with respect to the league covenant.
II want to wait until the text of the
treaty and the league constitution are
before me-" he said. There is moth
lug I can say at this time, because
we do not know whether the changes
which are said to have been agreed
upon will be final For that reason it
Is better to wait. What may be
agreed upon today may be set aside
tomorrow"
Senator Reed. Of Missouri. one of
the bitterest opponents of the league,
is quoted in a statement yesterday in
Springfield, Mo-, to the effect that If
clause specifically providing that
the Monroe doctrine shall not be af-
fected has been agreed upon the
efforts of the opponents of the league
have not been in vain.
IF the critics have only brought
about that amendment their time has
been well spent" Senator Reed said.
Administration supporters generally
are well satisfied with the situation
as affected by the reported amend
ments. They believe that this action
will bring about a melting away of
the opposition and that no difficulty
will be experienced in obtaining rat
ihcation of the league proposal by
the Senate. They look to see some
of the strongest opponents change to
the other side and give their votes
to the league.

Lodge and Knox Joined in support
ing the league. although it is gen.
orally believed that Borah. of
Idaho, and Reed, of Missouri, will
oppose it to the end.
There is no denying the fact that
the sentiment OF the country, as
reflected in the correspondence of
the Senators. is strongly in favor
Of some sort of organization which
presUpposes the prevention of fu-
ture wars. Senators who have
been holding out for a reserva-
tion of the Monroe Doctrine .un-
questionably will find it hard to
go counter to this sentiment il
the Conferees at Paris have agreed
to put such a reservation in the

PRESIDENT GETS
MUTINY REPORT
FROM OFFICIALS
Facts Also Sent to Secretary
Baker and Action Is
Expected.
CONGRESS WILL ACT
Situation Is Expected to
Hasten Return of Troops
From Russia.

Complete news of the mutiny of one
company of American soldiers in
Northern Russia has been cabled to
President Wilson, and any kction
tending to remedy conditions there
among American troops will either
have to come from him or Secretary
of War Baker. The latter is now on
his way to Europe.
Meantime Congress is preparing to
take action to get at the bottom of
the Russian mystery.
There is no question that as soon as
it meets a demand for a thorough in
vestigation will be made and that the
Senate Military Affairs Committee, or
the like body in the House, will do the
investigating
What They Want.
Congress wants to know three
things about the participation of
American troops in Russia. They
are:
l. Why were they sent?
2.Who sent them?
3.Who commands them?
The War Department, it was learn
ed yesterday, has had news of the
Russian mutiny for several days, but
it was not given out until a press
dispatch limiting at the facts was re-
ceiyed.
When the Senate opens up its in
quiry, Senator Hiram johnson, of Cal
ifornia, who introduced a resolution
last session demanding knowledge of
why American troops were in Rus
sia, is expected to lead the fight on
tho veil of secrecy which has en-
veloped both the ArchangeI and ST.
berian expeditions since their landing
on Russian soil.
Morale Is Bed.
Peace delegates are considering a
proposal for allied evacuation OF
Northern Russia. removing also 90
600 to 10000 loyal Russians and
leaving the country to the Boil
sheviki. it was stated in an official
quarter.
The refusal of some of these
troops to go INTO front line trenches
has not been unexpected. it is
known here.
The morale of all the allied forces
in North Russia is exceedingly bad.
That of the British is generally
rated best, the Yanks second. while
the French morale is understood
to be very bad.
A graphic account of conditions in
Northern Russia has been written by
an American soldier. C. B. Knight, a
corporal of headquarters company
339th infantry. This is the regiment
that forms the bulk of our expedi-
tionary force in the North.
Written shortly before Christmas
at a time when the armistice was
more than forty days old and fight
ing had ceased on the Western front
it gives more than an inkling of the
way the Yanks near the Northern
Lights felt about fighting a country
with which their own was not at
war.
