comedian. Trading on his former repu-
tation as an exiled idealist and man OF
letters, he issues decrees instituting a
system of education based on Tolstofs
principle and publishes articles in the
soviet press expounding elevated theor-
les and exhibiting a most tender solici-
tude for Russia's youth. All this is to
hoodwink unsuspecting pedagogues and
win the sympathies Of simple minded
enthusiasts in foreign countries.
There are no longer any school books;
not because the bolsheyiki are opposed
to their use, but for the simple reason
that the old school books are considered
counter revolutionary and the depart
ment for public instruction has been too
busy issuing DEGREES and instructions to
teachers to publish new ones.
Religious instruction, of course, is
strictly forbidden and even conversations
on philosophical and moral subjects are
regarded by the soviet authorities as
counter revolutionary and prohibited.
This prohibition is particularly fiendish
because co-education in absolute liber-
ty" as instituted by Lunacharsky, must
inevitably lead, in a primitive country
like Russia, to revolving conditions if

peace treaty, explanatory of the six
points raised by the Germans. reads:

Weimar, Sunday. June 22.-(By the
Associated Pressl.-Germany acquired
new cabinet only after nearly week
of literal sweating in Weimar. The sign
in of the peace terms was the only
question around which the cabinet con-
struction hinged, and the government,
which was on record as considering the
terms unacceptable, found surprising
following behind them.
The first party ballots. however, seem
ed to make signing inevitable for the
powerful majority socialist party voted
two-t thirds for signing.
With the Independents supporting
them. the conservatives as party be-
hind them. and the centrists on the
fence the result appeared a foregone
conclusion.
Fears of a Revolution.
Rut the conservative swung around
and declared for mons signature: the CEN
trists wavered and imposed conditions.
and the democrats baked any hope Of
majority by persisting against the ex-
tradition by the entente of the former
emperor and other notables.
This was the stumbling block, for
the democrats were not tn be budged
from the attitude to which they held
through a forelorn pride IN the FORMER
war lord and the belief that a revolution
would break out In protest by the peo-
ple should Won Hindenburg, Ludendorff
and other idols be humiliated.
To Make Goat of Bernstorff.
Cout Won Bernstorff played a promi-
nent part in the proceedings, not only as
president Of the German peace COM
mittee, but, according to rumor, as the
nossible successor of Count Won Brock
dorff -Rantzau head Of the German peace
delegation. for there WAS powerful
group that wanted him to suffer the
poetic Justice Of signing the terms after
he had helped to bring the United States
into the war.
Won Bernstorff. however. resisted.
and. after having been appointed in the
| morning to the cabinet, refused to accept

with the matter.

mand for modifica ion Of the terms and

democrats weakened to such an extent
that 1E Of their 65 members went over

Paris, Saturday, June 21.-
BY The Associated Press)-A
Neimar dispatch reaching the
American peace delegation to-
lay said a decision had been
cached by the Germans to ask

rats and centrists found they
lad a majority in the assembly

Belief was expressed, today,
hat signing Of the treaty would
take place Wednesday,. There
seemed to be no inclination to
grant the Germans a delay, al
;ho it was recognized that if
khere was no German govern

would be inevitable.
With regard to whether the
allied troops will move forward
if an affirmative answer is not
received at 5 p. m. Monday, some
of those in authority favor send

Destruction
Of Hun Ships
Was Forecast

London. June 22.-Arthur Pollen, ma
val expert, in an interview in the dis
patch regarding sinking of the Ger
man warships in Scapa Flow admires
the spirit of the Germans in sinking
their ships rather than to allow them
to pass into enemy possession.
The article recalls that a writer in
an evening paper recently practically
prophesied such destruction. This writ
er emphasized the ease Of secreting
demolition charges in a modern warship
adding many pople in the navy believe
the ships left Germany with dynamite
charges in position and that when the
decision of the peace conference was an
nounced the Scapa Flow would be the
scene of big pyrotechnic display
Commander Kenworthy, NJ. p. told
the Dispatch it was the easiest thing
in the world to sink ship by opening
the Kingston valve or removing the
condenser covers.
"The story is remarkable" said Lord
Svdenham. Explosives could not have
been used as they are believed to have
been removed assuming that the King
not sink in less than five hours. Loss
of the ships does not matter but it is
annoying that we were outwitted."
Commander Bellairs, NJ. z. declared
that no watch from the guard boats could
have prevented the scuttling of the ships
and that therefore the sailors there are
not to be blamed.
THE admiralty is reported" he de-
clared "for they made the armistice but
did not think of the terms. The only les
son is that the first case of police work
for the league of nations has been un
successful and that the German remains
true to the type
Admiral Sir Percy Scott, interviewed
by the Sunday Times, regards the sink
ing as something to be expected.
ut serves us right he said. "for
trusting the Huns. They showed thruout
the war that they were not civilized
race and they never ought to have been
treated as such: they are barbarians"
The Weekly Dispatch says that ac-
cording to an officer who visited the
German fleet last month the ships when
they arrived in Scapa Flow were search
ed for explosives but not stringently.
'"The public will insist upon the dis
closure of the blunderer, or blunderers,
whose egregious actions was so synically
abused" says the Weekly Dispatch in its
editorial comment. "As the ships were
in the custody of the British navy as
trusty for the allies searching investi-
