The Devil is concededly no gentle
man, but, if compelled to make a
choice, who is there that would not
prefer his company to that of the
Huns who killed babies, mutilated
boys and ravished women in Belgium
and France? The German Junker's
"frightfulness" leaves big black
mar spot on the civilization of the
Twentieth century. The Junkers and
their policy of "frightfulness" did not
represent the Industrious masses of
Germany, and that class of the Ger
man people may exterminate the
Junkers before order is restored in
that country. ~

In his talk at the banquet in honor
of President Wilson, King George said
that the American people Speak the

In the main we do, but we have added
few words and phrases that would
make Shakespeare and Milton scratch
their heads and look around with a
expression on their
faces.-Arkansas Gazette. f,t

Consider Giving Armed Aid.

Consider Giving Armed Aid.
The third consideration is the ques-
ton of extending armed aid to the
forces within Russia which are openly
fighting bolshevism in the field.
OF all the courses suggested 1t
would appear that the last mentioned
Is the least favored, certainly by the
United States, and it seems also that
the first named is attracting much sup
port. The recent agreement Of the fac
lions in Poland Is looked upon by some
observers as a step in this direction,
the assumption being that 1t was
taken in the belief by Poland that the
associated governments might consider
the sending of some armed forces IN
the plan of building wall around
Russian bolshevism so as to cut 1t on
from western Europe.
Watch Hun Food Situation.
The food situation in Germany also
Is being kept under close scrutiny In
the same connection. The latest re-
ports available through agents who
have inst returned from the Rhineland
support the view Of Herbert G. Hoover
that in this territory there are food
reserves sufficient to last the people
until March, but that the supplies IN
other parts of the country are
smaller. "
AS President Wilson is convinced
that the people of all the recently
liberated countries must be fed If they
are not to be in danger of lapsing
into bolshevism, and has asked con-
gress to advance money for feeding
them, it is considered evident that the
provisioning problem continues to oc-
cupy prominent place In the discus
sions now going on.
The plans for the league Of nations
are continuing to develop and 1t is
deemed not improbable that the con-
ference will get to its first full discus
sions of that subject by the end OF
this week. a...
Owing to pressure of more urgent
problems before delegates to the peace
congress, various economic delegations
are studying, each for itself, the
blockade and kindred problems.
1t is proboble they will inaugurate
ioint discussions during the coming

mates a certain relaxation Of the ear

would allow the entry Of foodstuffs, H.

hermit the restoration Of distributing

cies involved in the preparation Of

Paris, Jan. 22.-The peace confer

under active and continued eNamina-
ton, while the plans for the league
of nations are being fast brought into
shape and were expected to be taken
under general consideration for the
first time when the supreme council
of the conference reassembled.
The latest information available was
that all the associated governments
were prepared for the presentation OF
their memoranda on the Russian sltua-
ton, in response to the call for them
issued last Saturday!
President Wilson has in hand the
memoranda on the subject prepared by

lowed those presented by NJ. Noulens,

Ready for Decision.


After the conference had heard such
reports as are available from men who
have first-hand information on Rus
sian conditions and has considered the
memoranda from the various govern
ments it will attempt to reach some
decision as to what unified action may
be taken to deal with the situation.
In the general informal discussion
which is taking place outside the Sc
crecy of the peace conference which
may be assumed to reflect the views
being expressed within that body, the
considerations given first place are be-
lever to be whether to attempt to build
wall or establish quarantine around
bolshevik Russia through giving assist
ance in the setting up Of governments
in the independent states surrounding
the maximalist territory, or whether
to attempt to relieve conditions In Eu-
ropean Russia, which relief many
statesmen believe would remove the
cause Of bolshevism.
