URGES JUSTICE
 FOR AMERICA
French Deputy Makes Strong Protest Against
 Nationalism.

Paris, Feb. 17-Under the caption, Let us be just to America Deputy Maurice Damour in Le Journal a strong protest against the national ism, exasperating as it is ridiculous of certain of my fellow countrymen, which, if allowed to go unchecked, is likely to alienate our most devoted and most trusty friends.
 There are" he continues" French people who keep repeating to our friends that if the armistice is con cluded on bad terms, if the German troops return with colors flying. if their defeat is not sufficiently brought home to the Germans, it is because our practical, resolute realism clashes with American idealism. They de- clare that this is the same idealism which is preventing Lenine and TrOtzky and the Bolsheviki generally from being crushed, which makes the work of the eminent diplomats assem- bled in the Quai d'Orsai so incoherent and which is keeping in the back ground the questions of indemnities, separations, and territory
 Tt is time" adds NJ. Damour, Ito put a stop to this babble, which is ere ating a serious misunderstanding be- tween America and France-two O countries which have everything to gain by a closer and closer union."

SPRAGUE co.
 GETS DAMAGES

Judge Greene of the Superior Court has decided in favor of the Sprague Ice & Coal Co.,, plaintiff, against John B. Kennedy, the de fendant, and has awarded the ice company the full amount due as shown in the bill of particulars of s5,- 167.SS. The plaintiff claimed that he had delivered ice to Kennedy who was at that time acGng as the re- sponsible head of the New Haven Volunteer Ice committee. Kennedy denied that he was personally liable for the ice or that he ever ordered it.
 The court. however, was convinced that the defendant knew that the ice was consigned to him personally and might have expected that it would be charged to him; that he exercised ownership of the property and that he is now estopped from denying lia- bility as he induced the plaintiffs to part with valuable property with the belief that he would pay for it.
 This case has been in the courts since the summer of 1913.

CIRCULATING B0L LSHEvIST
 PROPAGANDA Leaflets Distributed to U. $. Soldiers on Russian
 Front. BOLSHEVIKI
 INCREASE FORGE Trying to Destroy Morale of New Russian Conscript
 Soldiers.

Archangel, Saturday, Feb. 15-(By The Associated Press)-Since Febru- ary II the BoIsheviki have made no attacks against the Allied forces on any sector of the Archange1 front. Allied airplanes which are continual ly aloft, report that there has been no new movement of troops behind the enemy lines since the BoIshevik withdrawal south from Sredmakren- ga-
 While the cessation of attacks has been coincidental with the Bolshevik offer to attend the Princess islands peace conference, their offensive was checked by the American and Al lied troops. The Allied military leaders do not believe the Bolshevik acceptance of the invitation to the conference caused the Bolshevik in activity of the last four days.
 Commenting on the Bolshevik message of acceptance the Nozrosh- denie Zievra, (the resurrection of the north), says:
 From the note of Minister Tchit- cherin. It appears clearly that the Bol- shevIki are ready to sell Russia at auction. They intend to arrange this nlCGly aL the TIlCeS lSldllNS.
 The Bolsheviki are increasing their forces to destroy the morale of the new Russian conscript soldiers as well as of the American and British troops. Bo!shevik propaganda, well written and printed in English, has been dis tributed mysteriously among the var ious Allied units. Leaflets distributed in villages on the Omega front, where American forces are operating, call upon the American soldiers to organ ize soldiers committees and demand of the officers that they be returned home, as the war with Germany is over and there is no reason for re- maining in Russia. While there has been no appreciable effect, because of the Bolshevik propaganda the Allied soldiers are looking forward to soma settlement as to what the Allies intend to do with the force here.

SENATOR OWEN SAYS BREST NOT
 FIT TO LIVE IN Many of Soldiers There
 Are Suffering From Melancholia.
TOO MANY MEN TOO FEW SHIPS
Urges They Be Brought Back to This Country As
 Soon As Possible.

New York, Feb. 17-United States
 Senator Robert L. Owen, of Okla
 homa, who for the past two months
 has been studying the reconstruction
 program of the American army in
 France, upon his arrival here today
 on the steamship Rotterdam said:
 ''Brest is not fit for cattle to live in."
 Many of the soldiers there are suf-
 fering from melancholia, he said, add
 ing that he would recommend to the Senate Military Affairs Committee 1 that they be brought home as soon as possible and that every care be given
 them when they return.
 There are too many men and too few ships" at the debarkation camp according to Senator Owen, who said that "despondency and homestckness are evident wherever one goes off cers are doing their best he added ito cope with many difficulties One major committed suicide while I was there. The government must organize l employment bureaus and get these
 soldiers back into civil life as quickly as possible.
 Senator Owen, who is chairman of the Senate Committee on banking and currency and his wife, who accom- panied him, attributed much of the trouble to bad climatic conditions in Brest. They said they saw American soldiers standing in rain and mud for hours waiting to get their food. Per sonally they could not themselves find even a place to sleep.
 Senator Owen said the first thing he intended doing was to inform Sec
 retary Baker of the conditions and the attitude of the soldiers on com | ing home from what he called "a horrible hole" He declared that any one who advocates a correction of conditions Is doing a charitable and Christian work. They told us over there Brest is better than it was If that is so God help those who were i there when it was worse." Mrs. Owen confirmed all her husbands state- ments.
 The senator and Mrs. Owen who had visited London, Paris and Mad | rid, and who contemplated remaining | longer abroad, cut their visit short. | they said, in order that they might report to Washington the deplorable conditions existing at Brest" The trouble over there," said Mrs Owen, ''is that they order men from
 place to place when some of them
 nre unfit to travel. Thousands of these men have been piled into Brest before the ships are ready to take
 them aboard. It is rainy and misty there almost every day the men are i crazy to get home, and the weather conditions aggravate their homesick- | ness"
