GREAT BRITAIN
DEMANDS ENTENTE
STATE INDEMNITY
Indefiniteness of Sum to
Be Asked Criticised
BY Press
NOT LIKE BUSINESS
Germany Should be Told What She
Must Pay Instead of Making
Amount Indefinite
NOT LIKE BUSINESS

LONDON, May 16-Although the
British Press is elated at Mr.. Bonar
Laws announcement that $25,000,-
100000 indemnity is not all Germany
will have to pay, but will be only
on account, there is general crit
icism apparent at this uncertain, un-
business-like method.
1t is contended that definite figure
must be named, OF else later conflicts
with Germany will be certain; that
Germany is entitled to know the total
amount she must pay.
The Manchester Guardian says that
to ask a man to sign bond for an
unknown amount is bad business on
both sides, and that it must not be
in the power of the ensuing Allied
administrations to fuctuate Ger
many's debt according to fancy.
Other newspapers join in the de-
mand that the Peace Treaty specify
the exact total Germany must pay, in
stead of making it an indefinite
dllOullt, CONSIllS IWU SCiCA1elolio'
Mr.. Bonar Law threw little light
uponlth the Significance of the bonds
Germany is going to issue as security
for her Indebtedness. German bonds,
it was declared, surely are not secu-
rity, unless they are marketable. 1t
was added that there was no ikeli-
hood that such a vast amount of
German bonds would find purchasers,
even if offered at heavy discount.
1t is not likely that these bonds will
be negotiable unless America and
England back them up, thereby as
suming the responsibility of main
tanning conditions that will make it
possible for Germany to redeem
them.
The Manchester Guardian asks if
this is the Allied intention. eff so,
why not announce it," it asks adding:
"Have the Allies left this in the same
shape as the rest of the reparation
scheme-vague and indefnite?"

Two Men in Great Crowd at
Station Threaten Him
With RevOIvers
WITH PEACE
Premier Passes Off Affairs and Greets
Welcoming Throng Bowing and
Smiling

WARSAW, May 16-A Bolshevist
attempt to assassinate Premier Ignace
Jan Paderewski was made here Sun
day when he returned to Warsaw
from Paris.
Premier Paderewski's return from
the Peace conference was the occa-
sion for mammoth demonstration in
his honor, and when he and Nine.
Paderewski stepped from their car at
the Vienna station, thousands of
Poles were there to welcome him.
AS the Premier and Nine. Paderew-
ski emerged from the railway station
and were about to enter their auto
mobile, two men standing near them
suddenly shouted in unison:
"Down with Paderewski!"
At the same moment they drew re-
volvers and at close range tried to
shoot the Premier. Before they could
level their weapons, however, a score
of men pounced on them, beat them
to the ground and disarmed them.
Before the gendarmes could rescue
the two, the crowd, realizing what
had happened, fought their way to
them and beat them numerically.
One of the men is young Jew
named Isaac Hablum. The other is
we'll known locally as a Bolshevisr
and is Pole.
The whole affair was quickly over
and in a minutes time Premier Pad
erewski again was smiling and bcTire
his acknowledgment vi the warmth
and enthusiasm manifested in the
greeting accorded TO him.
Despite the incident, this was, in
deed, Paderewski Day in Warsaw.
For him the whole city turned out.
Not long ago it was for General Hal
Ter, bringing home the army from
France. A little later it was for
General Joseph Pilsudski, returning
home from Wilma, conquering hero.
Sunday it was for Paderewski, and
in crystal-clear sunshine and with
bands playing and flags waving,
thousands of people packed the
square in front of the railway sta
ton to welcome his return to his own
people after weeks of labor in the
peace conference.
The Premier went before the Diet
on Tuesday and told of his mission to
Paris, explaining in detail just what
the peace conference granted to Po-
land.

Ideals of Lenine-TrOtzky
Fully Carried Out
Prove 1t
PEOPLE AGAINST 1T
Lenine and Trotzky Fear Intervention
for They Know They Would
Be Powerless

PARIS, May 16-By curious play
of circumstances, the nature of which
cannot be Indicated, an authentic ac-
count of the position of the Bolshe-
visit rulers in Russia, the accuracy of
which Nikolai Lenine and Leon
Trotzky themselves could not truth
fully contest, has been received.
Lenine still pins all his hopes to
the possibility of bringing about a
Bolshevist revolution and establish
ing "a dictatorship of the proletar-
lat" in the western European ,coun-
tries and the United States. In a
conversation with him and his in
Inmates, he comedies that no reliance
is to 10 placed on the Red Army or
organization, the maintenance of
which has been a tour de force on
the part of Trotzky.
Lenine relies for success on an
army of another kinda propaganda
ist army, as he calls (which is
marvelously organized and supplied
with unlimited funds. He has agents
working in all the Allied countries,
though its chief center outside of
Russia is Stockholm. He hopes that
the operations of this army may
speedily bring on general revolu-
tion and dislocate capitalistic society
throughout the world.
In Russia the situation varies
greatly-according to the degrees of
famine in various regions. At Pet
rograd the whole population, reduc-
ed from some 100000 to less than
100000 is rapidly starving and is,
for that reason, sullenly anti-Bolshe-
vik.
The exodus from the city, form
erly encouraged by Lenine, has been
stopped by the Red Guards. Those
of the middle class who remain are
in even worse straits than are the
workmen. The physical condition of
the people is so bad that, for in
stance, in the hospitals, no opera
tions can be performed because the
wounds do not heal.
There is, however, no likelihood of
a spontaneous revolt against the
Bolshevist rule because the inhabi-'
tants are too near starvation and too
lifeless to be a match even for the
handful of Red Guards with machine
guns.
In the country districts, where the
peasants still retain some secret
stores of corn, the situation is less
acute, but apathy is just as pro-
nounced. The Russian mujik has re-
verted to conditions of the stone age,
wearing skins for clothes and covering
his feet with wisps of straw. The
peasants detest Bolshevism as much
as the urban population does, but
are incapable of organizing active
resistance to it.
Thus the Bolshevist regime stands
because there is nothing to over
throw it. Lenine, Trotzky and other
associates live in daily terror of
foreign military Intervention, against
which they know they will be power
less. Their sole purpose is to gain
time until revolution abroad can
come to their assistance.

Allies Have Documents
Proving Plotting Is
Going On
EYES ARE ON POLAND
Noske Orders Munition Factories to
Work Day and Night to Turn
Out Ammunition

PARIS, May 16-The German adj
mission of defeat is only partial. They
say Eyes, on the western front we
were beaten, but on the eastern front
we were victorious" There they in
tend to remain victors.
The junker element which stands
behind the German Government will
fight tooth and nail rather than
abandon Posen and Upper Silesia,
particularly the latter province, where
Germany drew, before the war, one
fourth of her hard coal, three-fourths
of her zinc, something like a tenth
of her iron and steel, and one-fifth of
her potash.
Germany has been making prepar-
ations to retake those provinces from
Poland, counting on the absorption
of the Allied nations on peace inter-
ests to paralyze the action of the
League of Nations when the Peace
Conference has broken up and the
present organization of the Allies for
bringing pressure on their enemies
no longer exists.
If there were any doubts about the
intentions and preparations of the
German Government during the last
few months they must be removed by
the perusal of three secret documents
which have come into the hands of
the Allied Governments.
The first is confidential circular
signed by Gustave Noske, Minister of
National Defence, and dated Febru-
ary "a of this year, ordering all state
