NO YANkS TO RUSSIA
LLOYD GEORGE GIVES u. S. POL
ICY TOWARD ANARCHISTS.
Declares America will send Neither
Men Nor Money Finds Problem
Of "Reds" Is lnsolvabIe.

London, Feb. 14.-f troops are to
be sent into Russia, who shall send
them? Premier Lloyd George on
Wednesday, in another speech in the
house of commons on the general peace
situation, asked the foregoing ques-
ton. America, he said, would send
neither men, money nor material, and
the work-if determined would
fall upon the British and the French.
LMr. Lloyd George in this referred
to real and effective intervention, dis
regarding the small allied forces now
In Russia.J
Mr.. Lloyd George said that repara-
ton by Germany was the election
pledge given BY the government after
careful consideration by the cabinet.
The grave difficulties over Russia
found no solution in Mr.. Lloyd Georges
speech.
He declared there had never been
any proposal advanced att the peace
conference to recognize the anafch-
lists. Russia, ne said, was easy to
dogmatize about but difficult to deal
with. He admitted that the horrors
of anarchism were so great that there
was a sense Of disgust when it came
to dealing with its leaders.
The anarchists, the premier con.
tinued, were assassins, guilty OF the
crimes laid to their charge The al
lies had given the antianarchist gov
eminent financial support and assist
ance. Much of their equipment had
been supplied by the allies, who were
anxious to keep the rich territories OF
Russia out of German hands.
The anarchist machinery in Russia,
he said is ruthless and brutal, but
there is no doubt about it's efficiency,
and it is the only machinery there.

his speech at Berne.
Eisner said the Germans did not

politics outside Germany. The Ger

what extent tie allies considered the
German revolution pure comedy, and

Chancellor Warns That Germany
viii Be a Menace if
TrampIed.
WANTS CENTRAL AUTHORITY
Declares Era of World Domination ls
Over and Urges Maintenance Of
the Wilson Program - Red
Hecklers Drowned Out.

Copenhagen. Feb. 1.-THE German
government on Sunday night accepted
the allies terms for an extension of
the armistice, according to a dispatch
20 the Politiken from Weimar.
Basic, Feb. 17.-Addressing the ma
tional assembly at Weimar, Philip
Scheidemann. the chancellor, said the
first essential of the governments pol
icy was maintenance of unity in the
nation by strong central authority.
Immediate restoration of peace
came next, which should be secured
by adherence to the program of Presi-
dent Wilson and the rejection Of
peace of violence
The program, he said, called for the
restoration of the German colonies and
the admission of Germany to the league
of nations with equal rights.
After reference to other points re-
lating to foreign affairs the chancel-
Tor outlined domestic and economic
plans. There would be a considerable
reduction in the period of service in
the new army to be created and the
troops now In barracks, including
the 1899 class, would be demobilized
Many reforms were planned, the
chancellor explained, including better
sanitation and housing. protective
measures for the young, the regula-
tfon of supply and demand in labor
and the development of agriculture.
~The era of world domination is
over, ;" said the chancellor, ''and no
power can. without let or hindrance,
risk the violation OF the equal politi-
cal rights Of ALL"
Urging maintenance of the Wilson
program the chancellor said : If that
program we're followed Germany
would be the fatherland Of all who
desired to be Germans, and that they
would be free Germans.
Germany trampled under foot, how
ever, would be as dangerous to all the
peoples of the world as the Pan-Ger-
mans had been.
Regarding cooperation of the nation
with the individual states the chancel-
Tor declared in favor of the principle
of unity in liberty"
Scheidemann's speech was effective
and the representatives of all parties
in the assembly listened attentively
and for the most part sympathetically
The independent socialists from
time to time interrupted the speaker
with sarcastic remarks or laughed
darisivelvs but the remainder of the
house hushed down these interrupters,
particularly one of the independent
socialist women members.
Herr Scheidemann gained the great
est applause when he declared Presi-
dent Wilson's program had been who'll
.ly accepted by the government and by
a reference to the retention by the al
lies of the German prisoners.
He sharply attacked the advocates
Of a minority dictatorship, upon whom
he laid all the blame for all the blood
shed in the early days of the German
revolution. The independent socialists
who entered the cabinet were, said
Scheidemann, cursed with inherited
sin against the spirit Of democracy

Committee OF Conditions.

Washington, Feb. 17-Success of the
anarchist movement in Russia was at
tributed to aid from the lower East
side of New York by Rev. G. A.
Simons, former head of the Methodist
Episcopal church In Russia, testifying
at the senate judiciary subcommittee
inquiry into lawless agitation IN the
United States
The witness also said the predomi-
mating influence on anarchist propa-
ganda here was the Yiddish element
of the East side. He explained that
he was not in sympathy with anti
Semitic movements, and that In stat
ing his views he meant to cast no re-
Election upon Jewish people IN gen
eral
Referring to anarchists, Doctor 81
mons said:
II have firm conviction that this
agitation is Yiddish and that one of
its bases is in the lower East side OF
New York. / don't think the an
archistic movement in Russia would
have been a success except for the sup
port it got in New York on the East
SIDE"
Doctor Simons said he now was hav-
ing investigated report coming to
him on apparently good authority that
the governing committee of the north
ern commune in Petrograd in Deem
Der, 1918, contained only 10 true Rus
slams, 265 persons from New York and
one American negro calling himself
Professor Gordon.
Discussing anarchist propaganda
in the United States, Doctor Simons
said he frequently visited the Rand
school of social science in New York
to buy its literature, which he de-
scribed as "some of the most seditious
stuff / have ever found" He added
that 10 out of 20 persons at this school
were Jews.
