who has just returned TO London from
the abortive conference at Bern where
he hobnobbed with the German delegates,
a speedy peace based upon the American
formulas Is the only antidote to the pol
son of Bolshevism. which he says Is eat
ing it's way into the European organism,
destroying Russia, injecting Germany
and slowly communicating Great Britain
and France.
Mcdonald was accompanied by Noel
Buxton. pscifist member OF Parliament,
and talked with several correspondents
at the headquarters of the American
delegation. He described central Eu-
rope as n great plague spot from which
the disease OF Bolshevism was spreading
over the whole of Europe and summed
up the result Of the meeting at Bern in
the words, Let us get a peace first. y
After that, he asserted. It will be COM
paratively easy TO get the necessary Sc

Bern persuaded him that the extensions
OF the armistice had disastrous effects

to Mr.. Wilson Tuesday asking that

Mr.. OKelly saw Herbert Hoover, who
said the President, had not been able to
examine Mr.. 0'Keliy's communication.

surprise that the Lord Mayor Of Dublin
had not received reply to his letter

IAN unfortunate MISUNDERSTANDING
The Nationalist press sug sests that the
Sim Fein. which hitherto relied on Its
ability to induce Mr.. Wilson to bring the
case of Ireland before the Peace Con-
ference, is beginning to lose faith In him,
The Roman Catholic Bishop Of Killaloe,
DR.. Forgartie, In a letter to-day says
For the honor of America let us hope
this much lauded man may not turn out
to be as big humbug as the rest of
them"
Another correspondent says Ireland
has been lavish In praise of Wilson be-
cause of the views he expressed on the
right of self-determination OF small ma
tions, but he does not seem DESTROYS of
putting his academic phrases into prac-
tlce.
One Nationalist paper of Ulster coun-
sells the people to stop talking and writ
ing nonsense about Mr.. Wilson's as
sumed breach OF faith and to work on a
really practical plan ito utilize Mr. Will
son and the Peace Conference for all
they may be worth to u.s.

| The atmosphere of Berlin still is laden

This doctrine Is preached in the news
papers, In thousands OF posters, at pub
lie meetings and in speeches and by
every means possible until one OF the
foe appears and shows he means busi-
ness; then the Germans Immediately
crawl down.
In contrast with the large estimate;
of Germany's military strength which
have been forthcoming from some mys
terious source is the statement Of Mat
thias Erzberger, the German armistict
commissioner made to Marshal FoCh a.

entire German army numbers only 200,'
600 men. OF whom only little NOR,
than half are reliable.
Erzberger declared that the German
army had been demoblized too rapidly
and at present was too small to act a,

he Is no more reliable than the othel
Germans, this statement agrees sub
stantially with information received from
