ALLIED MEDIATION
IN RUSSIA NEARING
Critical Situation Certain to
Force Intervention, Is
Foreign View.
RIVAL FACTIONS FIRM
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

By wireless.
PARIS, February There is little
doubt in the minds of European states
men that q new plan of solving the
Russian problem is necessary if this
| eastern menace is removed and lasting
agreements effected by the peace con
ference. Though the bolshevists are
reported to have agreed to go to
Princes Islands to meet the allied en-
voys, the other Russian governments
are still adamant, refusing absolutely
to enter any parley with the elements
which disemboweled living Russians.
| When asked il the allies would meet
only the bolshevists at Prinkipos an
American peace commissioner de-
clared:
/ IF we did not send delegates after
our invitation it would be rather hard
on our guests"
| If this is a true reflection of this
Wilsonian view contest with the
European powers to the bitter end
is certain, owing to the deadly fear
of spread of the bolshevist doctrine.
All are convinced that if the Russian
governments are not represented at
| the parley it would only give chance
to spread world sedition.
Summarizing the dangers in Russia,
high French statesmen told me:
| The war is not ended. True, our
armies are in Germany, but an even
greater menace lies in Russia The
situation is truly critical"
That allied military Intervention is
near. along with economic and finan-
cial aid to the better elements in
Russia, is believed certain among the
statesmen of Europe. though the ma
jority regret the failure to reach set
Elements by other methods.

Presidents Trip Justified.

1t is a great pity in Paris, as it is
a great handicap in national conven-
tions. that the machine politician is
in evidence and doing his job In a
sense 1T is pity that the preliminary
reports of the conference, like those
of a convention, must be replete in
this kind of detail, but if one ex-
aggerates 1t in either case one loses
the proper perspective and adopts a
dangerous cyniciSm.
The fact to which return over and
over again is that the coming of Mr.
Wilson to Europe coincided with the
great general human aspirations for
a new order in the world, and that
Mr.. Wilson's coming gave new vi
tality and force to this yearnifig. And
in its new form this popular senti-
ment or popular emotien is too power
ful to permit the politicians with
their little tricks to put them over.
but until the real test comes and an
appeal is made to this popular senti-
ment. the. politicians will continue to
seem in charge.
AS factor in the matter of making
peace. and just peace, do not think
the Syrian episode is worth passing
notice, because do not believe it
will go nine innings, or even i've:
but have chosen 1t as an example
OF the sort of thing that is going on
to cause suspicion of temporary BIT
terness between the nations and 20
cloud ones view OF the truth as It is

when first questioned Wan persist
ed in the claim that he left Washing

say. He said he boarded PennsyI-

leaving at that time.
He said Ben Sen WI, whose guest
he was at the mission house, accom-
panied him to the train; that they

INACCURACIES IN ALlBIS

The police have tightened the coils
sufficiently in the triple Chinese muir

formal arrests win be made within the
next twenty-four hours.
There are few complications in this
case now remaining. Lately devei-

More Witnesses Sought.

The superintendent of police made IT
plain today that there are numerous
inaccuracies in the alibis offered by
the two men already examined. and 1t
is because of this fact that more wit
uesses are being sought. More IMAM
half of the latter are not in Washing
ton.
The police also are anxious to have ave
babits of Ben Sen WI, the youngest
of the three Chinese mission victims
who were murdered Wednesday night
of last week in the mission house at
2023 Kalorama road.
At any rate. the police no longer
look upon the triple murder as mys-
terry 1t is now only a matter of OBJ
tanning sufficient evidence of sub
stantiai and convincing nature. the
police contend. 1t has been settled as
a surety that the motive was rob-
berry. They are confident that the
crime was committed Wednesday
night between the hours of and 1
o'clock.

Marshall gave forceful utterance to this view
in recent public speech.
Mr.. Marshall pointed out that if the prin-

law that the ruler who starts war and fails
10 win that war must pay with his own life
Tor the blood he has spilled and for the
anguish he has caused, there will be few if
any, men in the future who will assume the
risks involved in taking up arms And it is
evident that the peace conference entcrtains
some such views as expressed by the Vice
President. That conference refused fatty and
absolutely to grant immunity 10 William
Hohenzollern or to any of the other brutes
who surrounded him in his decision TO make
a conquest OF Europe. The Germans pleaded
until the last minute for some modification
OF this term in the proposed treaty, but those
pleadings fell on deaf ears
