CUMMINGS LAUGHS
AT SOLDIERS LEAGUE
Not Impressed by Lieut.-Col
RooseUelfs Movement.
special DespatcA TO Tun srX.

DETROIT, April 12.-Homer s. Cum
mings. chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, who was in Detroit
yesterday to meet the big men of the
Michigan Democracy. does not take very
seriously the movement in which Lieut.
Col Theodore Roosevelt is the moving
spirit TO organize the soldiers of the
country.
1T rs to laugh" was his sole and
sufficient comment upon this agitation.
AS to Democratic success in the ma
tional election in 1920 Chairman Cum
mings has no doubt. Here are his
reasons:
1.-THE incoming Congress is Republican
and it will have to abandon the pro-
gramme of criticism and turn its at
tention to constructive measures. Ger
tain steps have already been taken
which would show that harmony is not
possible in the Republican majority in
the incoming Congress. The elements
are essentially irreconcilable. The pro-
gressive element will be so fretful under
the standpat domination of the ultra
conservative group that we are certain
to have radical differences and general
breakdown of the legislative programme.
1t takes a great architect to build a
beautiful structure, but any one can
throw mud at It.
THE first thing that indicates Demo-
cratic success is the absolutely certain
incapacity OF the Republican Congress
to carry out a constructive programme.
As time goes on that incapacity will be
strongly contrasted with the really great
! achievements which have been brought
to their fulflment under the leadership
of President Wilson.
THE Democratic record for the last
six years constitutes a miracle OF legis-
lative progress"

The characterization campaign was

In January 1918. At a meeting in the

the building at 419 West 117th street as

Would welcome Intervention.

Two brigades of British and American
troops despatched without delay would
be sufficient TO put down the movement,
and IL at the same time the Entente an
nounced unequivocally that the returned
aristocracy and wealthy refugees would
not be permitted to take undue revenge
Il am certain the mass of people would
welcome Intervention. while the effect OF
such a setback to Bolshevfsm would be
enormous in all neighboring countries.
One thing is obvious, that the present
situation cannot continue indefinitely.
An informant who Is in a position to
know estimated that by April I. $780,
600, 600 kronen (normally $4,000. 000)
worth of gold and silver trinkets al
ready had been confiscated, and that
process of spoliation was daily continu-
ing. The system OF communizing houses
Is leading daily to grossest abuses, and
unprotected individuals are exposed tc
the insults and threats of DULLES. School
teachers who do not conform to the
policy of the Government are to be
avicted from their posts.

measure of revenge against the non
