question frequently put in speaking OF

States last week centered in Chicago,
where William Hale Thompson was
reelected mayor. despite his wretched
war record. His victory gives his fac
tiOn commanding position in the Re
publican affairs of Illinois, according

of trying TO obtain for him the nomi-

no other aspirant for that honor is

From far-off Abyssinia comes news
of two revolts against the government,
one headed by grandson of King Jo-
names ii, who died in 1889, and the
other by the governor of Dediazmach,
wherever that may be. 1t is said the
Abyssinian government will send
delegation to Paris to ask for the ad-
mission of the country to the league
of nations. Spain also has announced
its adherence to- the league when it is
constituted.

When the matter of the Rhlneland
was taken up the effect of the German
protests again was evident. Ii was
virtually decided that there shall be
no buffer republic on the left bank Of
the Rhine. but that that region shall
be neutralized and policed by allied
troops until the indemnities are paid;
that the Saar coal basin shall not be
allotted to France, but shall remain
under German sovereignty. though its
products shall go TO the French for a
certain period of years. II is presumed
that French and Belgian troops would
hold the left bank of the Rhine, since
the British have insufficient forces for
the purpose and America does not
wish to leave any soldiers in Europe
after the treaty is signed. King Al
bert of Belgium went TO Paris last
week, probably TO discuss his coun-
try's share in this occupation. He
called on Colonel House and President
Wilson.

Official Russian wireless messages
that came from Petrograd Thursday
may change the Russian situation ma
terially. They told of an anti-bolshe-
visit strike of the railway and trans
port men which had stopped communi-
cations and prevented the city from
getting any bread. Other dispatches
said the mensheviki and social revolu-
tionaries had actually started revolt
against the bolshevik regime and that
Lenine and Trotzky had come to a
definite break over the formers insist
ence on some sort Of treaty with
England, France and the United
States. TrOtzky, of COURSE, holds the
military control, and he is regarded as
in a stronger position than Lenine, es-
peclally so long as he can provide his
troops with sufficient food.
Interesting if not important is the
intercepted wireless message from
Tchltcherin, Russian foreign minister,
to Bella Kun of Hungary, saying:
"The revolutionary movement GER
tainly is gaining in America. Ameri-
can newspapers say the states of New
York. Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois
and Michigan are especially impreg-
mated by bolshevlsm. A riot has taken
place In Philadelphia, which certainly
must be attributed to bolshevist infiu-
ence."

BY EDWARD w. PIckARD.

Prodded by the public opinion OF
most Of the world and particularly by
the insistence OF President Wilson,
the peace delegates in Paris speeded
up their work last week and really ac-
complished something. Mr.. Wilson, II
was reliably reported, told them that
II results were not forthcoming soon
he might reveal to the public the real
causes of the delay, and just before
that he issued statement denying
that the discussions over the League
of nations were to blame In that re-
spect. No one nation, said MIR. VIII
son, was solely to be blamed for hold
ing up the peace treaty. but dispatches
from Paris make IL fairly clear that
many of the bitches bave been due to
the disparity between what the French
demand and what the Americans,
sometimes backed by the British, are
willing to impose on the conquered
Germans.
IL present indications go fer any
thing. those same beaten Huns are
going to come out of the peace con-
ference in fairly good shape. The big
Four" last week concerned themselves
mainly with the major questions Of
reparation, the west bank of the
Rhine. Danzig and the Italian frontier.
Unofiicially, Germany has been taking
part in the conference, and its argu-
ments. presented by public officials.
the national assembly and the press,
seem to be having decided effect.
Though France still asserts that the
Huns should be required to pay the
last penny that can be got out of
them, and in this are supported BY the
public opinion of most of the civilized
world, the peace delegates. Influenced
apparently by the American represen-
tatives, have been scaling down the
amount of indemnity more and more
until the prediction now is that it will
be less than $20.000,O0O How
Germany shall pay and how long
time shall be given her proves so COM
plicated question that II was consid-
cred probable last week that all that
will be left for decision by a commits
sion after peace has been declared
Germany has gold reserve of more
than S5O0,OOO,0O and likely part OF
this will be demanded as a cash pay
ment to be disbursed in the devastated
regions of Belgium and France.

The lnfrequent communlques Of the
peace conference are about as inter
estlng as excerpts from an almanac,
and less Informative. One bit Of news
was given out-the fact that General
SHUTS had been dispatched TO Hun
gary to study the situation there. This
did not please the Paris press, which
saw In II only another delay. II had
been hoped that General Mangin
would be sent east to deal with the
Hungarians. Official advlces from
Budapest were to the effect that the
new soviet government was establish
ing itself and maintaining order, and
that II was disposed to make large
concessions to the allies In return for
food and fuel. II was supposed
SHUTS would open negotiations for
an amicable agreement. Bella Kun and
his associates insist their government
is communistic rather than bolshevis-
tic. The fact remains that Kun is in
constant communication with Lenine,
whose secretary he formerly was.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1919-04-10

The allied delegates also were said
to be considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of
coming to an understanding with the
Russian soviet government and per-
hitting II to get food and materials.
This. Lenine says, Is all he wants; IL
II is granted his government can make
good. and then the allies can recognize
it If they wish to. He declares he is
willing to make peace without includ-
ing Hungary in the pact and will then
cease fighting and stop propaganda
work In other countries. All this, IL
was reported, sounded good to the
peace-makers in view of the threats of
Germany to form an alliance with Rus
STA or to allow itself to Ego bolshevik"
II the terms of the treaty should not
be to their liking. Meanwhile the
soviet troops of Russia were very busy
jor operations on all fronts as soon as
the weather permitted. They began a
rather formidable invasion of East
Prussia and were met there by Ger
man army which has been organized
by Won Hindenburg. They continued
their operations in the south and made
repeated and heavy attacks on the
allied forces in the Archangel region.
There. however, they had little sue
cess. But that the northern Russian
situation is considered serious by the
allies is evidenced by the fact that the
British government announced that re-
endorsements would Immediately fol-
low the American troops then on the
way to North Russia.
