dore Wolff, editor in chief of tho Ror
lin "Tageblatt," is now pronouncedlv
pro-British. He advocates in tho
"Iageblatt" an entente between Emo
land and Germany commercially. finan-
cially and politically. He asserts that
England can work in Russia throucb
Germany and that Germany can oncn
up Russia to the British.
Count Reventlow, formerly one Of
the most violent pan German leaders
and once strongly anti-American.. is
now an ardent advocate of pro-Amer-
icanism. He takes the attitude that
Germany's salvation commercially,
financially and politically lies in help
from the United States. He maintains
that Germany should not unlock Rus
sa to England. but to the United
States, and that in Russia Germany
and the United States should cooperate.
in return for which America might per
nit German interests to work through
American channels in other parts of
the world where the German activities
would not be in competition with the
United States. Revcntlow is said to
be supported by some of Germany's
big industrial interests.
Privy Councillor Bergman, one time
partner of Edison, who employees 1000
workmen, is quoted as saying: eve

tee by Great Britain and the United

BUENOS AYRES, May 1.-Vigilance

Carries, president Of the league, Social
lst and anarchistic organizations had
appealed to him for protection against
the league, which had posted warnings
that Ii would forcibly suppress any
Maximalist disorders. The President
asked what the league intended to do.
"With or without authority" DR..
Carries answered, "the Patriotic League
intends to end anarchistic efforts to
break down the civilization of Argen-
tina. 1t intends to prevent all demon
strations by anarchists"
This morning the league sent one
civilian, one army officer and olic naval
representatives. to each of the forty
three police districts. Each district
chief was told that the three men "rep-
resented the army, navy and public,
and intended to see that you do your
duty to-day. The league has 1000
armed civilians subject to call and TO-
900 more have been enrolled and are
ready
With the organization Of these vigi-
lance committees there appeared a seri-
GUS effort to eliminate anarchistic agi-
tations, which have been moro or less
serious for more than year. Eight
hundred agitators have been arrested
recently and the police have a list of
1600 more who may be taken into
custody at any time. Wednesday night
machine guns were hidden on the roofs
Of the government buildings and Other
vantage points and provincial troops
were placed about the docks and rail
way yards. 1t Is understood these pre-
cautions would not be lifted until after
Sunday.
Dr.. Carries said to-day that, begin
ming Monday, the league would start
breaking up all known meeting places
for anarchists. He has told the So
cialist leaders that the league does no,
oppose Socialist or labor dcmonstra-
tions, provided the anarchistic elc-
rnents are eliminated. He personally

League, Disillusionn1ent
General Expressions of Disappoint-
ment Are Heard on All Sides "a
World League Is Held Inadequate
By Frank H. Simonds

PARIS, April 30.-Two days have
passed now since the plenary session
at which the covenant of the league of
nations was adopted. In that time |
have talked with scores Of persons who
were present or whose opinions would
otherwise be interesting, and the
single clear impression, as disclosed
for those who were present and for
others, is the clear sense of tragic
disappointment and equally manifest
disillusionment.
1t is necessary for a moment to re-
cali the circumstances of that session.
When President Wilson had completed
his statement the voices of Japan, of
Belgium, and of France were raised
in immediate protest, while the vacant
place of Italy was even more eloquent
testimony to facts as they were.
Realized War
Still Was Raging
Moreover, for those who were pres
ent there was consciousness that
while the Paris conference was thus
adopting the covenant Of the league of
nations, which carried with it no power
to enforce its decisions, actual war was
raging from the Gulf of Finland to the
Crimean Peninsula; that the Ruman-
ians and Bolshevists were fighting on
the Dniester; the Rumanians and Hun
garians along the Thesis; the Poles
and Bclshevists on the front from
Wilma to Pinsk, and the Jugo-Slavs
and Italians were facing each other
in arms on the shores of the Adriatic.
In the session itself the atmosphere
was unmistaka Bile. Core spondents of
journals of countries all over the
Allied world equally testified to the
same impression Of disappointment.
While the formal phrases of the cove
nant were adopted there sounded in
the ears of those who heard these
phrases the guns of a score of armies
still fighting on European soil, and
there was in their minds the realiza-
tion that one Of the great allies had
