group Of old Italian women and some
children gazing upward with express

the wonder Of the primitive mind,
gazing at n marvel of twentieth CEN

pressed. This group won the prize
for 1919 offered by the Katherine Lor-
Hard Wolf Art Club.

Again the object which gives the name

BOlsheviki And Poles
 Threaten Hun Frontier
Strong Boshevst Armies Stand Before Boarders of East Prussia-West Posen Subject to Strong Menace German 9th and 10th Armies Retreat Be
 fore Soviet Troops.

Berlin, Thursday, Jan. S0-(By the Associated Press) - Germanys east ern frontiers are most gravely threat ened by the Bolshevist and Poles, ac- cording to the TagebIatt, which gives the following report of the situation:
 Strong Bolshevist armies stand before the borders of\East Prussia, an irruption of Poles threatens West Prussia, and that portion of West Posen which is still in German hands is subject to renewed Polish menace, which means that the prov
 ince of Brandenburg also Is in dan ger. Russian Soviet troops occupy line from Libau to Kovno. The fort4 ress of Kovno is not yet in their hands, but the Bolshevists stand di- rectIy in front of it and have at their disposal numerous divisions which are held together and led forward by iron discipline. The Soldiers Coun4 cils no longer play the role in the Bolshevist army that they did at the beginning of the revolution. Military authority, on the other hand is vested with the troops and their leaders
 ''The German Eighth and Tenth armies are retreating before the So- viet troops The iron division,' which now, as a result of losses, has melted into the iron brigade,' numbering some hundreds of men, is also there. It would unquestionably be possible

THREE CHINESE
 SHOT TO DEATH
Mysterious Murder in Wash ington Baffles the
 Authorities.

Washington, Feb. With only one clue to follow, Washington police to- day sought to clear the mystery sur rounding the shooting to death of Dr. Theodore T. Wong. director of the Chinese educational mission to the United States, and his two assistants c. H. Hsie and Ben Sen Wu, all Chinese of the highest caste, at the headquarters or the mission in the fashionable Mount Pleasant resident ial district. The bodies of the three men were found late yesterday by Kong Lii, a fellow student of Hsie and Wu at George Washington Univer- sity, who called at the missions head quarters to ascertain why the two had been absent from classes.
 The sole clue. the police said to- day, was the description given by u of the Chinese who met him at the door when he went to call on Dr, Wong Wednesday. According to the police the stranger told u that Dr. wong was not at home. The three men apparently were killed some time Wednesday, All had been shot ! through the head. Persons living near the headquarters of the mission assert that they heard several shots hred several days ago, but disagree m their reports to the police as to the time.
 Officials at the Chinese legation were unable today to give any motive Tor the crime. No effort the police report was made at robbery and valu- able papers belonging to the Chinese government were left untouched.

DERNSTORFF STATES VIEWPOINT
Gives Outline of 14 Points With His Country's Atti-
 tude on Each. HIS STATEMENT
 IS OFFICIAL. Germany is to Abolish Com pulsory Military Service
 At Once.

Berlin, Friday, Jan. 31- Count VOn BernStorff has giv- en The Associated Press a state ment written by him after a consultation with Foreign Min iSter BrOckdOrff-RantZau and other high officials of the Ger man Foreign office. Since the Count is one of the men en- trusted with the working out of the details for Germany's parti- cipatiOn in the Peace Confer ence and will, with the Foreign Minister, be a German delegate, the statement may be regarded as official. It was written in English as follows:
 "The question what would Ger many consider a peace of right and justice, may briefly be answered in this way: That we would regard as such a settlement, by which the terms of peace laid down by President Will sons address to Congress, Jan. 8, 1918, and the principles of settlement in his subsequent addresses, are car ried out In true accordance with the high minded and far-seeing spirit in which they were conceived
 Among the IA points the dominat- ing note, in our opinion, is to be at tributed to point number 14, provid- ing for the constitution of a League of Nations, which as MT. Wilson said on Sept. 27, must be a part and In sense the most essential part, of the peace settlement itself
 As the great success of the recently founded German league of nations so- ciety proves, German leading men clearly recognize that nothing but an international league of free and equal peoples can do away with imperial ism and bring forth new world of order. The German people feel that, given such league and compulsory arbitration, peace negotiations would offer no particular difficulties. while without it's constitution in the peace settlement, a peace of right and jus tice will be we'll nigh impossible.

TRAINER GETS
 BROKEN BONE

Frank Payne, q, an elephant train CT, employed by the Ringing Broth CTS, at their winter quarters on Nor man street, received fracture of the collar bone, this morning at 9:30, when Dixie" the largest of the 40 elephants, housed at the winter quar- ters, went on rampage and attacked the small pachyderu. chained next to him.
 Trainer Payne had just returned the little elephant, who is quiet and do- cile, to it's stake, when Dixie who has been sulking for several days, at tackled the smaller animal.
 While he was trying to subdue Dixie" the other elephant became thoroughly frightened and in trying to get out of the way of the infuriat- ed monster elephant, crowded Payne against a post, breaking his collar bone.
 Dr. J. F. Keegan of the Emergency hospital staff responded to a hurry call, and after giving Payne first aidl treatment took the injured animal trainer to the Bridgeport hospital, where he is resting comfortably.
 Payne told the doctor that he has been employed by the Ringing Broth CTS as an elephant man for three years and this is the first time he has ever been injured. Payne lives at the winter quarters.

to offer resistance to the Bolshevi- tsts beyond the East Prussian border if the Germans were well led by a sin gle determined will. Military author fty, however, despite recent decrees Of the war minister, is actually in the hands of the soldiers councils who have not been able to decide on unit ed and purposeful action against the Russians, but, on the contrary, still believe they can stop the enemy's ad- vance toward cur borders by negotia- tions.
 Speedy help from dependable vol unteer corps ready to oppose the Rus sfans with arms, if required, is abso- lutely necessary. The same can be said of the situation in West Prussia. Numerous citizens guards which have been organized there are not in pos- session to check the threatening ad- vance of the Poles. Some thousands of volunteers are urgently needed there.
 ''It must be emphasized that the engagement at Klussee, in which the Poles were beaten recently, was no accidental, local conflict, but formed the beginning of a carefully planned advance of the Poles into West Prus- sia. The situation in West Posen is still critical. Bentschen and Meseritz. southwest and west of Posen, are threatened, and, with them, Branden- burg'S frontier is menaced."

Since the conclusion of the armis- tice, the report added, Paris has of fered attraction to men mischiev- ously and criminaIly inclined and this has resulted in minor disturb ances, but the American military po- lice organization is excellent and dis orders are kept at a minimum.
 General Pershing's cablegram, as made public by the department fol- lows:
 Reference your telegram Number 2570, a personal knowledge of con ditions and investigation since re- ceipt your telegram shows that sen sational reports as to assaults and burglaries by American soldiers are gross exaggerations. Crimes by American soldiers in Paris are almost negligible considering the large num- Der of men in the vicinity. The same may be said as to conditions through France.
 Since the conclusion of the armis- tice Paris offers attractions to men

mischievously and criminally inclin- ed. Naturally there are minor dis turbances in Paris. But the American military police organization is excel lent and these disorders are kept at minimum.
 None of these are traceabIe in any respect to faulty pay systems. No penniless soldiers are found in Paris There are individual cases of delayed payment due to a change in pay sys- tenn which took place during hostili- ties. The new pay system enables a soldier to get pay from paymaster when money is due him. Generally speaking the pay has been almost al ways correct. The pay department has been sending officers to find cas- uals at our hospitals and elsewhere with directions to pay men whose rec ords are entirely lost
 Full refutation of the charges made regarding crimes and disorders in Paris can not be put too strongly before the American public
