more serious because the latter have
been scoring notable victories over the
Czechs and Roumanians. The peace
conferees in Paris were forced to take
especial notice of this condition and
the council of four decided that the
boundaries between Hungary and
Roumania and Czecho-S lovakia must
be fixed speedily and Bella Kun told to
what lines he must withdraw his
forces unless he wished the great
powers to interfere with nm army.
Bolshevik successes in other regions
caused uneasiness In conference cir
cles. Admiral KOlchak suffered several
rather severe reverses at the hands OF
the soviet troops of Russia and the In
%terruption of the Esthonian advance
OH Petrograd strengthened the boil
, shevik hold on Moscow. In the for.
mer western provinces Of Russia the
Germans were accused Of hampering
the operations OF the opponents Of Dol
shevism. Questioned by the allies.
they replied they were merely carrying
out the orders of the armistice COM
mission to withdraw their forces from
Lithuania and Letvla north Of a Ger.
tain line. The EsthoRians, however,
insist that the Germans are fighting
them In the region of Riga and that
when they went to the assistance of
the Let's the Huns attacked them. In
northern Russia the campaign Of the
allies directed at Petrograd made
progress, much aid being rendered by
American launches on Lake Omega.

To return TO Germany: The leader
Of affairs there still insisted last week
that the peace treaty could not and
must not be signed. There appears to
be u marked revival Of sentiment In
favor Of the former kaiser, and 1t Is
even reported hat an organization Is
being formed for the purpose Of bring
ing him back and restoring him to
power. Gustav Stresemann, leader Of
, the national liberal party. has warned
the allies that they must not demand
the surrender Of Wilhelm and says his
/. indictment will mean the overthrow
Of the republic. All of which probably
Is more interesting than important.

: the Germans are preparing for eventu
. alities in case they do not sign thu
: treaty. Most recent Of these is th'
0 information that they are systemati
cally and rapidly withdrawing all MA
terial from the regions Immediately 4
the east of the zones Of occupation
( and from the probable pathways tn
allies would follow IL further advance
! into Germany were ordered. The In
science Of the Huns. In the occupies
territory and elsewhere, is increasing
and results In frequent clashes wit
the allied soldiers, some of which hav
been attended with fatalities.
