Doubles Favored

One OF our best authorities on lawn

doubles appears to have become one
Of the settled habits OF American
lawn tennis players and followers.

OF infinite variety. It is one OF the
great difficulties that the records Of
the game indicate that the victorious
pairs in doubles are not always the
most skiiful
The combinations were for the most
part haphazard affairs. Only a few
years ago two famous players ap-
peared twice among the top ranked
10 teams in doubles with different
partners.

The council, the chief governing

action without unanimous decision of
its members and since the United

the Council our interest will be pro-

League is formed for the benefit of
Great Britain or Japan or some other
one nation. This is not true. All the

great nations such as the United

their big neighbors. The international

tBy ex-President William Il. Taft.)

The plan for a League of Ma
tons is based on a few simple
principles, which are not hard
to understand when lifted out
of the morass of technical discus
sion and freed from legal and
diplomatic language. AS the
n authority best able to pre-
sent these points without par
tisan bias, ex-President Taft
has. been asked to put the
league idea into a few plain
words for the benefit of millions
of Americans who desire a bet
ter understanding of the plan
but find themselves confused by
the debate in the United States
Senate. In response to this ie-
quest he has written the follow
ing article.

lawed nation will be boycotted by all
the other members of the League and
will find itself cut off from both busi.
ness and social communication with
the rest of the world.
How 1t VIII Prevent Wars.
1t is not claimed that the League of
Nations will do away with war alto
gether. Every possible provision that
human intelligence can devise will be
made to settle international disputes
~peaceably. But should all these meas.
ures fail and two nations go to war,
this is what will happen:
IL both parties TO the dispute have
observed the rules of the League. the
other nations will stand back and let
them fight 1t out. War under such
circumstances is difficult to imagine,
however, because before the angry ma.
tons will be allowed to fight in ac-
cordance with the rules of the League,
so much time must elapse that in all
probability their anger will cool and
they will reach an amicable under
standing.
What we have to fear is that some
nation will go to war in defiance of
the League, and every %precaution has
been taken to suppress such a nation
by the immediate use of the united
power of the other nations. If inter-
national boycott failed to bring her
to terms she would have to face a
combined International army and.
navy. The founders of the League be-
lieve that the mere possibility of such
a situation will prevent any nation
from violating its agreement. Does
anyone think that Germany would
have begun war five years ago if she
had known that nearly all the other
great powers would combine against
her?

were being examined. After they had

"Circumstance number two is the

operative meeting closed at s o'clock.
Those who remained in the hall un-

therefore in violation of the law
when they were found there one
hour later.
"Circumstance number three is the
fact, as told to me by the military
commander of Pinsk, Major Luc-
zynski, that the military authori-
ties were expecting a Bolshevist up

Demanded of CITY

After the execution Of the men
the military authorities laid down a
contribution of 100000 marks upon
the city Of Pinsk, and the leading
Jewish citizens and the rabbi Of
Pinsk were told that they would be
responsible with their lives for the
payment of this contribution to the
Polish army Of occupation.
No sooner had the news of the
Pinsk execution reached Warsaw
than the Polish Telegraphic Agency,

bureau, issued a statement to
The entire press Of Poland that
the men executed at Pinsk on April
; we're all Bolsheviki and that they
were summarily dealt with because
they were apprehcnded in the act

on the floor of Parliament daily. We
have demanded that our whole East
ern policy be changed. We do not
want forced annexations down there.
We do not want to make Poland the
gendarme of the world. The execu-
tion Of Jews in Pinsk is a symbol.
1t shows the spirit of the Polish
army, its lack of organization and
discipline. Such an army may soon
be the strongest weapon in the hands
of the Bolshevists. Such soldiers
can be swayed one way or another.
81 repeat what I have often urged
on the floor Of Parliament and else
where: that the Entente change its
policy with respect to the Eastern
question. The more we proceed with
bloodshed against Russia, the more
bloodshed we will invite from Rus
sia. To-day Jews are killed on the
charge that they are Bolshevists.
Tomorrow the Bolshevists will re-
taliate by killing Polish landowners
and even Polish Socialists as coun-
ter revolutionists. The Pinsk epi-
sode cries to the Entente for

the whole Russian situation"

not Bolshevist, and am convinced
that he fell victim to his argumen-

the meeting was over and keep ar

Upon the ground Of the above state.
ments the undersigned Deputies ask
the Minister Premier and the Minister
OF War the following questions:
Have the Minister Premier and the
Minister of War any information about
the pogroms and murders which the
Polish military is supposed to have
committed on the 9th of this month
upon the population of Pinsk, and have
they any intention to bring in report
IN the Sejm about these deeds?
What means do the Minister Pre-
mler and the Minister of War plan 10
undertake IN order to disclose and to
punish the murderers, to the end that
such occurrences may not be repeatsd
in the future p"
On April 7, two days after the
massacre, General Listowski of the
Polish High Command, who is in
charge of the military operations
against the Bolsheviks in White
Russia, with headquarters at Brest-
Lltovsk, issued the following procla-
nation to the population of Pinsk,
which is the official explanation and
justification for the shooting:
After Pinsk was taken. when un-
der the cover of night there came in
various parts of the city bullets
through windows upon the Polish mill
tary and one Uhlan fell. it became
known that sufficiently large num-

Dead 20 Minutes
fter arrest

Between the arrest Of these men
and their execution exactly one hour
and ten minutes had elapsed.
While the Polish legionnaires were
preparing to execute these men
guards were keeping all passersby
away from the marketplace and
directing them into side streets.
After the execution the remainder
of those arrested were sorted once
more. Some were allowed to go to
their homes, while others were
taken to prison.
The order to shoot these men was
given by the Polish military COM
mander Of the town, Major Luc-
zynsxi. A Polish-American army
officer, Colonel Fronczak, former
Health Commissioner in Buffalo,
now in charge of the Red Cross
work in Warsaw, was in Pinsk that
day, comforting with the military
authorities there.
( The first news Of the Pinsk ex-
ecution was brought to Warsaw by
B. Zukerman, of New York, a men,
Der of the Joint Distribution Com
mittee Of the American Funds for
Jewish War Sufferers, who went to
! Pinsk to arrange for the distribution
of the American relief. The men,
bers of the committee which Mr..
Zukerman appointed were among
the men executed.
AS soon as the news Of the ex-
ecution reached Warsaw the Jewish
Deputies in the Polish Diet, Noah
Prilutski and Isaac Greenbaum, in
troduced an Interpolation calling
for an investigation of the shooting.
In response to this, the Diet ap-
pointed committee of ten to 20 to

Ing on the committee.

operative societies met had manv
halls, which it hired out to various
organizations. Frequently several
meetings were held there at the
same hour in different rooms. There
is also a reading room there where
men come to read. If were in
clined to speculate I would saw that
1t IS possible that at the time the CO.
operatives held their meeting to dis
cuss the food problem the Bolshe.
wiki may have held a secret meeting
IN another part of the building. I
would further say, if I followed out
this line of speculation, that the
bolshevlki, knowing themselves to
be conspirators, were on guard. and
as soon as they saw soldiers coming
theyescaped, while the cooperatives.
suspecting nothing, stayed on and
chatted after their meeting was off,
clally closed. But this is specula-
tion. The thing to do now is to let
the investigation committees get at
the truth"
The priest was asked whether he
personally recognized as being a
bolshevist any one among the
thlrty-seven men who were exc
cuted. He said that he personally
dld not know any one among the
dead there who might be classed as
a Bolshevist, but that Major Luc-
zynski, the military commander, had
told him that he, the major, recog-
nized one of the dead men as being
a Bolshevist from a photograph of
a group of communists which he
had and I'm which group photo this
man, he believed, was included.
