TRACKED IN CONSIDERATION
OF COLUMBIAN TREATY.

Information on Shantung Matter May
Cause Decided Change In Trend Of
Debate on Treaty Subjects.

Washington. Senate controversy
over the peace treaty with its league
Of nations covenant will be halted
temporarily this week to allow consid-
ei ation of the long pending Colombian
treaty. However, the peace treaty
ard related subjects arc expected to
be to the fore every day, II not on
the floor Of the senate, at least In the
cloakrooms and in conferences.
While the senate considers the two
ticaties, the house will be occupied
with a rush Of legislation preparatory
to the planned rececG OF five weeks.
The Colombian treaty involving the
payment of $25,O0O.OO0 to that repub-
lie resulting from the partition OF
Panama but with the original clause
expressing Americas "regret' for the
loSs by Colombia Of Panama elimi-
mated by agreement between the state
department and Colombia, will be
taken up Tuesday by the foreign re-
latons committee. The treaty is ex-
pected to be reported by the commit
tee and ratified by the senate prompt
ly.
Developments thought potable In
the treaty fight include statements by
President Wilson outlining his stand
on the proposal for ratification reser-
vations and giving new information as
to the Shantung provision. Both Of
the expected statements would have a
direct bearing on debate. The Shan
tung provision is the subject OF diplo-
matte discussions now in progress
with Toxic designed to obtain publ
cation of the secret understanding for
restoration Of the province or some
other public declaration of Japans in
tentions.

"The only cloud upon the sky of
their hopes is the position of the en-
tente. They say that if the entente
will do as Germany did and occupy
the Baltic provinces and the Ukraine
there is nothing to fear because in
that case they would be able in few
months to revolutionize the French
end British troops as they claim they
already had revolutionized the Ger
man troops. Their only alarm was
lest the entente should occupy Petro-
grad and Moscow, because they knew
their only weapon was propaganda.
Bolshevists are masters in revolution
airy propaganda and at the head of
this institution is an Austrian named
Radeck who in Moscow founded an
'interallied federation with members
from the people of several nations.
Organization and production are
in Russia because Russian
workmen have no sense of fellowship
1t is impossible for the Russian gov
eminent to reorganize industry and
trade according to communistic prin-
ciples as long as other states have not
accepted like principles of govern
ment. Until now Russia has main
tanned life on pre-war stores but this
soon will be exhausted. The Russian
foreign minister once said that the So
Wet republic was foreign substance

M. de Scavenius said he did not be-
lieve that conditions in Russia would
be altered without foreign interven-
ton and he added that in his opinion
intervention would not meet with any
considerable resistance.

DISPLAY WAR RELICS
BROUGHT HOME BY OUR
BOYS FROM FRANCE
TAMPA is THE PLACE To SEE
THEM; ARE YOU IN Is
TERESTED?
(By OBJ. Wetherell.l

Tampa, Fla, Jan. IT. Especial.
If a suggestion made to w. G. Bro
rein, president of the South Florida
fair, meets with approval Of the ex-
ecutive committee when it meets in
few days, announcement will be made
of displays of war relics sent home, or
brought back, by Florida soldiers.
There are many mothers and others
throughout this section who shave
souyenirs picked I'D oh the hattlefelds
of Europe, and who would gladly
place them in space which might be
assigned at the fair, with appropriate
tags telling who secured them, and
perhaps in some instances typewriter
details.
Mrs. F. M. Williams, whose husband,
Captain Williams, was cited for BRAY
cry and awarded the distinguished
service cross, has an unusually COM
plete collection, embracing wide va
riety of things which Captain Williams
picked up in France and has sent
home, and would probably be glad to
place a part on display. 1t has been
suggested to Mr.. Brorein that if Mrs.
Williams could be prevailed upon to
take charge of such display, it
would be an excellent choice, and in
a small measure a recognition of Cap
tain Williams's services to the nation.
There will be a great deal at the
South Florida fair and victory jubilee
which will appeal to the parents and
relatives of soldiers and sailors, as
well as the general agricultural and
live stock exhibits. Amusement fea-
lures are also being provided, as well
as the woman's work department,
which is in charge of Mrs. G. A.Webb.
Reservations in the woman's building
are going fast, Mrs. Webb said today,
warning those who desire space not to
delay until it is too late.

Bols. Send Representatives Over
Entire Civilized World to Make
Converts to Their Tear Down Policies

Copenhagen, Dec. 21-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press. BIOL
shevik propagandists were sent from
Russia not only to Germany but to
China, England and France, says Har-
old de Scavenius, the Danish minister
to Petrograd, who has just returned
from Russia together with the staff of
the Danish legation. While at the
Russian capital he had been acting in
behalf Of the entente powers. Four
hundred Russian propagandists, he de-
clares, were in berlin before the Ger
man revolution began and instructions
were given for numerous Bolshevists
to be despatched to England and
France by underhand routes. Recent
ly, he added, a number of repatriated
Chinese were sent home from Russia
and among them numerous propagan-
dists.
The soviet Russian government, ac-
cording to M. de Scavenius, under
stands very we'll that it's only posi-
bility of maintaining it's existence is
in an international revolution and
while the German revolution was near
ing its apex the Bolshevik leaders re-
joiced in its progress but were disap-
pointed in the fact that the German
administration remained in the hands
of the social democrats.
"They emphasized" said the Danish
diplomat, chat Germany was only in
her February revolution'-her Keren-
sky revolution-and they predicted
that she soon would have her October
revolution, and more speedily than
was the case in Russia.
