Heavens Fragrance
By PHOEBE FOSTER.

And just outside the city's
imaginary gates there was coun-
try. all sweet with the sight and
scent of lilac. Surely nothing
could be sweeter. Heaven must
have just such far-away. faint
fragrance shed from a huge and
invisible lilac bush. And when
the soft-eyed angels wear puz-
lied expression and seem to be
following their own noses. even
more so than usual. then we
poor mortals will know that the
radiant ones have caught an un-
expected whiff of delight and
are hunting for the tree.

many other interesting gold-rush

SOVIET LEADER
TAKEN IN BERLIN
Karl Radek, Captured by
Regiment, Planned Bol-
shevik Revolution.

Berlin, Feb. 14.-Karl Radek, Rus
sian Bolshevist agitator, who tried
to step into Liebknecht's shoes, has
been arrested. For months he hal
eluded a nationwide police dragnet
by tricks of disguise and other
ruses.
With him in Moabit prison is his
mysterious woman secretary who
aspired to become the murdered
Rosa Luxembourg's successor.
4 whole regiment was called out
to make the arrest. which took
place at a mass meeting Radek was
to address.
To couple of detectives who fin
ally caught him goes the price of
10000 marks which the government
had put on Radek's head. Only
when they saw the game was really
up did the two confess their Boil
shevist mission and tonight the
Berlin police are in possession of
details of a plot to plunge Germany
into a bath of civil warfare and
make Lenine's dream of a world
revolution" a reality.
The chief charge against Radek is
that of having financed revolution
ary movements both in Austria and
Germany with Bolshevist money.
The amount he is said to have dis
bursed runs into millions, the police
assert.

PRESIDENT TO CALL
FIRST GREAT SESSION
Agreement on Covenants
Credited Generally to
Diplomacy and Persist
ence Of President in Face
Of Lack Of Confidence
Displayed by Some Of
European Supporters.

Paris, Feb. I4.-Woodrow Viii
son scored the greatest triumph
of his career today when he read
before a plenary session of the
Peace Conference the full draft
of the society of nations covenant.
In a sense. Mr.. Wilson snatch
ed victory out of the jaws of de-
feat, for only seventy-two hours
ago there seemed to be an un-
bridgable cleavage between the
peace makers
Overnight, almost, by the sheer
force Of his personality and diplo-
matte skill in mediating apparent
" irreconcilable differences, the
American President turned the
darkest and most threatening
phase of the worlds peace con-
gress into the brightest dawn in
the history of mankind.
1t was a great day for the
world. 1t was a wonderful day
for America 1t was the trium-
phal day of Woodrow Wilson's
life.
Let there be clearness on this point:
The momentous document which Mr..
Wilson read before the assembled pol
iticians of the allied and associated
governments today is not a wilsonian
=
are not ''twenty-six Wilson points" {"
Hhey are not the ,articIe OF a cove
mani witch ne is trying TO Jam down
the threats Of the worlds nations.
Fruit of Colonial Efforts.
On the contrary the full draft as
read by him constitutes a coupen-
dunn of the conclusions reached by
the best brains of many scores Of men
after colossal labor that began away
back in the darkest days Of the war.
There is nothing ''Wilsonian" about
this document and the league is not
a Wilson league. But what is Will
sOnian. and typically and solely so, is
the fact that it ever saw the light of
day and that it ever forced its way
into a plenary peace conference ses-
sion instead Of being pigeon-holed or
killed in one Of the many and inter-
minable committee sittings.
The plan for the league, therefore,
Is a world plan, but the achievement
is that of Americas chief executive.
He is its pilot
Knew He wouldn't Bulge.
Embryonic drafts of the league
were ready even before President
Wilson left Americas shores to
come to Europe and see il
through" 1t is no secret that even
some of the sponsors of some of the
original schemes for a league were
not oYer-enthusiastic or over-con-
