removed from the nozzle of the force

spray, 1T Is only necessary to put a
nozzle on the hose and open the valve

water into the barrel, forces the wa

thus making an effective spray. All
these operations can be performed by
man working alone.

This report, made by Capt. Howell
Forman, head of the administration S
Baltic mission, and forwarded by Her
bert Hoover, director general Of the
organization, asserted that inhabitants
of Riga, heartened by the arrival of
American supplies, had turned on their
oppressors and now were hunting
down bolshevists and executing many
daily.
The report warned that "a large rad

and failure of the authorities to pro-

feet again might lead them. with the
assistance of the bolshevists still in

Even with the arrival of American
supplies food conditions were pictured

LEAGUE FAILS
TO STIR PARIS
French Press Shows Little Fnthus-
iasm Over Adoption of Revised
Draft for World Rule.

Paris, April 29.-The covenant of
the league of nations arouses little
enthusiasm in the press of this city.
Indeed, many of the principal news
papers abstain from comment alto
gether. L Oeuvre, which has always
been a champion of the league and
of President Wilson, says:
Speaking generally we are
bound to say the pact of the league
of nations causes a certain amount
of disappointment Its &c articles
constitute really the statutes of the
league of governments to safeguard
their territorial sovereignty and not
a new charter of the law of nations
which had been hoped for"
The newspaper thinks that the
resignation shown by Belgium,
Japan and France must be due TO
promises or special guarantees
which will be known perhaps,
when diplomacy is no longer Sc
cret."
Writing in the Echo d Paris,
"Pertinax," spokesman of the Ma
tionalists, declares outright:
''The league of nations is dead
before birth"
He also refers to rumors OF
treaties being made between the al
lied powers, remarking Ito reassure
us Premier Clemenceau and For
eign minister Pinchon allege they
hold favorable alliances in their
portfolios. These parchments must
be beautiful. complete and eloquent
