that representatives of these barons

Oftice, and are maintaining a recruiting
Office here for volunteer who desire to
fight in the Baltic provinces.
The opponents of the Bolsheviki
reply that it is only natural for the
Baltic barons to be anti olshevik since
156 Of them were taken as hostages by
the Bolsheviki at the time when the
Bolsheviki still held the Baltic PROV
inces and sent to Siberia. They were
released by the Bolsheviki on the ulti-
matum of the late Count Mirbach, Ger
man envoy to Moscow, who was assas-
sinated last summer.
The anti ebknecht Socialists accuse
Liebknecht of demagogic trickery be-
cause he harps on the opposition Of
the Baltic barons to the Bolsheviki. but
conceals the fact that the mass of the
population resents their indiscrmnate
acquisitions and executions. The ma
jority of the people Of the Baltic prov
inces, it is pointed out by Lebknecht's
opponents, are eager for independence
and democratic, orderly government,
and are as much opposed to the Baltic
barons as they are to the Bolsheviki.
A correspondent of the "Vossische
Zeltung gives the following account
of the military situation in the Baltic
region. Livonia, he says. is now being
defended exclusively by volunteer
troops. He continues:
Fresh formations of ten thousand
German volunteers, with the necessary
artillery, are en- route eastward.
During the last week tne Bcshe-
Wiki have taken Walka and Under, and
On December 29 the anti Bolshevik de-
fence was concentrated north of Seq
void, east Of the Oder, and some forty
versts before Riga.
'The latest news is that Riga has
heen evacuated by both the Germans
and the British marines, who cooper
ated there. The Bolshevila arc splen-
didly equipped and fed, while the
Baltic forces lack everything, although
the Bolsheviki are lured by prospects
Of rcquisitioning arms, muitions and
food"
"The most dangerous Illusion" this
writer continues, "is to believe that
the Bolsheviki advance can be ar
rested by the present lax defence. The
Germans employ only mercenaries; the
English only give money and utter
threats. They are only concerned with
filling thousands Of petty offices with
their own men,"

to fight Bolshevism as long as the En-
tente thinks TT. This interpretation
has been challenged by Matthias Err
berger and General Winterfcldt, the
German armistice commissioners. They
contend that the original text Of the
section required German troops TO
withdraw Immediately from occupied
Russian territory, but that the Entente
ultimately waived this demand, the
Germans urging that their troops
should be left in the country in the
interest Of the security Of the inhab-
itants
Thus Germany was entitled to re-
main in the country, but she has as
sumed no obligation toward the En-
tente to MAINTAIN peace and order in
the East and keep her troops there.
Erzberger Scores Plan
Erzberger declares the Entente re-
proaches Germany for directly and in
directly promoting the Bolshevik ad-
vance, while contrariwise Germany is
interested, even more than the En-
tcnte, in preventing the advance Of
i)O4SUt'loH, ouL tHdL tHcy oplIlt VI IHc
German troops who have no wish but
TO get home renders successful action
impossible.
If the entente considers Bolshevism
d menace to be combated in every
way; if it thinks Germanys resources
are inadequate for this task, then, says
Erzbcrger, it would seem cxpcdiate for
the Entente to continue doing It's ut
most in the general interest.
This statement Of Erzbcrgcr seems
TO lend color to the suggestion that the
German government is anxious. part
'ly in the hope Of securing better peace
terms, to be associated with the En-
tente in military az we'll as political
enterprises against Russian Bolshev-
ism. There are numcrouy other, if less
tangible, symtoms pointing in the same
direction.
Willing Tools At Helm
Therefore, If the Entente govern
mcnts really mean to use their power
over Germany to make her do work in
Russia which, in Difference to popular
opposition ut home or on account of it's
digtastefui or irksome character they
do not care to perform themsclvcs,
then they would seem to have found
Wiling tools in the men now at the
