Kolchak inquiring what purposes he
has planned for the future.
The president has been Influenced
in his attitude by the insistence OF
Great Britain. France. and Japan

President Wilson In understood TO
have told his associates that he
could not commit the United States
to any fixed policy until further de-
velopments showed exactly what Ad-
miral Kolchak and his antibolshevfk
colleagues plan to do. II is believed
that the president has become con-
vinced that recognition of the soviet
regime at Moscow Is out of the ques-
tlon, but he refuses to act biindiy
in recognizing the Omsk government.

petition. Mai -Gen. Seeley, on behalf
OF the newspaper, bestowed a $25,000
consolation prize on the two men, who
were rescued from mid-Atlantic after
an unsuccessful attempt to fly to Ire
land.
The luncheon was attended by officers
OF the air ministry and prominent gov
ernment officials. who gave Hawker and
Grieve warm welcome when they en-
tered the room. Hawker responded in
a few words to laudatory speeches. He
referred to the success of the American
fliers in crossing the Atlantic and said
that with little 1lre luck his Sop
with plane would have put the British
nag dCTOSS UIbl.
A series OF receptions and celebra-
tions, including one at the Sopwith
Aeroplane company plant, followed the
luncheon. Crowds gathered about the
automobiles conveying the avlators and
at some places the police had to make
way for them. In all the demonstra-
tions Australian soldiers played a big
part.

appear on the variety stage. and prob
ably will also reject bids from cinema

New Haven. :
OLD ELI BOYS AVENGED
s tud nts March Through
Streets and Give Battle
to Mob Of "ToWnies."

New Haven. Conn, May 2S.-Bol-
shevist influence is blamed by Mayor
Fitzgerald, in part, for the revival,
after a lapse of many years, of the
town and gown rioting which broke
loose in this city last night when n
mob made up of a small proportion
of soldiers and a much larger pro-
portion of town boys, and numbering
several thousand, mobbed a number
of Yale students, causing serious in
jury TO at least a dozen; attempted
unsuccessfully to storm the Yale
campus, broke hundreds of windows
in the Yale buildings and damaged
much private property.s Two civilians
who were shot were resting comfort
ably in the hospital today. neither
wounded seriously.
The Yale Daily News today laid
the blame at the door of the news
papers which had yesterday printed
stories to the effect that trouble was
brewing as a result of insults alleged
to have been passed by Yale students
upon men of the 102d regiment who
paraded by the campus last Saturday.
The cases of John 5. Perry, of Cow
ingtons O.; John d. Hough, of Oak
Park, ILL.,, and Hugh o. Clement, of
RUTLAND, VT, Yale students, who were
arrested on charges of carrying con-
cealed weapons and breach of the
peace, following the shooting and OF
three other local men arrested during
the disturbances were continued in
the police court today for further in
vestigation.
Early this morning several hundred
students, angered by the breaking of
many fine windows and insults hurled
at them by the mob, marched down
toward the center of town TO give
battle to the mob OF ''townies" and
soldiers. They were refrained with
difficulty and sent back to their
rooms before clash occurred.

quiet was restored in the city streets.
The rioting began when a mob in
which was a number of men in uni
form gathered on the central green
and marched toward the campus,
beating upon their way students who
were out alone. The students. armed
with clubs, were stationed inside the
campus gates in charge of their lead
ers and under orders to do nothing
unless attacked. The crowds con-
tented themselves with throwing
stones and storming windows, then
returned to the center of the city,
where they raided cafes and theaters
in search of students and others
whom they mistook for Yale men.
Then they paraded over through the
Shelf district, and it was during this
trip that the most serious damage to
college property occurred

, hostile commission whose powers
would enable it to administer Ger
many as a bankrupt state. This. 1t
is declared is incompatible with the
innate rights of nations.
The statutes of the league of ma
tions, 1t Is further asserted, contra
dict numerous declarations made by
the governments opposed to Germany
and the league is merely a continua
ton of the enemy coalition. IL Is
added there Is no realization OF a real
league of nations and that in its pres
ent form the league establishes, in
effect. the alliance Of 1915.
The reply maintains the treaty
shows Germany as a nation which is
simply to be destroyed, and adds:
This is a complete reputation of the
idea that every nation has a right to
existence and violates the right of
self determination
"ln Sharpest Contradiction"
The statement then details long OBJ
iections TO the proposed treatment of
the Saar region, Euphen, Malmedy
and Alsace and the eastern frontiers,
and argues the worst manifestation
of the disregard of the right of self
determination is the separation of
Danzig from the German empire.
Other abrogations of this right as
cited in the statement, include the
refusal to allow the millions of Ger
mans in German Austria to unite
with Austria, while other millions of
Germans are forced to remain under
the new Czecho- Slovak state.
Section III. of the counter pro-
posals reiterates the declaration that
the draft of the peace treaty is in
sharpest contradiction to the basis of
right for a lasting peace "of a right
which was agreed upon" 1t says the
treaty involves destruction of German
economic life and subjects the Ger
man people to a financial slavery,
unparalleled in the history of the
world
Fresh Catastrophe for World.
If such a treaty came into force, it
is declared it would mean a fresh
catastrophe for the whole world The
German statement adds: "A dying
philosophy of emperialistic and capi-
talistic tendencies is here celebrating
its last terrible triumph. We
appeal to the innate right of men and
nations, under which the British state
developed, the Dutch people liberated
themselves, the North American ma
tion established its independence and
France shook off it's absolutism. ThL
sustainers of a scored tradition can
not refuse 1t to a people which has
Just won the power to live according
