GERMAN SOVIET
 REJECTS REPUBLIC

Munich. Sunday, March 2. - The Soldiers and Workmen's Congress has rejected by a vote of 234 to 70 g. mo- ton reading as follows:
 The Socialist republic of councils Is proclaimed and legislative and ex- ecutive powers belong directly to the working people, represented by Coun- cils of workmen, soldiers and peas ants" and has adopted by a large majority the following resolution:
 The assembly of soldiers and workmen's councils constitute the provisional national council of the free state of Bavaria. The executive committee will be charged with the direction of national business and will consist of thirty-three members, whose appointments are revokable by the national council. The committee will chose from it's mem bers a central committee of seven which will be re- sponsible to it.
 The future constitution of the free state of Bavaria will be prepared by the provisional government and tha executive committee, acting together, and will be submitted for decision to the people. The Soldiers and Work mems Congress will elect new min istry and 9 section for public instruc- ton will be formed. charged with the task of enHEhtening the people. The new ministry will be responsible to the Central Committee and the pro- visional national council.

ALIEN COLONIES.

The biz majority of the foreigners who come to this country show an eager desire to Amertcanize them selves. They are alphabetically anxious to acquire knowledge of English. Many of them made a record of pa triotism in the late war that set an example to the native stock
 But all over the country you can find certain localities where the aliens show no desire to adjust them selves to American standards Their purpose is to return with their dollars to the old country. Frequently they rent farms and raise quick money crops that bring quick speedy returns while exhausting the soil.
 A Nebraska man in a, recent news paper letter gives his views about it. Tn his locality 50 per cent. of the farms are held by Russians. They cling to old customs, are rough in talk and habits, and demoralizing influence in the schools. He asks for laws making it Illegal to speak foreign languages either in public or private.
 That of course is action so radical that none of the states would be likely to adopt it. It will be a wiser policy to approach these people in a more friendly way and show them what they are missing by their aloofness
 The American people have little use for the foreigner who comes in here to make money for a few years, and then run with his bag of dollars, II will be much more hopeful to organize new forces of labor supply among boys and women, than to depend on

TERMS TO FOE
 ARE SEVERE:
Will Effectively Disarm Central Powers Near
 France.

London. March 4.---Commentlng up on the terms which Marshal Foch will present to tho Germans. the Times says: They will be severe and such Rs will effectively disarm the Central Powers on the side nearest France France has a just right to extra mlli- tary guarantees on her frontiers to- wards Germany, and these guarantees may well have to take the form of special territorial readjustments. Tn any case, France may count on our sympathy and assistance in obtaining all these necessary guarantees
 But the chief weakness in the the future will be in eastern Europe, and that is why barrier of new states to be erected between the Baltic and Adriatic will need strengthening by every means in our power. Al though France has a. particular in terest in the west front, the detection of Bolshevik Russia. makes it desir- able that she should find some sub situte on the east for her old Rus sian alliance, and 1t must be a great joy 10 her people that this substitute should take the form of 8 barrier line of free peoples.
 "Our position has many points of resemblance to that of France. The main avenues of the League of Ma tiou- communication with free peo- pies between the Baltic and Adriatic will be over the sea, and, therefore, we are anxious about free passage in to the Baltimore and also that there should be a its eastern end friendly powers to provide the navies of the League, after they have entered the Baltic with repairs and facilities of operation.
 But that is not all. In eastern Europe we hope 10 see a barrier of free states erected so that England, which has India to think of, may be protected in the Middle East. No one substitute will cover all of the ground once occupied by the Ottoman empire. Its old functions will have to be di- yided between new Arabia, new Ar
