FACING SITUATION
OF GRAVE NATURE
CONTINUED from First Page.)

upon the entente in the hope that Ger
many may regain her position in the
world when Bolshevism has completed
the exhaustion Of the western powers.
Today Bolshevism has reached Buda-
pest. 1t is approaching Odessa, il IL
has not already occupied that town. 1t
is about to sweep Poland and the Paris
conference has hesitated for months
over sending two Polish divisions from
France to their own country to aid In
the defense Of the Polish state. Between
the Black sea and the Baltic, over all
that mighty stretch Of territory, the
allies have not four full divisions. The
road to Vienna is open to the Bolshe-
visits at Budapest, and the occupation
OF Vienna cuts the only railroad by
cate with Bohemia, II Bolshevism
reaches Vienna we shall have nothing
left between the new Italian frontier
and the forces OF Lenine and Trotzky
save Poland, which we have condemned
to death, and Czecho~- Slovakia, already
practically isolated.
Whence flows the evil which is be-
coming more and more apparent at
Paris? From inability to reach a de-
cision and endless debate over the sep
aration Of the consonants of Europe
equitably, fundamentally, 1t would seem,
rom the fact tat Europe, under the
impulsion Of President Wilson, has first
adopted a set Of abstract principles
and then tried to arrange living facts
in accordance with dead moralities. The
British delegation has adopted with en-
thusiasm Mr.. Wilson'S doctrine of self
determination Of peoples, and from Ire
land to India, by way Of Egypt, by way
Of Malta, by way Of Cyprus, there is
beginning to be heard the clamor Of
the subject peoples of the British en-
pire for application to their specific
cases Of the. principle OF self-determina-
ton adopted by the British in Paris.

Deadlock Reached.

AS II stands now the Paris confer
ence has reached a deadlock wholly
comparable with the deadlock which
existed In the congress of Vienna at
the moment when news arrived that
Napoleon had returned from Elba. Con-
ceivably the news of advancing Bolsh -
evism will act upon the Paris confer
ence as the bad news Of the landing
of the great emperor, but more ana
more, one becomes satisfied here in
Paris that only some outside event can
produce decision within the council.
When the Paris conference met, Bolsh-
ovism was still east OF the Dnieper, to-
day 1t Is west of the Danube. VIII
the arrival at the Danube suffice, or
will the conference or Paris postpone
its decision until TrotzNy and Lenine
approach the lsonzo and the Rhine?

Whatever bit OF competition there was

crowded into the first set. Williams was
never pushed to the limit and seemed
content to take things easy. His tennis
was no better than he had shown when
he was defeated by Tilden In the cham
pionship tournament, but It was good
enough TO win. Thomas proved TO be
exceptionally good at the net and a
onder for getting the ball back. His
drives too were strong and he placed
we'll.
In the opening set neither man was a
respecter of service. Thomas started
by winning the first two games, when

fell a little short and frequently found
the net But Williams soon had his
sights adjusted correctly and went into

Alternate mt Leading.

The second set was a peculiar one. in
which each of the players alternated in
streaks of fast and accurate play. John
son had the streak first and won three
games In a row. Then the American
slowed UP q bit while the Australian
came along with a new burst of speed.
and the next three games went to Lycett.
Lycett had had his innings. 30 then he
dropped back a little, while johnson
spurted through three more games, which
were all he needed to take the set.
The men started the third set by
dividing the first four games on service.
Each was playing carefully. and as a re-
suit the tennis suffered. Lycett broke
through and took the fifth game at love
and with It the lead at 80. He could
not hold the advantage he had gained.
however, and dropped three straight
games through his errors. He broke
through the Americans delivery again
in the ninth game. which went to deuce.
but again faltered on his own and lost
the match in straight sets when he
dropped the tenth game.
