ITALY'S REDS FREE;

Socialists Get a Fresh Grip on

ROME, Feb. 24.-Under the amnesty
decree, Just published. various Socialist
leaders. condemned for political offences
such as Indictment to revolution. were
released yesterday from Imprisonment in
Turin. Among them are Signor Serrati,
editor of the Ardnti In the evening the
released men went to the Camera del
Lavoro. Turin. where a great crowd of
workmen awaited them. A triumphant
meeting followed.
The tenor of the speeches may be
gathered from the language used by
Signor Serrati. who said Russia was the
only nation which had found the right
way OF treating enemies OF the proletar-
lat. Virtually all the speakers urged
the people of Italy TO follow in the foot
steps of Russia.
1t will be evident that Socialism in
Italy is hes!tating to decide whether
Germany or Russia promises the better
model for future act. fortunately. the
. Italian people are endowed with pro-
found good sense. but 1t is pity the
Socialist party is so much more active
than any other. In fact. unless the new
popular Catholic party develops. as II
may we'll do, there is no real organized
party in Italy except the Socialist.

Mr.. wilson's success in any design. as
the refusal to grant him his request
cabled as he sailed for America to post
pone discussions of the constitution OF
the league until he could arrive and ex-
plain the circun stances OF Its formation.
The fact that there would be months
after the President returns to Paris for
the conclusion OF his work In which dis
cussion of every nature could be had
was of no influence on those who pre-
ferred to exhibit everywhere their de-
fiance OF any request he might make"
Says Washington IL Followed.
Senator Lewis then made his first ar
gument in defence OF the proposed
league constitution. He said that the
reasons given In explanation of the
ASSAULTS on the document were without
grounds in the contents of the instru-
ment itself and even tried to prove that
instead Of violating the American policy
against entangling alliances laid down
by Washington and followed by Amer
lea ever since the document follows ex-
actly Washingtons idea. On this head
Mr.. Lewis said:
at is said that the document violates
our policy against alliances with for
elgn Governments as opposed by WASH
prevents what Washington opposed
partial alliances by America with any
foreign country. even were her states
men inclined. II requires two-thirds OF
all to permit any war or peace action
with one. Would two-thirds ever allow
such disadvantage to them In favor OF
any one against them all? The const-
tuition OF the league prohibits the pos
I slbility OF a political alliance with any
t.-I- -G.. -
the European the Asiatic, Japan and
all Of South America. The army and
| navy OF the United States Is provided
for in the charter by words as of a kind
that she shall by her situation and pc
culiar geography personally adopt and
personally control"
Reed shows Up Omissions.
As Mr.. Lewis took his seat Mr.. Reed
pointed out a few facts TO the Senate in
relation to the Illinois Senator's inter-
probation OF the proposed constitution
Of the league. Said Senator Reed
"If the Senator from Illinois is correct
| in his diagnosis of this document then
| the chief thing the world has hoped to
obtain from IT 10 not in II. The chief
thing the world has been told We would
get from this document, from this league
| is disarmament, or TO a large extent the
disarmament OF nations.
THE Senator from Illinois WHO as
sumes to be the spokesman for the Ad-
minstration tells US there is not n word
| In this document to limit the size of any
army and that that is left to the judy
ment OF the nation. In other words. II IL
| left exactly where 1t Is now. II that Is
the case the chief argument for the
league has been withdrawn and the chief
reason for It's existence does not appear
TO exist.
There are many things I could call

many, sickened, will welcome with open
arms the restoration OF the monarchy
in any shape or form.
With this end in view the revolution
In Munich was instituted after several
weeks OF Junker propaganda work had
laid the foundations for II was de-
sirable from the standpoint OF the
Badenites to experiment In southern
Germany, where sympathies for the
monarchial order are more pronounced.
In order to guage what success would
attend larger efforts In the north.
Throughout the length and breadth OF
Germany the results OF this diabolical
plot are everywhere apparent Though
the Munich affair came to n quick and
inglorious end It was, appa rently, due to
the Intervention of Providence rather
than failure of the Junker scheme.
The failure was due to the fact that
one OF the notorious Socialist tools of the
German war party, who was sent with a
half dozen other Socialists to Sw!tzer-
land, Holland, Denmark and Rumanis to
work UP Junker sentiment, and who was
slated to lead the massacre from within
the house of Parliament, repented at the
eleventh hour and paid for his hesita-
ton with his life. being one of the first
to be shot down.
In all the industrial centres OF Ger
| many Junker propaganda Is now being
distributed through the medium OF Spar
ticist institutions. Only few of the Ger

the sway of the Bolshevists while Ger

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga defender OF

For a great part of the speech the
Illinois Senator. who will retire from
office next week. scolded those Of his
confreres who have chosen to obey the
dictates OF their conscience instead OF
the Presidents mandate for silence until
his return. He made scattered attempts
to answer the careful arguments OF SEN
ators Poindexter (Wash.), Borah
(1daho) and Reed (Mo). who had care
fully analysed the many weaknesses OF
the proposed league constitution to show
its conflict with American ideas and
ideals.
Mr.. Lewis was not interrupted, bu,
when he finished Mr.. Reed in a very few
words made It plain to the Senate that

posed league constitution proved to be
correct It would not accomplish the dis.
armament claimed for It.

MT. Lewis then trtsd to diSprove the fact
the Wilson plan violates the Monroe
Doctrine. The Senator's chief reason
for his expressed belief that this could
not be accomplished appeared to be that
the South American republics entering
the league would more than Offset the
votes OF the Independent British colonies
In regard to the possibility OF Ameri-
can troubles over permitting Japanese
and Chinese free entry into the United
States Senator Lewis felt that the fact
that the United States aided France
Great Britain and Italy in the present
war would be sufficient to force them to
vote with the United States in any such
| question arising in the league.

WOULDN'T TRY KAISER
LET WILLIAM BE, BRITISH oPIN.
ION. EDITOR SAYS.
Gardiner of the London News Says
Proposed Trial of Ex-Emperor
Is Unpopular.

London, July 1.-THE best way to
dispose of the former kaiser is to
/ leave him alone unless he becomes
a danger"
This belief was advanced in an in
terview with A. G. Gardiner, publish
er of the London Daily News, one of
England's greatest liberal writer's.
English public opinion, Mr. Gardi-
ner said, has undergone swift and
tremendous change since Lloyd George
made his election promise to try Viii
liam Hohenzollern and today great
majority of the people are against the
trial in London-if at all.
Mr. Gardiner believes firmly now
that the former German monarch will
never be hailed before the bar of JUS
tice. He is convinced that the whole
affair viii be allowed to simmer aud
wiz soon be entirely forgotten in the
whiJl of domestic reconstruction
problems occupying the public mind.
Mr. Gardiner foresees that convic-
ton of the kaiser would establish him
as a rallying symbol for the reaction
aries of Germany. But he believes
that if the former war lord were al
lowed to sink into oblivion Germany
would profit
