RUSSIAN SOVIET PLANS
BIG POLISH CAMPAIGN

PARIS, March 27-sA great military
campaign against Poland Is to he
opened by the Russian soviet govern.
meht this spring, 1t was declared by
M. Joffe, former Bolshevik ambassador
at Berlin. at n recent meeting in Wilma,
according to word received BY the Po.
lish national committee in Paris,
The central executive committee Of

Last week the peace conference oc-
cupied large portion of its time In
endeavoring to decide how wide II
should make the neck OF Poland; what
the width should be of the corridor
connecting the Poles with the sea. 1t
found the decision beyond its capacity
and the mater is still adjourned, put
while the peace conference is strug--
Cling to make decisions which might
restore order and open the way TO llte
in the east of Europe, such organiza-
tion as exists there Is crumbling to
nothing and Bolshevism is advancing
while the allied diplomats debate.
1t would be difficult to eXaggerate
the gravity Of the sitpation In Europe
today as a result of four months with
out decision following the victory of
last November Then Germany was
at our feet, prepared to accept our
sentence, incapable of resisting 1t. To-
day 1t Is the testimony OF many who
know Germany that Germany will sign
no treaty OF peace such as we may
some time formulate; that she will in
vite us to occupy her territory, beliey..
ing that our armies of occupation will
be corrupted by Bolshevism while her
property will be protected from domes-
tic disorder,
We have two enemies now in Europe
where we had one enemy four months
ago. Germanism, which was crushed,
is reviving. Boshevism, which was n
mere distant threat, confined in the
main to the Moscovite section of the
old Romanoff empire, has now crossed
the Carpathians and reached the shores
OF the Danube; 1t has separated Poland
from Rumania; it has broken into Gem
tral Europe.

German negotiations in July. 1914. are
described from the German viewpoint by
DR.. Karl Helfferich. former German

Herr Helfferich refers to visit made

who wanted Helfferich's view on the
possibility OF persuading Austria to
modify her ultimatum to Serbia. After

Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs. and
Helfferich suggested that n free hand
should be given Austria in Serbia, with
the assurance that any action she took
should not disturb the balance OF power
In the Balkans.
Davydorff promised to take the sug-
gestion TO Petrograd, saying that moth
ing definite would be done until after
his arrival there except that Russia
probably would mobilize part of her
army"
Herr Helfferich says he pointed out
that this would lead to a Germaa mobili-
cation and war. to which, he says.
Davydorf replied:
well, we can mobilize again; that
costs money. but it need not cost blood. -
Herr Helfferich asserts that prior TO
the murder OF the Archduke. Russia
privately asked Germany IL she would
leave Austria In the lurch. whereupon
Russia would forsake France, This was
refused. he adds. because public opin-
ion and the German officials were con-

PARIS, April 6.-The American relief
administration has taken measures TO
halt the growing Bolshevism In Bulga-
ria. concerning which Rumania has been
expressing fear to the Peace Conference.
Advices received from Sofa say that the
delivery of consignment OF American
food TO Bulgaria has had an excellent
effect in discrediting Bolshevik agitators.
The main reason for the Roadway they
made was that the Bulgarians were
beginning to believe their statements
that the Allies and associated Powers
especially America, had deserted them
and were going to let them starve.
Bulgaria, It u said now will be less
favarobly disposed toward Bolshevisn
than the other Balkan States, and Ru.
mania is losing her fear that she may
be encircled by Russian. Hungarian and
Bulgarian Bolshevista
1t has been decided that Bulgaria may
maintain an army Of $4,000 instead OF
$4,000 men, the figure previously de-
termined upon. Bolshevik agitators had
told the Bulgarians that the Paris con-
ference intended to make them the scape-
goats for all the sins OF the Balkans,
depriving then, of territory. an army and
food.

the only one Of his political complexion
able ito squeeze his way back into Con-
Rress last November when the State
went overwhelmingly Republican. came
Champ Clark, present Speaker of the
House, the Democratic floor leader.
Mr.. Ayers's grievance Is the fact that
Mr.. Clark did not descend from the
Speakers rostrlm and defend the Dem
ocratic party and the Administration
from the attacks the Republicans made
on II repeatedly, for. blunderings. extrav-
agances and inefflciency. Friends of
Mr. Clark pointed out IN answer to this
that Representative Kitchin IN. CO has
bean floor leader and that the burden
should have fallen on him instead of
Speaker Clark. whose principal obliga-
ton to the House was that OF presiding
officer. Mr.. Ayers likewise registered a
complaint against the fact that the
House Democrats failed to caucus
enough to suit him during the last ses-
sion.
1T nm informed that never before In
the history OF the American Congress
has a party failed to hold a caucus dur
ing the entire session. yet this Is the
history OF the Democratic leadership in
the Sixty-nfth Congress"
To call a caucus under tho party rules
peti''on signed by a score or moro
Democrats IL necessary.
OF feel" said Mr.. Ayers. that II the
present candidate for minority leader
tMr. Clark) 10 elected the Democrats in
the House. who are loyal supporters of
the Administration, again will be humili-
ated by being forced to witness Repub-
lican onsiaughts with no defence from
those who will be charged with this re-
sponsfbility"
