in their country and appear to think that
Bolshevism will be conquered more easily
everywhere else because it has failed in
Germany. Such conclusion is an enor-
nous blunder. The Germans do not want
Bolshevism at home, but they are never
theless propagating it among other nations.
While the Germans were manufacturing
asphyxiating gas to destroy their adver
saries workmen engaged in its production
were from time to time killed while pre-
parlng 1T. 1t is only to such extent that
Bolshevism is dangerous for the Boche.
In dealing with this question it is nee
essary to realize that worldwide organi-
cation Of Bolshevism is being carried out
under the direction Of the German General
Staff, which is still under the command of
Hindenburg and Ludendorff. 1t has now
been fully proved that it was LudendorffN
who gave the troops of Trotzky the order
to continue the war in the East. 1t was
Ludendorff who combined and coordinated
the operations which have been executed
just recently in the region Of Wenden and
the walk around Riga and in Lithuania.
Bolshevik troops are under the command
Of German officers, who were lattery In
these regions and who left their war ma
terials in the hands of the Bolsheviki be-
fore they returned to Germany, together
with certain number of officers designated
for the purpose by Ludendorff himself

phife Ukrsinians, Russian Bolshevik armies
and the troops of Hindenburg is undoubt-
eddy becoming more marked. The posi-

land and its irremediable overthrow,
disaster that would have worldwide conse-
quences, is therefore imminent and certain,
We are faced, however, with the prodigious
fact that the decision of the peace confer
ence to send an Allied mission to Poland
will have the effect of suspendng the dis
patch of the urgent help which common
sense decreed ought to have been sent to
Poland Immediately.
Could the peace conference, if it had
wanted to increase the chances of linden
burg and Ludendorff for success in their
decisive operations, have done anything
better than they have done to achieve this
end?
Under the pressure of these various rea-
sons the rehabilitation of the European
Allies is being everywhere pushed forward
so actively that very shortly there will be
left under arms only comparatively re-
stricted forces in view of the task which
really lies before them. On the other
hand, the inquiry which is to be made in
Poland the experiment which Is about to
be made with the Bolshevik, and other
tremendous problems which care must
solve. including notably that of the repa-
ration Germany will be called upon to
make, will evidently take very long time
Under the best of circumstances it will
probably take some months before the
congress will be able to arrive Mt the stage
OF placing its excellent solutions on paper

The Danger of Bolshevik Recognition

ceased to follow, Of supplying to every &C
cessible point of Russia all possible help
and relief to the sane, honest and faith
full elements in Russia, in order to assist
them to escape from the bloody and dis
orderly tyranny Of the Bolsheviki, and to
help them to reconstitute for themselves
regular government"
This decision, which became known
through a diplomatic indscretion, was ap-
proved by vast proportion of French opin-
ion. 1t is fully justified by q knowledge of
certain facts. The Paris newspaper
"Temps," for instance, published on Jan
uary % the following details from Archan-
gel Of the reign Of terror prevailing at
Vologda since the occupation Of that town
by the Boshevists
"The Bolshevists arc chiefly cnraged
against the officers and intellectuals, but
women and girls, and even youths, do
not escape reprisals by the tyrants of
Vologda. Among them q commissioner
called KedrofF, and Eydouk, Commander
of their Lettish troops, have particu-
larly distinguished themselves. At the
railway station Kedroff has fitted UP
train as a prison to which are taken ali
people who are arrested on charges Of
being concerned in counter revolution
airy plots. Most Of these people are sent
to Moscow, but they only leave this
travelling prison to be put to death
somewhere close by. A word from Ke-
droff or Eydouk is sufficient to settle the
fate Of these unfortunates.
"No pretence of trial or any Judi
cal formality is necessary in connection
with the application of capital pen
atty. A pair of epaulettes found in the
house of an old retired officer was suffi-
cient to cause him to be put to DEATH
There cases known where girls Of
fifteen have been shot as counter revo-
1utionaries. The executions themselves
have been simplifed. There is no firing
squad, no reading of the death sentence,
A shot from a revolver held at point

"The victims are made to dig their
own graves a few minutes before they
are shot"
1t is with such criminals as these that

effectively meeting this danger. 1t was to
send the Poles without delay the help they
so urgently need.

wise. At meeting in which the repre-
scntatives Of the Allied and associated great
powers took part it was decided to send to

at the same moment the funny appeared at
the gunwale, almost on level with the
water, flashing the waves to froth with
his powerful tail All, the villain! At last
he had placed himself within range!
And furiously, as if it were an implaca-
Bile enemy of his, Antonio aimed several
blows with the boathook sinking the iron,
into that viscous skin. The waters were
stained with blood and the ANNA! sank
into a red Whirlpool
Antonio breathed\ with relief They had
finished the fellow just in time The strug-
gle had lasted only few seconds, but &
little longer and they would have been
sunk.
He surveyed the drenched deck and then
looked at his godfather, who was clutehing
the foot of the mast, pale but calm and
unrulfled.
81 thought we were going under, Antonio.

hastily cast into the sea a line with hook
as thick as finger.
The waters boiled and the vessel careened
as if some with colossal strength were
tugging at it, holding it back and trying to
capsize it. The deck reeled as if it were
fleeing from beneath the feet of the crew
and the mast creaked with the strain of the
belying sail. But soon the irnpediment
yielded and the boat, with a bound resumed
it's regular course.
The line, but moment before strained
and taut became loose and inert. The
men pulled at it and the hook came TO the
surface; but it was broken in the middle,
despite it's size.
The godfather shook his mead sadly.
Antonio, that animal is stronger than
we. Let him be, and let us give thanks

returned to the waters where the encounter
had taken place.
He attached a new hook, very large one,
on which he strung several pilchards, and
without letting go of the helm he grasped a
boathook. 1t would be no weak blow that
he'd deliver to that lusty, stupid creature
as soon as it came within range! -
The lines hung from the stern almost
perpendicularly. Again the vessel shook
but this time in frightful manner. The
funny was we'll caught, and pulled at the
solid hook, holding back the ship and fore
ing it to perform a crazy dance upon the
waves.
The water seemed to boil; foam and
bubbles assembled to the surface in turgid
whr, as if in the depths struggle be-
tween giants was taking place. and now
the boat, as though clutched by hidden

find him in the hold. He sank into water
Up to his knees; the sea had inundated the
place. But who thought of that now? He
CROPPED about in the dark, narrow space
without encountering anything but the cask
of water and the spare tackle. He returned
TO the deck like a mailman.
THE boy! The boy Ny Antonico."
The godfather's countenance twitched sor-
rowfully. Hadn't they been on the verge
of going under? Overwhelmed by a wave,
the child must have been sent to the bottom
like piece of lead. But the fisherman,
although he thought Of these things, said
nothing.
Far off, at the place where the boat had
almost succumbed to the waves, black
object hoated upon the waters.

Before that time, however, as conse-
quence of the Allied apnies having been
demobilized before the real end of the
war, the only means by which the execu-
ton of the decisions taken can be assured
that is TO say, an armed force sufficient to
compel Germany to make the PREPARATION
called fora force which, in order to act
eficaciously, must be prepared to operate
not only on the Rhine but also in Poland
and Bohemia; in other words, on Germany's
eastern frontiers-will have ceased to
exist.
AS no one in his senses imagines that
Germany will pay unless she is compelled
it follows from this hypothesis that Ger
many would be able to keep the proceeds of
her thefts, France would succumb flnanci-
ally under the burden of the unheard of
war losses inflicted upon her, and that as a
general consequence of this state Of things
Pan Germanism would be Immediately re-
constituted
This is the probable logical development
of facts, some of which already are certain
while others are obviously imminent; name
ly, the Pan-German triumph in the cleo
tons, Bolshevism at the service of linden
burg and Ludendorf, the destruction of
Poland, a too extensive rehabilitation of
the Allied armies, and the substitution by
the peace conference of policy Of talk for
a policy of realization
On January % was present at a Franco
Sav meeting organized by Ernst Denis, one
of the professors at the Sorbonne, and
Franklin Bcuillon, chairman of the Foreign
Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Depu-
ties. This meetingwas attended by about one
hundred persons, including leading French
experts on Slav questions, and the best
qualified representatives of the various
Eastern European nationalities who are
now in Paris. The opinion was expressed
that the decisions of the peace conference
relative to the Bolsheviki and to Poland
were the result of profound ignorance of
the real situation and constituted monu-
ment to most dangerous lack of compre-
hension.
This opinion received the unanimous ap-
proval of those present with the exception
of single person.
From 8 moral point of view the terrify-
ing fact which dominates the whole situs-
ton is this: The peace conference was
called together to make a peace of Justice
which evidently must have for its objects
to afford help to victims and punish crimi-
nails. Yet the first decision come to by the
peace conference consists of recognizing.
and, by the same fact, granting amnesty to
the greatest criminals the war has pro-
duced-that is to say, the common or gar
den criminals we know by the term Boil
shevists, who are at the same time the no
torious agents of paf-Germanism.
In the face of these compelling facts it is
difficult to sec how complete and entire
moral failure can be avoided by the confer
ence unless some thorough and radical
change is made in its policy.

Poland a mission composed of eight mem
bers to undertake an inquiry. Owing to
delays connected with means of commune
cation it will be difficult for these dele
gates to transmit their report in less than
q month Now, in month from now rrep-
arabic events may occur.
Let point out that there are now in
Paris some hundred or so people who have
studied the Polish question and who are
all of them, convinced of the necessity for
Immediate assistance being given by the
Entente to the Poles. 1t would have been
much more reasonable and quicker to con-
suit these experts than to send to Poland
delegates who will probably be going into
the country for the first time and for this
reason find it impossible to comprehend in
the short time at their disposal situation
as complicated as that Of Poland
The solution arrived at by the conference
is too childish. Poland cried for help and
they sent her commission.
Now that we have recalled the two most
important decisions come to by the peace
conference, let US understand the facts
with which we are now faced Part of the
results Of the German elections have been
what was expected by the few people in
Germany who have any real knowledge.
They represent the triumph of the Pan
Germanist Social Democrats who have siren
uously supported William II during the war
and of the Pan-Germanist middle classes
The Germans, therefore, have evidently
retained all their former ideas and funda-
mental aspirations. The only change is
hat how bou %oJ
to a trihing extent under the democratic
labels which have been given their par
ties. This camoufage has been adopted
solely for the purpose Of giving the final
touches to the tremendous mystifcation
which Is being carried out by the Germans
in order to bring about notification of
Allied victory, thanks to the endless dis
cussions of the league Of nations and
freedom Of the seas, and ultimately recon
stitute triumphant Central Pan Germany.
1t Is significant that Naumann, a pro-
tagonist Of the central Pan-German idea,
was one Of the successful candidates in the
recent German elections. Moreover. all the
evidence available makes it certain that
the German republic is Pan Germanist. II
is further by no means assured that Pan
Germanist Germany will remain a republic.
General Won Maltzahn stated few days
ago to newspaper correspondents at Co.
blenz that about 10 per cent of the Ger
man people were still firmly attached to
the monarchical regime, and that before
very long that regime would be resstab-
lshed, with the grandson Of William II on
the throne. The facts, however, are prov

London, Feb. 8.
m I is already not very difficult to fore
what kind Of results we may expect
from the peace congress. The deci
sions which have already been arrived
at enable us to discern what the final out
come will be.
AS we know, after having heard Noulens,
Scavenius and others, who, coming from Rus
STA itself, have shown how urgent it is for
the Allies to take action as quickly as posi-
Bile against the criminal Bolshevists, the
congress, to general surprise, decided to
summon representatives Of all the govern
ments existing in Russia, including, conse-
quently, the Bolshevists, to a conference to
be held on the Island Of 4Rhkipo, in the
Sea of Marmora. 1t follows from this de-
cision that Lenine and Trotzky, whose actual
completely with the German government
during the war has been established by
documents published by American journals,
have been implicitly recognized by the peace
congress precisely at the moment when the
anti-Bolshevist movement was in course Of
being seriously organized throughout the
greater part of Russia.
This decision has, OF course, delighted all
French Bolshevsts, who, by curious coin
cidence, happen to have been the defeatsts
who, consciously or not, have throughout
the conflict done their utmost to hinder the
against Germany. This explains why
Marcel Cachin, the leader of the French
Bolshevists, wrote in "L'Humanite," of
January %, as evidence of his profound
joy: "Ths shows the way the congress is
tending to take"
The tendency Of the conference, as n
matter Of fact, cannot be denied, but let us
fully understand the object toward which
it is tending. On December 5, 1918, Stephen
Pichon, the French Foreign Minister in
reply to British proposition for the recog-
milton Of the various Russian governments,
including that of the Bolshevists, set forth
in note that:
THE criminal regime of the Boshe-
visits, which in no way represents demo-
cratic government even any posi-
bility whatever of such government since
1t is based solely on the lowest passions
Of anarchical oppression and on the mega
ton of all principles of private or public
rights cannot claim to be recognized as
regularly constituted government If
the Allies had the weakness or the impru-
dcnce to act In this way, they would deny
in the first place the principles of justice
and right which are their strength and
honor and would give to the Bolshevik
propaganda in tho outside world a power
and extension to which they would run
the risk Of being the first victims. The
French government so far as it is con-
cerncd, will not enter into any compact
with crime.
by agreeing to recognize the BolcAe-
vjk government we should give the lie to
the policy which the Allies have never
