NO INTERVENTION
ON LARGER SCALE.
STATES BALF0UR
Allies Doing All That Can be
Done in Russia, Says British
Foreign Secretary.
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Feb. 5.-Military interven-
tion in Russia on a large scale Is not
to be thought of, declared Arthur J.
Balfour, the British foreign secretary,
in closing an interview which he
granted the newspaper correspond
ents here last night. The great pow
ers were doing everything they con-
sidered could be done, however, he
said, in dealing with what he char
acterized "a most disquieting situa-
ton"
AS to the general work of the peace
conference the foreign secretary de-
clared the peace making body was
making all possible haste to settle up
on the peace terms. He was led to
this statement by a question from one
of the interviewers, who said:
There is much talk in the peace
conference about various problems
such as the society of nations. Do
you not think your real task is, before
everything else, to impose peace con-
ditions upon Germany"
Peace is Sole Aim.
After a moments reflection, Secre-
tary Balfour replied:
"One can evidently criticize with
out limit the methods OF work we
have adopted, but rather than answer
criticism, would rather tell you that
the fact that the problem of the So
ciety of nations has been taken up be-
fore that Of peace, properly so-called,
in no way signifies that the settle
ment of our accounts with the enemy
will only come afterward. The me-
chanism of the commissions we have
instituted permits the concurrent
study of several questions.
Let public opinion be reassured.
The delegates to the peace conference
have no intention OF employing dila-
tory methods. They are using all
their energy and skill to attain as
soon as possible the just peace to
| which the whole world aspires. That
is their one aim, their sole ambition .
AS the interview was closing one OF
the correspondents asked regarding
the Russian question.
at Is a most disquieting situation y
replied Mr. Balfour. Eve are doing
all that can be done. AS to military
Intervention on large scale, it Is not
to be thought Of"

BIG INCREASE !.
IN TAX RATES
TO PAY FOR
new BRIDGE
Ten Cents More on Hundred
Will be Added by Proposed
South Side Bridge, Figures
Show.
WEST Side QUESTION up

Tax rates for Wayne county prob
ably will have to be increased about
10 cents on the hundred to pay for the
new South G street bridge, county Of
ficers figured Wednesday.
When the Main street bridge was
ordered built. 100000 worth of bonds
we're issued for ten-year term. The
raise in tax rates to cover the expense
of this bond issue was about five
cents.
Provided the bond issue for the pro-
posed bridge is 100000, which is the
sum named as the minimum for which
1t can be built, and the bonds are is
sued under the same conditions, the
new bridge will mean 10 cents in
crease in taxation the first year Of the
issue. The old bonds were issued at
Az per cent. while it will probably be
impossible to float an issue now at
this figure.
This increased tax will grow smaller
as the issue nears its end, but will
never be under five cents over the
present rate.
May Cost Over Estimate.
AS two cents over the present rate
is the probable expense Of the new
South G street improvement for tax
payers in Wayne township, dwellers in
the township will And their tax rates
increased about IL cents for the year
because of these two improvements
alone.
Construction men of Richmond are
also in doubt however, whether the
south side bridge can be built for
5000, 900, and it is the opinion OF many
that the appropriation required will
be perhaps $225, 900 or more.
Attention has also been called to
the fact that while the old Doran
bridge is perfectly safe as long
as the present restrictions on traffic
are maintained there, it may be neces-
sary to route heavy traffic over it
later on.
West side situation.
The east piers OF the new Main
street bridge may cut OF the side
roadway to the present temporary
bridge, and interurbans and street
cars may find their only route from
east to west over the Doran bridge.
AS the old bridge has been express.
ly closed to traffic of this nature, a
crisis may occur in the communica-
tions between east and west Rich
mond.
Should anything happen to the Dor
an bridge in the nine months or more
before the Main street bridge will be
completed, the whole crowded north
west end of town, people and factories,
will have no choice except to walk
to the temporary bridge at Main street
or up to the old obsolete covered
bridge at Bridge avenue, nearly
mile up. the river.

GERMAN RADICALS
IN DISPUTE OVER
BLAME FOR WAR
Responsibility to be Investi-
gated by Socialist-Want
to Influence Congress.
fBy Associated Press)

BERNE, Feb. 5.-Responsibility for
the great war will be investigated
by a commission appointed by the So
cialist conference, in session here, 1t
was decided today. This commission
will be made of two British. two
French, one Hungarian, one Austrian
and two German delegates. with Presi-
dent Hjalmar Branting acting as
member. The personnel of this COM
mission has not been announced.
During the day it was declared by
speakers that the prime object OF
the conference was to influence the
peace conference at Paris" This state
ment was made by Pieter ]. Troelstra.
the Dutch Socialist leader and one of
the British delegates.
It was decided during the day that
discussions between delegates as to
responsibility for the war would not
be permitted. 1t was pointed out
that this subject would lead to nothing
but endless addresses by French and
German representatives. 1t was de-
cided that all speeches would be limit
ed to six minutes.
Denies German Blame.
Following an attack on the German
majority Socialists by Kurt Eisner,
the Bavarian premier, during the fore
noon, another German delegate, Herr
Mueller, a majority Socialist, denied
that Germany was entirely to blame
for the war and defended his party.
He said:
at was not Germany alone, but the
militarists Of the whole Of Europe. who
were the originators of the war. Ger
man Socialists would have lost forever
all their influence upon the people il
they had ventured to oppose the war.
We cannot accept the judgment Of
our enemies but only that of neutrals. y
Carl Kautsky, German delegate,
who has been mentioned as one OF
Germany's delegation to the peace
at Paris, spoke at the evening session
making a renewed attack against the
German ma jority socialist party. He
paid tribute to the memory of DR.
Liebknecht, his words being received
amid murmurs of sympathy from the
delegates. He concluded by saying:
Discuss BoIshevism.
"The minority Socialists, having
protested against the terms of the
Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest treaties
have today the right to claim just
treatment for the German people
| Germany must be fed. She must be
given an opportunity to get work and
avoid troubles which will lead to re
crudescence Of Bolshevism."
Among the other speakers were
Herr Grumbach of Alcase-Lorraine
Pieter J. Troelstra, of Holland, NJ
Longuet of France, and DR.. Friedericf
Adler, of Vienna. DR.. Adler accused
the former Austrian government O.
having systematically worked for thu
war"
Herr Troelstra devoted considerable
time to Bolshevism. He said he dit
not approve it but declared he did no
believe it should be condemned, a.
