5000 of 1000 Jews
In Proskulov Slain
Report of Massacre Near Odessa
in February Just Received
in This Country

Five thousand out of total of 1000
Jews in Proskulov, near Odessa, were
killed in a pogrom that lasted from
2 to 6 o'clock the afternoon of Feb
ruary Is.
A long delayed report of this massa-
ere has just been received by Jewish
relief agencies in this country and was
made public last night by the Ameri
can Jewish Relief Committee for Suf-
ferers from the War, at 15 East For
tieth Street. The report is one of the
few indications of actual conditions in
the Ukraine that have emerged from
the obscurity enveloping that country.
Word of the pogrom was contained
in letter received by the organization
from Rabbi Aaron Tetelbaum, its re-
lief agent in Constantinople.
"Jews are being massacred daily in
the Ukraine" his letter says. "In
Proskulov, near Odessa, 5000 out Of
1000 Jews were killed February Is be-
tween and in the afternoon. Most
of those surviving were seriously
wounded. Report of this pogrom,
brought to me by handful of refugees
who just arrived from Odessa, has
since been confirmed by official authori-
ties and by Russian newspapers"

Preferable TO Agreement

Neto York Tribune

WASHINGTON, May 10--The pro-
posed alliance between the United
States, England and France for the
protection of France against future
German aggression was Endorsed in
a statement issued here to-day by
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, who de-
clared that he "would much prefer to
protect France than to enter into any
agreement by which we were to pro-
tect all the nations of the world"
:. Senator Cummins's comment on the
@covenant. although guarded, ncverthe-
less indicated plainly that he would
favor amending it. The original OBJ
jections to the first covenant proposed
by President Wilson have been "partly
removed he said. at may safely be
said there will be an energetic effort
on the part of those of us who feel
that Article x is still Objectionable to
write into the resolution of ratification
language which will c1ear up ON.
doubts
ANY comment I make on the league
of nations" said Senator Cummins,
land the treaty of peace l wish to
preface by saying | have not examined
carefully the provisions of the treaty
and closer reading may clarity my
ideas.
Pleased at Peace Terms
1.-THE heavy conditions imposed upon
Germany are gratifying. l hope they
may prove to be so drastic that they
will effectually prevent Germany from
repeating her atrocities and crimes.
"As to the suggested alliance for
the protection of France, l am willing
to defend any country against Ger
many and especially France. | am
in favor of making the future safe
for France, because of our sympathy
for France and her people and partly
because that was one of the reasons
we entered the war | would much
prefer to protect France than to enter
into any agreement by which we were
to protect all the nations of the world.
Had Three Objections
when President Wilson presented
the first draft of the league covenant
l had three objections to the proposed
constitution, and | said if they were
removed | would support the proposal.
These objections were: First, the
jurisdiction exercised by the legisla-
tive council of the league over our
purely internal policies might give rise
to controversy between ourselves and
other countries. Second, Article X.
Third, the obligation of the United
States to accept from the league of
nations the mandatory for admins
tration of foreign country or people
1.-TWO of these objections have been
partly removed. There has been no
attempt to amend or change Article
X, and it is just as Objectionable
as ever. 1t safely may be said there
will be an energetic effort on the
part of these of us who feel that way
to write into the resolution Of rati-
tication language that will clear up
our doubts.
THE terms of the treaty of peace
and the covenant of the league of ma
tons should be separated"

Venezuela Forces Rout
Invaders From Colombia
RevOlutionists Abandon Arms
and Dead in Their Hur,
ried Oenart11re

CARACAS, Venezuela, May 10 (Ey
The Associated Press) .-Revolutionists
who invaded Venezuela from Colombia
late in April were defeated completely
in fighting on April % and April 80
and have retired into Colombia, the
government announced to-day.
The revolutionists, led by Ernesto
Livares, crossed the frontier at Urona
and San Autoned, after an unsuccess-
full attempt to assassinate General
Eustoquio Gomez, Governor of the
State of Tachira
The revolutionists abandoned their
arms and their dead in their retirement
and left prisoners in the hands of the
government forces. General Rugeles,
the government commander, was killed
after successful defence of his posi-
tons.
Public opinion condemns the attempt
to start civil war. The revolutionary
effort, from all indications, received no
support anywhere in Venezuela.

as his personal view of the method
the Senate should pursue in consider
ing ratification. Other Senators on
the Foreign Relations Committee, how
ever, expressed the view that this plan
was impracticable.
"Thore is no information when the
treaty will be sent to the Senate" Sem
ator Penrose said. "There may be de-
lays 1t may be necessary to make
more partitions Of territory before the
door is closed to future despoiling.
Italy may yet have to be satisfied fully.
"When the treaty comes to the Sem
ate it, of course, will be referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations
and the committee will proceed
promptly with the meas>re. This con-
sideration will take considerable time
and it is reasonable to suppose that
the committee might want to have
hearings in order to be informed OF
the reason and arguments concerning
some particular detail. 1t is almost
certainty that the treaty document will
be amended in the committee to con-
siderable extent and will later on be
doubtless further amended on the floor
of the Senate.
cit might turn out that President
Wilson will appear before the commit
tee personally to inform it concerning
the measure, and in any event, as
have frequently stated, | believe that
the proceedings in the Senate should
be open and public"
AS to the Shantung concessions,
which characterized as despoilation
of China, Senator Penrose said:
81 got the impression that the CIV
ing of Shantung to Japan is viola
ton of every principle of the league
of nations 1t seems to me to be moth
ing short of a bride to Japan to con-
cur in the league. 1t bars the way to
rights and privileges of 4o,o0O,o0oo
Chinese and dispossesses China Of vital
rights against her will.
1.-THE United States has been invited
to join the league of nations and,
under the provisions of Article x, Of
the covenant, this country, as well as
any other party to the league, will be
called upon to guarantee for all time
the possession of Shantung by Japan.
The Chinese will find it difficult to
comprehend the practical workings of
the idealistic programme outlined in
the Fourteen Points. China has been
despoiled and no unctuous phrases can
alter the fact"

HE has instructed us all to take
him In MS one of the family, give him
our fullest confidence, and help him

My personal belief is that Della.
plane was sent down there to find
some reason for relieving General
Martin, hut being capable and
honest officer, he had reported that
Martin should not be relieved, and
that he was handling the brigade
wisely and ably.
The date set for the great advance
drew near. Martin had studied the
ground before his brigade so inten- |
sively that he was probably more
familiar with ii than any other Off
Ger in the corps. Rumors concerning
him grew more numerous. He was to
be taken to corps headquarters and
given a staff job; he was to have a
division TO command; he was TO be
sent to the rear, to make sure that
there would not be another Funston
ease.
On September 81 orders came for
lim to report to corps headquarters
General Martin did not know what ,
was to happen further than that he
vas taken away from the brigade he
lad commanded, and away from the
Kansas troops he had led so long.
