YANKS RESCUE
HARD PRESSED
ALLIED FORCE.
u. S. Men March 80
Miles and Halt Foe
Push on British.

Archangel, Wednesday, Feb. u.
--tBy the Associated Press -
American reinforcements marching
over 30 miles of a forest trail,
reached the hard pressed British
and Russians in the region of Sred-
makrenga yesterday. The result
was that the BolsheYiki, who had
been launching strong attacks in
this region, retired to the south
wards, apparently abandoning their
offensive move.
The Bolsheviki evidently feared
that they would be cut off in the
rear and they withdrew before the
Americans reached Sredmakrenga.
Conditions on other sections of
the northern Russian front were
unchanged today.

ment of the Soviet army, and
schools for aviators have been
opened.
General Vetritis, a Lett, has been
appointed commander in chief of
all the soviet armies.
The troops bread ration has been
reduced from two pounds to one
pound daily, the information shows,
and there are other indications
that the Bolsheviki suffer food
shortage.

report states that Mr.. Wilson's
opinion, the non-execution of terms
of the armistice by Germany would
be an incident of such a nature as
to Justify the resumption of war
and It is stated that he would not |
hesitate in that case to order the |
American army to take up arms |
again.

PEACE AS A PARTISAN ISSUE.

rTOu tuc NEW 1OI n "OlIu'
Senator Borah's insisten demand
that the covenant Of the League OF Ma
lions shall be made a partisan issue
has already been complied with by the
Republican leaders of the United
States Senate. They have already
made it a partisan issue, and have
used their power to stack the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations with Re-
publican Senators who are known to
be hostile to the covenant.
It is true that Senator Lodge has
said that 81 do not regard it as party
question and never have" but Senator
Lodges actions caanot be reccnciled
with his words. He has treated it as
party question from the outset, and
began by inducing thirty-seven Re-
publican Senators to sign a round
robin declaring in favor OF amend
ments to the covenant which they re-
fused to formulate and the nature OF
which they have persistently declined

THE. CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE
PRESIDENT

In a recent address in Chicago
j former Senator Lewis Of Illinois de
clared that no head of this govern
ment had ever faced 80 organized q
conspiracy" to prevent the truth Of
his work being known, and mo man
in power had been so deliberately mis-
represented" asp President Wilson.
That a conspiracy such 40 described
by Senator Lewis undoubtedly exists,
but It does not follow by any means
that any considerable number Of peo-
pie in this country are in sympathy
with the conspiracy or that they will
have the support Of majority Of the
members Of either house of Congress,
or anything like majority.
These conspirators have their place.
They are in the same class with the
.copperheads that tried to annoy Pres
ident Lincoln during our struggle for
national unity.

to explain.

to explain.
Senator Borah expects to "see the
Republican party take firm and I'M
compromising position" in regard to
the League and all questions relating
to it. Senator Lodge has done his
best to realize the Idaho Senator's
expectations. In spite Of the vehe-
mence of the Borah rhetoric, sage
brush craftsmanship has no quarrel
with Goldfish craftsmanship on that is
sue.
The difference between Borah and
Lodge is the difference between Sen
ator who is playing politics openly
with the treaty of peace and Senator
who is playing politics secretly with
it while he disclaims any thought of
partisanship. Borah has always been
against any League Of Nations and
naturally would like to have the Re-
publican Party indorse his parochial
prejudice, even to the extent Of stalk
ing the Presidency on it. Lodge was
one of the earliest champions Of
League of Nations and had gone on
record two years and. half before
President Wilson incorporated the
League, in the fourteen points of his
address to Congress in January, 1913.
In delivering the Honorary Chan
cellor's address at Union College in
June, 1915, Senator Lodge said:
Nations must unite as men unite
in order to preserve peace and or
der. The great nations must be
so united as to be able to say to
any single country, "You must not
go to war;" and they can only say
that effectively when the coun-
try desiring war knows that the
force which the united nations
place behind peace is irresistible.
Henry Cabot Lodge was enthusiast
tically in favor of League of Nations
until there was chance to get a
League of Nations. But no sooner had
President Wilson made the League of
Nations an accomplished fact so far
as the. Peace conference was con-
cerned than Senator Lodge set forth
to burke the covenant, and he has
been persistenly engagd in that task
ever since.

MAKING THEMSELVES RIDIC.
ULOUS.

At some future time the Senate OF
the United States will have an exceed
ingly important Official duty to perform
in reference to the peace treaty; but
as a matter OF. law, until that time
shall come no senator has any more
right to make demands upon the Presi-
dent for information about how he
is performing his part Of the work
than has the high and mighty ruler
Of the Order of Elks. The few sena-
tors who are making these demands
are simply making themselves ridic-
ulous.
Under our form Of government the
President, and he alone, is given the
power to negotiate treaties; but the
country is not bound by any treaty
until it is presented to and ratified
by the Senate.
The delegates at the present Peace
Conference are earnestly endeavoring
to solve the most gigantic problems
ever presented for solution to human
agencies. Humanity is still staggering
from the effects of a gigantic world
war, but everywhere sane men are
demanding that these problems must
be solved in manner that will SAFE
guard the future peace Of the world.
The President of the United States
Is the guiding spirit OF that world
conference The IA points formula
ted by his master mind constitute,
by common consent, a pattern for
the treaty. No attempt is being made
to draft treaty along other or diff
ferent lines. III Y:
The world at no time has any use
for demagogues, but at . time like the
present the demogue is menace to
humanity.
The few senator's who are bowling
like hungry wolves and crashing their
teeth at the President are in our
judgment demagogues, dangerous dem
7agogues; but It does not seem possible
that they will beable to prevent the rati-
fication Of the. peace treaty after it
has been agreed upon by the repre-
sentatives of the nations Of the world.

If the allies knew for a certainty
that the system of friedrich the Great
and the kaiser and the Krupps and
the, Tripits was thing of the past,
a thing that would never again afflict
the German people or any other peo-
pie, there might be less severity in
the peace treaty. But is this system
dead, or only playing possum? That
is question that even the German
people are u9able to answer for a
certainty. Wien the German people
are able to furnish proof that their
Junkers, who are more cruel and fe-
rocious than wild beasts, are no long
er menace to mankind, then, and
not until then, can Germany be treat
ed as a trusted member in the fam
lily of nations.

HATE

The kaiser's victorious legions sang
songs of hate while they were mang-
ling the defenseless women and chill
dren of Belgium. Now they call the
peace treaty a Photographed song Of
hate. In the minds of many it seems
to make a great difference by whom
a song is sung. Hate, however, should
have no place In our reconstructed
world. The German songs of hate did
much to turn the civilized world
against them, and, profting by what
befell the Germans, the Allies should,
and we believe that they have, avoided
the spirit Of hate in their demands up
on a fallen foe.
