bilious sum be raised? That is question that
cannot be answere off hand. In our opinion,
there is but one recourse, and that is to make
the offenders pay to the limit of their capacity
which implies scaling down the totals of each
nation entitled to indemnity. Exact annual ms
tallments, which would keep the would-be con-
querors paying tribute to the inferior races
for at least one, perhaps two generations to
come. After ALL conquering the world is ter
ribly expensive business for the conqueror who
fails, and large indemnities that will keep them
with their noses on the grinding stone for gen.
erations might prove good way of discourag-
ing the sport.

through a somewhat choppy sea and
intermittent rain squalls.
VIII Visit Wounded.
Among the troops aboard are some
regulars wounded in action. The
President probably will visit their
quarters some time during the week.
Mr.. Wilson is receiving voIuminOus
reports by wireless regarding govern
mental affairs; also concerning public
comment both in America and on the
European continent on the league of
nations covenant, the full draft of
which he read before the Peace Con-
ference just before leaving Paris. The
President has refrained from ex-
pressing himself in any way on this
mOmentous subject since he began his
homeward journey.
1t is likely that he will reveal his
position and explain some cIouded
matters Immediately on his arrival in
the United States.

Tho War Department. it is pointed
out, is now taking on discharged SOL
diers versed in Carpentering or other
of the skilled trades at uuion wages,
but a great proportion of national
army men. it is admitted, cannot
qualify as skilled artisans.
Not only is the army being demobi-
liZed. but the Federal departments are
stripping down to a prewar basis with
few exceptions. Some 2,397 war

to land in Boston.
1t is practically assured President
wilson will deliver an address on
the league of nations on the day Of

lngs suitable for the occasion are
under consideration, and il is likely
that either Mechanics Hall or the
Boston Opera House will be Sc

Mayor Peters will appoint a
special committee to welcome the
President and it was stated that
Gov. Coolidge will cooperate with

Should the President debark in the
morning ii is believed that he will

soon afterwards as possible. Sec

UPRISING AGAIN
MENACES BERLIN
Spartacans Demand Re-
lease of Karl Radek on
Pain of New Revolt.

Berlin. Feb. 16.-The atmosphere
again is ominiously charged here this
morning. due to threats by the Spar
tacans to make monster demonstra-
tion today in protest against the ar
rest of Karl Radek. Bolshevist Rus
sian agitator, who has swung himself
into a position much like that of the
late DR.. Karl LiebkneCht, as leader of
the ultra radicals.
Radek. whose genius for plotting
and executing marvellous escapes, is
well known to the Berlin police. is
heavily guarded in Moabit prison.
Nearby is stationed the same regi-
ment that was called out to aid in
his sensational arrest the other day.
Openly Thcatcn Storm.
Spartacans are openly threatening
they will storm the prison. free Ra-
dek and disarm Chief of Police Rein
hard's troops. They add they will oc-
Cupy the government buildings and
newspaper offices.
If they were to carry out only part
of their announced program revolt
would once more be in full swing.
The strike menace, always a har-
binger of terroist moveemnts, is
growing. Bankers. night watchers
and bill posters are in the lead. The
bill posters can be dispensed with,
but the bakers walkout adds to the
danger of famine. and the watch
mems strike puts fresh wind into the
wave of crime sweeping Berlin.

HOT CAMPAIGN
WILL Be WACED
ON LEAGUE PLAN
Will Be Second in Intensity
Only to National Po-
litical Election.
RADICALS PLAN FIGHT
Hope to Create Sentiment
Against Wilson's Plan by
Monroe Doctrine Cry.

A propaganda campaign, in extent
second only to that of a national po-
Iitical election. will be launched by
the administration in support of the
proposed constitution of the league of
nations within a week of the arrival
at Boston of President Wilson.
As result of the invitation extend
ed by the President to members of
the Foreign Relations Committee and
the Foreign Affairs Committee of the
Houses of Congress to discuss with
him the proposed international agree
ment, it is now clear that old-guard
Republican leaders will refrain from
criticism of the plan. Their action, it
is said, is Influenced by the thought
that the plan is satisfactory to the
people of the United States, or the
thought that no political benefit would
accrue from such maneuyer.
Radicals to Fight Adoption.
1t is equally clear that the So
called radical wing of the Repub-
lican party Is convinced that the
plan will not meet with popular ap-
proyaI and already are outlining
arguments which they hope will
lead public opinion to vote down the
plan. 1t is understood that some
of the better known speakers OF
this group will deliver a series OF
public addresses and that Senator
Borah may take the lead in the
campaign.
Administration leaders now in
Washington are eagerly awaiting
word from the President as to the
part they may play in seeking adop-
ton in this country of the league
constitution. Secretary Daniels Is
holding himself in readiness to take
the stump, and Secretary Baker has
said that he will fOrego his pro-
jected trip to France, If the Presi-
dent so desires. From the halls OF
Congress such speakers as Senator
Hardwick and others will join in
taking the message of the White
House direct to the people.
From expressions which followed
publication of the proposed leagues
covenant, it is clear to leaders here
that the struggle for popular en-
dorsement of the Presidents policy
will hinge about two arguments:
First-Opponents will urge that
the plan nuIlifies the Moproe doc
trine and say il would make every
young man liable to military serv-
ice in any quarter of the globe.
Second-Supporters of the plan
will endeavor to persuade the Amer
lean people that the time has gone
when the United States can refuse
to accept responsibility OF protect
ing a weaker nation.
Position on Monroe Doctrine.
The President in an address to the
Mexican editors at the White House,
June :, 1918. made his position on the
Monroe doctrine the subject of COM
ment. He stated that one of the diff
ficultles in the relationship between
the United States and the Southern
republics was that the Monroe doc
trine was adopted without the con-
sent of any OF the South or Central
American states He then pointed out
that he had observed anxiety by these
states lest the United States should
become an aggressor, and in Continu-
ing. said:
so l say. let us make an arrange
