any attempt of the bolsheviki to over
run Europe by force. The premier as
serted that there is complete accord
among the allied commissioners, and
then he launched into bitter attack
of Lord Northcliffe, whose newspapers
he said, had been striving to sow dis
cord among the allies, to make France
distrust Britain and hate America, and
America dislike France, and Italy
quarrel with everybody. He called at.
tention to the fact that the Northcliffe
papers. which formerly ardently sup
ported President Wilson, are now hys-
terically attacking all his great ideals
and alluded to the diseased vanity
of their proprietor and his disappoint
ment because he had not been called
on to save the world. With the eX.
ception, of course, of the Northcliffe
papers, the London press gave consid-
cradle praise to the premier's speech,
and his rejection of any idea of mill
tary action in Russia was especially
well received.

"new bourgeoisie" and added that
the situation in Petrograd is growing
worse and that there have been nu-
merous anti-bolshevik outbreaks.
However, the Russians claimed Thurs
day that the soviet forces were gain
ing continued successes along the
whole front from the Baltic to the
Black sea, and in southern Russia the
situation was such that the allied
troops were constrained to abandon
more positions, following the evacua-
tion of Odessa, and it was predicted
that they would soon get out of Sc
bastopol.
Reports from Libau said the bolshe-
Wiki were Systematically and swiftly
annihilating the bourgeoisie of Riga,
having shipped 10000 of them to the
Island of Haens in the Dvina river and
forbidden the taking of food to them.
That, it may be recalled, was the
method adopted by Constantinople to
get rid of its horde of pariah dogs.
On Wednesday strong German forces
surprised and Overpowered the Lettish
troops in Libau, overthrow the Lettish
provisional government and arrested
several officials. Premier Ullman took
refuge with the British mission there
and insisted that his government would
resist the German demands.

Germans Are Summoned to Ver-
saiIIes to Receive Peace
Treaty on April rs.
TERMS NOT TOLD TO PUBLIC
Lloyd Georges Spirited Defense OF
His PoIicy-No Military lnterven-
tion in Russia, but Food if Bolshe-
Wiki Cease Hostilities - Com
munist Government of BaVa-
ria Fighting Hard.
By EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

The peace treaty with Germany is
completed and the German delegates
have been summoned to Versailles to
receive 1t on April 25.
The associated powers have agreed
that there shall be no military inter-
vention in Russia, but that they Will
send food to that country, under neu-
tral control, if the bolsheviki will stop
hostilities.
Those were the outstanding features
of the news of last week. and they bore
out the optimistic assertions that all
was progressing well in the great task
of settling the affairs of the world.
The delegation of Germans named
to go to Versailles includes the most
prominent of the German statesmen
now active in the government, except
Count Won Bernstor1f, and though they
will be given time to submit the treaty
to the national assembly at Weimar, it
is hoped they will have the authority
and the disposition to accept it with
out that formality, thus obviating de-
lay. 1t was asserted in Paris that the
allied governments would not walt be-
yond May 10 for a definite answer as
to whether or not Germany would sign
the pact. OF course the press and
public of Germany are wailing with re-
newed agony as it is made more evil
dent that the Huns will be required to
pay to the uttermost limit of their re-
sources. and repeatedly the assertion
is made that Germany will not submit
to the terms laid down in what is
called there a treaty of violence"
Even Prince Lichnowsky Joined the
chorus of protests, saying an unjustly
extorted peace can only bring forth
fresh armaments, and implying that as
a last resort Germany will go bolshe"
.vik."
