Bolshevik Forces
Evacuate Wilma as
Films Gain Ground
Petrograd Refugees See
Either Imperialism or Nj
hilism From Regime;
Say Trotzky May Be Gar

BASEL, Feb. 9.-Advices received
here from Kovno assert that as re-
suit OF the success of the Lithuanian
troops and an advance by Finnish and
Esthonian troops the Bolsheviki have
evatuated Wilma.
WARSAW, Feb. (By The Associate d
Press).-That Bolshevism is in its crti-
cal stage, either turning to imperial
ism, with perhaps Leon Trotzky, Min
1ster OF war and Marine. as the new
Emperor, or slipping back to the idea
OF Nlhllism. with a sort of orderly dis
order, is the impression given bv many
refugees of all nationalities who have
arrived here from Russia. One of them
was Boishevik soldier who deserte d
while his contingent was engaged in
raldlng the country west of Minsk.
1rotZky Knows BOlshevism Has Failed
"Our chief characteristic" he said
lis that we are tired-tired Of fooling
tired of killing, tired of fighting and
tired of wandering from pillar to most,
There is no doubt that Leon Trotzky
is attempting to obtain older and to
whip the troops into shape. He is
known to be terribly ambitious. and
possibly he is dreaming of becoming
Car. knowing that Boleshvism has
failed"
Recent rumors that the Soviet gov
eminent troops have evacuated Petro-
grad are unconfrmed. There was q
general belief in Petrograd during
January that the Allies were about to
occupy the city. 1t was even stated
that the Entente Powers had issued a
proclamation to that effect, and many
persons claimed to be able to cite
quotations from the document. Boil
sheyist chiefs have been so alarmed
that trainload of supplies was re-
Gently turned back while on the road
from Moscow to Petrograd, in the be-
llef that the Allies were in the latter
city.
Trotzky is reported to have changed
from his fashy clothes and red neck
ties to a uniform. He is said to be
riding here and there on the train
formerly at the disposal of the En-
peror, and to be using the former i'm
pcrial automobile.
The deaths at Berlin of DR.. I,ieb-
knecht and Rosa Luxembourg, the Ger
man Spartacide leaders, apparently
made a deep impression on the Boil
shevist chieftains. Trotzky ordere d
public mourning at Pctrograd fer
them. Streetcar traffic was stopped,
but when officers tried to close the
theatres the sailors are reported to
have declared they were going to dance
and enjoy themselves as usual.
1t is said that Feodor Chaliapine.
a favorite opera singer during the
later days of the imperial regime, is
singing at the opera at Moscow at an
enormous salary.
Reports have been 1eceivad tha+ nv

jailors may have holiday during

of from six to eight persons put to

Il was felt unjust to the peoples Of

As to German West Africa and South

most wished for destiny is to become
self-governing states and members Of

Of developing them along the lines

the new Polish state was characterize
to-day by John F. Smulski, Polish
commissioner i'll the United States, as
a most daring and brazen piece of
German propaganda.
"The German princeling," said Mr..
Smulski, "has not only insulted the
Polish people by intimating that they
ore incapable of self government. but
has reflected on the judgment of Presi-
dent Wilson and his advisers, who less
than ten days ago recognized the new
Polish state under the Premiership of
Mr.. PaderewskI.
LESS than a month ago was warned
by the Polish authorities in Paris and
by Paderewski that new German
propaganda drive aiming to upset the
confidence of the American people in
q united Polish state was under way,

Objections Met By
Mandatory Principle

TIE objection that single-nation con-
troll may lead to selfish exploitation
against the welfare of the colony is
net BY the mandatory principle. In
every instance the nation holding the
mandate must administer the affairs Of
the colony or country in tutelage upon
certain principles laid down in the
mandate and for the observance of
which it is responsible to the league of
nations. Thus also is established the
right Of the people concerned of appeal
to the league Of nations in cases OF
abuse Of power or failure to carry out

Conference to Follow
Successful Method

-"
The problems Of what to do with the
former German colonies, with Syria,
Mesopotamia and Constantinople, have
resulted from the events of the war
Unsuccessful experiments in govern
ments of peoples are paid for with the
blood and treasure Of men, women and
children. Surely the peace conference
has wisely chosen to follow paths
where success has attended previous
efforts rather than subject millions of
people to the possibly uncertain coun-
ellis and divided control of the newly
formed association of many nations.
IF the league of nations is to be
successful it must not be overloaded
with burdens at the beginning of it's
existence. 1t will be confronted with
more than one problem, each sufficient
to absorb the attention of those who
are directing the operations for the
preservation of peace in Europe and
the prevention of the dangers of Boil
shevism. Above all, it must secure a
reyiving of German ambitions. For
some time to come it must stand SEN
tinel over the little nations which it is
proposed to erect in Europe and which,
it is feared, will spread the dangers of
Balkan interstate jealousies from the
Egean to the Baltic
Let US not delude ourselves with
thinking that the new reign of peace
and justice in the world can be estab-
lIshed by paper constitutions and a
| league of nations. a world conscience
must first be developed, based upon a
new sense of world responsibility. To
overload the new organization with
heavy burdens at the outset Of it's ex-
istence will inevitably lead to failure.

hing it TO assume full responsibility of
government or to exercise the
right of association with some contig-
uous state the league of nations is
empowered to determine the extent to

This entire plan does not indicate
any lack of strength in the proposed
league of nations. Rather does it in
dicate a wise restraint on the part of
its promoters in not imposing impossi-
Bile tasks upon it at the outset. Direct
government of the colonies was not
made a part of the published pro-
