 The massacre took place after 32 villages surrounding 0denburg had re- fused to go over to Bolshevism. They desired to join Austria.
 Bella Kun, communist leader and minister of foreign affairs, and Jos- eph Pogany, Bolshevik minister of war. visited the districts, then sent orders to Commissioner Somely, to whom such class of work is usually deputed, to conduct acquisitions of clothing, food and imperial poper crowns, now called blue" money, to distinguish 1t from fred" or soviet money.
 Peasants Resist Attack.
 The peasants, according to the ad- vices, gathered small army number ing a few thousand, armed with rifles, axes, scythes and similar weapons, against which red division was sent. The peasants were surrounded. Koln- hof was shelled; then machine guns were turned against it on Thur saav and Friday night A majority of those fleeing from the burning vil- lage were shot. Those who were cap- tured were hanged.
 Patriotism in Prague.
 Patriotism is at white heat in Prague, according to reports from the Czech capital The pride of the Czechs, it Is reported, has been hurt by the de- feat of the Czech legionaires, who have been regarded, especially by the weznen, as the worlds greatest sol diexs.
 The legionaires, trained in France, have been doing the best work against zhe Hungarians. While the Czech sol fziers generally are Socialists, there are no indications that they have been tainted by Boishevism.

ATTEMPT TO CHEAT CHEAT
 YOUR UNCLE SAMMY
Prominent Detroit Men, and Army Off, ficials Charged With Plotting to De- fraud the Government and Sell
 Munitions to Huns.

Detroit, Mich, June 9.--A plot to defraud the government out of muni- tion supplies valued at $30O,000, ,000 has been nipped in the bud by Arthur I. Barkey, chief of the Bureau of h. vestigation of the local Department of Justice Office.
 The supplies were to be disposed of abroad. it was said, and it was as- sumed that the market was to be found in the German militarist groups.
 Two army officers and two others have been secretly indicted by a fed- eral grand jury on conspiracy charg- es, it was learned. The men are: Capt. Satorios Nicholson of Washington, D. C., field manager and disbursing off cer of the Ordnance Department of the United States army; Grant Hugh Browne, race track owner and we'll known turnout the United States and Canada; Fred c. Collins, vice counsul of Greece and president of the Mer- chants Realty Company of this city and major in the United States army.
 Nicholson, Barowne and a wealthy New York junk dealer named Bert Harris, who is said to be implicated, are under arrest at Fort Wayne. Browne was chief conspirator, accord ing to Barkey. Collins also has been arrested.
 The alleged conspiracy consisted of securing the cooperation of an Sin siders" to reject all outsiders bids up- on munitions the governments was to salvage in Detroit leaving only those of the conspirators to be considered Harris and Collins were induced by Brown to act as dummy bidders, Bar key declared, and Browne's bid would be slightly over theirs but far below the value of the supplies.
 Under this plan S600,000 worth were purchased last week, it was all 1 legged.
 But an Ordinance Department off, cer had discovered the scheme way back in the winter, when the carefully laid plans were developed and secret service men were connecting the threads of the alleged conspiracy. Dictaphones were installed in Nichol- sons room and many talks held by the plotters were overheard and re- corded, it is reported.

HARVEST OPENS THIS WEEK.
Threshers Will Hum in Missouri and
 Oklahoma.

Kansas City. June 9.--Before this week ends, unless weather prospects go awry, the hum of harvesting ma chinery in Oklahoma and Missouri, and perhaps, in a few localities in Kansas, will sound the call for the beginning of the Middle Vests big gest wheat harvest.
 Stormy weather, which injured some Oklahoma prospects, was followed by an early harvest of green wheat in some sections--a harvest. which is on now, of the the damaged grain, to be used for feeding. But that is not the real beginning of the harvest.
 Wheat is turning fast in the sun shine of two or three days. The last of this week the harvest will be on in earnest in Oklahoma; it will begin on a small scale in Missouri and will find final preparations made in Kansas.

THE GREAT RUSSIAN ACTRESS

At the Royal Theatre tomorrow and
Thursday there will be presented one
of the most startling and thrilling
of screen plays, "The Red IEntern," I"
portraying the great Russian Actress,
ALI Nazim ova, in character of rare
power and fascinating interest.
In this remarkable play the great
artistic appears in dual role; a half
caste Chinese and English girl, and
her half sister, an English girl. The
conflicting blood coursing in the veins
of the half caste and the love rivalry
developed between the two give some
very remarkable situations; and the
scene of the plot, laid in China, with
views of the Forbidden City, back the
plot and play with a wonderful stag
ing. One historic street is reproduced
as part of the scenery; and its de-
struction by fire is a great thriller.
This remarkable production will
draw crowded houses.

In entering the war through to the
end. and, as part of the undertake
ing, we must help to reestabiish a
new world order in the settlement OF
the terms of peace, which can only
be done by our becoming a member
of the league of nations.
Il believe the great mass of the
American people are convinced that
something must be done to prevent
future wars. They want something
done. They do not want to leave the
world in its old condition and they
favor the league of nations, based up
on international cooperation as the
best solution Of the problem. I am
in favor of the principles embodied
in the league of nations. This does
not mean that I have reached a de-
cision that the league should be rati-
fed in the precise form in which 4
is now presented.
There has been much controversy
over the question whether the league
should not be separated from the
peace treaty. 1 have always be-
lieved the league to be insepara BILE
from the peace treaty because the
treaty cannot be enforced except
through the league. The peace
treaty leaves the world on fire, with
national aspirations unsatisfied, ter
ritorial limits underlined, racial con-
flicts impending and with incipient
wars already started. If it is I'M
thinkablc for us to desert England,
France and Italy when the world Is
in, chaos we must become a mem
Der of the league as providing the
only machinery for the restoration
of peace and order.
The provisions of the league with
respect to arbitration or investiga-
ton and report. have been criticized
as not strong enough. but they clear
ly will tend to prevent war. As to
the general objection that the league
creates a super state and hence is
destructive Of our independence and
sovereignty, l am unable to see the
force of the arguments in support of
this proposition. Super states cam
not be formed when every material
power that is exercised by the league
ltiuhNo tiiS consent OF
the executive council or of delegates.
Nor am l impressed with the con-
stitutional objections. The treaty.
making power under the constitution
is of the broadcast character and It
includes everything that is properly
covered by the term treaty and is not
in conflict with some express prov.
iSiOn of the constitution
Il believe the popular sentiment is
universal, and / certainly share 1t,
that the Monroe Doctrine should be
clearly safeguarded. I also believe
that domestic questions like immi-
grafton, which in some Of their as
poets may be international, should
be properly safeguarded. The storm
center of these reservations seems to
be Article 10. AS to the retention
of this article much may be said on
both sides. It may be argued that
the United States ought not to bind
itself for all time to guarantee the
territorial integrity and political in.
dependence of the members of the
league against external aggression
and yet that argument might not APP
ply with the same force to protect
ing the territorial settlements made
