a "new bourgeoisie" and added that
the situation in Petrograd is growing
worse and that there have been nu-
nerous 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-
ton 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 it's 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.
In both Japan and the United States
a considerable number of newspapers
are busy trying to stir up trouble be-
tween the two countries, or processing
to find signs of discord in current
events. The latest matter to arouse
them is the return of Ambassador Ishii,
though this may be fairly attributed to
the fact that the administration that
sent him to Washington has gone out
of power. Another possible reason Is
that Japan's appointment of Baron
Yoshito Sakatani as financial adviser
to China was not approved by the
United States. A few days ago the
story was published that the American
troops in Siberia refused to help a
Japanese contingent at HabarOvsk be-
cause the latter had shot down Rus
sian women and children; the Japan
csc detachment was practically ami
hilated. Now it appears the murders
were committed by Cossacks and that
the japanese suffered while trying to
defend them from another faction OF
Russians. General Graves would not
interfere because American operations
there are limited to the protection of
property and of the railroad.
The aDti-American campaign in the
Japanese press is especially lively, and
Uncle Sam is accused Of being aggres-
sive, hypocritical and selfish, presum-
ably because the Monroe doctrine
clause was included in the league of
nations convention and the equality of
nationals left out. Japan is not cutting
quite such an important figure in the
Paris negotiations as she had expected
to, and the people are rather sore as
a result But there is no fear in Off
cial circles that friendly relations will
be ruptured.

Affairs are not going smoothly in
Poland, and for this some blame may
be attached to the policy of the peace
delegates in yielding to Germany in
the matter of Danzig. Though Gen
eral Haller's divisions already have
begun their movement through Ger
many to Poland, the Paderewski gov
eminent has lost prestige, for the peo-
pie fear that the seaport they SO much
desire will not be awarded them by
the treaty, and even may not be inter
nationalized. There is almost continu.
Gus fighting on the borders of the
POsen district and it has spread to the
East Prussian frontier. Haller'S troops
are passing through Germany at the
rate of three trainloads day, and
each train is accompanied by allied
officers and guards. The utmost pre-.
cautions are taken to prevent conflicts
with the German populace.

Lloyd Georges speech was declared
to be one of the most eloquent and
sensational ever heard in the house of
commons. Primarily, he arose to de-
fend himself against the attacks of his
critics, and he not only did that, but
hurled defiance at those critics. He
declared that his prediction pledges
Of exacting full payment from Ger
many and furnishing the former kaiser
and other guilty Huns were to be
kept; that the peace commissioners
wanted a peace that was just and
sternly severe but not vindictive; that
military intervention in Russia would

ciated nations would be ready to stop

All discussion of the treaty, outside
the peace congress, is based on unoffi-
cial reports, for the allied delegates
decided that it would be foolish, if not
dangerous, to reveal the terms of the
treaty before 1t was submitted to the
Germans. The public, or considerable
parts of it, in England, France and,
to a less extent, America, objected
strenuously to this policy by which
the German national assembly would
get the treaty before the rest of the
world; but it was sustained by the
French chamber of deputies by vote
Of 334 to 166, and it was vigorously de-
Tended by Premier Lloyd George in
his speech in the house of commons.
The British leader argued that if the
terms were made public now there
would of necessity be much spoken
and written criticism of them, since
it was hopeless to satisfy everyone,
and that those criticisms, reprinted in
Germany, would give the enemy the
false idea that the terms were object
ed to by the British public as too
harsh, which would encourage the
Germans to refuse to sign the treaty

claiming so loudly since the first Of the

The signing OF Eddie Stack by the
Ragens is regarded as one of the best
moves Grienke could have made and
sounds good to local fans On paper
right now the Ragens show Just a little
more class than any of the travelling
clubs of the league The last cloud of
doubt regarding their ability was swept
away last Sunday when they defeated
the South Chicago team with Mack on
the mound, who is well known TO Ham

If names count for anything. the
Ragens should be poppy bunch as they
are really the only club in the Chicago

Italy has been forced 70 expend large
sums of money for many years in protec-

This money was thus expended instead of
being used for school purposes, ard other

by Italy that hereafter she may have such
natural protection from her enemies that
her schools and public works will not
suffer development from lack of funds.
