Warsaw, Feb. 25.-"We must fight
the treacherous Poles to the last SOL
der" This is the dictum Of Leon
Trotzky, Russian Bolshevik minister
of war, sent from the Perm front to
the Smolensk- Minsk headquarters,
whence the troops have been ordered
to advance on Baranovichi. Thotzky
Is anxious to give the Poles what ho
terms a lesson" as he especially
hates Paderewski.
It is just revealed that PRIOR TO
Paderewskis becoming premier. the
members of the Polish legation In Mos.
COW were arrested and some shot.
When the Warsaw government protest
ed, the Moscow government replied:
1--WE are surprised. We thought We
were doing you favor by locking up
your bourgeois representatives"
Trotzky has assumed an exalted
military attitude, assembling about
him commissaries whom he treats a.
marshals. He holds frequent reviews,
sometimes riding on horseback wear
ing a high sheepskin cap and calling
out to the men: Good morrow, my
little soldiers"
Whereupon they reply: Good NOR
row, comrade."
"Comrade" Steals Overcoat.
These close relations, however, did
not prevent one of his comrades from
stealing Trotzky's sable overcoat re-

minister was enjoying his usual sump-
tuous meal.
Trotzky, who has of late assumed
quarrel with Nikolai Lenine. Bolshe-
vik premier, regarding the proposed
Princess Islands conference. He
strongly opposed this conference, but
Lenine prevailed. Lenine desires to
preserve Bolshevism at any cost, and
also to keep in as far as possible with
the Allies, in the belief that Bolshe-
vism will sweep the world.
Sverdloff of the Central executive
committee OF the council Of workmen's
and soldiers delegates has been play

Lenine and has been engaged at VIII
ma. Minsk and other points in urging
the Bolshevik officers to cease their
crimes and keep semblance of order,
as reports of murder and pillage are
reaching the "capitalistic press"
Meanwhile Trotzky Is continuing to
build up an army, which Is now esti.
mated at 100000 men. He is supposed
to have ammunition for six months.

Senator Lewis Of Illinois Defends
LEAGUE of Nations.

Washington. Feb. 25.-The first ad-
dress in the senate in defense of the
proposed constitution of the league of
nations was delivered by Senator
Lewis OF Illinois, Democratic whip,
who took issue with the recent criti-
cisms made by Senators Borah of
Idaho. Republican, and Reed of Mis-
souri,. Democrat
Speaking for nearly two hours, Sena.
tor Lewis denied contentious of op-
ponents Of the league that 1t would
abrogate the Monroe doctrine, that It
was departure from the principles
OF Washington and Jefferson; that It
would dictate world armament and
that America would be outvoted BY
the United Kingdom.

Chief Executive In Address at Boston
Throws Down Gauntlet to Those
Who Distrust Proposed Con-
cert Of Governments.

Boston, Feb. 36.-President Wilson
intends to fight at home as he has
battled abroad for q league Of nations.
Returning from France, he had been
on American soil not more than three
hours before he threw down the
gauntlet to those who distrust the pro-
posed concert OF governments. based.
he said, on the American ideals which
had won the war for justice and hu-
mainly.
An America combining to her own
territory her own conception and pur.
pose to make men free, he said, would
be merely keeping her power for
those narrow. selfish, provincial pur-
poses which seem SO dear to some
minds that have no sweep beyond
their nearest horizon"
Americas New Purpose.
Before q responsive audience that
filled the biggest auditorium in the
city, the President pictured the old
world fighting with stubborn despera-
ton and expecting in the end nothing
better for the peoples than they had
known for centuries.
The President pictured the Ameri.
can nation entering the lists with
new purpose,-the freedom of man
kind. The old world had caught the
vision and any treaty OF peace drawn
otherwise than in the new spirit would
be nothing more, he asserted, than a
modern scrap Of paper" and the
present peace. unless guaranteed by
the united force of the civilized world,
could not stand a generation.
Bending over the speakers table,
his face set in tense lines and his
right hand clenched. the President ex-
claimed:
ANY man who thinks that America
will take part in giving the world any
such rebuff and disappointment as
that, does not know Amesica in.

nation"

no sweeter challenge than the issue
OF the American purpose in the war.
Il have fighting blood in me-" he
said. with apparent feeling, and it
is sometimes delight to let it have
scope, Tut II 1t Is challenge on this
occasion 1t will be an indulgence"
At another point in his address the
President said that il the great hope
OF the world for a league of nations
was disappointed. he would wish for
my part, never to have had America
play any part whatever in this at
tempt to emancipate the world. I
have no more doubt Of the verdict of
America In this matter than l have
doubt Of the blood that is in me-"

This week has sen the first seri-

sugar shortage which is troubling
many sections of the country, and
the increased cost of that commOd-
ity which attends the shortage In
this city sugar is scarce, the whole

Monday, the custom became al
most general over the city Of al
lowing sugar to be bought in small
lots only. Five pounds is the reg
ular limit TO a sugar sale. and to
this practically all grOcers ad-
here. In addition the price has
been boosted to II cents per pound.
Just where the difference comes in
no one has yet definitely said. Re
tailers have put a limit upon the
size Of a sale for the accommoda-
ton of the public, to allow the linn
fed supply to be distributed fairly.
They have raised the price because
the wholesale price has gone up.
There seems no legitimate reason
for this For instance, it is well
known that at the present time
warehouses in many parts OF the
country are bursting with bump
er crop from the sugar section.
This information was made public
by the government only a few
weeks ago.
Some Have None.
South Rock Island groceries, in
many instances, have been unable
to get sugar for even their regular
customers, for days past. Larger
firms have been more fortunate but
are still constrained to adhere to
the higher price and small lot ar
engagements. They have no knoWl-
edge as to when alienation of the
situation will come, but are rely
