Viewed as Protest
Against Draft Law

LONDON, April 1S,-(Sunday.)-
(Via Montreal.)- commenting
upon the result of the Hubby cleo
ton last week in which the coali-
ton, or government candidate, was
defeated, the Daily Express re-
marks:
1--WE have faith in David Lloyd
George and Andrew Bonar Law as
heads of the government, but no
belief whatever in the abilities of
several of their colleagues or in the
policies these gentlemen are fore
ing on an unwilling people. The
country is crying out against the
men who want to carry the spirit
and methods of the. war Iadministra-
ton into an era of peace"
The Daily News finds in the re-
suit a definite pronouncement
against CONSUMPTION.
The Manchester Guardian declares
"tl1e electors think they have been
fooled and don't like it, There was
a great deal of humbug and pure
demogogy at the general election and
unhappily our versatile prime min
lister was in more ways than one
responsible for these things. Ger
many. which was to pay all, will
pay something, if we are lucky, and

The Guardian also ascribes the
defeat to the establishment over
the punishment of the kaiser and
the abolition of conservation.

Senator Poindexter
Still Opposes League
Despite Amendments

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Po1ndeXter, Washington, today in a
telegram to his office here, cited rea-
sons why he is still opposed to the
proposed League of Nations cove
nant despite announced amendments.
He declares if vote in an inter
national dispute must be unanimous
he league is needless and if the par
ties to the dispute can't vote their
vital affairs are entirely under con-
troll OF an alien tribunal.
His other objections:
That any member nation is still
forever under discretion and control
Of the league forever because it
can't withdraw unless it's obligations
are performed;
That the article providing against
increases of the army and navy be-
yond the point fixed by the league is
unconstitutional;
That the league still assumes it
may in the future have jurisdiction
on the question of immigration;
That the league covenant still con-
tains article IL;
That the guarantees of personal
and territorial independence of every
nation is "cruel and unconscienable
burden to place on the American peo-
ple;''
That the war declaration article is
shameful affront against the
peace and civilization of the world"
That the provisions which subjects
nonmembers of the league to it's or
derS sets up such military
despotism as the world has never be-
fore conceived.

Bolshevik Propaganda
Received in WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, April IA mass
Of Bolsheviki propaganda, believed
responsible for undermining the
morale of American troops in RUS
STA, has been received at the war de-
partment and will be published.
The propaganda was taken bv
army authorities from letters for
w!arrded BY soldiers to their relatives
in the United States.
Much of the propaganda was di-
rected at British troops. All declares
that allied troops are in Russia as
part of the conspiracy to restore a
car to power. One leaflet, under the
heading "All Lies" declared that al
lied troops are in Russia against the
will OF the people and that Except
for a few hungry peasants" imme-
diately around Archangel the Rus
sian people wish to be left alone to
work out their own destiny.
Know!Hdge of the nature of the
Bolshevik propaganda is expected to
be valuable to the war department..
1t has been hard to fight the propa-
ganda because of the difficulty of
finding the nature of attacks. The
propaganda is circulated only where
BolSheViI agents were certain thew
would make an impression.
