strongly opposed the formation of the
league, introduced a resolution which,
If passed, would serve notice that the
senate will not ratify a treaty the pro-
visions of which conflict with the Mon
roe doctrine and with the traditional
duty of the United States to enforce
that principle.

The matter of extending aid to Po-
land was, one of the serious things dis
cussed last week, especially serious
because it probably involves the prob
lem of what the allies shall do in the
case of Russia. The American and
British delegates were said to have
agreed that, while none Of their W
troops should be sent to help the
Poles, the two Polish divisions recruit
ed in the United States should be sent
from France through Germany to as
sist the government set up by the Po-
liSh national committee. These troops
would cooperate in stemming the tide
of bolshevism that is flowing west
from Russia, making the new Poland
a strong bulwark against that flood of
anarchy. The plan is a concession to
the ideas of the French, who are con-
WINGED that bolshevism cannot or
should not be dealt with militarily in
Russia by the allies. 1t also is likely
to compel General Pilsudski to conn
to an agreement with the Polish ma
tional committee as represented in
Poland by Paderewski.
The Spartacan revolution in Ger
many-or at least in Berlin-has fiZzled
out. Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg
were captured and, according to report,
killed. The other leaders are under ar
rest or dispersed and some hundreds Of
their followers are dead. After a week
of terror the police were reinstated and
armed, order was restored and bust
ness was resumed. In some other
but their chance for ultimate success
seems to have gone glimmering. For
n thing, Hindenburg still has under
his command an efficient army Of more
than a million men, and most of these
troops he Is holding true to the Ebert
government. =
This fact about the German army
leads to the warning issued by the
Central News of London, that a situa-
may break out again at any time and
that the British scheme of demobiliza-
ton will have to be radically changed
which may also apply to American
rehabilitation. An "unimpeachable
authority is quoted as saying that
Great Britain will have to keep an
army of occupation on the Rhine for
many months, which accords with the
opinion of others concerning all the
armies of occupation. 1t may be this
note Of alarm was caused by the dis
covery that the Germans were trying
armistice and by the more drastic
conditions imposed by Marshal Foch
in granting an extension of the armi-
stice. II was reported the marshal even
threatened to march directly on Berlin
if the Huns didn't fulfill their pledges.
1t was stated unofficially that the new
terms included the following:
First-RetributiOn upon the Ger
mans for the murder and ill-treatment
of allied prisoners.
Second-The machinery and goods
stolen by Germany from France and
Belgium to be at once given up.
Third-German gold, amounting to
more than $500, 900 900, to be moved
from Berlin to a safe place, probably
Frankfort, and protected from bolshe-
vism in Germany en- route. Certain
other property to be surrendered.
Fourth-Germany to give over her
shipping, of which she is believed to
have 100000 tons, to carry food sup
plies to countries in Europe in need of
them.
Fifth-ADy U-boats ON the stocks to
be handed to the allies for their dis
pOsal, or to be destroyed, and no more
submarines should be built.
