Dispatches from Paris report that
50 far a. they have expressed thee,

OF course, they find nothing says
the Philadelphia Inquirer. "For what
is a League of Nations intended t.

nation from attack. And what is the

has never been challenged. 1t has e

BOLSHEvI LETTER TO WILSON
Truculent Tone Adopted in Regard t.
Egypt. India and Philippines

Paris, Jan. 23.-The insulting
terms of the Bolshevik government s
letter sent to President Wilson at the
end of October were revealed ycster-
day by Vladimir Bourtzeff The letter
SWAY do you net demand the
emancipation of Egypt, India and the
Philippines? We ask you to have the
Allies state whether the French and
British would cease to demand the
Russian peoples blood if the latter
agreed to pay a ransom in the form
of railway and mining concessions or
territory. We particularly want to
see whether your league of nations is
to be an international corporation for
Russia's exploitation and whether as
your French Allies demand, Russia
has to pay the billion their bankers
lent to the Cars government"

DISMAL WEATHER

For every gloomy day a cheer,
Because its gloom has grace
To put our hope against our. fear,
Till on with sweeping pace
We mount the dark and take the road
That leads unto the light,
Steeled for the bearing of our load
By dreams beyond the night.
A heavy fog has hung over Alex
andria and vicinity during the past
few days, and shipping has been
brought almost to a standstill IN
consequence. At times during the
early morning it has been difficult to
Identify people across streets. SINH
lar conditions prevail as far south as
Cape Henry. The shipping in Hamp-
ton Roads is virtually tied, up while
Lynnhaven Bay is flied with steam
ers waiting for the fog to lift.
Steamers running between Wash
ington, Alexandria and Norfolk have
been hours late in reaching this port.
A heavy mist has prevailed, and
the mild temperature has caused tn"
streets and sidewalks to become wet.
producing conditions favorable for
the spread of grip, influenza or H.,
whichever it may be called.
Especial care should be taken by
persons whose .avocations take them
outdoors.
Overshoes should be used by all
compelled to move about The streets.
The winter. so far, has been one
of the mildest on record. Fine
weather prevailed throughout most
of the fall, and the severe conditions,
expected after the first of January
has deferred their visit. BIT barely
half of the winter, however, has pass
ed. and the months Of February and
March are yet before us. The severe
weather Of 1899 prevailed during the
middle of February as was the case
in previous years, and the blizzard
which struck this section Of the com
try in 1858 arrived in the middle of
March. /. 49,.

ADOPT WILSON'S PLAN

Paris, Jan, 23.-America won her
first big victory at the Peace Confer

The Wilsonian plan as regards
Russia, tile plan which calls for Inc
treatment of chat country rs friend

President Wilson himself had draft,
cd it, and he read it in person a.

afternoon sitting it became the sun
,iect OF debate, and when the dele
gates adjourned all were in accore
that the American plan was The most
feasible, the most practical and tHe
most humanitarian.
The plenipotentiares of The Unl.et
States, Great Britain, France, Italy
and Japan officially sanctioned th'
Wilson proposal.
The first step towards its execn
ton will be an invitation from tn

must sieed Europe, Armenia, Per-
STA and other nations but very
few persons really know how much
food has been going abroad in the
past year. According to figures said
to be reliable, we shipped overseas
during the calendar year 1918 more
than $4,000, 100000 worth of food
stuffs, or four times as much as the
annual average for the past ten
years.
Some of this money value is due, of
course, to the higher prices which
have prevailed because of the war
conditions, but, even with those
added costs, statistics show THAI q
larger volume has gone over than
has gone in any one year for the
past decade. Nor was al this food
for the Allies or our own troops.
We sent 100000 pounds of con-
densed milk to India, for one thing,
while millions of pounds went to
other nations. including Japan and
even the Straits Settlement in Aus
tralasia. Canada proved q good Gus,
toner during 1918, for that country
used 100000 pounds of ralsins and
even the humble prune, that brtt o.

border to the tune of l2,OO0,Ool

LAND OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN

From London comes a bit OF peace

restoring the region through which
flowed the Euphrates and Ilgrls
Rivers six thousand years ago ana
through which these ancient rivers
vet flow. though the region IS net
now the land of gardens and wheat
fields, of splendid cities ard of nigh
cultured civilization, of which, even
vet, there are relics and reminders.
The Baltimore Sun asks, "Dld they
know the science Of irrigating dry
lands four thousand years ago.
There are yet the visible signs of an
intricate canal system by which the
valleys of the Euphrates and the
Tigris were artifcally watered over
a region extending 400 OF 500 miles
inland from the junction of these
mighty rivers on their flow to the sea
"These canals, modern investigators
tell US, constituted an intricate sys-
tenn of artificial ways. They were
used both for irrigation ana for
transportation This region vas
