CAUCASUS IN CRAVE
 BOLSHEV|K| DANGER
TRepubiican A. p. -.ased wirel

PARIS. Thursday, April 10. - A dreary picture of conditions in the Caucasus is drawn in reports made by the American food administration agents at Batum and Novorossiysk to the Paris headquarters. The Georgian government is described as irresponsi- ble and probably temporary, but never theless the Georgian army is pressing north and attacking the Kuban Cos sacks in efforts to extend the Geor- gian boundaries, and thus make the situation more difficult for the Don Cossacks and the Kuban Cossacks, who are operating against the bolsheviki on u e north with limited forces. A Brit itsh warship at Noyorossiysk is stab- ilizing the situation there.
 Both the Denikine government at Ekaterinodar and the Don Cossacks government at Restov are described as weak and the situation as so chaotic generally that there is danger that the bolsheviki, with the ending of winter and the improvement of the roads, wi cverrun the entire territory.
 Considering the general public senti nent in the district, the report states that there seems no interest in allied aims and purposes and that the ma jority generally express regret thac they did not espouse the German cause, since the allies are refusing to assist in restoring order.

POINDEXTER STILL

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

SPOKANE, April 13-The proposed constitution of the league of nations as amended still is a supreme sacrifice. ? as far as the United States is con- cerned, United States Senator Poin- dexter said here tonight in state ment objecting to the league covenant in it's revised form, as being opposed to the interests of this nation. If the provision of an unanimous vote in cludeS the votes of parties to an inter- national dispute, his statement said, requiring their agreement on any ac- tion, of course the league is meaning less and powerless, as the agreement makes action of the league unneces- sary. If the parties to the dispute are not allowed to vote, then their vital af- fairs are under the control of an alien tribunal in which they have no voice q total surrender of sovereignty as to such matters.
 "The provision that q member can only withdraw after two years notice and then only when the league has de- cided it's obligations nave been per formed, puts the member nations for ever under the control and discretion of the league.
 "The amendments provide that the army or navy of a. member nation, when the status of the same has been fixed by the league, cannot be in- creased without permission of the league. This is a fatal provision - wholly unconstitutional.
 "The consideration and vote by the commission on the question of immi- grafton shows the assumption by the league of Jurisdiction of this vital question of paramount importance to the nation, and particularly to the Pacific coast. The action of the cam- mission is secondary in importance, ir comparison with the significance of it's assumption of Jurisdiction in this mat ter involving the right to take such action in the future, as the varying personnel of the league government from time to time may deem proper

ROME, April 13.-It is stated semi officially, on behalf of the Vatican, that the Holy See has not given it's adherence to the pan Christian con- gress which it is proposed to hold shortly, as the Catholic church, consid- ering her dogmatic character, could not join in the congress on an equal footing.
 The feeling of the Vatican, says the semi official expression, is that all the other Christian denominations se- ceded from the Roman church, which descends directly from Christ, and that, therefore, Rome cannot go to them, it being for them to return to her bosom.
 The pope, the expression adds, is ready to receive reports of the dissi- dent church with open arms, as the Roman church has always longed for the unification of all Christian reli- gions. Pope Leo XIII, it is pointed out was deeply interested in the question and wrote two fmouS encyclicals on the subject of unification of the Chris tian churches.

 COPENHAGEN, April 13-Herr Neu- ring,war minister in the government of Saxony, was killed at Dresden yes terday by disgruntled soldiers, to whom the minister had refused a hearing. The war ministry was stormed by dem onstrators who dragged out Herr Ned- ing and threw him into the Elbe, where he was shot and killed as he tried to swim to the bank.
 Wounded patients in the Dresden hospitals, says the Dresden dispatch, collected in the morning in the theater square, to protest against an order is sued by Herr Neuring. to the effect that the wounded in future should re- ceive only peace time pay. Five or six hundred men formed a procession to the war ministry and sent a deputa- ton to see the minister who refused, however to receive them.
 Upon this, the crowd, melted by com- munistic speakers, stormed the en- trance to the building. The sentries were overpowered and government troops declared they would not attack the crowd and marched off after sur rendering their arms.
 At four o'clock in the afternoon, the demonstrators had forced their way into the main building, followed the war minister to the upper story. where he had fled, and dragged him out into the street.
 After the minister had been severely maltreated by the crowd, he was hurled from the bridge into the river. When he tried to swim to the bank, the dem onstrators fired at him and within a few moments he disappeared under the water.
 A state of siege has been proclaimed in Dresden.
 Five persons were killed in yester- days disorders, but eventually the demonstrators dispersed on the min ister of worship promising a deputa- ton that all the demands of the sol- diers should be granted-old rates of pay and adequate food rations.

MYSTERY CLOUDS CALLED MEETING .0F COUNCILLORS
Departure of Lloyd George Published Excuse = No Announcement Made - Statement Promised By Wilson Today-Believed to Refer to Date of Ger man Arrival

PARIS, April 13-(By the Associated Press)-Quite unexpectedly, a meeting of the council of four was held at 6 o'clock this evening, with President Wilson in attendance. The call for the meeting resulted from Premier Lloyd Georges determination to return to London tomorrow.
 The British premier will remain in his home country for a week and, be- cause of his absence from Paris, he and his colleagues decided to request a final meeting today for the purpose of closing certain phases of the discussion which the premier considered best for him to attend to personally, instead of leaving the task to Arthur J. Balfour, his substitute in the council.
 During the early hours of the day, the president remained at home, but later he went driving with Mrs. Wilson. The bright sunshine, after rain in the forenoon, had filled the streets with Parisians, to whom the sight of the presidents car has become familiar.
 Little trace of the president recent illness remains, but the large amount of work of the past week fatigued him so much that he declared he would do absolutely no work today.

 The session of the council, which be- gan at o'clock, ran well into the din ner hour and broke up after o'clock. The discussion covered the general situation, among other questions, the date when it would be possible to con- clude the draft treaty and summon the German delegates to Versailles.
 No statement was given out, but ii was announced this evening that Presi- dent Wilson will issue a statement to- morrow, presumably referring to the accomplishments of the council of four and of the general situation to date. The Italian and Jugo- Slav questions will come before the council tomorrow Arthur J. Balfour sitting in place oi Mir. Lloyd George.
