BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Most of the great problems confront
ing the peace conference were settled
last week by the big Four"-perhaps.
That is to say, at the close of the week
they were settled, but before this
reaches the reader they may be all I'M
settled again. Such has been the way
of the peacemakers in the past. How
ever, if there is not agreement on the
vital questions mighty soon, there Is
some reason to believe President VIII
son will withdraw from the delibera-
tions and come home. He startled the
conference and the world by ordering
his transport, the George Washington,
made ready for another trip to Europe,
and asking when it might be expected
there. Some of the Paris papers de-
clared Mr.. Wilson was thus trying to
force the French delegates to mitigate
their demands; pessimists saw in the
action the probability of hopeless dis
agreement; optimists said it meant the
treaty was nearly ready for submission
to the Germans.
The theory of the optimists was
borne out by dispatches late in the
week stating that the Big Four had
agreed; That William Hohenzollern
and others responsible for breach of
treaty and of rules of war must stand
trial. probably before a Belgian court,
but that the death penalty should not
be imposed on the former kaiser; that
France shall be given control of the
mines of the Saar valley, but shall not
be permitted to annex any Of that ter
ritory and that a commission shall reg
ulate strikes by miners there; that
Germany must make an initial pay
ment of $5,0O0O0O,00O reparatlon in
1921, after which a commission shall
assess a yearly indemnity.

AS had been anticipated, the allies
were forced to evacuate Odessa, being
attacked by an overwhelming number
of Ukrainan bolsheviki. This was re-
ally considerable triumph for Lenine
and Trotzky, for they gained control
of the most fertile regions of southern
Russia besides capturing large supplies
Of cash. The allied commander with
drew his troops, numbering about so
O00 to Constantinople and Roumania.
In North Russia the soviet troops APP
peared to he preparing for a renewal
of their offensive, despite their recent
vain and costly attempts against the
allied forces. British re-enforcements
and American engineers sailed from
England for Archangel.
Decidedly unpleasant was the admis-
sion by the war department that open
mutiny was threatened recently by the
American troops in North Russia UNI
less Washington speedily announced
its policy as to early Withdrawal of
the armed forces In that region. Some
of the men fatty refused to 90 to front
line positions. The American soldiers
cannot understand why they are call
ed on to make war against Russians
when war has not been declared, and 1t
is declared this feeling Is shared by
the troops Of other natlOnalities. Rep
resentatlves OF the anti-bolshevlk Rus
slams have repeatedly said In this coun-
try that they ask only munitions and
moral support from the allies, and
have urged That all the armed forces
of the latter be withdrawn from Russia
as speedily as possible,
The Esthonlans reported continued
successes against the bolshevild in
Guiding the capture of seven villages
and many prisoners.

dreds of citizens are in a quandary
not knowing whether to laugh or get
mad. They have on their hands
cases of bottles marked bonded Ca
madam Club whisky, and upon test
ing the contents of the bottles have
found nothing more exhilarating than
plain water. Water at IS a quart
is a luxury, but that is what the per-
sons who bought whisky from the
bootleggers have paid. 1t was found
after investigation that by means of
some instrument the bottom of the
bottle was removed. the whisky pour
ed out and water substituted. The
glass was then refixed and the con-
tents sold to the owners as bonded
Club whisky. There is but
Dne consolation. Cider is still selling

prominent citizens were officially

flee against the possibility of bomb
bearing Christmas packages. Act
ing on advices received recently from
the Philadelphia police that radical
plans had been discovered for repeti-
ton on a wholesale scale during the
holidays of the bomb mailing plot of
last May Day, the district attorney
advises caution in handling all par
cells received between now and New
Years Day.
The citizens were advised to car
ny all suspicious looking bundles re-
ceived by mail, express "or other
wise" to the fire departments bureau
of combustibles or the police depart
ment's bomb squad for examination.
The May Day outrages were cited as
examples of the extent to which
desperate-minded radicals will go in
order to inflict punishment upon the
of law and order,
whose duty 1t has been to suppress
the advocates of direct action"
