Paris, March 27.-The Italian dele

Cation who has been in Petrograd and

given rise to a report that There is

If this is not feasible, the plan as
reported, is to develop clearly the .ex-

lations of Central Russia with the En-
tente and the United States can be
dealt with in the light of full infor-

confirm the report:
A subcommittee has been appointed
by the financial commission of the
Peace conference to deal with urgent
problems which must be considered in
framing the preliminary peace treaty
with Germany according to an official
statement.
"This commission meets daily" the
statement says, ito discuss such Ques-

The technical experts of the Ameri.

with experts of other delegations, have
been considering possible method for
carrying out a project brought for

enemy powers in one peace treaty.
The fact that the United States was
never at war with Turkey and Bull

opinion of the American experts is to
the effect that this is not insurmount-
able and. that it is feasible for the
United States to sign such quadruple
treaty with an explanatory statement
that the United States accepts only
such portions Of the treaty as directly
affect it:

Winston Spencer Churchill Says
Odessa Is Being Defended by

Against Anarchists.

, London, March 27-Discussing the
Russian situation in Russia in the
House of Commons, Winston Spencer
Churchill, secretary Of war, said that
events during the last two or three
months in Ukraine had been extreme.
~ disastrous to the French.
He said they had entered from the
south and gone some distance from
the coast when they were confronted
hostility from the people. The secre-
tary pointed out that this latter feature
was something which must be care
fully weighed, as it showed the danger
that might result from rash or ill-con-
stdered action"
Roumania 10 Threatened.
Kherson and Nikolaiev have been
taken and Odessa is being defended by
French, Greek and Russian forces
against Bolshevik attacks, he said. The
position of the Bolsheviki near Odes-
ga, he pointed out, has exposed Rou-
mania to very direct threat of in
vasion which, with the Hungarians ad-
vancing on the other side, has made
the situation very difficult.
In speaking of General Denekine's
army the secretary said that it was
Great Britains policy to give it sup
port but not to involve any British
troops. He said that General Dene.
kline Is "fighing desperately for his
native land and for the worlds civil
ization." There is a British mission
with General Denekine and medical
= supplies, munitions, instructors and
technical advisers are being furnished.
He said that General Denekine had
suffered severe reverse while ad-
vancing toward Novo Tcherkask.
But by striking back near the Cas-
plan he had successfully taken 10000
prisoners.
British Control Caspian.
The British retain control of the
Caspian, but there is Bolshevik feet
at Astrakhan, where the harbor is at
present ice-bound.
Small attachments of British troops,
stretching toward the frontiers of In
dia are holding back without serious
fighting Bolshevik emissaries seeking
to advance and spread disturbance
there.

CONF'EREkI ccEEss ARE RESUMED
PRESIDENT WILSON AND PREM.
IERs WILL RUSH DETAILS. Z
Differences Of Opinion Are Being Con
>sidered Fully and Frankly In
Interest Of Peace.

Paris, March 27.-President Wilson

ceau and Orlando will resume at the
Paris White House" their series Of

tions which have been delaying tho
work of the Peace conference are

ion which have developed since the re-
turn of Mr.. Wilson to Paris are being
considered fully and frankly and a
determined effort is being made In the
interest of an early peace to reach an
agreement on broad lines.
In President Wilson'S study at the
Paris white House" was held tho
first gathering Of premiers under the
plan proposed by the President that
continuous meetings be held until
great questions which have been OBJ
structing the early conclusion Of the
Peace treaty should be solved. 1t
marked the initial step by this SUPER
council in taking direction of affairs
and in meetings apprehension due to
the revolution blazing up in Eastern
Europe.
1t is expected that many sharp d.
vergencies will have been recorci!ed
before the next meeting of the Coun-
Gil of Ten as the four conferees in
tend to continue their work until this
is accomplished. Mr.. Wilson and thel
premiers spent large part of tho
day on the questions of preparations
by Germany and an early disposal of
this problem was expected when the
meeting began.
The Russian situation, particularly
in relation to the political upheaval in
Hungary, was considered at yester-
days conference and it was under
stood that boundary questions would
also be taken up.

HUGHES PROPOSES CHANGES
FORMER SUPREME COURT JURIsT,
cRITICISES LEAGUE PLAN.
Declares Mistake Has Been Made in
Giving Impression Document Is
Finished Product.

New York, March 27-Seven amend
ments to the league of nations cove
nant intended primarily by their au-
thor to insure the American continent
against European aggression, to pro-
tect the United States from enforced
administration of foreign territory and
to revoke the trouble breeding"
guaranty of the existing political indie
pendence of member nations, were
proposed by Charles E. Hughes.
Minor suggestions Of the former Re-
publican presidential candidate were
that definite limitation be placed upon
the leagues field of inquiry, reserving
to the several nations exclusive con-
troll Of immigration, tariffs and other
internal problems, that provision be
made for the withdrawal of states
from the organization and that what
he termed an ambiguity as to the re-
Quirement of unanimous decisions by
the league be cleared up.
In an address before the Union
League club, reviewing exhaustively
the terms of the proposed covenant,
Mr.. Hughes declared that tho "Ameri-
can people were entitled to q better
piece Of work." r
He said mistake had been made in
giving the impression that the docu-
ment was finished product with
good reason for its choice of express
sions, when later it was found neces-
sary to excuse it as q hasty draft
which required revision. =.

A WONDERFULLY OPPORTUNITY
We have won the war.


We have won the war.
We have yet to win peace.
We never get anything worth while
unless we earn it and pay for it.
We now have the chance of earning
peace by paying for it.
Think of it-a chance of earning a
peace that is going to last, one that
will benefit us, our children and our
children s children.
And how9 BY sacrificing little and
loaning the results of our sacrifices on
the best security in the world, at a
fine rate of interest.
Look the facts squarely in the eyes.
A year ago, it didn It seem possible that
we would have chance to buy our last
Liberty Bonds on April 81, 1919. 1t
looked as though we would be then only
well started in pouring out our blood
and treasure.
Now, the war is over, and we don It
have to pay for it.
All we have to do now is: to pay for
peace-pay for it by depriving our
selves of few Injuries and investing
our savings in an enterprise that will
lay broad and deep the foundations Of
a lasting prosperity.

Germany seemed so far from beaten and
when every day meant death, danger
and destruction, it is easy to recall the
extravagant phrases which then des-
cribed the passion for peace.
There were many Northwestern faith
ers who would have paid fortunes to
have ended the war one day sooner
if that day their sons were to be sent
to the firing front. There were many
Ninth District mothers who would have
thought no financial sacrifice would be
too great if the war could have ended
in 1918-as it did end. Peace then
seemed to be so wonderful thing-and
SO priceless. 49,.
Now we can have that priceless thing
by loaning our money to pay for it.
The dollars we lend win 60 for the
boys who are in France and in camps
will 60 for their wages and their com
fort.
They are needed to pay for the guns
the aerop}anes, the ships which were
obtained over night and which spelled
doom for the boche.
Are you fit to live in peacei If you
are, you will gladly, thankfully pay
your share by subscribing to the limit

Minnesota has great judiciary. The
supreme court ranks high among similar
bodies in this country. The district
bench includes men eminent in the law,
sound in judgment, upright in charac-
ter. The Seventh Judicial district is
particularly fortunate in its three
Judges. All this is granted. At the
same time, we see no valid reason for
raising salaries of judges and not con-
sidering other officers. Judges work
hard, undoubtedly, but they are about
the only class Of public officers who
have fixed vacations. If they are to
be raised ughout the state, very
well, but there is no particular reason
for making such salaries exclusive to
the judiciary. As a matter of fact,
with labor conditions as they are, it is
doubtful whether any of the higher
paid officials should be raised, even
though such raise may be just.
