ATROCITIES OF
 BOLSHEvlK GUARD

Nladivostok, Feb 27-(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press)- The Russian peasants hate the Red Guard hundred times more than they ever hated the agents of the for mer Russian Emperor, according to a traveller from Moscow as quoted in the Omsk newspaper, SlOvo- Perhaps the traveller says, this may account for some of the fierceness and ruthless ness of the Bolshevik rule
 Under the Emperor's regime, he says, the murderer of a village consta- ble would have been shot and the ex- cautions would have stopped there; but the Bolshevik will shoot scores of peasants for the murder of a Red Guard.
 All the way from Moscow to Tam boy could be seen people called sack carriers and women who had left their towns or villages in the the hope of finding elsewhere bread or wheat. The Bolshevik had orders 10 shoot all sack-carriers, women, chiI- dren or old men whether they were in quest of bread for themselves ana their starving families or to sell at higher prices. And they were shot. The traveller claims to have seen some of these people running along the tops of railroad cars jumping from one to another, with the Red Guards shoot ing @t them from the platform. The meanings of those struck down were heard far into the night.
 The train passed Tambov, -Atakar, Balashev, all situated in a fertile corn country. But nowhere was there even bread for the Russ ans who had raised the rorn. It had been exported nobody could say where.
 A student member of the Com nlittee to Fight Counter Kultur Revo- hutton, who was on the same train, ad- mitted that he and his friends knew that the Social RevoIutionaries as well as the MensheViki were not counter revoIutionists, but the committee he said was obliged to view them as such if they wanted to continue to rule. If communism" he said, Twill not fit the Russian people, we shall have to abandon the power; but in that case we shall act in a fashion to be remembered for long time"
 The train passed military trains go- ing to the front. The soldiers appear = ed gloomy and sleepy, principally sleepy. The traveller saw some look ing for Q place to lie down but an of fcer, carrying 8 whip motioned them out. Their grumbHngs were siIenced by the whip or by the sight of a bay onet glistening in the hands of a sail or who accompanied the officer.

present terrible war, if we were to restore interna tional law as it must be restored, we must find some way in which the united forces of tEe na- lions must be put behind the cause of peace and law. ] said then that my hearers might think that II was picturing a Utopia, but it is in the search for UJopias that great discov- cries have been made. Not failure. but low aim is crime
 This league certainly has the highest of all aims for the benefit of humanity. and because the pathway is sown with difficulties is no reason that we should turn from it. It is the vision of a perhaps impossible perfection that has led humanity across the centuries. If our aspira- dons are for that which is great and beautiful and good and beneficent to humanity, even when we do not achieve our end, even if the results are little, we can at least remember ArnoId's lines:
 'CharEe, then. and be dumb
 Let the victors, when they come,
 When the forts of folly fall,
 Find your body at the wall
 Earlier in his speech Senator Lodge declared:
 The limit of voluntary arbitration has, I think, been reached. think the next step is that which this league proposes, and that is to put force behind international peace We may not solve it in that way. but if we cannot solve it in that way, 1t can be solved in no olher.''
 All of these things so. well spoken by Senator Lodge nearly three years ago are just as true today. His strik- ing sentence, the united forces of the nations must be put behind the cause of peace and law is the heart of the whole matter. It implies everything that the advocates Of q League of Nations urge. It implies the existence of a body of intsrna- uonal law and of aa authoritative tribunal to interpret and apply it.
 The difficulties that Senator Lodge saw in 1916 he did not fear. His words inspire men of vision to face and surmount them. They were fine. courageous words. We wish ne would speak them now, when the haIf-hearted, the timorous and the blind among his colleagues need them. He might well add to what he said three years ago, that the diff ficuIties, although still many, are not so great as then. Three of them have been eIiminated-two kaisers and czar. And with them has gone the concrete expression of 1nilitarism, em- bodied in the three autocracies. This was the biggest difficulty of all.
 Surely we can take hope and de- rive wisdom from the words of Lodge in 1916-and ind in them the best answer to the Lodge of today

LODGE FORMERLY ARDENT
 FOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Now That Wilson Makes the League Possible He De- nounces It In Comprehensive Terms-What
 Lodge Said in 1916.

Washington, D. C.-Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, who is now one Of the Iustiest of Republican critics and opponents of a League of Nations urged by President Wilson, was only 9 little more than two years ago an eloquent advocate of a similar if not identical plan. He now denOu0ces what he then espoused-but Of course, President Wilson has mean time given the plan life and vigor and a promise of adoption at the Peace Conference. That makes all the diff ference il the world-to partisan like MT. Lodge.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
Views Of Senator Lodge in f916-Tnc
 Best Answer to Lodge of 1919.


 The other day we ran across the proceedings of the first annual con vention of the League to Enforce Peace. It was held on May 26 and 2T. 1916. in the Capital City
 Running down the contents table our eye was caught by the name of Henry Cabot LCdge. Now, Senator Lodge not long since expressed at some length his opposition to the League Of Nations idea, that found it's first strong advocacy in America through the organization of the League to Enforce Peace and that has become one of the great world issues 10 be considered at the Versailles conference.
 Hence we turned curiously to the pages on which appeared the 1916 speech of Senator Lodge. We foun q these rather interesting and signifi- cant passages in the Senator's eIo- Quent utterauces:
 T know how quickly we shall he met with the statement that this Is a dangerous question which you are putting into your agreement; that no nation can submit to the Judgm ent of other nations. and we must be careful at the beginning not to at tempt too much. ! know the dif1- culties which arise when we speak of anything which seems to involve an alliance. But I do not believe that when Washtnaton warned us against entangling alliances he meant for one moment that we should not join with other civilized nations of the world if a method could be found to di- minish war and encourage peace.
 Tt was a year ago that in deliver ing the chanceuor's address at Union College, I made an argument on this theory-that if we were to promote international peace at the close of the

PEACE IN PARIS
CIRCLES AFTER
TENSE PERIOD
Nothing Has Come from Ger
many to Show Hun Frame
of Mind.

Paris, June 30-There was COM
plete relaxation in peace conference
circles and in Paris generally today
after the period of tenseness which
eliminated with the acceptance by
Germany of the peace terms and the
final signing of the treaty at Satur-
days memorable ceremony in the
Versailles palace.
Secretary of State Lansing this
morning had conference with the
American officials who remained here
after the departure Of President Will
son.
Since the signing of the treaty little
has come out of Germany to indicate
the frame of mind of the German peo-
pie generally, nor have the disorders
which seemed very serious during
the last three weeks assumed more
threatening aspect.
Within the next thirty days, the
allies will submit to the German gov
eminent a list of persons who are
charged with responsibility fer caus-
ing the war, or who are alleged to
have violated the rules of civilized
warfare.
In this connection, DIR. Theobald Won
Bethniann-Hollweg, who held the of
flee of imperial German chancellor in
1914, when the war broke out, has
formally asked the allies to place him
on thial instead of former Emperor
William.
