question will be reached, satisfactory
to all parties, including D'Annunzi0.
This is the expected result of CONVEX
sat1OnS there between British, French,
italian and Jugo-Slav representatives.
The JugO-Slavs are still nervous and
claim to have information that Italy
plans to take all of Dalmatia and Mon
tenegrO.
Maxim Litvinoff, representing the
soviet government of Russia, is in Co
penhagen comforting with British ennis
saries. Primarily the matter in hand
is the exchange of prisoners, but Lit
vinof admitted that if the British at
titude was favorable, peace negotia-
lions would be taken up. He headed
the bOlshevik delegation that met the
representatives of the Baltic states in
Dorpat, and the latter say his manner
was cold and threatening throughout,
and that unless he behaves otherwise
in Copenhagen it will be difficult to ne
gotiate with him. The Baltic states al
ready have lost faith in the bolshe-
visits professed desire for peace with
them. The soviet government of Rus
STA has announced new victories over
Denikine's forces and further advances
in the Omsk region.
On Thursday Premier Stambuliwsky
of Bulgaria signed the treaty of peace
between his country and the allies.
The pact was signed by all the allied
nations except Roumania and Jugo-
Slavia, which are awaiting the signing
of the treaty with Austria. Bulgaria
is to pay an indemnity of $445, 100000;
to surrender all works Of art and other
valuableS taken from allied countries;
to abolish compulsory military service,
and to reduce it's army to 10000 men.
1t is deprived of Thrace and Of Strum-
nitza, the latter going to Serbia.
Germany, at last reports, was still
holding out on signing the protocol
which the allied nations drew up, and
the supreme council has expressed it's
surprise and displeasure at this course.
The council told the Germans that if
the treaty of Versailles were not put
into effect on December 1 the respOn-
sibility would rest entirely with their
government. In another note to thu
German delegation at Versailles NJ.
Clemenceau, as president of the coun-
Gil, sternly refused to deviate from
the terms of the treaty in favor of
German prisoners employed in recon
structiOn work in the devastated part
of France, and he used some very plain
language concerning German brutality
and inSincerity.
Another Irish crisis is at hand, for
the British government, according to
dispatches from Dublin, has issued
proclamation prohibiting and suppress
ing the Sim Fem and other like Or
CARNATIONS in all countries and Dor
oughs in Ireland. 1t is believed the
British now have 10000 troops in Ire
land, and on the other hand the sup
porters of the Irish republic" claim
they have an army of at least 100000,
ready to fight for the cause.
The new Labor party held it's first
national convention in Chicago last
week, and it was scarcely what could
be called q success. The official list of
delegates showed that 728 presented
credentials, but a good many Of them
faded away before the convention
came to a close. Moreover, not one
Of the 124 international labor unions
was represented, and Of the $4,000 10
cal unions in the American Federation
of Labor and 5000 Independent unions
only 642 sent delegates. One delegate
from Boston said about 80 per cent Of
those in attendance were Socialists
and ex-Socialists. Among those who
deserted the convention were the men,
bers of the Nonpartisan league, headed
by Governor Frazier Of North Dakota.
The platform adopted is almost iden-
teal with those of other radicsI
groups.
When the congressional committee
went to Ellis island to investigate the
cases of the radicals held here for de-
portation it ran into a bunch of tar
tars. The reds refused to be Ques-
toned, and moreover were on q hun
ger strike because they were separated
from callers by bars. OF course the
obvious course is to let them sta e,
and the applause would be general
1t was also disclosed that Frederic C.
Howe, former commissioner of immi-
grafton at the island, had maintained
strangely sympathetic attitude Of
mind toward the reds who had been
caught in the federal net. There may
