COMMENT ON AMERICANS
 POSITION ON THE L. OF NJ

London, Feb. 1.---It is evident from the tone of editorial comment on Wis count Greys recent estimate of Amer ica's position on the League of Ma tions that it set forth conditions little understood before. Niscout Grey's statement declared the hesitation of the United States in accepting the League of Nations is not due to hos- tilitiy to the principle but to consti- tutional questions and caution as to the possible effects of entering into the league.
 With the situation clearly explained by such an authority. newspapers here seem willing to give the United States the =iseneflt of the argument that siie is unwilling to make a radical depar- ture from her former policy without
 due consideration The letter is viewed as a powerful appeal to Amer ica to enter the league, and the Sum day. Observer pleads for the establish ment of the league quickly. even if it is only a consultatory body, without the United States.
 'Le us meet the United States so literally ad boldly as to leave her not an excuse for standing out" the newspaper says.
 Complaints over reservations pro posed by the United States senate SAOuIu De SlOpp0O5 tue HFWSpdPtE says and it invites the United States to send over a shipload of them" add ing: ''The more Americas reserva- tions arc indulged, the less she is in- clined to insist upon them" Nations, big and little. are showing
 their worst sides to each other, the paper goes on, and it asserts that the heart and soul" of Viscount Grey's plea is patience.
 After saying: There is a deplorable tendency to cast the major responsi- 1 bility for Europe's troubles on Anerica's swhoulders," the Times says the viscounts statement arrived at a most opportune moment and those who digest it will find misunderstood ing removed and comprehension es-
 tablished."

 The German carried letter from the head of a spartacist organization in Germany to M. Tchitcherin. Rus sian. bolshevik min .ster of foreign af- fairs. The letter indignantly denied the report that German spartaciSts were counter revolutionary to the Russian bolshevists. It declared that Karl Radek (the bolshevik propagan- dist who recently left Berlin) could testify to the writer's communist sympathies. It was said further by the writer that he was arranging with the Russian bolshevist Zinovieff with regard to spreading communist prop aganda in all parts of the world by special courier service from Berlin.
 Another letter seized, which was written by the same German, stated he had succeeded in inducing a staff of engravers to print American, French and German passports for the use of couriers and suggested that the soviets make similar arrange ments for couriers from Russia to Germany.
 The Swiss courier carried a letter from the secretary of an organization of extreme socialists in Berne to an editor of Red paper in Moscow, acknowledging the receipt of bolshe- vik literature from Moscow, of which. he said, he had made great use, and asking further supplies.
 Under interrogation the German courier declared the German inde- pendent socialists would attack and overcome the German government the moment they were assured of support from Lenine.

William Bethel
Gets Five Years

Much interest was manifested in the
trials of William and Edward Bethel
in the Iron county circuit court this
week. There are three counts against
the two of them for robbery. They
were to be tried separately, and the
first trial, which came up Tuesday,
was of VIM. Bethel, and a number of
witnesses from Pennington were in
attendance.
The State proved conclusively that
much, if not all of the stolen property,
had been found in the possession of
the defendants, which they claimed
to have purchased from Raymond
Gordon, a young man who resides in
Ironton. Their testimony appeared to
hang together very well OH the direct
examination, but on cross-e examination
both William and Edward Bethel be-
came somewhat tangled up, making
their testimony quite contradictory.
The jury's verdict in the first case
coincided with the general opinion of
those hearing the evidence, and re-
turned a verdict of guilty, assessing
punishment at five years in the peni-
tentiary. 1t is extremely difficult for
many who knew these boys during
their residence in this city, especially
Edward Bethel, to believe that he is
guilty of criminality, but it is now for
him to prove his innocence in his trial
which is now in progress.
