BRITISH COMMENT
VEER|NG TOWARD
MR.. LODGE S VIEW
Northcliffe Papers Hold That
President Wilson'S Stubborn
ness Delays Ratification.
By TRUMAN H. TAILEY.

LONDON. Frida,


Reaction against President Wilson Cor
his uncompromising treaty stand now is
distinctly noticeable in English comment
on the American Senate deadlock. Par
ticularly is this noticeable among OBJ
servers who earlier spent their criticism
their eulogistic commendation for the
President for his stole defence Of the
Versailles pact
Newspapers like the Morning Post have
never disguised their admiration of Sena-
tor Lodge and lack of sympathy with
President Wilson. but throughout the ear
lier stages of the treaty fight in America
such liberal newspapers as Lord North
cliffe's entire press cast Senator Lodge in
the roles of obstructonist and wrecker,
and put the spotlight on the President as
an undaunted martyr.
Recent events have moved slowly, but
surely. to reverse Englands s view of the
Senate controversy, and If Lord North
cliffe's attitude expressed by his news
papers today may be taken as a fair
sample of conservative English opinion,
it is President Wilson's, rather than the
reservatonists', stubbornness that is un-
necessarily delaying ratification of the
treaty and blocking desired American CO.
This transition of the English view
seems to be founded on a slowly incul-
Gated, bat now firmly held belief that
after all, the reServationiStS come nearer
gauging true American sentiment than
does President Wilson, and that the pre-
vious charge that the President did not
represent American opnion-a charge
which observers here preferred to accept
as political propaganda-was literally
true.
AS a result Of. this changed viewpoint,
today the Times. which not long ago
urged American acceptance o: President
Wilson's idea of peace and the League of
Nations, admits that apparently major
ity fthe American people do want reser-
vations and suggests that President Will
son is the man who is hindering an agree
ment The Times, after stating why
Americn's moral and physical forces are
vital in maintaining world stability, says
that it is imperative that some agreement
on the treaty should be reached in the
Senate as quickly as possible. adding:-
"Americans-and by Americans We mean
the whole American people outside Few
narrow groups-seem hardly less desirous
than we to have peace ratified by the
United States with the least possible delay.
They want ratification with reservations,
and probably with reservations not much
weaker than those advocated by Senator
Lodge. President Wilson a few months
ago declared that there reservations were
inadmissablc, and now he maintains de-
termined silence.
But his party cannot longer shut its
eyes and ears to what is going on around
them. Democrats are as anxious as are
tho Republicans that ratification OF the
treaty should not go over as an election
issue. and Mr.. Bryans revolt is but one
sign that among many that President Will
son may press his party too hard"

Let's Repulsed BOlshevist Offensive
y and Take Six villages.

LONDON. Friday.-Adyices to the
Lettish Legation here from Riga under
yesterdays dare state that Bolshevist
offensive along the Reschitza- -Kreutzburg
railoway on Wednesday was repulsed.
The Let's counter attacked and captured
some prisoners. The let's took six villages
between Dvinsk>and Antopol and occupied
the station of Pytalovo.
Reshcitza the advices say. is surrounded
on three sides, and it is believed that if
the Poles create demonstration from the
South hurried retreat of the Bolshevist
forces on this front will be caused.

Republicans to
Stand Firm for
All Reservation.
CONTINUED from Psee One.)

the Republicans that the underlying mo-
tive of Senator Hitchcock in suggesting
compromise is to manocuvre the Republic
ans If he can into position where they
will be made to appear as chiefly to blame
for the failure to restore peace.
Challenge Ia Republicans.
In his speech Senator Hitchcock chal-
lenged the Republicans to produce evil
dence that more than twenty-five per cent
of the people wanted the Lodge reserva-
tions. He said that the largest vote in the
colleges was for unqualified ratification OF
the peace treaty, although no argument
was made in favor of unqualified ratifica-
ton.
This shows n sentiment for uncompro-
missing and unqualified ratification much
stronger than ! had supposed said Sem
ator Hitchcock, "a sentiment so strong as
to cause amazement."
After reading detailed figures Of the
poll. Senator Hitchcock concluded:-
"The figures show that for unqualified
ratification and for n compromise such
as the Democrats desire, 1858, or about
seventy-five per cent, have voted. On the
other hand only twenty per cent have
voted for the Lodge reservations.
II defy any Senator to bring into this
chamber any test vote that will show a
favorable result for the Lodge reserva-
tions. No Senator will find on any fair
test anywhere that the Lodge reservations
can poll more than twenty-five per cent
OF the votes"

Council Approves
Draft of Demand
for Former Kaiser
General Belief in France Is That
Holland Will Refuse
Extradition.

PARIS. Friday-The Supreme Council
today approved the text of letter to the
Dutch government asking for the extra
dition of the former German Emperor.
The general expectation in French circles
is that Holland will refuse to deliver the
former monarch.
1t is pointed out in Supreme Council
circles that in case the Dutch government
is disinclined to deliver Count Hohenzol-
lern 1t has q foundation for it's resistance
in the fact that the offences named in -Lne
peace treaty-namely, Grimes against in.
ternational morality and the sacredness of
treaties'-are not provided for in Dutch
laws nor, in the treaties between Holland

directions and that Asia Minor, already
in disturbed condition, offers to the
Lenine-Trotzky forces a most fertile field
OF operations.
Civilization In Peril.
The London press today is unanimously
agreed that the official warning was
timely; that 1t is imperative that England
and her Allies realize that civilization is
in far greater peril than ever before. and
that Bolshevism must not be allowed to
spread out beyond its birthplace in Russia.
Therefore. the press re-echoes the official
suggestion that England, as the chief
enemy of the Bolshevik, and the Allies
must adopt extensive ava adequate meas
urcs to combat the Reds on all frontiers.
Most naturally, England is worried over
the situation as it affects India and her
Near East interests, between which and
the Bosheviki there stands only a broken
barrier, General Denikine, with his army
divided by a wedge driven in by the Red
hordes and his forces rapidly shrinking.
At the same time Denikine lis hailed
here today as ''the lonely hero" to whom
there must be extended Immediately the
most adequate military and financial aid
If the Empire and the world are to resist
the Reds revolutionary shock.
Must Protect India.
It was officially stated that on no ac-
W
infected with Bolshevism, a statement
which. when weighed alongside other pro-
nouncements, was taken to mean that the
government here was ready to take i'm
mediate military action on a big scale. Also
it was officially stated that there was
sufficient evidence to support the charge
that the 'BolshevilSi, among their other
activities in the Near East, are trying
to stir UP holy war among the Moslems,
a movement which alone would threaten
Englands and the peace conferences au-
thority over that inflammable area.
1t was emphasized here that although
quick and effective counteraction must be
taken by the English to protect their own
interests, the campaign against the Boil
sheviki, even though on the defensive,
must be shared by all the allies
At the same time it was remarked that
Americas vigorous campaign against
radicals shows she would at least be SYM
pathetic toward any allied move to keep
the Bolsheviki inside Russia and perhaps
might-and certainly should-bear fair
part of whatever military campaign was
deemed necessary.
The consensus here is that the policy of
the English and the Allies of non-inter-
ference in Russian affairs is about ended
and that a positive and aggressive policy in
it's place is imperative. 1t is believed in
London today that there soon will be a
ring of allied steel around Russia, or at
least on the western and southern boun-
daries.
