SOVIET HORRORS MUST STOP
 BEFORE ALLIES WILL CONFER

LONDON, Feb. 24.-After having had the matter under consideration for several days, representatives of the Allied powers have announced that the Allies will decline to deal with Soviet Russia until thoroughly convinced of the termination of Bol- sheviki bloodshed.

HOOVER ADVOCATES
 MILD RESERVATIONS

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 24.-ln an address delivered at Johns Hop kins university, Herber: Hoover de- clsred his opposition to the pro- posal that the peace treaty be made an issue of the forthcoming presi- dential campaign. The treaty srgu- ments, he pointed out, would ob- scure pressing Democratic issues.
 The country already has made up its mind on the treaty question, he said, and there can, in consequence, be no party credit in a treaty fight. The hope for immediate ratification, in the opinion of Hoover, rests in the acceptance by the lesser reserva- tionists of the proposals of the mild reservationists. Both sides, he said, appear to be agreed on the great majority of league ideas, and it is now a question only of getting to- gether on details of relatively small importance. Until the treaty is rati- fled by America, the speaker de- clared in conclusion, the peace of the world is held in abeyance.

 The strikers insist that their breakfast must consist of toast, ham, coffee, and potatoes. They want a boiled dinner. and for lunch they want fruit, beans, bread and butter. They draw the line at hash and macaroni.
 Before the trial started the men received two meals daily, and the jurors declare that they are now getting good solid food, prepared in & wholesome manner
 The hearing was not resumed this morning as planned, owing to the illness of three more jurors, who have developed influenza symptoms.
