UPRISING OF PEASANTS
MENACES BOLSHEVISTS

Uprisings by small groups OF peas
ants against the soviet rule are In
progress in about half the provinces
OF bolsheyist Russia, according to ad-
vices received at the State Department
today.
General prevalence OF hunger. re-
sentiment against the bolshevist requi-
sitions of fuel and food. and popular
distrust of the soviet regime are given
as reasons for the uprisings.
Consistent successes for the Geor-
gian troops in their offensive against
the bolshevist forces which began
February 81, are also officially re-
ported. BY a series of rapid thrusts
the Georgians have succeeded In driv-
ing the bolshevist troops beyond the
Georgian frontier. the reports state.
and the territory has been practically
freed except for two small districts
on the River kram. Tifis has re-
sumed it's normal aspect. and the
French mission has returned to the
city.
RAILWAY LINE FREED.
The success of the Georgian arms
is attributed in part to the strategy
of General Kvinitadze, who succeeded
General Odesheledze. as commander
in-chief after the reverses suffered by
the latter in recent engagements. BY
a series OF artillery and cavalry move
ments General Kvinitadze has cleared
all the regions around Tifiis, has freed
the railroad line to Batum. and driven

The uprisings in soviet Russia
proper are reported spreading In the
Ural, the Ukraine and in the central
provinces of Russia. In the Cron-
stadt region there have been dis
orders and a substantial force Of
sailors has been engaged there in
combating the disorders.
Strikes in the vicinity. of Petrograd.
particularly in the arsenal works and
other large plants, have caused con-
siderable uneasiness there, with ru-
mors Of an impending general strike
in the old Russian capital More free
dom for labor, cessation of the food
acquisitions on the railways and high
ways, and less rigid trade restrictions
are among the demands made by the
workmen at Petrograd.

to the United States will be asked
to send it's bonds, principal pay
able at a definite time, with regu-
lar payment of interest. Instead
Of adding to the total indebtedness
the interest now in arrears, it is
probable that the interest rate will
be increased sufficiently to absorb
the unpaid interest during the life
of the bond.
These bonds the United States
Government will issue with its
guarantee, probably using them to
take up Liberty bonds as they
mature. Guaranteed by the United
States Government, the bonds
would be practically United States
Government bonds. The high rate
of interest, with Government guar
antee, would put them far above
par, our able financiers and Fed
eral reserve consenting.
That seems a good arrangement,
and that is THE arrangement as
it stands now.
You may ask: "What If the M
tions refuse to give the bonds, or
having given them, fail to pay in
terest, or principal, when they
mature?"
That can be discussed when the
time comes. II 1t happens, inter-
national credit breaks down, and
SO far as the United States is con-
cerned, the borrowing power Of
foreign nations is ended. In addi-
ton, borrowing an idea from our
friends, the Allies, who will tax
German exports, we could prob
ably collect on the exports, TO this
country, of defaulting nations in
addition to any regular tariff
charge.
David Lawrence, not given to
dreaming, says that Senator Hard
ing, using German securities
seized in this country as a basis,
will give Germany a credit OF a
thousand million dollars in the
United States to buy American
goods. The suggestion may annoy
some "dollar-a-year" patriots who
smelled no powder more dangerous
than face powder, but to ordinary
men 1t seems like good idea.
England had quite fight with Ger
many, and knew II. But the Eng
lish, ever since the week OF the
armistice, have been trading with
Germany. giving Germany credit,
buying German factories. What is
good for English trade would be
good for American trade.

POSSESS INTUITION.
1T is said that women are gov
erned by intuition rather than
logic Certainly women possess the
useful and happy faculty of intut-
ton. Nature has been so generous
TO women that they are fortified in
reaching a conclusion by two facuI-
ties; the faculty of reasoning and
the faculty OF reaching deductions
irtuitively. Although there still ex-
lists conflicting opinions among
leading psychologists as to the
mental makeup Of women. 1t Is
safe to say fhat woman Is not less
capable or lass logical than man.
1T also Is said that women are
governed by emotions. But emotion
IL not monopolized by one sex or
the other. 1t differs with individuals.
Some women are extremely emo
tional. while others are not; and
the same may be truly said of men.
Tral by jury. is justly priced as the
cornerstone of our free institutions.
1t shields individual rights from the
encroachment Of governmental power.
II imbues the ordinary citizen with
the principles OF maeistracy. and 1T
makes the people of a State the
of that State, for the law can only be
enforced according to their concep-
ton Of its justice. goodness and
moral strength.
"In our earnest effort to extend the
spirit of democracy in every walk OF
life, IL would seem that We have
reached the time when this duty or
right of women to serve on juries
might be extended or conferred"

j. S. DESERTED
IN CABLE ROW.
Geddes Has Evolved Plan to Put
America In Bad With Allies,
Official Charges.

Sir Auckland Geddos, the British
ambassador, has found an entirely
new and exceedingly ingenious way
OF setting the United States at odds
with Great Britain, France. Italy and
japan over the distribution OF the
German cables, Il was indicated by
a high official here today.
WANTS q. .. JAPAN FARLEY.
He proposes that the United States
and Japan shall settle the controversy
over the Island of Yap and the Pacihc
cable between themselves without
bringing any one OF the other ma
tions concerned or the League OF Ma
tions Council Into the situation at all.
He also suggests that France and the
United States decide what shall be
done with the cable operating be-
tween New York and Brest.
He would have Great Britain ana
the United States determine the own
ership of the other North Atlantic
cable.
The apparent disingeniousness OF
this proposed lies in the fact that IL
would array the interests OF the
United States in opposition to the In
terests OF every one OF the other coun-
aries involved and would tend to solid
States.
REALLY ONE ISSUE.
The present American delegation
has indicated that 1t will not consider
any such proposal 1t maintains that
the cables really present only one is
sue and il can see no reason why they
should be split into three issues, All
Of which would cause no end OF trou-
BILE.
1t also points out that the Colby
note demands that the cables be dis
tributed by joint action.
AS three Of the American delegates
will 20 out of office with the Wilson
Administration. it is altogether likely
that the British ambassador will ad-
vance the same suggestion to the
American delegation as constituted
under Mr.. Harding.
1t was specifically stated today that
the British ambassador has not Of
fered to mediate between the United
States and Japan over the Island OF
Yap, as reported.

in Poland and in Hungary.

Despite death sentences, which are
executed for the the slightest lack or

the army Is reported to be steadily
increasing. The Russian industries
are at the stage of utter demoraliza-
ton. and various branches OF the red
government, hitherto functioning, are
now declared to be showing signs of
REORGANIZATION due to the terrible
pressure OF health, food and hygienic

What adds to the significance Of
these reports Is the fact that. to a
large extent, they are coming from
sources in no way hostile to the Boil

instances from aroused friends who
have hitherto sent reports expressing
belief that the red regime would be
able to consolidate, maintain, and

The same observers, some of whom
are officials and others German inde-

no immediate overthrow, but a

the indescribable internal conditions
which the Bolsheviks are unable to
master, partly to the factional feuds
within the Soviet, government itself,
and also to the growing hostility OF
