THE STORY THE WEEK HAS TOLD

other in case of unprovoked at
tack upon that other. The ma
ture of the assistance is not stat
ed. but presumably it would in
volve dispatch of troops.
RuSSia-The news from Russia
this week is very meager
Gen. WranEel has asked the
French to transport the remain
der of his army (35.000 men. now
on the Island of Lemnos) to
Fladivostok. The far eastern re-
public should certainly be con-
suited first. These men are des-
perate and hungry and have de-
veloped bad tricks. The Chita
government. which has troubles
enough already. might not want
them. France offered to trans
port them to Brazil; they would
not hear to that. The French
government will not feed them
any longer: they must go some
where or StarVe.
1t is averred that Moscow is
about to suspend naturalization
of Russian industries in order
that they may be rehabilitated by
foreign capital.
Peasant revolts are increasing,
or they have all been snuffed out;
reports differ.
1t is reported that the SHINES
group continues to acquire large
concessions in Russia
Turkey-The latest report indi-
Gates that the Greeks are falling
back under pressure on both the
northern tEskishehr) and south
ern (Afiumdxkarihissar fronts.
Persia-The new Persian gov
ernment favors abrogation of the
Anglo-Persian treaty and depar--
ture of British troops. Some OF
Chichern's fine work?
1ndia-A dispatch from Bombay.
dated April >. announces the ar
rival there of Lord Reading, the
new viceroy. Lord Reading has
been chosen to superintend the
early workings of the new gov
ernment of India act. which
creates a sort of a kind of partial
self government for India; def
nitely an experiment.
Panama-Secretary Hughes told
Panama she must accept the
White award. But Panama says
she will not accept the White
award. 1t is certainly embarrass-
ing, especially as Panama is get
ting in arms and ammunition and
enrolling volunteers.
Colombia-It is expected that
the Colombia treaty will come up
early at the special session OF
Congress. Some verbal amenities
may be expected, as extreme
views are held for and against.
The United States of America
The most striking event Oh tne
week in America was the arrival
of Herr Einstein in New York. and
the most amusing the temporary
blocking of the proposal to ex-
tend him the freedom OF New YORK
city, through the opposltlon OF
Alderman Falconer. Mr.. Falconer
thinks small beer of Herr Elm
stems scientific achievements: but
he must have observed now rays
of light are detected as they reach
the heads of politicians. and he
should respect the man who can
explain that singular phenomenon.
In spite Of Mr.. Falconer, Herr
Einstein is one of the supreme
luminaries of science. 1t is almost
as though Newton or Archimedes
were to visit US. Yet doubtless
Hindenburg or D'Annunzio would
attract more attention.
great deal Of comment Is ap-
nearing in the French press on
Secretary Hughes note about Yap.

The extraordinary session OF

Some $50 students. representing
tweuty-seven educational institu
