NEW INTERNATIONAL
 ARMY BEING FORMED
By AssocIatrd uras.

Riga, April aA new ''internationai army which is expected to be the basis of a huge force to be available ultimate ly to enforce the dictates of the third nternationale, is rapidly being organized in Russia, replacing the old red army. according to reports received here II already numbers more than 10000 care fully selected communists who partici- pated in the first actions at Kronstadt
 This force is said to be the only one on which the boishevik leaders can actually count fo, an effective action. as the decentralization of the old army is spreading rapidly. 1t is even declared that d regiment of German spartacisss, who recently reached Russia. joined the new army to receive training for future employment in Germany.
 There is no sign of an immediate of fensive campaign. the soviet depending for the present on it's propaganda til- rected toward fomenting strikes and un- rest Since demoralization of the old army precludes military ventures, 1t is pointed out. the soviet is extending it's propaganda ana establishing new bu- reaus abroad.
 A Lettish investigator who has just returned from Russia, reports that the boishevilSi are stronger politically in the interior since the Kronstadt affair, but economically their. position constantly is becoming worse. and he looks for a fooA crisis in June.

May 1. when the treaty of Versailles en- ters into full vigor.
 The conference will be by far the most important held up to this time, and it's decisions may we'll determine whether Europe Is to have peace or renewed war. It may also develop the extent to which the United States will act with the al- lies in the future in the matter of man dates and the general execution of the treaty.
 FRENCH HAVE SOLUTION
 The allies must decide what they shah do in the almost certain event that Ger many will refuse to meet her treaty ob- ligations on the first of May, The French solution is simple. It would. consist of stern military measures, the occupation of the Ruhr valley and Germany's other rich coal and steel resources. The nec- essary troops for this move are in readi- ness. All that is needed Is English and American approval England Is hardly in a position to object considering her own precarious internal situation.
 But what about America?
 Premier Briand has made 1t plain that he is counting upon close cooperation with the United States. his policy in this respect having been forecast in these dis patches some weeks ago. But the Wash ington news lately has not been alto gether satisfactory. Secretary Hughes insistence on Germany's moral responsi- bility in the matter of reparations was warmly applaudeds here. but it is real ized that the American note does not mean necessarily that Washington would approve of "a gigantic military demon stration with the grave risk of starting another European conflagration and in- volving the possibility of necessitating the dispatch of American troops abroad.
 Lack of publicity given to the Hughes |of Nap has prevented anything but the

heavily padded reports regarding local communistic plots of all kinds, and Hungarian rhapsodies about ex-ktng Charles in the automobile ride about the throne, news comes forth that the United States is willing to take up the repanations question on the one hand and will insist that the allies respect her rights in Tap and all the other German possessions that are to be dis posed of under the treaty of Versailles.
 LISTEN WHEN U. s. SPEAKS Immediately nine-tenths of every thing that filled the newspapers until then Is forgotten and for the first time the stock exchange registers flair weather" Americans living in Ger many, who do not feel high prices much because of the increased value of the dollar, were proudly conscious that, however softly their country might speak, Europe would listen with ' bated breath. However, so far as Ger many is concerned, only the slightest suggestion of good will can be re- corded.
 German talk about "American Inter- vention" is as foolish as the tactless and clumsy assertion that American diplomatic representatives were the ones to take the initiative in the re- cent exchange of notes between the | American Secretary of State. Wash | ington statesmen surely will not charge to the account of Germany these bad manners left over from the Kaiser's time.
 l It would have been better If noth- ling of the transoceanic discussion had become public. As this cannot be helped now, and as Frances point or view doubtlessly has been effectively taken care of in the United States by her best speaker, Rene Viviani it must be shown, more impartialiy than 1 is the custom in official memoranda, the Germa nviews in this important affair.
 GERMANY'S MISTAKES
 Honest persons cannot deny three principal German mistakes. The first was that instead of working out in the 30 months since the war a feast : ble separations plan, the Germans waited to see what their opponents would demand. Secondly, unscrupul- ous agitators planted and fertilized daily that it was no necesisty, but a conqueror's persumptuousness that demanded tremendous sacrifices of a Germany, which, through the JOSS of large European tracts of lands, colo nies, navy, merchant marine and goods valued at many billions of marks, had paid heavily enough for her defeat. The third mistake was
