upon Germany under the terms of tlip
pence trenty 1 4 expressed by Republi
can nntl Democratic senators who com
mented on the summary of the pact.
Senator Hitchcock, vim will lead the
fight in the Sennte for ratification of
the trenty, nnd other Democratic sen
ators declared the treaty, rinhndviiig
the covenant for the lenpue of nation"!,
is a "monumental work."
Senntor Lodce. who will lead the
ficht ncalnst the league of nations pio
visions in the treatv, declined to com
ment, saying he will not have anything
to say until nfte" he haM oarefullv read
the comnlete text nnd TYesMent 'Wilson
has made public his explanation of the
treaty nnd the league.
The fight of the league's opponents
will be directed against the entire trenty
and a strong effort will be made on the
floor of the Senate to defeat the pact
unless the league of nations i-otcnnut
is separated.. from the peace terms. Sev
eral of the Republican senators who dis
cussed the treatv served notice the en
tire treatv will be endangered unless the
constitution of the league of nations as
it is written into the treaty is mateiially
amended.
Senator Hitchcock expressed the
opinion the two could not be separated.
"The league of nations is an integrnl
part of the treaty and the two proposi
tions nre so interwoven thnt they could
not be separated." he aid.
Alliance Finds Approval
Senators Moses, of New llanitishire,
nnd Sherman, of Illinois, both Repub

hv most of tlie Republican senatois.
The opponents of the lejigue of na- i
lions privately exfiressed the opinion
thit if such an alliance is ratified there
would be no necessity for any league of
nations. Tlie proposed alliance has tile
support of the western senators, as it t,
would exclude Japan from h oiie in
the direction of I.uiopean affairs, and
that empire would thus be weakened as
a world power.
Senators Rornli and Cm lis. of Kan
sas, both Republicans, opposed tlie al
liance. "I am not in favor of nil) Meat) or
alliance with France or with any other
foreign power obligating ouiselves in
any way concerning fuUiro wars
in Kuiope." snid Senator Itoinli.
"Whether we shall take part in ntiv

concerning tlie matter of vvnr with nn.v

of its willingness to do ever) thing nec
essary to protect civili.ntion against
militarism. The eiy fact 'the Presi
dent asked for this is evidence bis
league of nations is not what he de
clares it to be."
Other Senatois' Comment
The comment of other senators upon
the treaty follows :
Senator Hitchcock:
"The peace treat) as summarized iu
the scini-otHcial levicw on it must im
press every one as a mouu mental work.
It provides for the disarmament of Ger
many, the payment of enormous indem
nities to France and Belgium, Great
vt Britain, Jtaly and Seilna. It provides
for the establishment of the league of
nations to presrve the future peace of
the world and establish international
justice. It establishes a number of new
nations, like Poland, Czecho-Shrtnklu
and Jugo-Slaviin It internationalizes a
number of the rivers of Km ope as well
as Danzig and other important centers.
It provides for the return of Alsace
Lorraine to France in perpetuity, be
sides turning over the Saar valley, with
its enormous coal deposits, to France for
fifteen years. It provides for a number
of plebcscites or people's elections,
hereafter, to decide the nationality or
political allegiance of territories claimed
by different nations. It recognizes an
increased jurisdiction for the league of
nations to administer the affairs of cities
and territories having a doubtful status.
"It also provides, of cour.be, for the
renunciation by Germany of all her
colonial possessions of the past,
"As yet the full treaty is not avail
able for examination, but judging from
the summary I am greatly impressed
with the completenesses of tbo work
donejit Paris and its constructive char
acter. In ho far as it applies to Ger
many it is stern nnd unrelenting in its
evident purpose to disarm her for the
purpose of securing the safety of Eu
rope. '
Insures Reparation
"It also exacts from Germany the
last dollar that she cau possibly pay in
indemnities, the total not being fixed
until a commission shall have passed
upon the detulls. It awards to France
territories which In justice belong to
her and it gives to both France and
Belgium remuneration for the enormous
, fosse's of their people.
,"In purpose and character this great
document is vastly different from the
treaty concluded at Vienna in 1885 by
which Europe was reorganized, because
in the present case the basis o.f reor
ganization is justice and the purpose
of reorganization is to secure the peace
of the world for the future. It meets
the pledges of Llpyd George to the
BJ. British people and gives to Great

Drawing a Steel Ring
Around Bolshevik Russia
Revolutionary France, assailed on every side in 1792, sprang to arms and threw the
invaders across the bordcrTn a few weeks and then gathered her strength for the great cam
paigns thatplanted the tricolor on If a If the palaces of Europe. Bolshevik Russia is now in
a similar situation, but any dreams of a Soviet invasion of Germany, Poland, Hungary, and
Rouinania with 3,000,000 soldiers, seem nonsensical to American editors. While the
Bolshevik forces under Lcninc and Trotzky hold the inside position and can strike in any
direction, at least five of the peoples of Europe are activelyigaged in military preparations
for defense. Of 850,000 Allied troops in Northeastern Europe "the English and French
alone number nearly 300,000," says the New York Eveniny Post, and "with the Czecho
slovaks and Poles in the North, a cordon of easily more than a million men can be
stretched from the Baltic to the Black Sea."

The study of the new social disease, Bolshevism, whose

Europe, reveals tlie outstanding fact that it is most
prevalent where ignorance is most strongly entrenched.
This ignorance and its attendants, poverty and want,
create ideal conditions for the fostering of this dread
disease. The surest way to combat these is by education,
bv enlarging the vieu point, by substituting facts for fan
cies, reality for revolution. No perversion of the truth
