8 MUCH MYSTERY OVER LEADER OF THE BOLSHEVIKS Americans Unable to Find Al leged Hero Named Spirodonoff Motlvcjia Gora, Russian Lapland, Aug. 29. —Legends are springing up among the peasants in the territory about the Murmansk railway front, where American railway troops as sisted the Russo-AUied forces against the Bolsheviki, about the personality of a Bolshevik chieftain know'n as Spirodonoff. Like the notorious "Maxo," a daring Bolshevik whose fame has become widespread in the Ukraine, Spirodonoff has never been seen by any of the allied forces, though captured documents and overhead telephone conversations between Bolshevik commanders. convince the allies that Spirodonoff exists. One of the stories about him is that, as Bolshevik commander of operations on the Murmansk front, he has been twice wounded, but now insists on being carried to the front in a chair, from which he directs front line operations. Prom peasants it is learned that he com bines great personal daring with absolute ruthlessness in dealing with those who oppose him.

We ought to de clare a general policy to regurd with concern any threut of disturbance of general world peace, but at the same time we should reserve complete liberty of action either independently or in conjunction with other powers in taking such steps as we determine wise for preserving the peace. Carry Out Spirit of 191U "We ought then to carry out the spirit of the act of 1916, which au thorized the President to convene the nations of the world together to es tablish a code of international law, reduce armaments, to establish an international tribunal and go as far as possible in the direction of secur ing peace through justice, through a league to which all the world are parties in its formation. OlTci-s Dignified Exit "This would be a fitting, generous and dignified exit from a situation in which primarily we have no di rect concern. "It is indeed a hard and cruel peace that this Treaty stipulates and I have no objections to its being so, but see no reason why we, who do not partake in its spoils, should be come parties to its harshness and cruelty. Its Flaws "I sec no reason why we should be parties to lni|>osing nixin Germany a Treaty whoso terms, our negotiators say, she Will he not üble to meet; a Treaty that robs our arfcicilt friend, China, in a way disap proved by our negotiators; a Treaty that lays tile foundation for centuries of blood-letting into which we should not be drawn, a Treaty that contrary to our own judgment fails to fix tlie amount of indemnity to be paid, leaving that vast ques tion to the whim of a majority of a commission on reparations, a Treaty predicated upon the assertion that a stricken anil helpless world requires our counsel ami support, but leaves to the beneficiaries the decision as to the measure nnd charac ter of tlie benefactions they are to receive; a Treaty that with ominous words presages our in volvement in tlie eruptions of suppressed volcanic world con ditions; a Treaty that would re quire us to underwrite all the regional understandings between nations reeogni/.cd by the league, most of which are based upon oppression of weaker nations, many of which are as yet sex-ret and undisclosed, and when disclosed might drive us • to nets of injustice similar to ' tliut in wliicii tlie President felt himself eoiupclletl to uequlesce in tlio ease of Shantung." i A state of peace he said, actually ' would be established in the world I as soon as three of the great powers | had ratilied the Treaty and that the j United States should make her own I peace status complete by a concur j rent resolution of Congress. Tra-d in Vain for Data I Declaring the foreign relatidns committee had tried in vain to get important data relating to the treaty, he said the people at last | wore waking to the true issue as i the (acts about the Versailles nego tiations leaked out. "Little by little," he continued, "they are bringing a divulgence of the facts connected with the treaty and they may now hope finally to see the whole of the great gaunt j tragedy into which those whom they had charged with protecting them j were about to betray them. "What is it about these things i that the people cannot know? What ]is there to hide from them? Must I we take this thing, as the German i people must take it, unsight and I unseen? Are we to be no more ad i vantuged than our fnllen enemies?" | V. S. AcciKtiplislicti Ihirpose Quoting President Wilson's dec laration in 1917, that the purpose of the United States in the war was to overthrow German autocratic power and leave hc German people free to "choose their own ways of life." He said that with the signing of the armistice "we had accomplished the full purpose for which we entered the war," and should have "quit the war as we entered it. still free and independent, masters of our own destiny." lie paid a tribute to the service rendered the nation by citizens of German ancestry, who fought glad ly, in the hope that their kinsmen in Germany would benefit in the end. Instead, he said, peace conditions had been imposed which the Ger man people never could fulfill. Calling attention that Russia was not included in the peace settle ment, he continued: "Thing you Germany—smarting and staggering under the terms of this treaty—will supinely rest con tent with the dole of grace and suf ferance we are vouchsafing her, the crumbs from his victors' table? That people will not more cease to plot and plan to recover their for mer high estate, than did Satan plunged into the abysmal depths of hell. Whether they are In the lea gue, if formed, or out of it, Ger many's agents, secretly or openly, will be at work with her former Allies, and with injured Russia and with Japan. As Russia goes, so will go the whole Slavic and affilia ted peoples. And if Germany suc ceed in this, western Europe at least must perish. Striped of its idealistic phrases, he said, the treaty really was hut an alliance among five great powers, against whom Germany would try to hring a stronger alliance. The real interest of France he said, was in gaining the friendship and not the enmity of the German people. "The instrument before us," he said, "is not the treaty but the truce of Versailles. "It takes Germany's territory, Eu ropean and foreign, without com pensation; it takes from her prac tically all of her ocean shipping, a largf portion of her inland vessels; it deprives her of all special benefits of treaties and conventions; it takes her cables, it compels her to supply large quantities of raw materials; it internationalizes her great river systems and throws them open to traffic of all nations on a national basis, as if they were the high seas; it opens her coastwise shipping to all nations; it compels her to grant exceptional import and export privi leges and to accept important re strictions; it closes out German in terests in practically the whole civi lized world; it closes out the inter ests of that same world in Germany. V. S. Completely Hound I'p "Having done all this, it assesses against her provisionally, with a stipulation permitting an increase, a debt of one hundred and twenty billion gold marks, which is in ad dition to the property restored in kind and to the value of the boats, gold and securities delivered; it makes her responsible for these damages inflicted not only by her self, but by her allies, and even by the allied and associated powers themselves, with a list of items which includes some admittedly contrary to the rules of interna tional law hitherto existing; finally and in addition, she is compelled to answer to her own nationals for the value of the property taken by the Allied and associated powers.

Mon day, September 1. Every Indication point* to one of the - greatest cele brations in the history of labor or ganizations. There has been much activity in this city and vicinity. This is true, especially with the three city lodges of the Brother hood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Station and Express Employes, viz.: Penn- Harris Lodge No. 640, Keystone Lodge No. 1302 and Blue Ridge i Lodge. This is one of the youngest and strongest bodies of organized • labor in the city, having been insti tuted Jujy 1, 1918, and up to date they have enrolled a total member ship of approximately 1,000. Thib, however, includes a considerable number of employes from the out lying districts. Will Have Band Wh'le the prime object of this or ganization was for the bettering of financial and working conditions, it is also their purpose to unitedly, of fer a more appreciable service 10 the respective corporations employ ing them. A central committee of these three lodges held an important meeting on Wednesday and perfect ed arrangements for their participa tion in the parade to be held Mon day morning. They will be headed over the route of the parade by the celebrated "Burger's Military Rand" of Lancaster, formerly the "Fourth Regiment Band." It is urged that every member of these lodges turn out on Monday morning for this parade, reporting at their appointed plnce at Second and Pine streets not later than 9.15 o'clyock, where they will bo formed in marching order by com petent marshals. It is expected that every member will be in line. - Railroad Notes "No Accident Day" on the Tyrone division of the Pennsy was a big success. Not one accident was re ported. M. C. Byers, general manager of the Western Maryland Railway, says the car shortage is duo to the fact that coal cars are being used ia haul sand, stone and gravel. F. M. Smith yesterday told about 200 men, many shippers Included, how to save losses in freight. Ho spoke at the Pennsy and Reading freight stations. Bituminous coal is scarce with the Philadelphia and* Reading Rail way. Orders have been issued to save. "Scrape the tanks" is one ol der. The last of the sixteen-day ex cursions on the Pennsy from Chi cago, was run yesterday. Four trains passed through Harrisburg late last evening. W. D. Bowers, freight engineer on the Middle division, who is summer ing at Losch's Run, was in Harris burg yesterday. He is visiting friends in Western Pennsylvania for a few days. Four tracks on the Middle divis ion of the Pennsy were blocked yes terday as a result of a freight wreck at Petersburg. Two empty cars left the tracks and about four other cars piled up. The number of passengers carried one mile on the railroads under Federal control during the month of May was 3,656,571,089, a de crease of 0.9 per cent, as compared with May, 1918. The Victory number of the month ly magazine published by the Mu tual Beneficial Association of Penn sylvania Railroad Employes, Incor porated, has been just issued. It contains the names of about 26,000 employes of this system who were in the military or naval service of the United States. A supplement will be issued shortly, containing the names not available for this issue. The Victory number is illustrated with many photographs.
