In house commltteo of the wholo and
II. R. 124 providing for such repeal
was Indefinitely postponed by a top
heavy voto. Downing, introducer of
tho bill, declared that the present law
Is n dead letter. Ho complnnlcd that
it permits men who have been thrown
over by tho democrats and republl
cans to snoak Into oillco. Ho dial
longed any man to show an Instance
at any oloctlon whoro more than four
fifths as many voto had been voted
for the candidate on tho non-partisan
ballot an had voted on tho straight
ballot.
A dozen members rushed to the res
cue of tho existing Uw. Tracowoll
declared that tho law is intended to
place tho host men In office without
fear of party projudlco. It Is a good
law he said. In tliHt It gets away from
tho narrowness of party lines. Hod
man declared that tho attempt to re
pool wns neither good horse s nse
good legislative senso nor good polit
ical senso. Reynolds said ho would
not caro to go home to his conitltu
onts with tho confession that ho had
helped to support a bill rcpenllng tho
prcsont law. I'urcoll and Mlllor warn
ed against a backward step.
When tho Byrum-Hardln bill, chang-
Ing tho present primary law, was before-
tho committee, tho question was
raised as to what effect repeal of tho
non-pnrtlsnn election law would have,
since tho moasuro boforo committee
made no provision In case of such re
peal. Tho attitude of committeemen
was that tho non-partisan law would
stnnd. The action Jn commltteo of the
whole, however, removes tho possibil
ity of special request of tho govornor
to Introduce a bolnted bill dealing with
tho subject of election of non-partisan
offlcors.
Houho standing committees have
recommended for pnssugo bills ap
propriating ?100,000 for vocational

MAKE HUNS REALIZE DEFEAT
New Armistice Terms Bring Forth
Walls Fight on the Projected
League of Nations Opened In
Congress Without Awaiting
President Wilson's Prom
Ised Explication.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Kmlle Cottin, the nnnrchi-st win tried
to murder Premier Clemencenu in
Paris, could not have dono his cause
a greater disservice. If he recovers
from the wound In his shoulder, as
seems probable at this writing, the
'Tiger" will be stronger than ever In
France and the people of his country'
will give support more united than
ever to his plnns and demands for the
restoration arid the safeguarding of
France, even though ho may be "pre
paring for another war" as the nssas
sln asserts. Clemencenu, by his cour-
agc and robust patriotism has won
the esteem of all his fellow citizens
except the rabid annrchlsts., who al
ways hnve hntcd him. His influence in
the deliberations of the pence dele
gates has been powerful and his
statesmanship has been demonstrated
at every turn.
It Is becoming mora evident dally
that the entente allies have no Inten
tion of-yielding too far to maudl'n sen
timent where Germnny is concerned,
nnd that the Huns are to be pioperlv
restrained, with just enough economi
freedom to enable them to work hard
nnd pay for the tremendous damage
they have done the world. They may
wall and squirm, but they will not be
permitted to organize their forces for
the armed resistance agulnst the ternm
Imposed on them by their conquerors.
At least during tho present genorntloi
the allies Intend to keop a wnuh on
the Rhine that, In the words of Win
ston Churchill, British war sect clary,
will "make It physically Impossible for
Germany to begin a war of revenge,
at any rate In our lifetime." The ft
fectlveness of the league of nullons, he
said, depends upon the allies having t
trustworthy military force In cloe
proximity to Germnny, and ne ex
plained that the British government
therefore would retain about one-
fourth of the men. now In the f-ervlce
and nlso Is already raising n volunteer
army for garrisoning the empire. Dur
ing 11)10 the British army will number
000,000 men. Presumably the other
lied nations will do their part In thl
respect. America's selective servlee
act army must be demobilized win
four months nftor the formri proc'nlm
Ing of peace. The urmy bill as pas
by the house last week provides for
the regular peace-time army of 175,000
to be obtained by voluntary enlist
ments. As the enlistment perloi' Is re
duced to one year and the foui-.vonr
period In the reserve Is done away
with, It Is believed that whatever army
Is needed abroad can be recruited from
the ranks of tho soldiers now tbt r.
Since this bill Is regarded as totally
Inadequate by n great many senniors
It hns small chance of becoming iMw.
and It Is believed an extra session of
tho new congress will be called to pass
both army and nnvy appropriation
bills, which, It Is tnken for granted,
will permit America to do her part In
guarding the petico of tho world.
In tho new nrmlstlce terms Impose
on them the Huns are eettlnc 11 Oh-1
foretaste of what they may expect
when the military peace treaty is
made. Not mnny radical changes were
made, but these Include the cetsntlon
of all hostilities against tho Poles im,t
the removal of German troops from
me roscn ami Thorn districts: also

over. Nothing was Include' about de
mobilization becnuse It was ascer
tained that less than 1200,000 Germans
are now under arms. Erzbergcr signed
the new terms under protest, nnd when
he returned to Weimar he explained
to the nntlonnl assembly that he had
no recourse. He wns violently attacked
by a delegate of the People's party but
was sustained by the mnjorlty.
What seems to be worrying Frzbcr-
gcr most is the prospect thnt thn reace
treaty will give to France the Snur val
ley, where the best of the German coal
deposits nro located. The 1 rench
claim this basin should be theirs in
conjunction with the nearby Brk'j Iron
region, but Erzberger predicts thnt li
It Is given them Germany some day
will recover it by force. In this, i.nd in
his repented protest against he
"harshness" of the treatment the Ger
mans nre receiving or nro about to re
ceive, Erzberger is speaking for a large
part of the Germnn nation, which
seems Incapable of realizing thnt It has
been whipped nnd must puy fully for
Its crimes.
The arrogance of tho Hups has
reached a high point In loud objections
to the league of nations, n the Gei
man press. Some newspapers even
urge thnt Germnny should have noth
ing to do with the lenguo, but others,
while severely crtlclzlng some of the
proposed statutes, demand that Go
many bo permitted to join the league
simultaneously with the other powers.
It Is taken for granted by the allied
nations that Germany will be admit
ted to the league at some future date,
but only after she has given sufficient
gunranty of her sincerity. As Piofes
sor Lnrnnude. dean of the Pans law
faculty, says : "Surely when Germany
enters a league of nations, she will
agree to sign every undertaking we de
sire; hut we know What undertakings
mean to the Germans. Did they not-
slgu a treaty guaranteeing the neu
trality of Belgium?"
This attitude of distrust, which is
shared by all the allied nations, Is rec
ognized ns justltlablo by one Teuton,
at lenst, Kurt Eisner, premier of I
vnrla. The Germans, he says, did not
realize to what extent the allies con
sidered tho German revolution a pure
comedy, and he said thnt It will be
thus while the Germnn leaders remain
tho snme as those who conducted Ger
many's odious war policy.
The constitution of the league of na
tions, as drafted, has been received
with general approval In England and
Italy, while In France the prevalent
feeling Is that It Is a good beginning
for n project by which there Is hope of
establishing world peace. In Amerlcu
opinion Is widely divergent, nnd ad
verse criticism Is based on the fear
that the United States Is about to sur
render the Monroe Doctrine. Presi
dent Wilson, by wireless, asked that
there be no discussion of the league,
In congress or elsewhere, until he could
explain it fully In the public speeche
he was planning to make In various
cities. Some of the mure Impatient
In congress, however, declined to wait,
npd started the music last Wednes
day. In the senate the league wtis
tacked strongly by Pol.idcxter, Borah,
Reed, Vurdnman, Lodge and others,
and was defended by Shafroth and
Hitchcock. In the house Ft-ss oi Ohio
opened the tight on the league, declar
ing It "monstrous" nnd tilled with
vicious possibilities.
As can be seen, the league of nullons
is not n party question, but many
astute leaders of the Republlcar part
nre urging that criticism of the plan
bo suppressed until the attitude of th
count)' Is ascertained from the ieeo-
tlon given the president's cxphui-itloiis
Mr. Tnft, who has not censed to be one
of that party's chiefs, denounces the
opponents of the lenguo for another
reason because ho already ardently
believes In the etllcncy of the pioposed
society of nntlons. It Is easy to pre
dict that, after a dcul of ralnwr, the
senate will give Its approval to the
leugue plan, probably with formal res-
ervatlons thnt will protect the Monroo
Doctrine.
Of those peoples who still are fight
Ing In Europe and Asia there Is not
much to write this week. The Poles
arc being hard pressed by the Ukrain
ians In the Lembcrg region, cud In
East Prusslu tho Germnn troops were
said to be fighting them under the old
Imperial standard. The Juiikev, ac
cording to report, were striving to re
tnlrr their old military Jobs by organ
izing n strong movement egnlrst Po
land. General Denlklne nnd his nnUsovlet
nrmy. It was announced, had ronched
the Caspian, having scattered a great
body of anarchist troops and captured
31,000 prisoners and large quantities
of material. In Esthonln, however, the
soviet armies, which had rtsumcd
their activities with n general nttack,
were said to be making considerable
progress, especially In the region
Pskov. This continuation of hostili
ties by tho Lenlne-Trotzky forces ugaln
makes doubtful the holding of the pro
posed conference nt Prin..es' Island.
Moreover, three of the Russian govern
ments, those of Siberia, Archangel nnd
southern Russln, have formally de
clined to tnke part In the conference,
stating that there can be no concilia
tion between them nnd the bolshevik!.
who nre denounced ns traitors nnd fo
mentors of anarchy.
Information from Pctrogrnd shows
that opposition to the rule of the Le-
nlne anarchists Is Increasing among
tho more Intelligent workers. Sixty
thousand workmen In that city are on
strike, demanding the end of civil wnr
and tho establishment of free trade.
The United States and G'cnt Britain
have announced thnt their forces in
northern Russln are to bo withdrawn
when weather conditions permit, and
will be re-enforced to facilitate this
movement. Meanwhile those who 'have
been worried by alarmist stor.'es of
the distressing conditions undor which
our boys there nre existing mny be re
lieved by the cablegram from Col.
George F. Stewart, commanding the
Amerlcnns. He says the reports ure
not warranted by the facts; that the
health of the entire commnnd is excel
lent, the sick and wounded are well
cared for and the entire ullled expe
dition Is cnpnble of taking care of It
self against the whole bolshevik army.
The Spurtncnn annrchlsts of Ger
mnny were extremely busy throughout
the week, organizing here and there
and In Westphalia going so far as to
start a bombardment of the town ol
Rotterop. In the Ruhr Industrial re
gion nlong the Rhine the Spurtncnns
occupied several towns nnd dec'urcd a
general strike, fortifying the water
works and powerhouses and preparing
to resist tho government troops. Muhl
helm Is the center of the movement
and the anarchists have gathered therfl
In lnrge numbers.
Congressman-elect Victor L. Berger
of Wisconsin nnd his fellow defend
ants, Engdahl, Genner, Tucker and
Knise, convicted of vlolntlng the es
pionage act and conspiring to ob
struct the United States' war program,
were sentenced by Judge Lnndls to
twenty years' Imprisonment each nt
Leavenworth. Appealing to the fed
eral circuit court of appeals, they
were released on bonds, but only after
giving their solemn pledges that they
would neither by word nor act do airy
of the things for which they were con
victed pending final decision of their
cases.
The senate Judiciary committee took
a step toward curbing the activities of
the anarchists when It unanimously op
proved a bill to punish such activities
and to prohibit the display of red flags
or Other emblems of violence.
There were Interesting develop
ments In the "scnndals" nnd charges
thnt Inevitably follow a wnr. Governor
Allen of Knnsns, supporting n motion
of Representative Campbell for nn In
vcKtlgutlon of the story thnt the cas
ualties of the Thirty-fifth d'vlslon wero
