BOLSHEVIKI WANT
TO MAKE PEACE
WITH THE ALLIES
British .Representative Nego
tiating With Soviet Repre
sentative, Relative to Re
, . patriating Prisoners.
London, Not. 27. By the As
sociated Press.) Maximi Litvinoff,
who' is at Copenhagen for a dis
cussion with James O'Grady, rep-
, resenting Great Britain, on the ques
tion of the repatriation of British
prisoners held in soviet Russia, al
" ready has attempted to carry the
Cr negotiations beyond the definitely
specified field.
; One of Litvinoffs f irit moves
"was to propose to Mr. O'Grady that
the allies lift their blockade of so
viet Russia. This fact, it is con-
. sidered here, bears out the view
previously expressed among mem
' bers of the diplomatic corps in
London that Litvinoff, on behalf of
the bolshevik regime in Russia, in
- tended to make other proposals than
' those relating to prisoners. -1
Want to Effect Peace,
There are . rumors that the bol-
sncviKi wilt try ro cucu a (jchic
with the entente . through Mr.
O'Grady.
Private advices concerning the
' conference in Copenhagen say that
the bolshevik attitude is most con
ciliatory. Among otlier things, Lit
vinoff is said to have offered to tele-
- graph Moscow, Petrograd and other
bolshevik cities to obtain full re
ports as to the condition of British
subjects in those places.
While Great Britain is deeply in
terested in the trend of affairs at
Copenhagen, it was reaffirmed that
Mr. O'Grady had been definitely rn-
i structed to enter Into no negotia
tions beyond those relating to pws-'l
. oners. v
Full of Boastf ulness.
Helsingfors, Nov. 27. Maxim
Litvinoff, former bolshevik ambas
sador to Great Britain and head of.
the soviet delegation which : con-i
ferred with representatives of the
Baltic stares at Dorpat, came to that
town with the air of a general
flushed with victory.
He boasted of bolshevik, military
successes, asserting that the bolshe
vik! had smashed1 General Yudenitch
and would now do the same thing
to General Denikine.
Toward the representatives of the
Balkan states, who were led to be
lieve that the bolsheviki were as
eager as they to make peace, ne as
. sumed at the outset such a cold and
threatening manner that they weTe
nonplused i,o tne PO'it of dismay.
Although Litvinoff later adopted a
more conciliatory attitude, the Bal-.
,tie delegates remain filled with mis
givings, which is heightened by re
ports of a powerful offensive the
bolsheviki are said to be prepar
ing against the Esthonians on the
Narva front..
Same as at Dorpat.
In the opinion of the Baltic rep
resentatives Litvinoff's bearing-at
Copenhagen will continue the same
'as at Dorpat and the belief that if
Great Britain and the other allies
are disposed to negotiate they will
find no easy . task. . It is reported
that Litvinoff will, refuse to listen
to proposals for a constitutional as
sembly in Russia or modification of
the form of the soviet government
This and other information which
the correspondent secured from au
thoritative sources could, not be
transmitted' from Dorpat, owing to
, the Esthonian censorship which, as
the conference proceeded, became
! increasingly severe.
, The arrival of Colonel Tallents,
head of the British political mission,
':J appeared to augment the reticence
s.tf the tonference and the unofficial
renresentatives of other border
. . , . . .
states' snowed increasing nervous
ness. With the arrival of Litvin-
off the Polish , representative
promptly left Dorpat " . ,
. In view of the conflicting state
ments given the correspondent, it is
difficult to. say just what was de
cided, but it' is generally believed
v that the Baltic representatives, or
at least the Esthonians, invited the
' bolsheviki to send a peace delega
tion December 1. ..
Sedulously Guarded,
"j Throughout Litvinoffs stay he
was sedulously guarded from corre
- spondents by the Esthonians and a
' British officer was sent to escort him
to Copenhagen when he left Dorpat.
: The correspondent is informed
v that when Litvinoff entered the con
.t ference he professed surprise at find
ing representatives of all three Baltic
States, saying that, he expected to
meet only, the Esthonians. He
"showed impatience when told the
Baltic delegates were prepared to
. discuss officially only the exchange
' of prisoners, remarking that he did
not desire to waste time on unim-
portanf details which could be in
; - eluded in a peace treaty. Subse
quently when peace terms were in
" formally discussed, Litvinoff flatly
" refused to consider the establish
ment of a neutral zone and was not
inclined to treat the question of an
, armistice apart from peace.
One of the correspondent's in
formants said that the position of
the Baltic states would be uncertain
.even if peace were concluded, de-

: Opinion of U. S.. Senators
Administration Policy of Writing Notes in Reply to
Outrages Too Lenient a Manner of Handling the
Situation Admission of Anarchists Is Condoned.
By SEN. CHARLES CURTIS OF
KANSAS.
.Washington, Nov. 27. I think
that the United States should take
immediate steps to protect the lives
and property of its citizens who are
in Mexico. Their rights have been
neglected entirely too long. It is a
well known fact that American lives
have been taken and American prop
erty has been stolen or confiscated
and the administration has not been
able to stoo these outrages by writ
ing notes, and it seems to me that
the time for progressive action is at
hand.
"The Carranza government has
encouraged and assisted the enemies
of the United States and from in
formation given out by the Depart
ment a)f -Justice it is certain that
they . are permitting objectionable
characters - and , propagandists to
cross over : the border into the
United States"
The people of the United States
ar tired, of having the Carranza
government uphold its citizens who
are kidnaping American citizens and
holding them for ransom.
I hope that the government will
as soon as1 possible take every step
that is " necessary to fully protect
he interest of the lives and-property
of our citizens in Mexico. There
has been altogether too much dalli
ance, v
By SENATOR MORRIS SHEPf
. .. PARD OP TEXAS. ,
Jt is a .very difficult thing to han
dle these incidents so as to keep out
of war and td avoid armed interven
tion.' ' ' ; ' "V
The president and secretary of
state have exercised wonderful pa
tience and will continue, It am sure,
to, avoid bloodshed and a' clash of
arms. sS'GF?'-
. I feel sure.'also, that they will up
hold the dignity and interest of 'the
country in every proper way and
will not submit to national humilia
tion. ' '"
This is no time for truckling. I
feel that special attention should be
given to the matter of admissions
of anarchistic agitators across the
border and I feel that this will also
be investigated promptly and dealt
with effectively by the departments
concerned.
Certainly this is a case when the
league Of nations would operate
most admirably to all concerned
and to the maintenance of the peace
of the wester,n hemisphere.
The recent war has taught us that
an outbreak or clash in any part of
the world no matter how remote,
may ultimately involve all civilized
mankind. It is especially necessary
that war be avoided if possible in
our relations with Mexico. Let us
hope .that a peaceful solution may1
yet be reached. ,
By SENATOR JOHN H. BANK
HEAD OF ALABAMA.
We shall all have to admit that
the situation in Mexico is pretty
bad, but it has been that way a long
time; ' ;
Mexico has ignored every request
that we have made from saluting our
flag to criminal wrong and has got
away with it. I think this adminis
tration has been perhaps too lenient
and that Carranza feels he has a
right to do as he pleases in the mat
ter. In "the past if we wanted a re
dress of grievances, we would write
Carranza a note. Of course, he
pays no attention to that and then
we write him another. ' i
Now, again we hear , of wrongs
and I don't know what: we can do
except leave it to the administra
tion. And when they got tired of
writing notes then perhaps they can
try some other remedy.
By SENATOR WILLIAM E.
BORAH OF IDAHOk
- First Chief Carranza is trying to
build up his own political strength
in Mexico by using the Jenkins case
to inflame the Mexican people
against the United States.
I have not been able to follow the
Mexican- situation very closely be
cause of the treaty but it appears to
me that' Carranza is trying to
unite his own factions by his atti
tude against the United States.
By SENATOR LAWRENCE
SHERMAN OF ILLINOIS.
The border condition for some
years have been such as to warrant
our government's interference to
restore safety to the states.
The recent imprisonment of Con
sul Jenkins is by the direction of
the Mexican government. That
ought not to be tolerated for a min
ute. !
The whole series pf captures of
claring they could not trust the word
of the bolsheviki.
The probable effect of the scare
Litvinoff gave the Baltic delegates
will be to accelerate the organization
of a league of border states, which
otherwise would prove to be most
difficult owing to their rivalries.

American citizens and holding thein
for ransom has passed the limits of
endurance. Jenkins ought to be re
leased instantly. The money paid
by his friends for ransom should be
refunded and suitable apologies to
our country made, or we should
intervene.
Mexico ought to be blockaded if
we intervene, or a general clean
ing up of her condition had.
It will not be done under this ad
ministration, however. At least that
is my opinion. Nothing in'the at
titude of the present administration
would give us reason to hope for a
settlement of questions that could
possibly be so close to our shores
as the Mexican trouble.
The league of nations is its prin
cipal concern and I want to say right
here that the league of nations is
about as objectionable as the Car
ranza government. .
By SEN. HENRY L. MYERS OF
MONTANA. '
f believe the time has come when
we should make Mexico quit trif
ling with the United States.
For years if has trifled with and
defie'd us with impunity in the most
flagrant -and outrageous manner,
Our citizens have been murdered;
their property has been destroyed
We - have claims for millions of
dollars of damages, to which Mex
ico is paying no attention and ap
parently intends to pay no intention,
By REPRESENTATIVE OTIS
WINGO OF ARKANSAS.
I said in a speech in the house
five years ago that I thought Uncle
Sam should go across the Rio
Grande, take up the border line be
tween the United States and Mex
ico and carry it down to the Pana
ma canal. I am still of that opinion,
No peaceable citizen will stand for
a cat fight in his back yard while he
is trying to sleep. The situation in
Mexico today is nothing more than
a cat fight in our back yard, and it
is going to keep up. until we take
the bootjack of our, army and navy
and chase the cat away, clean up
the back yard and make it a part of
our garden. ' v
By REPRESENTATIVE HAHRY
E. HULL OF ARIZONA.
The Mexican situation is certainly
ridiculous as far as this government
is concerned. We have been de
manding things of Mexico for six
years and so far as 1 know not one
of the demands has been complied
with. We ought either to quit mak
ing demands or enforce some of
them.
By REPRENTATIVE JOHN
NOLAN OF CALIFORNIA.
I thought that when the United
Mates hrst began to interfere in the
affairs in Mexico that we should
play hands off and let the Mexican
people work out their own salva
tion. I believed that at that time
they would soon fight it out, the
stronger element would prevail and
the country become pacified.
But the situation has gone too far
now for the United States to remain
idle and permit the lives and prop
erty of its citizens in Mexico and
along the border to be always in
jeopardy without holding the Mex
ican government to account. "
Opening Gun of Moral
War on Dancing Is
Fired by Paris Police
l By TTnlTemal Servlee.
Snenial Cable DIsDatch.
Paris, Nov. 27. The police order
closing the tango palaces and plung
ing Fans into the danceless gloom
of the war days is regarded as the
opening gun of a moral war on danc
ing and other relaxations tavored
lately by Parisians. The dance hall
proprietors charge that M. Raux, the
perfect of police, is a stern religion
ist and that he has made the coal
shortage a pretext for stopping the
terpischorean craze which he detests.
The Association of Dancing Mas
ters announced today that they will
proceed immediately to erect huge
dancing salons, heated by oil in the
suburbs where the perfect has no
jurisdiction and will run . lines of
motor buses to them from the city.
The edict is causing a loss of
$1,000,000 weekly to proprietors, in
vestors and employes of the halls,
it is said. '
Coal Committee Reports
Situation Here Favorable
The coal situation in Omaha was
pronounced "more favorable" by H.
L. Snyder, acting chairman of the
terminal coal committee, and mem
bers of the committee yesterday
took their first vacation , in eight
days. i
Although the actual coal supply
is very low in the city, a large quan
tity of western coal is expected to
begin arriving here by Monday,
Mr. Snydar said, and the situation
will be relieved.

PEACE TREATY
FORJULGARIA
Agree to Return Loot and Pay

Will Lose Some Terri
' v tory.
Paris, Nov. 27. M. Stambuliwsky,
oremier of Bulgaria, signed the
treaty of peace between his country
and the allied powers at the Neuilly
town hall at 10:40 o'clock this morn
ing. . (
By the conditions of the treaty
which was signed this morning at
the Neuilly town hall, Bulgaria is
called upon to surrender all works
of art and valuables taken from al
lied countries, during the war and
to pay an indemnity of approxi
mately $445,000,000. Bulgaria is
deprived of Thrace- and also loses
Strumitza, a small triangular sec
tion of territory, the latter being
assigned to Serbia. Proposals which
would give Bulgaria a . corridor
through Thrace to the Aegean are
left to the future disposition of the
allied governments. The boundary
between Roumania and Bulgaria is
changed in only minor details.
Compulsory military service in
Bulgaria is abolished by the treaty
terms, the Bulgarian army being
limited to 20,000 men, with a gen
darmeries, or police force, not ex
ceeding 10,000. All arms and am
munition exceeding the amounts
laid down by the treaty shall be
turned over to the allies.
M'ADOO FURTHER
FLAYS OPERATORS
FOR HUGE PROFITS
Says 1917 Earnings, in Some
Cases Exceeded Entire
Capital Invested.
New York, Nov. 27. Profits-sev-
eral times in excess of the entire
capital invested came back to many
coal operators in 1917, William C.
McAdoo, former secretary of the
treasury, declared in a further state
ment relative to the coal contro
versy. He asserted those operators
"must now be on velvet" The state
ment follows: ' " '
"The coal operators assert that I
gave out confidential information
when I stated that profits of the
mine owners in 1917 ranged from 15
to 2,000 per cent on'caoital stock
before deduction of taxes.
"This was not confidential in
formation. The Treasury department
may publish statistical matter ot
this character any time. In fact, in
formation concerning this very sub
ject' was furnished by me to the
United States senate in response to
a resolution introduced by Senator
Borah concerning profiteering, and
was published July 3, 1918 (see sen
ate document 259, Sixty-fifth con
gress, second session.)
"In this report the returns of
several hundred coal companies
showed profits ranging from 15 to
800 per cent on their invested cap
ital in 1917. The range of profits was
higher on capital stocks. In short,
many operators got back their en
tire invested capital several times
out of their profits in 1917, as shown
by the reports, and faiust now be on
velvet." I
