possibly by the representatives of the
smaller nations.
The formal aubmlsaton of the
plan to the conference marks dis-
tinct progress. It means the first
milestone and. next that 31 r.
Wilson's Insistence on making the
league guarantee the whole peace
treaty has been recognized by his
associates.
In this respect it can be said he
has won an important point. This is
due to the fact that he has used
methods of persuasion and earnest
ess. which appealed to his col-
leagues though it is all true that
their opposition to the idea of con-
sidering the league of nations first
was not as deep rooted as was rep
resented in the earlier days here.
They See the Point.
The fact is that when president
Wilson gave valid reason for making'
league guarantees they saw the
point in much the same spirit as he
has recognized the merits of his col
leagues' contentions on other points.
On the whole amity prevails so
far as fundamental principles are
concerned.
It is too earlv to Kav what the
viewpoints will be when the plan Is
LAWIlEXCEl
f whether fe allied statesmen who are
behind the project are wilting to let
it drop.
Whatever hopes -or enthusiasm
may be derived hereafter from
the plan of the league of nations.
It becomes obvious daily that the
first 'practical test as to whether
the big powers can make any
league effective Is their solution
of the Russian situation.
Tne problem is made acute by the
fact that there are many factions in-
side Russia clamoring for represen-
tation at the peace conference and
also the circumstances resulting from
the economic and political chaos.
Both Sides Want Help.
All available Information of an of-
ficial character emphasizes the exist
ence of an tl Bolshevist groups corre-
sponding in p umber to the Bolshev-
ists. Each of these groups seems to
be potent in its own region. Any
move which means to treat with the
soviet as the defacto authority as
was proposed recently by Lloyd
George not as an act of condoning
Bolshevist terrorism but to get some
central authority with which to deal
effectively means naturally deep an-
tagonism of the antiBolsbevist fac-
tions which are struggling to over-
throw the soviet. The leaders' of the
armies fighting the Soviets are ap-
pealing for arms and ammunition.
Bnt this policy is beset with many
dangers too. because of the ease with
which the cry of intervention can be
raited as a means of antagonising the
people against the allies.
The official word here is that the
peace conference is rapidly approach-
ing an agreement on Its policy. H
seems most likely that an appeal will
be made to all the factions to bring
about an international agreement.
Delegates representing the respective
factions may be invited to come here
and make an effort to bring about a
compromise solution. Tt is certain
that some affirmative action it the
peace conference will be announced
soon wherein the United States may
be able to participate.
Work on Leacne of Nations.

sociates are listening to the recitals

conditions a special committee rep-

BOLSHEVISTS ORDERED TO
SURRENDER WITHOUT FIGHT
IFPETROGRAD IS ATTACKED
T OXTX3N England Jan. 23. Leon
JLi Trotzky the Russian minister of
war has ordered Zinorieff the Bol-
shevik governor of Petrograd to sur
render that city without a fight If it
is attacked by the northern Russian
forces according to an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen.
Dispatch Is Garbled.
fThe oreeoinc d .snatch received
in London last night apparently was
garbled in transmission between Lon-
don and Copenhagen. The dispatch
last night made it-appear that the Bol-
shevik! had been ordered to surrender
a town named "Sinoveff." which does
not appear on available maps tne
name havlnc been confused with Zin-
ovieff the commander of Petrograd).
In northern It us la. the dispatch
adds the IlolheIk forces have
been defeated and a large part of
them have surrendered. In addi-
tion great numbers of peasants
are reported to be in revolt In va-
rtnna narts of Bolshevik II DBS ra.
(Zinovieff is a close associate of
premier Lenine. He has been In com-
mand in Petrograd most of the time
since the Bolshevik capital was re-
moved to Moscow.)
Estbonlan officials claim that
the defeat of the Bolshevists af-
ter the capture or Xarva .amount-
ed to a complete rout according
to a Helalngfors diftpstch to the

principal object of Its work the es-

This question promises to command
virtually the undivided attention of
the delegates until their action re-

or another. As the Russian delegates
are not expected at Princes island

nearly the whole attention of the con-
