- Washington. Feb. J4.—The first ad-
dress in the senate In defense of the

nations was delivered today by Sena-
tor Lewis of Illinois, democrat whip,
Hrho took issue with the recent crlti-
esms made by Senator Borah of
laho, republican, and Reed of Mis-
souri, democrat;
Speaking for nearly two hours, Sen-
ator Lewis denied contentions of op-
ponents of the league that It would
abrogate the Monroe doctrine, that It
•was a departure from the principles
of Washington and Jefferson; that it
■would dictate world armament and
that America would be outvoted by
the United Kingdom.
Immense Audlencc Applauds.

"It win be before the American peo-

that if the Illinois member's argument
was correct, the league would not

Traverse City, Mich. Feb. 2 ♦'-Sev-
eral persons connected more than a
decade ago with the little convent at
Isadore, near here, were being sought
»o(tar by county authorities in an el-
fort to throw light on the disappear-
ance in 1007 of Sister Mary Johns, a
nun who officers say, they believe
came to her death by violence. ».
At the time of her disappearance it
generally understood that Sister
Mary had left the convent to visitrel-
»lives. This belief was accepted by
the authorities until a short time ago
when a workman at Isadore made
affidavit that he has exhumed a body
from beneath a church and helped ic-
inter it in a nearby cemetery.
Conviction of the authorities that
the body was that of the missing nun
was strengthened by the *mdln^ ° £
rosary and a portion of a.cord such
as is used on a nun's frock, under
pile of cordwood In the basement of
the church. ...virtues
Among those whom the authoring
expect to help In clearing
terv is Itev. Andrew Bienwske, pastor
at Isadore at the time of Sister Mary s
disappearance and Mrs.
Lypchinski, housekeeper for Father
Bienowske. Both are now understood
to be at Mauistee, Mich. Father Ed-
ward Podlewiski, who succeeded
Father Bienokske at Isadore, at pres-

London, Feb. 24.—The United King-
dom is faced with the prospect of civil
strife and the house of commons
should do everything in its power to
avert it, Premier Lloyd Oeorge de-
c'ared today In introducing a bill to
constitute a committee to Inquire into
the conditions prevailing in the coal
Industry.
The premier said he had been ad-
vised that to grant the demands of the
miners would throw a burden of tne
most serious sort upon other indus-
tries--a burden so serious and so
grave that it might have the effect cf.
throwing scores if Dot hundreds of
thousands out of employment and
that ii might cripple the export trade
in coal, iron, steel, machinery and
shipping.
It might be, said the premier, that
the figures the government had were
inaccurate and that was the reason
for the inquiry. .
A commission of Inquiry, the pre-
mier added, would be appointed, fhe
commission would cover the question
of wag^s and hours of work, the cost
of production and distribution of coal,
the general organisation of the coal
K'inea. profiteering, social conditions
and other matters.
The commission would report by
March 31 while the miners asked for
a report by March 15. The premier
said that a strike for sixteen days
would cause a break down of the ma-
jority of the Industries and the gov-
ernment would have to feed the coun-
try with such fuel and supplies as it
had at its disposal. Distress would
fall on every class of the community.
The composition of the commission,
the grremier added, could not be de-
termined until after the miners met
Wednesday to decide whether they
would take part in the inquiry.
The premier said the country had
come to a most serious turning point
in trade and the government hesitated
to make the concessions asked for
without the closest possible examina-
tion.

Warsaw, Feb. 24.—"We must fight
the treacherous Poles to the last
soldier." This is the dictum Leon
Trotzky, Russian bolshevik minister
of war, sent from the Perm front to
the Smolensk-Minsk headquarters,
whence the troops have been ordered
to advance on Baranovitchl. Trotzky
is anxious to give the Poles what he
terms " a lesson" as he especially
hates Paderewskl.
It is just revealed that prior to
PaderewSki's becoming premier the
members of the Polish legation in
Moscow were arrested and some shot
When the Warsaw government pro
tested the Moscow government re-
plied:
"We are aurprlsed. • We thought
we were doing you a favor by locking
up your bourgeois representatives."
JUQces Pomp and Panoply.
Trot#ky has assumed an exalted
military Attitude, assembling about
him commissaries whom he treats as
marshals. He hold* separate reviews,
aometlmes riding on horseback wear-
ing a high Sheepskin cap and calling
out to the men "good morrow, my
little soldiers," whereupon they reply
"good morrow, comrade!"
These close relations, however, did
not prevent one of his comrades from
stealing Trotsky's sable overcoat re-
cently during a halt when the war
minister was enjoying his usual
sumptuous meal.
Aspires to Be a Czar.
Trotzky also has of late assumed
more power than ever, had a fierce
quarrel with Nikolai Lcnlne, bol-
shevik! premier, regarding the pro-
posed Princes Islands conference. He
strongly opposed this conference but
Lenine prevailed. Lenlne desires to
preserve bolshevlsm at any cost and
also to keep in as far as possible with
the allies, in the belief that bol-
shevism will sweep the world.
Sverdloff, of the central executive
committee of the council of work-
men's and soldiers' delegates has been
playing mediator between Trotzky and
Lenlne and has been engaged at Vllna,
Minsk and other points in urging the
boleshevlk officers to cease their
crimes and keep a semblance of order
as reports of murder and pillage are
reaching the "capitalistic press."
Meanwhile Trotzky is continuing
to build uup an army which is now
estimated at 000,000 men. He is sup-
posed to have ammunition for six
months.

former commander-in-chief of the
German armies on the Russian front,
haa been imprisoned at Munich on
suspicion of being one of the instiga-
tors of the murder of Premier Eis-
ner.

Berlin, Sunday, Feb. 2S.—A large
number of the members 6t the Ba-
varian aristocracy have been arrested
on suspicion of having been connectcd
with Count Arco Valley, who killed
Premier Eisner, according to a die
patch from Munich. Uhe socialist
government continues to search the
residences of members of the former
royal house *nd of (J»e nobility.

a former Bavarian prince is said to
have been among those arrested as a
result.
The spot where Eisner was killed is
banked high with flowers and wreaths
and a large portrait of the dead pre-
mier haa been set up" there. Enor-
mous crowds thronged there yesterday
to pay him silent homage.

patches say, are dissatisfied with the

restore unity among the socialist par-
ties and have broken off relations
with the socialist parties.

Boston, Feb. 24.—A m bassa d o r

first time In two years, had several
conferences with President Wilson
while coming over on the George
Washington and made several rec-.
ommendatlons for action on the part
of the allied and American govern-
ments for meeting the bolshevik men-
ace and restoring Russia to the fami-
ly of nations. Mr. Francis probably
will disclose them later when he ap-
pears before one of the congressional
committees. He probably will re-
main In Washington some time, ad-
vising the state department and con-
gress on the situation, as he saw it
on leaving.
"A reign of terror Instituted by
the bolshevik! with tl\e purpose of
maintaining themselves in power, is
prevailing In central and northern
Russia," said the embassador. "The
outrages they have committed are
incredible. I think it impossible to
restore peace to Europe with chaos
prevailing in Russia. In fact, with
Germany practically uninjured in
dustrlally, I am persuaded that If a
peace is negotiated with bolshevlkl
rule continuing in Russia, Germany
in twenty years or a decade will be
stronger than she was at the begin
nlng of the war. She is familiar
with the Russian character and for
a generation ha» been studying it
to Influence it. If this turn* out,
Germany Instead of having been de
feated will have gained a victory.

see me as I am to see you. It warms

have not been appreciative of the ex-
traordinarily generous reception
which was given me on the other side,
in saying that It makes me very happy
to get home again. I do not mean
to say that I was not very deeply
touched by the cries that came from
the great crowds on the other skio.
But I want to say to you In all honesty
that I felt them to bo a call of greet

in East Texas; 30
Arrests Are Made
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Boston, Feb. 24.—President Wilson will fight at home
as he has fought abroad for a league of nations. Returning
from Prance he had been on American soil not more than
three hours today before he threw down the gauntlet to those
who distrust the proposed concert of governments based, he
said, on the American ideals which had won the war for Justice
and humanity. An America confining to her own territories
her conception and purpose to make men free, he said would
have to keep her honor "for those narrow, selfish, provincial
purposes which seem so dear to some minds that have 110 sweep
beyond their nearest horizon."
Before a responsive audience that filled the biggest audi-
torium in the city the president pictured the old world fight-
ing with stubborn desperation and expecting in the end noth-
ing better for the peoples than they had known for centuries.
He pictured the American nation entering the lists with a new
purpose—the freedom of mankind. The old world had caught
the vision and any treaty of peace drawn otherwise than in
the new spirit would be nothing more, he asserted than a
"modern scrap of paper" and the present peace unless
guaranteed by the united forces of the civilized world could
not stand a generation. Bending over the speaker's table, his
face set in tense lines and his right hand clinched, the presi-
dent exclaimed "any man who thinks that America will take
part in giving the world any such rebuff and disappointment
as that, does not know America. I invite him to test the senti-
ment of the nation." Interrupted by applause, the president
halted and then evoked the greatest demonstration when he
added that he would accept no
sweeter challenge than the Issue of
the American purpose in the war. "I
have fighting blood In me," he said
with apparent feeling, "and It Is some-
times a delight to let it have acopa but
if it is a challenge on this occasion.
It will be an Indulgence." At another
point In his address the president
said that if the great hope of the
world for a league of nations was dis-
appointed, he would wish "for my
part never to have had America play
any part In this attempt to^emandpate
the world. I have no more doubt of
the verdict of America in this matter
than I have doubt of the blood that it
in me." , -f t
Given Rousing Welcome. * •
Now England gave the president a
rousing welcome homo. This city
probably never has seen a greater
crowd than gathered at every point
of vantage along the route from Com-
monwealth pier to which the naval
cutter Ossipee brought his party from
the steamer George Washington,
through the down town districts and
around two sides of Boston common
to the Copley plaza* hoU;l where a>
stop was made for luncheon.
At every turn the president waa
cheered. Hat In hand he stood in his
motor car throughout the two miles
of the parade except in one lft>ck be-
tween Washington and Tremont -
streets where because of the narrow
way spectators were not allowed to
congregate.
Guard of Honor.
The national army, the navy, the |
state guard and the city police In Unas
on either side of the route formed u
guard of honor for the entire distance
of the drive. So effective wore the ar-
rangements that not an unpleasant In-
cident occurred.
Opposite thC state house in front of
which a group of wounded soldiers
greeted the president, a handful ot
suffragists claiming to represent the
national woman's party took their
stand for a demonstration which they
had announced. Before the parade
reached them they were told by the
police to move on. Refusing, they ;
were arrested for loitering and locked
up. lAter at the hotel the president
received a committee from the Mas-
sachusetts Woman Suffrage associa-
tion, a. non-militant organiatton and
-anked Its members to convey to the
state body his "warm regards and
sympathy."
Has Audience of 8,000.
President Wilson was accompanied J
in the parade and later to Mechanic's;
hall where he spoke to 8,000
