NEWS REVIEW OF - CURRENT EVENTS Council of League of Nations Has Stopped One War and Headed **> Off Another. ITS FRIENDS ARE ELATED Opponents of Covenant Alto Find an Argument for a Lodge Reservation— Poles and Russians Talk Peace While Latter Loee Battles— Guerrilla Warfare In Ireland. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Believers In the League of Nations are luuvh elated by the results of the ninth ajjMaldn of the lengue council whlch ejitled In Paris early In the week. By diplomatic presentation of fact and argument, the' council In duced four nations, which were* on the verge of engaging in two wars, to agree to peaceful settlement of their differences. In one of the cases, In deed, hostilities already had broken out. This was the case of Poland and Lithuania. These two nations con sented to suspend hostilities Immedi ately pending n settlement of their dispute which both sides will accept. In this settlement the league council will be represented by Count Qutnones de Leon, Spanish ambassador to Flranee, and Huron Kelshiro Matsul, Japanese vice forelfcn minister. When the council meets In October, It Is ex pected, at least a tentative decision will be ready for Its approval. The council lmd almost given up hope of arranging this settlement when, on the lut day of the session. Ignace I'aderewski, head of the Polish delegation, suddenly arose and In dramatic speech declared his countn r was eager for peace with Lithuania and believed the latter nation also desired peace. M. Woldemar and oth er Lithuanian delegates arose, strode across the room and warmly shook hands with the Pqles. while the room rang with cheers. Woldemar declared his confidence in the fairness of the council and said he would abide by its decision. Sweden's dispute with Finland over possession of the Aland Isiands was the other matter which It was believed was put In a fair way to be decided without recourse to arms. t The Finns offeral a reservation which created some doubt at flrst, but this, it ap peared, was made for technical rea sons and would not offer any difficulty which could not be surmounted. Neith er nation. It was pointed oat by league officials, was legally bound to accept the decision of the league, but both are morally obligated to do so, and If a settlement can be offered that Is backed by public opinldh, the govern ments cannot well refuse to.concur, A commission was appointed to Inquire Into the merlta of the dispute. Opponents of the league found In this Aland Islands case fresh argu ment to support their belief that the league covenant, as It stands, gives the council the chane* to do Just what the supporters of the Lodge reserva tions feared—to interfere In domestic questions. They point out that Kln lnnd contended that the Aland Island dispute is a Finnish domestic, not an International, question and that the league had no Jurisdiction (hereof. The league council rejected the Fin nish contention, pronounced the ques tion International and appointed the commission. r There Is In the covenant, say the objectors, no guarantee that the coun cil would not pronounce the t>resent controversy between Japan and the United States over Immigration an In ternational question subject to Its Jurisdiction; and If Japan should sub mit the dispute to the league, as is suggeeted In that country, the United States would be in an awkward if not a dangerous position. One of the Lodge reservations, It will be remem questlons should be exempt from the Jurisdiction of the league. Japanese leaders have Mimofft tressed Shope, for a settlement of the lm igratlon dispute while the present administration Is In power, and their chances for favorable under the next administration are slim. Fol lowing up the declarations made by Senator Harding, Governor Cox has been telling the Pacific coast people that he believes they are right In wishing to exclude the Japanese. It seems certain that the next adminis tration, whether Republican or Demo cratic, will he pressed to terminate the present trecty with Japan, so that ex clusion tea* be legal. With Califor nia's apparent determination to adopt additional restrictive legislation, the race question on the coast becomes more serious daily: but wise and well Informed persons, In' both America and Japan, have little fear that It will result in war. In accordance with aa agreement made last July between Japan and Asiatic Russia, the Japanese war of fice has evacuated Khabarovsk and the only Japanese garrisons left In Siberia are at Vladivostok and along the Usurl railway. Asiatic Russia, It Is said, has agreed to the peace, to maintain friendly relations with Japan and to abolish communism. The Pollsh-Itusslan peace confer ence opened In Riga, but It was sur rounded by nn atmosphere of gloom and the prediction was made freely that the results will be nil. Each side distrusts the other, and otr certain q nest ions It seems Impossible for them to get together. One of these Is Ukral nla, which the Reds assert is already self-determined In favor of soviet rule. The Ukrainians who follow Petfura deny this and say their soviet rulers are foreigners. They have sent rep resentatives to the Riga meet, but these are not admitted by the'reds. Disarmament by bqth Poland and Rus sia was declared by Adolph Joffe, head of the red delegation, to be the only guarantee of stable peace. Military operations agulnst the so viet forceq went right along, and their enemies scored several decided victories. The uplted Polish-Ukrainian front east of Lemberg was moving forward at the rate of fifteen miles a day and had reached Rovno and Kamenetft Podolsk, and the Ukrainian cavalry had occupied the latter Im portant city. In the Grodno region the soviet government claimed to have defeated the Poles and to have taken a number of towns. But the Moscow war reports have been- almost uni formly false since the collapse of the Invasion of Poland. Following the plan which was out lined last week, General Wrangel has been pushing his way northward along the Dnieper river and, at last reports, after several smashing victories, he had captured Alexandrovsk, together with about 10,000 prinoners, five ar mored trains, many guns and large stores of supplies. Turkish nationalists In southern Asia Minor have been displaying rlnewed activity and dispatches from Constan tinople aay they are besieging the the French in Adana, bombarding Tarsus and making frequent attacks on Merslna. These Turks are assisted by disaffected Arabs and also by Ger? man officers who have been stranded In the country since the armistice. These latter are handling the artil lery. The French at Adana and Tar «is have supplies In and are pre pared for a winter's siege. The Ar menian city of HadJln has sent out word that It Is facing starvation and massacre and must liaye help. The ImmertTate situation In Ireland has resolved Itself Into a guerrilla war of the most vicious description, whltfi ' so far ihe British authorities have not • been able to control. The Sinn Feln ers ambush and slay the police, sad > the police In reprisal kill the Sinn . Felners like rats and ravage their i towns. The most startling of these . occurrences was the raid last week on i Balbrlggan, the center of the weaving I industry erf south Ireland. Inspector r Burke of the British police In Ireland waa shot down as M was leaving a restaurant, and his brother was badly stationed, ten tracks fall of them ; - started for Bafbriggan. There tjiey first set fire to tbe public houses and ' a large number of private homes from j which they drove the people, and t&en' burned to the ground some of the larg est' hostory mills la.,lreland, belonging to an English firm. Tbey rtvound up the raid by murdering a barber and a dairyman, both Sinn Felners. Simi lar raids were made last week on other Irish towns where the police had been enraged by the killing or wound ing of their comrades. In Counfy Clare a military truck in which were a number of police was ambushed by armed men and in tbe'ensuing fight four of the officers were killed. The police Involved In the Balbrlggan inci dent were not members of the Royal Irish constabulary, but recruits "for that force who, their uniforms, are known as "black and tans." In the last two weeks more than twenty policeman and soldiers and a score of Sinn Felners have been killed In Ire land, and large numbers on both sides have been wounded. Oswald Garrison Vlllard, who used to be notoriously pro-German and anti-British,'has formed a committee of >IOO Americans to Investigate and report publicly on conditions in Ire land, with especial reference to atrod- , ties. Public hearings will be held in Washington by a commission of tbe committee. Several senators and gov ernors have agreed to serve oh the committee, all the members of which are said to be prominent citizens. So far as the public has been per mitted 'to know, little progress has been made toward discovering and ap prehending the perpetrators of tbe .Wall street bomb outrage. It has been definitely established, however, that the blast was caused by the explosion of a huge TNT bomb with a time de vice, and there Is no doubt the affair was arranged by reds. Mlny 'ftrrests have been made, but It Is not known that the guilty persons are In cus tody. Since the New York explosion a good many other cities have re ceived warnings that certain public buildings were to be blown op. A good- guess Is that the outrage was tbe work of radical leaders who wished by this demonstration to' keep up the revolutionary spirit of their recruits. The five Socialists who were ex pelled from the New Tork legislature some time ago, and who were re-elect ed recently, attempted to take their Seats. Three of them were again ousted, and the others resigned In pro- , test The action of the majority in the assembly was opposed by Theo dore Roosevelt and Is characterized by Charles E. Hughes "Incredible folly and flagrant disregard of the funda i mental principles of American Institu tions." Owing to certain complica tions thl* flme. the case may be taken i into the courts, j The Kenyon committee of the sen- _ > ate resumed in Washington Its Inves tigation of campaign funds, jand sub poenaed several bureau chiefs In the i endeavor to learn to what extent fed- I eral agencies are being employed to disseminate election propaganda for ( Cox.
