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
