HOW RUSSIA'S RED ARMY WAS MADE The Bolshevik government of Soviet Russia has one of the strong. est and best trained fighting mach- ines on the European continent to- day.

Some of the plans labor with the problem of changing the hearts of men and disposing them toward. peace and good will; some labor to find a practicable means of dealing' with the economic causes of war; some labor with adjusting raclal animeosi- ties, with producing a finer concep- tion of nationalism, ete. The plan that won the prize urges that the United States should sup- port the League of Nations, though not as an active member. To quote the opening paragraphs of the plan: "That the United States adhere to the Permanent Court of Interna- tional Justice for the reasons and un- der the conditions stated by Secre- tary Hughes and President Harding in February, 1923, "That without becoming a member '| of the League of Nations as at pres- ent constituted, the United States government should extend its pres ent co-operation with the league and propose participation in the work of its Assembly, and Council under cer- tain reservations." The reservations are as regards Articles X and XVI for the most part, the articles against which so much criticism: was levelled by the United States congress. Other recommenda- tions involve the following: 1. Substitute moral force and public opinion for the military and economic force originally implied in Artidles X and XVI. 2. Safeguard the Monroe doc- trine. 3. Accept the fact that the Unit- od States will assume mo obligations under the Versailles Treaty except by act of congress. 4. Propose that membership in the League of Nations should be open to all nations. 6. Provide for the continuing de velopment of international jaw. The plan is being submitted to a referendum of the nation through means of a ballot in the press in or- der to test the feeling of the people concerning it.
