"Although the bolshevik forces 'are growing, bolshevlsm Is leaning. j\V« '.are supplying 'the countries bordering Russia with means of resisting the Invasion of bolshevlsm." ' The allied representatives in Paris have arrived at & complete understanding on the great fundamental questions that would affect peace with .Germany, he declared. The allies had formulated their demands, and he hoped that by the end of next week 'they would be presented. Replying in the house of commons to previous criticisms of his activities at the peace conference in Paris. Premier Lloyd George said the situation. ;was "still full of perils for all countries." He pleaded that "those who . were trying to do their best be let •'.alone." No conference in history, said the premier, had been faced with problems of such variety, complexity, magnitude > and gravity. The congress of Vienna, which was the nearest approach to It, took 11 months for Its work, but that congress, Mr. Lloyd George pointed out, sank into' insignificance as compared with what had been settled by this conference. The time spent by the peace conference in framing the league of nations plan saved time instead of wasting it, Lloyd George declared, as the league would provide a means of adjustment . of possible errors. "I would rather leave Russia bolshevik until they see their way out of it rather than see Great Britain landed in bankruptcy," was One of the premier's declarations. ' "It Is not true that the United States • and Europe have been at variance," the premier declared. He deprecated ' attempts to sow dissension among the delegates. Lloyd George said that it was his earnest conviction that military inter- . vcntlon in Russia would be the greatest act of stupidity. The premier said reliable information showed that while the bolshevik force was apparently growing bolshevlsm itself was gradually waning--breaking down before the relentless forces of economic facts. In reference to the league of nations deliberations, Mr. Lloyd George said the conference might have taken more time but for t^e fact that it was setting up machinery capable of readjusting and correcting possible mistakes. ' _ "And that la why the league of nations, instead of wasting time, saved time," he added. The conference had to shorten Its labors, continued the premier, because while it was trying to build, In many lands the foundation of society was tumbling into the dust. No body of men worked harder or in better harmony than the peace conference, he asserted, and he doubted whether any body of men ever worked under greater difficulties. "Stones were clattering on the roof and wild men were screaming through the keyhole while the enormous issues depended upon them which required calm deliberation." He asked for the opportunity for such deliberations for the rest of the Journey, which was not at an end. Journey Made by Capt. E. F. Whlt%, an American Army Aviator, in Reg?. > Sulation Army Plane Equipped : ^ With Liberty Motor. . New York, April 22.--The first nonstop airplane flight from Chicago to New York was made by Capt. E. F. White, an American army aviator, who flew 727 miles in a De Havlland 4 army reconnaissance plane at an average speed of 106 miles an hour. He ascended from the Ashburn aviation field at Chicago at 9:50 o'clock central time, and descended at Hazelhrirst Held, Mineola, L. I.. at 5:40, eastern time, the acttial flying time being 6 hours and 50 minutes. He was accompanied by his mechan- •cian, H. M. Schaefer. Some officials of the Aero Club of America said they believed Captain White had won not only the honor of being the aviator to make the first nonstop flight from Chicago to New fork, but that he might also have the honor of holding the American and perhaps the world's record for continuous flight. The executive committee of the club »warded him the club's medal of merit, "in appreciation of his marvelous detnanstration of the practicability of aslng airplanes for fast transportation." The presentation will be made at Atlantic City on May 4. Officers at Hazelhurst field said that the" biplane used by Captain White was one of the standard De Havlland 4s constructed for the use of the American army In France. It was equipped with a 12-cylinder Liberty mo^or of 400 horsepower. The iriachine was prepared for the trip, at the McCook field, near Dayton, O. Captain White recently flew the machine from Dayton to Detroit and from Detroit to Chicago. Captain White had great difficulty in taking to the air at Ashburn field. The ground was soft and the heavy army plane, with the load of more than 100 gallons of gasoline, cut Into it deep\j, but after the aviator had had his plane dragged to a harder spot he managed to take the air. Circling over Chicago, Captain White ascended to 10,000 feet--nearly two miles -hlkh. Throughout his flight he did not go below this level until he was ready to land. At Intervals he flew as Jiigh as 12,000 feet. About five o'clock persons who were visiting the ships of the Atlantic fleet In the Hudson river and walking along Riverside drive saw a bluish airplane come down from the north at high speed, turn sharply to the east, then gradually come to a lower level as it circled over the city. It was Captain White and his army plane bearing the No. 30,130. After sailing over the city for ten minutes Captain White turned toward the field at Mineola, where he landed. Captain White would not discuss the details of his flight. The army officers did not press him to talk because of the weariness shown both by him and his mechanic. He said that the winds and all other atmospheric conditions had been perfect throughout. PLANNED <*»t* United States, Great Britain and ^-France Form Triple Agree-, ?j."' ment.

Marshal Foch Prepare* td Take Drastic Action I? Enemy at Peace Treaty* ^ Paris, April '21.--The plfrtl of the^ council of four to have Belgium prosecute the former German emperor on the charge of responsibility for the war Is meeting with objections which are again bringing up the whole subject for revision. Those who have the matter In hand divide the question of war responsibilities into two distinct classes. The first class Includes military and naval offenders, like General Ludendorff and Admiral Tlrpltz, and those accused of various excesses against the usual rules of warfare. The second class Includes former Emperor William, ex-Chancellor Bethmann- Holweg and others whose offense is chiefly of a political nature. Concerning the political offenders It is said that a tribunal is not necessary and would be ineffectual, owing to the legal immunity of political offenders. Therefore it is maintained that the action against Napoleon furnishes a precedent for the determination of the allied course as a general* measure of policy. In the case of Napoleon, there was no trial, but he was confined on the Island of St. Helena as a general measure of policy for the tranquility of Europe. Some such general policy is designed to reach ex-Emperor William and other political offenders with Belgium or another country against which the political offenses charged were chiefly directed acting for the purpose of securing the extradition of the Individual as a preliminary to putting the general policy into effect. Military experts under the direction ot Marshal Foch have been charged with the drafting of a report on what should be done la the, event that Germany refuse* to sign the treaty of peace. ; T NEW ENGLAND STRIKE ENDS Telephone Operators? : Walkout Settled ^?s-^ a $aaferenca HeWfefll' , ,•*;*».

Paris, April 23.--Germany has notified the allies that she accepts all the allied conditions respecting the Versailles conference. Paris, April 23.--The announcement by Count Brockdorff-Rantzau, the German foreign minister, that his governmeht would send delegates without full powers to receive the peace terms and transmit them to the German government, has contributed greatly, the newspapers say, toward an alliance between France, Great Britain and America. The French press insists negotiations looking toward such an alliance are still In progress. The German reply to the ultimatum of the council of four that It will not receive any delegation not fully Empowered to conduct and negotiate peace Is awaited anxiously In peace conference circles. The next step toward peace depends on the German reply. Fears are felt that this unexpected development may affect the .program for the meeting planned for Friday at Versailles. • If the German government raises a controversy regarding the status of their delegates and the procedure to be followed, It Is conceivable that the arrival of their delegates at Versailles may be postponed. President Wilson had a long conference wltlf Baron Makino and Viscount Chlnda of the Japanese peace delegation. The extent of the guarantee which the United States and Great Britain have given to the French as security against renewed German attacks continues to be the foremost topic In the French press. The French representatives maintain that the guarantee takes the form of an alliance. The Matin says: "This alliance has already been drawn In the form of a brief text, stipulating the three powers will give each other mutual support if Germany attacks us again. The signature of the stipulation will occur at the same time as the signing of the treaty." The American officials withhold all comment on these reports. If is known, however, that a number of proposals have been brought forward, designed to give a more prompt and more effective guarantee of military assistance to the French than the league of na tlons affords. President Wilson's contention has been that the league was enough guarantee, in line with his speech before a plenary session of the conference when he said: "That is a definite guarantee by the world against aggression; it is a definite guarantee against the thing which has just brought civiliza tlon to the verge of ruin." The council of four of the peace conference, In the interval before the peace treaty is handed to the German delegates, will make up the question of making the document public. Ray Stannard Baker, representing the American delegation, in agreement with the press advisers to the delegations of other countries, has recom mended to the council the publication of the treaty immediately after its delivery to the Germans. Otherwise, it is pointed out, the first version of the Important provisions of the treaty would be Issued by the Germans and might be loaded up with German propaganda. The plan proposed'on behalf of the United States is for the American delegates to cable, for simultaneous distribution on the American continent, first a 250-word official summary of the treaty; second, a 5,000-word official summary, and third, the text of the treaty. The two summaries would be given to the American press at about the same time and the treaty a day or two later, the text possibly to be distributed by installments aa i| wa* ceived. « Lad Fall* 200 Feet.
