WILL >OT NOW ADDRESS
CONGRESS ON LEAGUE
Senator Hitchcock Makes Strong
Plea for League in Answer to Its
Critics.
Washington, Peb. 27.—Further im-
.jiflirtant expressions of opinion on the
league, of nations came today fF6m !
President Wilson in his conference^
at the capitol, from Senator Hitch j
cock,‘of Nebraska, chairman of the ,
Fofeign Relations Committe, in an
address to the Senate, and from sen
ators and representatives who at
tended the dinner last night at the
White House.
President Wilson, in dicussing the
league with members of Congress and
also at a conference with newspaper
correspondents, expressed^confidence
in the success of the-plan. He also
let it be known that he had every ex
pectation of the conclusion of peace
within a few months and in this con-
nection said that territorial adjust
ments presented Ahe most delicate
problem remaining. Work on all
other questions, he stated, is rapidly
nearing completion by the commis
sions appointed to handle it.
The President was emphatic in ex
pressing his belief that in no particu
lar did the proposed constitution of
the league conflict with the American
constitution or the Monroe doctrine.
He also said he had in mind only one
amendment, designed to clarify the
cause dealing with, enforcement of
territorial decrees and reiterated
that he would not address congress
before it adjourns and would not ask
any formal expression from the Sen
ate on the league.
Mr. Wilson was said to have indica
ted that he was reluctant to reopen
the league constitution before the
peace conference. . He was represent
ed as feeling that with document ap
proved unanimously by fourteen pow
ers later many weeks’ deliberation it
would be inadvesable to reopen the
negotiations unless changes proposed
were fundamental. The change he
has in mind was' not so classed by
the executive. ^ ^
Senator Hitchcock in addressing the
Senate in vigorous support of the
league, replied to recent critics of the
plan. He declared that the alterna
tives before the world were peace
with the league of war and prepara
tions fob war without it; the interna
tionalism of nations or that of “the
socialist, the anarchist and the Bol
shevist,” the senator flatly denied
that .the league violates either the
Mdhroe doctrine or the principles
enunciated by Washington and charged
opponents with magnifying what they
regard as. dangers and with “conjur
ing up a scarecrow.” '
Senate debate will be resumed to
morrow, with addresses by Republi
can Leader Lodge and Senator Free-
inghuysen of Now York, Repubclian.
Today Senator Owen, of Oklahoma,
Democrat, introduced a resolution ad
vocating amendment of the league to
definitely declare that American sov
ereignty is not affected, while Senator
Spencer, of Missouri, Republican,
offered a resolution proposing that
the league be excluded from author
ity over “purely American questions.”
Both resolutions went to the foreign
rplfltlons committee without nrosnect
ing, 1,000 new cases beings reported
at Moscow weekly, and the hospitals
are unable to take care of them; Lack
of milk has resulted in many deaths
of children from starvation, The food
situation in Russia is very bad and the
food is distributed in three categories,
a full portfon to those doing heavy
work, a. half portion to employees of
the soviet government and private
houses and general office work and
one-fourth portion to people not en- j
gaged in any occupation. . •
The portions depend on the supply j
at hand, a full portion generally being
one pound of bread daily. Soldiers
get an army portion of two pounds of
bread, half pound of meat daily, and an
additional monthly allowance of two
and one-half pounds of sugar and
one and one-half pounds of fats.
“All clothes and other necessaries
can only be secured through permis
sion of government by cards and at
fixed prices.

FOCH’S MILITARY
IN AWFUL PLIGHT
State Department Makes Report Pub
lic. News From Refugees.
Washington, Feb. 28.—Additional
light on the situation in the portions
of Russia under Bolshevik control is
given by a summary of reports ob
tained recently from a number of refu
gees who passed through Helsingfors
on their way from Moscow to Stock
holm. The summary was made public
today by the state deparment because
of the \arious conflicting accounts of
conditions which have been received
recently.
“The party at Helsingfors,”‘said the
summary, “was composed of French,
Belgian and Italian citizens, most of
them Red Cross workers. The reports
all agree as to the excessive cost of
all necessaries and the scarcity of
fowl. Dog meat is quoted at. four
rubles ($2) a pound, horse meat at
15 rubles per pound, pork at GO rubles
and bread at 15 rubles. The country
is practically stripped of all manufac
tured articles, especially wearing ap
parel, and all grain and supplies are
requisitioned by the soviet government
from peasants who receive nothing in
return.

„■ Paris, March 1.—Marshal Foch pre
sented today to the council of the
great powers the military terms to be
incorporated in the peace treaty. These
w'il be crmsidertl Monday v ith the
council.
The,military terms provide for the
disarmament of Germany down to
twenty divisions of ten thousand
men each.
•Including 15 division of infantry-
and five of cavalry. Severe restric
tions, are placed on the manufacture
of all classes of war materials and the
military and commercial use of ihe
airplane is limited to the minimum.
Beyond Marshal Foch’s presenta
tion of the terms today, they were not
/ i
discussed. : '''■
The naval terms how before the
council provides not only for the com
plete suppression of Germany’s sub
marine equipment, but also, for the
termination of all submarine warfare
“The rumor as to the natlonalizafibiT
of women is not true although such
a decree had been .issued by ihfe com-
missair of Saratov, ' but was imme
diately cancelled by the soviet gov
ernment and the commissair promptly
dismissed.
“It is not known that any -serious
conflict exists between Trotzky and
Lenine. The Bolshevik power is main
tained by force of anhs and terror as
well as by an elaborate system of
spying and the control of the popula
tion by the Bolsheviki is reported to
be more effective and severe than
under the regime of the czar.
“Most of the factories have been
obliged to shut down and those that
are still running do not produce one-
third of the normal output. As a re
sult of the closing of the factories,
workmen are leaving the cities and
industrial dist-ycts for the villages
where the situation ift equally as bad
as the majority of the peasants re
fuse to do any more work than is ab
solutely necessary for their susten
ance as they are required to s$ll all
surplus to the goverpment at Very low
prices and receive -paper- currency in
which they have’no faith.” -
