POLLOCK TROTZKY WORKS FOR ORDER Chief Characteristic Tired Feeling, * Tired of Killing, Tired of Fight-' . ing and Tired of Wandering. Warsaw.—That bolshevism is in its f ;-critical stage, either turning to im perialism, with perhaps Leon Trotzky, minister of war and marine, as the new emperor, or slipping back to the idea of nihilism, with a sort of order ly disorder, is the impression given by many refugees of all nationalities •who have arrived here from Russia, The corrsepondent has talked to a number of these people as to what might happen in Russia if there is no outside interference. One of them was a bolshevist soldier who deserted while his contingent was engaged in raiding the country 'west of Minsk. ‘‘^)ur chief characteristic,” he said. •Ms, that we are tired—tired of fool ing, tired of killing, tired of fighting and tired of wandering from pillar to post. There is no doubt that Leon Trotzky is attempting to obtain order and to whip the troops into shape. He is known to be terribly ambitious, and possibly he is dreaming of be coming czar, knowing that bolshevism tas failed.” MEMORIAL SERVICES HELD FOR THEODORE ROOSEVELT Washington.—In solemn services within the house chamber the nation’s leaders and represpntatives of foreign jjOTerq m e LrlbiUft4o^Uw. mem: oiry of Theodore Roosevelt. Members of Congress, supreme court justices, members of the cabinet, army * and navy officers, and diplomats of many nations heard Senator Lodge of Mas sachusetts praise Roosevelt as a statesman and as a man Crowded galleries and the throng of men and women who could not gain admission testified to the personal feeling for the man whose death shocked the world. It was this to which Senator Lodge, a close friend of the man he eulogized, referred when he spoke these words in the stillness of the house chamber: “A tower is fallen, a star is set! Alas? Alas? for Celin. The words of lamentation from the old Moorish ballad, which In boy hood we used to m ite. must. I think, have risen to many lips when the world was told that Theodore Roose- ▼elt was dead. But whatever the phrase the thought was instant and everywhere.” TO PURCHASE PROPERTY FOR NATIONAL CEMETERY C JUftRiS ft EWING A PERCENTAGE OF INDEMNITY SHOULD BE PAID AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

The first measures of the confererfce along fi nancial lines, he added, should be to take measures to prevent Germany from declaring herself an insolvent debtor or a bankrupt state. “Then,” Peret returned, “we should immediately fix the amount of our account against Germany whk*h she must be made to pay lo the full limit of her financial ability without con sideration for her feelings. It will be ,time enough then to decide about the method of payment. “Whether the installments- we shall demand from Germany be twenty, thirty or forty billions of francs yearly depends entirely - upon our decision, after an investigation as to what amount Germany will be able to pay. These payments would be guaranteed by customs tariffs decided upon at the conference, reserving for ourselves the right to raise such tariffs should Ger- Cravei and Kidney Stone Caused Intense Suffering D«»“* Brought a Cuick Cure.
