SAYS ALLIES ARE TO TAKE TROOPS OUT OF RUSSIA

Princes Island Conference Will Result in Agreement, Declares Hitchcock. WASHINGTON. Feb. 14. Prediction that the proposed conference at Princes' Island between representatives of the victorious associated nations and the various contending Russian factions would result in atTagreemeat for withdrawal from Russia of American and allied troops, was made in the senate today by Senator Hitch- ; cock, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, during another spirited debate on the American policy toward Russia. , 8enator Hitchcock said he believed all the foreign expeditions in Russia would "come out together" under an agreement with the Russian representatives which would prevent "butch- , ery" of troops left in Russia which have been friendly to the allies. Discussion of the Russian situation was opened by Senator Johnson, of California, Republican, who asked for immediate action on his resolution , which would place the senate on record as favoring withdrawal from RusTsia of the American expedition as soon as practicable. NEW POWER Continued From Pig On. past crimes be forgiven, Bince under the shadow of the gallows, he had embraced the true faith, not only with readiness but with obvious enthusiasm. The Germans see clearly that this is their single avenue of escape. They can still win tho -war if they can escape paying' for the damage they have wrought, and leave devastated and crippled France to pay t rot alone for the cost of defending hereelf but. the price of German de- ; vastations In all the regions Germany occupied end ruined. The German policy must be clearly understood: The Germans have stripped France and Belgium as far south as the Somme and the Marne of all machinery, not only machinery of factories, but even farm implements: they have destroyed cities and hamlets, they have paralyzed French and Belgian industry for decades; railways and canals, everything as to make, and having done this they will profit completely if they can escape paying for what they have done. Austrian Will Help. Nor is this all, or half. The collapse of the Hapsburg empire has made it Inevitable that six or" seven million Germans in Austria proper "will be united to the German empire. This means that with Alsace-Lorraine lost, Germany will gain at least five million

people and an area several times as large as that of the Rhlneland. She will ecqulre more territory than Prussia ever gained by successful war. In addition, there is the- Russian field. The allies have abandoned it, they have declined a task brobably beyond their resources of reinforcing the elements of order and organization in Russia. They have had recourse to the transparent ' device of the Principe conference, which means in fact that they have recognized the Bolshevikl and left the way open to the Germans to ally themselves with the conservative and sane elements in Russia, and thus to reorganize and exploit the vast Russian empire when peace at last comes. Those who appealed to the western powers to save them from Lenine and Trotsky will now have no choice but to throw themselves into the arms of Germany. Gigantic Transformation. 4 Thus wre have In three ' months a mighty and appalling transformation. Germany has already escaped from the first paralysis of defeat, the danger that the empire would break up is over. Instead we shall see seventyfive million Germans in the future instead of seventy millions. " We shall see a greatly enlarged German empire, including Vienna, touching the middle Danube, enfolding the new Bohemian state in its deadly embrace, and today threatening to prevent -that Polish renaissance which has been rightly recognized as the corner-stone of a Just and permanent settlement in Europe. All this, save the Polish circumstance, is now practically inevitable. An a consequence of her attack upon the world, Germany is to be greater in area and larger in population than in 1914. She has overturned the great Slav state and her pathway into the East is open for vast economic and incredible political expansion. ; ' Better Off than Before, j In all respects save two she finds herself already better off than before. Now these two limitations are obviously military and financial. Germany has not and cannot for a considerable time rebuild her army since she lacks material nor can she begin new wars since much of her teritory Is in enemy hands as a result of the armistice terms. She is powerless, therefore, to resist Allied demands for just reparation and restoration by her own military weapons. She is then thrown, back on a new line of action to avoid financial burdens, but with the very plain fact in mind that if she can avoid these burdens sho will emerge victorious from the war and be able alone ef the European nations to take up the old race in armaments. France Needs Help. For It is very clear that if France is not repaid for the terrible havoc wrought in her fields and factories and mines by the German invaders. France cannot both restore her economic life and maintain her army as of old. And if the French army is reduced the sola substantial obstacle to German ambition on the mainland of Europe disappears, while Britain, with her commercial fleet decimated by the submarine and her human resources reduced by war, and always lees numerous that the German, cannot sufficiently reforce France.

Mrs. Edwards Begins Plans For Stale Suffrage Meet Immediately after finishing . her work at the state legislature in Indianapolis, Mrs. Richard Edwards, president of the State Franchise league, began formulating plans for the state franchise meeting which will be held the first week In April. A national meeting ..will . be . held in St. Louis, March 24-28, . Arrangements have been completed for the Franchise League tea which will be "held in the public art gallery Saturday afternoon from 3 until 6 o'clock, at which Mrs. Edwards will be the guest of honor. She will talk on "Suffrage Today and Tomorrow." '

All of . which should make it perfectly clear what the German is now up to. He sees plainly a new chance to win the war. He has only to escape paying the costs of his devastations deliberately undertaken to cripple France and Britain, and he has won the game; he will emerge despite his military failure greater and less exhausted in material and human resources than the nations which defeated him in battle. And the way to achieve this end is unmistakeaole. He must appeal to the elements in all enemy and neutral countries whose idealism or congenital blindness make them the easiest victims of his new propaganda. Above all, he must enlist American sympathy and American support, and I do not think I exaggerate facts when I say that he is making substantial progress in this direction in certain American quarters in Europe. Starts the Campaign. The German begins his campaign by accepting without cavil the most extreme idealism anywhere to be found, and then goes it one better. He accepts Mr. Wilson's fourteen points and, having swallowed them, he proceeds to Interpret them. He accepts the League of Nations principle, having accepted it, he undertakes to annext it. He proclaims his enthusiasm for peace and justice, healing peace, and then he proceeds to outline it Consider the fact that this same German one year ago demanded the right to annex Belgium, Serbia and Poland, to take half of Northern France, and to enforce indemnities .which would have put this world in economic bondage to him for a century. He wrote all his purposes into the treaties of Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest, where they remain a matter of record. This was what he undertook to do when he felt himself a victor only twelve days less than twelve months ago. Appeals to the World. But now, the war lost, he appeals before the world in the name of international justice that none of his territory, whatever the desires of the population may be, should be taken from him. He characterizes , the French desire for French Alsace-Lorraine as wicked imperialism. He characterizes French and Belgian demands that he pay for wanton destruction as a proof of the desire to destroy Germany. He meets every just demand for reparation and resto

ration by a new accusation, appealing

with ever-growing vigor to precisely j those principles which he not only rejected, but spat upon - in his day of power.' ' ! The thing goes very deep. The German meant to annex Belgium because he wanted it, despite the unanimous wish of the Belgian people. But today, when the Poles of Silesia and of Pcsen ask to be reunited to Poland, he invokes, falsely, precisely the. same principles which were invoked justly in the case of Belgium. ' - His Plea. And when it is demanded1 that he pay for the wrecked industrial regions of France, he appeals to the same principles cited by his. enemies when -. he demanded, not that they should pay, for devastation, since they caused; none, but for his expense in the war of tconquest which he had inflicted upon the world in his pursuit of universal domination. And while in Paris the Allies are seeking to achieve just peace and construct a real league of Nations, having naturally and inevitably to examine conflicting claims and weigh and deal with national aspirations, some Just and some unreasonable, the German is steadily building up for himself this new policy and this new character. He is preparing to use every posible disguise of idealism and of justice to enable himself to win the war he once lost by arms. The danger of this new German campaign can hardly be exaggerated. j It is gaining headway in many places. It is hnding converts in many American quarters. It bids fair to capture international socialism as represented at Berns, and international finances represented everywhere. It will mean, if he succeeds that we shall have lost the war and Germany will emerge the only victor, with all of Russia as her first immediate prey and all of her Eastern ambitions revitalized. Has Not Reformed. If there' were anywhere the smallest sign that there had been real revolution m Germany, a genuine awakening of national conscience, honest rejection of old ideals, it would be differ ent. But the fact is patent. The men who ruled Germany at Weimar are exactly the men who for four years and half in Berlin accepted, endorsed and promulgated policies which are responsible for all the horrors of the recent war. . . . The peril of Bolshevism in Germany is over. Perhaps we all exaggerated it; but the peril of Germany herself has been restored. If Germany escapes from her terrible destruction, she wins the war. If France and Britain are saddled with these costs, in addition to the costs of defending themselves, neither can stand against the Germans again. But only thus can Germany escape. If she "succeeds by her new campaign in entrapping American public leadership, her triumph will be completed and, at least in Paris, the danger seems real and close at hand. At all events, it is time that the fact was clearly perceived in America that Germany has totally changed her situation, has executed a transformation which may yet have for the conference at Baris something of the same surprise Napoleon's return from Elba had for the Congress of Vienna a century ago.
