JOHNSON ACCEPTS

CHALLENGE TO TAKE TREATY TO PEOPLE NEW YORK. Jan. 14. Senator Hiram Johnson of California declared In. an address In Brooklyn Tuesday that he would accept the challenge of resident Wilson to take ratification of the peace treaty to the people of the country. "I dont care whether Republican leaders accept this sage of battle or not," he said. "For one, I accept the lsBue, and, so far as I can, upon it I shall go to the people of the United States. A subject which deals so intimately with the treasure and blood of the average American Is a Bubject upon which he has the right to ulti mate decision. Politicians upon one side or the other mar seek to avoid

this issue, but I say to you with all solemnity, if the politicians on both sides unite with absolute unanimity in hiding this subject and endeavoring to prevent its discussion; the American people themselves will wrest it from the politicians and themselves - decide it " After reiteratinhi3 advocacy of the

treaty with reservations Senator Johnson Issued a warning against the suppression of free speech and the right of assemblage. Every infringement of the law should be drastically punished, he said and no endeavor to overturn the government by force or violence should be tolerated, "but the difficulty !n some charters appears to be a certain vagueness as to what constitutes law and order." "There is real danger," he asserted, "that in our Just anger Against those who advocate or Justify crime of violence, we may be led by reactionary politicians or newspapers, who are Rearing the livery of patriotism, or by VW own zeal, into extravagance of suppression which will imperil the very foundation of the republic, the fundamental American principles of free speech and free assemblage."

Investment of American capital in foreign conntries la being delayed by the failure of the United States to ratify the peace treaty Secretary of Commerce Alexander declared today in an address to the American manufacturers export association. "If the peace treaty were ratified and the league of nations in operation" he said, "American investors would have greater confidence in putting their money into foreign securities." Regretting that the peace treaty should be made the subject of a political debate at a time when Europe's need for political and economic stabilization Is acute, the Secretary said "the United States has assumed a moral obligation in foreign affairs, which cannot be ignored." "The future of American Industry and commerce depends more than ever before upon active participation in foreign countries," he added. No immediate solution of the problem of European credits is in Bight Mr. Alexander asserted, but financial aid for the reconstruction'' of European countries must be extended by private American Investors and not-by the government. "The government can-, rot add to the heavy. burden of taxation to give large assistance to other countries," he 6ald. "Such assistance as the United States gives must be on a business basis.

As He Warned Against "Reds"

(Kansas City Star) ' Just a wisp of news came through the other day from Helsingfors announcing the death In Finland of Leonid Andreyeff, Russian writer and dramatist, and the item was buried in an obscure corner of the newspapers over against an advestirement of a manufacturer of soap. In these post-war days of soviet sins and Bolshevist outrages in blood-stained Russia, such is fame for a genius who has contributed heart gripping stories to the world's literature. But as a climax to this young writer's literary output, may it not be forgotten that his dying cry, "3 O 8," a vehement denunication of Bolshevism, was sent forth as an appeal for the salvation of his country and the release of the mind-locked people from the nightmare of the rule of Lenine and Trotzky. This document was translated into every European language. In fact, Andreyeffs keen vision and foresight made him a- prophet in the days when the Germans were pretending to be friends to the Russians on the fighting front, and had broken up the Russian army by Inducing the soldiers to lay down their arms and refuse to obey their officers, and when the Germans were fraternizing with the Russians. Andreyeff prophesied Russia would be torn asunder and the nation finally come to an end. He wrote sadly: "In an evil hour our Russian liberty was born. A youthful bride decked with white flowers may she not perish on the way to the wedding feast!" Great Novelist. The name of this Russian author has been given several endings in English translation at different times. At first it was Leonid Andrev, then Andreieff and Andreyev, and now Andreyeff. For the last twenty years Andreyeff had been producing works of strength and individual flavor. Since the death of Tolstoy he had been considered by some critics to stand at the head of living Russia novelists, equalled only by Maxlme Gorky. As a dramatist, Andreyeff. easily stood at the top among the modern writers of his country. Owing to his weird, fatalistic, satiric, tragic qualities, all showing through an atmosphere of gloom in some cases, he had come to be known by the terms,"A Novelist of Nerves." "The Apostle of the Terrible," and "The Russian Poe." He was born in Oryol, and according to his own story while at St. Petersburg university, he went hungry the first year, as his father, an engineer, had died back home, and the student was in dire need. He said that in 1894 he made an attempt to kill himself by shooting, and as a result of his unsuccessful attempt at suicide, the authorities forced him into religious penitence, and his worry brought on heart trouble, though not of a serious nature. He wrote some stories but they were rejected by the editors. Then he spent his spare time at painting and made portraits to order at 3 and 5 rubles apiece. , Fame as Playwright. In 1897 he received hia diploma, and became an assistant attorney, but at the outset of his law career, he was offered and accepted a position as court reporter on a daily newspaper. For the Easter number in 1898, he published his first story and since then has devoted himself assiduously to literature. Maxlme Gorkey, his friend, gave him advice and suggestions. He became a recognized master of short story writing. Entering the field of dramatic literature, Andreyeff later stood as the greatest dramatist in Russia, winning that distinction by such productions as "The Black Maskers," "The Life of Man," "The Sabine Women." and finally, in 1915, "The Sorrows of Belgium," the last named, however, not reaching the same high standing as the others. Andreyeff gained his great popu larity in Russia because he was representative of the moody emotional i changes, the shattered nerves and the spiritual cravings of the young gen eration in those years of the reign of Czar Nicholas, when a student bf independent thought would be summarily arrested and sent to the frozen regions of Siberia to work in the mines the remainder of his life. Andreyeff and seventeen writers were arrested one night at his home but later released. .His sketch, "The Friend." Is an ef-

Poe, Died fective bit of impressionism, and one can not read it without ever after being kind to neglected animals. It pictures Vladimir, the typical young nussian a promising young writer. wrapped up in his work, and safely past the period of gay carousing. At night he returns to his room and Vasyuk, a little black haired dog, who adores his master. "My friend, my only friend," are words often on Vladimir's lips, but at length he comes to love Natalia, and Vasyuk gets his favorite dish, of liver less frequently. One day the dog Is taken ill, but in his haste to visit Natalia, Vladimir does not take Vasyuk to the veterinarian. By and by it is too late and Vasyuk dies. In months to come Vladimir fails to make good in his writings, despite his early literary promise, and, as the pulsing sentences of the story run " then, like the cover of a coffin, heavy, dead oblivion fell upon him. The woman had also forsaken him; she, too, considered herself deceived. . The fumy,. vaporous nights vw en t by. also the merciless punishing white days, and often, more often than before . . .he lay in his bed . . . and whispered, "My friend, my only friend!" And his quivering hand fell faintly upon the empty place." New View of Judas "Judas Iscariot and the Others" is a short novel notable for its unique motiff Judas is not being inspired to betray Jesus by mercenary motives but In order to force the master to manifest his power and demonstrate his divinity. Thus is Judas made a high minded patriot instead of a contemptible bribetaker. "The Seven Who Were Hanged" is Andreyeffs most distinguished novel. Whatever one's views on capital punishment for crime may be, the author draws a poignant picture, fearful, depressing, relentless, but deeply imbued with a tremendous ap peal to pity. A short story marked by pathetic simplicity, wmcn is held Dy. some critics to stand at the forefront of all literature in that respect, is a child's tale. "Pyetka at the Bungalow," and another for children is "The Little Angel." They grip the heart by the wonderful keenness of their sympathy witn childish sufferings. Some of Andreyeffs plays have been produced on the English stage, and some of his plays and stories and novels have been published in this country. Farm Federation Has 850 Members; Drive Keeps On Over 100 new members have been added to the Wayne county branchh of the state farmers' federation in the last 10 days, said Theodore Davis, of Greensfork, president, Wednesday. An even more intensive drive for members will be started in the next few days, said Davis, and will continue until practically every farmer in the county is a member. The federation has about 850 members now, he said. He, with E. F. Murphy, of Richmond, secretary, will attend two meetings in Muncie Friday. One will be a special meeting on live stock questions, and the other will be composed of county chairmen to elect a new district head. More WoeJ Soft Drink Prices Moving Upward Prohibition has caused another blight upon the life of the "drinker". Makers of carbonated water have advanced the price of their product. - Sodas now cost 15c. Plain sundaes are still selling for 10c but nut sundaes cost 15c. Special "dopes" have made an average advance of five cents in 3 months. Soft drinks still sell for 5c plus lc war tax, but local dealers say the com ing spring will see a 10 c charge. High cost of sugar, transportation and labor, and under production, are given as reasons for the advance. WHIHC Refreshing and UeaUnf Leltee Munneiornecf n CtmnMa flrann.

Arrangements have been made in Great Britain for the establishment of mills for the production of potato flour, which it is hoped will be on a large scale.

The present estimate is that here are now over 2,000 there. The British Ministry of Foods has for some time been conducting experi ments in potato flour, as there has been an over-production of potatoes, and the flour will provide a means for the consumption of the over-supply.
