TESTIMONY OF WILLIAM de (Continued From Page One.) se chairman, that these opinions were ed not enthusiastic. ye Then, from a memorandum of the la conversation, dictated, he said, while hi it was fresh in his mind, Bullit th quoted the secretary on many points, n0 saying that Mr. Lansing opposed the M award of Shantung to Japan, that fr he considered the league thoroughly jo had, that the large nations would A pay little attention to the small na- N. tions, and that the world had been I arranged according to the desires of th the big nations at the peace confer- mi ence. The most sensational statement at tributed by the witness to the secre tary of state was that, if the senate w andi the American people know what th the treaty meant, it would be de- of feated. P; Senator Knox really would under- St stand the treaty, Mr. Lansing said, 1' according to the witness, and t"Mr. Lodge would, but Mr. Lodge's post- E Lion would become purely political." yr When news of Bullitt's testimony at spread about the capitol, it was ex- bl tensively discussed, and senators said in they were anxious to hear from Mr. Ji Lansing, When some .of them en- al deavored to reach him at the state di department, they found lie was out of of town, and an Associated Press dis- at patch later from Watertown. N. Y., 11 said he declined to make any state- 1_ ment and had gone fishing. w Bullitt, formerly a newspaper cor- o0 respondent, went to Paris with Pres- tl ident Wilson's party and was at- P tached to the mission. He .was sum- us moned to testify before the treaty I] was reported out by committee, but fi was in the Maine woods on a camp- p ing trip and the notice did not reach d him until a few days ago. This was explained by Chairman Lodge to w show why the hearing apparently n had been re-opened. o A wealth of information, regarded c, as more or less confidenttial, was I given by the witness during his t, three-hour statement. In February l/ last he was sent by Secretary Lans- .1 ing to Petrograd to bring back from tl the soviet leaders a statement show- k ing the exact terms on which they C would agree to peace. This report.. - which told, among other things, of s "good order" established by the bol- A shleviki. Lenine's desire for peace, o his readiness to compromise at many a points in order to obtain it, and his o promise that all foreign debts of the i soviet government would be paid.l never was made public. Bullitt said, I because the presldept would not F agree. Lloyd George wanted it c printed, he said, yet later the pre- j mier denied all knowledge of it when questioned in parliament.

Sept, 13 is the interesting date alike to students of social economy, of the labor question, and of rulers of mankind. On Sept. 13. 1919. the celebrated Mahmudiyeh canal in Egypt, connecting Alexandria withl the Nile, was completed: and com-i pleted by laborers who reroived ex actly 17 cents a day during the entire span of their toil. Seven thousand. laborers died of contagious diseases during the digging of the canal. We suspect that it was tfrom inalnutri tion, wretched housing and merciless exposure to the sun of Elypt. The vast undertaking-- the Mah nmudiyeh canal-was carried through by Mohammed Ali. pasha and ruler of Egypt, under the superintendance! of six European engineers. One hun dred thousand laborers were engaged on the work. The Mahmudiyeh canal extends from below Soamo. on the Nile, to Pompey's Pillar in Alexan drid. It is 47 miles long. 90 feet wide, and 18 feet deep. Its banks are bright with picturesque resi dences of Cairene and Alexandrine n merchants. Its gandets afford a pleasure ground for the populace of n Alexandria. The canal is a lovely, eastern sight with the three-cornered lateen sails of vessels scudding before, the breeze, and the huge gyassas of the red sails, with fruit and freight and a few passengers hastoening up to Cairo. Mohammed All, the builder C of the canal, was an able but harsh 0 ruler of Egypt.' He arose fromt the ranks of police to he a captain in the a Egyptian army occupied with driving a the French from the soil of Egypt. From colonel to pasha was an easy step for this forceful man. On May; 3, 1805, he took possession of the a citadel of Cairo. He had allied him- t self with the Mamnelukes, and inflict- C ed two defeats upon the British. Here o a frightful blot stains his career. He invited the Mameluk beys to Cairo--- where they and their followers weret treacherously massacred in the cita- I del. I The decay of the once renownedI seaport of Alexandria was ably avert ed by the building of the Mahmudi yeh canal. Mohammed All had en larged the harbor of the city. But !I his chief trading gift to Egypt was tie construction of the canal. He named it after the reigning sultan. Mahmud II. Through this channel from Alexandria to Cairo the ad joining fields were irrigated. Again' Alexandria was connected with the Nile and the rest of Egypt whose', products had only found outlet s! through the Rosetta and )Damiettai mouths of the river. John Pirlntagenert. There have been just a few princes Pt who have thought of other things w han self-glorification, at the expense if the laborer's split veins. JohnSi Plantagenet was one of these. Today, tL Sept. 13, commemorates his death in gt 1435. de He was the brother of lHenry V. of et England--that merry prince in his youth who rioted with Falstaff, and e3 tround whose life, courtship and tr bluff valor Shakespeare wrote his cl immortal historical play, "Henry V." k' John Plantagenet, duke of Bedford it and regent .of France (for at that tl date England and France were at tl odds--woeful odds) was the most 11 accomplished prince in Europe. Ini 1809 a statue was erected to himi in 3i Russell square, London. The tourist B will recall that Russell square abuts C on the British museum. Fitting, d therefore, that the statue of John v Plantagenet should be under the "' nighty shadow of the arts and sci ences, for, in the early days of the fifteenth century, John Plantagenet purchased and transported to Lon don the royal library of Paris. lie called himself. be it observed, with modest pride,. "John Plantage- iI net." Pause and consider the value of the surname, Plantagenet. Of ex ceedingly humble and simple origin was this proud patronymic, applied to a dynasty of English kings from Henry II., 1154, to the accession of the house,of Tudor, 1485. Amoug the more illustrions Plantagenet kings were Henmy II., Richard I. Coeur de Lion,) John Lackland, and Henry V. The Plantagenets were de- I scended from Geoffrey of Anjou (the Angevins), a knight who had a habit of wearing in his helmet the plante- i a-genet, the humble broom, a plant of the fields. And it arose into royal l significance in the name Plantagenet. However diluted in its coming down 1 the centuries, in the veins of the Prince of Wales, heir to the English crown, eldest son of George V. and 0 now on a visit to Canada and the United States, runs the blood of the Plantagenets.

RUSSIANS COULD (Continued from Page Six.) he "moral" and other assistance ,hich Japan has rendered Kolchak. 'he world is too well aware of the ature of Japan's love for Russia. 'he proof of the love for the pudding , after all, the eating of it. The Czecho-Slovak and American olicies presented a decided contrast a those of the other a4lies. On Nov. 21. three days after Kol hak's coupl d'etat, the following res lution was passed by the Czecho-Slo ak national council, in order to put stop to conjectures respecting its ttitude toward current events, here iy declares: "That. the Czecho-Slovak army, A rhich is fighting for the ideals of lib nrty and the self-government of ha- T ions, cannot and will not co-operaL.e itr sympathize with a violent change tl vhich is perpetually opposed to such H deals. The change of the 18th of ýovemnber at Omsk has subverted the 9 cry foundation of that principle of aw and order which must be the be- ti ,inning of every government." b The reader will remember it was - )roposed, largely through the efforts 1 )f President Wilson, to invite repre sentatives of all the Russian political a actions, including the soviet repub- V ic of central Russia, to a conference it Prince's island. Kolchak took fright at this, and iddressed a message to his army, inl which he declared his uncomlpromis- 1 ing attitude--thhe Russian' people would not deign, he said, to treat k with infidels and outcasts-the mis- \ ,ion of the army was to rescue the - holy religion-to purge the land, etc. F Anyone acquainted with the language of the black hundred of imperial c Russia can easily imagine the rest. General (Graves thereupon ex- - pressed the opinion that if Siberia were to be adequately represented at Prince's island, those groups of the Siberian population who considered the Kolchak government illegally or ganized, must be allowed to send delegates as well as the Kolchalk gov ernment itself. The chief of the A. E. F. had his eyes open. fhe refused to allow hii troops to do any fighting for Kol chak, or even to hunt Holshevik, and. i kept the American soldiers constantly in the east of Siberia. Mloreover, he thought it was wrong to brand all the dissatisfied political elements asil Hoshevik. ected murders of real or alleged 3olshevik by Kolchak freebooters, leneral Graves sent American sol- j iers to intercede in behalf of the ictims. If execution (lid take place, e is at Habarovsk, it was in spite of j ntervention of American troops. p Unlder these circumstances it was - tot surprising that. Kolchak's press A gencies now began to speak of Pres lent Wilson as a drealner and a a, .topian. The fact is that Kolchak C lad ceased to look to America for i S upport in his autocratic ambitions. [ut he did not need it. IHe had tlhe tubstantial co-operation of England nd Japan, and even of democratic 'rance. I now asked a leading Zenlatvot of-, ricial what their course of action I would be if the demolition of repre- i tentative government in Siberia should proceed still further. "It cannot proceed further," was C the disheartened reply. "The pro sess is complete. Our press is mnuz- i (led. We are sure to be murdered if we speak aloud. Perhaps you can Lhink of something? You Americans ,ave plenty of leisure to think." I was a little discomfited by the last remark. "You refer, of course, to our policy I f non-interference," I replied. "But' I ron know perfectly well. that it is not our business to Interfere in your family quarrels." "No. Your business is simply to it and witness the interesting spec acle of an autocracy being fastened I 1)on Siberia. And how we welcomed 'our coming here! You remember?" 1 remembered-the enthusiasm for Anmericat and everything American- heir eagerness to imitate our ways' and methods-their dream of cou structing a United States of Russia, cast in the mold of the United States of America. "So you think we had better getio Out of here?" "W'1ell. the fact is," he said, "that left to themselves the Russian people I could cope with Kolchak very easily - indeed.
