. Is Not After Alms But Only
Payment for Damage Done
BRUSSELS, May 6 (By The Asso-;
ciated Press). The Belgian govern
\ ment has decided to sign the treaty of
peace, which was discussed at a crown
? incil held here last night, it is un
, nounced.
The council met at the palace at ?
e,'clock and continu?e! in session until -
, midnight. Paul Hymans, Minister of
Foreign Affairs and head of the Bel?
gian delegation at tho peace confer?
ence, speaking for himself and for his
colleagues, Emile Vandervelde and M.
! Vandenheuvel, who remained in Paris,
gave a review of the peace terms and
expressed the opinion the treaty gave
honorable and satisfactory terms to ;
Belgium and recommended it be signed.
Trie council unanimously indorsed
M. Hymans's view, but was equally
unanimous in expressing the opinion
that the attention of the powers should
be drawn to the financial and economic
situation in Belgium and to the ne?
cessity that the Allies assure Belgium
' of completo support looking to her eco- ;
! nomic restoration.
The council was further of the
opinion that, the Allies should be asked
to support the initiation of negotia?
tions with Holland regarding the set?
tlement of tho question of the freedom
; tf the Scheldt and tho waterways of
i east Belgium.
Burgomaster Max told delegates of j
: patriotic societies yesterday that Bel?
gium had been painfully surprised by,
: tho fact that she had not been granted ,
the "moral reparation" she liad ex
| pected in the choice of Brussels as tho !
I headquarters of the league of nations.
! He saiel lielgium did not hold out her
: hand for alms, but asked just payment;
for the damages she had suffered. Ile j
feared, however, that the work of the j
) peace conference would prove that in ?
the settlement of international rola- j
tions, justice had not absolutely con- !
quered the idea of empire.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand, May
.'..- -Sir J. Allen, the acting
Premier, in a statement as quoted by
Router's correspondent, declared
that he viewed developments In the

difficult, he said, to discover why
Japan wanted the Marshall Islands,
unless she wished to dominate the
Pacific.
It. wan impossible to indicate New

acting Premier, until Admiral Jelli

The appeal states that America can?
not refuse such a request in the name
of humanity, and that by becoming
mandatory sho will act as a reconcil?

Under the Beeret treaty of London,

tivity, related that groups or her fel?
low prisoners were, taken before an in?
quiry commission at Intervals, and
from each group about one-third the
number were condemned to death
among them a priest, local government
officials and land owners. Prisoner?
were sent to the cemetery to dig
graves for those who were executed
This woman, whose name is Varvara
Andreyeff, was released through the ef?
forts of the local teachers' organiza?
tion.
The Bolshevik courts are a travesty.
The judges are strongly partican and
subject to recall by the inquiry com?
mission. Persons accused of crime are
permitted counsel only from a group
of official attorneys appointed by the
same commission.
This commission has the power tc
condemn to death without reference
to the roui't. Thirty or moro persons
wore condemned in this way in Ufa
alone. Offences punishable by death
include drunkenness, dealing illegally
in liquor and, in some cases, prostitu?
tion.
Tl e i.urried flight from Ufa of the
Bolshevik forces necessitated the leav?
ing of the bodies of ten of their vic?
times it. th.- courtyard of the commis?
sion! : ' headquarters. The victims m
cluded a teacher in a French school.
Ufa has enjoyed some measure of im?
munity because it has representation m

women were shot for expressing satis

ARCHANGEL, May 5 (By The Asso?
ciated Press).?The Bolshevik flotilla
on the Dvina again attacked the Allied
positions near the junction with tho
Vaga Friday, but were driven off by
the guns of the Allied land batteries,
which outranged the weapons of the
enemy.
After their repulse Thursday the
Bolsheviki yesterday made two futile
attempts to approach the position held
by the American, British and Russian
troops.
A report, to headquarters to-day rah!
that the situation ... r.g the Dvina was
"quiet."
The feeling in Archangel is that the
crisis on tho Dvina River front has
passed. The Bolsheviki, it i? believi 1,
delayed too long in grasping tho ad?
vantage offered when the Dvina became
open for navigation.
Additional reports on Thur day's de?
feat of tho Bolsheviki attack al Berez
nik. on the Vaga sector, show that the
Alhoa captured thirty-four prisoner
and killed seventy of the enemy. The
Allied casualties were four wounded.
The Bolsheviki also lost one machine,
gun and fifty rifles. Artillery (ii
continu?e! on the Vaga sector Friday.
The? enemy artillery fire on the Dvina
front has been without result .-is far
as casualties are concerned, none- hav
ing been reported. There? was slighl
artillery activity Friday on tho Vologda
railway front.
Mud and slush have succeeded the
deep snow? on the fighting fronts and
the period of nineteen hours of day?
light has replaced the winter darl i
Allied forces succeeded Thursday in
repulsing the first attack by Bolshevik
gunboats on the Dvina. The enemy
fleet attempted to approach tho posi?
tions helel by American, British and
Russian forces on the right hank of the
river, but failed, the Allies having
guns mounted which cover??! all paris
of the channel.
Another enemy force which attempted
to cut tho Allied line of communica?
tions east of the Vaga also was re?
pulsed. Twenty of this party stir

Allies.

Protests Against Criticisms
"I must strongly protest against this
suggestion. My elecisions have always
been based on careful consideration.
Certainly I have taken great risks, but
in a war, which Germany and her allies
were forced to wage against a strong
i preponderance of force, it was, un
| fortunately, impossible to do other
: wise. It lay in the nature of this war
and is not sufficient to place a man ir
j the pillory.
"In confirmation of your view youi
! excellency stated that there was docu
, mentary evidence that actually, on Oc?
tober 1, 1018, I declared: 'I seem to b?
a gambler.' To that I must reply. 1
explained at tho timo, to a repr ? ei ta
rive of the government our militarj
situation, which caused me to request
the administration to initiate negotia
? on for an armistice and peace. Ir
I this connection I said: 'I should appeal
to be a gambler if I did not press fo:
an ending of the war.' I may ever
liave said: '1 appear to be a gambler
for that reason I urge the con i
ment of negoi iat ions.'
"In any case, the clear meaning ot
my words always was: 'I do lie
. to be a gambler, or place eve rytl
on one en rd ; my ? ii w s as a s
*oo serious for tl it.'
