' Later alleged fresh evidence on which
Humbert was charged with communi?
cation with the enemy was discovered.
Proceeding? were begun last March

was placed in importance to tho jrov

The money was declared to have come

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 8.?Victor L
: Berger, Socialist leader convicted un?
der the espionage act, in an open letter
1 addressed to his "colleagues, in Con
] gress" has asked to be permitted to
? take his seat as a member of the
? House from the 5th Wisconsin District
j when Congress meets on May 19.
The Berger appeal was not well re- ?
ceived in House circles to-day, where I
both Republican and Democratic lead
i ers predicted the right of the Socialist
! leader to a seat would be challenged
on the opening day of the session and
the matter referred to a committee for
action.
Speaker-elect Gillett, of Massachu?
setts, said to-day:
"Arrangements have boon made to
challenge Berger's right to a seat, and
the flatter will be referred to a com?
mittee. He will not be permitted to
take the oath and will be kept out of

The Ebb of Bolshevism
By Frank H. Simonds
P.ARIS, May 5.?The occupation of
Budapest by Rumanian troops proba?
bly will constitute one of the decisive
chapters in the history of Bolshevism.
Al the moment, when Rumanian
troops have entered the Hungarian
capital and put an end absolutely to
Hungarian Bolshevism, Pt.lish troops
have taken Grodno and Vilna.
The fall of Bolshevism in Hungary
at one time foreshadowed similar col?
lapse in Russia and deprived the Ger?
mans of one of their best blackmail?
ing arguments in the conference of
Paris. For many months the Ge3-mans
have threatened to surrender their
country to Bolshevism if the Allies
did not give them a soft peace, and
it is possible now to sa. with absolute
frankness that these threats profound?
ly impressed the Allied statesmen and,
for the time being, greatly weakened
the ?Allied resolution.
Hoped ?Allies
Would Alter Terms
But now we have a cleat example.
Hungary turned Itself over to Bol?
shevism when it discovered that the
Allied terms of peace included the
transfer from Hungary to Rumania,
?Tugo - Slavia and Czecho - Slovakia of
those territories inhabited by people
belonging to races to which they were
to be assigned. A dramatic appeal to
L?nine and Trotzky accompanied the
man?uvre. What Hungary obviously
hoped and expected was ?hat in the
presence of this new menace of Bol?
shevism the Western powers would
change their terms.
instead, after long hesitations and
weak experiments, the Allies at last
took the sound course and permitted
the Rumanian and Serbian armies to
advance into Hungary as representa?
tives of the Western Allies. After the
briefest of all conceivable campaigns
the Red army of Hungary fled the
field and the ?whole Bolshevist struct?
ure collapsed. Hungard has now
agreed to accept all the terms fixed by
the Paris conference, and under the su?
pervision of the armies of occupation
to purge herself of Bolshevist ele
3nents.
Thus the breach in the famous cordon
between Russian Bolshevism and Ger?
man ?Middle Europe has been closed.
Russian Bolshevism is again isolated
and is manifestly on its last legs.
During the recent weeks we have
had in Paris a frank effort on the part
of well-intentioned Americans and Brit?
ish humanitarians, possible victims of
less well-intentioned intrigue, to carry
food to Russia. So far, this effort
has failed. If failure remains constant
it is possible to hope that Russian
Bolshevism will fall of its own weight.
solely due to starvation which it has
produced and become the victim of the
sin which it enghiecred.
Must L.ook to
Outside for Aid
The single hone, so far as one can
now see. for Russian Bolshevism lies in
the possibility of interference from
outside, which will provide food and
(bus abolish that, salutary if terrible
lesson which is being taught as to th.
meaning of anarchy and the conse?
quences of terror.
Looking to the German situation, it
is plain that with Bolshevism crushed
in Hungary and falling into ruin in
Russia it will be less easy for Ger?
many to insist upon modification of
the terms of peace and reinforce her
insistence with a threat of surrender
to Bolshevism. This is what Hungary
did, and probably under German in?
spiration. The device was momentarily
successful and created a panic in Paris.
It led to very regrettable concessions
in the matter of Poland, and it is now
clear that the whole scheme has failed
and been exploded.
Unless ail signs fail, we are on the
edge of very great changes in Russia.
Those who come to Paris from Petro?
grad and Moscow ?report that in an ef?
fort to anticipate the chance L?nine
and Trotzky have already laid aside a
large portion of their mad project, and
are in fact making a desperate effort
to enlist precisely the same elements
that they were murdering and destroy?
ing six months ago. So far they seem
to have failed.

food exists in many regions starvation
IS prevalent in even more.
It is still conceivable that the influ?
ence of Americans and British will
avail to save Trotzky and Leninc and
continue in Russia a regime which has
produced the ruin which now exists.
If Trotzky and L?nine can even now
get possession of large supplie; of
food, if they can achieve a semblance
of recognition by the Western powers
they might escape from the conse
ouences of their course, but if the les?
son of Hungary is appreciated in the
West I think it is the common judg?
ment of all thoughtful men here that
the end of Bolshevism in Russia is
within sight.
Only another Prinkipo experiment,
only another Smuts mission, might de?
lay the deliverance of the Russian peo?
ple from the death which has over?
hung them for two years.

{ Haller's Army in Poland
Message From Foeh Indicates
Troops Have Reached Home
BERNE, May 7.?Marstial Foch, a
dispatch from Warsaw says, has sent
'he following message to General Hal
ler, the comtuander of the Polish
troops in France during the war:
"To-morrow an army created under
the protection of the French flag will
join on the liberated Polish territory
the Polish army that has been for a
long time lighting for right, liberty
I and civilization. I am convinced that
the gallant soldiers now united under
the White Eagle flag will soon write
in golden letters a new page of the
history of noble Poland. My best
wishes accompany you "
The message of Marshal Foch to
General Haller would ind?nate that the
transportation of the Polish divisions
from France to Poland through Ger?
many has been completed or is about
to be completed.
Back Up the Monroe
Doctrine, Says Thornton
British Rail Manager Declares
America Must Accept Its
Responsibilities
The Monroe Doctrine will be respec?
ted by England and Europe gen?
erally so long as the United States
shows a disposition to accept the re?
sponsibilities that go with it.
This is the gist of the opinion ex
j pressed yesterdayby Sir Henry Thorn?
ton, general manager of the Great
! Eastern Railway of England, formerly
j of the Long Island Railroad. The for?
mer American railroad m:.n was knight
| ed because of his services as transpor
! tatiori expert during the war in Eng
? land.
"If Europe accepts the Monroe Doc?
trine, it is only reasonable for the
i European governments to expect the
; United States to accept the responsi?
bilities that go with it, as well as that
[ the United States reciprocate by not
j interesting itself too deeply in ques
I tions that are exclusively European,"
said Sir Henry. "Great Britain, foi
instance, would hardly dare make a
suggestion about such a question as
what the United States would do aboul
its negro population, or the problem;
involved in the coming of yellow races
! to its western shores. That is just
?the attitude taken abroad concerning
? the attitude of America on the Monroe
; Doctrine. It is a case of reciprocity.
"As for the freedom of the seas,
haven't been o.uite able to understanc
? the meaning of that expression myself
There seems to be an idea over hen
I that the British navy was some sort o
i a mysterious agency by which Grea
! Britain managed to throttle undesir
? able competition on the seas. If tha
is the impression, then I think that
I may deny that anything of the sor
j has been the case. The rapid growt!
I of the German mercantile marine i
such as to prove beyond a doubt tha
I Great Britain did not use her navy t?
prevent a competitor from going t?
every corner of the earth."
