Pahis, March 17. -The Allies nro pre
paring n noto In reply to the American
communication regarding Hussln, wherein
they will Bay that they will be glad to
give consideration to the American views
on the subject, but will suggest that the
dnto of March 20 for the conference on
Russia, as was Bturacstcd In tho Ameri
can note, !a too early. Apparently the
allied desire behind this Is to nwnlt the
outcome of tho visit of the Soviet com
mittee to England In connection with tho
proposed cooperative trading scheme nml
some private Investigations now going on
before holding tho conference which
President Wilson wants.
The American note has made a good
Improsnlon here, because President
Wllson'a position against resuming dip
lomatic relation with the Soviet Gov
ernment Is In thorough accord with the
French view, whereas In French For
eign Office circles tho belief seems per
sistent that Premier Lloyd George Is
planning some kind of diplomatic recog
nition of the Soviet. This Is one reason
why the French are showing Increasing
coldness toward the League of Nations'
Investigation commission, whereof i.oth
Ing has been heard since last Satur
day's mooting. Tho scheme now seems
to be nveetlng with ronie difficulties, like
other allied projects.
The French have Just begu-i their
first negotiations with tho Bolshcvlkl,
but this merely concerns prisoners. Ite
gardlng Hussion trade, tho French Fay
that they have nothing to sell to Kussla
and eirpect to buy very little of her.
Their ntUtude Is In strong contrast
with that of the British and Itnllans
and to Homo extent the Americans.

Moscow, Marcb 11. The approaching
visit of the Commission of tho League

little Interest and discussion here. Rus

Kamaneff. president of tho Moscow
Soviet, discussing tho League of Nations,
said to-day:
'The league has capitulated. It has
lost Its original significance. It con
tains no vital principles applicable to the
new organization of society, and It Is
created In tho interest of the old Im
perialism." Referring to the projected visit of the
League Commission, Kameneft had this
to say :
"We attach no particular Importance
to the matter. The bona fide commis

"Our visitors should not forget that

Jresldent ICamcneff expressed the
opinion that no resumption of trade in

Tho majority of Intelligent opinion In

The attitude of tho United States to

Tho population, In fact, showed little

except In one section of Htamboul, as
the commanders of the allied troops
brought their forces ashore.
These forces Included 4,000 bluejackets
and marines from the British warships,
nnd contingents from the forces of all
tho Allies represented here. Indian de

rosters were among the troops taking
part In the operation.
Comprehensive military nnd naval

BERGDOLL'S TRIAL
CLOSES ABRUPTLY
Procedure nt End Indicates
Alleged Draft Evader Is
Not Acquitted.
Grover Cleveland Bcrgdoll'n trial for
desertion from tho United States Army
came to an abrupt end last night, after
tho prisoner had caused n Bcnsatlon by
putting In no defence for himself. Hi
merely requested permission to ivad n
statement lie had prepared. Tlds i-.ot
forth that he had been frightened away.
Ho said lie had been working on u
monoplane before tho draft law be
cume effective or ho would havo volun
teered for military duty.
No Indication was given by tho court
whether n conviction had been found,
but bec.iuso of tho character of tho pro
ceedings at tho close a procedure fol
lowed when enlisted men are convicted,
as was explained by Capl. Bruce It.
Campbell, of counsel for the dtifence
the general Impression around Gov
ernors Islajid was that Bcrgdoll so tar
had not been acquitted.,
Tho official announcement of the find
ings will be published after tho case has
been reviewed uy Lieut. -Gen. Kobert Leo
Bullard, commander of tho Department
of the East, or sdine one to whom he may
delegate the reviewing authority. Bcrg
doll has the right of a final appeal to tho
President.
As Foon ns the court opened Bergdoll's
counsel declared no defence would be en
tered, because the defence believed the
Government had failed In Us case. The
counsel asked 'he court to state the limit
of punishment in tho event that the ac
cused pleaded guilty. This the court re
fused. Then Licut.-Col. Charles C. Crcs
son, trial Judgo advocate, demanded a
thirty year term for the accused, assert
ing that Bcrgdoll wus subject to war
time regulation!
Col. Crcsson went over all the case to
show that Bergdoll had been legally and
technically Inducted Into the army and
that the evidence boro out the charge
that he was a wilful deserter. Counsel
for the defence. In summing up, Btuck to
his chief contention that Bcrgdoll was
never Inducted Into the army and should
be discharged.
After the summing up, the Court took
tho case under consideration. Twenty
minutes later Bergdoll was called into
the courtroom. Then was read to him
the heading on the charge sheet, which
embraced his na'me, draft serial number
and the statement that lie had had
no previous military conviction. He did
not question this. TlUs procedure, It was
said, was the same as In the cases when
enlisted men are convicted.
