Jan. IS. (Special.) The druggie between soviet Russia and "the capitalist world"' has ended in a draw, but unless the soviet gov . trnmcnt can restore the economic life of Knssia. its failure Is Inevitable and a return to the old scheme of things In It Usui a likewise certain -Nikolai Lcnino- told the conference . of the communist party of the prov ince of Moscow, held recently in the . red capital. A full text of Lentne's speech has reached this city in copies of the 1 ravda. official organ -of the bol shevik party. . - . . Lcnine's address was delivered by y of a report on the domestic and interiiutional situation of the soviet . government, aud was, in part, a reply to the extremist elements in the bol- 1 tthevik party and government- who are assailing him for his policy off gianting concessions for the exploi tation of Russian resources to for eign capitalists. According to the information , reacuinfr here more than 60 dele gates, headed by Bucharin, editor of irikd.i. hurled questions at Lenine rfemandingr explanations for h i s -newly inaugurated policy of dealing: with '"bourgeois I governments and capitalists." . ' Americana "Savage Jackals.' Defending the concessions "granted recently bf the soviet government to A f mil n f Amortrnn f inn nriprs. I Lenine referred to the latter as a ivujj ui Ainei ictin ciipiiaiiai jdun&iB i of the most savage kind," but none tiie less he pleaded for approval of tneve concessions as a necessary means of saving the soviet govern- ment. The only group of American financiers who' have received any concessions from the soviet govern , ment is that headed by Washington I, Vanderlip of Los Angeles, who recently returned from Russia. "To defeat capitalism in general." . eaid Lenine in part, "it is necessary. first, to defeat the exploiters and defend "the rights of the exploited and, recondly, to establish new eco nomic relations. If we fall to solve this problem we will find that no victories in the cause of smashing the'exp!oiters. In the cause of the defeat of international capitalism, , will lead to anything tangible and that a return to -the old' scheme of things will be' Inevitable." ileferring to "the opposition within our party" to the granting of con cessions to foreign capitalists, Lenine reiterated his - position that soviet Knssia came out victorious in the truss'a with foreign intervention not because '.'we proved ourselves stronger In a military sense but be cause of the process of domestic dis solution in the countries of the entente" and the divergence of their respective, interests. Lenine Plots Allied Discord. One of the objects of soviet foreign policy. sald: the bolshevik premier. Is to sow still greater discord be- tcn France and , England and among the allies in general than that which, ' to his mind, already CXthtS. i T:hls discord has increased con siderably," aaid Lenine, "especially as "a result of the project for the . conclusion of a trade agreement with a group of American capitalist jackals of the most savage kind headed - by a multimillionaire who plans to round up about him a group of other millionaires. Lenine ' regarded the Vanderlip concessions, to which he referred in the latter passage, as capable of lousing discord between the United States on one side and France and I reland on the other. Apparently he ceeined to be of the opinion that Vanderlip represented American cap ital ir. general, which, in turn, would b& in a position to force the govern ment at Washington to enter into trade relations with Russia and even recognire the soviet government. ' Lenine prided himself on the fact th.it the soviet government had fin ally obtained "a . foothold" . in, the ' international policies of the respec tive countries. "Up until iow," he said, "we had - no foothold in the international sit uation. We have now obtained this foothold and the cause of it is in the attitude of the smaller nations. - who are entirely dependent upon the great powers, both in a military and economic sense. .These small coun tries are now eager for peace with us" j World Revolution Is Design. But while seeking peace with the governments of the bourgeois coun- v tries, Lenine emphasized, the bol- - slievik government must not give up its vim. of world revolution, for in the ' latter.- he said, lies the ultimate calvation and justification of the soviet experiments .,'.. , "We have always maintained," said Lenine. "that our victory cannot be eecure if" a proletarian revolution in the west does not come to our assistance. Our revo'utlon must be regarded solely from the . Interna tiona! viewpoint. In order to win we must achieve a proletarian world revolution or a revolution in at least the most Important capitalist coun tries. Our calculations in this re spect for the past three years have not materialized. In so far as there has been no attainment of this ob- JecL- Neither side lias either won cr loot. Neither the soviet govern ment nor the rest of the capitalist world has won. The most important thing before us is to preserve the existence of the proletarian power of the soviet government despite the absence of a socialist revolution in the lest of the world." To accomplish this object, Lenine concluded, the soviet government should be willing to grant compro mises and concessions untU such time when the world revolution breaks loose. the car, and apparently stumbled on f the parking strtp.

' CORK. Ireland, Jan. 20. The first official destruction tor attacks on crown forces in Cork city since mar tial law was enforced in this area was carried out today, when two houses in Washington street, where two members of the royal Irish con stabulary were attacked Saturday last, were destroyed by military forces. The military authorities assert crown forces were fired upon sepa rately from six houses in Washington street and that "the two worst" were selected for destruction. A large force of military arrived at 11 o'clock and drew a cordon around several blocks, and no one was permitted " to enter or leave. Dwyer's wholesale drapery was searched. The work of blowing up the designated houses was gone about carefully to prevent damage to ad Joining property. Revolvers Turned on Crowd. The houses selected for reprisals are said to have been occupied by well-known Sinn Fein sympathizers who were given warnings to clear out and then military engineers pre pared for the demolition. Meanwhile officers with drawn revolvers order ed the large crowd that had gathered to disperse, saying that otherwise it would be fired on. " At 1:49 10 loud explosions followed at intervals of several minutes, caus ing consternation. Up to 3 o'clock, however, no fires had broken out, and no visible damage had been done to houses outside the zone. The raid continued until 5 P. St., I wljen the troops were withdrawn. It was then found that two three-story houses had been demolished, only the walls remaining standing, and that a provision shop adjacent had almost bten wrecked by the force of the ex plosions Scores of windows In other buildings were shattered. A proclamation was issued by the military authorities today announc ing that the curfew on Saturday and Sunday would begin hereafter at 6 f. M. A majority of the. ambushes and other disorders here have .occurred isaturaay nignts. The proclamation causes surprise as, although such employment of hostages has been in operation in the martial law areas of south Ireland eirce early in Dccembor, martial law has not been declared in Dublin. The authorities assert that the practice of carrying hostages has proved effi cacious In the martial law areas, no attack having been made in any case where a hostage was carried. Bomb-Proof Cars Used. Bomb-prool cars are employed by the military here. In the first formal interview given to the press since he came to Ireland. Major-General Strickland, in com mand of the troops, told the Associat ed Press today, that martial law was proving a success. He discussed the reprisals and his .etter to the acting lord mayor explaining that he ex pected aid from the citizens through a vigilance committee to supply in formation. He did not allude to his report on the burning of Cork. Among statements made by the general, was one that women carried weapons concealed in their skirts to the ambushing forces. He declared he did not expect Immediate results from martial law, but even before it was imposed the murder gang was finding it impossible to live at-home and had begun to form flying col umns in the Macroom district and parts of Tipperary and Kilkenny. "The first result of martial law was to make these columns more ac tive," he said. "The definite thjng we are accomplishing is the breaking of the organisation of the republican army. Until martial law was de clared that organization was remark ably efficient. Dying Kick Republic's Fight. "It might be taken as too optimist to say that the present operations of the republic are Its dying kick, but I believe that to be a fact. How long they can keep going is a matter of conjecture. But it is only a question of time." In reply to a question as to what results had been obtained by the pro clamations demanding the surrender of arms, the general admitted it prob- nhlv wan trilA that thA nnrnh.. nt arms personally surrendered could be J counted on thd fingers of one hand, but added: "In one way or another arms are coming in." The general spoke bitterly of the part the alleged women were taking. The military are not' making war on women or interfering with them." he said, "so, the difficulty of getting the arms in the possession of the women may be imagined." Concerning the suggestion that the people of Cork form a vigilance com mittee, the general eajd: 'Sixteen months ago when I first ame to Ireland, county Clare was a hotbed of republican activities." General Strickland condemned in discriminate reprisals, but held that official reprisals not only were jus tified but necessary.

Grambs, manage of the Puget Sound Power & Light company, who in 1917-1918 organized for the government the officers training schools throughout the northwest and the training sta tion at West Seattle for the train ing of cj-ews, stated in a communi cation received by the chamber of commerce that at the present time 36 per cent of the crews of Ameri can ships sailing from this port are aliens, and 15 per cent of the off! cers are not American born. He urged indorsement of the memorial to have congress provide funds to maintain the training ser vice of the shipping board. He wrote in part: "To appreciate the situation, one must know the conditions existing on our ships at the time the training service was instituted. Only 10 per cent of the seamen sailing on American ships were American born, and only 30 per cent were naturalized citizens. Ninety per cent of the officers were of foreign birth. "During the two and one half years of Its existence, the recruiting service at Seattle has reduced the percentage of alien seamen to 36 per cent and of foreign officers to 75 per cent. In spite of this, it is still the experience of graduates of the training station who are placed on board our ships that they are perse cuted by the alien seamen and by the seamen of foreign birth who have been naturalized, and by the foreign-born officers. Every effort is made to drive these American boys from the sea." Victim Hit With Bottle. As he entered his'room at the Over land hotel.
