They set forth at length a strong Indictment against the outrageous proceedings and practices which the Germans have Indulged so riotously against people completely at their mercy. The statement follows: Council Statement. "The prime ministers and foreign members of the entente, assembled in London, believe it their duty to take note of tha political crimes which, under stlie name of a German peace, have been committed against the Russian people. Russia Is un armed. Forgetting that for four years Germany has been fighting against the indpendence of nations, the Russian government, In a mood of singular credulity, expected to ob tain by persuasion that democratic peace which it had failed to obtain by war. Peace Terms Implicative. "The results were that the inter mediate armlstlcs had not expired before the German command trans ferred Us troops eh masse to tho western front, and so weak did Rus sia find herself that she dared to raise no protest against this viola tion of Germany's plighted word. What followed was of like character, when the German peace was transla ted Into action. It was found to In volve the invasion of Russian terri tory, In the capture of all Russia's means of defense, and the organiza tion of Russian lands for Germany's profit. A proceeding which did not differ from annexation, because the word Itself was carefully avoided. Sign Treaty Mindly. "Meanwhile those very Russians who had made military operations Impossible found diplomacy impotent. Their representatives were forced to proclaim that while they refused to read the treaty, they had no choice but to Blgn it; so they signed it, not knowing whether in Its true signifi cance It meant peace or far, nor measuring the degree to which Rus sian national life was reduced by it to a shadow. "What is true of Russia and of Poland is no less true of Rumania, overwhelmed in a flood of passion. Refuse Recognition. "Peace Is loudly advertised, but tinder the disguise of verbal profes alons lurk the brutal realities of war end the untempered rule of a lawless force. "Peace treaties such as these we do not and can not acknowledge. Our own ends are very different. We are fighting and mean to continue fighting In order to finish once for all with this policy of plunder and to establish In Its place the peaceful Telgn of organised Justice. Fight to End. "As Incidents of this long war. un roll themselves before our eyes, more and more clearly do we perceive that the battles for freedom are every where Interdependnt; that no sep arate enumeration of them is needed and that in every case the single but JORDAN'S ELECTRIC SHOP Look for the Brand The Willard brand is more than a name.

Following nte death, other scientists jere drafted to take up the work where the dead man had stopped. One professor not only refused to become a party to such a scheme, but exposed those who had attempted to commission him to commit such a crime against humanity. The mili tary authorities first tried to Induoe him into silence by peaceful methods, but after discovering that the noted scientist could not be so easily quiet ed, Imprisoned him for failure to serve the state In civilian capacity.
