J London, Farch . 28. Major vOen-
era! Sir Edward Woodward, K.C.
M.Ov on of the notable personal
'force in the world war, has
' launched a movement against Bol-
ahevlsfn and all other political and
social theories that contemplate sue-
tt cess through violence. He calls hla
s movement the British Legion and Its
proposed scope Is co-extenslve with
the British empire. In the main the
t principles of the British leg-ion are
identical with those of the American
I Legion. The latter indeed, General
f Woodward announces. Is his model.
"If democracy and Christian clvllls-
aton are to hold their own," said Qen-
era! Woodward, "constructive methods
i moat be devised for their defense. From
a hundred different directions these
f nrnarnln nAaactialnna nf mankind are
' menaced.
AWTI-f OCIAL BUST
"Bolshevism menaces them. , Direct
action or the political strike menaces
them. They are menaced by audacious
. minorities of many sorts minorities
bent more upbn their own purposes
than upon democratic fairness or Christ-
Ian morality. Without exception these
: V anti-democratic. anti-Christian minori
J ties are organized and active. They
f never cease to think, preach and plot,
biding- their time until they think it
C safe to fall upon peaceful defenseless
society.
J 1 em out to fight them. I am out to
organize the good cdtiieqshlp of the
British empire for the preservation of
1 11 political and religious heritage If
- public opinion can be aroused to the
Imminence of the danger I have no doubt
- of my ability to succeed.
Z "Humbly I submit that my experi-
- eno at the war office, first as director
of mobilisation and later as director of
organization Is a measure of my fitness
.' for my new task. As It stands British
, society would be helpless in the face of
i a determined outbreak of anarchy.
"A few thousand desperate men could
J play havoc with the existing order In
-- our cities before any effective 'police or
' military resistance could be available.
, "Two hundred desperadoes could take
possession of a city of 200.000 more
K quickly almost than it takes to tell it.
True they might eventually he thrown
out. but not before they had brought
t upon the community a plague of blood-
ehed, outrage, robbery and arson. These
. are not ' the times when decent men,
women and children should be exposed
- to such perils. The unrest, dissatls-
faction and criminal bistlncts are too
J. threatening; In every country for the
? geod-cltiaenehlp to remain longer un
' prepared for Its own defense.
: l: . "As more than 1,000.000 Americans
P are now organised to support the duly
constituted authorities against extrem-
? Ism and lawlessness of whatever brand,
J so I purpose that the British empire
V shall be organised to safeguard its
I democratic order. Its religious Instltu
i tiona and the sanctity of Its homes.
AGGEE8SIOW WOT FR0PO8EJJ
' "We 'shall take a voluntary roll call
tt of the people as to whether they want
a free government or an orgy of anarchy
In this country. If they want freedom
. 1 and law they will be asked to sign our
declaration of faith. Thus enrolied they
& will be communicated with and told In
,1 detail what they are to do and how
. they are to do it if violence suddenly
, breaks upon them.
f : "There will be nothing aggressive
about our organization. We shall simply
I stand firm upon our rights as demo-
cratlc cltlons equipped with Individual
and collective knowledge of how to pre
serve those rights inviolate. Our work
Is not that of propaganda but of action.
We are not going to say things, but will
s prepare ourselves to do them if neces
I sary. Propaganda is a powerful weapon
but too often It merely evaporates in
i. talk. We shall have a clear-cut scheme
for each town and village and hope to
array on our side practically the whole
. womanhood of the country. To our
j Women, so wonderful in the war, I am
making a special appeal to rally to the
' i support of the British Lesion."

Moscow, March S. (Delayed.)
X have Just seen the British civil
prisoners and prisoners of war wtart
for . England. ' It waa a merry and
inspiring occasion. The Rev. Mr.
North with a few members of the
British committee, came to see the
prisoners, all of whom were in good
spirits. I congratulated North on
the realization of hla efforts.
"1 am vary glad to see them liberated,
he replied. "This is only the first batch
of civil and war prisoners. There is one
officer among them. About 200 civil
prisoners are stlU- in the country and
they will leave as soon aa I can collect
them." . ,
SOME WIXZ, BEYAfir
"Will any of them be left in Mos
cow?" I asked, i
"Tea.' he replied. "A number of offi
cers, and a few civil prisoners who are
bo well off here that they are not afraid
to risk a new start in the old country,
want to stay. I, have sent a wireless
about them and I rather expect they will
be encouraged to coma home."
When asked about the train accommo
dations for the prisoners the Rev. Mr.
Norh said: "You can see for yourself
how excellent they are." We passed
through the long train of some 20 big
coaches, including sleepers and hospital
cars, "saloon cars," two dining cars, one
kitchen car with four hage shining copper
kettles already containing articles being
prepared for the supper, one car stocked
with bread and other provisions and two
luxurious oars

"I saw plenty of wood $a all. the cars
and the travelers will notf suffer from
cold during their last couple of days In
Russia. If in the past they have gone
hungry they will have plenty to eat on
this trip.
While the train was being loaded with
provisions from sleighs drawn up near
it the- prisoners were walking up and
down the platform chatting with, each
other. The officer had a little Union
Jack sewn on one of his sleeves and was
also waving a big silk Union Jack. When
I tried to speak to him he listened only
for a moment, shook hands, shouted
"I'm a lucky boy," and off e went Joy
fully waving his Union Jack.
TEAPOTS ABE CABBIES
The civil prisoners, married couples
and whole families with children, were
mostly busy inside the cars arranging
comfortable seats. Many In a truly
Russian fashion were carrying teapots
with real Kngiisb tea a beverag which
long ago waa replaced In Russia by rasp
berry leaves and other etibatitutes.
"It's a funny world." said one of the
men to me. "In England somewhere- a
Bolshevist agitator tries to make trou
ble and is arrested and we, In turn,
are arrested here as hostages, you know
After a while we are set free and .then
we are arrested again.' Still we are
going home. X have been nine" months
in prison but I am not bitter. It's a
funny world. . We will certainly . for-
give them as soon as we are over the
frontier."
DEPAETUEE PLEASES THEM
That was 'the spirit In which most of
the prisoners were leaving. They were
happy at leaving a country where they
had suffered for causes, which perhaps
some of them did not fully comprehend.
They were innocent vie tins of a "funny
world.- .
The return home of these British
prisoners marks the end of the unsuc
cessful effort at military intervention.
Perhaps soon on the same platform will
be welcomed many more Englishmen and
Americans arriving as friends on . a
peaceful trip of intervention to help In
the rehabilitation of this great but horM
rlbly upset country.

Belgrade, Serbia, March I (via Paris,
France, March XX. Premier Protlteh
In parliament today explained the coun
try's Internal and foreign situation.. Be
began by apologising for the fact that
the government had not been formed eh
a broader .basis with representation of
all the parties, hut be added that it
would be a parliamentary one.
CREDITS ABE XJBGED V
The 'government, be said, would sub
mit an election bill and ask foe the ap
proval of credits. It would also propose
the formation Of a special parliamentary
committee made up of competent law
yers to work out the details of a per
manent constitution. After voting these
bills parliament would be dissolved and
new eieetioits called under the pro-visions
of ithe constitution.
Passing to foreign affairs fhe premier
said that the solution of the Adriatic
problem had not been : satisfactory so
far,' though he felt that in the end some
just and adequate settlement would be
arrived at which would protect the In
terests both of Serbia and Italy and in
sure peaceful, relatione in the future.
ADMITS MISTAKES
"Many errors have been committed"
he said, "but we can say that they were
not on our side. Unfortunately the ab
normal and Illegal situation created In
Flume by GabrleHs d'AnnUnzlo continues
and is a menace to all concerned. The
legal status there should be restored."
' Referring to Albania the premier said
that the best solution of that problem
was to let the Albanians regulate their
own affairs and their relations with
their neighbors under the League of Na
tions. For centuries, he said, they bad
lived in peace with these neighbors and
It was not until the arrival of the Turks
In Europe that, the troubles began.
' Premier Protltch's statement was re
ceived with satisfaction and the mem
bers of parliament cheered him for his
moderation and firmness in defending
the Serbian nation.
