THE BATTLE SCARRED RETURN
- . (Echo, Ore., News)
. Lincoln Hafner. a 'Walla
Walla boy who saw nearly a year
of service in camps on this side
of the' pond, is visiting at the
home of H. A. Brandt.'
The Italians who were howling
"viva" when the president was in
Rome last January, are now howling
something else.
THE PARIS CRISIS.
THE supreme crisis has eome. In a few days, per
Laps in a few hours, the world will know, whother
the allies having won the war are now to lose tho peace.
Italy is the stumbling block. Balked in her selfish im
perialistic aims, she promptly assumes the characteristic
role of the threatening black'guai-d. "
j "Should.the break become final, Italy will take steps
to'mako a separate peace with Germany.".
-That is the uitimatum from, the Italian embassy in
Paris. ; Whether, or not a compromise is effected now,
by that treacherous and contemptible threat, Italy from
a moral standpoint makes the break final. V
The only hope How seems to rest with the' Italian
people. Apparently King Emmanuel supports his om-
nxissanes. If the Italian people tan to repudiate their
representatives then the only self respecting course is to
allow Italy to; make the threat she has made effective,
and draw the peace terms accordingly.
ITALY THE REACTIONARY
FROM a moral standpoint Italy has never been in spir-
itual alliance with her allies. From the first she
has been actuated by supreme selfishness and unprinci
pled imperialistic ambition. She entered the war an ally
of the Central Powers. For months she was inactive,
ready to join either side wliich promised her the largest
bribe. The allies pffered the better terms, so she treated
her alliance as a scrap of paper, and entered the lists
against Austria.'? " ' ' ;
. Her arniieS bought well, her people suffered tremen
dous sacrifices," but politically she remained, as she is to
day, animperialistie-' hrigand, faithful to the outlawed
principles of her old alliance. - True she Was granted cer
tain concessions? London, but as Presi
dent Wilson pointed -out those concessions were invali
dated by the changes in the map of Europe, by the crea
tion of a finer conception of racial justice. .
t-j If her pretensions in fighting the Central Powers had
been other than hypocricy, she would now be willing to
modify her demands; and not lay claim to territory which
belongs to the Jugo-Slavs, on the grounds both of nation
ity and peaceful reconstruction.
. President -Wilson in his stand against the demands of
Italy, is merely insisting that the fundamental principles
for which the allies fought, should not be treated as scraps
of-paper. Whatever sympathy there faiay haye been with
Italy before has been removed now by her despicable
threat to traitorously join with, the ejteniy. ; j

doubt President Wilson ;woHld have withheld his ultima
tum. He has no selfish interest in Fiume. ; Neither has
the American people. He desires and they desire merely
uiai jusuce De servea. . , r;' ; .
-" Of course from this' rlistTifA. a-nA ' wirt tK -poinoti
liifdrmation it is difficult to be dogmatic, but as far as we
can see is as important to stana bjr tne president now
as during t.hpAvnr ' - " -
' The necessity of unity, of freedom from narrow parti
sans hip is as great today as it was a year ago. Theissues
involved are not of any party but df the country and the
world. We have a deep and abiding conviction that the
president with all the facts at hand must be acting wisely
and for the best interests of his countrymen and human
ity. In this hour of stress and danger we feel he deserves
and should have the undivided support of the American
people. - '..:.:.'. .:...,.; .,.-;.".. v-o ., ; - .-

Mitau Bolsheviki Objective
Long Coveted By Prussia
i
WASHINGTON, April 23. Mitau.
an objective of Bolshevik! operations
in Courland, Russia, Is described in
the following bulletin from the Wash
ington headquarters of the National
Goorgraphic society: f
"Mitau affords evidence that Prus
sia's desire- to spread 'kultur' . by
force. is no new-born impulse. A
'German.'.mjlitary order, the Brethren
of . the Sword, later amalgamated
with the Teutonic knights, felt calted
upon, early in the thirteenth century
to Implant Christianity in Courland,
of which JHtau later became the cap
ital. . ...
"On an island in theSemgaller Aa,
20 miles south or the Gulf of Riga,
the Knights of the' Sword built a pal
ace in 1265 and three centuries later
a town grew up there which became
the seat Of the dukes of Courland.-A.
"Under the dukes of the Kettler
line Courland flourished and . even
acquired an African and a West In
dian colony. But when Duke James,
last of the Kettlers died, there came
an adventurer whose life story shows
how easily Rasputins attach them
selves to the Russian court.
, "Ernst Johann Biren, grandson of
a' groom, was expelled from the Uni
versity of Koenigsberg.. When : he
drifted back to Mitau one of his sis
ters was a temporary favorite of
Peter Bestuzhev, minister of the
Duchess Anne Ivanovna, fail mistress.
Upon this ladder of liaisons Biren
climbed to Anne's attention and fa
vor, became her lover, had Peter ban
ished, and when Anne became Em
press of Russia, the debonair and
handsome soldier of fortune took up
his abode in apartments of the royal
palace adjoining hers. ' ''
"Nominally grand , chamberlain,
Biren became a stop gap for royal
graft, and thus accumulated enor
mous lands, moneys and jowels. He
induced his Imperial mistress to
make him Duke of Courland. He re
built the nlstoric castle at Mitau, en
gaging as architect Count Rastrelli,
designer of the original Winter Pal
ace at St. Petersburg which figured
