The "big four" resumed its sessions to day in a room adjoining that occupied by President Wil son in the "Paris White House." The president, who is suffering from. a severe cold, was still confined to his bed by Rear Admiral Grayson's orders. Colonel House represented him on the "big four" which held its meeting in the president's residence in the interests of economy of time. His colleague's theory was that if any points came up on which his ndvice was needed he could be easily consulted. A new ioi itiuu adopted by the "big four" became effective today.

But crushing the Hparincans is a blind fight against hid den enemies and the trembling repub lic is having a hard tune of It. It i one thing to declare a wr to the finish against the Hpartocans, as Hcheidi maim did on behalf of the gov ernment on February 1, and another thing to carry that war out. There is no clean rut campaign to eonduct ex cept in regions where the Hpartacists have stirred workmen into open revolt, and there force cannot be used until the issue ha been made clear, that people may not accuse the government cf using arm against hungry working people. The Kparlncan leaders have contiu- iialkv nnvercd themselves under the cloak of labor lender. More and more it is be-oming increasingly clear that Hjmrtncism is not a labor movement but a political and economic atruggle. Invariably the ftpartaran have begun their work a a strike or a series o strikes, inspired by propaganda d. reel ed a'ainst wealth and the government. When the issue became clearer, it was seen that the struggle was not for the workman, bnt that he had beee used at a means for political caill.
