The Georgians hayebeen greatly ir
ritated by the British retention of the
Georgia port of Batoum, and their
announcement that . England would
hold Batoum for at least six months
longer. The Soviet government, on
the other hand, has recognized Ba
toijm as a part of the Georgian Re
public. "From all I saw in southeast Rus
sia I should say that there is no dan-
i ger whatever to the American per-
sonnel of the Near East Relief oper
ating in Georgia and Armenia and
that the 'disarmament imposed upon
Georgia and Armenia by the treaty
with the Bolshevists would tend to
insure peace in Transcaucasia, rather
than more fighting." m
The $175,000,000, the sum' expend
ed in the construction of the defenses
of Heligoland, shows what colossal
futility militarism attained. Now that
the impregnable fortress of the
North S.ea has become a ruin, a mass
of debris, reason for doubt as to the
future has beeiwemoved. Asasnn
