d APE OF BELGIUM
N BARS WILSON

PARIS, May 26.-The Temps, one Of
the most influential newspapers in
France, in an editorial leader printed
this morning views with disfavor the
reports that President Wilson is con,
sidering Offering the services of the
United States to bring the war to an
end. n. S4@ssA !. ....s t..
The editorial takes the position that
the United, States and the present ad,
:miiiStrstion has done nothing~ that
would give IL a claim TO interfere in
the war. In closing the writer says;
at would seem, TO judge by what
we have heard in this country, that
President Wilson thinks his refusal to
pass Judgement on the really vital ques
tions that have affected both neu-
trails and the belligerents in the war
have given him the right to inter,
vene. He should remember that to
have tolerated the violation OF the
neutrality of Belgium does not create
for him the right TO participate in the
restoration of that country"

members of the committee on naval
affairs, in report made to the house
today by their minority.
The minority report follows the mai.

few days ago. '@f'
The house Republicans in their re.
port denounce the naval appropriations
rs estimated by the Democratic mai.
ority, declining the estimates altogeth.
cr inadequate for the navy increases
which must be made, and say that
vital features Of an expansion program
have been ignored by the Democrats.
Declaring that the U. s. navy should
stand second among the worlds war
fleets, the minority charge that the
majority ignored both the opinions Of
experts and the recommendation Of
Secretary Daniels and reached com
promise which is untenable. '4T-. .,
The minority report recommends that
the provision for the construction of
two drcadnoughts, omitted from the
majority recommendations, be reported
in the naval measure, and that six
hattle-cruisers be constructed and ff-
ty coast submarines instead Of twenty.

Great Russian
Army. !. Joins
British Forces
Main Column In Mesopotamia
United With Generals Lake and
Gorfirge Against Turks IL
tAssoeiatsd Press by Federal wirels.s.l

(Associated Press by Federal wireless)
PETROGRAD, May 2G.-The Russian
war office last night announced official
ly that the Muscovite column, which
has been operating in Persia, and for
several weeks has been moving suoth
among the foothills of the Pusht-i-Kuh
mountains, on the western frontier of
Persia, has now succeeded in effecting
n junction with the British troops un.
der thee command of Gen. Sir Percy
Lake and Gen. Sir George GOrringe, in
the vicinity of Kut-el-Amara.
Apparently this column entered Me-
sopotamia by rounding the southern
arms of the Pusht.i Kuh range in the
vicinity of Kutbi, and moved west and
northwest fanking the Turks, who
have been holding the Els Sim lines
below the. i'll .fated town of Kut, where
General TOwnshend was compelled to
surrender TO hunger and superior num-
bers.
Forces Are Scattered
They apparently have scattered their
forces somewhat, for Constantinople
reports having defeated several scout
ing parties in that section of Meso-
potamia. In order to have reached the
neighbOrhOod of Kut el-Amara, the
Slav column must have made one Of the
most brilliant marches of the war,
fanking the large Turkish forces that
lay between them and their objective
point, the British command on the ii.
girls.
Several days ago it was officially an
nounced by Sir George Gorringe that
division of Cossacks had, by dar
ing ride, hanked the Turks and reached
the vicinity of Kut, joining forces with
him. The arrival Of the main body, re-
ported last night, gives a much needed
reinforcement to the British army on
the Tigris, and threatens the Turkish
forces with the heaviest defeat the
Ottoman army has yet suffered.
Turks Betwosn Two Armies
Some months ago large Russian
force, operating from Hamadan, Persia,
was reported to have forced the pass
west of Khanykin, in the northern
reaches of the Pusht-iKuh range, and
north west Of Bagdad The official an,
nouncement last night did not state
whether this force has moved west
ward, but military observers here are
of the opinion that it has been acting
as support for the column now co
operating with General Lake, and they
point out that il this should prove to
be the case, the Turks south of Bag
dad are almost certain to be cut off and
crushed between two armies.
