original program for one million men
did not contemplating our participa-
tion in the war. We compressed the
fve-year program into one year when
1t Immediately became apparent that
the one million program would not

Preparation Of estimates and actual
appropriations by Congress, the gen.
eral said, caused further delay
"We did everything we could" he
continued, ito get the manufacturing
establishments of the country going
on orders in anticipation OF appropria-
tions. The obstacle was that many
manufacturers did not care to spend
money or could not secure loans in
advance of actual appropriations.
That caused very considerable de-
lay. There also we're delays under
the abnormal purchasing system me-
cessary, without time for competi-
tive bidding, in some cases"
Referring to the Cost plus ten pei

the system had "woiked out fair!,

:. but Il is not as good as wher
prices are definitely fixed" he said
1T is better to use that only in cast
Of emergency.

take fixed price contracts at ALL Gen
eral Crozier said. "They would no

armistice negotiations with the Ger

There has been no announcement
from Russian sources of any change
in the chief command Of the armies

Bolsheviki power in Petrograd is
being menaced more seriously as the
opposition becomes solidified. There
is unrest in Petrograd and Moscow,
the extremist strongholds, and the
Cossacks already have advanced from
the Don northward. Russian officials
In London assert that the anti Bolshe-
Wiki forces are composed not only OF
the Cossacks, but also Of the leaders
of the other political parties in Rus
sia.
The political leaders opposed to the
extremists, expect that their military
forces will be able to depose the Boil
sheviki soon and that by spring they
will have a formidable fighting force
to meet the Germans. The whole force
of 100000 Cossacks, 1t is said in Lon
don, where direct communication has
been established with Gen. Kaledines,
will back the counter revolution. 1t is
planned to solidify the local fighting
forces, eliminate the Bolsheviyi from
Southern Russia and establish new
fighting front to keep the Germans
iout Of the Russian grain and coal and
mineral fields.
