Bf ROBERT J. BENDER,
United Press Staff Correspondent.

Washington, d. c., July 1.-Presi-
dent Wilson is formulating his doc
trine of aid for Russia.
With orders issued that he shat rot
be disturbed, the president worked In
his study preparing a statement which
will make clear Americas purposes in
the allied effort to put Russia on her
fee. There is no indication today
hat the president will advocate IN
qualifiedly a set plan for the allies.
After extended exchanges between
Great Britain, France, Italy and the
United States, however, his founda-
ton work for assistance is approved
by all.
Economic Aid First.
1t contCmpiates economic aid first
means Of assisting the Russian people
to improve their financial condition,
restore business channels and move
crops. Conferences between President
Wilson, Secretary of Labor Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture Houston and
Secretary of Commerce Redfield have
developed the plans for organizing
facilities, it developed today. This will
serve to lay the groundwork for mill
tary assistance if demanded. The first
need is to restore complete confidence
in Russia in the allies, 1t Is stated.
The president will inform congress
Of his purposes-possibly in a formal
address to that body. He already has
conferred with congressional leaders
on the question. His Fourth of July
speech at Mount Vernon will hold out
the hand Of aid to Russia as well as
other nationalities NOV under German
domination.
The presidents work is rendered
doubly difficult by the confusing re-
ports from Russia. The only certain
thing abou: the situation there is the
increasing chaos. If the ]bolshevist
are overthrown, however, the allies are
now definitely enough together in their
plans to offer assistance TO any stable
government established The Germans,
it is known, are preparing TO gain con-
troll q SUCH government before the
allies can move. -zSrEGccE--aElEyyzzx1sS~
England believes that IL an American
army should be put into Russia, even
though 1t were only LOO, 900 men or
less, it would serve as a rallying point
for the Slavs. AS 1t moved on it would
gain recruits: and it's very presence
would stimulate the Russians to align
themselves against Germany. Backed
by other allied forces, a powerful army
could be built, say British sources.

lral Gudmunsen Of Burley WAS ir

to sign up the petition for the re
moval of the County Seat to A Albion
Mr.. Gudmunsen reports good pro
gress and netrly + the business
houses has signed the petition. He
reports there are few who has not
got enough gut in them to sign it as
they might hurst someone's feelings.
Let the other fellow look out for
himself. We believe AS far RS we
can ascertain that the majority of the
Oakley people are in favor of moving
it to Burley, not because they want
to give Burley the county seat. but
they wisely assume that Burlcy is the
most logical and the easiest access
able place to have It. There is one
thing sure, Oakley can never get it,
and the sooner some of the people
here realize that fact the better il
will be for all concerned.

ENCOURAGING News.

REGENTS events in the field
OF war are very encouraging
to the Allies as they show that
the Germans are far from
being the supermen they have
pictured themselves to be.
The Germans while excellent
lighters cannot stand punish
ment like the troops Of the
Allied nations, The super
men break when they are con-
fronted by equal forces of
Americans, Britons or French
and when once demoralized,
they appear to be very hard
to rally, as the distance Of
the German retreat show. The
German forces are at their
best when confronting a weak
foe, and the Hindenburg tat
les do not succeed against
Foch's strategy. The events
Of the past month are very
encouraging, and a few more
months of the same kind will
reduce the Huns to despair.
Already the Kaiser and his
clique see the writing on the
wall, and the German people
long deceived by their rulers
will see the armies of demo-
cracy rushing across the
Rhine.

Trotzky, the Bohlshevik
autocrat, declares France and
England are the greatest en-
emles Of the Russian republic
and has declared war upon
thew. We know that France
and England and America
are enemies of such tyranny,
treason, and inefficient gov
vernment as represented by
Lenine and Trotzky. The
Allies are the best friends OF
free people of Russia. The
Bohlsheviki and their friends
are the very worst foes Of
liberty and Of a freu Russia.
The autocrat OF Germany is a
far worse enemy Of the Rus
sian people than we're the
Romanoffs. The latest report
is that Lenine and Trotzky
has fled to Kronstadt and the
Bohlshevik government will
shortly move to the same
place. Their power is now
waning.
