Mr.. Wilson is said to be especially
concerned In the problem of estab-
fishing stable government In Russia.
and there Is reason for his concern.
That distracted country has bobbed
up again In the news columns and the
situation there Is, If possible. more com
plcated than ever. The new all-Itus-
sian government that was established
nd ,-acaeratznI hu nf
the anti-bolshevik elements Is now In
control of Admiral Alexander Kolchak.
The council of ministers executed q
coup d'etat and made K0lchak the ylr-
tual dictator and commander Of the
all-Russlan army and navy. He Is
called supreme governor" Several
opposing ministers were imprisoned.
What the course of the commissioners
Of the allied governments will be Is
not known.
Along the Dvina the bolsheviki at
tackled the allied forces and were re-
pulsed with heavy losses. Since then
they have contented themselves with
Smelling the Russo-allied positions
from the gunboats, with which they
are better supplied than their adver.
saries.
An event that was very gratifying
to Washington and the entente cap
itals was the overthrow of the Ukrain-
ian government and the capture Of
Kiev by anti-bolshevik troops from
! Astrakhan under General Denlkine.
| This opens the way for the allies d.
rectly into the heart of Russia. While
they were being ousted at home, the
Ukrainians were engaged In contlnu-
Gus fighting with the Poles in Gallcia.
where they had taken Lemberg. and
In Bukowina, where they held CZerno-
WITT. There, as In the Ukraine. the
Ukrainians were helped by German
officers.
No news has come from eastern 81
IBERIA. nor Is much to be expected
since its dissemination is under the
control Of the japanese. The recent
lifting of the censorship does not
seem to apply to that region.
The government took two steps last
week that aroused much comment and
not little protest. The first was an
order making effective governmental
control Of all the marine cable sys-
TENS Of the United States and the
second was the consolidation of the
services Of the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies under
governmental control. Postmaster
General Burleson is In control.

Congress adjourned on November
q In order that the members might
have brief rest before the short SEES
sion opens on December 2. The pres
ident has planned that all Important
legislation shall be held up during hi,
absence In Europe, the scheme bein.
to have the vice president and speak
er withhold their signatures to bill,
passed; but considerable opposition I,
this plan is developing. Many leaders
In congress contend that there Is ir
gent necessity for legislation In III,
line or reconstruction, In which Amer
lea already is being outstrpped BY Eu
