Entente Is Opposed
To Dis11aemberr,,er,f
OF Russian Nation,
IStGD correspondence

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-T The En-
tente Allies are opposed to the dissolu-
tion OF Russia. and their influence will
be exercised to discourage that ten
dency0 among the Russian provinces. it
was learned in an authoritative quarter
to-day.
The two principal reasons for their
opposition to the dismembermen of
the country into several independent
states were said to be:
First-The fact that such dismem-
berment would create situation in
Russia resembling that in the Bal
kans. and would thus threaten the
future peace of Europe.
Second-The fact that such dis
memberment would impair Russia's
ability to meet her international
financial obligations.
Russia owes to France many billions
OF dollars, it was asserted. and her Oh
legations to other countries. while
smaller. are nevertheless very consid-
erable. so that other countries besides
France would be seriously affected by
the continuation of the processes Of
disintegration that are now at work
in Russia.
Finland, it was said. is not properly
a part Of Russia, and has only been
maintained as part by the use of
force, as the Finnish people not only
are not Russians, but aspire to com
plete independence and the opportunity
to develop their own national character
and institutions.

German Enyoy's Threat

"Within a week we will occupy
Reval," General Hoffman,, German
military representative at the Brest-
Litovsk peace conference. is reported
to have told the Russians late in jan
uary, when they asked what would hap
pen if they did not accept Germany's s
final terms.
The Stockholm announcement indi-
Gates that Germany is moving to carry
out this threat. Revaal is the capital of
the Province of Esthonia. 1t is stu
ated on the Gulf Of Finland and has
been one of the principal Russian naval
bases for Baltic operations. 1t had q
population before the war Of between
10000 and 10000.
The Germans occupation of Riga last
fall and the extension Of their inva-
sion northward gave them possession
of a portion of the Province Of Livonia,
including virtually all the coast of the
Gulf Of Riga. Its area is $4,000 square
miles. Immediately to the north, bor-
dering on the Gulf Of Finland, is the
Province of Esthonia, 1890 square
miles in area. These two provinces
together with the Province of Cour-
land, which has for some time been in
German possession. compose the Bal
tic provinces, possession of -,hch by
Germany in the peace settlement has
been insisted upon by the ultra-annex-
ationst faction in the empire.
Occupation Of Rcval would naturally
be one Of the first steps to be taken
were a military advance upon Petro
grad in prospect. A railroad runs
thence along the coast to the capital
which is about 200 miles distant

Fight Don Cossacks

PETROGRAD, Tuesday, Feb. 12.-
The Bolshevik army commanders claim
to have defeated forces of Gen
eral Alexietf under command Of Gen
eral Erdelli, on Saturday (February 81
and to have occupied Taganrod, a Rus
sian seaport in the Don Cossack terri
tory.
voronezh. capital of theProvince of
Voronezh, also is said to be in the
hands of the Bolshevik troops.
Ensign Krylenko. the Bolshevik COM
mander in chief, has decided to come
to Petrograd to raise an army of 100,-
900 Bolsheviki, which he will command
personally. in operations against the
Cossack army of General Alexief'. He
is insisting on moving army headquar-
ters from MoEilev to Petrograd.
A battle was begun THU sday be-
tween the Bolsheviki and a wing of the
Cossack army of General Alexieff
which is advancing toward Kharkov (in
the Ukraine, 420 miles southwest of
Moscow. The Bolshevki are sending
troops to crush this newest revolution
but reports received here indicate that
the forces of Boris Savinkoff who was
a member of the Kercnsky Cabinet, are
ready to join General Alexieff.
Diplomatic reports indicate that the
Alexieff movement is obtaining less
support than it's originators expected
Much friction exists among the forces
in the Don.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 18.-The situa-
ton faced by Germany in Poland is Of
the gravest Importance to the Central
Powers, and carries iii it the posi-
bility of creating schism between
Germany and Austria Hungary, it was
asserted by Entente diplomats TODAY.
One authority said: "Therc have
been two parties in Poland of nearly
equal strength, but until the signing
OF the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty with
the Ukraine the pro- German party was
slightly in the ascendent. The other
party placed no confidence in the en-
gagements and promises of Berlin, and
little more in those of Austria, but it
was the Austrian rather than the Ger
man influence which won over a SEEM
ing majority Of the Poles.
",Thc Poles now see their own in
tcrcsts sacrificed and themselves be-
traycd by the Germans, who have be-
slowed a part of Polish territory upon
the Ukranians, and now the pro-Gcr-
man party. from all reports, thrcntcns
serious consequences to the Germans
ut is to that phase of the situation
that the most Importance is attached
There is most favored party in Aus
tro Hungarian politics, the Polish
party, which wields great influence
and whose sympathics, of course, are
with their fellow Poles. Austria-H
gary cannot. therefore, assist Ger
many in the execution of the pro-
visions of the treaty with the Ukraine
without giving offence to her own
Poles, and this she will not do. Ger
manys predicament is one from which
it does not appear she may extricatc
herself without much embarrassment. -
