VOLUNTEER ARMY IN RUSSIA IS
 NOW PROPOSED
By the Associated Press.

Archangel, Nov 23.-Ahe American and entente troops have encountered strong opposition both on the Volo- gda-Archangel railway and on the Dvina river. Owing to the swampy condition of the terrain it has been necessary to confine operations to the waterways and the railway As the upper part of the river is deeper than at it's mouth, the Bolshevik craft, equipped with large guns, have been better able to maneuver than the entente ships and have prevented the occupation of Kotlaz by the entente
 A plan is under discussion in mili- tary circles for the creation of a voluntary army. for Russian relief Should the allies agree upon the policy of feding Russia.
 Daylight in Archangel now is of only four hours duration. and this fact, With the fogs, facilitates the guerrilla warfare of the Bolsheviki, operating in the shelter of the for ests. It it believed the evacuation of Archangel by the allies would pro- bably result in the muredr of the entire population friendly to the en- tente by the Bolsheviki. just as the elements antagonists to the Bolshe- wiki were slaughtered in the Volga towns evacuated by the Czechs after the establishment of White Guard governments under Czech support. A similar slaughter occurred at Volgo- ada where entente supporters who rallied about the embassies, were persecuted mercilessly after the de- partur of the entente diplomats. AL lied encoura cement of the anti-Bol- shevik organization has carried with it responsibility which the military leaders are unwilling to overlook.

RECOGNITION OF
 RUSSIA AT PEACE
 CONFERENCE URGED

Washington, Nov. 23 Recognition of Russia at the world peace confer encc at Versailles was urged by Prince George Ivoff first prime min ister of Russia after the overthrow of the Czar in statement today to the American people. Prince Ivoff expressed bis conviction that any pro gram of reconstruction which does not provide for the complete destruc- tion of Bolshevism in Russia would leave in the world the germ of an other great war.
 The termination of the war has raised the question of the peace con- ference, said Prince Ivoff.
 'l think sense of duty and jus tice dictates to the allies the neces- sity of organizing in Versailles a de- fense of Russian interests. This work can be done by Russians only. The country as a whole is unable at pres ent to send to the conference it's plen- ipotentiary representative. When our friend is ill we act for him.
 ''To designate the persons and con sder the form of their part at the conference is matter of friendly in terest to the alIies.'
 Of the present Bolsheviki rulers of Russia. Prince Ivoff. said:
 "From the outside it would seem the Bolsheviki display strong power, but 'ths impression is not correct Almost all the branches of their ad- ministration are in state of chaos. and they are unable to enforce even by the most cruel and sanguinary measures, the submission of the bor der lands asd the execution of their dacrnoc

tions, pooling. short hauling and other reforms looking to efficient operation. regardless of the fact that the war emergency is over. Oppo- sition to this course now appears to be developing. and the issue of whe- ther railroads are to remain perma- nently under government direction and even government ownership, or be returned shortly to their private owners, is taking form. This issue is principal legacy which Mr. Me Adoo will leave his successor
 MT. McAdoo is known to have un- der consideration the formulation of a statement of his individual atti- tude on what should be the nations policy toward permanent government management or ownership. His friends say he leans toward the view that the government should own the railroads, but this has not been confirmed by his own public statements.
 By the resignation. President Will son for the fouth time in nearly six years of his term of office is faced with the necessity of filling a vacancy in his cabinet. The resignation of Mr. McAdoo took official Washington so completely by surprise that even today there was little speculation as to his successor or successors. It is not known whether the President will fill separately the offices of Sec retary of the Treasury and Director General of Railroads. In some quar- ters it was thought today that the President may decide to make some other member of the cabinet head of the nations railroad system In such an event it was considered likely that the place would go to Secretary Burleson or Secretary of the Interior Lane. Should the President decide to go outside his cabinet for Di- rector General, the name of Walker D. Hines, assistant director general. and chairman of thu board of direc- tors of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe vas mentioned.
 For the Treasury secretaryship the names of John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency, w. P. G. Harding, governor of the federal re- serve board, Russel C.. ,Leffingwell, assistant secretary of the treasury, and Paul Warburg, former member of the reserve board and New York banker, were mentioned.
 In expressing regret over >the re- signation of Secretary of the Trea- sury McAdoo, Benjamin Strong, gov ernor of the New York Federal Re- serve Bank, today declared that "it is sad exhibition of the stupidity with which some of our affairs are managed in this country that our government, the richest in the world, does not recognize that its important officials should be adequately com pensated

 Dear Dr. iParker:-
 Your letter of October 17th, tn closing your check for Five ($5) Dol lars for, membership in the National Association and subscription to "The Crisis" has been received We wish to thank you for this evidence Of your intertst in the race and in the work of this organization.
 We are also much interested in the fact that yotl feel that Branch of the Association can be established in Pine Bluff. Arkansas was one of the last states to be represented in the Association, but applications are coming in from various parts of the state, and it seems certain that within a few months the whole state will te we'll organized.
 I am sending you, under separate cover, a supply of liteaturre and or. ganization material which will give you all of the information necessary concerning the Association and the steps necessary for the organization of a Local Branch. On reading the little pamphlet, How to Form a Branch" you will note that the Board of Directors lately ruled that the executive charter will be granted no Branch until it has at least fifty n1S,hn ,yy1ln lao ksf,, for charter. I have no doubt, how tver, that you can secure at least fifty persons in Pine Bluff who are active and interested in the work of securing the full rights of citizen ship for cOlored Americans You will, of course, understand that we want the Branch in your community headed by men and women of charac- ter and standing in the community and, moreover, who are, in as large degree as possible, free from the conditions which would make them afraid to speak out for justice and fair play.
 I trust that those associated with you will make this matter of first importance. There is no doubt but that in the next few months colored people of the United States will need the National Association more than ever before.
 Yours very truly,
 James w. Johnson, JWJ :PMW Field Secretary All persons interested are asked to meet at St. ohm A. M. E. church, Cherry and .Pulltn streets, Thursday night, at o'clock to perfect the or ganization.
