Holding Measures of the
Administration
BY Will P. Kennedy, Washington
Representative of the Star.

Representative of the Star.
Washington, April 12.-In spite of
the fact that his father, Congressman
Frank Clark of Gainesville, through
his strong influence as an admins
tration leader in charge of important
war legislation could have secured
him commission, Frank Clark Jr.
has come to Washington and enlisted
as a yeoman, second class, in the
navy.
Although member of the state
legislature and exempt also on the
grounds that he is married, the jun
ior Clark felt impelled to give person
al service to the country. Federal Of
ficials generally and many members
Of Congress are proud of this mani
festation of the patriotism that is
born and raised in Florida and are
complimenting the dean of the Flor
ida delegation in Congress upon the
spirit shown by his son and name
sake.
1t is recalled that Immediately
when this country became embroiled
in the world-war Congressman Clark
wrote to President Wilson offering to
go to Florida and raise a regiment, or
if such service were not desired to en-
list in any capacity in which his ac-
tive services would be most valuable
to the country in its titantic struggle
"to make the world safe for democ-
racy." At that time President Wilson
wrote Congressman Clark letter
praising his zeal and patriotism but
saying that he believed that he could
be of the greatest value to the coun-
try by remaining in Congress and
helping to frame and pass laws vital
to the success of American arms

The correspondent of the Daily Mail
wires from Harbin under date of July 1
as follows:
Living on the railway at Harbn, in
special carriage. is Admiral koltchak,
formerly Admiral Essen's chief of opera
tions in the Russian Baltic fleet, and
later commander of the Black Sea fleet.
We have had an interesting chat. In
the course of our conversation Kolt-
chalk said:
I'm January, after the Bolshevik.
coup d'etat, ! was in Toxic and received
a message from the Russian Minister at
Pekin. asking me to proceed to Man
churia to assist in reorganizing the Rus
sian forces there; and here I am at
Harbin, where l have accepted COM
mand of the Russian troops in the zone
of the Chinese eastern railway.
Allied Intervention is absolutely
necessary. The Russians would not OBJ
ject to a Japanese army acting under
an Allied mandate but, in my opinion,
some British troops are imperative. An
expedition so composed would not meet
with the resistance of the populat ton,
and to reach the Urals would neither
be difficult nor call for a great many
troops.
Primarily, the object of the eXpedi-
tion would be to disarm the population.
to suppress Bolshevik outlawry. restore
order. and render possible representative
elections. so as to secure to the country
proper Self-government. At the same
time, the Allies should provide the in
habitants with relief in the shape of
vital commodities and a reorganza-
ton of food supplies.
1T is possible, that if an Allied en-
pedition reached the Urals patriotic
Russians would rally round it as the
nucleus of new army, allowing the
eastern front to be reorganized
would not go farther than to put this as
probability
Speaking of the future of Russia, the
Admiral was confident that she would
outlive her midsummer madness, but
that it would take a long time The
Russians themselves, he said, could do
nothing for the time being without
Allied assistance"

stockholm, July II.
Lieutenant Barkman, a Swedish Of
ficer, who. as a representative of the
Swedish Red Cross. Travelled all over
Russia, has just arrived in Sweden
He says that at Perm he was living
at the same hotel where Grand Duke
Michael was kept prisoner and was
there when the Grand Duke escaped.
The Grand Duke was watched by
three soldiers who night and day were
posted outside his door. One night an
armed detachment arrived at the hotel
and showed an order from the Soviet
that the Grand Duke was to be moved
to another place. The soldiers on guard
thought the order genuine and so the
detachment left with the Grand Duke.
The next morning the coup was exposed,
but too late.
At Perm Barkman met reliable per-
son who had been at Ekaterinburg when
an attempt to murder the former Car
was made. This person one day was
walking behind a well-dressed man who,
when outside the house where the eX-
Car lived. threw a bomb through a
window and then escaped. The bomb
exploded but the ex-Czar was not hurt
as he was in another part of the fiat.
The Czarevitch. however. died from
| fright. He had long been very i'll.
Regarding connection between Mrbach
and Russian monarchists, the Social
! Democraten gives some details. Some
weeks ago a well known banker. Manos.
was arrested at Petrograd on the order
of an inquiry committee, a majority of
whom were social revolutionaries of the
Left wing. Searching his house in Mos
COW, they found documents which
showed that Manos had direct connection
with Mirbach. At the same time they
found that Manos had been collecting
money for organizing black society"
! for the service of the monarchists.
