GOVERNMENT TAKES
OVER BRICK OUTPUT

For the construction OF the war
workers houses, being built at Front
and Union streets by tho Lynch Con-
struction Company. the Government
has commandeered the entire output OF
bricks Of the Delaware Terra Gotta
Company and James b. Oberly. One
million bricks from each concern will
be delivered by each company to the
construction company.
The Government order was given on
July 10 and called for the brick output
10 begin at once. II is not known
whether the Government order applied
to the bricks the two concerns had on
hand to be delivered 10 customers now
engaged in finishing the construction OF
homes or business buildings. II is GER
taned, however, that no new orders
will be contracted for by the local brick
yards. For the purpose OF learning the
details OF the order and whether there
is any possible way OF completing the
standing orders for constructions now
under way. Charles Oberly, manager OF
the James Oberly yard, left for Wash

Government officials.

tion Still Secret as
Crisis Nesrs
SIBERIAN RECOGNITION
Is BEING CONSIDERED

WASHINGTON, July i3.-Unoflcial
estimates made here from authentic in
formation concerning the economic
conditions in Russia place the amount
Of money which will be necessary to
supply Russia with the machinery, i'm
plements, foodstuffs and other supplies
necessary for her rehabilitation at a
minimum OF si.OO0000,O0O.
Whether the United States, upon
whom the burden is most likely TO fall
will bear Il single-handed and without
obligations from Russia is not known
1t was stated in seml-of1lcial quarter
today that two means are presented
by which America may recover, after
the war, DE greater part OF the vast
expenditures required. They are af-
forded by the organization OF the ST.
berian government and by the forma-
tion Of another separate government in
the Province Of Vologda, whose terri
tories reach to the northern coast.
Recognition by the United States OF
these governments would be requisite
before negotiations for a loan might be
undertaken with them, and recognition
would carry with IL as an essential
counterpart military assistance, as
both new governments are threatened
by the Bolshevlkl and German machln-
ations and armies.
II is not doubted here that the Brit
ish and French forces along the Muir
man and Archangel railroads running
f-k- t~41 u -.
angel will give immediate help to the
new government in that region. The
Czecho-Slovak troops in Siberia. il is
believed, will be able to control the
situation for some time before the Boil
shsviki and Germano-TIunsarisn shall
be able to overpower them, thus giving
sufficient opportunity 10 the Siberian
TO perfect its organization.
There has been no change Of opinion
on the part Of the Entente diplomatic
here that military assis-
tance must accompany economic aid to
Russia, but 1t is also recognized that
there must be some authority in Rus |
sla to assist in administering the re-
lief which viii be furnished. and II is |
considered likely that the two new
governments may supply that need.

ment, has no recognized official status
and Is not visiting the American and
allied capitals at their invitation, but
notwithstanding the private character
OF his tour. considerable Importance is
attached both TO his movements and to
his uttersnces, because of the great fol-
lowing he possesses in Russia.
lt was asserted in a diplomatic quar-
ter today that neither President VIII
son nor the State Department has ac-
quainted the Entente Embassies here
with any decision reached in regard to
the aid planned for Russia, but there is
reason to believe that the Presidents g
purposes have been made known TO
the Allied Supreme Council at Yer
sallles, and that events In Russia are
so shaping themselves as to accord
| thoroughly with the Presidents pro-
gram.
Marie Bocharova, commander OF the
Battalion Of Death, who had an inter
view with the President, Wednesday,
and appealed TO him for military aid
for Russia heard President Wilson re-
iterate his sympathy for Russia and
Americas readiness TO assist her cOun-
try, but he refrained from discussing
any details or MS plan.
10 is known that an organization IS
being created which will play an i'm
portant part in the economic help the
United States viii give Russia. but even
details OF this plan are being with
held. II is regarded as practically GER
tain, however, that the major efforts
OF the economic Intervention VIII be
directed from the Siberian entrepot OF
Russia, and not from Archangel and
Kola, where supplies from America al
ready are being distributed.
Close observers of the Russian situ-
alton asserted today that 1t would not
be surprising II in the near future II
should be disclosed that the Lenine-
Trotzky regime has entered into a de-
fensive arrangement with Germany. by
which Berlin Will protect the Soviet
government against all counter move
ments in Russia. as well as being d.
rected against possible military action
In Russia by the Allies. In support OF
that belief the recent emanatlons from
Moscow quoting the Bolsheyik leaders
as limiting at an alliance between Rus
sia and Germany in the event OF the
landing OF Japanese and British forces |
In Russia were quoted.
IL Is now taken for granted In Wash |
lngton that neither the American gov
ernment nor the Allies will make |
known premateurely any pans involv-
Ing military dispositions in Siberia, and |
that the first that Will become definite
Iy known concerning armed assistance
for Russia will be after the fact.
The lnslsteDce with which Allied and
Russian spokesmen as we'll declare that
any help for Russia must include mill
iary aid to be effective, and that Japan

Central Powers which has forces avail
