Mr.. McAdoo has arranged the tickets

continued. 10 was believed the use OF
the books In Pullman cars would
oomploate war tax collections, but the
tickets can be torn out to cover addl-
tional taxes, so the 'scripe are good for

as ready for almost anything that re-
sembles order sad organization.
If the Allies are able to set up order
and help the Russian millions get food,
a long step toward the re-establish-
ment Of battle line In the east Will be
taken.
And with the swinging OF the "odds"
from the central powers TO the Allied
powers, Germany now stands to lose in
far greater degree than the Allies, by
any diversion from the main show In
the. west.
The ALLIES, the London Times points
out, "go in as friends Of the Russian
people, and II is for the Russian people
to choose what government they VIII
have"
Intervention In Russia has been made
possible by the 100000 Czecho-Slovak
soldiers who have occupied more than
2 800 miles OF the Trans-Siberian rail-
way from Pensa, in the heart OF Euro
pean Russia, to Lake Baikal, In ST.
IBERIA.
The Czecho-Slovaks, whose aid TO
the Allied cause Is, the Times says,
ARE yet but imperfeotly appreciated
by Allied opinion" are men who were
drawn by the Hapsburgs to
light Russia. On many occasions they
refused TO Tight those whose cause they
as their own and large num-
bers went over 10 the Russian ranks,
after the revolution.
When the Bolshevlk rule sent condi-
lions from bad to worse, the Czecho-
slovsks kept up their organization and
still nourished their hope TO be Of
service against The German masters.
They soon found they could serve
by settling themselves counter TO the
German scheme OF penetration and ex-
1loitation In European Europe. They
lid that. And then they spread their
organization eastward, helping the peo-
,le in local districts and extending
heir power until it now forms the
for Allied aid In Russia. /

LONDON, Aug. 2i.-Interventlon in
Russia comes on the heels OF informa-
ton to the Allied powers that before
next summer 20,0O0,000 people would
die In European and Aslatio Russia
II the terrible conditions prevailing
were allowed to continue.
This estimate was given the Allies
by men officially described as good
Judges"
Starvation, cholera and other dis
eases arising from bad sanitation and
malnutrltion, and slaughters OF con-
nictlng groups OF Russians, were the
causes that would take the terrible toll
OF human life, according to the infor-
nation furnished the Allies.
THESE figures were In the hands OF
the Allied diplomats before the Allied
warships and troops were sent 10 the
Thurman coast, and OF course before
the decision for Intervention In Siberia.
According TO the British view. while
Alhed intervention viii thus be
mercy expedition, the Allies will be in
a most favorable position with the
Russian millions, II. by some sort OF
organization, they can bring relief TO
the people, after the chaos that the
Germans and their tools among the Boil
sheviki stirred up.
In this connection it should be re-
membered that agreement between tne
Allies and the Murman Council pro-
vldes that the people are TO be furnish
ed with food and financial assistance
from Allied countries.
Intervention therefore comes at a.
