Lieut.. General Roop, Head
OF Russian War Mission,
Leaves u. S. IL, Ten DAYS
[StuF COivesDo0dence1

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Leutenant
General Vladimir Roop, head of the
Russian Military Mission to the United
States, who has been in this country
nearly year, will sail, with two of
his aids, for Russia within ten days.
He will be accompanied by Captain
Corniiy Shut and Lieutenant Dmitri
Martinotf. Their exact destination and
route are withheld on account of pos
siblc value Of this information to the
eMamy.
General Roop has said farewell to
Secretary of State Lansing and to the
War Department officials. He told
them that he came here to serve Rus
sia, and, having been here nearly a
year, and the opportunities of service
being limited here on account of the
conditions in Russia, he is returning
to that country to participate in it's
reconstruction.
1t is not known whether General
Roop has planned any organized move
ment, but it is not. thought that he
will tender his services to the Bolshe-
vik government, with which he is be-
lieved to be wholly out of sympathy.
He is one of Russias most distin-
guished soldiers, having been a corps
commander, a Knight Of st. Georges
Cross, and for almost three years
served at the front during the present

Russian Diplomats
Call Bolsheuiss7,
"A Fatal MoIad,
staff CorYespondcnce1

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Russian
diplomats here now predict COM
plctc failure of the Bolshevik plan
for organizing an army of 100000
men, asserting that they doubt the
sincerity Of the Maxmalist govern
mcnts profcsscd intentions. A Rus
sian official said:
"Bolshevism is a Sickness 1t must
be and is running its course. Nothing
as the months it has been in control
Of the governmental functions Of the
nation have proved nothing except that
it is incapable of any except de-
structive work.
"Advices just received from Russia
indicate that the Bolsheviki have made
oVcrturcs TO other parties and have
been rcbutfed. They cannot extend
their power nor prolong their regime
with the cooperation Of any other party
or faction, as all regard Bolshcvsm as
a fatal malady, which is not to be
TOUCHED. but which will die out.
Recent statements made by Leon
Trotzky might seem to indicate that
thcrc IS prospect Of u coalition
Cabinet. That is impossible. Every
party has taken q final stand on that
question. and all have decided against
1t. The Socialists are even moro Bit
terly hostile to the Bolshoviki than
inc mlddIe and upper class parties.
"For several months the Russian
masses have been dazcd by the start
ling march of events. They had be-
llevcd in the promises of the Bolshe-
Wiki. had trusted them and confdcd
everything to them. They are begin
nlng to realize now their terrible
error, and situation soon will exist
IN which the overthrow Of the Bolshc
Wiki will be involved.
ut cannot be foretold how the
change will be effected, but it is pos
sible that it viii be as sudden as the
ascent of the Maxmalists to power
There are forces at work in Russia
constantly toward this universally de-
sired end. and when the proper moment
comes the whole nation will rally to
\ them"

Caucasus After
Clearing Armenia
Ancient Frontier Is Crossed
After Violent Fighting,
Constantinople Says

CONSTANTINOPLE, April (via
London), April 7.-Turksh troops arc
advancing over wide front in the
Caucasus, says an official statement is
sued to-day by the Turkish War Office
virtually all of Turkish Armenia having
been cleared of the Russians
After violent fighting, the announce
ment says, the Turks occupied Arda han
and positions west of Sarikamish, Rus
sian towns in Transcaucasia, and they
crossed the ancient Ruso- Turkish from
tier in the direction of Batum, on the
Black Sea. The text reads:
Palestine-ln the coast sector, as
far as Purdani. there was a violent ex-
change of artillery fire.
Caucasus - Our troops continued
their forward march on a wide front
AS the result Of violent fighting they
occupied the locality of Ardjish, on the
northern shore Of Lake Van, and carried
by assault strong advanced positions
west of Sarikamisl. We occupied Ar
dahan, capturing thirty-four mortars
and quantity of munitions. On the
shore of the Black Sea our troops
crossed the ancient frontier in the di-
rectlon of Batoum.
1t has never been made clear exactly
what forces are resisting the Turks.
The Armenians, it is known, have
maintained brave, though not well or
ganized, opposition. Recent cables
have said that the Georgians are assist
ing them There is shadowy separate
government in the Russian Caucasus,
though, like the rest of Russia, its
military power is non-existent. This
government refused to recognize the
treaty by which the Bolsheviki disposed

The retirement of the French to po-

which appears only TO those having the

"My reply is, perhaps they will. if
General Foch can smash more German
divisions by letting them in than by
keeping them out. Unbeatcn armies
are more important than towns, and
what has happened in this battle does
not show on the map.
"Germanys gains look like fat
juicy pear to the newspaper reader, but
the Kaiser knows how hollow it is at
the core.
General LudendorF is being fenced
with and hustled, not by our main
forces. but by little more than our
covering troops, and if it is no
time for Dragging and overconfdence,
neither is it the time for nervousness
over little fluctuations in the battle
fronts"
All those who approach the French
General Staff share the confidence of
this official.
Premier Clemenceau, returning from
his almost daily visits to the field of
operations, brings back the same note,
and he has earned new title, that of
coincidence barometer" That barom-
eter has been for many days fixed at
fair, and now it is rising.
General Foch, it is now generally
understood, will not be drawn by the
Germans, but will hold his reserves for
the moment chosen by him.
"Wait bit; wait Bit" Thus the
Entente Allied supreme commander re-
plies with q Characteristic sweep of his
arm when asked about the future.
General Foch's calm deliberation is
compared with the bearing of MARSHAL
Joffre before and during the Battle of
the Marne and this contributes no
little to confidence in his battle plans.

Nv Tun Assnciatcd prcssl

MOSCOW, April "a state of siege
has been proclaimed at Kharkov, capt.
tai of the province of Kharkov, 424
miles southwest Of Moscow. German
forces are approaching Kharkov.
a proclamation issued by the Boil
shcvik government says the soldiers OF
the first revolutionary detachment at
Orel arc outlaws, and are to be kept
under arrest as traitors to the rcvolu-
ton on account Of their dishonorable
behavior.
Foreign Minister Tchitchcrn, in his
protest to the Berlin government
against the landing of German troops
in Finland, characterizes it as vio-
lation of the Brest-Litovsk peace
treaty. He cautions Germany against
the further movement Of German war
ships in the direction Of Helsingfors
and the seizure of Russiani ports, say
ing that such acts may lead to sad
consequences for both sides.
Constitution Drafted
Tho Central Executive Committee of
the Russian Councils of Workmen' s
and Soldiers Delegates has drafted a
constitution for Socialist federated
republic. At a meeting of the COM
mittee Premier Lenine will deliver a
speech explaining the proposed new
governmental authority
With the approaching of planting
season the activities Of the Department
of Agriculture, as we'll as the Council
of National Economy, are centred in
supplying agricultural implements and
seeds to the DoaSantS
During the war the production of
agricultural machinery fell 80 per cent,
munitions work. The enemy's occupa-
tion of Russian territory reduced the
implement producing factories from
910 to $50. Four hundred have re-
sumed their original production, but
lack of metal has kept the others idle.
Farm Tools Ordered
A large order for agricultural ma
chinery amounting to 260, 100000 rublcs
has been placed by the Agricultural
Department in Russia and the United
States, and shipments are arriving at
Vladivostok.
The implements are exchanged for
seed, but the latter in many cases is
being consumed by the hungry popula-
ton, and the supply is fast being de-
pleted. Also, because of the lack Of
money, the acreage is expected to in
crease as the army dcmobilzcs. The
growing unemployment in the cities
also is releasing great number of
farm laborcrs.
