Consequently news received to-day
from Amba ssador Francis that the Boil
shevik Government at Moscow had
brought to that capital under arrest
the civil members of the local Duma at
Archansel, another Arctic port not far
distant from Eola, was a matter OF
grave concern.
As this news was delayed ten days
in reaching Washington II was realized
that many things may have happened
in the interim to change the situation.
but otherwise there would be good
reason to regard this action by the Mos
COW Government as distinctly unfriendly
toward the Entente Powers and taken
because the local authorities at Arch
angel had not resented the landing there
OF an international naval force to pro-
tect the military supplies.
1t appears, however, that the incident
may admit Of a more satisfactory expla-
nation and may be Of purely political
Importance. The Archangel Duma is
survival Of the old Kerensky regime and
II may be that the Bolshevik admins

sires to replace II by some of their own
partisans.
The situation Is being observed closely,
however by the Entente Powers as we'll
as the Washington authorities and II 1t
should develop that they and not the
local Duma are the objects OF attack.
under promptings OF the Germans, who
are debating to the Bolsheviki and have
been striving to anticipate and prevent
the extension OF Entente ideas and in
fiuence in Russia, then some definite ac-
ton is likely to be agreed upon through
the consultations now in progress to
meet this condition

ana absence OF any impelling desire for

the condition in Japan. which Is due in
part to opposition to intervention. but

rise to unending speculation. Some Of
the leading newspapers claim that the

It's views against intervention at all. but

This body has no executive power,
fact which was plainly stated at the

mission OF both the Prime Minister and
the Minister Of Foreign Affairs II is
now in favor OF Intervention.
The conflict IL not confined to the
diplomatists and politicians of the Allies,

The press has come to treat the dis

hopeless to expect an agreement. One
or two Toxic editors show real vision

Japan should German thought and ideas
be allowed to prevail in the East. Among
