United People Is Distracted
Nations Only Hope For

By Joseph veksler shaplen.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Stockholm, July Although the 4th
year Of the war was marked by the
complete disorganization of Russia, both
military and politically, the country was
really out of the war in 1916, when more
than million soldiers deserted from the
army. Only the Czarist censorship pre-
vented the truth from becoming known
to the world at that time
The tremendous shaking up Of the
already disorganized national fabric
caused by the revolution, in addition to
he many complications both internal
and external from which the revolution
found itself unable to escape-when
peace was most needed in order to solve
these numerous problems and repair the
terrible consequences of war-opened
the road to Bolshevism and threw Rus
sia into the clutches of German Imper-
ialism, whose seal was finally set with
the Brest-Litoysk treaty.
So far as military operations in the
war 1918 are concerned, there wcr2
hardly any worth the name with the ex
ccption Of Korndorff s drive towards
Halciz. which really belongs to the end
of the third year Of the war. This Of

on account OF prcss're brought to bear

Washington, July 25.-0n the eve of
expected action in Siberia, the alhcs are
confronted by demands for recognition
from new anti-bolshevik governments
springing up all over Russia.
1t is indicated in diplomatic quart ers
however, that tho allies viii pursue a
course of officially recognizing no pa.'
ticular government but work through
the people as whole.
A visit by President Wilson to the
state department today plus unusual re-
ticence within the department on the
subject of the Siberian project, led to
belief that Japan has officially reported
on her attitude toward the plan and that
the first move in the aid-to- Russia pro-
gram is about to To taken. Advance
information OH Japan's reply indicated
it would be favorable.
While the President was still closeted
with Acting Secretary Polk, they wens
joined by Secretary Baker. The British
ambassador Lord Reading, arrived later.
1t was believed he desired word of ia
pan 3 action.
That the allies have already extended
aid to the Czech-Slovaks, was learned
today. Large numbers of French Off
GERS have arrived in Vladivostok and
some have taken command of Czechh
brigades. Financial aid has been ex-
tended through these officers by the
French government, it was said
The Czechs also have been armed and
supplied with guns and munitions taken
from the huge stores ct Vladivostok.
Continued successes in localities domi-
mated by the Czechs are reported in ad-

Paris, July 25,-Germany's despera-
tion in ruthlessly sacrificing her man
power, time and material by throwing
in division after division to be chewed
up ON the scissors Rhiems front, IS due
to four reasons:
First, the allied smashes around the
ring eneireling the Germans aIe giving
the former the initiative at moment
when II disrupts the carefully laid sum
mer campaign which Ludendorff promis-
ed would bring victory and peace,
Second, Foch is using up the Ger

tions, which he is trying to save by
throwing in fresh divisions.
Even were the allies to be stopped
now, they have accomplished far more
than they intended when they started
their counter blow.
Meanwhile the French. Americans and
British are methodically pushing on,
meter by meter, kilometer by kilomcter,
while Ludendorff is putting in dlvis-
ions from other parts of the line which
had ocen figured in the Germans plans
for the coming weeks. The enemy must
now reconstruct his whole plan of cam
paign if he would recapture the initia-
tive. The desperation of the Germans is
illustrated at Hill 1913, where the Amcri-
cans repulsed eleven attacks in one day
and took nine hundred prisoners.
