7 ,ONDON, June 2s.-The West

editorial to-day commenting on
the appeal of Alexander +.
Kerensky, formerly Russian
Premier, for Entente allied as
sistance in Russia, urges the AL
lies to move very cautiously in
anything approaching interven-
ton.
"We cannot be surprised if
the allied Governments. and
particularly President Wilson,
desire the ground to be-earefully
explored first" the newspaper
says. "A serious mistake in this
matter might have the gravest
consequences. because the Ger
mans may be trusted to exploit
to the utmost any opening that is
given them.
"Their one opportunity of re-
storing the balance of man power
is the use Of the Bolsheviki to
bring the Russian masses to their
side and SO draw on them to re-
plenish Germany's diminishing
forces. They will raise the cry
that Russia is being threatened
by foreign invader, and before
We give them this pretext we
should be very sure that our
Intervention Is desired by the
mass of the Russians"

Many names are under consideration by
the President and his advisers.
Hugh Gordon Miller. New York at

to suggest the names OF former Presi-

White of the Supreme Court and William
j. Bryan to head the commission. 1t is
reasonably certain that none OF them
will be chosen.
Selection Of the commercial and IN
dustrial members has been left to Secre-
tary Redfield. The labor men will be
picked by Secretary Wilson and the
agricultural experts by Secretary
Houston. Secretary Baker is at work on
the arrangements for the military force
that Is to escort tho commission into
Siberia. The escort will be largely con-
stituted of stan and construction men
such as the railway unit first sent to
Russia No high army officer will go with
the commission, so as to avoid giving it
pronounced military aspect. 1t will
in no sense be al eXpeditonary force.
though the number of men will be large.
Wherever possible men who have
mastery Of language sufficient to reach
the Russian people are being selected
for the commission. No man will go
VINO cannot at least speak French
Caution is being exercised to pick men
who can act independently. They must
be trusted with wide discretionary
powers, because 1t Is considered possible
that the members may scatter over a
large territory TO help solve the prob

Duke Nicholas as Emperor of Russis
He safd he believed all these repo! is
were false.
Disbelief in the reported overthrow
Of the Bolsheviki is not confined. how
ever to officials Of the Soviets and their
synipathizers. A we'll known Russian
diplomat now In London who has been
in the Russian public service for a
quarter OF century and is close

il was impossible that KornilofY should
be acting with Germany As to Gen

doubtful If the Grand Duke Nicholas
would have anything to do with Ger

STRENGTH LIES

"Germans Can Drive Us
Back, But What Good
Will It Do7"
(By Associated Press.1

London, Jan. THE Bolsheyiki
are definitely strengthening the
front, Petrograd advices say. The
correspondent of The Daily News
obtained this information from NJ.
Radek, one of the Russian delegates
who took a prominent part in the
negotiations with the Austrians and
Germans at Petrograd. He said the
Bolshevikt were intending to send
home all who did not wish to fight, so
that they would have an army which
was willing to fight for an ideal.
The correspondent asked what
would be the attitude Of the Bolshe-
wiki in case of actual war, with re-
gard to help from the allies. NJ.
Radek replied:
I'VE do not desire their help. Our
strength lies in our weakness, and
IL we accepted help from the allies
the significance of our position
would be destroyed. The weaker wo
are the stronger we are. The Ger
mans can drive us back, but what
good would it do them?
'The country behind the front has
been stripped bare. There is not
enough there to feed a single horse.
The Germans will not wish millions
Of starving persons on their hands.
I'VE stand for a democratic peace.
So do the German working classes.
If the German government attacks
US it will display itself to its own
people in its true light"
