U4SHINCTON SEES HOPE
IN COUP At OWSK

Washington. Nov. 21.-News OF the
coup at Omsk by which Admiral kol-
chalk virtually has become dictator of
Me all-Russian forces is regarded at
the State Department as another sign
pointing to stabilization Of the movement
for the relief and regeneration of Rus
sia-
The great weakness in the situation
in Siberia, it has been believed for
some time, Is the lack of powerful
head of the government who cannot
be swayed by popular demonstrations
and who will work toward the recon-
struction OF the government with a firm
hand Admiral kolchak is thought to
he a man who will not misuse his au-
thority and whose hostility toward the
Bolshevik elements which have led to
the disruption of the country Is strong.
The jurisdiction of the Omsk gov
ernment extends to large section OF
Russians to the west who have been
affected by the Bolshevik doctrines that
spread from the German intrigues with
Len!ne, Trotsky and their followers.
The very fact that the members of the
Omsk government, which now has been
overturned were duly elected members
of the constitutional assembly, Is said
to have worked against the firm es-
tablishment of u stable government.

Slgismund Bergman, who is said to
have once been connected with Thomas
A. Edison and to have been one of the
founders of the General Electric Com

now one of the leading industralists in
Germany, said:
"On the second day of the revolution

Of which we have enough booked to keep
our sixty thousand employees busy for
two years.
's"This holds good for virtually every
plant of any importance in Germany.
The country has been literally worn
threadbare in all lines. Just as we have
been turning our garments inside out
we have helped ourselves along with a
multitude of substitute devices in other

I'VE are badly in need of rolling

In all Europe. She was crowned on her
eighteenth birthday in 1912. The father

did her little good. however, for the

The success of the coup. IN the opin-
ion Of General Eorvath, rests with the

of the rev order. since the personnel of
the ministery and the policy Of the gov

board his sword, which the Japanese had
left him when the Russian evacuated
Port Arthur In the Russo-Japanese War.
Later in 1917 he visited this country at
the head of naval commission from
the Kerensky Government and discussed d
