Written under date of April 2S, Mr..

u. S. Officials Seek
Best Way to Help
Russ in Her Troubles

Washington, May 23.-In an effort
to help Russia. officials here are
giving consideration to several pro-
posals. One phase of the program
| contemplates the restoration of the
Trans-siberian railway so as to in
sure the better shipment of relief
supplies through Siberia into Euro
pean Russia. Members and engi-
neers of the American Railway Com
mission, who went to Japan when
the Bolshevik government obtained
control. are reported to be returning
to Siberia with the intention of go
ing to Vologda. where the Bolshevik
government has been established and
where David r. Francis, the Amer
lean Ambassador. and other Allied
diplomatic representatives are now
residing. The Commission will con-
suit with Ambassador Francis with a
view to arranging a plan for improv-
ing Siberian railway facilities.
Another scheme, said to be under
serious consideration, contemplates
| the effective use of the American
Red Cross in relieving. distress in
| Russian territory. The government
is said also to be considering a pro-
posal to purchase war supplies avail
able in Russia in order to prevent
them from falling into the posses
sion of Germany. An enormous eX-
penditure of money would be re-
quired for this purpose.
The supplies reported to be avail
able include cotton and oil. Germany
needs these commodities badly and
Will go to extremes to obtain them.
The object of these several schemes
to aid Russia is to relieve the dis
tress in that country with the pos
sible advantage of earning the graft
tude of the Russian people, who
might be disposed to show a friendly
! feeling toward the United States and
the Allies in the struggle with the
| Central Powers.
Former Premier Kerensky's Trip
1t Is believed in well-informed cir
cies here that the movements of
Alexander Kerensky, technically
Premier of Russia, whose provisional
government was deprived of power
by the Bolsheviki, are connected with
the plans of the Allies concerning
Russia. The most generally accepted
view Is that IL Kerensky comes to
the United States he will proceed to
San Francisco and there take ship
for Siberia, where the conservative
elements of Russia are reported to
be gathering. the conservatives in
Russia to-day including Social Revo-
lutionists as we'll as Constitutional
Democrats.
At the State Department also it was
declared that nothing was known of
the former Russian revolutionary
leader, but it was added that he
might be travelling under an assum-
ed name. In diplomatic circles II
was asserted that the Allied and
American governments, as we'll as
! Russian diplomats, would naturally
| desire to conceal the activities and
| movements of Kerensky, if his ad-
vice is to be sought in bringing
about a new state of affairs in Rus
