RUSS SADLY DIVIDED.
Difficulties Deset Government Of North
and Allied Advisors.

ICorrespondence OF Associated Press. ]
Archangel, Sept. iS.-Difficulty be-
sets the government OF the north and
its allied advisors in their attempt to
bring order out Of chaos of nine
months Of Bolshevik regime In the
Archangel province. Slowly but sure
ly the task is going forward but no
one denies it is difficult job.
One problem the allies confront Is
how to arouse. the Russians to work
for their own regeneration and TO join
in the task Of shaking off the grip OF
the Bolsheviki. Urging them to do so,
the Sivernoie Utro, published here
says:
1.-THE French, British and American
soldiers came here from all parts OF
the world to fight for the freedom and
happiness of this country.The Russian
people look upon the allies with envy
with the eyes Of a beggar watching a
rich neighbor. and they are making
but little effort to strive for a happier
and freer life. They expect that the
others, the allies for instance. will
fight for them"
Russia Is now divided into two
camps" declares the Voxroshdenie
Sievera. "One is on the side of the
monarchists. the bolsheviki and the
Germans: the other all the democratic
elements Of Russia supported by the
allies. The bolsheviki try to persuade
the population that the allied inter-
vention aims to restore monarchy but
the facts show the contrary. Russia
must fully realize that the aims Of the
allies Is to lend their assistance for the
regeneration of Russia on sound and
democratic basis.

The dent the allies are making south

In this connection It is pointed out,
the Germans are fighting we'll immed-
lately south OF the Sensee. both to hold
/ up as long as possible the important
city OF falenciennes and to Keep the
Eallies' salient Shallow &c
Military experts are one in the
opinion that the Germans no lolger
will be able to Withstand the onslaught
with their weakened divisions, tired
troops and scanty reserves. But t.
trained militarsts signs Of a German
collapse or evidence on which to bear
high hopes Of trapping huge body OF
the enemy are invisible.

London. SPIT. ga belt OF the
Rhine valley. roughly $50 miles long,
from Cologne In the north to the grand
duchy of Baden In the south, a region
crowded with war Industries and in
tcrscctcd by railway system OF vital
strategic Importance to the German
army In France. Is now a definite part
OF the war zone. This Is one OF the
most striking and significant develop
ments OF the allied campaign. and how
big are It's possibilities may be gagged
by the vast damage both physical and
moral. already inflicted upon the
enemy. II is the achievement OF the
royal air force.
over that region in the last three
months the airmen. operating day ana
night. have made 2ts raids, dropping
2G7 tons OF bombs upon enemy railway
ccntcrs. munition works, poison gas
factories, electrical and engineering
plants. blast furnaces, aerodromes,
and other important military objec-
tivcs.
The effects OF these raids have been
of incaiculablc, benefit to the allies.
One of then first was the compulsory
withdrawal by the Germans of large
number of their airplanes from the
fighting front for the defense OF the
Rhine.
But greater gain ha1 been the pro-
found and widespread depression
caused to the German people, the
"houe 'front.'" to use the phrase OF
Ludendorff. Captured letters from
places as widely separated as Mann
helm and Cologne testify to the terror
and panic inspired by the raids among
the civil population. Well-to-do
families, in increasing numbers. are
seeking the temporary security of
more distant inland towns. There arc
indications that the fight of the
wealthy is causing intense resentment
among the working population who,
being for the most part engaged in
war industries. arc exposed to almost
nightly danger from the raiders.
But the terror of the German
populace Is not confined to the terri
tory actually added to the war zone.
1t exists thruout the country. parti-
cularly in far-distant Berlin where
preparations already have been made
to defend the city against raids.

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct. lS.-The APP
peals of three officials of the Farmers
and Laborers' Protective Association

after trial that stirred the whole
southwest. will be presented before the
United States circuit court of appeals
here next month.
The men were convicted of conspi
racy against the government and theil
organization had for it's insignia &C
cording to District Attorney Odell. a
leather strap to represent the slavery
of the worker, a dirk as an incentive
to self protection and pistol as a
mark of emnity to capital.

Risley, president, and Samuel j. Powell
secretary, lasted six weeks and more
TIM 500 witnesses were examined
Thirty seven others named in the in.
dictment We're acquitted.
The count on which the three were
found guilty charged conspiracy &c
overthrow and destroy by force the
government of the United States and
to'levy war against it. Charges that q
wholesale plan had been evolved tc
obstruct the selective service, law. then
before congress, were advanced at tho
trial.
1t was charged that plans were made
at meetings to kill consumption Off
GERS: that members were urged to buy
high powered rifles: that it was pro-
posed to blow up railroads and take
control OF telephone and telegraph
lines as a means OF retarding the
raising Of an army.
One witness testified that the plans
had been considered for dynamitine
troop trains, looting banks and sup
ply houses. He said this plan had been
abandoned in favor Of arming all the
members for resistance and the eX-
tension Of organizations to Texas, Ok
lahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas.
In explaining why members had
armed themselves. defense witnesses
said they had expected Texas to be in
vaded by Mexicans II the United States

the guns were for their protection.
