 .The only possible cure for the pres ent trouble in Russia is that an allied force be landed immediately in the south, z he said. .The dsorganized old, Russian army could rally around this force. The United States probably is in position to give the greatest help If will cost the allies less now than later because the bolsheviki daily are growing in strength. owing to the indecision of their oppo- nents
 The entry of allied forces would save hundreds of thousands of lives this win ter because the people will starve unless the civil war is ended and the trans portation of food to central Russia re- sumed"
 M Milukoff and other members of his party painted dark picture of the dis orders in south Russia which the bol- sheviki are unable to control The only military force is army from the Cau- casus which has little fighting capacity It is composed of Cossacks and officers of the old imperial regime.
