From the roofs OF tall buildings in

four miles out of the city, but whether
these were Federals or rebels could not
be ascertaiped. Soldiers in the trenches

were engaged in battle practice.
SO far as Is definitely known, the
nearest rebels are at Guadalupe, 30
miles east of Juarez, where Generals Fee

Lopez have large force of cavalry.
The country occupied by rebels is we'll

MOROCCO-BRAZIL
FLIGHT ABANDONED
French Aviator Forced to

PARIS, June TO- Lieut.. Roget. the
french aviator who on May 20 took the
air at Villacoublay in an attempt to fly
to Morocco from which country he planned
to cross the Atlantic to Brazil, arrived
In Paris to-day from Kenitra, about
twenty miles from Rabat, where he dam,
aged his machine SO badly in landing
that the proposed transatlantic flight had
to be abandoned.
According to my map" said Lieut..
Roget. the exact distance we covered
was 2.o10 kllometers U,2sS miles), at an
average speed of $50 kilometers ola
miles) an hour"
Lieut. Roget asserted that his ma
chine was standard one not specially
made for the flight, except that a
greater reservoir to allow the machine
to carry more fuel had been installed.
Inc French press has credited
Roget with having beaten the record of
Lieutenant-Com Albert C. Read
In flying the American seaplane NC-4
from Newfoundland to the Azores. This
statement was later discredited by the
constructor OF the plane in which Lieut..
Roget made his flight, who pointed out
that Roget started his flight from a point
several kilometers south of Paris and
landed before reaching Rabat. and thus
had covered but approximately 1.1l6
miles.
The NC-4 flew 1880 miles from Ire

SEES RECOGNITION NEAR

OMsK, June (Russian Telegram hic
Agency; delayed) The congress of the
Constitutional Democratic party ad-
journed tonight. after adopting a reso-
luton denouncing Bolshevism, and de-
claring that the regeneration OF Russia
Is possible only through cooperation be-
tween Russia and the Allies. The reso-
luton reaos:
The congress affirms the traditional
foreign policy of the party. The re-
generation OF free and united Russia is
possible only through close cooperation
between Russian and the Allies. The
congress believes that now. after the de.
feat Of German militarism, Bolshevism
Is the enemy of humanity, and peace Is
impossible until this enemy Is destroyed.
THE nations must unite In the strug-
gle against the dark forces of anarchy
for the principles of right and civiliza-
ton. The gallant Russian armies, strug-
Cling against Bolshevism, perform SER
vice of great international Importance, a
service which must be acknowledged and
appreciated by the civilized nations
throughout the world"
At the closing session the chairman of
the congress said:
Our struggle is not only for the re-
generation of Russia. In struggling
against Bolshevism, we defend civiliza-
ton and democratic principles. There
cannot be any return to the old. Rus
sis of the future will be built on prin-
clples of law. order and democracy. The
aim of our gallant army is TO reach
Moscow, and 1t is the duty of all the
parties and classes of the Russian peo-
pic to support the Government and the
army In their great task"
The Union of Zemstvos of the Govern
ment of Ufa has sent a telegram to
Acmiral Kolchak, head of the All-Rus-
sian Government, congratulating him
upon the liberation from Bolsheviki
terror.
The Siberian press comments favor
ably on the possibility of recognition of
the All Russian Government by the al
lied and associated Powers.
ut took six months for the Allies to
understand the necessity OF recognizing
the 0msk Government" the Otetchest
Venniyd Vfedomosti says. at is evident
that such recognition will produce a

WAsHINGToN, June 10.-By vote Of
3o6 to the House to-day. after a short
debate. passed the bill appropriatins
$75o.000,000 for the Railroad Admins
tration. No formal effort was made to
amend the bill so as to give Director
General Hines the $1,000 600, 900 he de-
sired instead OF the $75O,000 900 the
Appropriations Committee approved and
the House Endorsed. A few Democrats,
however, suggested when the bill was
discussed that Mr.. Hines receive all he
asked.
The plea of the committee, however,
that II the future shows the Railroad
Administration needs further funds they
can easily be given prevented the offer
ing of amendments to increase the
amount. The four who voted against
the bill were Representatives Thomas
(Ky), Democrat, and Ramseyer (Ia.) T.,
Anthony tKan) and woodward (W.
Va-), Republicans
Representative Good (Iowa). chair
man of the Appropriations Committee,
made the principal speech in its sup
port, saying that while Congress had
been asked for $1,000, 100000 it must
pay some regard to the condition of the
United States Treasury. He pointed out
that while the daily statement of the
Treasury shows a balance Of s1,702 ,000.-
900 there Is outstanding against that
balance s1,759,17S,000. so that IL these
outstanding credits were paid on that
particular day the Government would
have had a deficit of more than $780,
100000. He said the last Liberty Loan
enough to pay the banks when outstand-
in % IN
due.
Now" ne said when the committee
reported out this amount It was In reali-
zation that the War Finance Corpora
ton. which has already advanced the
Railroad Administration and various
railroads about $500. 900. would still
be in existence with 500. 000, 900 Assets
and willing and able at all times to help
the railroad companies.
I'VE had in mind the Treasury OF the
United States and its condition. Having
these things In mind. realizing that this
Congress will be in session until the
snow flies and after, It was the deliberate
judgment of your committee that we
could we'll AFFORD now to appropriate for
the immediate necessities Of the Rail
road Administration, leaving until some
later date. when we will have a more
complete statement in regard to the op-
GRAFTON. Just what will be necessary tC
90. l have no doubt that the patriotism
OF the membership of this House will
always rise to necessities and see to II
that the credit OF the United States H.
maintained and at all hazards when the
time comes. as / have no doubt It will
come within the next few months, when
an additional appropriation win be neces-
sary.
1T is the judgment OF your COMMITTEES
that 75o,0o0,000 cannot be expended by
the Railroad Administration within the
next ninety days unless there is waste
and extravaganza In expenditures
Therefore, I feel that Congress cannot
AFFORD at this time to appropriate more
than $3.50, 600, 900 for this purpose"

BoLSHEvIKI DIG OWN GRAVE.
L. s. Relief OmciaI Tells OF Execu-
tions by Germans in Rigf.


PARIS. June 10.-Capt. Howell For
man, at the Baltic headquarters OF the
American relief administration. situated
a; Libau, has written to the Paris head
quarters a graphic description of the
scenes in the Baltic sections from which
the Bolsheviki have been expelled De-
asribing the conditions the Americans
found in Riga, Capt Forman says:
Among the sights l saw was the
shooting of eighteen Bolsheviki, three at
a time. by a German firing squad. 1t
was German efficiency at its best. A
ditch was dug by Bolshevki awaiting
trial, and the other wretches, already
condemned came up three at a time as
their names were called.
The condemned men stood with the
heels at the edge of the ditch, and with
their eyes unblindfolded faced their ex-
ecutioners-nine hard German soldiers,
TWO Of whom fired at each condemned
mans head and one at each heart.
After the last three men had tumbled
into the hole that had been dug for
them Bolshevists awaiting trial threw a
few shovelsful Of dirt into the grave and
then were led back to prison.
