under Turkish rule must have their

Turkey can remain ungoverned in the

for this is one of the tasks of the
league of nations.
"Now that almost every nation in

to keep the Turk alive as nation,
don't let the United States, through
mistaken sentimentality or for fear of
a little additional argument, fall into
the same error. Turkey is not reform
able. Her vitality is exhausted She is
not sick. She has disintegrated and
passed away.
"The Turks must now carry away
their abuses in the only possible man
ner, namely, by carrying away them
selves. The Turks and their abuses
must be confined in some district where
they can prey on one another, but not
on others. If they must 'turkify' some
hing, let them 'turkify' themselves"

On Old Russia
Advancing Force Is Nearing
Junction With Archangcl
Government Troops Near
Border: Seize Reds Flour

ARCHANGEL, Jan. Il By The AS
sociated Press .-.The Siberian army is
nearing a junction with the forces of
the Archaugel government in the
Arctic Plethora district near the ST.
berian border. According to a tele-
gram received by General Marush-
cwsky, governor general of the region
Of the North. to-day, General Marti-
noff, Siberian plenipotentiary, has
arrived at Ust Tzlma. on the Plethora
River, whore he located a detachment
of the northern forces.
General Martinoff arrived in advance
OF the Siberian troops. He reported
they were marching northwcstward
from Perm through the frozen Mundra
territory. He said they already had
taken the village of Lapna on the
other side of the Ural Mountains,
about 275 miles away. and were
marching toward the Plethora River.

Prisoners Released
In Botsheuik Plot
Return. and Are SL0iiy,

VLADIVOSTOK, Jan. II (By The As
sociated Press) ).-Of the prisoners re-
leased from jail at Omsk as the result
of an abortive Bolshevik plot late in
December, nine of those who volun-
tarily returned were killed by the
military without the knowledge of Ad-
miral Kolchak, the supreme governor
Of the Omsk government, or of his
ministers, according to information
that has just come to light.
The motive of the executions is OBJ
scurc, but the inclusion among the
nine victims of several important mem
bcrs Of the Constituent Assembly,
prominent journalists and public lead
crs, points, in the minds Of many, to
the use of Bolshevik methods Of in
timidation and suppression Of the idea
Of Constituent Assembly.
When the jail was opened, on the
night of December %, the political
prisoners at first refused to leave their
cells. 1t is said they were threatened
with being shot If they persisted.
They were told, it is reported, that
the authority Of Omsk had been seized
by the Bolsheviki.
The following day, when 1t became
clear that the plot had failed, the gov
ernment issued a proclamation urging
those who had been released to return
TO prison under pain Of court matria.
The military authorities and the Min
ister Of Justice appealed to the rcla-
tives Of the men released, advising
tbeir immediate return, and the fugi-
tiyes were brought to prison by their
wives. relatives and acquaintances.
At 3 o'clock in the morning Of De-
cember "a an automobile stopped at
the jail and took away nine of the
prisoners. All Of these have since
corr pletcly disappeared. When the
facts became known to the Council Of
Ministers the supreme ruler, Admiral
Kolchak, sent special detachment Of
soldiers to guard the prison.
