GOLD SEVENTH" PRAISED

Robert De Main Mountsier, acting
for the Atlantic Division Of the Red
Cross. made public yesterday an inter-
view with Major-Gen. John F. O'Ryan,
the Twenty-seventh's commander in
the big fight that demolished the Hin
denburg line. The final word Of praise
for the division uttered by Gen.
O'Ryan was: We have not been
troubled with skulkers. shirkers or
dead beats in action"
There Is not much doubt of the
pride felt by Gen. Organ in the battle
record of his division of New York
fighting men. He spoke particularly
of the record made by the l07th In
fantry, the nucleus of which was New
York citys famous old Seventh Regi-
ment. and he said it was impossible to
recall the exploits of the Seventh with
out using superlatives.

1t took but a few minutes for the
interpreter to read the resolution in
French and English. Then President
Wilson arose and remarkable still
ness fell upon the great gathering as
it realized the significance OF what
was about to occur. Premier Clemen-

turned squarely around, edging up

with his eyes fixed upon the President.
The light from one of the great crystal
chandeliers above fell full upon the
Presidents face as he lowered above
the hunched form of the little French
Premier.
The President was unusually pale
but as he proceeded his face at times
became impassioned and his voice
usually under perfect control, trembled
, occasionally. II was easy TO see that
he was making one of the great cf-
forts OF his life. He spoke without
notes and gesticulated frequently
Even those who did not understand
English appeared to be spellbound.

GOVERNMENT Of
SOUTH RUSSIA
IS CONSIDERED
Entente to Take Part in Con-
ferences for Establishment
of New Republic.
tBy Associated Press,

LONDON, Jan. 14.-It is reported
here that conferences soon will be
held in the south OF Russia in which
will participate representatives Of the
various Entente powers, representa-
tives CT the Ukraine government, the
Don Cossacks, the Orenburg Cossacks
and the provisional governments of
Armenia and Georgia. Their purpose
will be to reach an understanding as
TO the creation OF government in
south Russia, the Caucasus and the
Trans Caucasus, with which the En-
tente powers can cooperate in restor-
ing normal economic, social and po-
litical conditions.
Although the Bolsheviki have many
followers throughout the Ukraine. they
never were predominant. even in the
shipbuilding cities OF the Black Sea.
In the Don region and in the Caucasus
and Trans-Caucasus their hold has
been even slighter. Cossacks OF all
sorts have been enemies of the Boil
sheviki, as they are all landholders
and unalterably opposed to the domin-
alton of their districts by outsiders.
Many British naval and military
officers, as well as civil officials have
left London for the Black Sea district
since the signing of the armistice and
commercial interests are also sending
representatives to look the situation
over preparatory to opening up the ex-
tensive oil and grain districts.
UnfriendIness Grows.
Siberia, the Ukraine, Finland and
the new government at Archangel shut
Bolshevik Russia off entirely from its
ports, and the unfriendliness of the
government in all these sections to the
Moscow government under Lenine is
daily increasing the strain on soviet
Russia. The new governments in
these various sections which have re-
fused to accept Bolshevism are not as
stable as the Entente powers might
wish. While they all express their de-
sire to become part of Russia should
federation become possible under an
acceptable central government, the
political differences in all the four sec
tons named have been keen, and
party ouarrels and the ambition of
rival leaders have frequently exceeded
patriotism In the struggle for power.

HUN AGENTS IN
MEXICO ACTIVE
At WARS END
Propaganda Used in Effort to
Preserve German Prestige
in South America.
fBy Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 14.-Germauy' S
surrender served only to spur German
propagandists in Mexico to loftier
heights of mendacity In country
where access to news Is freer than II
Is in Mexico, their lies would soon
prove boomerangs. but in this country
despite their clumsy subterfuges, the
propagandists met with some success
in befogging the issue OF real victory
In this they were aided by the fact
that the first report Of the signing oil
the armistice on Nov. was false. Ad
mission Of this fact by pro-ally papers
gave the German agents a hook on
which to hang charges that subse.
Quent reports also were without basis
in truth.
The out and out pro-German papers
asserted that the armistice terms ia
yored Germany. They admitted that
the German fleet was held in British
waters. but declared that 1t had not
surrendered" but was being held
only until peace was concluded and
as an artistic touch. modestly claimed
that the 400 allied warships 'saluted
the German engines OF war at the In
ternment." The surrender OF Ger
mans submarines was passed over as
lightly as possible.

According to the pro-German period

was ready at any moment to give bat
tie to the Allied fleets. That this
propaganda is intended. not for mill
tary purposes, but to preserve the tat
tered rags OF German prestige in Mexi-
CO for after the war trade purposes,
is indicated by an article in one Ger
man paper warning Mexico to beware
Of British goods.
One pro-German organ which has at
times reported acts calculated to stir
up hostile feeling against the United
States, is preparing a way out should
German support completely vanish by
publishing another paper. called I'm
parcial, and which treats the Allies
with gentleness and apparently is
adopting an attitude of "disinterested
neutrality" which words appear to be
the favorites of the anti-ally journal
ist since Germany's capitulation.
