K0LCHAK BETTERS POSITION
BY the Associated Press

Paris. Sept. 24.-Thc attempt by
Bolsbevists to negotiate peace with Es-
thonia and Letvia aud Indications that
the Poles and the forces OF General
Denikin, the anti Bolsheyist leader in
South Russia, soon may establish com
munication and co ordinate their ct
forts in fighting the Rolshevists in the
Ukraine, have revived interest in the
Russian situation among the Pcac"
Conference delegates. many of whom
have said that they arc puzzled by con
Hicting statements from representatives
of the great powers as TO the policies
of their governments in dealing with
Russia.
The refusal of the German general.
Won Der COLI, to obey the orders Of
the Peace Conference that he CvaCuatC
the Baltic provinces of Russia and
Germauy's declaration that she cannot
be responsible for his movements leave
the conference for the moment in a
HELPLESS position. as there is u" dis
position to ask tho Poles. who already
Sse engaged, to cxpcl Won Der Goltz.
and no other nation has forces avail
a6ie.
Tho Poles already arc so busy with
the Bolshevists and SO unsettled AT
home that the great powers apparently
are unwilling 10 impose moro military
burdens on them. In fact, the general
opinion among members Of tho su-
preme council is that Poland cannot do
fhe creative work necessary to stabilize
Its government unless 1t rapidly ceases
fighting, and that il the Poles wcrc
sent into the Baltic states thcrc Is
danger that they might not want to
leave again. as the aspirations Of many
Polish politicians embrace RusSia s
Baltic coast.
American officers. recently returned
from Letvia, express th" belief that
Won de" Got2 soon will retire from that
part of Russia and let the local popu
lation work ont its problems, which arc
largely agrarian. But There also is
doubt whether the Baltic states will hC
able to keep up successfully their rc-
sistance to the Bolshevists unless the

tinue to keep Leon Trotzky, tho Bol-
shevist minister of var. employed in
