against the recognition Of the Omsk
Government has been that KoLcHkK
sought to reestablish Imperialism and
that for that reason he could not obtain
the support of the other anti Bolshe-
vik factions. He made definite
statement, however, in favor Of rep
resentative government; and that this
was accepted as a declaration of his
policy is apparently conclusive from
the fact that he has been offered the
support and cooperation Of General
DENIKINE and also of General TscHAI-
KowsKY, the President of the Northern
Russian Republic. 1t Is to enforces a
representative government that the
Peace Conference has made the rec
ignition of both KoLcHAK's and DEN
IKINE's Governments conditional and
has defined as the principal condi-
ton the convocation Of a Constituent
Assembly and the acceptance Of Its
decision as final.
The recognition of governments that
will be thus thoroughly representa-
tive Of the people and at the same
time have the backing Of Europe

The hospital ship Mercy, with 1856
lean Expeditionary Forces. arrived in
this port Sunday, completing her fifth
and final trip from Europe. Practi-
cally all the seriously wounded SOL
diers have been brought home. there
being now fewer than 100 stretcher
cases in France These sufferers can
be taken care Of in comfort on trans
ports, and the necessity for maintain
ing hospital ships Is thus ended.
A high percentage OF American SOL
dlers wounded In France recovered
and returned to duty. There has not
been a single so-called basket case"
or case in which a man has lost both
arms and both legs. although mali
cious or foolish gossips have spread
many reports to the contrary. The
number OF blinded men Is now fixed
at seventy-five, with strong hopes that
some of these may eventually recover
their sight. For these the Govern
ment will make provision. a fact gen.
erous men and women should bear in
mind when slick strangers make APP
peals in their behalf. 1t Is not pos
sible yet to give the final figures as
to the losses Of legs and arms, but
the number of men thus manned is
sma Her than is generally supposed.
The withdrawal Of the Mercy marks
practically the end of one phase OF
the retirement Of our military forces
from Europe. All Americans will be
relieved when the last OF our seriously
wounded have returned and been es-
tablished for treatment in the country
they served at such high cost and
whose gratitude TO them must never
lapse into indifference to their needs.

Recognition OF KOlchak's and Deni-
hne's Governments.

According to advices from Paris the
Council Of Four of the Peace Confer
ence has decided to recognize condi-
tionally the Governments of Admiral
KoIcHAK and General DENIKINE.
These represent the two strongest
anti Bolshevik parties In Russia; the
Kolchak Government became an Or
ganized power at Omsk in western
Siberia more than a year ago, and the
Denikine Government. which draws
its support from the people of the
Crimea and the Don Cossacks of the
volga region, has been from the first
an active and consistent opponent of
the Lenine and Trotzky rule.
The recognition of the Omsk Gov
eminent has been under discussion at
Paris since early in December. 1t was
believed to represent the most stable
anti Bolshevik element In the coun-
try and to be in its composition the
most thoroughly Russian. Admiral
KoLCHAK has especially endeavOred to
give this character to his Government
and his army he has formed his Min
istry from Russians Of recognized
ability, and sought the support Of
men Of affairs who were known to
the outside world. and he recruited
the army that he sent westward over
the Urals entirely from Russians,
leaving behind even the Czecho-Slo-
vaks. who had earlier been one of It's
chief sources of strength.
Great Britain and France in jan
nary sent representatives to the
KOlchak Government. 1t was from
the reports sent by those represen-
tatives that the conditions at Omsk
as we'll as the progress made by KoL-
CHAK's army became authoritatively
known to western Europe. These
reports likewise had the effect OF in
fiuencing France and Great Britain
in recognition of the Omsk Govern
ment. The United States later sent
ROLAND 8. MORRIS, American Ambas-
, sador to Japan, to make an official In
vestigation for this country. 1t was
said at the time. although not Off
cially, that the action of the United
States as regards recognition would
largely depend upon the report made
by Ambassador MORRIS.

THE FLIER,s SPIRIT.
That Inspiration which Makes Men
Seek the Unattained.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Much
has been written about the foolhardi
ness OF the recent attempt TO span the
nearly 1000 miles Of ocean by Hawker
and Grieve. whose. unsuccessful effort
has given rise to the question as to the
advisability of further unaided under
tskings of this kind. One metropolitan
editor styled these men Two Spleen
did Fools" and while laudatory COM
ment has been very literally accorded
them for their intrepid spirit in seeking
to conquer space through the air the
thought has also been freely expressed
that subsequent attempts should be dis
courased on account of the great risk
incurred unless some measures be taken
IT, rescue the aviators in case their ma
chine falls into the sea.
This IL all very well, and In fact the
Aeronautical Society Of America has
gone on record with a recommendation
to the above effect, very properly TAX
ing tho sound engineering stand that
every possible safeguard should sur
round the efforts which will continually
be made to cross the Atlantic by way
Of the air.
No aeronautical engineer doubts that
the flight across will be made this sum-
mer. and the notable achievement of the
NCs already constitutes a splendid step
forward. The Navy Department de-
serves the highest possible praise for its
carefully worked out plan and the fine
results that have attended its undertake
Ing. But let us not, lose sight Of that
all powerful factor, the human urge,
which as sure as fate will lead aviation
devotees on to persist after the unat-

man urge comes not from the desire

THE REGULARS.

To THE EpIroR OF THE SUN-Sir: It
Ia pleasure to read Mr.. Campbell's
letter in THE SUN regarding the record

gets they were only Regulars"
Regulars are Americans Nobody ever
cares where they come from, who their
fathers were, what their religion Is
They are Just plain United States Reg
ulars. They have no press agents, and
unless some one like Colonel Kelton tells
the story OF a division. as he recently
did that of the Third Division on the
Marne, who knows or cares what a
Regular did?

Of them remembers the Seventh United
States at Ell Caney IN 1898? 1t was a
Regular engineer battalion-the First OF
the sixth--that fought with General
Carey in March, 1918. before Amiens.
1t was a Regular machine gun battalion
that held the southern suburb of Cha
teau Thierry the day before the Ninth

lars held the Germans of to the south

was a Regular regiment that held the

erai Pershing speaks when he says It

regiments.
Some day some one like Mr.. Campbell
or Colonel Kelton will wSte in the style

used OF the Regulars. and II will be
a history like none other. 1t 10 not a
case Of envy on the part of those who
speak OF the Regulars: II is only a

Furnishing the LaMIess Hunter.

The old time methods of bounding
deer, killing by jacklight and shooting
does still persist in the Adirondack
counties, although for years laws to
punish those who practise them have
been on the books. If these methods
of taking deer were widespread there
would soon be no animals left. What
might prove true about deer has been
exemplified with regard to sturgeon,
once so prolific and taken In such
quantities that the fish was nick
named Albany beef" In some Of

The Victory Loan.

The amount Of the subscriptions
to the Victory Loan Is satisfa Glory.
The Government offered $4,000, OO0.-
600 of bonds. The people bid for
S., 25O, 100000. Only 100000 sub
scriptions were recorded, against 81
100000 for the Fourth Loan, 1900
600 for the Third, 100000 for the
Second and 100000 for the First.
The falling off was in the number
Of small buyers-the men and women
who In the previous loans bought $50
and 500 bonds.
There is no way of determining
how many individuals bought Lib
erty bonds and still hold them. The
subscription lists hold many duplica-
lions. Any estimate must be pure
guess. There are about 22,O00,O00
families in the United States, some
with one income producer, others with
two or three. Many N the original
buyers of Liberty bonds have sold
them or traded them, in numerous
cases at severe, sometimes at a
total, loss. But there unquestionably
remains n great body of American
citizens who own and hold and intend
to hold their Liberty bonds. These
constitute the wise and thrifty citi-
zens who know n good thing when
they see it. Among them will be
found the men and women who re-
peated consistently in bond buying.
The falling Off in the number Of sub
scribers for the Fifth Loan shows that
many purchasers of previous loans
were not particularly influenced by the
interest paid on the bonds. They
bought in the midst of hOstilities be-
cause they realized the Government
had TO have the money. The fighting
having stopped, the war was over for
them and they paid no attention to
the bargain the Government put out
in the Victory Loan. Their attitude
does credit TO their patriotism, but
the buyers in the Fifth Loan had
patriotism and business sagacity too.

RATIFYING THE TREATY.
A Suggestion to Preserve the Free.
dom Of the United States.

TIC THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
proposed plan OF the Republican Sena-
tors to state formally their objections
and their amendments to the treaty and
league as described in your news col
umns has much merit.
The now famous round robin, II is
admitted, had much to do with the
change in the interchangeable" first draft
and a similar action now might be
equally successful and timely.
The article mentions three changes.
separation of treaty and league, the
Monroe Doctrine and reservation of GER
tain constitutional rights of the United
States" 1t may be not 30 necessary to
its present form It has been accepted
by our allies. but the amendments which
/ have already publicly suggested would
effectively cover the other two changes
The Senate Of the United States In
ratifying the treaty and league inter-
prets the meaning OF Article - in its
reference to the Monroe Doctrine to
have the same reservations as made by
tho United States in signing the Hague
conventions as follows:
Nor shall anything contained in
said convention be construed TO imply
a REIMBURSEMENT by the United States
of Its traditional attitude toward purely
American questions"
The Senate of the United States In
ratifying the treaty and league does
so with the reservation that any obli-
CATION OF the United States arising
from being q member Of the league
shall not conflict with the Constitution
OF the United States. The determine
ton OF any question involved in this
conflict shall be left to the prompt de-
cision OF the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Should these amendments or some
thing like them be adopted by the Re
publican Senators, with the addition of
such Democrats who view the matter
from an American rather than a parti-
san standpoint. much time and argu-
ment might be saved and all the amend
ments necessary to protect the United
States be covered.
II the Senatorial advocates OF no
change decline to accept these purely
American amendments It would be a
proof that they are more partisans than
Americans. IRVING II. Brown.
