SIRE TO INTERFERE WITH

Washington. Officials of the
American government have expressed
the belief that Stephen Pichon, the
French foreign minister, was voicing
his own opinion and not the policy of
the French government when he said
there would be no immediate inter-
vention In Russia by the allied govern
ments.
The Russian situation has been the
subject Of earnest discussion by the
representatives at Paris of the assOci-
ated nations, but so far as is known
here none of the governments has put
forward any definite plans. The un-
Outstanding here is that the whole
subject will be left to the peace con-.
ference.
1t was reiterated Friday that the
allied powers have no desire to inter-
fere with the internal affairs of Rus
STA and that IL any aggressive action
Is determined upon the object will be
solely to cure menace to the peace
Of the world.
Additional reports Of the chaotic
conditions in Bolshevik-cOntrolled
European Russia have reached the
state department.
One account said the loyal militia of
Esthonia and Livonia, poorly equipped
and with little or no training, was In
no condition to Withstand the attacks
of the Bolsheviki. Some of the Boil
shevik forces In this section were said
to be well supplied with machine
guns, tanks and arlaOred cars.
Riga, Reval and Limbach were re-
ported as crowded with refugees from
the surrounding country, and officials
If, the British naval forces in the Bal
tic have suggested that the aged, the
children and the sick be moved to the
island Of Oesel in the Gulf Of Riga,
where. 1t is said, 100000 refugees could
be cared for.
Advices reaching the state depart
ment Friday from Bucharest said the
main force Of the Bolshevik army in
Russia consisted Of 100000 Russian
soldiers, forced to join the BOlsheviki
because of fear of starvation; former
Austro- Hungarian prisoners Of war,
$4,000 men from the Balkan provinces
and 10000 Chinese workmen.

SINKING Of SHIPS
NOT ON PROGRAM
SECRETARY DANIELS DECLARES
HE KNOWS NOTHING OF PROPO-
SAL TO DESTROY HUN NAVY.
First Suggestion Of Plan Comes from
London as one Possible Way OF
Settling a Very Vexing
Problem.

Washington.-Press dispatches from
Paris saying that the American peace
delegates, with British support. Will
urge the sinking of the surrendered
German warships as the solution or
their disposition, led to initiation or
steps in the senate on Thursday to
obtain an official statement OF the
facts and to wide discussion in naval
circles. At the state and navy depart
ments no information was available,
Secretary Daniels repeating his pre-
viOus statement that he had never
heard the suggestion officially, while
at the state department it was said
that so far as known there no such
project was included in the American
peace program.
The first published suggestion that
the ships be sunk came from London
several days ago, but even before that
it was learned, this has occurred to
some naval authorities here as one pos
sible way of settling vexing problem.
Admiral Benson, chief Of naval oper-
atoms, and designated as naval adviser
to the American peace delegation, has
been in Europe some time. His views,
worked out with Vice Admiral Sims
and officials of the British admiralty
and the French ministry of marine,
will have great weight with the Amer
lean delegates on naval questions aris-
ing at the conference, but there is
nothing here to indicate what cOnclu-
sion he may have reached on the dis
position of the surrendered craft.
There were many indications that a
proposal to sink the ships would meet
strong opposition in congress.
