SOVIET CHIEFS
PLAN ADVANCE
Soldiers Returning from
Germany Ordered to
Join Red Army.

The Soviet government OF Russia
has ordered the mobilization for active
military service in Red army, OF ''all
former soldiers of the demobilized
army returning from Germany and
Austria" This news came to the
State Department from Archangel and
is taken from the Moscow Radio
News. 1t Is significant information.
The Omsk or Siberian government
intends to form a copartnership with
the Archangel district troops and ad-
vance into the interior OF Russia. The
Soviet army has been depleted by its
campaigns in northern Russia and in
the Black Sea districts. and extraor-
dinary efforts are now evidently be-
ing made to get replacements for
probably a long war. How far the
recruiting will go to make another
formidable army Of the Reds Is not
known here, and will depend on the
eagerness of the demobilized men to
throw in their fortunes with the So
viets.
1t is perfectly apparent, however.
that the Soviets are about to make
a desperate resistance to any inter-
ference by the Omsk government,
which is practically recognized by the
allied and associated powers.

Southern Democrats yesterday

would back the decision of the ma
tional committee meeting in Chicago
to make the peace treaty a party
issue.
There is no race question involv-
ed in the creation OF the league of
nations" Senator Robinson. Arkan-
sas. said There is no possibility
of the backward nations becoming a

THE attempt to inject the race
question into the discussion is the cli-
max of absurdity."
Republican Senators welcomed the
Democratic partys acceptance of the
league of nations issue. Some Re-
publicans who have supported the
proposed league in lukewarm fashion
will now be able to reverse their
position and oppose the league on
party grounds, it was said
Republican opponents admitted that

the league. His aim was to avoid
committing the Republican party on
the league issue until forced TO do so
by the Democrats. He is now free,
league opponents say. TO come out
in an open fight against the league
on the ground that the Democrats
have made it a party issue. leaving
the Republicans no other course.

Senator Kellogg questioned the right
of Congress to continue in effect in

AS a permanent settlement of the
problem. Kingsbury advocated a law
relieving the telephone companies Of
numerous different forms of State
regulations"
He said Congress should standardize
the control under which the various
companies comprising the big systems
operate. SO that they would not be
subjected to one sort of regulation in
one State and another sort in a dir
ferent State
If present rates are continued.
Eingsbury said. the Bell can continue
to pay the s per cent dividend II

asked him if a s per cent dividend
would not be high enough to insure
GOOD credit, and Kingsbury agreed it
would.
Government Pays Bills.
II developed that the government
contract with the companies provides
for payment OF the dividends on all
stock and interest on all bonds.
Kingsbury criticised Congress for
leaving indefinite in the wire control

Girl Graduate Contestant
Would Teach Americanism
CONTINUED FROM FACE ONE

CONTINUED FROM FACE ONE
With this question in mind 1
came across an article written
by one of our leading educa-
tors. The writer said that teach
ers were literally soldiers in
the trenches. Did not Amer
lea need its children taught?
Lessons in patriotism were
needed. The children of Amer
ica needed help, and there were
not enough teachers left to do
the work. Then I decided 1
would do my bit by staying in
school.
