In eastern Russia Admiral KOlchak,
head Of the Omsk government Is max
ing plans for great advance designed
to establish communication with the
Archangel forces on the north and
those of General Denekine on the
south and to effectually crush the
soviet armies. As starter he has
captured Samara, an important city.
He says he will move in the direction
of Moscow and that the capture Of
that bolshevlk capital will be his chief
aim. What he asks from the allies Is
armament, munitions, material and
clothing. After his final victory, he
declares, n national assembly will be
called to which he will hand over his
authority. The bolsheviki have met
further defeats at the hands Of Pet
lura's Ukrainians, and revolts against
their rule have broken out In the gov.
ernments of Klev, Tchernlgov and
POltava.
Tchitcherln, bolshevIst foreign min
lister, has announced that the bolshe-
Wiki will not consent to stop hostilltles
as a condition Of the provisioning of
Russia by neutrals, and the anti-bol-
shevist leaders declare that this plan,
proposed by Doctor Nnnsen, is no so
luton of the Russian question.

Won Observation-Disclosures and his
colleagues on the German delegation,
together with their numerous experts,
have been as busy as bees formulat-
ing objections to the German treaty.
Several of these were transmitted to
the allies last week and most Of them
were rather summarily answered, and
dismissed. These formal objections
were considered mere preliminary
skirmishes, and meanwhile the Ger
mans were preparing elaborate coun-
proposals. These, 1t is said. would
contain two dominant diplomatic fea-
tures-an exaltatlon Of the league Of
nations idea, and vigorous demand
that there be "pure application" Of
Wilson's fourteen points. The latter
is designed to win favor in America
and to create a breach between the

world for what the Hun leaders call
the German Socialist state.
One OF the most seriously taken Of
the German objections .was to the
treaty terms concerning labor reforms,
and with II was sent n draft Of an
international agreement on labor law.
To this the allies replied at length,
showing that the treaty fully covered
all the points raised and that Its pro-
visions were more satisfactory than
those In the German proposition,
wherefore the allied and associated
governments are "of the opinion that
their decisions give satisfaction to the
anxiety which the German delegate
processes for social justice and Insure
the realization of reforms which the
working classes have more than ever
n right to expect after the cruel trial
to which the world has been subjected
during the last five years.
Yet another German note dealt with
the economic aspect of the peace
terms, declaring that II enforced they
would bring death to 'many millions
Of people In Germany, all the more
quickly as the nations health Is al
ready broken by the blockade"

The protests of the Germans against
the pact and their harping on the four
teen points also were indorsed by n
convention Of Socialists In Paris and
by the Women's international Con-
ference for Permanent Peace, in ses-
sion at Zurich. The resolution adopt
ed by the women was proposed by
Mrs. Philip Snowden Of England and
seconded by Miss Jeanette Rankin.

While these diplomatic exchanges
were going on, President Ebert, Chan
cellOr Scheidemann and others were
inhaming the German people with vlO-
lent denunciatlons of the treaty and
declarations that Germany never
would submit TO 1t. All Of them harp
ed on the alleged abandonment Of the
fourteen points by the allies, and Pres
ident Wilson was bitterly attacked as
n traitor to mankind and weakling
who has betrayed the trust that had
been reposed in him by the people
Of Germany. President Ebert told his
applaudng hearers that he feared an
outbreak Of psychic Juror teutoni-
Gus" within a few days and that the
wrath OF the soul Of the people when
It reached the boiling point would
know no bounds as result Of the deep
disappointment and anger born Of fury
and Just Indignation.
The position taken by the govern
ment heads is supported by all fac
lions except the Independent Social
ists-IIaase's crowd-who, while de-
clarlng the treaty oppressive, advise
that It be signed. This may be ex-
planned by the probability that II the
treaty Is signed the present govern
nent will be forced to give way to one
made up Of Independent Socialists.

Negotiations between the Italian
delegation and the other allies over
the settlement of the Adrlatic dispute
were still In progress when this was
written. "In progress" however, may
be misleading, for they did not seem
to be getting ahead much. The Ital-
ians were said to be yielding as to

In some ways the treaty with Aus
trla, It Is said, will be like that with
Germany. Austria Is to lose her en-
tire navy, according to the reports,
and there is little doubt that when her
new boundaries are dellmited she will
find that her southern frontier Is push
ed back so far that Italy will have
not only the Trentlno and Trieste, but
also all the strategic passes and
heights In the Alps which the Italians
say are necessary to their future Sc
curlty. This Is In accordance with
the secret treaty of London. In the
matter Of reparatlon Austria Of course
will be required to pay certain sums,
but these will be small In comparison
with those demanded from the Ger
mans. The clauses concerning water
ways are much like those In the Ger
man treaty. The breaking up Of the
Austro- Hungarian empire has result
ed in reducing Austria to rather
small fourth rate power without direct
access to the sea, and it is the aim Of
at least some Of the allied nations to
keep her In that condition. BY her
self she is comparatively harmless
united with Germany, she would help
largely to make up nation that might
again threaten the peace of the world.

Despite protests, denuncatlons and
wailing, II was still the opinion Of the
well-informed in Paris that the Ger
mans would sign the treaty before the
expiration of the period Of grace al
lowed them. The possibility that they
would persist In their refusal, how
ever. has been amply provided for and
the plans of the allies in that con-
tingency are complete: Marshal Foch
already has been sent to the Rhine
land by the council of four to take
such military action as may he neces-
sary and the council also has made its
plans for the immediate re-imposltion
of the blockade on Germany. AT Co
blenz General Pershing said the Amer
lean army of occupation was ready to
do its part, whatever that might be.
Another thing that occupied the at
tention of the allied foreign minister
was arrangement for maintaining or
der in Schleswig after the Germans
evacuate that territory. Probably all
the allied naval force, In which the
United States. Great Britain and
France will Join, will be stationed ut
Flemsberg and several bnttallons Of
infantry landed to police the country.

THE SEPULCHRE
By Annie johnson Film.

The third day he shaH rise az ain. :. So they.
made the ssDufehre sure, sealing the stone.
..fis 10 not here for ne 10 risen. as he said. -
- Matthew 20: 10; ~. 66; rs. 6.
The Man had died on the cross,
And they laid him in the tomb;
The Living Stone in the stone,
The Rock in the rock-hewn room;
They left him alone with Death,
And sealed the stone at the door;
They made the sepulchre sure,
And set their watch before.
Lest his friends should steal him
away,
And say that he rose," they said.
But Lite escaped from Death,
And the Goldman rose from the
dead.
The skeptical minds of men
Still think the sepulchre sure,
But Christ had said, Il will arise"
And the counsels of God endure.
Btill his disciples go
To carry the wondrous word:
The Lord is risen indeed!
We know, we have seen and heard"
And the tomb men think so sure,
With the seal of their scorn on the
door,
The place where the Lord once lay
Is empty forevermore.

TILT WITH HINES
MAY MAKE REDF|ELD
QUIT j. S. CABINET
PRICE FIXING ON RAILROAD
STEEL BRINGS SECRETARY OF
COMMERCE TO VERGE OF
RESIGNATION.

Washington, April % William
C. Redfeld, Secretary of Commerce,
will soon resign from the cabinet, ac-
cording to a report in official circles
here today.
II is based on the failure OF Presi-
dent Wilson to support Mr.. Redfield' 5
board in his department and Walker
d. Hines, director general of rail
roads, over the price of steel.
The industrial board was formed
for the sterilization OF industries and
prices, but the railroad administers
ton baked on its first move, which
was an attempt to fix the price Of
steel rails.
The report of Mr.. Redfield's resig-
nation was in circulation earlier in
the controversy, but when an attempt
was made to take the matter before
dim for either affirmation or denial
he refused to see the questioners.
Wanted Wilson's Backing
During the height of the price
feud" between the railroad admins
tratiol and the Industrial board Mr.
Rediield was quoted as having told
a number of steel men that he relied
on the President to support him, and
lacking the backing OF the chief eX'
ecutive would quit his post.
The President today took a hand
in the steel imbroglio by directing
the industrial board and the railroad
administration to reopen discussions.
This might be termed bleak news
for the Secretary of Commerce. The
text of the Presidents cablegram was
not made public in view Of Mr.. Red
fields absence in Boston.
Concerning this absence, however
the capital was mildly surprised this
morning when the news OF speech
delivered in Boston last evening by
Secretary Redfeld was received here.
The latter, addressing the eXecu-
tive Association of Wholesale Grocers
of New England asserted that most
OF the appropriations made in Wash
jngtoa were for the governments po-
litical work rather than for practical
constructive undertakings,
In view of the fact that any ad-
ninistration originates by Congress
and supplies guidance for the other
half, there was considerable surmise
as to just what Mr.. Redfield meant.
Four Other Officials Quit

President Wilson. He was formerly
a member of Congress from New
York and is resident of Brooklyn.
He viii be 81 years old his next birth
