 Drd reached by the council of he great powers concerning me disposal of the German col fnies and occupied regions in Turkey in Asia is much more Asfinite than is generally sup losed, and, besides acceptance Es principle of the American
 Aan of mandatories, it em- .Naces the following main fea-
 gres:
 sN The allied and associated powers Fare agreed that the German col- itonies shall not be returned to Ger lmany, owing, first, to mismanase- .isment, cruelty and the use of these sycolonies as submarine bases. V The conquered regions of Ar knenia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Pales- A fine and Arabia shall be taken from the Turkish empire.
 Provision Is made whereby the
 Rwell-being and development Of \ backward colonial regions are re- 1 garded as the sacred trust or clVft-
 hisation over which the league of e nations exercises supervisory care. The administration of this region Bis entrusted to the more advanced } Mations, who will act as manda- ' tories in behalf of the league of na- shttons.

 hlopment of the colonial region and ks approach to the stage of self-gov- fnment The mandates in Palestine, fsria and other portions of Turkey \ylere well developed civilization eX- Hts, would be comparatively light ana |asuld probably permit of the provision |H recognition of the independence ot

STRENGTH OF ALLIES

Available figures obtained ov war department officials show the British force in the region of the north Is ap- proy lmatelv 5000: Americans, $500 FreAch, 1900: loyal Russians under Br fish officers, 1900. and 1000 other soldiers of one of the smaller allied countries. The exact disposition Of these forces is not known officially in Washington. no report on this having been made in some weeks. Army offi- cials said the body of troops now re- treating before well armed and rem forced bolsheviki was small, being It. tie more than an advanced post. Re- ports of a forty mile retirement, hcw- ever, led experts to believe larger body was engaged than had been sup posed heretofore. General March eN- pressed the opuinion a week ago that the number of troops in. the advance south from Archangel was sufficiently large and strong to keep the situation in hand.
 Use of gas and high explosives by the bolysheviki was looked upon by army men as the most disquieting fea- ture of the military reports as they affected Americans. Tarasevo, from which the Americans had been forced to retire, is a small town about lSo miles directly south of Archangel. It does not appear on war department maps.

OFFICERS REMOVED
 THROUGH JEALOUSY,
 CHARGES GALLWAN
Reads Letter Signed by 40 Wounded National Guard Officers to Prove Regu- lars Had Upper Hand
RN Associated Press

Washington, February 1.-.c-
 iterating in the House today the
 charges that national guard off cers were removed from their.
 commands after practically contin-
 uous fighting service to make
 room for regulars, Representative
 GalIivan of Massachusetts, demo-
 crat, read a letter signed by 40 wounded officers saying investtga-
 ton would prove that medical of
 ficers had been ordered to report
 as unfit officers who might re-
 place the regulars first assigned
 for duty. ''
 The letter also asserted that na- tional guard officers and reserves were sent back into the thick of the fighting while the regular army men were held back.
 Asked by Representative Hamilton of Michigan who was responsible Tor the removal of the national guard ot- ficers after months of service on tho front line, MT Gallivan said it was due to the Leavenworth clique by its influence with the high command. The high command" he explained, was the general staff at Washington
 Referring to Major Gen. Leonard Wood the letter read by the Massa- chusetts representative said:
 TREATED LIKE A SPY
 When General Wood visited tho front he was treated more like Ger man spy than an officer of the United States. We have the word of several colonels that knew him well for this. He was ordered back from his visit here without being allowed to visit the Italian front or returning through England. as he was invited to do by Lloyd George.
 General Wood was the idol of the army officers and men alike. and Was one of the most efficient officers. yet he was kept in a corner all the time. Who did 1t?
 We can prove also that scores of men were sacrificed because officers in command were anxious for promo tion," the letter also declared. w 8 know of a national guard. colonel re lieved of command after a successful advance and sent back to the source of supply because of jealousy.'
 The letter concluded by saying that the officers signing it were of various political affiliations. Eight said they were national army officers, four na- tional guard officers and the. remaind- = CT reserves, Their names were not made public by MT. Gallivan.
