Kolchak Car, S,reep Reds
From Russia, Says ENJOY

The Russian people. through the
kolchak government, can be trusted to
sweep the nation clean of Bolshevism
if the Allies will supply their fighting
men with the materials for making war.
Financial conditions in that unhappy
country are in such deplorablc state,
however, that only through Allied in
tcrvention can order be reestablished ID
in this regard.
This is the substance of stateme Mt
on conditions in Russia issued yester-
day by Professor N. A. Boradin, rep
rcsentativc Of the Ministry of Agri-
culture Of the Omsk government and
acting president OF the Society for
Promoting Friendship between Russia
and the United States.
The method outlined by Professor
Boradn by which, he believes, Russia
may be saved, includes the supplying
and the intensifying by the Allies OF
aid to Russias troops in the form OF
technical military materials, provis'
ions, medical and sanitary supplies;
continuation Of the aid given in re-
constructing the trans Siberian rail
road, retention in Siberia Of the Allied
military dctachments; cooperation OF
Allied warships in the Baltic and Black
seas and organization Of an Allied
commIssion to bring about uniformity
and stability Of the Russian currency

Army Food Stock to
Be Sold to Russia
Baker Says Supplies Will Be
Exchanged for Raw Mate.
rial Needed in U. S.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Secretary
Baker told the House Military Com
mittee to-day he had authorized the
sale of $4,000, 900 worth of surplus
food stocks held by the army to the
Cooperative Purchase Society of Rus
sia. The society is composed of 90
100000 heads of families, the Secretary
said, and will give in exchange for the
food raw materials needed in the
United States.
Mr.. Baker said in reply to questions
that some of the food probably would
reach the Bolshevik. He was asked
by Representative Anthony. Republican,
Kansas, if the War Department was
holding back huge quantities of canned,
frozen and cured meats because the
packers had protested against dump
ing it on the market and causing meat
prices to fall to lower level"
The Secretary emphatically answered
that the packers had not protested
against such a course.
The department consulted the pack
ers, the Secretary said, as it does other
manufacturers and producers when it
has large quantity of goods to dis
pose of, to ascertain whether the mar
ket could absorb them. The packers
advised that the meat be sold abroad
because it was unsuited for domestic
consumption, being packed in too large
containers or cured differently than
the American people want it cured.

Petrograd Said
TOHave Fallen
Anti-BOlshevikj
Unconfirmed Wire From
Vardoe Tells of Capture;
Huge Bolshevik Plot
in Finland Discovered

LONDON. June 3.-Esthonian and
Finnish forces have taken Petrograd,
according to an unconfirmed telegram
from Vardoe received by the National
Tidende,' of Copenhageg, and for
warded from that city.
A Russian Bolshevik plot on a wide
scale has been discovered in Finland,
according to an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch, also from Copenhagen. Many
arrests have been made in connection
with the discovery.
Several million marks had been
smuggled into Finland preparatory to
a contemplated revolution, the tele-
gram states, and Bolshevik repre-
sentative at Helsingfors had dstrb-
uted more than 100000 marks (nom-
inally S75o,00O) of this Quantities
of weapons had been given out among
the unemployed, but the coup d'etat
that was planned was postponed "ow-
ing to developments in Russia"
Representa- of the Finnish Red
Guards have arrived at Reval and have
begun negotiations there with Finnish
government delegates, the British con-
sui participating in the discussions
says a dispatch from Helsingfors. The
Red negotiators were expected to come
to this city on board British warship
but plans were changed and Reval was
chosen instead for the meeting.
A Russian wireless message received
here from Moscow says that Kherson
on the Dnieper, northeast of Odessa
was occupied by the Reds on Friday
after fierce fighting.
The Bolsheviki have been faced with
an insurrection in the Southern
Ukrain and the forces defeated at Kher
son probably were Ukrainians who hae
revolted against the Sovicts. 1t wa:
reported last week that counter-re
volt had been begun in the Odessa re
gion by Grigorieff, former Bolshevl
general.

London Little Interested
In Terms for Austria
Treaty Considered Just and Is
Taken to Mean That Allies
Are Willing to Negotiate
Ne,v York Tribune
EuroDedn Bureau

(Couright 1910 New York Tribune Inc.)
LONDON, June 3.-On the part of
the general public in London there IS
far more interest being shown IN the
Derby candidates than in the Austrian
treaty. Few Englishmen were called
upon to face the Austrians in battle,
and fewer, still are concerned with
Austria's fate so long as the peace con-
ference takes effective means to pre-
clude the possibility of another war
being started in Southeastern Europe.
The few persons who are interested in
the treaty of St. Germain consider that
the Allies terms are just.
Two facts in regard to the summary
Of the treaty are to be noted
First--The terms leave many points
unsettled, including the questions OF
the Italian frontier and the amount of
reparation, which means that the AL
lies are prepared TO negotiate in the
case of Austria, whereas Germany was
allowed practically no lccway.
Second-Austria being reduced to n
third rate power causes the treaty to
be considered as drastic, but not as
harsh as the terms laid down for Ger
many.
The individual Austrian faces n
brighter future than does the indi-
vidual German. in the opinion of
Britons.
