"The war has unmistakably dem

that Japan strive for national power
along these lines. so she can con-
tribute her full quota to permanent
peace. especially in the Orient II
is not expected that the league will
settle all international disputes. but
1t will undoubtedly be effective in re.

With Odessa in Hands of Reds
Immense Resources of
Grain, Coal and Minerals
Are at Their Disposal.
NOW POSSIBILITY OF
GREAT RED ALLIANCE
HaIIerS Polish Divisions to Be
Needed in East as Soon as
They Can Get There, Allied
Statesmen Believe.

Paris, April 9.--The chief cause of
anxiety in connection with the vacua-
tion of Odessa by the allies and its
occupation by bolsheviki lies in the
fact that the most fertile regions in
southern Russia have fallen into the
hands of the bolshevik forces, giving
them immense resources of grain, coal
and minerals.
The reason for the allies retirement
as the constantly increasing menace
of the bolshevk soldiers against the
allied garrison, which was able 10
maintain with United States supplies
with the greatest difficulty. The COM
mander, thereupon, decided to with
draw his troops numbering approx
mately $4,000. The troops retired to
Rumania and Constantnople
The situation in Rumania and Po-
land is far from reassuring. even with
these additional troops to help from a
Gordon against the spread OF bolshe-
vism.
Both Rumanians and Poles require
the largest measure of aid from the
allies in providing them with food,
military equipment and organization.
1t is regarded as essential in com
petent quarters that General Haller's
Polish divisions should be hurried
eastward as soon as possible for 9TH
erwise. 1t is pointed out there is pos
sibility of the formation of great
bolshevist block cinsisting of Russians,
Hungarians and Germans which
would be so powerful that immense
forces would be required to resist it.
Statesmen of various countries gath
cred in Paris are discussing the ques-
tion with considerable quietude and it
is expected would form the the form
of discussion at the peace conference.
1t was remarked in semi-official cir;
cles that reports received from Russia
previous to the evacuation of Odessa
had shown boislfovism thore to be on
the down grade ewing to the gradual
exhaustion of funds and lack of sup
plies. But the acquisition of Odessa
and surrounding districts by the boil
sheviki has given them a new lease
of life and placed in their power
the means to crush, temporarily at
least, the rising strength of those con-
testing most vigorous bolshevik prog
rcsi
