anywhere from 90 10 1000 per cent on our
holdings within the next twelve months.

Allies Said To Recognize So
vietS at Peace Meet.
Step Would Have Important
Effect on Conference.
WOULD CHECK BOLSHEVISM
Move Said To Have Originated
in British Cabinet.
SOvietS Would ReaSSume All of
Russia's Indebtedness.

Paris, Jan. 11.-That the Russian
soviet government is to receive some
degree of recognition from the as
sociated powers was forecast in GER
tain official sources. Such a step, it
was pointed out, would have an all
important effect on the peace con-
ference. 1t was believed the rapid
spread of Bolshevism would be check
ed. This in turn, it was expected,
would effectually defeat the radical
movement in Germany and result in
establishment of a stable government
with which the allies could sign a
durable peace.
Not less startling than the proposal
itself. was the allegation that it orgi-
mated in the British cabinet-in fact
thru Premier Lloyd George. Inquiry
at American headquarters revealed
that the proposal had not yet been
received there. But there is excel
lent reason to believe that the French
government has been given to under
stand that the British are consider
ing such a solution of the apparently
hopeless Russian situation. There is
good ground for believing that if the
British reach a definite decision in
this regard, the other allies will quick
ly follow suit, including even the
French, whose antipathy toward the
soviet government hitherto was the
most marked of all.
Take All Debts.
The keystone of the understanding
according to well defined reports
would be a guarantee by the soviets
that they will reassume all financial
obligations of the old Russian gov
ernment, as well as protect all foreign
interests. This, it was believed, would
have the effect of standing off German
commercial monopoly in Russia
which has been threatened since the
collapse of the first Russian provi-
sional government. The soviets are
reported to have suggested a prelim-
mary allied survey of affairs in Rus
sia. In order to prove their conten-
ton that they are not only in COM
plete control, but that reports OF
atrocities committed by them are un-
true. 1t is agreed among those seri-
ously considering the idea. that if the
present Russian government is able te

KANSAS ALREADY HAS PLANS

Ready To Help in Employment
Questions To Come Up.

Washington, Jan. 11.-State and
local councils of defense will be con-
tinued for the present to assist in re-
adjustment problems
The Kansas state council of defense
has never disorganized. During a
meeting in Topeka several weeks ago,
plans were laid to continue the work
of aiding returned soldiers in secur-
ing employment and in directing idle
labor to the farms.
The legislature will be asked for
an appropriation for continuance of
the work. President Jardine of the
State Agricultural college is at the
head of the state organization. Gov
error Capper and other men interested
in the work of the council of defense
have urged that the service continue.
Recently members of the state coun-
Gil anticipated federal approval of the
continuance of the state and local or
ganizations. The Kansas council of
defense is organized in every county in
the state.

Speakership Meth
Ods Criticised by Opponents.
Has Tried To Intimidate New
Members, They Assert.
MAKES TRADES FOR VOTES, TOO
Committee Chairmanships Of
fered for Caucus Support.
Challenge To Deny Assertions
Issued by His Opponents.

Lambertson opposition in the house
speakership fight today dropped a
bomb in the Brown county mans
camp. An open fight on Lambertson
was opened simultaneously by the en-
tire opposition, which demands COM
mittee on committees for control of
the committee assignments. Charges
were made that Lambertson has
bartered committee chairmanships
and assignments in open trades for
votes in the Republican caucus. 1t
was also charged that new members
have been intimidated with threats of
tied up legislation if they do not come
to Lambertson's support.
Following two days OF rather color
less milling in the hotel lobbies, the
sreakership candidates went to the
mat today in what promises to be one
OIL the bitterest speakership fights in
a number of years. w. Z. Lambertson
of Brown county, who is unquestion-
ably the strongest individual candidate
in the fight, was forced to a stand
against the field. All of the four op-
posing candidates-J. NJ. Gilman, of
LeavenWorth; Frank l.. Martin, of
Hutchinson; w. S. Bardwell, of Man
haitian; and j. f. Brooks, of Sedan
joined in the demand for a committee
on committees. They also attacked
the methods of Lambertson in seeking
to control votes in the caucus.
LambeFtsOn Has Been Active.
For months Lambertson has been
making an active campaign for the
speakership. He visited many mem
bers before they were elected. Today
the Brown county man claimed his
election on the first ballot. He as
serted that he had sixty pledges.
These, he said, included fifteen 1917
members. He also filed on twenty
second choices.
According to charges made by the
opposition, Lambertson has been
winning votes by peddling his COM
mittee appointments. He was today
challenged to deny the making of
promises based on speakership votes.

his case before congress at an early
date. He. did not say how vigorously
