U. s. and Allies Expected to
Accept 1t as Russia's De
FactQ Administration.
SEEK KOLCHAK PROMISE
Factions Come Together in
Support of Stable Rule
for Torn Nation.

PARIS, May e.-The movement for the
recognition OF the Government of Ad-
miral Kolchak at Omsk by the Allies and
the United States as the de facto Gov
eminent In Russia is supported 30 gen
orally in Paris that announcement OF
such action any day would not be sur
prising.
President Tschaikowsky Of the north
ern Russian Government In Archangel.
has consented to recognize the Kolchak
Government as the central Government
Of Russia on condition that the Arch
angel and other local governments are
permitted to retain control of local af
fairs. Similar action Is expected on the
part Of Gen. Deneklne, head of the Co.'S
sack Government at Ekaterinodar, whose
advisers In Paris have recommended It.
According to dispatches received by
the Russian committee in Paris, Samara,
an. important point on the Volga, has
been evacuated by the Bolsheviki, and
Kolchak's forces are moving rapidly
toward the Volga In pursuit Of the re-
treating Bolsheviki.
The various Russian factions in Paris
apparently are coming together on a
platform providing for the support OF
any Government which guarantees a
constitutional assembly elected by uni
versal suffrage. Former Premier Keren-
sky. who 10 now in Paris, opposes the
Government OF Admiral Kolchak. but the
Admirars repeated promises Of consti-
tutional assembly apparently have salts
nj N
Paris.
1t appears probable that Admiral Kol-
chalk will be asked by the great Powers
TO restate his programme, giving aseur-
ance that the future Of Russia will be
decided by popularity elected body be-
fore recognition Is granted.
LONDON, May "a despatch from
Omek under date OF May Gays that
since the capture of Christopol, on the
Kama. by the forces of Admiral Kolchak
the Siberians have been advancing at an
average rate OF seven miles a day and
have reached the Shenala River. The
enemy's resistance has been broken in
the Bugulma- Bogoroslan area (Samara
Distric) and a similar rate of advance
Ia being maintained in that region. Five
rife regiments OF the reds have capttu-
lated on the Samara front, and It is re-
ported that there Is a great lack Of dis
cipline among the enemy.
WASHINGTON, May s.-The strength
Of the Omsk government has reached
such a stage that a formal declaration
made to-day by S. Ughet. Charge DAT
fairies ad interim Of the Russian En-
bassy. begins:
THE hour which Russian patriots and
democrats have been waiting for during
long months has come at last" The
statement indicates that the details OF
the establishment OF the government at

Thanks are given to the United States
and the allied nations for the assistance
given the new government. and especi-

whose soldiers stemmed the flood of Boil
shevism at the most critical time before
the Omsk government could be organ

Russia is coming back to life con-
cludes the statement, and the near
future will see her a great organized
state built on broad democratic prin-

every creed and nationality. Russia's
