Near Union in Russia

Anti-Bolshevist Russia is on the point
of unification. Admiral Kolchak's mill
tary successes on the Volga front have
had powerful influence in consolidating
the opposition to Lenine. He represents
the one regional government against
which the Moscow regime has never
been able to make headway. He repre-
sents the one government which is now
capable of a vigorous offensive against
the Reds.
The Omsk administration was favored
from the beginning by the fact that the
Czecho-Slovaks had stamped out Boil
shevism east of the Urals, and had sub
sequently stood on the Volga line as a
barrier against Lenine's progress when
the Soviet revolution was at it's height.
The Omsk regime, therefore, had plenty
of time to consolidate itself, to restore
order In Siberia and to raise forces of
its own. Now that the Czecho-Slovaks
have been withdrawn Kolchak has sup
piled their places with troops which, if
not equal to them, are apparently su-
perior in discipline and fighting quality
to the Reds.
The Archangel government has been
sustained by the small Allied army of oc-
cupation in Northern Russia. 1t has
little military strength of it's own. The
Cossack government at Ekaterinodar, in
Southeastern Russia, has held it's own
for over year against the Bolsheviki.
But it represents merely the local Cos
sack tradition of autonomy. 1t has been
against Lenine not only because of his
war on private property, but also be-
cause he wanted to abolish the ancient
rights and immunities of the Cossacks.
1t doesn't offer a working basis for Rus
sian unifcation such as the Omsk gov
ernment does.
Russians of all the anti-Red factions
are therefore turning to Kolchak. The
leaders of the various groups in Paris
are said to be willing to get behind the
Omsk regime if it will guarantee the
calling of a constituent assembly elected
by universal suffrage. President Tschai-
kowsky of the Archangel provisional
government has already agreed to recop-
nlze the Kolchak administration as the
central authority in Russia, on condition
that his organization be allowed to re-
tain control of local affairs.
Lenine has recently had some marked
successes in Southern Russia, where his
forces have reoccupied the Crimea and
the southern half of the Ukraine. But
the Firms, the Lithuanians, the Poles and
the peasant government of Northern
Ukraina are threatening him from the
west. His situation is weaker to-day
than it has been for many months.
The peace conference made two false
moves in Russia. 1t invited Lenine to
Prinkipo. Later it indorsed the Nansen
food relief scheme. Fortunately. both
these overtures came to nothing. There
is now no reason why Allied recogni
ton cannot be given to the Omsk gov
ernment and moral support be supple
mented by economic and military SUD-
port.
No peace can be satisfactory which
does not include rational settlement in
Russia. Getting behind Kolchak is the
most promising solution which has Of
ferred itself since the Paris Conference
began.

Women in Mems Jobs
To the Editor of The Tribune.

IL lHe Eultor OF Inc tribune.
Sir: A quick way to convert a returned
soldier into Boshevk is to give his lob
to woman and keep her in it when he re-
turns from the trenches. Employers who
pursue this policy, "for revenue ONLY" are
playing with fire.
Two months ago, when DR.. Kirchwey
most unwisely advised all EMPLOYERS of
women in mems places to hold fast to
them, it was perfectly evident that the
situation facing to-ds@- would follow as
inevitably as night f. s day. Then DR.,
,kirchwey was jauntiy certain that Jobs
would be found for all service men. I
wonder whether the jobless soldiers of
New York have even yet made an impress
sion upon his mind.
The government has been stupidly and
wickedly wrong in it's attitude in encour
aging employers to hold on to the women
who took mems vacant places during the
war. Will it take a blow in the face to
make the government and DR.. Kirchwev see
the logic of the situation? I repeat that
DIR. kirchwey is acting against the inter
ests Of both the soldier and the American
wife and mother, and I will add that the
government and all employers Of women in
mems places are doing their worst to turn
good eoldiers into Bolsheviks.

same time; and the great idea is converted
INTO an lllusive dream, a domination of the
vlctors by force, clothed in the form of a
JOINT stock company. Without doubt it Is
also to be the millennial kingdom in which
the hon and the lamb shall lie down to-
gether IN peace, but with the difference that
we had not hitherto thought of this millen
mum as geological garden in which the
animals were to be fed and cared for bv
John Bull Sons, Limited world
IN state of equilibrium is the absolutely
necessary presupposition for eternal peace
and for the organization of mankind into
higher unity.
But the idea of state of equilibrium
becomes grotesque parody where it must
be built upon a foundation of disturbed
equilibrium. The greatest of all possible
progress for humanity fickered for a mo-
ment upon the horizon-the hope, namely.
for peace of understanding after this
world war. Instead of that, there comes
now vlctor's peace under the sign of force
and revenge. And mankind has become
poorer than ever before bereft of its great
est illusion'
Pleas for Germany
Carl Lindhagen, for many years Mavor of
Stockholm, of the founders of the
Swedish Socialist party, whose radicalism
now makes him almost q Bolshevist, said
this: "a league of states can afford no
guarantee of peace unless it includes the
whole world, and unless it gives to eacn
state the possibility of harmonious develop
ment. league Of volcanoes has rather
doubtful prospects. Even in Wilson's four
teen points only formal democracy, in my
opinion, finds expression But even
this democracy is still too much after the
old French pattern to understand that pc
lltical methods must also be humanized; it
believes that the same poisoned weapon can
be made to serve the truth just as we'll as
untruth."
Professor N. M Gfelsvik wrote "When
the Civil War in America ended the North
ern States wisely refraned from trying to
reconstruct the Union upon the principle of
squeezing the last cent out Of the Southern
States. On the contrary, all states were read
mitted to the Union without any question be-
ing raised about which one had been the most
SINFUL which the most repentant' or which
the most worthy At that time everybody
was agreed that this was the only reasora-
BILE and statesmanlike possibility for re-
establishing the Union and giving it sta
bility. The peace league idea should have
been taken up in the same spirit. But when
we hear slogans like squeezing out-4he
last penny we must say that the outlook
for a league of nations is really not good"

With the North Atlantic speaking in our

Felt the touch of England like kiss upon

When the lean destroyers came a-driving
through the spray,
The little lean destroyers,
His Majesty's destroyers,
Three days out to meet US, when the dawn
was breaking gray.
Fifty days from Wellington, twining like a
snake!
Woollens for the soldier-man and copper
for the shell!
"Bullyl" quoth the long destroyer loafing
in wake;
"LondOn has the heart of hearts, and she
will greet you we'll"
Trolled the gray destroyers,
His Majesty's destroyers,
Prinking up to windward there or roaring
down the swell.
Cross the bows and back again, Iurching
through the sea;
Gowned IN gray-green gossamer that bill
lows from their hips
Half a dozen way to port, seven more
a-lee,
"Seaway on the English seas for the Eng
ish ships!"
Sang the slim destroyers,
His Majestys destroyers.
Rioting UP the Channel with the foam upon
their lips.
"Yonder are the Dover cliffs, showing white
as chalk;
Far enough is far enough-give you time

Carry on and straight ahead, like lovers
walk;
Best regards to London town when YOU'RE

League ofVolcanoes
By William c. Dreher
Berlin Correspondent of The Tribune

ID ERLIN, April 2o.-The league of ma
tons in its present form appears to
have but slight support in Sweden
The "Vossische Zeitung" prints to-day
letter of its Stockholm correspondent con-
tanning the views of leading Swedes of vari-
Gus shades of thought, as collected by the
correspondent in answer to his letters, and
they are all unfavorabe to the league.
The we'll known explorer of Tibet, Sven
Hedln, whose strongly German sympathies
are we'll remembered, made this response:
Il have just little faith in the league of
nations as l have in eternal peace.
At present the league is embodied only in
league of the Entente states, whose chief
purpose Is to continue to torment Germany;
but the small neutral states are not admit
ted to their table. So far as the guarantee
tor future peace is concerned, this is for
the present embodied only in a burning
hatred against the conquered states-a ha-
tired that is far more worthy of condemna-
tion than the hatred that manifested itself
during the hottest periods of the war. So
long as the magniloquent words have not
led to acts of real justice, and so long as
certain Western great powers continue to
arm themselves to the teeth do not hesi-
tate to characterize both the league of ma
tions and the peace of nations as two of the
greatest humbugs in the history of the
world"
Peace OF Victors
Professor Fahlbeck, the leading nterna
tional law authority of Sweden. condemns
the external form of the league as being
confined only to the victorious great powers
and their vassals, whereas the other nations
including neutrals, can only be elected bv a
three-1ourths majority He continues: On
ternally there is the restriction that free
dom of trade intercourse is guaranteed only
to the members of the league, but not to
the other nations. When one takes into
consideration the fact . :. that the Cen
trail Powers and several others of the oldest
and most prominent civilized peoples Of Eu-
rope are for the present excluded from the
league the judgment to be formed of the
league cannot remain in doubt: this carica-
ture of league of nations cannot promote
real peace Of the nations, but only the
predominant power of the victors and
Bolshevism"
Professor Rudolf Kjellen, the great his
torian of Upsala University, wrote as fol-
lows: "The league Of nations in it's orgi-
nal form, as presented to us by President
Wilson, was largely conceived and prom
lslng thought-namely, an expression of his
programme OF no victors and no vanquished
If this presupposition falls to the ground,
then every guarantee of justice falls at the

fFrom Others)
TT is made of silences-

the purple of various deaths

melting into blues of ecstasy.
These are the background
for one thread
that follows the mystic outline

seven fires of silence :.
To pray

breast bare to the sun

JAPANESE ARE
 ANXIOUS ABOUT
 IRkUTSH AFFAIRS

Paris, Sunday, Dec. 21---Japanese government officials are most anxious about the situation at IrlCutsk, Siberia, according to information reaching peace conference circles.
 They would like to send troops there, it is said, but do not desire to do without having reached an un- derstanding with the United States and the various allied governments. It is understood the Washington cab met is not particularly favorable to this suggestion, and 1t is further pointed out that the Japanese might find themselves confronted with yari- ous difficulties arising from congestion of the singIe-track line of the trans Siberian railroad.

100000 gallons. Each gallon is es- timated to be worth $2O at least.
 The whiskey started out over the Louisville &- Nashville lines. The Big Four carried it to Cleveland, whence it will be taken to Jersey City over the Pennsylvania. It is said armed guards are travelling on every train ready to cope with any attempt at robbery.
 Much of this liquor is expected to be shipped to Europe if it can be got out of the country before Jan. 16. The searchligft in the turret is kept Dlaying all night, while the guards aer constantly on duty. It is feared that an attempt may be made to make a raid. Kentucky whiskey in terests will probably file suit soon after Jan. 16 to recover the:r alleged losses from the government.
