To this the allies replied at length,

wherefore the allied and associated

peared in good humor and hopeful OF

preciate the good nature displayed by

head Of the Omsk government. Is max
ing plans for a great advance designed
to establish communication with the
Archangel forces on the north and
those Of General Denekine on the
south and to effectually crush the
soviet armies. AS a starter he has
captured Samara, an important city.
He says he will move IN the direction
Of Moscow and that the capture Of
that bolshevik capital will be his chief
aim. What he asks from the allies Is
armament. munitions, material and
clothing. After his final victory. he
declares, a national assembly will be
called to which he will hand over his
authority. The bOlsheviki have met
further defeats at the hands of Pet

their rule have broken out in the gov

The protests of the Germans against

While these diplomatic exchanges
were going on, President Ebert, Chan
cellor Scheidemann and others were
infaming the German people with vio-
lent denunclatlons Of the treaty and
declarations that Germany never
would submit to IT, All Of them harp
ed on the alleged abandonment of the
fourteen points by the allies. and Pres
tdent Wilson was bitterly attacked as
traitor to mankind and a weakling
who has betrayed the trust that had
been reposed In him by the people
OF Germany. President Ebert told his
applaudlng hearers that he feared an
outbreak of psychic Juror teutoni-
Gus" within a few days and that the
wrath OF the soul Of the people when
II reached the boiling point would
know no bounds as a result OF the deep
disappointment and anger born of fury
and just Indignation.
The position taken by the govern
ment heads is supported by all fac
lions except the independent Social
ists-Haase's crowd-who, while de-
claring the treaty oppressive, advise
that II be signed. This may be ex-
planned by the probability that II the
treaty is signed the present govern
nient will be forced to give way to one
made up OF independent Socialists.

In some ways the treaty with Aus
tria. II Is said. will be like that with
Germany. Austria Is TO lose her en-
tire navy. according 10 the reports,
and there is little doubt that when her
new boundaries are delimlted she will
find that her southern frontier is push
ed back so far that Italy will have
not only the Trentlno and Trieste. but
also all the strategic passes and
heights In the Alps which the Italians
say are necessary to their future Sc
curity. This is in accordance with
the secret treaty of London. In the
matter Of reparation Austria OF course
will he required TO pay certain sums,
but these will be small In comparison
with those demanded from the Ger
mans. The clauses concerning water
ways are much like those in the Ger
man treaty. The breaking up Of the
