have been introduced in the legisla-

ment appears to be to support Admiral
holchak as long as he is willing and
able to continue the fight The United
States is providing him with arms,
clothing and medical and subsistence
stores in such quantities as to confirm
the belief that his reverses have
strengthened his following in this
country. and that he is at present the
strong man in the old diplomatic game
of curing a revolution by lending sup
port to its strongest enemy.
Back of the immediate fact that
kolchak is having trouble is, however
the general Allied policy which seems
to be based on the belief that IN time
the Bolshevists will die by their own
hand and leave the country to be ad-
ministered as a sort of international
orphan. This is an enlnently safe
policy, requiring little guidance, and
practically no intelligent effort on t.
part of the Allied Powers. 1t leaves
the powers free to work out their
domestic affairs, and yet, in case of
failure, it is always handy as a side
show TO which public attention can be
diverted"
According to "The Fargo On. D.
Courier-News' the lesson of the last
few weeks developments is "to end
war with the Soviet and try peace"
"The San Francisco Chronicle" does
not believe in anything of the sort,
now that "Lenine is tottering' and
"his own policies are recoiling to
beat him. "The Omaha World
Herald thinks it probable that Le-
nine will resign in order to save Rus
sia from starvation during the next
winter, as there is no hope of an en-
HANGED agricultural productivity as
long as the Bolshevik rule continues.

cation of the situation in Siberia, is
quoted in the Washington dispatches
as having submitted most pessi-
mlstlc report about the strength and
prospects of the Kolchak govern
ment. The present difficulties Of the
Omsk dictatorship, it was said, were
partly due to the failure of outside
support to materialize. Kolchak
himself, 1t was reported, is not only
aware of the impending breakdown,
but does not even attempt to min
lmize the danger. In proclamation
issued recently to his army Admiral
Kolchak said, among other things:
I'VE are in death struggle with
bolshevlsm which cannot end by
mutual understanding because in this
struggle We defend liberty against
tyranny, civilization against barbarism
In this struggle we are not dealing
with honest opponents, but with a band
OF robbers, composed of outlaws of all
nations.
"The methods used against as in this
struggle are infamous; innocent people
are martyrized. undergoing violence
and robbery. One cannot evade this
struggle or its consequences as long as
the enemy is not annihlated
THE Only iSSue for us ;n +b; lat
and terrible struggle is to defeat the
enemy or die"
The news from Siberia caused
grave concern both in WASHINGTON
and in the Allied capitals, and on
August l3 it was reported that the
United States government author
lied the dispatch of a large ship
ment of guns and ammunition to
Omsk, supplies originally destined
for the old Russian government. AT
the same time, as WASHINGTON
dispatch to "The New York Times"
has it, "it was learned that early
recognition of the Omsk govern
ment is improbable.
In the mean time, however. the

in equipment and in morale. but, con-
trary to general impression, his losses

that the rifles and ammunition sent
across the Pacific to aid Kolchak
will ENSURE the continuance of war

peace" The editorial concludes:
"Killing by decree Of government is

ing war by this country The method

dispatch from Washington to
The Times," published on August
19, limited at a favorable turn of
the fortunes of the Omsk govern
ment. The dispatch said, in part ::
"The change in the situation, which q
week ago seemed to doom Omsk to an
early fall and the retirement of Kol-
chak possibly as far east as Irkutsk. is
due to several reasons, the most i'm
portant of which is the hammerinp of
the Poles, Esthonians and the Cossacks
under Denikin against the lines of the
Red armies in the west and south,
these operations having assumed such
proportions that the Moscow Red gov
ernment has been compelled to with
draw five of its best equipped and
trained divisions from the army operat
ing against kolchak. Also figuring in
the causes responsible for the Boil
shevist setback are the Anglo o-Russian
operations in the north, the airmen of

says "The Detroit News had an
other reason in mind for his adven-

merely was to raise funds for the
financing of armies to fight the
Turks.
His writings, his journals and
pleadings to Spanish sovereigns
bear out this fact He quoted the
Holy Scriptures to show that he was
the man chosen to lead the people
out from under the Sultan's yoke.
In his journal, written December
20, 1892, he wrote that he hoped
his men would find 'tuns' of gold
and spices in such quantities that
armies could be sent against the
Turks inside of three years. He
willed that all profits from his trips

eddy around this particularly interest
ing point"
On the other hand, 1.-THE Portland
(Me.) Press" speaks of the "be-
trayal of Kolchak" by the Allies:
admiral Kolchak, beneath whose
banners rallied the patriotic Russians
who were opposed to terrorism and
Bolshevism and who stood alone against
the torrent which had engulfed all of
Russia save Siberia, has been betrayed
by those who should have given him
help. He was promised soldiers, but
the Allies sent him only a handful and
later withdrew the most of them. He
was promised munitions, clothing and
food, but it was not Forthcoming. He
was promised experienced officers to
train his courageous but undisciplined
recruits, but those who were first pro-
vided were ordered home. Outnum-
bered and overpowered, Kolchak has
been forced to withdraw his armies
800 miles back into Siberia and the
Bolsheviki, now led by German Off
GERS, are marching on to the conquest
of the entire country"
"The Buffalo Express" rejoices in
the sending Of supplies to assist the
Omsk governments:
"In sending this belated aid the
United States is doing what a clearer
vision should have told the government
more than year ago that it would
have to do. The Bolshevist movement
should have been looked upon mt the
time of the armistice as a part of the
German war, and the surrender of Ger
many should have been followed by i'm
mediate steps to put down the Lenne
government as German ally. Here is
the statement of a Russian, Lorence
Pouschine, who was one of the leading

The Week Abroad

On the eve of the parliamentary re-
cess Lloyd George made three
hour speech on British internal
affairs. One of the most important
declarations in his speech was the
rejection of the majority report of
the Coal Industry Commission
made by Justice Sankey, which pro-
vided for the naturalization of the
British coal industry. The Pre-
mler outlined instead government
plan calling for partial nationali-
zation by the purchase of the coal
seams, strict government control
Of mining, with the miners shar-
ing in the control, and the estab-
lishment of fund for improving
the living conditions of the miners.
The Premier announced plans

business situation, Lloyd George

der which imports were limited
to those granted special licenses by

said it was the duty of the pro-
moters Of the league Of nations to

the reduction of armaments He
said those who believed most in the
league of nations must trust it
most and the others would follow
them.
There was great disappointment
because Lloyd George ignored the
Irish question in his speech, and
the Labor members sharply criti-
cised the governments coal min
ing policy. The general impress
sion was that the Premier had
fallen short of the great success
to which he is accustomed in his
parliamentary efforts.
