PARIS, June By The Associated
Press).-Until Roland S. Morris,
American Ambassador to Japan,
reaches Omsk from Toxic, it seems
improbable that further steps toward
extending recognition to the Kolchal6
government will be sanctioned by
President Wilson. as he is anxious to
have report from Mr.. Morris after
he has fully discussed the situation
with the Kolchaak Cabinet and has in
vestigated conditions al Omsk
Because of slow communications over
the Trans-Siberian route, it is proba-
bic that it will be another week before
Nh. Morris reaches Omsk
While it is generally believed that
Admira bic kolchak will accept the ma
jority of the conditions under which
the Entente nations and the United
States offer recognition. it is likely the
OmsA government will seek modfica-
tions of the section providing for Rus
sla's recognition of the Baltic, Trans
Caspian. and Trans Caucasian govern
ments as autonomous and STIMULATING
that any differences which may arise
between them and the Kolchak govern
mcnt shall be referred to the league Of
nations. The Russian Commission in
Paris, which is supporting Admiral
kolchak. holds this section to be preiu-
dical to a reunited Russia, for which
struggle is being made The Trans
Caspian sections contain Russias chief
cotton and petroleum supplies, and the
provisional governments there are
, largely creations of the British army.
1t is said. Consequently. their recogni-
tion as autonomous would. in the opin-
ion Of Russians, make Turkestan and
Trans Caucasia virtually British zones
of influence.
a. +. kerensky, the former Russian
Premier, and his sympathzers in Paris
are strongly opposing the extension Of
recognition to Admiral Kolchak on the

On Archangel Front
Uesertions to Allied Lines Daily
Show Fast Decline in
Morale

ARCHANGEL, June ! (By The Asso-
ciated Press. The Bolshevik troops
on the Archangel front appear to be
losing their morale rapidly. Desertions
into the Allied lines are of daily oc-
curSnce at present. On the Vaga and
Dvina sectors Russian and British pa
under protection of gunboats.
American engineer units are still
active on the river sectors.
In the recent successful attack on
Tulgas the engineers were right be-
back the Bolshevik.
The constant artillery duels between
the land batteries and the gunboats on
the Dvina have resulted in several
villages being virtually wiped off the
map, the first instances Of this kind
in North Russia
The Bolsheviki have withdrawn a
considerable number of their boats,
but still have several big guns in
action. These guns outrange the Allied
weapons and, although they have had
no effect on the Allied positions, have
caused casualties among the civilian
population, which stubbornly refuses
TO leave the villages.
Bolshcviki airplanes showed fight for
tbs first time yesterday when they
came in contact with British and Rus
gian planes over Sctso, on the Dvina
and Ktsa on the Vnga. The aerial
fighting, however, waa without definite
results.

Order: Pledges Recalled

WASHINGTON- June 2.-Thc Phil
ippine Islands will apply for member
ship in the league of nations mmed-
ately after receiving their independ-
ence and will regard such membership
as sufficient protection from outside
aggression.
In making this statement to-day at
a joint meeting Of Senate and House
committees. Manuel Quezon, President
Of the Philippine Senate and head Of
the mission sent to this country to
urge independence, declared there was
no reason to fear an attack by the
Japanese The people of the islands
did not anticipate trouble from Japan,
he said. adding that while they could
not resist powerful attack alone, now
or within ten years, they would be
able eventually to protect themselves
from all invasions.
But our plea for independence is
not dependent at this time he said,
ION the league of nations. We would
like to see it formed and we would like
TO become part of it, with the full be-
lief that we would be able TO work,
out our own destiny.'
Answering Senator Harding, Repub-
lican. of Ohio, Mr.. Quezon said the
Filipinos were ready to accept nde
pendence without any protection from
the United States. He thought, how
ever, it would be of interest if the two
countries should have some sort OF
an understanding.
"Would you advocate earnest con-
sidoration of this question:" Senator
Harding asked, "while the world, and
especially the Senate, are engaged in
discussion of the league of nations
or wait until the league has been def
initely disposed of"
From our standpoint we believe
now is the time" Mr.. Quezon replied

De valera might have attempted q

Though the danger of revolt is
small and dwindling daily, the gov

Macpherson is about to resiga his post
as Chief Secretary for Ireland and
Walter Long. civil head OF the Ad-

The government appreciates fully
the feeling in America, Canada and
Australia, and is fully aware OF the
fact that some change must come
eventually or Ireland viii be alien

support, which will be needed in the
coming years Of readjustment.
If the Sim Fein's power is weakened

strength and the governments position

that even Asquith is being invited to

Many acts Of violence are still being
committed in Ireland. bat they have
grown less frequent since the Limerick

Recognition of Irish
Republic Impossible
Through Mason Bill
Neg York Tribune


WASHlNGTON. June Recogni-
tion of Dr.. Patrick McCartan as &C
credited envoy to the United States
OF the Irish Republic would not follow
passage of the Mason bill appropriate
ing $4,000 for an American minister
TO Ireland,
Speculation on this point was set at
rest by State Department officials to-
day Until an American minister to
the Irish republic has been appointed
by the President, following recognition
of tho existence Of a de facto govern
ment in that country. no representative
OF the Irish Republic could be recog-
nized by the United States government
The Mason ncasure follows the form
OF resolutions introduced in the House
by Clay and Webster when the reccg-
milton Of the Republic Of Buenos
Ayres and OF the Greek Republic was
desired. The sending Of an envoy to q
new government is not purely an ex-
ecutve function, since the appointment
oil lhe munster must be approved Dy
the Senate, and an appropriation for
the maintenance Of legation must he
made by the House.
BY the same token in any provision
for minister by the House IS without
effect until the President makes al
appointment Passage Of tha Mason
bill would. however, make known to
tho President the desire OF Congress
and would be calculated to hurry ac-
ton by the Executive.
While the House. in the closing
days of the last session. passed a reso-
iution expressing sympathy with the
aspirations of the Irish people, by a
twothirds majority, it is doubtful if
the same favorable action would be
taken on the Mason bill.

DIR. SYDNOR RECEIVES
HANDSOME TESTIMONIAL

From the Rome, Georgia Tribune
Herald we take the following:
AS an expression of love and gra-
titude for eighteen years of service,
the women of his church, the First
Presbyterian, presented to DR.. q. u.
Sydnor yesterday a very handsome
pitcher goblet and tray of silver,
also silver berry bowl. The gift,
while very costly, is but small ex-
preston of love and gratitude for a
long, faithful and beautiful service.
Nor is that love and appreciation
confined to his own flock; the peo-
pie of Rome generally have felt the
blessing of his friendship and pres
ence. His ministry has been largely
to the individual, consequently a
constant outpouring of his sympathy
and kindness.
DR.. Sydnor has graced Rome's So
cial life, his example has been a
big uplifting force, therefore it
seems most appropriate that express
sions of appropriations to him appear
on this page. One of the younger
members of his congregation was
heard to say few days ago, Il just
can't conceive of a wedding going
off at all without DIR. Sydnor." 1t is
probable that Romans will enjoy
many bright visits from him on these
occasions.
To the boy enlisted in the service
of his country, DR.. Sydnor was a ire
mendous influence, inspiring a deep
err patriotism, a stronger allegiance
to his commanding officer, his coun
try and his God.
with self on the cross and Jesu:
on the throne" words in DR.. sgd
nors sermon last Sunday, express
| his service here. Let Romans see tt
it that they prove themselves worthy
of such service only withdraw
because he feels that "God wills it."

Der of this Association and colabor-
er with us in the ministry of Chris
tian witness and spiritual service
| is about to be removed from our
midst to another field of labor and
city of residence.
For eighteen years our brother,
G.. G. Sydnor, has been pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of this
city. His Christian sympathies and
services have not been confined to
that flock and fold but have been
freely extended to the people of all
creeds and classes, wherever need
| ed, and he has given himself I'M
| sparingly to a ministry of friendly
helpfulness, moral uplift and chart
table relief to the community at
large.
In the fraternal counsels of this
Association his judgment and opin-
ion have commanded respect and
confidence and to it's fellowship
his personality has contributed
cordial interest and inspiration. On
all questions involving moral issues
his stand has ever been firm and
strong for the right, while the car
dinal doctrins and fundamental
tenets of the Christian faith have
had in him an intelligent, devout
and uncompromising defender and
witness.
In consideration of these acts; in
: grateful remembrance of the long
and faithful ministry of our brother
amongst us of the cordially relations
and delightful fellowship we have
had with him in this body, and in
painful realization of the common
loss and sorrow at the severance of
all these bonds, it is resolved that
we hereby convey to DIR. Sydnor ex-
pressions of our sincere regret at
the termination of his connections
and relations in Rome and removed
from our midst.
And that we, further and heartily
give to our brother and his very
excellent and beloved family assur-
ance of our earnest wish for their
happiness in the new home to which
they go, and of our earnest and
united prayers for the abundant
blessing of God upon them in their
new relationships, and for a fruit
full ministry to him in his new pas
torate, in the continued favor and
unbroken fellowship of our common
Lord

County Board of Equalization and Re-
view held at the Court House in
Charles Town this morning, the mat
ter of the motion of the State Tax
Commissioner to raise the assessment
valuation on real estate in jefferson
county was taken up, and after due
consideration the board refused to

ons therefor in the following resolu-
ton which was adopted:
The motion made by VIM. T. Elliott

anr Review of Jefferson Co., w Va,
and seconded by w. F. Alexander al
so member of said Board, the Board
having examined the assessments
made by tn eBoard of Public Works
of the Corporations in said county

well or better than corporations, it
is the purpose of the Board to let
