FOES OF THE REDS
WIN RECOGNITION
Bio Four at Peace Conference to
Outlaw Lenine.
ALLIES WILL SUPPLY ARMS
Money and Food Also Will Be Fur
nished, but No TrooPs-italys
Case up Again-Minor Con-
cessions to Foe.

Paris, May 27.-The council of four
of the peace conference has decided
conditiOnally to recognize the antl-Dol-
shevik governments of Admiral kol-
chalk and General Denikines, according
to Reuters agency here. The condl-
lions for the recognition are that, re-
CARELESS of the future of Russia, these
governments agree to cOnvOke ana ac-
cept the verdict of genuine constltu-
ent assembly; likewise that the league
of nations covenant and its conse-
Quences as affecting the boundaries or
the former empire be accepted. Inc
constituent assembly is to determine
the future form of government OF
Russia.
Will Supply Arms and Food.
The policy adopted, it is added, VIII
enable the allies to recognize any
force in Russia, cooperating in the
struggle against soviet rule, because
such recognition will be in force only
till the time the constituent assembly
decides upon the permanent form of
government.
The regional governments will then
expire automatically.
The allies will not furnish Admiral
Kolchak and General Denikine with
troops, but will supply them with
arms, munitions, money, and food on
a larger scale than hitherto.
1t is stipulated that there will be no
interference with the races of nom
Russian states recently erected from
old Russian territory.
There were indications today in
peace conference circles that the nego-
tiations for the settlement of the Ital-
ian problem were being resumed after
a weeks suspension. 1t is understood
that a strong effort is being made by
the French, British and Italians to
have the treaty of London, signed by
those powers in 1915 just before Italy's
entrance into the war, form the basis
of the settlement
Make Minor Concession to Foe.
With the exception of one MINOR
| concession, all suggestions and coun-
ter-proposals by Germany for the dis
position of the Saar basin have been
rejected by the reply of the allied and
associated powers.
Count Won BrOckdorff- RantZau's APP
peal for an oral discussion of the
points at issue on this subject was
ignored.
The concession agreed to is that
Germany might create a prior charge
upon her assets or revenues for the
payment of the mines in the Saar
region, if the plebiscite goes against
France If, however, the sum agreed
upon is not paid within year from
the date it is due, the reparation COM
mission shall effect payment under in
structions from the league of nations.
This alteration was made in view of
Germany's declaration that it was i'm
possible for her to accumulate sufi-
cient sum of gold with which to pay
for the mines in the fifteen years be-
fore the plebiscite is taken, since other
Preparations would constitute a con-
slant drain.
The council of four has completed
the Austrian treaty, with the exception
of financial clauses and the southern
boundary, on which some details are
still to be Strengthened out.
To Cut Army Rapidly.
Berlin, May 27.-Information has
been received from an unimpeachable
source that the contemporaries to be
made by Germany to the peace confer
ence will declare in favor of military
disarmament, saying that Germany is
ready to reduce her forces to $4,000
within two months after the conclusion
of peace and by the expiration of an
other year to cut the size of the army
down to 100000 men.
