Political Power Has Grown.

simultaneously, the political power
OF the all-Russian government has
grown to such an extent that all
national endeavor opposed to bolste-
vism seems to center In It, During the
same period there came an important
event, namely, the communicate
which brought promises that the all
lied powers would help the Omak
government to establish itself as the
central power in Russia. Secondary
events were the complete elimination
of dissent in the far east and the
subordination Of the authority of
Gen. Semenoff, lettering relations
with Japan. which now are highly
satisfactory.
"Reverses on our front naturally
postponed final success, but, with
unity of command achieved, we view
the situation from broad point of
view. Our advance four months ago
was risky undertaking., but neces-
sary at the time and 1t achieved Inn
portant results. Gen. Denekine: who
had been driven back over q limited
territory, was enabled to reorganixe
his forces and to start an offensive.
The Ural Cossacks were permitted to
join hands with us.
'sThe bolsheviki realized that when
we took the Volga their situation had
become desperate They concentrated
against as. Now Gen. Denekine's sue
cesses are forcing them to withdraw
their troops from that region.
For our part, as soon as our troops
have rested, we expect to start new

BELIEVES AMERICA
|. ALERT TO ANARCHY
Admiral Kolchak Confident Of
Future of Anti BoIshevik
Forces and Omsks.
COOPERATION WITH U. S.

By the Associated Press.
OMSK, Monday, July 14.-Admiral
>Kolchak, head OF the ALI Russian gov
eminent, expressed confidence in the flu
ture Of his government and in, the anti
bolshevik forces, during an Interview
yesterday. and showed satisfaction be-
cause it now seems clear that America
realizes what bolshevism means
The prospective visit in August of
Maj. Gen. William 8. Graves, COM
mander of the American expeditionary
force In Siberia, and Roland S. Morris,
American ambassador to Japan, Admit
raj Kolchak said. would lead to q bet
ter understanding" Relations with the
American government, he declared. have
been improved by the recent exchange
of views.
"Prior to the exchange Of these recent
communications" he said. ''our rela-
tions with the United States were mark
ed by two conditions. The Omsk gov
eminent had excellent personal relations
with the American representatives, but
at the best these were only personal
and valuable because they enabled US
to maintain a patient attitude toward
future developments. On the other
hand, the official policy and the attitude
Of military and other allied representa-
tives in the far east, while preserving
neutrality in Russian affairs, entirely
ignored the Omsk government. So far
as they were concerned 1t did not exist.
These two points created difficulties
that contributed to mutual misunder-
standings.

Disposition to ignore Fact.

TN addition. there appeared to be q
disposition to ignore the fact that boil
shevism is bolshevisnl. There was a
certain doubt in the minds Of the Amer
lean representatives that the manifes-
tations of anarchy and mob rule were
not expressions Of the democratic striv-
ings Of the people against an autocratic
government seeking to Cypress them. :.
"Since the exchange OF views II
seems clear that America realizes
what bolshevism means, and that the
Omsk government syinbolizes the ele-
ments Of order and freedom, contend
ing against disorder and anarchy.
There is manifested q materially
changed comprehension Of the situa-
ton and Of the attitude of the troops
in the far east.
II believe that with the arrival Of
Ambassador Morris and Gen. Graves
it viii be possible to arrive at still
better understanding"
Comparing the outlook Of the omsk
when the advance Of the Siberian
army was in full swing. Admiral
Kolchak said the most radical change
is to be seen In the military situa-
ton.
I'VE have achieved unity Of COM
mand," Admiral Kolchak said, ION
all the anti-bolshevik fronts. First.
Lieut.. Gen. Eugene Kerlovitch Miller
was appointed commander OF the
northern army; then Gen. Udenftch
was given the command Of the north
western army, and finally. at the be-
ginning of June, GEN. Denikine ac-
knowledged the authority Of the
OmSk government.

reasonably contented, but says Ocala
