berian forces and tt now ds helpless ln the north. In the interior it faces hunger. It would doubtless vel come an arnlisttce and would eagerly accept help from outside. Those who help it, would. in effect at least. sirnp- ly be making an alliance with the BoIshevild." And this, the general said, at a time when victory for the opponents of BoEshevism was near at hand.
 General Miller stated that the pe- riod of trial for the new Russian troops in the north was finished. He pointed out that the Russian force which was fighting on the northern front last autumn was small and its morale nothing to brag of But, now" continued the general. "the number of Russians in the north equals that of all the Allies conb bin ed. Their morale is excellent On the actual fighting front most of the working is now being done by the Russians They are more and more taking the first line pos.uon, while the Allies protect the rear"
 General Miller said the morale of the soldiers had improved while they were at the front because they were thrown in contact with peasants who had suffered from BoIshevik depre- dations, so that whatever the troops had thought previously of the theor- ies of Bolshevisrn they soon learned to hate that doctrine in practice.

the two senators mentioned are jeal- ous of any power being subtracted from the City Court and desire, if not able to kill the bill absolutely, to place the new court under the wing of the City Court.
 Numerous societies and prominent citizens of this city have expressed themselves heartily in favor of a sep arate juvenile court and advocates of the original bill declare that the senators will not be so foolhardy as to thwart public opinion.
 The juvenile court bill will be pre- sented to the senate tomorrow, and is likely to precipitate a fight on the floor. Senator George B. Clark Is heartily in favor of the bill and will lead the forces which will attempt to pass the bill.
