Special Cable ScTrire
PARIS, April St seems likely
that the Irritation of the leaders OF
the peace conference with the Boil
sheviki will lead soon to the recog-
milton of Lenine's government by
the United States and the Allies
the only possible outcome. of the
present policy of non-interference in
Russian affairs.
A special message from Lcnins.
brought to Paris by William c. Bul-
lit, a representative of the Ameri-
can State Department, is being
given serious consideration by the
American peace delegates. Bullitt's
mouth has been tightly sealed since
his arrival from Moscow several
days ago, and no hints are being
given officially as to the next step
toward the solution of the Russian
problem.
Some American officials, however,
point out at great length the demo-
cratic features of the soviet form
of government and another official
never fails to show the historic
precedent for the recognition of de
facto governments, even though
the principles they represent are bad
and the methods they use barbarous.

Great Britain Likely
70 Join With America

But it is taken for granted that
Premier Lloyd George would follow
Americas lead. He has been so IN
clined for weeks past, as for in
stance in the Prinkipo affair.
Numbers Of Americans and British
ers in Paris favor coming to terms
with the Bolsheviki on account OF
the seeming hopelessness of other
wise undoing the hopeless impasse.
Their position is that the great
task OF the Allies now is that of de-
stroying the possibility of COM
bination of the Russians and the
Germans which would turn the
Allied victory into defeat. Such a
combination could be brought about
by Germany backing the anti-Bol-
shevist groups in Russia, thus APP
pearing as the liberator of Russia,
or backing the Bolshevists in return
for military support and economic
concessions in Russia.
The morning and afternoon ses-
sions OF the council of four to-day
marked further, though very Slight.
progress. A feeling OF slight relief
produced a crop of exaggerated OPP
timistic statements in the news

Lenine Anxious TO
Win Favor of L. :.

1t is understood here that Nikolai
Lenine is anxious to pave the way
for entering into conversations with
President Wilson and for that rea-
son facilitates the visit Of the fright
sort" of American correspondents
to Petrograd and Moscow in order to
gain a hearing for the Bolshevist
cause.
Since both President Wilson and
Premier Lloyd George are opposed
to taking any military measures
against Russia and to giving any
military assistance to the small
buffer states between Russia and
Germany, it is thought that the rec
ognition OF the Bolshevik govern
ment is only matter of a few
weeks.
Il is significant that in American
official circles the argument Is heard
that there is nothing to prevent the
United States from alone recogniz-
ing the Bolsheviki, just as America
was the first to recognize the
Czecho- -Slovaks. Then she might

IS the question Of military Justice

various other agencies are at work.
My earnest desire is to have every

Alarming Increase of Sale of Perfumes and Lotions
 Containing Alcohol

San Juan, June S.-Efforts are being
 made by the Porto Rican authorities to
 check the use as beverages of toncs, per-
 fumes and lotions containing alcohol. The insular treasurer. Jose c. Benedicro. 1 and~Dr. del Valle Sarraga of the health department, recently asked the house of representatives to enact legislation to prevent the use of such connections as intoxicating drinks.
 MT. Benedicto pointed out that it was legally permissible to alcohol for in duStrial purposes, under certain regula- tions, so that any Individual could pre- pare formula, have it approved by the treasury and health department and sell it freely throughout the island. Theo- retically, these preparations were not for to the health, but in practice it had been
 found that they were being drunk in ,, alarming quantities, he said. Their sale could not very well be stopped as they were permitted by law.
 Before prohibition went into force here" said MT Benedcto, "the alcohol used for industrial purposes in Porto Rico amounted to between TOGO and 5000 quarts month, whereas during last March no less than 52,000 quarts were used and in
 April. 56,000 quarts
 There were two methods of dealing with the question through the legislature, said MT. Benedicto. Either by seizing all those
 preparations which are being used as a drink, although manufactured under in sular permits, or by increasing the quar- terly license to manufacturers to $200 in stead of the $25 now being proposed, which would enable only the larger firms to manufacture such preparations and would take them out of the reach of the general public. Dr. del Valle informed the house of the measures which had already been adopt ed to prevent the use of such tonics for drinking purposes. At first. he said wood alcohol had been introduced into these preparations, but in view of the terrible effects it produced, this had been stop
 ped, for they would simply be leading
 those people who drank the preparations
 into total blindness. The other chemicals
 which had been introduced in order to

 Colored Men

Chicago. July n, n,ESpecial. )-wf1iie Mee han, the coast heavyweight, who holds a four-round decision over Heavyweight Champion Jack Dempsey, or Harry Wills,
 the kingpin of the colored heavies, is to
 have the first crack at the crown now
 worn by the Salt Lake youth who recent
 1y battered Jess Willard into submission. It is the general concensus of opinion
 that these two are the outstanding heavy
 weights conceded to have the best chance
 with the new champion.
 Atlantic City promoters have already offered Dempsey guarantee of $30,ooo,
 which is $25O0 more than he received for winning the title from Willard, to meet Meehan in an eight-round bout there on Labor Day. Meehan has already ex- pressed a willingness to meet Dempsey If the public demands that Dempsey fight Wills, we will take on that warrior and show him something" said Manager Jack Kearns in answer to the inquiry If the new champion would draw the color line
 Offers are coming thick and fast for the new champion, the latest being an offer
 by the Dondon club of a purse of Sl2o,o" for Dempsey to meet the winner Of the
