RECOGNITION OF
.KOLCHAK LIKELY
French Have Impression Big
Four Plans Such Action
.. Soon.
U. s. is STILL UNDECIDED
All Reports Indicate Lenine
Regime Is Being Slowly
Crushed
j. S. is STILL UNDECIDED

PARIS. May 25.-The impression in
French circles to-day was that the
Council Of Four had decided unani-
mously to recognize the Government
Of Admiral Kolchak. the anti -Bol-
shevik leader, in Russia. At American
headquarters, however, 1t was said no
decision had been reached on the ques-
ton.
Interest in the Russian problem is
intensified by the dispatches from
Finland announcing that explosions
and fires have occurred in Petrograd.
This is interpreted as meaning that
the Bolshevik forces are destroying
their superfiuous ammunition supplies
preparatory to retreat southwark.
Helsingfors dispatches declare that
the Bolshevik demand for an armistice
from Admiral Kolchak has been refused
This. coupled with the reports Of anti
Boishevik advances upon Petrograd from
the north and west, as we'll as Kolchak's q
successes along the Trans-Siberian and
Gen. Denikine's advances from tho Don
district toward the Volga. Is regarded in
conference circles as proof that the Boil
shevik Ministers Lenine and Trotzky are
facing the worst crisis tho Bolshevik
Government has encountered.
The Bolshevik Premier. Lenine, wal
desirous OF having Nansen's revictuallins
offer put into operation without the ces-
sation of hostilities. and his efforts
through numerous messages TO open
diplomatic negotiations with the Entente
are regarded by the peace delegates as
signs of decided change OF front, prob
ably brought about by the threatening
military collapse due to the constant
tightening of the ring about Soviet Rus
sia.
The trip to omsk Of Roland 8. Norris,
the American Ambassador to Japan, Is
causing much discussion in the French
press. which Is speculating as to whether
the United States will reach a decision
on Russian affairs before Mr.. Morriss
report Il received.
Apparently the United States Is the
only one of the great Powers that has
not yet reached q conclusion with re-
spect to the Omsk Government
