HANSEN FINDS IT
 DIFFICULT TO
 REACH LENINE
(By The Associated Press)


 Paris, April 19.-Dr. Fridjof Nan sen, head of the commission to feed Russia, is having difficulty in getting in touch with Nikola Lenine, Rus san bolshevik premier, concerning the reyictualling of Russia on condi- tion that the bolsheviki cease hostili- ties. The wireless service of the en- tente countries apparently are not available. and a messenger will be sent to Norway to communicate Dr. Nansens messages to Moscow. Con- sequently Lenine's reply probably will not be available for several days.
 The French press is showing. a hostile attitude towards the revict- ualling plan. One newspaper de- scribes it as another "Prinkipos" and several charge that it is an attempt by the Americans to ingratiate them- selves to obtain concessions, and scout the suggestion of humane, rath- CT than political motives.
 Although the American peace dele gation has repeatedly stated that Will liam c. Bullitt and Lincoln Steffens were not empowered to negotiate with the bolsheviki when they recent ly visited Russia, the fact that they were accompanied by Captain w. w Petit, of the United States army lent such official coloring to the party that both the French and English newspapers are inclined to regard the delegation as official and credit the revictualling plan to its report.

ALLIES DECIDE TO RECOGNIZE 0MSK
 GOVERNMENT
Disapprove Plan Of Send ing The Armies Into
 Russia.

Washington, April 19.-Decision of the governments of Great Britain, France, Italy and the United States to accord recognition to the Omsk government as the de facto govern mcnt of all non-bolsheviki Russia, was reached after several other plans had been discarded, it was learned today from official sources. Among the proposals rejected were the sending of large allied forces into southern and northern Russia and Siberia and the recognition of regional governments controlled by Russian opposing the bolsheviki.
 Plans for sending armies into Rus sia were disapproved with little dis cusion, it was said, but the proposal to recognize the regional govern ments was rejected only after vigor- ous protests had been lodged with the peace conference delegates by every faction of loyal Russians. This plan included recognition of the Omsk government, that of Denikine, the government of the north at Archan- gel and the establishment of num- Der of small cossack leaders on the Lon, at OrCnDuTS dIu III tHc OIdlS.
 Russians Object.
 When this matter was presented to the Russian representatives in Paris and London, they instantly objected on the ground that a united front must be presented against the bolshe- wiki in the cast. The Russians also expressed fear that recognition of regional governments would eventual ly lead to the recognition of the bol- shevik who control a large area il western and central Russia.
 Since he has been at Paris, Presi. dent Wilson, it was learned today has been kept advised of conditions 1T Siberia through agents sent to Omsk These agents penetrated into Euro pcan Russia, as far as the Siberian forces controlled the situation ant were understood to have reported tha the people freed from the menace of the bolshevik terrorists were firm in their opposition to bolshevism Representatives of the allied govern ments sent into Siberia were said tt have made similar reports.
 Other agents were dispatched t, southern and northern Russia and of ficials said their reports contained valuable information not only re garding the attitude of the Russian people but also as to economic con ditions.
