GREAT TRAGEDY FEARED
By The Assoctated Press.

LONDON, April 3.-The curtain was
raised for the British pubic on the po-
sition OF the allied armies in north
Russia for the first time this after
noon. The serious situation in the
Murmansk region and the attempt by
troops on the Archangel front into the
sea are the cause Of much anxiety.
The London afternoon papers circu-
lated posters through the streets with
startling phrases, of which "The Brit
ish Army Imperilled" was typical.
The public bought the pa pers eagerly,
having no idea which army was re-
ferred to. Some of the papers de-
clared that another kut surrender or
Khartoum tragedy threatened.
Sir Ernest Shackleton. the explorer,
who has just returned from Russia,
where he superintended the winter out
fitting and feeding OF the expedition,
confirmed the danger to the allied posi-
tion and armies. He declares In an
interview that both fronts are in danger
and that the Bolshevist peril is a very

Cossack villages. They are trying under
the greatest difficulties to transport this
grain to Samara and are evacuating

PARIS, April SIT is unfortunately
impossible to record any real progress
toward a peace settlement or to over
come the impression that the MEM
bers of the Council Of -Four are vast
ing time in vain attempt to reconcile
the pro-German and -BolshevIst
proclivities of some Of their number
with the requirements of a sound and
lasting peace.
The moment when clear sighted
resolution is above all necessary the
conference leaders are showing neither
vision nor courage. They appear to
mistake interested sentimentality for
foresight and vanitous obstinacy for
courage. In these conditions the time
is fast approaching when the whole
truth about them and their doings
must needs be told in order to enable
the peoples whose wills they are mis-
representing and whose ideal and ma
terial patrimony they are mismanag-
ing to sit in judgment upon them.
Unless within a very short space they
mend their ways the publicity they
have Stunned will have to be invoked
as the only cure for their alterations.
In the meantime it will be useful to
place on record as near as possible an
approach to the truth in regard to one
OF the main issues which they have
steadtastly refused TO face. that OF
Russia
1t is now generally known in Paris
that the idea OF shameful deal" with
the Bolshevsts on the basis OF some
form OF allied American recognition of
the Lenine- -Trotzky government In re-
turn for economic. commercial and fnan-
cial concessions very nearly found ac-
ceptance in influential quarters here last
week. That idea was scotched fortu-
nately In the nick OF time, but 1t is by
no means killed. and is at present lurk-
ing underground.

this as II may, It is certain the I'M

THREAT TO FLOOD MINES
By the Associated PresS.

LONDON. April s.-Metal workers to
the number Of 10000 had gone on
strike in Berlin UP to Wednesday
evening, a despatch from the German
capital says.
. The strike in the Ruhr district Of
Germany has Unexpectedly spread ex-
tersively. 1t now includes the Krupp
works and 10000 persons are in
volved.
The despatch adds that the workers
in the Hamborn, Rhenish Prussia, dis
trlct were expected to join in the strike
to-day.
At a meeting of delegates in the
Central Ruhr coal region, according
to advices from Berlin. 1t was resolved
to cease after the 10th Of April keep
ing the pumps in operation, and that
therefore the flooding of the mines
must be reckoned with.
BERLIN, April delayed The
strikes both at Stuttgart and in the
Ruhr district seem to have been
checked by the energetic action of the
Government, by the prompt use OF
troops. martial law and other salutary
means.
Oficial reports from Stuttgart. sum-
marizing the situation there, say that
serious violence Is reported only from
Esslingen, where the Spartacans seized
weapons and automobiles. but surren-
dered them after negotiations. The
large number of non-residents among
the strikers was one OF the features
of the uprising. going TO prove that
the movement was, as claimed, purely
n political effort of the Radicals and
Independents to overthrow the Gov
ernment.
Troops Behave We'll.
The strikers at Stuttgart assembled
frequently yesterday despite the mar
tial law regulations. but were dis
persed. The leaders were arrested by
the troops and the Government was
master of the situation by nlghtfall.
The troops behaved splendidly, though
some Of them received rough treat
ment.
In the Ruhr district for a time the
strike was extended By several thou-
sand but the danger OF a general strike
subsided. The mines where the Spar
tacans prevail are still closed but IN
those sections where the union miners
and the Majority Socialists are in con-
troll the men refused TO close down.
Many decided to await developments, IN
the meantime continuing their work.
The situation at Frankfort is quiet
again. The number of victims OF the
riot has reached sixteen, but this num-
ber will probably be augmented, rs some
OF the wounded cannot hope to live
The funeral Of the four women who we're
killed took place this morning Ihe
damage from plundering is estimated TO
aggregate several million marks.

Clear Policy Needed.

Information derived from British off,
GERS who have returned from Russia
within the last few months and from
reports of French officers received by
courier to-day make clear that no task
IS now more urgent than that Of lay
ing down clear allied policy in regard
to Bolshevism and preparing a coherent
plan OF action.
According as a clear policy Is framed
and executed or as indecision continues
to prevail in allied councils the Allies

Bolshevism. 1t is not socialism but
anti-socialisn. 1t is not democratic but
anti-democratic
Il Is not soc!a! reform but armed
anarchy, destructive Of society II is
like n prairie fire with the immense
power OF devastating expansion. but TO
power OF construction. Men who have
lived for months In the midst of 1t and
have worked in disguise as 'rommis-
saries of the people" express the settled
conviction that only by the swftest
prophylactic and curative measures can
II be prevented from devastating the
greater part of Europe and assuring the
ultimate triumph OF Germanism. in
whose interests and in agreement with
which its main directors are guiding II.
At the moment Bolshevism is being
organized and commanded largely by
German officers and agents In southern
Russia. where German guns, laid by Ger
man officers, are being directed against
the allied forces and anti BolShevist
Russians. It's character is cleares'. In
northeastern Russia. where the Germans
were left by the armlstice TO stand as
"bulwark" against Bolshevism, there
is a tacit agreement between the Ger
mans and Bolshevists.

The Lithuanian and Esthonian forces
