Big Driue on ArchangeL
Front rs Intended Soon

LONDON, Feb. 27. What is pur-
ported to be q copy of the full military
plans of the Bolsheviki in Russia dur
ing 1919 has come into the possession
of the British government. 1t gives in
teresting information on what the Boil
sheviki hoped to accomplish and an
idea OF their strength in the light Of
what has happened up to this time.
One of the principal offensives was
Planned for the Archangel front, where
The results up to the present are we'll
known. 1t is indicated, however, that
the Bolsheviki are massing troops
there for greater effort later They
plan to maintain only a defensive force
on the Thurman front and on the Finn
ish frontier.
In the west the Bolsheviki decided to
undertake an attack from Narva to
Dvinsk, with the object of overrunning
Esthonia and Letvia and occupying
Riga, Libau and Reval They have
captured Riga and still hold it. They
also took Libau, but have been driven
out. The plans to hold Esthonia have
TAILED completely, and the advance into
Letvla has been checked east of Libau.
The Bolshevik plan of following the re-
tirIng German regiments in Western
RUSSIA and organizing the territory
under military administration has been
successful.
The Bolsheviki have been successful
in their plarfs to overrun the Ukrainr
and to force the anti Bolshcv;k yolun-
tcer army and the Cossacks across the
River Don Their plans to hold the
northern part Of the Caucasus and to
take all the Caspian ports have been
ghaftered, however, by the army Of
General Denikine. %
On the. east they planned to attack
on o. t~o wings toward Orcnburg, where
they nave been successful, and toward
Ekaterinburg, where they have been de-
Ieated' and arc now $50 miles from
their objective. '.

CiiIett an Unsparing
administration Critic;
IN Congress Since 1892

Frederick Huntington Gillett, who is
to be the next Speaker Of the National
House of Represo has served
in Congress as the Representative of
the I'd District of Massachusetts, since
the convening of the SD Congress in
1892. He was born at Westfield, Mass,
October Is, 1851. He was graduated
from Amherst in 1874 and from Har-
ward Law School in 1877. Before his
election to Congress he was an Assist
ant Attorney General of Massachusetts
and served in the Massachusetts Legis-
lature in 1890 and 1891.
MIR Gillett announced his candidacy
for the Speakership December 10. Soon
afterward it transpired that Mr.. Mann
had been accepting presents of So beef
steaks from certain Chicago packers,
and thereupon it became a practical
certainty that Gillett would defeat
Mann when the new House caucused to
select successor to Mr. Clark
Ever since Mr.. Wilson entered the
White House, except the period this
country was in the war, Mr.. Gillett has
been an unfailing and unsparng critic
of democratic policies. He was one of
the first to turn the batteries of ridi-
cule upon William Jennings Bryan,
According to him, William G. McAdoo,
the former Secretary Of the Treasury
and Railroad Administrator, was the
POO Bah" man of the administration.
Mr.. McAdoo further was coupled by
the derisive member from Massachu-
setts with his illustrous father-in-law
in the term "the reigning family"

nection with Democratic bungling be-
fore the war, and early in Mr.. Will

lied the President as the most extrava-
CANT chief executive the nation ever
had.
Soon after Mr.. Wilson was inaugu.
rated, Mr. Gillett declared that Con

racy only a rubber stamp Speaking

ing Democrats" and various Presiden-

characterized President Wilson as as ~ -
despot and head spokesman of the
Democratic party
Criticised Bryan's Policies
Mr.. Bryan's foreign policy and mis-
efforts at concluding arbitration trea-
ties, while the Mexican situation was
being constantly bungled were de-
clared to be nothing short of ridiculous
and "dlsgusting to patriotic Ameri-
cans"
Mr.. Gillett later became the ranking
Republican member of the House Com
mittee on Appropriations, and when

agance.
"Ihe Executive" he said, "has been
more reckless and improvident than
Congress and with less excuse. As
long as the Executive shows no ap-
probation of his responsibility, Con
gress can hardly be expected to as
sumo entire responsibility and practise
self denial"

Navy Scandal, Says
Secretary Daniels
Netc York. Tribune
Washington Bure1u

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels denied to-day that
members of Congress and prominent
New York city officials were involved IN
the graft scandal of the New YORK
Naval district, now being Investigated
by naval intelligence officers under
the direction of Major Jonn Muir.
When given the names of the legia-
lators and city officials said to have
been involved in the conspiracy to
defraul the government by procuring
bomb proof jobs for wealthy young
men, Secretary Daniels said:
"None Of these men has the remot-
est connection with the charges in the
New York Naval district. Civilians
sgainst whom we are getting evidence
are wholly unknown to me, and Ger
tainly are not connected il any way
with the Congress or the city admin
istraton of New York"
Asked if he had heard the runner
that Brooklyn representative had
guaranteed a man a job n the Brook
lyn Navy Yard, Secretary Dsniels said
that members of Congress aid not con-
troll employment in the Brooklyn yard.
"No member Of Congress can guar
antee anybody position in a navy
yard" Mr.. Daniels said. "The ap

La Cuardia Picked
For President of
Board of Aldermen
Demotion of Costigan Ex-
pected to Cause Retire
ment of Moran; Fusion
lists Making Their Plans

The demotion of former Inspector
Costigan by Commissioner Enright
and the refusal of Acting Mayor Moran
to answer the letter of the Citizens
Union requesting an investigation of
the demotion has led to plans for the
nomination of Major f. Fl. La Guardia,
member of Congress from the 18th
District, for Pres dent of the Board Of
Aldermen at the election next fall.
Major La Guardia, who has fine
record in the aviation service of the
Italian army, and who is regarded as
an exceptional vote getter. was nc
elected last fall by fusion of the
Republicans and Democrats in the Nth
District against Dr.. Scott Nearing,
Socialist.
In Brooklyn yesterday it was learned
that Senator William NJ. Calder and
Public Service Commissioner Kracke
are backing Major La Guarda for the
place, and it is understood that Chair
man Samuel S. Koenig, of Manhattan,
and John j. Knewitz, The Bronx Re-
publican leader, are in favor of the
move.
Squiers Won't Run
The tentative selection of Major La
Guardia as a fusion candidate was not
made until it was learned that Alder
mn Arnon L. Squiers, Republican
leader Of the board, had declared him
self out Of the race.
The vote cast by naturalized Italians
and by the younger generation with
Italian parentage has grown very rap
idly in New York during the last few
years. Major La Guardia is a great
favorite with Italian voters. The labor
leaders also have asked him to become
a candidate. He was counsel for the
Walters Union in its recent strike.
Mr.. Moran's alignment with the Hy-
Ian Hearst combination in Manhattan
and his affront to the Citizens Union
has stung the pride of the indepen-
dents, and it was learned yesterday that
they will cheerfully cooperate in the
nomination of Major La Guardia
Brooklyn Is Interested
The candidacy of Major La Guardia
will afford the Democrats opposed to
lyn, who seem to be deeply incensed
over the action of Mr.. Riegelmann in
breaking up the citizens committee for
the welcome of returning soldiers, an
opportunity to vote against McCooey's
candidate for Surrogate and the Brook
lyn boss $4,000 job.
Representative La Guardia will not
have to resign his seat in the House to
run for President Of the Board of
Aldermen.
1t is admitted by the Tammany lead
ers that they will be in poor shape for
hard battle next fall. Five thousand
saloons and hotels will have been put
out of business. Without the aid of
the saloons it is believed by the work
ers that Tammany will be short about
$4,000 votes in Manhattan alone. The
Republicans are going to make the
most of Mayor Hylan's hob-nobbing
with the plutocrats at Palm Beach.
The Citizens Union has written two
letters regarding the demotion of Cos
tigan, one to Acting Mayor Moran and
the other to Mayor Hylan. Thus far no
answer has been received to either.

81 A TON AF TER

Spokane Company AS
sents to Cut to Escape
Seizure.
Mr.. Palmer's statement follows:

Spokane, Dec. 6.-Moves in two cases
of alleged boarding of food and fuel were
made by the United States government
here, when orders for the seizure of o.
100000 pounds of sugar and 10000 tons
of gas coke were issued by United States
District Judge Il. Il. Cushman. The net
result was a reduction in the retail price
of coke of 81 n ton in this city.
The libel action brought to effect sci
zure of the coke was dismissed without
prejudice on petition of District Attorney
+. A. Garrecht, after an agreement had
been reached between representatives of
the district attorneys office, the grand
jury, the city, the local fuel administra-
ton and the Spokane Falls Gas Light
company, and tho Hawkeye Fuel com
pany, OF this city, against which the
suit was brought.
BY this agreement, the retail price OF
coke To the consumer was reduced ST a
ton to 81 at the pile and $S25 ton
in the first delivery zone for screened
coke. Lack of proper facilities for its
sale and delivery under government di-
reetion was said to have been n factor
in reaching this decision.

by the United States district attorney.

Washington, Dec. Before
the fact of President Wilson's
compromise plan for settling the
coal strike had been announced
tonight, Fuel Administrator Gar
field, issued an announcement
that the strike could not be COM
promised with the governments
consent in any fashion that
would involve an increase of the
price of coal to the public.
The question tonight in Wash
ington is whether DR.. Garfield's
very decided pronouncement in
the matter still holds, under the
compromise to be submitted to
the recalled convention of miner
chiefs as the proposal of Presi-
dent Wilson.
Declaring himself "sick and
tired Of proposals to make the
people bear additional burdens"
DR.. Garfield said the fuel admin
istration alone had authority to
increase coal prices necessary to
pay wage advances in excess of
the IA per cent proposed by the
government. So long as he was
fuel administrator, he said, no
advance in the price to the con-
sumer for this purpose would be
allowed.

that miners and operators in that state

would interpose no objection if the in
