Kolchak.

The figure of Kolchak, commander
nchief of the anti bolshevik forces of
the Omsk government-now pressing
forward vigorously from western ST.
IBERIA against the red tyrants of Russia,
looms large in the Slav dreams of a
free Russia at this time. Faced with
the combined forces at Archangel in
the north, with the Firms under Gen.
Mannerheim and the anti-bolshevik
Russian force under Gen. Udenich in
the west, with the Ukraine troops I'M
der Denekine in the south, it is Kol-
chak, advancing with hts army from
the west, who strikes most potently at
the heart of bolshevism. For it is Kol-
chak who has made the first strides
toward uniting the hitherto hopelessly
divided antagonists of the so-called
communists.
The purposes of Kolchak, thorough.
ly credited by the Russian embassy in
this country, with whom he is in as
close touch as may be maintained, are
| simple, and, to the American view
point, praiseworthy. He does not pro-
pose the establishment of himself or
any particular party in control Of Rus

An All-States Society.

Representatives of fourteen differ
emit state associations met yesterday
and organized an all-states society in
execution Of plan that has for some
time been in contemplation. The state
societies in this city have in late years
been increasing in number, until now
there are over thirty. They are -four
shing organizations and serve most
admirable service in maintaining state
traditions and fostering Friendships.
IN all-states society is calculated to
increase the usefulness Of the indi-
vidual state organizations by stimulat-
ing their distinct and separate activ-
tiles and will serve valuable purpose
also in furnishing immediate commu-
nication between the people of the
District and the country at large. An
all states celebration is now proposed,
with tentative plans under considera-
ton to produce a striking demonstra-
ton Of the patriotic spirit that with
out yielding in fealty to the common
wealths of their origin inspires all who
come from the states to the Capital
city with devotion to the United States.

Hawker Hops Off.

Harry Hawker's start on a straight
away flight from Newfoundland to Ire
land is a really much more thrilling
undertaking than the flight Of the
NC-4 last week to the Azores. For in
the long glide overseas Hawker has
had no destroyers to mark his route,
and to render him aid in case he is
compelled to descend. He had to strike
out his own course and pursue it I'M
assisted. 1t is much longer course
than that to the Azores, comprising over
1000 statute miles. There are the
same perils of storm and fog on the
northerly course that are to be en-
countered on the southern. If Hawker
lands at Valentia bay, or anywhere in
Ireland, in fact, he will have made
the longest nonstop flight on record.
His machine is smaller than the NC4
and faster, being capable Of an aver
age of 100 miles an hour, as against
about eighty for the American naval
plane.
There is no disposition to lessen the
importance of the achievement of the
naval plane NC4 in its straight.
away flight to the Azores by reason
Of the presence Of destroyers at forty
mile intervals along the course. Her
commander reports, as matter of
fact, that some of the warships were
off the line. That they aided him in
keeping his direction is not to be
doubted, but it must be borne in mind
that the Azores constitute very small
mark in the sea, and that to hit them
with or without guidance is . remark

|. At the same time, there can be no
doubt that the time has come for Con-
gress to cut the corners. Substantial
reductions in appropriations should be
made. Economizing is necessary. The

axation-bearing it with but small
complaint now, but their feelings will

all superfuous drafts on their re-
sources stopped. Millions for needful
things, but not cent for superfluities.
OF course, the task consists of choos-
ing the needful things. The govern
ment needs many things. Among the
number may be mentioned an Army
and Navy of adequate size. An ade
quate merchant marine should be en-
couraged. Likewise will money be we'll

Rantzau Quits Versailles.

| Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, after
a hurried trip from Versailles, has re-
turned. 1t is believed that he went to
Spa for consultation. While he was
on the road President Ebert was again
declaring that Germany will never sign
the peace terms. If Rantzau is indis-
posed to accede to the treaty he would
seem to have the support of the gov
eminent at Berlin in that attitude.
On the other hand, a member of the
German delegation at Versailles who re-
turned there recently from Berlin is re-
ported to have said that the delegates
will sign because they would be hacked
to pieces if they returned to Berlin
without signing. This strongly sug-
gests that the government officials at
Berlin in their emphatic denunciations
Of the treaty and declarations Of re-
fusal to sign are not voicing the popu-
lar sentiment
The transmission of notes to the al
lied peace council that bore evidence
of having been prepared in Berlin be-
fore departure for France strengthens
the belief that the delegation went to
France with the fixed idea of insisting
upon the role of negotiators despite
the specific requirement that they
should come with plenipotentiary pow
ers, and the clear understanding that
upon the role Of negotiators, despite
that the delegates were to be present
cd with the treaty in its final form. Pos
sibly Rantzau's departure may be ex-
planned on the ground that he has dis
covered the impossibility Of compel
ling the allied council to receive him
a negotiator and is unwilling to
60 through to the humiliating end of
accepting treaty. for the change Of
which there is no chance.
By next Thursday Germany will
doubtless have presented through her
delegates at Paris an argumentative re-
ponse to the treaty terms, possibly
couched as a refusal to sign without
amendment. This refusal, however,
will not be final.
It will evoke an answer, the tenor of
which is safely to be assumed as a
peremptory refusal to open the treaty
to further discussion or change. There
will probably then be another time
limit for final acceptance or rejec:
! ton. By the LIST Of June in all prob
ability the decision will have been
reached, and it will then appear
whether German buster has behind it
any of the true quality Of heroism.

The Sixty-Sixth Congress.

The interest and the hope of the
country are centered in Congress. The
responsibilities Of that body at this
r. time could not easily be exaggerated
They relate to both foreign and do,
mestic matters, some entirely new
and all very important The great
problem is to put together again the
many things dislocated by the war
and gear up the governmental machine
for service under new conditions.
Let US all congratulate ourselves
therefore, on the fact that the ar,
engagements on Capitol Hill show both
parties under competent and expert
enced direction, and ready for long
siege Of hard work.
In the House the republicans have
bestowed the speakership on the east
the floor leadership on the west. The
northwest gets the "whip," and the
two nlost important Of the chairman
ships-that Of ways and means, and
, that Of appropriations. The demo
Gratis have bestowed the floor leader
/: ship on the middle country, and the
' leading minority places on the lead
ing committees on the south.
In the Senate the east gets the ma
jority leadership, and the middle
T west the presidency pro tempore and
. the "whip." The leading chairman
ships are well. divided among the sec
: tions. The minority leadership goes
to the south, and southern men head
the minority membership on the prin-
cipal committees. The south being the
/. seat Of democratic power deservedly
fares well in the democratic distribu-
ton.
r A special word may be said respect
ing Champ Clark. 1t would have been
more than surprising had be been de-
MED the leadership. Of the minority.
His candidacy appealed on the score
of ability, experience and reputation
made in Office. He was easily the
! proper man for the place. To have
reduced him to the ranks would have
sbeen q greater reflection on his party
than on him.
y His selection is a notice not likely
to be misread by the majority. The
minority goes into action under its
best legislative general. He has plan
ned and won battles. He probably has
"a clear perception Of what the pres
ent situation calls for from the minor
ity. His friends are booming him for
the presidency; and, if Mr.. Wilson
ywithdfaws the Wilson boom, the Clark
boom may boom loudly. Hence there
lis opportunity now for Mr.. Clark to
add to his reputation, and strengthen
himself for next year.
In the coming twelve months a
memorable chapter of congressional
history is certain to be written, the
effects Of which will probably be felt
as long 40 the republic lasts.
