To Aid Republicans.

Admiral Kolchak said his aim in unit
ing Russia would be to cooperate with
responsible leaders like Gen. Denekine.
Discussing the internal political situa-
ton, he explained that there were three
clearly defined groups In the country.
First, the people supporting the gov
eminent in it's efforts TO reconstruct
Russia along constitutional lines, and
with suitable help from America and
the allies, to ~annihilate B~olshevism:
second, the reactiOnary element which
is avowedly striving for the restoration
of the monarchy, and third, the reYo-
~lutionary socialists who might at any
time fall back into Boisheyisrl.
Asked if he favored allied and Amer
lean intervention, the admiral said:
II was just getting TO that, Russia
today is terribly disorganized and needs
financial, economic and industrial help
from America and the allies, but es-
pecially requires munitions and clothes
for the gallant army which is suffer-
ing from lack of essential garments.
Concerning Intervention east of the
Urals, ] would welcome attachments
of American, English and French
troops, not for fighting necessarily, but
for the moral effect they would pro-
duce on the Russian army. Communi-
cation with Russia is difficult n en-
envy propagandists are active. II the
troops with their W eyes saw Amer
lea and the allies backing them in
their cause, the fight against terrorism
would be certainly
This would not be Intervention in
Russian affairs. 1T Quiz help win the
salvation of the nation. My present
army Of $50, 900 men IS sufficient to
conquer the Bolsheyists # clothed and
supplied with munitions"
In closing the interview. Admiral Kol-
chalk voiced gratitude for the assistance
America had given to Russia and said
he prayed for its continuance.

Asks American Approval.

Admiral Kolchak said he was anxious
that the American people should alter
their conception of his program of re-
construction, adding that the work Of
the dictator is liable to cause misunder-
standings. He then proceeded to JUST
fy the coupe by which he gained con-
tIol of Omsk.
The interview took place in the close
ly guarded official residence overlook
ing the frozen Irish river. Admiral
Kolchak appears to be about 60 years
of age and gives the general impression
of d Ia of power and of iron win.
The admiral explained hat the two
great necessities of Russia are the ere
alton of an army n the destruction
of BolsheNism. He considers that a
directorate over the country was not
feasible, first. because the military sit
uation demanded that power be placed
in the hands of one man, and second,
some members were partisan and used
their influence to d~isorEanize the army,

M. Venizelos expressed the opinion
it was impossible to refuse to allow
more than 1900, 900 Greeks living in
Asia Minor and the islands near that
coast to join their mother country. He
pointed out that those Greeks for 30
centuries have "uninterTuptedly held in
Asia Minor and the islands a predomi-
hant situation, which is manifested in
the economic civilizing supremacy of
the Hellenic element there"
He does not believe the peace con-
gress a intrust the fate of the Chris
tian population of the Ottoman empire

have answered the pressure of the pow
ers for reforms in favor of Christians
by massacreing them Wholesale"

to it would create as favorable an impression as would
result from a ride in the car.
Even now we hesitate to praise the Essex since we can

DOING BIG WORK
Humane Society of Shawnee
County Files Report.
735 Cases Were Handled in the
Last Year.

The remarkable work being done in
Topeka and Shawnee county by the
Kings, agents for the Foster Humane
society, is shown in the twenty-second
annual report issued by Kilmaurs W.
King. This report shows that more
than 735 specific cases were handled
by them during the last year. Not
only have the sick and needy been
assisted but hundreds of cases of
cruelty to animals and children have
been investigated. And when the
Kings make an investigation they get
results.
A total of 225 cases of cruelty and
neglect of children were investigated
and twenty-three cases brought be-
fore the Juvenile court. There were
hundreds of cases in which horses
and mules being worked in an unfit
condition were suspended until they
improved; were rough shod to pro-
tect them in slippery weather, and
relieved from the inhumane treatment
of brutal owners.
The Kings have done much to check
the wave of immortality that swept
over the city during the war days.
Four cases of this nature were
brought into the court of Topeka and
the defendants all bound over to the
district court.
