Russia's White Army In
Desperate Need of
War Materials.
By Richard Henry Little.

Chicago Tribune Cable Copyright.o
Berlin. Aug. 1O.-Russia' White army
now in a death grapple with the bolshe-
viks, says it will be all over but the
shouting in a short time, if the entente
nations don't hurry big supplies Of war
materials. money and clothing to them.
Ten million dollars will land the White
army in petrograd before winter, it is
said.
The White army doesn't ask for en-
tente soldiers. The Russians say they
have plenty Of man power, but they must
have guns. airpanes, tanks. munitions
and clothing as soon as possible Inc
White army is now drawing good sup
plies Of food from America, but it must
have other things as well.
Lieut.. Colonel Dewahl Of the White
army now is in Berlin to secure the re
lease of Russian officers held by the
Germans as prisoners of war. He makes
strong appeal to the entente nations
TO rush supplies to the White army.
Colonel Dewahl says the White army
is growing rapidly because Of desertions
from the bolshevik forces and the great
er number Of volunteers Of those who
have before despaired Of orerthrowing
the revolutionary government He says
the greatest problem now is TO get of
ficers.
Visits Prison Camps.
Colonel Dewahl is visiting all the
prison camps in Germany and Poland, Sc
curing the release of Russian officers
who wish to fight with the White army.
No German officers are being accepted
by the White army.
Colonel Dewahl says Russian patri-
otism is showing the same devotion ex-
hibited by Washington's troops at Valley
Forge. Thousands Of men are fighting
clad only in shirt and trousers, The
barefoot legion makes long marches and
fights even more desperately than others
for the capture of prisoners. as a means
Of possession of pair Of boots The
bolsheviks are well clothed because they
draw supplies from the great military
depets Of Petrograd. which the imperial
government established to supply an ar
my Of several million.
The Russian White troops never sur
render. because the bolshevisks invariab-
IL shoot prisoners and sometimes bury
them alive The bolshevik soldiers cap
tured are not executed unless thew are
communists The death sentence is car
ried out by deserters from the bolsheviks
which insures that the converts will not
want to 20 back into the hands Of the
reds again
Follow Lenine's Policy.
The White army finds terrible ex-
amples Of Lenine's policy Of terror in
every town taken from the BoIsheviks

SETTLEMENT
0TREACHED
OVER SUNDAY
Enlargement Of Supreme
Court Obstacle to
Adjournment.
Looks Unfavorable Says
Edwards, Patient Lives
Ayers Gibson.
BY w. W. MOSES.

Helena, Aug. 10-With the opposing
forces in the supreme court deadlock
still apparently as obdurate as they
were Saturday night and with absolute
ly no evidences of conciliation Sunday
passed without giving promise of an
amicable settlement before the recon-
vening Of the legislative assembly.
Other than an information inference
between Edwards chairman of the SEN
ate section of the joint conference com
mittee, and Gibson chairman Of the
house side, no meetings of any character
were held Sunday, altho it was suggest
cd that few of the senate republicans
had gotten together in the evening to
discuss the question.
Senator Edwards said the situation
looked very unfayorable while Gibson
said the patient was still breathing but
intimated that its condition was ex
tremely precarious.
Governor Stands Firm.
Governor Stewart maintains his orig
inal position in that he will not permit
the legislature to name the two addi-
tional justices and in this he is under
stood to have the backing Of Senator
Edwards
Republican house leaders take the
stand. and quote a number of leading
lawyers Of the state as their authority,
that any appointments by the COVER
nor can hold only until their successors
can be named at the next general cleo
tion and that in consequence both addl-
tional judgeships would have to be filled
by the voters at the next election at
which time q justice will have to be
elected to the office now held by Asso-
ciate Justice W T. Holloway, whose
term will expire in January, 1921. This
would make three justices to be elected
at the same election. whereas the con-
stitution of the state provides that no
more than two justices of the supreme
court may be elected at any one cleo
ton.
Hope for Compromise.
1t is being talked among republican
house members that a resolution may
be introduced in the house by which the
house will agree to place in the bill the
names of two persons to be submitted
to it by the governor in order to OBJ
viate the possibility Of the election Of
three justices at the election in 1920.
Some Of the republicans say they will
agree to such program even tho the
governor should select two democrats,
which they think rather unlikely.
Not only are the leaders opposed to
violating the constitution making it nee
essary to elect more than two justices
at any one election but they express
fears Of other unsatisfactory conditions
arising therefrom, including the turn
over Of the majority Of the personnel Of
the court at one election and the posi-
bility Of all three judges being elected
by one political party or faction.
Fight on Bond Bill.
a big fight is promised in the house
for Monday over house bill II, providing
nponlc
question Of the issuance Of bonds in the
sum Of SJ.00O0OO for the development
Of the farming interests of the state
and the Improvement Of rural conditions.

Helena, Aug. 1O-While Ronald Hig-
gins. republican floor leader of the
house, not only positively denies that a
subpoena has been served on him from
the office Of the attorney general, re-
quiring him to appear ut 10 o'clock TO

the provisions Of the prohibition law.
Attorney General Ford said the suponea

applying extreme pressure to the British
at the peace conference, trying to get
them to reconsider the decision to with
draw their troops from north Russia.
claiming that the Bolsheviki will mas
sacre all friendly Russians who were in
side the allied lines once the British
evacuate.
The Russians make bitter complaints
against the American. French, and
British, asserting they landed con
tingents of soldiers at Archangel ana
in the Murmansk region, promised the
people there to protect them. made
friends with the natives. and then the
French and Americans suddenly desert
ed them. Now the British are putting
out and leaving the Russians to their
fate.
The British are unable to take the
civilian population away owing to lack
of steamships and because there is no
place to take them to.
The populatio is reported calmly re-
signing itself to death at the hands of
the Bosheyiki when the British
eyacuate.

today by the federal reserve board.
In reply to an inquiry from the
senate banking committee asking if
II was advisable to attempt contrac-
tion of currency by legislation in the
hope Of reducing prices, Governor
Harding wrote Chairman Mclean
that the growth in the volume of
circulating notes was the effect and
not the cause of advancing wages and
prices and that the war period of f.
nance would not be over until govern
ment obligations, now carried by
hanks. were absorbed thru actual
savings of the people.
Strong censure OF strikes and ex-
travagance was implied In Mr.. Hard
ing's letter which did not undertake
to blame any one section of the pop
ulation but referred to the nation as
a whole, especially to the relaxation
of economies practiced during the war
and the purchase now of non-essen
tiaI articles by persons enjoying large
