MOVES IN RUSSIA
Big Changes in Situation Are
Expected Soon.


PARIS, May 6.--Specialists on Russian
subjects attached to various allied dele
cations at the Peace Conference expect
decided changes in the Russian situa-
ton within the next few weeks.
The Finnish military movement which
has been threatening Petrograd and
which has been shrouded with mystery
Is now well defined. Gen. Udenitch and
1000 Russians operating with him have
the support OF the Finnish Government
and troops. and have recruited large
numbers of Russian peasants who have
become tired of Bolshevik acquisitions.
Gen. Cdenitch has occupied Petrol
Avodsk Olonetz and Ladelnce Pole. east
OF Lake Ladoga, and thus controls the
southern end Of the Kola railway. The
escape OF the Bolshevikl operating
against allied forces In the Kola penin-
sula has been made impossible and COM
munication between the Moscow Gov
eminent and the Thurman coast has been
cut. Under the direction OF Gen. Ude-
mitch and the leaders OF the Finnish
troops there the residents OF the Karelia
district are apparently preparing to
launch movement looking to their
annexation to Finland This would give
Finland the Kola railway and a northern
outlet to the Arctic.
The Russian committee working for
united Russia here is decidedly unfavor-
able to such a step and is trying TO block
it. Many persons believe the Entente
Powers are encouraging the Udenitch

Seven Types Designated

Since Arrnistice Said To
Be Regarded With Alarm

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Contracts
for at least 500 airplanes of the latest
types will be awarded American manu-
facturers under plans prepared by the
army air service and sent to Secretary
Baker to-day for his consideration. The
primary purpose would be to keen the
industry in such condition as would in
sure its rapid expansion to meet the
requirements Of national emergency.
Seven types Of planes have been ap-
proved by the American air service as
representative of the most modern de-
velopments in aviation. They are the
LIE Pere observation, the Hoening
monoplane, the Thomas Morse scout.
the U. S. D. "a day bomber, the
Voight training plane, the Martin day
bomber and the Ordnance Engineer
pursuit plane.
Six Developed by United States
The contracts under contemplation
would be divided among these types
so as to insure the maintenance of
sufficient machinery and personnel at
all times to permit the ready expan-
sion for larger orders. With the ex-
ception of the Voight, all seven types
were developed in the United States
during the war.
The rapid disintegration of the air
plane industry in this country from
the preeminent position it had reached
just at the time of the signing of the
armistice has been viewed with anx-
iety by officials here. One officer ex-
pressed the opinion to-day that if
necessity arose at this time the United
States would find itself in almost the
same situation regarding aviation as
obtained in April. 1917, and that more
than year would be required again
to bring the manufacturing facilities
to the standard required.
Service Planes Scarce
Officers declared the popular idea
that q great surplus of aviation ma
terial exists in the United States is
entirely erroneous. While hundreds of
training planes are on hand. the facili-
ties for producing service planes, es-
peclally of the latest types, according to
officials, have never reached safe"
margin of production.
Definite information that Great Bri-
tain and France are encouraging
domestic airplane manufacturers to
perfect the most modern designs of
flying craft has reached the War De-
partment and has strengthened the pur-
pose of American officials to prevent
this country from falling behind.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-While not
attempting to outline a definite policy
for reorganization Of National Guard
units, Secretary Baker to-day said he
hoped the state troops to be formed
under existing authority-the Hay
Chamberlain bill which passed in 1916
would be so formed as to be readily
converted into full divisions with CON-
Blatant strength of q, 900 troops.
Secretary Baker suggested also that
efforts be made to perpetuate the or
CARNATIONS which served in the world
war, and he promised that ample finan-
clal assistance would be sought at the
coming Congress to make possible ex-
tension of the organized militia to ev-

pointment."
