 Officials recalled that Great Britain was the first nation to declare against the bolshevik regime in Russia. France soon followed with a similar declara- tion Secretary Lansing in formal note to the allied belligerents and to neutrals asked that the bolsheviki be regarded as enemies of all govern ments Later it was stated replies re- ceived by the state department indi- cated the civilized nations of the world were arrayed definitely against the bolsheviki.
 The United States repeatedly has made it plain it would aid in the rehabilitation of Russia and the re- storation of government of law and order in that country as far as com patible with it's policy of noninterfer- ence It has furnished substantial aid to the governments at Omsk, Arch angel and in the Don Cossack region.

Paris. January 1.-The socialist newspaper Humanite was the only morning journal that printed Foreign Minister Pichon's reply to Great Bri- tain regarding the latter's proposals concerning the Russian bolsheviki, and apparently was the only paper having access to copy/of the document. Hu- mantle printed the text of the reply correctly with the exception that it had 1t dated December instead of January 5.

 'Tf the indscretion of Humanite was repreh ble-and we like to be- lieve that the conference of the allied publication of diplomatic documents shall not occur in such fashion-we cannot regret greatly that M Pichon's response has seen the light of day.
 After the stories of atrocities which Scavenius Harold Scavenius, Danish minister to Russia), has reported from Russia, after the intervention of Mus covite bolsheviSi in German riots and the speech of Karl Radek (bolshevik agitator, who has been in Berlin for sometime), promising to bring war along the Rhine, we are pleased at the vigor with which the foreign minis ster refuses to treat with bolShevism as a regular government"

WAR RISK INSURANCE
 IS PAYING BUSINESS

Washington, January n.-(Special) While old line insurance companies would refuse to insure the life of a man about to engage in deadly warfare, it is provable that a business entailng such risk is highly profitable.
 Premiums paid the government under war risk insurance last year amounted to about s46, ,000,0 ,00o. Losses were about $3O,- O00,0o0 A business producing a surplus of s16000,000 would be regarded generally as paying business. The profits of or dinary insurance companies, excluding it's risks to lives of men engaged in ordi nary business pursuits, can only be guessed at.
 The government will make it's war risk insurance permanent, according to an nouncement by Col. Henry D. Lindsley, director of the war risk insurance bu- reau. Terms will be made as liberal as possible. It is said that one departure to be inaugurated will permit the pay ment of premiums through postoffices.
 War risk insurance is held by 4,O00,Uo soldiers, sailors and marines. The re- cord consists of 3o,000,000 pieces Twen- ty-six tons of such records were brought to the United States by Colonel Lind- sley on his recent return from France.
