Washington, April 22.- Secretary
Lansing, it is learned, is the author
of the plan understood to have been
agreed upon by the associated gov
ernments for the recognition of the
Omsk government as the de facto
government of -Bolshevil<i Rus
sia From authoritative sources it
was further learned that the State
Department had entered into com
munication with the foreign offices
OF Great Britain, France and Italy
with view to working out the de-
tails of the plan.
Omsk, Siberia, April 22-American
readers of the great Russian novel
list, Dostoievsliy, who, exiled for a
political crime, spent four years at
hard labor in the fortress prison of
Omsk, would hardly recognize in the
Omsk of to-day the terrible condi-
tions which he depicted in his book,
"Recollections of the House of the
Dead" 1t was in 1S49 that Dostoiev-
sky began his term of exile and
passed through the experiences
which he so powerfully pictured lat

present half million population of
Omsk lives. The normal population
is one hundred thousand, but the con-
slant influx of refugees from the
centers of Bolshevism has swelled
the number of inha abitants. To find
house or apartment is not to be
thought of in the present day Omsk,
chosen as the capitol of the provis-
ional All-Russian government.
Omsk in its main thoroughfare has
many finely appointed office build
ings and some modern apartment
houses. The residential section con-

raising his voice, II am afraid the

He turned abruptly to General of
Horse Prince Salm-Horstmar, one of
our chief fire-eaters.
"Salm, the statistics we have worked
out" demanded William.
The Adjutant General handed him a
typewriter statement, bearing the
Kaiser's ceremonial signature. William
seemed to take special pride reading it
aloud
1 append a copy of the document, as
subsequently issued, by the general
staff.

And "old Henckep'-one of the chief
councillors-you couldn't drive away.
What. then, prevented William the
Sudden, from calling Il Crown Council
at any hour, day or night?
l heard of Crown Councils held in
trains, on lonely Peacock's Island, at
Rominten and various other out-of-the-
way hunting boxes, royal and other
wise,-any old place would do when the
Kaiser wanted to cloak the imposition
of his Will upon the people by the SEM
blance of constitutional endorsement.
AS the Spanish King. sacked by the
great Napoleon, at all times had a
monk handy to grant him absolution
when guilty of sin, so the Kaiser turned
the Crown Council to good account
! while the world war was Matching. For
the first time he wanted backing:
presto, the Crown Council out-dictatored
the dictator!
The Imperial Charger had been led
to the water :-"give him drink" COM
manded William the Crown Council.
AS everybody knows, William began
his career by trying to push his father
from the throne before and during those
miserable and painful 100 days. the
agony of which appalled, even the
Hohenzollerns' most outspoken enemies.
And he had been pushing and crowding
persons and affairs ever since.
Still, at the brink of the precipice,
there were moments when the blind
staggers of possible disaster laid a
heavy hand upon his shoulder
Truth About the Crown Prince
The Berlin Court was amazed and
moved to irreverent laughter by the
exalted opinions which a solitary Amer
lean writer expressed about the Crown
Princes talents, his diligence and sound
judgment. AS we know, and of course
ought to know best, William, Jr., is
quite an ordinary, rather "horsey
gent" who, shorn of rank and environ
ment, might have made n passable light
ming rod agent if he fell down on the
job of salesman in a shoe store. But
~ lmS:
If William, Sr., needed "bucking" up,
William, Jr, was the one to do the but
ting.
AS an American born Countess, be-
longing to the Munich Court set, put it ::
My, he does sass his old mani"
And if, perchance, the Kaiser showed
backbone-a commodity not much in
evidence in his family circle of late
years-the Crown Prince had n host
of auxiliaries to help him.
AS already remarked in passing there
was "old Henckel," Count Guy
HenckeD very anxious to augment his
enormous wealth by fair means or foul.
In the summer of 1914, he achieved
the ripe old age of "a, and as he
quantity said, had no time left for
moral or judicial niceties."

RAILROAD MEN ARE
 GIVEN TURN-DOWN
Wilson Says Wage Adjustments Must Wait Normal Conditions

Washington, Aug. 26-President Wilson having laid Gown i'll his deci- sion yesterday on the demand of the railroad shopmen for increased wages the policy that settlement of such de- mands must await restoration of nor naal economic conditions, interest cen tered today on what response the men would make to the presidents appeal that they cooperate in main taining a truce" in all wage matters. The first indication of what course the men would pursue was expected today lp announcement from their represen- tativeS here who continued in confer- cnce on he question with Acting President Jewell of the railway em- ployes department of the American Federation Of Labor.
 Anno ouncing that the mon wos4d be granted an increase of four cents an hour, President Wilson said in an ac- COmpanying statement that to meet their demand for an increase of 17 cents an hour from the present basic pay of 6S cents or 25 Ter cent would necessitate higher freight rates which would add 10 tho already high cost of living and thus defeat the govern mcnts effort to solve the most inn portant question before the country today, a return to normal price lev els.
 We are face tC face with situa- tion,' said the president (which is more likely to affect the happiness .and prosperity and even the life of our people than the war itself"
 The policy of deferring settlement Of increased wage demands pro- nounced by the president affects not only the railroad shopmen but also the hundreds of thousS nds of other railroad employees who have wage de- mands pending before the director general or who are about to present them.
 ''It goes without saving" the pres ident's statement said, "that our ef- forts to bring the cost of living down should fail, it would be of course nec- essary to accept the higher costs as a permanent basis of adjustment and railway wages should be adjusted along with the resi-
 Recommen dations to the president from Director General Hines as to the amount of increase to be given, made public with the presidents statement showed that pay increases already re- July 1, 1915, to August 1, 1919, were in excess Of the increase in the cost Of living during that period.
