To Recognize
Onsl> Regime
Washington Hears Entente
and United States Will
Aid North Russian Foes
Of Reds After the Treaty

WASHINGTON. April 1s.-Great in
terest has been aroused in official and
diplomatic circles here, it was learned
To-Day, private advices from Lon
don stating that Great Britain. Franco.
Italy and the United States propose to
recognize the Omsk government as tho
de facto government of non -Bolshevik
Russia as soon as the peace treaty is
signed and the details incident to it
have been concluded.
This proposed solution of the Russian
problem is said in these private ad
vices to have been intimated by Pre-
mier Lloyd George in discussions of
the situation with British and Russian
leaders in London. Some officials here
suggested that portions Of the address
of the British Premier in the House Of
Commons this week could be taken as
indicating that the associated powers
had agreed to recognize the Omsk GOV
ernment
President Wilson, it was learned
authoritatively to-day, has information
that an appearance of Bolshevik
strength now is being made through
the concentration Of the armed forces
at single points at the sacrifice of the
rest OF Russia. The President also
has been informed, it was said. that
BolsheVism rapidly is losing ground
among the peasant classes and even IN
some Of the cities, and that with the
receipt of the food supplies which the
associated governments have decided
TO furnish the movement viii quickly
collapse.
The Paris conferrees have been kept
advised of the situation in Siberia.
where the Onsk government generally
has been successful, despite local
troubles in the eastern portion, officials
said. The London advices are said to
point out that the stability of all sec
tlons of non-European Russia under the
control of non Bolshevists had led to
the decision 10 recognize the Onsk
government as de facto.

"Thc next time, remember, the Ger
mans will make no mistakc,' said
Marshal Foch. "They will break
through into Northern France and seize
the Channel ports as base of opera
tions against England. They failed the
last time because they did not believe
England would come in, and when they
found she was coming in, it was too
late to change their plan.
"You think the Germans will have
no arms for another attack? Ho, Ho.
How do you know? By the time you
found out that they had, it would be
too late"

Marshal Foch said pray impress that

Remember, those seventy million
Germans always will be a menace to

people. Their characteristics are not

Marshal Foch then discussed with
the spondcnt the possibilities of
another war Asserting that what
saved the Allies at the beginning of
the present war was Russia. he asked
on whose side Russia would be in the
next war, with US or with tho Ger
mans?'
The Marshal then argued that only
on the Rhine itself would it be posi-
Bile to arrest the Germans in the event
Of another attack. He talked long and
earnestly about the Rhine. and said
that some people would object that it
would take too many troops to hold
the river.
"But it will not take so many as it
would to hold political frontier, for
the Rhine may be crossed only at Ger

church at 3:15 yesterday afternoon
for Limerick Ireland, on the first leg
of Major Woods proposed trip by air
plane across the Atlantic
There is an unconiirmed report that
wireless dispatch was received from
Woods airplane when it was over

was somewhat out Of his route, as he
had intended to fly over Wales and
Holyhead.
Two airplanes were seen at 4:3O yes
tcrday afternoon travelling at great
height over the island Of Anglesey, in
the Irish Sea, off the Welsh coast, but
Major Wood could not have made such
great distance in such a short time
after his ascent at Eastchurch
descended at some remote point and,
because of the day being Good Friday
and small local telegraph Offices being
closed, he has been unable to commu-
nicate with this city.
There is much speculation, however,
various mishaps being suggested as
possible causes for Majos Woods delay
one being that the transatlantic air
man had fallen into the Irish Channel
1t was suggested that the long petrol
tank on the machine might have been
caught in an adverse wind, causing the
plane to somersault.

Yesterday began the distribution of a

sci, are supposed to be making and

When the Internal Revenue collectors
refused to issue stamps for beer of

HOOD WOULD
CURB POWERS
OF GOVERNOR
Bill Repeats Authority of Executive
to Employ Attorney in Cases In
volving State

Repeal of the law empowering the
governor to appoint an attorney to
represent the state and officers and
agents thereof in all litigation In
which the state is concerned is asked
by Assemblyman Geo. H. Hood of Bar
aboo in a bill introduced yesterday.
The governor has never used the
power conferred in this statute to the
extent of hiring an attorney for any
length of time, as was the purpose OF
the original statute, passed in 1915,
but has employed attorneys for certain
cases at widely separated times.
The statute was framed for the pur-
pose of doing away with bills for such
individual cases and provided that the
attorney selected by the governor
might receive salary of not to ex~
coed $4,000 year.
In the three years elapsing since
passage of the law Governor Philip
has used the power given therein only
few times. Walter Drew and Charles
Bender were the latest to receive en-
ployment from that source. Mr.. Drew
took a pure food case and an insur-
ance case to the United States SUI
preme court and Mr.. Bender took a
case involving use of benzoate OF soda
in foods to the same tribunal short
time ago.

the wheel went out of the water, max

be applied.

automobiles, trucks, ETC., with holes
where shells passed through them.
Discarded clothing filled many rooms
and other things are found there.

BANK CASHIER
GETS SENTENCE
Former Official of Branch of Mid
dleton Receives Sentence for
Violating Banking Laws

w. H. Pierstorff, former cashier or
the Bank of Middleton, near Madison,
was sentenced yesterday to one year
imprisonment at Waupun by Judge
Stevens of the circuit court.
Pierstorff voluntarily changed his
plea to guilty to nine counts charging
him with false reports, false entries,
false publications and perjury which
involved thousands of dollars, SIX
counts charging him with embezzle-
ment and converting to his own use
$12,S00 were dismissed.
The Bank of Middleton has been
fully reimbursed for the losses. When
the affair was first brought to light,
Pierstorff paid about $4,000 to clear
up the shortage and last week the en-
tire deficit with an additional $l,50O
was paid.
In pronouncing the sentence Judge
Stevens said: II feel justified in pro-
nouncing such light sentence since
the Bank of Middleton has been fully
recompensed and because the defend
ant has come voluntarily before the
court an pleaded guilty to the charges
held against him."
