The military commission of the al
lies sent to Berlin in connection with
the carrying out of the terms of the
armistice got mixed up in the ruction
and. seeking protection, persuaded
General Harries of the American army
to raise the American flag Over the
Hotel Adlon, where the members were
sheltered. A street mob threatened to
storm the building if the flag were not
lowered, and at the demand of the
Ebert government this was done. In
dignant patriots are assured by Off
Gals at Washington that if the press
reports are correct the Germans were
well within their rights and that Cen
eral Harries acted i~njudiciously. The
wal is not yet formally ended and the
allies have no more right to raise n
of their flags in an enemy city than
would the Germans to fly their colors
within the allied lines.

1t begins to look as if Russia is to be
left to her fate and to be called on to
work out her own salvation or relapse
into barbarism under the semblance of
rule of the b%Olsheviki. Japan has an
nounced that most Of her troops will
be withdrawn from Siberia, Great
Britain declares that she will send no
more men to Russian territory n
that those now there are being re-
called, and there is no reason to be-
lieve that the United States will in
crease her forces there. Indeed, some
of our senator's and congressman are
openly demanding that the Yanks be
brought back from Russia at once in
stead of being left to fight the bolshe-
vik armies in the SHOWS of the Arch
angel region and along the Siberian
railway.
Although they are still making con-
siderable progress in the Baltic prov
inces and have captured Riga, from
which the allied and German troops
withdrew, the bolsheviki have not been

Omsk government of loyal Russians
grows stronger and asks recognition
by the allied nations, with the right of
representation at the peace confer
ence. The Siberian and other factions
have joined with it, asking Admiral
kOlchak to accept their support for
the salvation of Russia. The bolshe-
vik government is having internal
troubles, and a story came from Co
penhagen to the effect that TrOtzky
had quarreled with Lenine and ordered
his arrest, declaring himself dictator.
Lenine, it is said; sought to effect a
coalition with the moderates.

The conflict between Germany and
Poland over the province of POsen
may be settled without further fight

opened negotiations for a peaceful un-

The Polish soldiers retreated to Lana
