 at Paris
By Asseeiatsd Presa

Paris, Friday, January A.-The govern ments of Siberia, the Caucasus and the Crimea have addressed to the Russian representatives gathered in Paris dec laration to be presented to the allied and associated governments. 1t is in the form of an appeal for help and justice.
 The decalaratiop recapitulates recent events in Russia and sets forth that the anti i-bolshevik forces are fighting for their country, for true liberty and for broad democracy based on the same prin- ciples and ideals for which the allies entered the present war.
 The bolsheviki, on the other hand, are declared to have repudiated their coun- try and established reign of terror with the obpect of extending it throughout the world. The bolshheviki, the declaration adds, are small minority which has sue ceeded in imposing a tyranncal system by violence.
 The governments in addressing the allies and associated governments say that they are equally against past and present autocracy and that they are only aiming to establish throughout Russia a modern progressive and enlightened form of government, granting to all racial sects cultural freedom on the broadest lines thus insuring the widest possible autonomy and the maintenance of the unity of the nation,

 This was accomplished by paying only a small portion of the earnings in diVl- dends to the stockholders, allowing the balance to remain in the business and also by keeping the company's products closely sold. We are therefore, able to go through the year without any re- financing
 Thirty per cent of the firms products were used in feeding the army and navy and allies.

 "This profit is very small, especially considering the fact that we are hand- ling a perishable product and is consl~- erably less than we have made in previous years Although we have opearted under the federal food license we have not made the profit which was considered fair and allowed under their rulings

ALLIES WILL HELP OMSK GOVERNMENT British and French Troops to Be Sent on Wild and
 Cold Journey
By Associated Press

Omsk, Friday, January 24-Smal contingents of French and British troops will be sent to the assistance o1 General Dutoff at Orenburg. negotia tions between the Omsk government and the allies having been successfully completed. General Dutoff has tele- graphed that he will hold Orenburg as long as possible. The trip of the allied soldiers to Orenburg will be somewhat perilous because to reach that place they must make sled journey of nearly 200 miles across the country swarming with wolves, which have multiplied be- cause huntsmen there are without am munition.
 Advices from Orenburg state that many of General Dutofrs men are with out rifles, but do terrible execution to bolshevist ranks by charging with sa bres.
 racks or ravenous wolves infest the district about Omsk, attacking and devouring cattle and even men are in danger outside of the city.
 It is reported that bolshevist forces rlan to recapture Perm, which was taken from them last month by Gen eral Gaida's Siberian and Czecho-Slovak troops. The only real arsenal in ths Ural region is at Perm, the former Russian government refusing to estab- fish arsenals in Siberia
 France and Great Britain have noti- fled Admiral Kolchak, head of the Omsk government, that they consider the accep- tance by Foreign Minister Ganonoff, for plans of unity for command and the settlement of the railroad question as signalizing closer ties between the forces fighting the bolshevists in Si- beria
 While here is no officil recognition accorded as yet it is apparent that the powers, including America, have a ten- dency to look on the Omsk regime as strong de facto government.
 number of high allied officers are understood to favor vigorous Japan csc intervention, believing that the future Of the regime depends upon military successes and the quick destruction of bolshevism. National socialists, on the other hand, have sent a memorial to Admiral Kolchak. pledging their adher- ence and expressing the belief that his government alone is capable of saving the country, nationally and information ally
 Newspapers urge American capitalists to invest in projects in Siberia, saying that closer economic ties with America are desired.
 Reports show that there is a heavy demand for American goods among the people here, delays in shipments leadiag to anxious inquiries. Cooperative as- sociations have been formed to handle and distribute shipments received The government wants to establish distribut- ing points at Omsk and Vladivostok
 There has been distinct improvement. in order recently. Up until last month hardly a morning passed without several bodies being found in the streets. AL though there have been no recent tra- gedes, however, pedestrians are usually armed and hardly ever go out alone at night.

The report made puoHc tonight by the navy department, showed also that the German officer commanding the U-53 when the Jones was torpedoed Capt. Von Schrader was aboard the boat when it was at Newport He there saw Lieut. Commander David Worth Bagley, a brother of the wife of Secretary Daniels who commanded the Jacob Jones. Won Schrader told the captured American of fcers that he had recognized Bagley in the dory of the sinking destroyer and sent out a wireless call for aid before leaving the scene. A note appended to the report, presumably by Vice Admiral Sims said such a call was picked up at Queenstown, but that it's origin had been a mystery.
 The U152, which after sinking the Ti- conderoga and taking Muller and Fulch- CT aboard, continued to American waters to raid shipping, encountered the U-53 or her way back to kiel after all German submarines had been recalled near the end of the war. Besides telling of the destruction of the Jacob Jones, Capt. Von Schrader said that six weeks earlier in the Bristol channel he had sunk an American escort ship, believed to have have been the former coast guard cut ter Tampa, which went down with all hands on board and had fired torpedo at the American scout cruiser Chester.
 The Tampa was sunk last September 8 and the navy department said there was no evidence that the U-53 was then in the vicinity
 The Chester was not hit.
