convention arrangements, has been
overshadowed by these events, and the
Jetfersonians are milling around thu
hotel corridors doing nothing but
speculate on what Wilson and Bryan
are going to say.
What Will They Do?
VIII the president announce his can
didacy for q thind term. renounce all
ambition to succeed himself. or leave
the question up In the air. pending fu-
ture Developments?
VIII the president reiterate his de-
mand for the unqualified ratification
Of the peace treaty. with Its league OF
nations covenant, and force the issue
into the presidential campaign, pre-
sumably with himself as tho candidate
seeking vlndication on q platform OF
unconditional ratification, or will he
reservations by the democrats?
VIII Bryan pave the way for his
own candidacy for the democratic
nomination and come out for 4 oona-
promise oa treaty reservations, with .
view to immediate ratification and the
exclusion OF the issue from the cam
paign?
MIR. Bryan has prepared his address.
but reserves the right 10 depart there
from after hearing the communication
from the president.
All the leaders are expecting dis
play of political fireworks for the rea-
son that break between Wilson and
Bryan apparently has been developing
for some time on the question Of the
peace treaty. The president has been
unyieldins In demanding the accept
ance of the league of nations covenant
without essential notifications and
has been threatening to pocket the
treaty II modified to the extent Of the
Lodge reservations and to seek renorn-
ination on the issue OF the league.
Bryan For Acceptance.
Mr.. Bryan has been urging the
democrats to accept reservations. in
dicating that he would 30. far in yield
Ing to the republicans who are stand
ing pat on the Lodge reservations. HIS
utterances have demonstrated that he
disapproves the attitude of the prest-
dent In standing out for the uncondi-
tional endorsement and that he does
not perceive any justification for the
president seeking third term.
Unless therefore either Mr.. Wilson
or Bryan yields ground to the other
they have reached the parting of the
ways, a parting which may develop a
split in the democratic party.

London, jan S.-The situation In
Russia Is about as bad as could be
from an anti -bolsheviki point Of view.
according to the British war office,
and there are few signs Of any TIM
provement. There are two especially
bad developments. In the first place
General Denikine's army has been cut
in two in the bolsheviki push to the
sea Of Azov and its flanks have been
thrust back. leaving large gap. In
addition there comes a claim from the
bolsheviki Of the capture of Krasno-
vodsk on the Caspian sea-
The capture of this important port
of krasnovodsk, 1t Is pointed out, Gre
ates the grave possibility Of establish
ment Of bolshevik rule In Persia. The
taking Of the port permits the reds"
to control a large part Of the Kras-
novodsk- Smervnerv railroad and
gives them free access to the Caspian.
There seems little then, to prevent
them from getting control Of the Cas-
plan. On this sea there remains only
a small British force and the poorly
organized Persian guards between the
occupation Of Teheran.
Baku. with its important oil sup
plies on the western Caspian. seems
likely to Tall into bolshevik hands, and
Its occupation would provide base
for further operations against Dsni-
kine's hard-pressed right wing.
II the bolshSvik reports are true
General Dsnikine has suffered 4 con-
siderable disaster. for not only have
the reds" severed ell communication
between his left and right wings, hut
they have captured large supplies Of
war material II. ~
