 Fresldent Grant, and who is in this
 country on military mission for the kolchak government Of Pnssi,
 sad today concerning the ronor+s that kolchak had given up tbn co,,S mand: 1p '''e een- neither CT not Kolchak has been forced to resign active conlmanG af !,1 tne all=Russlan armies because of illness, the military situation is no+ serlously altered thereby TboTe are other men in the Russian ar,,i,, who will carry on the finht;n% '.'5 .,s long as there is a fcot Of gro,,nd left. There is vast territorv bn' tween the Russian front ond the D.. clfIc Ocean and even if lrkntsk hoe fallen into the hands of thr pol9 sheviki, which l myselI find bard to believe, the all-Russian army y,;l1 carry on.

 The holchaF: armies have the men and they have many and excc1le,'+ officers. What they need is sl,n. plies They have nc shoes dn clothes. very little ammunition and very little food. T. the Allies wish to stop the spread eff Bolshevisn, throughout the world, they must come to the rescue of Kolchak and Denlklne Semenoff is a Cossack 1. He IS an honest and strong man. do not believe that he is playing in to the hands of the Japanese as peo- pie ln Amerlca are inclined to be- !. lieve. He is a Russian and na- tnot. His methods are ruthless. but his purpose is to fight the Bolshev- . 1ki and save the world from their clutches.
 "The Kolcbak armies are fighting ] on the defenslve. Until they are giv- en supplies by the Allies, they will not be able to take the offensive. Their great contribution to the peace of the world at present is that they are preventing the spread of Rolshevism into the Orient. "The Rolsheviki in Russia have failed They know that they have failed. It is only a matter of time before the peasants. who are disil- lusoned and bitter, uprise once s more and annhilate the Bolshevik government, When that happens what will the leaders of Bolshevisn do? Russia is already footed and impoverished. There is little more to gain by holdin~ the power in R,1e- sla. Their obvious aim is to find < new worlds to conquer. There is great opportunity for them among the ignorant masses of China and India. Once the leaders and the 5 propaganda of the Bolshevik have entered the swarming lands of the Orient. there is no estimating the s suffering and horror that will lde- scend upon the world Nothing stands between the Western nations and such a catastrophe eXvept the thin, wavering line of the Kolchak forces.
 There are Chinese in the Bol- shevik armies. These men were paid 10000 rnbles apiece in paper . money for taking Omsk The city presented a picture of desolation and horror unmatched in the entire War, after it had been footed by the Chinese mercenares. These men s are anXi us to return to their own homes and they have been taught to believe that the onlv thing which { prevents their returning is the Kol- chak armies. Once they break through they will return to China to spread Bolshevik doctrines from one end of the Orient to the other If Bolshevism can be kept isolated 1. in Russia, it will wear itself out by its own eXcesses. Bolshevism is like sickness proving upon the weak and ignorant. Rv cutting off the territory occupied by the Bol sheviki by means of military force the disease will wear itself out, Governments are slow moving, but there is one thing which can be done bv the people of America inn
 m fSn{ al, I Al. I.1o H., 1 my there is another pitiful army of refugees. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled out of BolsheviE the protection and care of Kolchak and the military authorities, and Kolchak has neither the supplies properly. They art scattered all the way across Siberia tn the line of the railroad.
 "They are living in box cars--25 and 30 women and children in one car. They have nothing between them and the weather which is at 45 degrees below zero, except the thin board walls of the car. Their only heat is from small stoves in these cars, which they keep supplied by pulling down old snow sheds and catherine fagots. This fuel makes hot fire for few minutes but soon burns out They have insutfl- cient clothes to protect them against the weather and no shoes or medical supplies I helped to carry out IS corpses from one car and to bury them Only those in the prime ot life are living today The old peo- pie and the young children have til died
 "Thev can not survive the hard ships, and these peonle are the ed ncated classes of Russia. Among them are the professional classes. the tradespeople, clerks and skilled workmen. The villages can nit care for them. Little towns built tor a few people are already overcrowded and the peasants have all they can do to feed and warm themselves and the people in their homes. If Amer ica will but help to care for this armv of refugees. a terrible respon- sibilitv will have been lifted rom the shoulders of the Russian armies md thousands of valuable lives VIII be saved for the future.
 "The American Central Commi,tee for Russian Relief has undertaken the work of rescuing this pit'tr. remrant of a once great nation' II
