It appears as tho Wrangel is going the way of previous leaders of the anti-bolshevist forces in Russia. Like Kolchak, Denikine, Yudenitch and oth- CTS, he has failed to rally any con siderable number of the people to his cause. The Russian peasant is war weary, disheartened, without hope. He desires nothing so much as peace and an opportunity to till small bit of ground. But he isn't willing to fight for it. In his despair, according to recent observers in Russia, the peas ant has reached point where nothing matters.
 France Tried to Aid.
 Wrangel started his drive to oust the bolsheviki under circumstances that did not seem auspicous- He had to build from the wreck of Denikine's armies and it was difficult work. But when the Poles won their decisive victory over the reds at the gates of Warsaw, the southern leader took ad- vantage of the opportunity to press forward. At the same time, the French government encouraged Wran- gel greatly<by according recognition. The French also sent a number of of- ficers to advise Wrangel and assist in the tactical organization of his army, together with as much war material as could be spared and conveniently transported.
 The Kuban and Don Cossacks joined Wrangel and he began an advance from the Crimea that promised much. The reds, however, instituted peace negotiations with the Poles and turn ed their attention to the menace in advance caple to a halt and he had difficulty in holding his own. Lately, Trotzky, the red war minister, has been helping to build up the bolshe- vist army and his efforts apparently have been successful.
 Mystery in Soviet Power.
 The strength of the soviet military army has been one of the mysteries unsolved by foreign governments. True it is that everything is sacrificed to keep up the armies. The civil pop ulation goes unfed when the soldiers need food. The pay of the troops is sufficient to attract recruits from other pursuits and the promise of loot is also a lure. But, if the reports of the disintegraton of Russian indus try are true, it is hard to explain the apparent ease with which the soviets keep it's armies armed and equipped, unless they are drawng on Germany or other nearby countries.
 Wrangel may be able to rally and make a stand within Crimea, but his effort to restore constitutional govern ment in the former empire of the czars faces hat almost insurmountable ob- stacle--the hopelessness of the mass es.

BRITISH COAL STRIKE
 WEARS A SETTLEMENT
Report Leaders of Miners Have Ac-
 cepted Government Terms.

London. Oct. 27.--~A member of the miners executive body informed the conference of trades union delegates here today that there was every pros pect of terms of settlement of te coal strike being reached tonight.
 It is reported the miners leaders have accepted the governments $ terms and will submit them to a conference of the miners delegates. The mine owners also are said to have agreed to the governments proposals.
 A report was current in parlia- mentary circles that Premier Lloyd George would announce settlement of the coal strike to the House of Com mons late this afternoon.
 Is a Compromise.
 According to information 0arhapAa yesterday, miners will receive the fn- crease in wages they demand as from Octoberl until the end of December by which time it is expected a ationai wage board, which is to be established. VIII nave devised a permanent plan me price Of eosi, under the reported settlement plan, is not to be in- creased to domestic consumers but the increase wages are to be met by the revenue from the export trade, and. according to some reports, the wage scale IS to rise and fall according to the revenue from that trade. Intri- cate calculations are said to be in volved in the arrangement, which is pointed to as partly answered to the prolonged discussions.
 Remove Embargo.
 London, Oct 27,-American ship. ping authorities said this morning they expected that the embargo inn posed with the inception of the coal strike would be removed today be- cause oI improvement in the situation. tThis apparently refers to the Brit ish government order issued on Oc- tober 15, in connection with the em- bargo on the export of coal. prohibit ing foreign ships from taking on bunker coal in English porfs.l
