Sebastopol, June 1s.-The Allies cannot bring about readjustment of the world s affairs without the cooperation of Rus sia, but it is not from a bolshevik Rus sia that such cooperation can be se- cured, declared Gen. Baron Warngel, commander of the volunteer army in south Russia, which has been conduct- ing a successful offensive from the Cri- mea against the bolsheviki, in a talk with the correspondent here today.
 England is making mistake in treat ing with the bolshevki," said General Warngel at the outset. The bolsheSik power is maintained only by warfare, and any nation dealing with that power will soon find it's agreement broken. CivlI war in Russia is not struggle between parties, but a social war affecting the whole world. No country understands this better than the United States. If the Allies think that peace with the bol- shevik will restore order they are mis- taken Bolshevism is ..othing but an archy."

 Despite his apparent illness, President de la Huerta never hestated in reply ing to the incessant volley of questions asked. even though they touched upon every variety of problems of importance to the new government. He was hardly given time to partake of even a few sim pie dishes prescribed by his physicians
 Not once did he fail to reply al though he could not answer some of the questions definitely because, as he ex- plained, the governments policy had not yet clearly been decided The president preserved his good humor throughout many times catching the drift of ques- tions propounded in English and having reply ready before his interpreter fin ished.
 After an unusually severe cross-fire Of questions the president himself turne nterrogatory, asking newly arrived cor respondents who would be the democratic choice at San Francisco. These corrc- spondents, however, pleaded lack of pro- phetic powers, stating that all the "ad- vance dope might be upset, as it was at the republican convention"
 Mexican journalists were amazed at what they termed the third degree de- claring nothing similar had ever been witnessed in Mexican history.

FOUR CORNERS OF
 EUROPE SEETHING
 WITH NEW UNREST

(Continued from Page One) the activities of Mustapha Renal Pasha the Turkish nationalist leader.
 DEFENSIVE MEASURES It is learned that M. Venizelos con- tended that the ten Greek divisions all ready in the Thrace and smyrna dis tricts constitute the only force imme- diately available for effective opera tions against the Turks, but insisted that these operations shall be con- fined to pure defensive measures. It is recalled that the allies, in asking the Greeks to occupy Anatolia. exicted the promise that they do not operate be- yond the peace treaty boundaries.
 It is understood that M. Venizelos to- day met with allied refusal to assume any responsibility should the Greeks exceed this limitation, but the refusal was softened by the assurance that there was no intention on the part of Great Britain or France to advocate modification of the Turkish treaty
 SIX NATIONS
 Premier Venizelos will proceed with Premiers Lloyd George and Millerand to Boulogne, where the six-nation confer ence will begin tomorrow. At Boulogne it is expected that the decisions tenta- lively agreed upon here by France and Great Britain respecting the Germany indemnity and reparations as well as with respect to Turkey, will be suo- mitted.
 Some light may also be thrown on the Persian negotiations at London at the Boulogne conference. This is indicatNl by the fact that Edward F. Wise, who represents Great Britain in the eco- homie councils dealing with M. KrassiI, the bolshevik minister of trade and com merce, was present at the afternoon con- ference of the premiers, which was held at the Sasson villa.
 FOCH IN CONFERENCE
 In the morning Premier Venizelos had a conference with Field Marshal Sir Henry H. Wilson, chief of the British imperial staff, and Marshal Foch before confer ring with the premiers. The execution of the Turkish treaty was discussed, and it is believed that most of the pro- posals submitted by M Venizelos were approved.
 An official statement issued this aft ernoon failed to provide any foundation for the various reports that this confer ence had been called chiefly because of the acute Turkish situation. So far as the official communique dis- closed the discussion had to do entirely with Germany The statements say that the French government accepted the sug- gestion of Great Britain that the rate at which Germany was carrying out the clauses of the Versailles treaty relating to disarmament was profoundly unsatis factory.
 The two governments therefore agreed to recommend to the interallied confer Ience at Boulogne that their military ad- visers should be instructed to submit proposals aiming at acceleration of the execution of the clauses of the treaty dealing with German armaments, men and material.

 peace.'"
 Immediately upon the coming into force the treaty of peace with Germany, the Japanese government, in accordance with it's past repeated declarations and pledges, proposed to the Chinese gov ernment that negotiations be opened with a view to restoration of rights and inter ests in Shantung peninsula under the un- derstanding reached in Paris, and that they also enter negotiations over mat ters in connection with the restoration of territory formerly leased to Germany.
 "'The Japanese government had hoped the Chinese government would responu readily to the proposal not to hesitate to open the way for the Japanese govern ment to demonstrate by concrete actions it's policy of fairness and justice toward China.
 Contrary to expectation, however. the Chinese government, after a delay of several months, replied that it did not find 1t advisable to negotiate, giv- ing the reasons above stated. It is hardly necessary to point out there fore, where rests the responsibility for delaying the settlement of the Shan tung question. The imperial Japanese government, however, always consider ing the amity between Japan and China, re1terateS US declaratlon that it will accept proposal for negotia- tions at any time considered agreeable tc the Chinese government
 "1n connection with the railway guard along the Shantung railway, the Japanese government refers to its note of January, containing the statement of its intention to withdraw Japanese troops at once, even before the con- cIusion of negotiations, if the Chinese police force is made competent to take over the responsibility of guarding mu- tual interests.
 Reference is made to military equipment established in and around Kiao-Chow This constitutes addi- tional ground for negotiations. It is with the desire definitely to settle with China as to the disposition of this equipment that the Japenese gov ernment seeks to commence negotia- tions. If the Chinese government shall proceed to negotiate. it could hardly be emphasized that all minor questions will be solved simultaneously
 "In conclusion. while the Japanese government deeply regrets the en- forced delay in carrying out the agree ments reached at the Paris conference, it stands unchanged in it's sincere de- sire to promote a fair and just solu- tion of this question with the least possible delay and to pursue fixed rolicy toward China"
