Having crushed Baron Wrangel and
expelled him and his troops from the
Crimea, the Russian soviet govern
ment finds itself in good shape TO re-
sumo negotiations for the resumption
of trade with other nations. And its
chances for recognition also are vastly
improved. Most governments realized
some time ago that Russian Bolshev-
ism was not to be destroyed by armed
opposition, especially from the out
side; and nearly all except France be-
lieved that it would be useless to give
aid to the factions within Russia that
were In rebellion against Lenine and
Trotzky. Even the leaders of the
Menshivists and other wise opponents
of Bolshevism in Russia have long
maintained that position and asserted
that the best thing to do was to recog-
nize the Moscow government, or at
least let it alone, and that ultimately,
having nothing TO fight, Bolsheyism
must fall. 1t seems likely that this
view of the problem will now become
general

Certain German officials have told a
Berlin correspondent that Germany
would not now accept membership in
the league if it were offered; that she
now contemplates demanding new
peace conference, or at least an inter-
probation and revision of the existing
treaty favorable to her claims. Berlin
holds that definite sum for repara-
lions must be fixed. and feels that the
coal delivery demands are too severe
and are the sole cause for hnemploy-
ment and labor disturbances in Ger
many. The Germans also hope that
the Danzig corridor will be restored TO
them, and that they win be given some
colonial manufactures.

An interesting story from Munich
sets forth the imminence of new rev.
olution In Bavaria which is to make an
independent state Of that second larg-
est state of the German confederation
and the creation of regency, proba-
bly, TO be followed by the selection of
one of the Wittelsbach family as king.
1t is planned, also. that Bavaria shall
enter into an agreement with France
to guarantee her independence and OBJ
tain relief from her part of the Ger
man war burden. The story, which is
plausible. says the real ruler of Ba-
varia is Doctor Escherich. founder of
the Bavarian home militia, whose
armed strength Is about 100000; that
he is backed by the former German
staff officers and monarchists, chief of
whom is General Ludendorff, and that
Ludendorff probably would be chosen
regent. Escherieh has refused to dis
arm his militia, and 1t Is expected the
entente will soon threaten to occupy
the Ruhr basin In consequence. When
this is done, according TO the plot, the
workers, socialists and communists
will declare a general strike and 10 the
ensuing conflict the coup detat will
be accomplished.

final arrangements were made for turn
ing the armory over to the State Armory
Commission on October IL. the board hav-
ing at n previous meeting decided to in

ture that has been used in the lounge room
of the "Y." These pieces of furniture were
gifts to the "Y, mostly from Wilmington
merchants, when the association WAS

ed to make an inventory of the athletic

BACK TO OLD TIME.
Clocks will be Turned Back Next Sunday

by Eastern standard time, starting ut 2
o clock Sunday morning. The daylight
saving plah which has been in effect was
according to an ordinance passed by City
Council last spring.

hour, citizens may sleep one hour later

in the morning than they have heretofore
done, the majority will average no more
sleep per night than in the past. They
will go to bed one hour later than has
been their custom during the daylight
saving period.
