Proposed Federation win Be a
Practical Restoration of the
Kerensky Government.
U. S. TO GIVE SUPPORT
New Republic VIII Consist Of White
Ruthenia, the Entire Ukraine and
All Territory Now Held BY
General Wrangei.

Westinghouse new and powerful
federation by which White Ruthenia,
the entire Ukraine. all the Cossack ter.
ritory between the sea of Azov and the
volga, and oil the territory now held
by General Wrangel will be organized
into the United States OF Russia. will
shortly be announced, 1t was learned
officially. The territory thus EN-.
braced includes approximately three.
sevenths of European Russia.
The first president of the new repub.
lie. 1t is expected here, will be Gen.
aral Wrangel He will have approx.
mately 100000 troops. the most for.
midable army eve assembled to com
bat Lenin and Trotzky. General
Wpangel will also have the active co.
operation Of General Seminoff, now
In command OF a large force in Siberia.
U. S. Inspectors Sent.
SO intense ia the interest of the Uni
ted States In General Wrangel that 1t
sent Admiral Newton A. McCully and
Col. w. A. Castle to inspect his entire
front. They have just returned TO
Constantinople.
y The political result OF the proposed
new federation, II was explained in Of
fetal circles here, will be the practical
restoration OF the Kerensky govern
ment under a more popular name.
That government Is the only one the
United States has recognized since the
days OF the q
Soviet Government Near coIIap~e.
The United States and the Allies are
convinced that the psychological mo-
ment for the success of such a fedora
tion has 10 arrived. The Lenine and
Trotzky government Is believed to be
on the verge Of collapse.
Information received by this govern
ment indicated that the Russian army,
recently defeated by the Poles. is re-
fusing to fight against General Wran-
gel. The entire soviet forces are said
TO be rapidly disintegrating.
That all the great powers are active
ly supporting the proposed new gov
eminent Is made clear by the fact that
within the past few days the entire AL
lied diplomatic corps in Picking has
compelled China to restore Prince Ku-
dacheff. the Kerensky ambassador, to
full power as the official representative
of Russia. This significant move was
made after China had shorn Prince
Kudacheff OF all official recognition
and virtually ordered him and all the
other Kerensky officials u of the
country.
Baron Wrangel, II was pointed out,
is a conservative CT the conservatives.
He was ar officer in the cars army.
Later he supported Kerensky. When
Kolchak. an ardent monarchist. was
removed Wrangel succeeded him.
WranEeps only rival for chief execu-
tive OF the proposed new republic is
President Petlura of the Ukraine. He
represents peasant class. 1t is under
stood. however. that he is content to
remain in the class over which he now
presides.

New Years Day
in
Many Lands
n YEw YEARS DAY is time for

AYEW YEARS DAY is time fol-
~ thanksgiving and mirth and
happiness, and in some coun'
tries, for the interchange of gifts. II
Is also day which, because 1t is the
beginning Of another year In ones life
has associated with 1t certain sa-
credness which often takes the form
of resolutions to do more and better
things than one has ever done before.
1t is appropriate that the series of
IL months should open on the first day
of January, because this is the period
of the winter solstlce, the turning
point Of the year, the time when earth
begins to be revivlfied In anticipation
of the coming of spring. The anclents
understood this significance and, al.
though several changes in their calen-
dar took place before the present date
was made permanent. January 1st has
been, we are told, the generally ac-
cepted date since the reign Of the Ro-
man king Numa Pompllius. 872 b. C.
He decreed that the year should begin
rs II now does. and added two new
months t. the already existing ten.
The first month was named January
In honor Of the god Janus. who was
represented by the Romans as having
two faces this Simplifying that he was
acquainted with both past and future
events. On this first day It was the
Roman custom 10 offer to Janus sacrl-
fee upon twelve different affairs.
Among the offerings was cake of
gifted meal with incense and wine.
The people took every precaution to
conduct themselves so perfectly that
nothing but good might be presaged
for the coming year. Latin writer's of
the time say that all strlfes and diff
ferences ceased at the New Year. The
day was spent In visiting feastlng and
exchanging gifts. Indeed, the burden
Of giving had become so heavy that
during the reign Of Claudlus he felt
forced to limit 1t by decree.
In Belgium the children are espe.
cially active on New Years Their
greatest fun is obtained by secreting
all the keys belonging to the various
doors of the house. Then. they hide,
watching, lynx-eyed, from their van
tage ground for the chance to lock up
an unsuspecting parent or uncle or
aunt. When once caught they are not
freed until they promise certain for
felt of sweetmeats.
In France 1t Is. called "le Jour de
lan"-the day Of the year. Merry
making calls and gifts reign supreme.
Dancing. singing and wine also have
prominence. Candy, not usually al
lowed to French children, is generous.

Interest In Census Figures.
Washington, Especially Tho white

/ Washington, Especially Tho white
and negro population figures for the
state of North Carolina will be made
public early in January, according tc
Director OF the Census Sam Rogers.
Director Rogers said that these fig'
ures for the state would be ready ear
ly next month and that the same sta
tistics for the cities and towns would
follow shortly thereafter.
There Is considerable interest In
these figures in North Carolina the d.
rector said. Many inquiries he said
had been received from the state ask
ing when the white and colored popu-
lation figures would be given out but
he has been unable up to the present
time, to give any reasonably certain
time for making the figures public.
Under the management Of Director
Rogers the progress OF taking the CEN
sus of the United States is now slight
ly over sixty days in advance OF the
time allotted for the work. With the
Of employees employed in
the census 1t can be readily seen what
a saving to the government the North
Carolinian has made up to the pres
ent time.
Should the work continue with the
same speed that 1t has in the past 1t
is said that the Director OF the Gen.
SUI will save the government nearly
5000 900 in salaries Of employers by
the time the fiscal year has ended
next June.
