FORCE BOLSHEVIK
TROOPS TO RETREAT

The Bolshevik are being beaten
disastrously by the forces of Gen.
Wrangel. according to advices to the
State department from its high
commissioner in the Crimea and
Southern Europe.
An official dispatch yesterday
stated that Gen. Wrangers anti
Bolshevik troops have defeated re-
Inducements sent to the aid of the
Red forces, taking approximately
5000 prisoners. Many of the Boil
shevik prisoners Joined the forces
of the victors. Gen. wrangers oper-

use OF aeroplanes. tanks and other
modern devices. The civil popula-
tion in the area under his control
is being well treated. it was stated.
Another dispatch to the depart
ment came from vladivostok. which
is under control OF the Japanese. 1t
stated that 113 delegates assembled
there Sunday and organized a Far
East Peoples Assembly. Presi-
dent Medvedieff of the local pro-

Allied Stand.

British seamen who have hitherto
vower never to have any relations
with German seamen on account OF
such Incidents as the submarine
warfare are likely to modify their
position. according to developments
at the International Seamen's Con-
ference In progress at Genoa.
According to cablegram from
Harold b. Butler, representing the
league Of nations, to Louis +. Post,
Assistant Secretary OF Labor, the,
international delegates, led by Britt
ish seamen, first voted to exclude
the German delegates. The incident
was satisfactorily settled, however.
when the German delegation, with
the consent of their government. is
sued a statement deploring the sub
marine tactics that had been resort
ed to during the war. The state
ment further affirmed the intention
of the German government to COM
pensate the victims of submarine
warfare, both ensmy and neutral.
The incident. according to the
message, having been declared sat
isfactorily adjusted following the is
suance of this statement, will doubt
less facilitate future relations with
German seamen and is expected to
lead In time to acceptance again Of
German seamen in the crews of
British ships.

Palmer insisted that he never
talked before breakfast. but he got
to thinking os the many mistakes
pulled in tho Republican conven-
tion, and said:
The Republican convention did
not produce a platform or a ticket
to meet with popular response from
the members of the party. Their
own people are not satisfied. The
progressive wing of the party is
in bad way to enter the campaign"
Then. as an after-thought he ad-
mitted that he was "oocky and con-
fident" when asked how he con-
sidered the chances for a Democratic
success at the polls. Mr.. Van Dyke.
secretary of the Pennsylvania State
committee, was more explicit in re-
gard to Mr.. Palmer's own chances.
He said that seventy-four out Of
seventy-six delegates from Penn

his own State, for Texas settled the
prohibition issue long before ma
tional prohibition came into force,
but must have been meant as a
foretaste of what might be expected
in the Democratic platform.
Believed Vote Magnet.
The Administration desire for a
liberal plank in the platform is be-
lieved here to spring from two
sources. First. political expediency
which has caused many Democratic
leaders to incline to the view that
since the Republican platform
omitted the prohibition issue a wet
plank will attract votes to the DEM
ocratic side. and. secondly, that as
William Jennings Bryan and his fol-
lowers must be fought on the league
issue 1t would be well to meet and
eradicate this faction Of the party
on the dual issue and eliminate them
entirely from future calculations as
force within the party.
The prohibitionists have shown
that they had a hint of what might
be expected at San Francisco by
their violent opposition to Gov. Ed
ward /. Edwards, of New Jersey.
and Gov. James NJ. Cox. of Ohio,
both of whom have been stamped
as unfit" by the Anti-Saloon
League.
President Wilson himself has
shown repeatedly that he personally
is not a believer in statutory pro-
hibition. From the time that he
first entered office he has held to
the position that prohibition was a
question best settled by local op-
! tion. He vetoed wartime prohibi-
tion and the Volstead enforcement
act, only to have Congress repass
them both over his veto, and il he

ington indicate that certain Sec
tions of the country already have

belief that the South would welcome
such a move and that in addition
the support of such doubtful States,

New York, New Jersey, Maryland,

administration forces believe that

RETIREMENT PLANS
IN PAYNE'S REPORT

been included in classified service.
The Attorney Generals letter to the
President states that it is his
opinion that provisions of the re-
tirement law confer upon the Presi-
dent the right to extend the act to
include charwomen, guards, watch
men and laborers.
Civil service employees who come
under the provisions of the retire
ment act but who are still capable
of discharging their present duties,
will be retained in many depart
ments, it is believed.
Navy Notifies %.
In the Department of Labor, the
youngest department. only ten are
eligible for retirement, four of
whom have already been dropped.
A request for retention of the re-
naming six has been filed with the
Civil Service Commission.
The Navy Department has noti-
fed twenty-five clerks of their i'm
pending retirement, while requests
for the retention OF two have been
filed with the commission.
Employees Want to stay.
Seven employees of the State De-
partment, eligible for retirement,
have asked to be retained, claiming
the annuity under the new act is
insufficient. Under the provisions
of the act the employees will be
given $50 a month pension.
Ben Davis, chief clerk of the
State Department, said yesterday
that all will be recommended to
the commission for two-year eX-
tensions. He claimed that all were
sufficiently capable to warrant their
retention for at least two years.
The employees ages range from 20
to rs, and in most cases their in
comes under the pension would be
inadequate.
The Washington herald., 1920-06-23
Reparation Impractical.

Take first the subject of German
reparation. No matter what the
rights" of the respective govern
ments, and particularly the French
government, may be, the well known
French thesis of how Germany shall
pay, is down, simply because il is
unavoidable at the present hour. In
Austria there is no longer any ques-
tion of politics or strategies. 1t is
merely a question of whether resi-
dents of Vienna will kill each other
next winter for food.
Take Turkey. A few of us tried
to signal from San Reno that the
treaty with Turkey( then being SOL
emnly and tremendously" decided
upon, would not work. At Boulogne
il has been more evident that no
extraneous power or group of pow
ers now has the means of putting
the forces in the field necessary to
pacify Turkey or obliterate her ma
tionally.
Therefore a solution of the Turk
ish question will have to be reached
by negotiations with the Turkish
Nationalists who today represent
the strongest force in the country.
Greece May Have 20 owe.
The Venizelos-Lloyd George pour
parliers on the subject only repre-
sented cleverness on both sides.
Lloyd George won the point of per-
mitting Greece to take on the job
of executing the treaty at the
Greeks own request, while Greece
now is in a position to demand vast
credits of munitions and supplies
for which she undoubtedly hopes to
pay. On the other hand, she may
not be able to carry her plans to
success, in which case she will be
far more likely to owe. Whether
Great Britain will then be willing
to rush to her defense remains a
mystery.
Finally consider Italy. Giolitti
returned to power, despite what the
entente press may say. is sure proof
that Italy is following her natural
course. French officialdom says that
this former friend of Germany made
his peace with Quai D'Orsay before
he attempted to sit in Nittfs stead.
This also is quite natural. Italy
officially belongs TO the entente, and
bides her time while her citizens.
especially those in Northern Italy,
where disorder reigns. talk openly
of the next war not being against
the central empires. All this is the
callous but mayhap unpopular truth.
