Baktnnetef Hopes
Revolt of Masses
Will Save Russia
Ambassador to Sail To-day
From Paris After Meet
ing With Leaders to Plan
Campaign Against Reds

PARIS, Feb. Ia (By The Associated
Press).- Boris Bakhmeteff, Russian
Ambassador to the United States, who
came to Paris to attend meeting of
the Russian constituent assembly COM
posed OF all the Russian elements op-
posed to Bolshevism, has completed his
work and will depart tomorrow for
Washington. He will take passage on
the Aquitania.
my purpose" said M. Bakhmeteff to-
day in discussing his visit to Paris,
was to come in contact with my com
patriots and learn the conditions in
Russia and to see if the conception in
America, upon which our policy is
based there, was correct.
Il have learned from persons coming
directly from Russia that the main
feature of the situation in Soviet Rus
sia is the growth of an internal move
ment of the people against the Bolshe-
wiki. I have been much impressed with
the reports concerning peasant move
ments. Considerable portions of the
Soviet regions seem to be in continu-
Gus revolt. Especially conspicuous up
risings are now in evidence in the
Ukraine, in the southeastern steppes
and the Vologda district.
"The labor masses of Russia, disil-
lusioned, seem to be an energetic fac
tor in the struggle against the Bolshe-
wiki The reports of all our agents
describe the collapse of industry and
production as practically universal
Many railroads have ceased services,
and all available material has been re-
moved in order to keep the other lines
going.
The proceedings and decisions of
the members of the constituent as
sembly coincide with the line Of
thought determining the policy of the
United States toward Russia. This
involves:
Refusal to recognize the Bolshevik
government.
Defense of Russian territorial in
tegrity, combined with a broad con-
ception of the future United States of
Russia, in which the aspirations of
nationality can be satisfied in the form
of dependent states of a federal
Russia.
"Opposition to any trade restrictions
in SO far as individuals are concerned.
but reputation of treaties with the
Soviet government.
Opposition to foreign intervention
and to any acts prejudicial to Russia
as q whole"

Clan Rivalry Seen in
Japanese Love Intrigue

TOXIC, Feb. ia. = Rivalry between
the ancient army clan of Choshu and
the navy clan of Satsuma, which popu-
larly are supposed to be weighty in the
councils of the empire, is said to be
partly behind the alleged movement to
annul the betrothal of Crown Prince
Hirohito to Princess Nagako.
The mother of Princess Nagako is q
sister of Prince Shimazu, head of the
Satsuma clan, while Field Marshal
Yamagata, who is regarded by the
police as the power behind the throne,
is the undisputed leader of the Choshu
faction.
More designations Of persons in the
imperial household are expected as an
outgrowth of the alleged intrigue" to
break off the engagement between the
Crown Prince and the princess, and the
date of the marriage is likely to be ad-
vanced. In the mean time preparations
are going on for the departure of the
Crown Prince for England

Senator Reed made it clear he was
not satisfied with the information thus

right to the full facts and see all the
documents. He held these ought to be

While the committee has adopted the
motion calling on the Secretary of the
