ACCUSES RYAN OF
STARTING REVOLT
Sen. France Names Red Gross
Commissioner as InstigatOr
of Uprisings.

RIGA, Aug. Prior TO his de-
parture for Berlin Monday night,
Sen. JOS. I. France Of Maryland per-
sonally accused DR.. Edward Ryan,
American Red Cross commissioner
in the Baltic states. Of having in
stigated the revolt at Kronstadt last
winter. Thereupon DR.. Ryan ex-
pressed his opinion of the senator's
credence in what, DIR. Ryan termed.
as Bolshevik reports and of the
senator's dealings with the Bolshe-
Wiki in general.
When questioned Tuesday con-
corning the incident, DR.. Ryan said:
The charge ia ridiculous. Tho
senator must have been raving."
American official representatives
here also said that the accusation
was absolutely without basis or fact.
The argument began in the senator's
room in hotel here and continued
during the trip 10 the railway sta
ton where Sen. France was to take
the train for Berlin. II was heard
in part by a number of persons who
accompanied the senator TO the sta
ton. Mr.. France is said 10 have de-
clared that he would renew this
charge on the floor of the United
States senate.
1t is understood that Sen. France
invited D.. Ryan to his room and
abruptly made his accusation and
added that the Bolshevik foreign
Office had promised 10 furnish him
proof OF the charge.
DR.. Ryan has been engaged IN
Red Cross and other relief work in
various parts Of Europe since early
in the war. His home is in Scran-
ton, Pa.
He fought the tyLhus in Siberia
ard also did notable relief work for
the Red Gross during the great fire
III Salonica.
In 1919 he was made executive
officer in relief work in Austria by
Herbert Hoover and in 1920 was
placed at the head OF the Red Cross
commission in Esthonia. After a
visit 20 Russia he reported that the
Bolshevik government was a social
adventure and had become a ghast-
" failure.
4 mutiny in Kronstadt began ear
" In February. 1921. when Soviet
sailors in the Baltic revolted and
seized the city, which was held for
about / days. when 1t was sIrren-
dered 10 the Soviet forces. All Of
the civilian leaders IN the revolt who
were captured were executed.

PERSHING ADVOCATES
REAL PREPAREDNESS

BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. I've
must not drift back into our pre-
war attitude of Cnpreparedness, ="
Gen. Pershing said Tuesday after
noon in an address to 1886 boys who
make up the Citizens Military
Training Camp at Camp Meade.
Through you young gentlemen, and
through the veterans of the war, we
hope 70 maintain a sentiment for
the complete preparedness in the
United States. There will be no war
tomorrow, nor next month, nor next
year, but no man knows when It may
come again.
The Reserves, to which you be-
long, were a Joke Just before the
war. Congressman "Gussie" Gard
ner, as we called him, used TO ridi-
Guile them and extended an invita-
ton to all OF them TO come 20 din
ner. Exactly seven men appeared.
And the relations between the ma
tional guard and the regular army
were not what they should have
been.
But today we are trying 10 bring
together the old units Of the ma
tional guard that did such glorious
fighting in the war and 20 rehatbili-
tate them. We are also trying TO
bring together the reserve divisions.
And the greater part OF the army
OF the future will be composed OF
young gentlemen like yourselves in
the reserve, then the national guard
and then the regular army OF 150,-
900 men. =
