IN
HANDS OF REDS
Curtain Down on Last Act of
Far East Revolution:
WHITE GUARDS RETIRING
U. 9. Consul's Demand-Asks Red
Leader To Guarantee Per-
sonal Safety OF
Americans.

Vladivostok-The curtain has been
rung 6own on the last scene of the
Russian revolution. Those who de-
Tended this last outpost Of opposition
to the Soviets are departing. A few
hundred persons have been killed, and
the people are sitting back waiting for
their new rulers, the Soviet leaders
of the Far Eastern Republic, or Chita
Government, as it is called, to arrive.
The White Guards of the Vladi-
vostok Government fought desperately
from October 8, the day they came in
contact with the Soviet forces at
Spassk, until nearly two weeks later
the Reds utterly defeated them and
forced them to cross the yanchurian
frontier.
The men who bore the brunt Of the
! fighting were soldiers who had re
treated from the Volga river to this
last stronghold of the White Guards
Vladivostok sent General Diederichs
only 176 men in reply to his call for
reinforcements, which led the dictator
to declare:
Where are the sacrifices which were
to be made for brethren who for two
years have borne the cross which was
laid on Russia for the sins of all?"

u. S. ConsuI's Demand.

Moscow.-General Uborevitch, of the
Far Eastern Republics revolutionary
army, has begun negotiations with the
Japanese commander and the Vladi-
vostok consular representatives for the
surrender of Vladivostok, according to
advices received by the Soviet Govern
ment from Chita.
The dispatches say the American
consul handed General Uborevitch a
note requesting him to guarantee the
personal safety Of American citizens.
Similar requests were made on behalf
of the British and Japanese consulates
and the safety of foreigners and OF
property was assured by General
Uborevitch on condition that the Red
Army be allowed to enter Vladivostok
Immediately.
! The dispatches assert that disorders
broke out in various parts of Vladiv0
stok in connection with the Japanese
retreat, and the American Consulate
sent word later to General Uborevitch
that the Americans were impatiently
awaiting the Far Eastern troops to re-
store order.

'If we have learned anything from
the World War" he continued, 1--WE
must develop and perfect the indus

First, we must counteract indif-

which is somewhat prevalent that we

even better in another. A systematic
plan must be worked out to insure
economic preparedness"

why your white clothes some

use the right kind Of soap.
Soaps that do not dissolve COM
