Gains Headway.
GOMPERS SCORES BOLSHEVISM
Germany Objects to Extradition of Ac
cused Officers and Soldiers Jugo
slavs Reject Adriatic Compromise
Edwin T. Meredith Appointed
Secretary of Agriculture.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Itussla including Siberia for the
Hussions, to do with as they please
and govern as they please, Is the slo
gan that seems likely to win In tho
vast realm that the czars once ruled.
And though Just now the bolshevikl
are the controlling faction In nlniost
all of European Hussln, and In much
or Siberia, they are discarding much
or their "bolshevlkhiess" and other
factions are coming around to the he
ller that, if they cease fighting, the
most radical leaders will speedily lose
their power and the country will set
tle down under a liberal government
and will be able to make peace with
the rest or the world. In southern
Europe the Don Cossacks are still
holding out, though with waning
chances of success. In Siberia, when
the Czech forces have departed, the
liberal Husslans will find themselves
opposed only by the reactionaries who
bave the support of Japan.' The latest
cables from Vladivostok tell of an
abortive revolution there by soldiers
who fenred they were to be disarmed
by the Japanese troops, and therefore
started an uprising against the lib
erals who had planned to take over
the government peacefully. The reb
els were taken prisoner by General
Hozanoff's student officers, after
which Hozanoff proclaimed nmnesty
for all political prisoners and let tho
peasant prisoners go home with their
arms. The Siberians, It Is snld, be
lieve that their country will Join hands
with the Moscow soviet government
as soon as tine Japanese have left, and
that bolshovlsin will then rapidly dis
appear. How soon tho Japanese troops
will depart Is not known. The Ameri
can evacuation Is already under way.
Delayed dispatches from South itus
sla say the Cossack federation which
met In Ekntorlnodnr decided that they
would continue to light the bolshevikl
unless their Independence wore, rec
ognized. They wanted Donlkln (o
remain as their commander In chler
with the understanding that he should
have no voice in civil affairs. Tills
proposition he probably rejected, as
later dispatches said he and his staff
had taken refuge on a Hrltlsh vessel
at Constantinople. Meanwhile the bol
shevikl moving westward from the
Caspian were threatening the Cossacks
in the flank and rear.
Admiral Kolchak, It develops, sur
rendered to the Siberian revolution
ists on the advice of General Jaiilii,
the Czech commander. In order to
avert a fight In which the Czechs
might have been annihilated. Kol
chak Is to be tried by court-niarllal.
Russian officers under Semenofrs com
mand are so enraged against the
Czechs thnt they have formed a league
whose slogan is "Have Janln's blood."
In England organized labor contin
ues to urge complete and Immediate
peace with soviet Itussla, at the same
time disclaiming any belief In the
soundness of the political and social
theories on which the soviet govern
inent Is bnsed.
Realizing how bolshevlst propa
ganda In America Is Imperiling the
American Federation of Labor. Its
president, Samuel Gompers, has mno
out wiih an article In which he con
demns bolshovlsin "completely, tlnailv
and for all time." He thinks Unit the
propaganda which einnuates from
those who say they are quite free from
Russian luiluences and Russian pay
is especially dangerous, anil he decries
"" ' .".'X. : ':
in the pnrt of Schleswlg-Ilolsteln which
their arguments that we should not
pass Judgment on bolshovlsin until we
know more about It and see more of
Its results. Mr. Gompers addressed
himself particularly to trades union
ists, and he tells them flint the bol
slievists linve split up the reserve
funds of trade unions, throttled the
labor press, killed labor organizations,
split up trade unions as a class and
put down strikes by force of arms and
by executions. The constitution of
soviet Russia, he adds, provides for
and enforces compulsory labor. It
may be tills pronouncement by the
great labor leader will have a bene
ficial effect on those union labor men
or this country who have been submit
ting too much to the leadership of dis
loyal radicals ; but there are signs thnt
Mr. Gompers' Influence Is declining
somewhnt.
Although the Gennan government,
ns such, Is ostensibly doing all It can
to carry out the terms of the treaty,
ninny of the Individual members of It
nre openly in sympathy with the gen
eral sentiment throughout the country
against the surrender of ofllcers and
others for trial by the allies on
charges growing out of their misdeeds
during the war. Great mass meetings
to protest against such action nre be
ing held in Berlin, nnd while the gov
ernment does not officially countenance
them, It does not prevent them and
various high officials have declared
that they will not take part In the sur-
rentler of the accused. The Ebert
government hns sent u note to the
allies urging them to abandon their
demands In this matter on the ground
that execution of article 22S of the
treaty would certainly cause political
and economic troubles In Germany
thnt would seriously hamper pro
duction. It suggests that the trials
of the accused persons be held In
Germany with the participation of al
lied representatives.
What will be done In the matter of
Holland's refusal to extradite the for
mer kaiser Is not settled. The Juristic
experts at the supreme council took
up the study of the case anew and it
Is believed the council dispatched an
other note to the Dutch last week.
Probably connected with the agita
tion against the extradition of ofll
cers nnd soldiers was the attempt on
the life or Mnthlas Erzhcrger, German
minister of finance, who signed the
armistice terms. He was seriously
wounded by a student. The incident
was succeeded by rumors of a coming
monarchist uprising and Minister of
Defense Noske tilled the strategic po
sitions In Berlin with troops. The re
volt failed to materialize.
Tho troublesome Adriatic problem Is
not yet solved. In response to the
ultimatum of the supremo council, the
Jugo-Slav government sent u note re
jecting the compromise that had been
ottered by Italy and agreed to by the
other great powers. The reply from
Belgrade was couched In conciliatory
terms, however, and left the way open
for further discussion. The suggested
solution was based on the pact of
London, and the Jugo-Slavs say that
as tills treaty was secret they cannot
consider n solution based on a pact
which they have never had an oppor
tunity to examine and discuss. They
suggest a new basis of compromise
along the lines of President Wilson's
proposals. Indeed, all through this
quarrel the Jugo-Slavs have Justified
their stand by thnt taken by Mr. Wil
son, and they still seem to think thnt
our president can enforce his views
on Great Britain, Franco and Italy,
though Just how this can be done It
Is not easy to see.
So far Hungary has declined to sign
the peace terms submitted by the al
lies. She says she cannot fultlll the
demands made, and cannot ngree to
the loss of territory. Premier Huszar,
addressing a meeting of women Wed
nesday, declared thnt Hungary would
be a monarchy, without doubt, and
that the new king would be chosen Im
mediately after tho national assem
bly convenes. In the recent elections
the national Christian party was over
whelmingly successful, tho socialists
declining to oto.
President Wilson. In u letter writ
ten to Secretary Glass, bus nmdo nn
appeal to congress to posts the bill
Germanv must return 'in r,.n.n.,..i,
granting credits of $1f0,000,000 for
Poland, Austria and Armenia to alle
viate conditions In those countries.
He says: "It is unthinkable to me
that we should withhold from those
people, who nre In such mental and
physical distress, the nssistnnce which
can be rendered by making nvailable
on credit a small proportion of our
exportable surplus of food which
would alleviate the sltimtlon."
Prospects of agreement in the sen.
ate on the peace treaty dwindled stilt
further last week. The blpnrtlsan com
mittee, unofllclul, wns looked to by the
more hopeful for a solution of the
tangle, but the chances were not good.
Article ten and the Monroe doctrine
clause were the sticking points. Sen.
utor Hitchcock, peeved by the contin
ued delay, threatened to take the
whole matter before the senate In open
session, but later snld he would not
do that until all hope of settlement
by private negotiation bad failed. Oth
er senators said nothing would b
gained by throwing the treaty back
Into the senate In the near future.
The president has "promoted" Sec
retary of Agriculture Houston to suc
ceed Mr. Glass as secretary of the
treasury, and has appointed Edwin T
Meredith of Iowa to the place Mr.
Houston will vacate. The changes will
tnke effect as soon as Mr. Glass Is
sworn In ns senator. The new see
rotary of agriculture Is both a practl
cal farmer and a business man. He ii
the editor of Successful Farming nnd
before establishing that paper was
publisher of the Farmers' Tribune. He
is president of the Associated Adver
Using Clubs of the World, a dlrocloi
of the Chicago Federal Reserve bank
and was one of the excess profits ad
vlsers of the treasury department ap
pointed In 1917. He hns said that one
of his first undertakings as bend of the
department of agriculture will be to
try to work out some method of get
ting crops to market "without too
much lost motion." There has been
evidence that Mr. Houston was not
very popular with the fanners, and
the change Is counted on by the lead
ers of the Democratic party to restore
good relations between the farmers
and the administration.
It was said In Washington that Sec
retary of the Interior Lane desires
to retire from the cabinet In the near
future. There has been no suggestion
as to his successor.
Three favorite sons dripped out of
the race ror the Republican presiden
tial nomination last week. They were
Governors Goodrich or Indiana, Sproul
of Pennsylvania and Coolldge or Mas
sachusetts. The managers or the
Wood, Lowden ihkI Johnson booms re
newed their activity in tho chase for
delegates. The boom for Hoover,
though still restricted, gave Indica
tions of early expansion. In that con
nection a statement by Secretary Dan
iels to a graduating class in Philadel
phia Is Interesting. Said he:
"I can tell you who the next presi
dent is going to be. Do you want me
to tell you who he is? I don't know
whether he belongs tt my party or
yours. If he has one drop of reaction
ary blood he will not have a chance of
election. No old-fashioned politician
will do. He must be progressive and
meet the new conditions."
When reporters asked Secretary
Daniels whom lie meant, he smiled.
Asked If the name of the, man he had
In mind has been included among those
suggested as presidential candidates,
Mr. Daniels replied: "We will not dis
cuss thnt."
The MMinto committee on military
affairs voted, 10 to ii, to retain univer
sal military training In the army re
organization bill, and the measure was
formally reported ft) the senate by
Chairman Wadsworth. The bill was
changed by the committee so that It
provides for two training periods each
year, and a youth eligible to training
Is permitted to select any one of the
six periods Immediately following his
eighteenth birthday. Republican Lead
er Moiidell In the house attacked uni
versal military training, declaring It
would cost the government u billion
dollars the first year and $700,000,000
a year thereafter. Senator Wadsworth
In reporting his bill showed that Mon
dell's estimates of tho cent were great
ly evuggerateil.

CARRIED U. S. CREDENTIALS
Several Arrests Made One Woman
Caught In Net German and
Swiss Subject Captured.
London. -Bolshevist agents cut rubied
with messages regarding sensational
widespread red plans have been fur
considerable time traveling ' between
Rt rlln and soviet Russia on false crc
deonnN, li is stated In ofllclnl quarter.
The . reiieniinls they carry are said to
hme described them as delegates- of
the Aiui'ii an Red Cross mission in
Berlin to conduct Investigations regard
ing the exchange of German prisoners
from Russia. Those couriers, It ap
pears, were carrying dispatches be
tween Moscow and bolshevlst organi.a
tlons In other countries including the
German Spnrtaclsts and the S i.-s
communists. Lithuanian authorities
discovered the illicit traveling after
Lithuania's borders hud been crossed
many times, nnd u number of arrests
followed."
Not all the couriers were pnnhlcil
with American papers, but such forged
credentials were found on several of
the prisoners.
Two men who carried Red Cross
passes admitted they had nothing to
do with the American mission, but In
reality, were working for the commun
ists. One woman, similarly equipped,
who worked from Dvinsk, said she had
been instructed to deliver documents
to persons she did not know personally.
Most Interesting of the captures were
two men en route to Moscow by waj
of Berlin. They curried letters con
cealed In their neckties. One of them
was a German, u member of the inde
pendent socialist party of Germany,
and the other was a Swiss belonging
to an extremists' organization called
the socialist-democratic organization
of young people of Switzerland.
Jumps From Airplane.
Omaha, Neb. The first parachute,
drop from an airplane ever made In
this part of the country, was accom
plished by Art Bluto, 28, of Council
Bluffs, at the Ashmusen airdrome

Bluto, who hns been a professional bal
loonist for eight yenrs, made tho dar
ing leap from a height of 2,.r0O feet.

Washington, D. C. In voting to rec

bers, went counter to the majority

Indication that this disagreement on
