The man, his personality, Ills tiiuiu'nu'vi tiro Rrutu nml his opportunity unite to r it ls; tlu (iiiuHtlon: Is lie the tiiiiu of the hour? Many names have come up out of this same Itusslnn welter since the IlomauofTs fell. And many of lliese names linvo passed. Kerenslty eame up ami parsed. Kolchtlk came up nml passed. Denlklne came up and patiseil. Now comes up WraiiKel. Will this nntl-Holshevll; leader In South Ilussla May or will he pass like these other foes of the lied menace? The long nnd losing struggle of the Russian ngnlnst the dictatorship of Lenlne and Trotsky neemed to have collapsed with the fall of Kolchak Jn the north nnd Denlklne In I he south. Then flashed forth Wi angel In the south nnd the strug gle wns renewed. Now the French government has recognized General Wrnugel as the head of the de facto government of southern Ilussla. America liaB given notice through the note of the secretary of state to the Itnllnn nmlmss-ador that It will not consent to recognize the Soviets as the government of Russia. And the United States has been mak ing Inquiry to settle for Itself what this General IVrnngel represents nnd what he purposes to do. Geneml Wrc.ngel leads what may be called Hip fifth great White Russian crusade against the Red Fovlct government of Moscow. The world was startled to rend that ho had emerged from his stronghold In the Crimen, coincident with tho demo lition of Red armies by the Poles, and had thrust Ins fresh forces eastward across the straits of Azov on to the bolshevik mainland of the North Oiucnsms and linil occupied the great Donetz coal basin, 850 miles to the north. Then General Wrnngel announced plnns for re organization of his forces Into two armies and one Independent corps. The tlrst nrmy will hold the northeastern front nnd will be commanded by Gen eral Gutepow, whose headquarters will be at Meli topol. The secoiid army will operate In the prov ince of Kuban iiiul will he led by the famous Mon golian general. Ulngala. The Independent corps was holding tho line of the Dnieper river. This reorganization Is the first step mnde In preparing for the co-operation of nil Cosnck forces. "Various Cossack expeditions we hnve sent to Yelsk and other points In Kuban nnd the Don ter ritory are nilvnnclng eastward, being heartily sup ported nnd Joined by local Cossacks," said General Wrangel. "Our tr.ivy Is now restored to u point where It can effectively support our troops In any jioxslblo sen action, and consequently, the time Is propitious for giving tho Don, Kuban, Astrekan nnd Terek Cossacks the organization needed for utiliz ing their unlimited resource against their op pressors. "The Cossacks hnvo men, foodstuffs nnd ani mals sufllclent for n long fight, and the spirit with which they have Joined the expeditions sent to help them Indicates they will soon hold nil Impor tant ports and railways to the Georgian border." General Wrnngel has announced his program to be the establishing of a new government for all of Russia founded upon democratic principles and ' Alenls. Ills statement to France Is as follows: ' "1. In the first place, In establishing n perma nent Russian government south Russia will give to all the Russian people the opportunity to choose the fonn of government desired by free vote "2. The south Russian government guarantees political end social equality and security to all Rus sian citizens regardless of their descent or religion. "3. The land will be turned over to those peo ple actually engaged In Its cultivation nnd all prop erty already turned over to the peasants during the revolution will he regarded as legally held and ti tles will be Issued to them. This reform nlready Is being carried out In territory now held by thu armed forces of south Russia. "4. Special protection will be afforded the In boring clnsM-s nnd their organizations. "5. The south Russian government will endenv or to unite the new governmental formations of Russia under a broad, dcmncrutlc federation based apon mutunl Interest, primarily of economic nature. "0. Economically the government will attempt to establish a constructive force In Russia founded upon the principle of private Initiative. "7. The government will assume all foreign obli gations contracted by the former Rucslnn govern ment. "8. All debts will Do paid, dependent upon tho fulfillment of a program of economic reconstruc tion." Who is this Gen. Haron Peter Wrangel who hat flashed so lirlllliinlly upon the world's eye?

COS6A&C- The until is that he Is a member nnd appar ently a worljiy member of u remarkable Interna tional family which truces Its origin to the nobility of the IJnltlc states In lUOO. There have been brunches In Sweden, Germany nnd Russia. Of the Swedish branch the most famoiw wns Admiral Carl Gustav Wrangel, who commanded the Swedish ar mies In the last campaign of the Thirty Years' War. Of the Gorman Wrangels the best known wns the old Field Mnishul Graf von Wrangel, whose military career was long and Illustrious. Among the Russian members of the family there Is that explorer who gave his name to Wrangel Island off the north coast of Eastern Siberia and who Is linked with America through his services as governor of Alaska. Gen. Raron Peter Wrangel, the subject of this sketch, began his career In the Russian nrmy in 1001, enlisting In the Norse Guards regiment as n private after having been educated us a mining engineer. He left the nrmy n year later, follow ing promotion to n lieutenancy, hut re-enllsted upon the outbreak of the Russo-.lupanese war, In which he wns twice promoted for bravery. Subsequently he was graduated from the General Stnff academy nnd nt the outbreak of the World war was a cup tn I u In comnmnd of n cavalry quadrou. For distinguished service with this commnnd ho wns decorated with the highest Russian military order the Crows of St. George. Promotion to tho rank of colonel followed; he wns appointed un ulde to the czjir and later became commuuder of the First Trnns-Ralkal Cossack regiment, with which, in .Inly, 1010, he captured an entire battalion. He was then made majoi general. As a division couimnnder and later as com mander of a cavalry corps he continued with tho nrmy until the disorders of the revolution had completely undermined Its morale. Then, with many other Russian ofllcers, be fled to the Cauca sus. He was arrested by the bnlshcvlkl and nar rowly escaped execution. The story Is told that ho escaped only through the heroic devotion of his wife, who followed him to prison and obtnlned his release after persistent nppeals. In the summer of 1018, with the growth of the volunteer nntl-HolshevIk nrmy, he got commnnd of n brigade under General Krdel. Ills chief fell ill, nnd Wrangel, succeeding to the commnnd, nttuined (he liberation of the whole of the north Caucasus nnd the Terek stnte. He wns promoted to tho rank of lieutenant general and given command of tiieCniunshm army. Then came his tost of strength with the com tnnnder In chief of tho volunteer nrmy, General Denlklne. Under Denlklne. Wrnngel commanded the right wing of the southern armies. He miido the brilliant capture of Tsarltsln on the Volga nnd later, when It wns too late, took command of the central armies, which had been beaten on the front nearest Moscow. When Denlklne gave up the struggle and departed, ho formally banded over command of the southern armies to Wrnngel As Denlklne had previously acknowledged the Kol rhuk government. 'Wrnngel stands us the succes sor of that government, which the United Unites desired at one time to leeognlro, hut whose weak ness prevented. General Wrnngel now hol.lf.

To the south of the Don Cossacks are the territories of the Ku ban Cossacks, who fought with Denlklne ngnlnst the Red in tales, but later (levelled their chief by tlie thousands when they felt ilnit their -' rlsticul rights weie being snerlfh ed b. Hun leadei Wrnn gel has for Its chief base Sebastopol, the great Rus sian fort, and he controls all of the Crimen with Its half dozen good harbors and rallwnys connecting them nnd running notth toward the heart of Rus sia. This position of the Wiaimel armies gives them great st length to hold off nn enemy or to launch nn nttnek. Their porta niu .., .... uninr." nlwnvs onen to trade. Sebastopol is only 200 miles (rom Constantinople. Tho allies huvo In tho near east large tnllltnry stores, ns Lloyd George nnnounced In Ids speech to tho house of commons. The sovlots, In their various proposals to restore relations with Great Rrltaln, have Insisted upon surrender of Wrangel s forces, thus admitting the correctness of the Riitlsh prime minister's characterization of Wrnngel's movements ns "formidable." Further more, the Communist central committee In Moscow telegraphed to ull Its branches on July 10 of thra year: "Ills (Wrnngel's) offensive has already causoM tho soviet republic great dllllcultles. Knch success or the general, even the most modest one, deprives Soviet Russia of great quantities of gmln, coal and oil, nnd spells n spread of starvation, destitution, lack of fuel and destruction of transport. Tho Communist party should understand that n liquida tion of General Wrnngel's undertaking u .ab solute necessity for Soviet Russia." As a fighting force the now nrmy will depend mainly on Hie Cossacks. It was Denlklno's failure to bold the allegiance of these warriors, coupled with endless dissension behind his lines among his politicians, that wrecked his hopes of overthrow ing the soviet. Wiungel's nrrnngement with the Cossncks al lows lor their complete Independence In their do mestic and civil affairs. According to an agree ment made on April 111 of this your the Hetmnn of the Don Cossacks recognizes Wrnngel as highest military chief In return for this autonomy and Wrnngel agrees to consult the Hetmnn on all ne gotiations with foreign powers on questions per tulnlng to Cossnck troops and territories. Thus Wrangel begins by avoiding the great mis. take of Denlklne. He seeks co-operation of all foes of the bolshevlkl, but not domlnutlon over them. "My slogan Is," he said, "with whomsoever you please! hut for Russia." He has before him the lesson of the shattering of Denlklne's hopes, tn whose campaigns he.plnycd a brilliant part. What the causes of that failure were, he himself bus put thus: "Summing them up, It may he snld that strategy was sacrificed to politics, and those politics were no good nt all. Instead of uniting nil the forces that made It their aim to combat bolsbevlsm and Instead of pursuing one Russian policy, without any party affiliations, there was u Volunteer army policy, n soit of private politics whose leaders saw In ali that did not bear the stamp of the Volunteer nrmy enemies of Russia. They fought the bolshe vlkl. nnd they fought the Ukrnlnlnns, Georgians nnd Azerbaijans. And It would not have taken much to have started war with the Cossacks, too, who composed half of our army nnd with their blood cemented the connection with tho regular troops on the battlefield." The territories of the Cossacks were engulfed In the cweep of tho Red nrmles toward the Cauca sus. They represent still, however, uccordlng to their spokesmnn In Paris, V. A. Kliarlamnv, n force of "several scores of thousands" of fighting men. As for the attitude of the Cossncks toward bol sbevlst title, M. Khurlnmov says: "The deiuoerncy of Europe should remember this: The Cossacks are unable to nccept tho so viet regime . they are organically Incapable of be COInlng Communists. The Cossacks nro In their overwhelming majority thrifty farmers. There I no such thing as u Cossnek proletariat In existence, The Cosst.ck Is by nature an individualist, holding very dear his personal liberty. Not In vain did the' revolution affect the Cossacks, They are uoliit' to defend ibeli fieedom, their rights nnd llhoitlo with nil 'I'olr iplcht.'' I. The King His Own Herald (vv 12-17). 1. The reason for (v. 12). Tho news of the Impiisomueiit of John the Itap list caused Jestis to forsake .tuden and go Into Galilee. The fate of Joint lie uccepted as foioshndowlng his own llecnuse of this, lu withdrew from the metropolis and went to (he re mote regions where his work would attract less attention. When the peo ple wilfully reject the truth and at tempt to do lolenoo to the messen ger, In should turn from Ihem unless specially directed otherwise. 2. To whom the proclamation ip made (vv. l.'i-lll). The people In Capernaum. This was done In fulfill ment of u prophecy In Isaiah 0:1, 2. These people did not enjoy such priv ileges ns those around Jerusalem. This was one of tho darkest and uiosl corrupt of the provinces, nnd now It Is getting the light first. This fore shadowed the present nge when the grace of God would reach out to the Gentiles. P.ut tills Is Just like tin Lord. He did not come to call thr righteous, but sinners to repentance. It should be our business, like the Muster, to go to the most benighted souls with the message of light anil life. :i. Ills message (v. 17). "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven Is at hand." This ,s the same kingdom which John the Rnptlst and the Old Testament prophets proclaimed. II moans the Messianic earth rule ol Jesus Christ. Tills Is not our mes sage, for ours Is the gospel of the graco of God through faith In the fin ished work of Christ. We should cull upon men to repent nnd believe the gospel of Christ's death for their sln nnd resurrection for Justification. The time Is coming w lien hernlds will aealn nnnounco the entiling of the kingdom, nnd the King himself will come forth from the heavens to establish his mediatorial kingdom. For tthls we pray when we Intelligently sny, "Thy kingdom come." II. The King Summons Servants tc His side (vv. 8:22). 1. Ills command of authority (v 10) He did not use arguments, but Issued the mandate. The King's voice Is nutocmtlc. To command Is the King's prerogative, not to argue or entrent. 2. Tho statloti of the servants called (vv. 18. 21). They were men of Jowly birth fishenntMi. God chooses the foolish things of this world to put to shame the mighty. Hint no flesh might boast before him (1 Cor. 1 :2(5). .'1. They were called to definite son Ice (v. 10). "I will make you fishers of men." Ho laid previously culled them to bo disciples (John 1::t0-l2). He now cnlleil them to service, this call. then, wns not tho gospel call to sinners, which Is nlwnys "Relievo on me," but the onll to service, of thoe who had already hooded the call to d'selploshlp. Tho qualities which made them good fishermen patience, bravery to face the storm and the filnfit. the perseverance which tol'ed nil night though no fish were caught, would make them good fishers of men. A. Their prompt obedience (vv. 20, 22). They gave up their business nnd homes, not even Inquiring whore their snlnry vvn to come from. They put their trust In him who catted, believ ing that he wns able to supply their needs. III. The King's Triumphal Progres (vv. 23-25)). Mo wont the whole rounds of Gnllloo teaching the Scriptures, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, nnd healing all manner of diseases. Ho did n threefold work : 1. Teaching tho Scriptures In the s.Mingogues (v. 2.1). Tho revolution of God needed, to bo explained. This Is whnt ho wns doing nt Nazareth (Luke 4:10-22). 2 Preaching tho clad tidings of tho kingdom (v. 2J1).
