V " : . ; ' ' i ; : - 1 Arcliangel, April ,21 (By the Associated Press.)r-OppoItion by officials of the government of north RusstVto the plan, for feeding bol shevik , Russia as recently made public (in Paris, is based not only on unwillingness to provision ter ritory occupied by forces of a gov ernment the north Russians are i fighting,1 but because they believe the plan would not be efficacious in combating bolshvism. Iri the interview given the Asso ciated Press correspondent record ing his opposition to plan, Lieuten ant General Eugene Karlovitch Mill er, acting head of the Archangel government, expressed the view that those who helped bolshevik Russia in this wise would in effect be ally ing themselves with the bolsheviki. Others in official circles expresaed opposition to the acheme and on all hands there was approval of the statement of the Russian leaders in Paris that those claiming toward re generation of Russia should not for one moment cease fighting the bol- slieviki. N . . . Armistice Impossible. ? "General Miller characterized as "impossible and impracticable" the proposition that the anti-bolshevik Russians should cease fighting at any place in order to allow pro visions to reach their enemies. "The bolshevik government," con tinued the general, "is hard pressed from a military standpoint by the Siberian forces and it now is help less in the north. In the interior it faces hunger. It would doubtless welcome an armistice and would eagerly accept "help from outside Those who help it would, in effect, at least, simply being making an alliance with the bolsheviki." And this, the general said, at a time when victory for the opponents of bolshevism was near at hand. ,V Hold Front Line. General Miller stated that the pe riod of trial for the new Russian troops in the north was finished. He pointed out that the Russian force which was fighting on the northern front last autumn was small and its morale nothing to brag of, "but now," continued the general, "the number of the Russians in the north equals that of all the allies combined. Their morale is excel lent. On the actual fighting fronts most of the .work, now is being done by the Russians. They are more and more taking the first line posi tions, while the allies protect the rear." General Miller said the morale of the soldiers had improved while they-, were at the front because they were thrown in contact with peasants who had suffered from bolshevik depredations, so that whatever the troops had thought previously of the theories of bolshevism they soon learned to hate that doctrine in prac tice. Defeat Necessary. "It must be understood," General Miller said, "that this civil war is not only a war of principles, but a war against brigandage. All over Russia there are little groups of bol shevik brigands and anti-bolshevik peasants engaged in fighting and full of a hatred that can only be wiped out by extermination. "The fulfillment of the bolshevik pledges would result in the extermi nation of the bourgeois classes. The issue is so clear that there is but only one solution to it the com plete defeat of the bolshevik leaders, who, having guns, impose their will mi those who do not have them Shirt News for Men Shirt Satisfaction V At $2.00'.

BURKE. (Accredited Corrependent at th Peace Conference Jut Returned From Two Month Investigation of Conditions in Italy and Dalmatia.) , Upon the decision of thecouncil of four now vexed by the problem of the disposition of the Adriatic trading port of Fiume and the har bors of the Dalmatian shore depends the fate of the Italian crown. This seems a strong statement. But European politics are more in tense, than American and govern ments have fallen for less provoca tion. Since before the opening of the peace conference I have associated with Signors Orlando and Sonnino and I feel I know the predicament in which they are placed by Presi dent Wilson's opposition to the recogniztion of the secret treaty of London whereby Fiume and parts of Dalmatia were awarded to Italy on the condition that she enter the war on the side of the allies. Made Promises to People. The so-called military or national ist party now in power, promised this territorial gain to the people ot Italy, and if they fail to deliver they must go. '' Premier Orlando and baron son nino know this. So does every member of the House of Deputies. Count Di Frasso, one of Italy s inner circle of talented diplomats and a member of the deputies, de clared to me: , "The only, way out will be a with drawal from the peace conference and a separate treaty with Austria. That means we will be forced1 to cast our lot with the bolshevists and take our chances. No other course will be open." Educating His Son for President There is a saying in Rome that AN OLD RECIPE TO DARKEN HAIR Common garden Saga and Sulphur makes streaked, faded or gray hair dark and youthful at one. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natur al color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mix ture was to make it at home, wnicn is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur Compound." You will get a large bottle of this om-time recipe improved by the addition of lother ingredients, at very little cost. Evervbodv uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time ; by morning the gray hair dis appears, and after another applica tion or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you i look years younger.

After a tour of Fiume and sthe Dalmatian shore two conclusions stand out distinctively: First, there is no doubt, that the people . 6t Fiume want to become annexed to Italy. ; Second, just why Italy should wish to annex such a bone of contention as Dalmatia is des tined to be is unexplainable. The Istrian and Trieste situation is, of course, discounted. No one has suggested that Italy shall fail to receive the Itatyan peninsula as part of its reward for its valiant serv ice in the war--though quite a few of the inland towns are exclusively Jugo-Slavic in population and the whole peninsula as a mater of fact is claimed by the Jugo-Slavs. In Fiume, aside from the fact that the people are mostly Italian, there is a more important reason, and that is trade. Military Reason, Cause. But in Dalmatia, although its pretty seacoast cities were settled by the seafaring Venetians, the in- A SALE including Suits That Were, Until 6 P. M.

C ELDRECCE. President land towns are Slavic, the industries are slight, the trade is smaller, and the only reason why Italy should wish it as her own appears to be military. As a military proposition there is some dispute .as to whether it would be an asset or a liability. Italy has the Adriatic as a per petual national barrier against in vasion and with the wonderful naval base of Pola on the tip of Istria, she could dominate the sea without dispute. But with Dalmatia she would annex a land frontier which would have to be'defended. Commander Roncagli of the Ital ian royal navy, comes to the rescue saying: "Italy would have no difficulty that could not easily be overcome in the defense of her new territorial frontier, which is in itself a bul wark." . It i is true the bulwark is the Dinaric Alps which crowd close to the shore and which extend inland to the arid plain of, Bosnia and Herzegovina. "A natural obstacle of that kind cannot be gone through anywhere 115 Smartly Tailored SPECIAL: All tafEeta one pleases, especially by modern armies with their heavy artillery." he added. But no matter what decision may be made by the peace conference, no matter what 'flag waves over the governor's palaces.i or the city halls of the prosperous towns of Zara, Spalato and Sebenico, the Dalma tian coast is doomed to a precarious life. Adriatic in Their Path.' "It is - the frontier of European civilization which includes the Latins and the English speaking races, and thereby the people of the U. S. A. "Beyond Dalmatia live tumultuous nations just beginning to awaken from oppressions, lack of learning and a different civilization," said an eminent scholar from Florence. "These hordes of people are seeth ing for outlets. Constantinople and the Black sea may suffice for a while but the Adriatic is in their path." From a political and economic standpoint the Fiume problem is clear. It is more allied with that of Triest. H. Nelson Gay, an American authority on Italy and her politics, he having lived in Italy for 25 years, said: y "There are two routes from cen tral Europe to the east; one crosses the Balkin peninsula and leads to Salonica or else continues via Con stantinople and Bagdad to the Pers ian gulf. . The Berlin, to Bagdad Orient Express was the great scheme which Germany hoped to materialize. The other route is via the Adriatic; it is quick and con venient and while it does not admit of the rapid realization of vast plans, S THUR all jersey and combinations of taffeta and jersey petticoats, Thursday $4.95.

"It is absolutely necessary, there fore, that, some great power, should undertake to bar every outlet in this direction. Fiume is one or the most important of these outlets and there seems to'' be some danger of its be ing left open. To prevent this u should be given into the custody of Italy. Want to Be Italian. "As to the desires of the people of Fiume in a document signed by the president of the national coun cil, Dr. Grossich, M. P. the Syndic, Dr. Viojun, M. P., and the deputy, Andrea Cosinack, it is set forth that all these three bodies duly elected have declared their determination for annexation to Italy." As' a final warning that Jugo slavia is doomed to an unsettled state, it is called to .attention that the Croates are Catholics and that the Serbs are largely Greek Ortho dox, and that in that section of the world the religious feeling is more intense than in America. The people of Fiume and Dalma tia, I found cannot understand the American viewpoint as at present ex pressed. "How can you possibly want to give all these things to the Croates and Dalmatians, who fought us so bitterly in the trenches but a few months ago, when Italy stood by you at a time when it could have allied itself with the other side?" asked General Petitit "The Jugo-Slavs, except the Ser bians, were our enemies our mu- DAY rr : r tuai enemies. But now they get ter ritory and civil rights and credit and wnai not. Unwilling Fighters for Austria. It was suggested to the distin guished general that perhaps more could be won by sympathy and sup port than by antagonism, and that the Slavs claimed they were unwill ing members of the Austrian army. "They did not fight that way," he said. "They fought with bravery and firmness as though fighting for a national cause such as they fancied was the war against Italy and Ser bia. On the other hand, the Czechs and the Italians who were serving in the Austrian army deserted one by one, or even in groups, and con tinuously tried their best to harm the common oppressor,, either in the military organization or in any other political, economical or constitu tional business." In any event, the Dalmatian shore and the little trading town of Fiume bid fair to cause more political dis turbance than all the rest of the boundary problems together. It seems a far cry to the over throw of a throne which is reasona bly popular at present. But the far-seeing diplomats and military leaders of Italy mince no words. They see nothing but revolution, perhaps bloodshed, unless the pre vailing government can deliver what was promised the people when Italy entered the war as a com batant The Advertiser who uses The Bee Want Ad Column increases his business thereby and the persons who read them profit by the oppor tunities offered.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND THEIR HAIR Did it ever occur to you that every movie actress you have seen has lovely hair, while the most popular count their curls as their chief beauty? In fact, many are leading ladies just because of their attractive looks. Inquiry among them discloses the fact that they bring out all the natural beauty of their hair by careful shampooing, not with any soap or makeshift,, but with a simple mixture by put ting a teaspoonful of canthrox (which they get from the druggist) in a cup of hot water and apply ing this instead of soap. This full cup of shampoo liquid is enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. After its use, the hair dries rapidly with uniform color. Dand ruff, excess oil and dirt are dis solved and entirely disappear. The hair is so fluffy that it looks much heavier than it is, its luster and softness are delightful; Adv. SHOP M.
