Many Believe
Soviet Regime
Is Nearing Endj
ConseiiMis of Opinion From
All Angles Is That Holshevik
Rule in Russia Is
Near Collapse.
,'hliira I rlliune-OinsIm tlar Ii-hshI Wire.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 5. Pre
dictions received from all annles i
a ! vices to the Slate department, in
dicate that the bolshevik leRi'mc ir.
Russia will collapse the coming win
ter, but some observers are quoted
as expressing the view that there will
not be a definite collapse, but that
holshcvism will "ooze out," and that
the Soviets' dissolution will be
gradual.
KusMan spokesmen here retuse to
venture any speculation lixmn an
upproximate date for the overthrow
of the soviet republic, but arc con
fident that its power is aiready
vaninir. that the economic, as well
as political difficulties confronting
it are insurmountable, ami that it is
not favored by the masses of pecu
lation, who, however, are intimidated
by the red armies and by the extra
ordinary tribunals and .thus pre
vented lroni rising aff.unst trie
tyranny.
The defeat of General Vranfiel is
admittedly a blow to the hopes of
the anti-bo!shevik Russians, who
had expected his small army to con
stitute a nucleus which would at
tract accessions from the peasants as
it slowly advanced northward, and
have by next spring, sufficient
strength and momentum to carry it
fa Moscow.
For economic, as well as political
reasons, it is said by Russians the
Moscow government will be obliged
to demobilize the greater part of its
forces after the conclusion of peace
with Poland, and demobilization con
tains dangers that the soviet leaders
have not heretofore experienced. It
is doubted whether red soldiers will
be content to return to civilian life
and conscripted into industrial labor.
A greater opportunity will be af
forded, it is declared, for ambitious
generals, leading large aggregations
of discontented soldiers, to start a
new resolution than at any other
time since the bolsheviks seized the
national power. There are many
former czarist officers in the bol
shevik armies, whose allegiance to
"" the soviet system always has been
questionable.

Conferences on
Education to Be
Held in Chicago
United States Commissioner
Calls Meeting for Novem
ber 29 Says Teacher
Problem Nearing Crisis.
Chicago Trlbune-Oinaha Dee leaned Wire.
Washington, D. G, Nov.-5. The
first 12 regional conferences on edu
cation' will be held in Chicago, No-!
vember 29, according to an an
nouncement of the bureau of educa
tion, at which the states represented
will be Illinois,- Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan and Wisconsin. 'The sec
ond will be for the states of Minne
sota, North Dakota, South Dakota
and Iowa, and the concluding con
ference of the New England states
will be held, probably in Boston, De
cember 18. ,
The teacher shortage presents a
problem amounting to a crisis, in
the view of Dr. P. P. Claxton,
United States commissioner of edu
cation, who has issued the call for
the conferences., ,
Unless salaries are raised and poli
cies changed, according to Dr. Clax
ton, "the teachers of the public
schools in the future will be madf
up of young men and women of very
mediocre ability serving in the
schools for snort terms, and those of
still less ability who will remain
longer because they have -not the
energy, personality or ability to un
dertake anything else. This means
deterioration and disintegration of
t!e public school system.
The conferences, dates and places
for which are now being arranged,
are the outcome of the. National
Citizens' Conference on Education
held here last May, and will be at
tended by the governors of the re
spective states or .their representa
tives, mayors of cities, members of
chambers of comemrce. Rotary
clubs, boards of trade, women's or
ganizations, patriotic and civic as
sociations, labor and farmers' unions,
ministers, lawyers, physicians, edi
tors, and business men as well as
educators.

with her husband from the capitol to
the White House; as to whether
there will be an inaugural ball, for

first inauguration, and the question
of which was not raised when he
was re-elected; whether there will
be restored the afternoon concerts
formerly held m the inaugdral ball

auguration, and last but least,
whether there will be again New
year receptions at the White House
and in general, a return to the social
customs and ftandards of tHc old
republican regime which rose to its
Neight during the Roosevelt admin

Taft.
