Spnrned Lenine's Appeal
to Avert Brest-Litovsk
Colonel Kaymond Robins, formerly
of the American Red Cross Mission in
Russia, told an audience of more than
1,600 persons at the Hotcl Commodore,
yesterday, that "any government set
up in Russia by foreign bayonets would
have to be maintained by foreign
bayonets." Colonel Robins was speak
ing at a ltincheon given by the League
of Free Xations Association. He gave
his experiettces in Russia, covering, in
ihe main, the testimony presented by
him recently before the Overman
propaganda investigating committee in
Wnshington.
Colpnel Robins's main plea was
that the soviet government was the
government the Russian people favored,
and that any attempt from outsidc
iu imposo any UPrm of government on
them would result in failure.
He scored the Allied policy in Rus?
sia as one of blindness and produced
documents which, he alleged, show that
l.enine and Trotsky were willing to ac
cept the economic and military aid of
'he Allies to prevent the signing of
the Brest-Litovsk peace. The Allies,
''oloncl Robins said, rejected the
Bolshevik offer.
Robins Presents Programme
Colonel Robins presented the follow
ing programme which, he said, would
stabilize Russia and bring her back
into the family of nations:
Lift cmbargo at once on all Russian
' I'ronts.
Enter into direct ncgotiatinns for
nn armistice on all fronts where Allied
or Czech forces are engaged.
Insist in armistice negotiations upon
general political amnesty to he de
clared and guaranteed by both sides,
Allied forces to be retained in Russia
solely to enforce such guaraniies and
to be used after aigning of armistice
in re-organizing and operating Rus
aian railways, primarily for transport
of food supplies throughout Russia.
Send relief through American Red
Cross to Pctrograd and Mosoow im
mediately upon signing of armistice.
Scnd commission of inquiry with in
dustrial and trade experts to Moscow
to ascertain and report on present sit
uation in Soviet Russia and best means
of bringing social peace, economic re
organization and relief to all the peo?
ple of Russia.
Commanded by Germans
When asked by Captain Ilurban, for?
merly of the Czecho-Slovak army. in
Siberia. whether he denied that Ger?
man officers, especially detailed from
Germany, were communding the Red
Guards in Siberia, Colonel Robins was
..nable to answer, but said the SibeVian
Soviet-; had threatened to use "any
means" to fight foreign intereference
in Russia.
After the meeting Captain Hurban
said hundreds of German officers were
commanding the Red Guards in Siberia
and that the Bolsheviki were maintain
ing delinitc relations with the German
General Staff.
Captain Hurban, incensed at Colonel
Robins's defence of the Bolsheviki,
tid:
Phc Germans were commanding the
Bolsheviki in Siberia when Colonel
Robins was there, and Colonel Robins

ered dangerous will be released on ,

2,000 German seamen, approximately
?1,000 Germans are interned. The sea?

British Airship
Flies 1,285 Miles
Without a Stop
Circuit of North Sea Made
in Forty and One-Half
Honrs, in Spite of High
Winds and Dead Motor
LOXDON, March 22.?The first ac
count of a remarkable long distance
flight over the North Sea which was
performed by a British non-rigid'' air?
ship, tho US-11. during the last few
days is now officially published. The
voyage took the form of a cirpuit, em
bracing the coast of Denmark, Schles
wig-Holstein, Helgoland, North Ger?
many and Holland. The trip was
characterized by extremely unfavor
able weather and therefore is regarded
as ranking as perhaps the most not
able flight of the kind ever undertaken.'
The total length of the round trip I
was 1,285 air miles, and the time taken !
was about forty and a half hours. I
The airship started from the Firth '
of Forth, laying a straight course !
toward Denmark. There was a north- ]
west wind of lifteen to twenty miles!
an hour and the night was dark, butj
the airship was only a mile from her'
course when she passed the Dogger
Bank lighthouse. Thcn the wind in
ereased and calcium flares were
dropped into the sea frequently to dc
termine the location.
The airship's troubles began on the
return journey. The wind became
stronger and more tempestuous. At
midnight one engine became uscless
and the ship was forced a considerable
distance to leeward. The captain con
templated landing in France, but
finally decided to hold on in the hope
the wind would abate. The wind abat
ing somewhat, a "land fall" was made
at North Forel. At this time the
gasolene supply was running low and
only one engine could he kept run?
ning. .
During the last stage of the voy
age tho wind was vcry violent and the
crcw had the greatest difficulty in con
tro'lir.g the ship. All suffered in
teri i ' from seasickness, cspecially
p ? ;.r;<l coxwains.
The flight was carried out entirely
ov< r the sea. It was the longest non
stop overseas voyage ever made by a
British air craft and so far as known
it was a world's record for non-rigid:
airships.

35,000 Workers Needed
HARRISBURG, Penn., March 22.?
Approximately 35,000 men will be em
ployed during the present year on road
building in Pennsylvania. According
to plans of the State Highway Depart- '?
ment, six hundred miles of road will i
be built. It is estimated that within j
the next two months contractors will ?
have to go in the labor market and j
employ at least ten thousand men in '
addition to the regular forces the large
construction organizations carry all the
time. The state employment sen-ice '
will be relied upon in obtaining the
men.
Approximately $100,000,000 will be
spent in road building in the state in
the next four years. A bill authorizing
tho state to issue bonds up to $50,000,
000 is going through the Legislature. !
In addition, the state will receive Fed- j
eral aid, and the counties are expected !
to expend many millions of dollars for
road purposes.

Speaking of Tailormade Suits
DO NOT M1STAKE
The DAFFODJLS of DUPLICATJON
For the ORCH1DS of ORJGJNAL1TY!
The fcreatest distinction apparent in the INDIVIDUAL SHOPS is in
their Apparel selections?not mostly duplication and lack of variety,
but mostly variety and lack of duplication.
An atmosphere of merchandise is no atmosphere for the modes and
one cannot mix the two successfully. You don't catch the French
doinfe it, nor us, nor should you! Fashion is a fcarden, merchandise
is a field. One js tended, the other is tilled. You do not want a
model that is sown broadcast like wheat, but the choice of many
models whose lineaments are a chequered spectacle of variety. .
And what is tme of a suit is true of its appurtenances; of a hat, a
fur scarf, a blouse, a shoe or a fclove.
