Kolchak Ready
For Advance
Upon Moscow
Thaw Causes Lull in Fight
Against' Bolsheviki; Me Is
Preparing for Campaign
as Soon as Roads Are Dry
PARIS, May 14. ? Plans are being
made by the all-Russian government at
Omsk to begin an advance on Moscow,
Admirai Kolchak, head of the govern?
ment, declared in an interview with
the correspondent of the "Petit Pa
risien." In discussing the military sit?
uation in Eastern Russia the Admiral
?aid:
"Owing to the thaw and the diffi
eulty of moving the artillery for war
a lul! prevails. Rut the operations will
l>c resumed before long, and we will try
to e.3tablish and guarantee communi?
cation with Archangel and also with
Gereral Denekine, in the south.
"The advance in the direction of
Moscow will then begin. The capture
of Moscow is the suprcme end, the
political Him, to which our wills must
bend But we must first reach the
purrly strategic aim, which is the de
struction of the Soviet army. This is
the end to which 1 will devotc my at?
tention."
Admiral Kolchak said the Allies
could aid in the campaign by sending
armament, munitions, material and
clothing to the army of the Omsk
government. The blockade of Soviet
Russia, he added, might be made more
stringent.
After the final victory, the Admiral
continued, a National Assembly will bo
talled to which he will hand over hls
?iUthority. To prepare for the election
of a National Assembly the Omsk
jo^inment will be asslsted by a coun?
cil composed of representatives of the
Jemstvos. the municipalities and the
larcre socia! organizations. The coun
1 ell will cooperate with the government
in the pacification of the country and
in fixing rules and organizing the elec
tions for the assembly.

Nansen Is Food
Envoy to Lenine
American Mission Goes
to Ukraine to Arrange
for Relief for Austria
PARIS, May 14 CBy The Associated
Press>.?Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, head of
the commission to feed Russia, has
gone to that country to negotiate di
rectly with Nikolai Lenine, the Bol
shevik Premier, on the question of food
relief and the cessation of fighting.
A Paris dispatch received last night
stated that a message had been received
there from .M. Tchitcherin, Bolshevik
Foreig.'i Minister of Russia, announcing
that the Bolsheviki refused to cease
hostii;ties as a condition to the pro
visioning of Russia by neutral coun?
tries.
VIENNA. May 12 i By The Associated
Press). -An American mission has been
?ent to the Ukraine by Cantain Thomas
Qregory, of the Inter-Allied Food Com?
mission, to arrange for an exchange
of Austrian manufactured goods for
flour ar.d notatoes for use here. This
Woum give the Austrians a chance to
obtain food in Europe instead of de
pending upon American importations,
and they would be able to pay in kind
for their nrcessities instead of relying
tipor. United States credits. Commerce
between the new states created out of
the former empire would also be devel?
oped bv similar means.
Captain Gregory has asked the Amer?
ican Red Cross to send soap and medi
eint- to the Ukraine, where the need
lor these products is urgent, owing to
typhus fever and skin diseases. Lieu?
tenant Colonel W. A. Jones, in com?
mand of a mission consisting of three
offlcers and a number of enlisted men,
will load the first American mission of
any .:on=equence sent to the Ukraine.
The party will travel by special train
by way of Stanislau, Tarnopol and
Kovno, planning to see Simon Petlura,
the peasant leader of the Ukraine, in
the last named city. It will also ar
range wjth West Ukraine for oil ship

?>ARIS. May 14.?In replying to
?*? complaints of delay in the allo
cation of military pensions, Leon
Abrami, Under Secretary of State
for Pensions, told the Chamber of
Deputies yesterday that with his
present staff it would take from
twelve to tiftecn years to clear up the
work. He said the bureau had
1,700,000 cases of wounded and wid
ows to deal with, and that the pres?
ent staff, which had been reduced
through the demobilization, was able
to cope with only 1J0.000 a year.
The Under Secretary suggested that
the staff should be reinforced by the
temporary employment of wounded
soldiers.

to poison the minds of the working i
classes in all countries.
"One of the greatest antidotes to all !
this, I believe, is home-owning. It was j
a not inconsiderable element in the j
iieroic, and almojt unbelievable. vic?
tory of the Finns over the Bolshevik
Red Guard. More than 50 per cent j
of the people of Finland own their !
own homes. The Finns, it should br
remembered, also cleared Esthonia of
the Boisheviki, organized her army, !
and after hberating 1,500,000 of her .
population put the nation upon her !
t'eet financially."
Recognition of the independence of!
Finland by the United States and Great
Britain, Mr. Saastamoinen added,
would be a great stimulus to business.
"We are in America for every kind
of raw materials and manufactures,"
he continued, "notably iron and steel,
oil and electrical machinery. We pre?
fer to deal directly with Americans
and not through intermediaries. In
return Ithere are wonderful possibili
ties in Finland for American buyers.
Our furniture industry is booming, and
we have an abundance of timber, par
ticularly pine and birch."
Red Spokesman Here
Explains Food Refusal
ISuorteva Says for Boisheviki
to Cease Hostilities at This
Time Would Be Suicidal
Commenting on the dispatch from
Paris, published yesterday, that the
Boisheviki have refuspd to cease hos?
tilities. even though food were pro?
vided them, Santeri Nuorteva, official
spokesman of the Russian Soviet Bu?
reau headed by L. C. A. K. Martens,
declared yesterday that for the Boi?
sheviki to cease hostilities would be
suicidal.
"The obvious intention of the dis?
patch," said Mr. Nuorteva, "is to con
vey the impression that the Soviet
government, for some insufficient rea?
son. refuses to accept offers to send
materials and food into Russia. This
dispatch is creating prejudice against
Soviet Russia by making it appear that
announced plans of supplying Russia
with material have been upset because
of the impossibility of coming to
terms with the Sovie't government.
"The actual situation," he continued,
"is the exact reverse. If the Allied
governments, through neutral chan
nels or otherwise, consent to send sup
plies to Russia and make conditions
that the Soviet government must cease
hostilities and the use of railroads for i
military purposes. such a request obvi- ;
ously can be complied with only if the |
Russian counter-revolutionists also I
cease their hostilities, and the Allied '
governments cease to supply these
counter-revolutionists with military
supplies. An acceptance of other con?
ditions would be equivalent to suicide.
"As stated by the Russian Soviet
Bureau, at the time the proposition to
'feed Russia' through neutral channels
was made, the Russian Soviet govern?
ment is willing in every way to aid a
movement of that kind. as long as it
has no political character and as long
as it is not being used as a subterfuge
for attempts to overthrow the present
government of Russia."

Dispatches from London state that the Italians are landing large
mihtary forces at Zara and Sebenico, in Dalmatia. The exact purpose
of the move is not made apparent, although it is generally assumed that
the disposition of the troops is an outgrowth of the territorial dispute at

Russian Bolsheviki
Beaten by Ukrainians
VIENNA, May 14 (By The Associ?
ated Press).?Russian Bolshevik forces
have met with new defeats from the
Ukrainians, led by Simon Petlura.
Zeleney, another peasant leader, is
leading fresh revolts throughout the
governments of Kiev, Tchernigov and
Poltava and the Bolsheviki have been
forced to reinforce their troops in
those districts.
The government of West Ukraine
has sent a mission to Italy to secure
the release of prisoners held there who,
it is planned, will be sent to reinforce
the army fighting against the Bolshe?
viki.

The home-coming folk of Finland be-:

svhen Russian Bolshevism sought to
spread westward, Armas Saastamoinen,
the new Finnish Minister to the United
States, declared yesterday. They
sprang to arms, he said, and estab?
lished at the Finnish border a dead?
line which the Bolsheviki could not
cross.
The pluckiness of the Finns, he con?
tinued, had resulted in a cordial un
derstanding between them and the
Scandinavian nations, which the Bol?
sheviki might have overrun but for
the defence of the Finns.
Finland, Norway, Sweden and Den?
mark, the members of this quadruple
entente, he said, were standardizing
their maritime and labor laws for their
mutual benefit. Nevertheless, he added,
Bolshevik propagandists were tireless
in preaching a world revolution in the
countries they could reach, and their
worthless eurrency had got as far as
France and England.

Try to Dodge New Taxes
WASHINGTON, May 14.?Many man?
ufacturers of proprietary remedies ad
vertised as more efficacious than simple
preparations on which no patent or
proprietary right exists have besieged
the internal revenue bureau recently
with claims that their articles were
nothing more than the simple prepara?
tions, though. marketed under fancy
names. Thus, the manufacturers as
serted, the remedies were not taxable
under the provisions of the revenue act
assessing a tax of one cent on each
twenty-iive cents' worth of proprietary
| remedies or toilet preparations sold at
[ retail stores since May 1.
Resulations on toilet and medicinal
articles provide that these preparations
are taxable if put out under a pro?
prietary name, with the formula not
announced, regardiess of the actual
composition.
