ATTACKS ARE BEATEN OFF of AYahington Believes Strength Reds Is Waning, but Fall of Re' gime Soon Is Not Expected. "WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. Overthrow of the Bolshevik regime in the Uk raine and the capture of Kiev by Cos sack troops friendly to the all-Russian government, as reported today from Copenhagen, opens the way. In the opinion of officials here, for Important developments in Russia. While no change in policy, either po litical or military, has been made by the United States, it is realized here that the holding of the Ukraine by forces friendly to the associated gov ernments and decidedly hostile to the Bolshevlki opens a path directly into the heart of Russia either for the dis patch of troops or of supplies for the relief of the demoralized civilian pop ulation. Red Leaders May Flee. Recent reports from London have been taken by some observers here to indicate that Great Britain may pro pose the sending of additional troops into Russia to place the country on a .table footing and eliminate the Bol sheviki. It is said today, however, that no definite word as to this has bee received here. Possibilities that the Bolshevik lead ers may flee Russia after accumulattn large amounts of loot have been touched upon in recent dispatches but have bee discounted here, largely because no haven for them appears available. Switzerland has ejected their represen tatives forcibly. Holland has declared they are not wanted there, and even Germany now is not expected to toler ate them within its borders. Allies Repel Attacks. The Bolshevik fighting strength vir tually is concentrated against the al lied and Russian troops operating south from Archangel. The unusual lateness of the Winter in that region has aided the Bolshevists, as in the- ice-free streams they have been able to utilize armed river boats against the allied and United States forces, who have been compelled to operate almost alto gether on land. Tet they have been able to withstand all attacks. Despite the resistance they are offering in the , north, it Is believed in some quarters here that the strength of the Bolshevlki is waning. With the Cossacks holding the Ukraine, with the military and po litical forces of the Omsk government working west, and with the American and allied forces pushing south, some officials consider that the position of the disturbers of Russian peace has be come serious. However, no Immediate collapse of the Bolshevik regime is be lieved imminent. has been stopped and the residents are unable to leave their homes. The rattle of machine guns has been con tinuous and there was fierce fighting for the possession of the town hall, the postoffice, the Diet building and the Governor's palace, parts or the Duua ings being destroyed. The Ukrainlani outnumber the Poles, and it was de clared In Vienna on Monday that Lem berg was entirely in the hands of the Ukrainians. The Ukrainians also have captured Czernowits. the capital of ,Bukowina and Boleslav. while fighting is in prog ress at Przemysl, Kolomea and Stanis- lau. . The correspondent says the fighting in Galicla seems to be a case for allied intervention. - COPENHAGEN. Nov. 20. The Ukrain ian lovernment has been overturned and Kiev has been captured by troops from Astrakhan, according to Kiev dls patches to Swedish newspapers. The Ukrainian National Assembly has fled and a provisional government has been established by the captors or trie city, who apparently are commanded by General Denlkine, leader of the anti- Bolshevist forces. CONGRESS TO QUIT TODAY PLANS FOR BRIEF VACATION PRACTICALLY COMPLETED. ALLIES WILL KEEP HANDS OFF Effort Will Be Made Only to Extend Economic Aid to Slavs. WASHINGTON. Nor. 20. (Special.) The allied powers and the United States will not send - military forces to Russia to overthrow the Bolshevlki. This statement was made here today on high authority. The associated governments themselves do not desire to participate in civil war in Russia. The Russians themselves, including the -anti-Bolshevik and pro-ally elet merits, are opposed to foreign military intervention. Economic intervention however, is urgently desired by Rus sians, and it is understood that a plan has been formulated, which will be submitted to the United States and the entente nations, having the Indorse ment of the provisional ail-Russian government at Omsk and the Russian diplomatic representatives abroad. This plan calls for allied assistance in the distribution of foodstuffs al ready available in certain parts of Rus sia, rather than for any political or military assistance. In order to guarantee equitable and efficient distribution, however. It is proposed that an inter-allied com mission with sufficent military forces at its disposal to insure the execution of its orders shall be sent to Russia. FIGHTING IS FIERCE IJT G ALICIA Numerous Towns Are Seized by Ukrainians From Poles. LONDON. Nor. 20. Since the capture of Lemberg. the capital of Galicla. by the Ukrainians. November 1. fighting has continued between the Ukrainians and the Poles without cessation, ac cording to Austrian newspapers quoted in a Vienna dispatch dated Monday to the Dally Mail. Lemberg was taken by surprise. Pol ish legions attempted to recapture the rity. Both sides are using artillery and German officers are helping the Ukrainians. All traffic to and from Lemberg Dandruffy Heads Become Hairless If you want plenty of thick, beauti ful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff Is to dis solve it. then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring: use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with tbe finger tips. By morning most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every sin gle sign and trace of It. You will find. too. that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is Inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never falls. Adv. Scientific Skin Remedy Few Formal Matters Yet to Be Dis posed Of; Last Session or Pres ent Body Opens Dec. 2. WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Senate and House leaders today completed arrange ments for the ending tomorrow of the present session of Congress, so mem bers may have a brief vacation before the third and last session opens, De cember 2. A few obstacles to the programme de veloped today, but leaders believe they will serve only to postpone adjourn ment for a few hours. Senators Watson, of Indiana, and Sherman of Illinois, Re publicans, were expected to address the Senate in criticism of President Wilson's action in taking control of cables after the signing of the armis tice, while Senator Reed, of Missouri, Democrat, has prepared a speech on the plans for a league of nations. Among the formal matters for dis position before adjournment tomorrow are transmission to the President, after signature by Vice-President Marshall and Speaker Clark, of the National war time prohibition bill, and confirmation by the Senate of the nomination of Former Solicitor-General Davis to be Ambassador to Great Britain. During the recess the finance com mittee hopes to complete revision of the war revenue bill to have it ready for the Senate when the new session begins. The committee today again suspended formal sittings, to enable treasury experts to work on proposed amendments.

Fred Lockley, returned T. M. C. A. worker from France, and newspaper man, was the speaker at the luncheon of the Portland Ad Club yesterday at the Hotel Benson. Marshall N. Dana introduced the speaker. Lady Kingston was an honor guest at the luncheon and a programme of patriotic songs preceded the address. Mr. Lockley told of the heroism or the men in service, and of the disap pearance of lines of distinction and na tionality among the soldiers of the allied armies. "A lot of the wonderful Irish, and a lot of the wonderful Scotch and a lot of the wonderful Canadian soldiers I met overseas came from the states of our own great west," he said, and over there they were all just mates." i HAND OF HUN IS SEEN (Continued from FMrst Page.) give preference to tnoae who were friends." Later he told the committee that he would be willing to assume that 11 the documents relating to the firms which Major Humes put into the record were taken from tne rues or tne asso ciation. ' Beano of Listing Given. Major Humes told the committee the firms were listed by the Brewers As sociation because of their attitude against the use of liquor by their em ployes or because of activity of mem bers of the firms, and in some in stances of employees against the liquor business. The Inquiry into political activity be gan when John Gardiner was called to the stand. The witness said he might have seen lists of candidates at dif ferent times from 1911 to 1914 which the brewers' association indorsed in some states, including Iowa, Texas, Pennsylvania. Indiana and one candi date for Congress from Illinois, but he could not recall the details. He ad mitted the association was active in wet and dry fights in several states in those years and said that in that time it spent between $400,000 and $500,000 doing all "it legitimately could to arouse public sentiment in our favor." Gardiner declared the brewers made no contributions to political cam paign committees and at first denied it had endorsed any set of candidates. Statement la Read. It was while Secretary Fox was on the stand that Major Humes read the statement said to have been prepared by the former president of the Ger man-American Alliance. Copies of the statement which was a declaration of the alliance's position o . the European war before the United States became a belligerent were sent to K. W. Feigen- pan. of Newark. N. J., who aided in financing the purchase of the Wash ington Times and the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser and who then was chairman of the publications com mittee of the Brewers' Association. Hexamer's statement condemned as sabotage the destruction of American factories engaged in producing war materials for the allies and also con demned the sinking of the ships carry ing munitions. Those responsible for such should be punished, Hexamer said. but he added that he did not believe they were committed at the instance of Germany or Austria. "This indicates that some literary- inclined persons of the office of the United States Brewers' Association was writing German propaganda, does it not?" asked Major Humes. I don't recall anything about it." Mr. Fox replied. "Mr. Felgenspan was the chairman of the publications committee at the time this article was written, and it was sent to him. was it not?" Yes," Fox replied, and he added: That bears an indication that someone prepared it in the office of our associ ation." 'German propaganda," he continued. "was. by common consent, discussed very little with us. I do not know whether that was because I am an Eng lishman or not." METZ, Nov. 20. Marshal Petain, com mander-in-chief of the French armies, made his triumphal entry into Mets yesterday with a staff of allied officers at the head of the famous Iron Division, the 39th Division of the 20th Corps. From all the statues of French heroes still-standing In Mets flags were fly ing. but most things German had dis appeared overnight, including the statues of German rulers, which had been hauled down by the citizens. The statues of William I and Freder ick III had been toppled over, but that of former Emperor William II stood grotesquely on the facade of the ca thedral. The hands had been chained during the night and into them had been put a banner bearing the inscrlp tion, "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi." Troops Are Reviewed. Following Uie troops was a long pro 'cession of Lorraine societies and other groups, including a great number of girls In the national costume of Lor raine. This procession met the Marshal at the Port de France and conducted him in triumph to the Esplanade, where surrounded by a remarkable group of generals and other high officers, he re viewed the troops. The day was one of notable enthusi asm, which dusk failed to diminish. Bands with torches appeared as soon as the light began to fade and jubilant processions continued gaily to circulate through the town . until a late hour. Meanwhile from the French line all around the fortress there was a bril liant display of fireworks which brightly lighted the sky, signal fuses and 8larshells serving as skyrockets. Bells Ring 'Welcome. A little later the cannon of the forts around about the city began firing a saiuie or juu rounds. The famous ca thedral bey, the motto on which reads: "I Announce Justice," gave the signal for the other bells in the city to peal forth a welcome to "our liberators," as the people of Metz call the French and the allied armies. When Marshal Petain appeared, mounted on a fine white charger and followed by the entire general staff, with American and British officers attached, a shout went up that drowned the whirr of airplanes flying overhead, and the crowd surged forward, break ing the line of guards in places to get a glimpse of the victorious commander of the French armies. Tanks Are la Parade. Still mounted, Marshal Petain took up his position in front of the statue of Marshal Ney to review the troops comprising the 39th Division of In fantry, with its artillery, under Gen eral Pougin; a detachment of the First Corps of ' ivalry, under General Fe raud; other mounted troops uner Gen eral De Boissieu: two escorting squad rons from the First Moroccan Division and a detachment of tanks.
