(By the Associated Press.) With the time for the conven ing of the German national assembly only six days off, the political situation suddenly has taken on an aspect -which must be considered menacing to the government. While it is unlikely any attempt will be made to disperse the constituent assembly at Weimar, there probably will be what amounts to a rival parliament-in session simultaneously in Ber lin. The Berlin meeting will be a Tiational congress of all soldiers' coun cils, called on the initiative of the local councils of Berlin, . ostensibly to con aider the question of retaining the power of military command in the councils. 1-acfc ot Cafidemce Srn, Among those who have followed the activities of the councils since the re cent revolt and particularly in the last -week there is little doubt, however, that the congress will afford the Spar t a cans. Independent Socialists and other radicals an opportunity to insist on the retention of the soviet system alone. If possible! but in any event, as a. gov ernment department having- equal rights with any eventual parliament or other governmental body. Although the decision to hold this congress to obviously a Tote of lack of confidence in the central committee, the. latter permits it to be unofficially announced that it is "indisposed to Sfrant this wish." Cablaet Ieelinea to Appear. The resolution summoning , the con gress declared that War Minister .Ilelnhardt'a recent order "is called to reduce the councils to a position of impotence and insignificance," an opinion which the Berlin council had strictly illustrated this week, when it sent a demand to the members of the cabinet to appear before it and de fend their recent course, and particu larly their attitude during Bolshevik week. The cabinet this week declined to ap pear before a local council, which was quite unauthorized, to exercise control over the natiorfe.1 government. Among the delegates to the coming national assembly, 36 women have been chosen. The Ebert government, ac cording to recent declarations, .will re sign as soon as a. president is elected. Among the candidates most prominently mentioned for president is Frederick Xaumaa. DAIRY EXHIBIT IS READY 31 ilk and Cream Today Will Be Sent to Boise, 'Idaho.

" WASHINGTON", Feb. 2. Congress faces its busiest week thus far of the short session, with final enactment ot the war revenue bill, legislation to vali date informal war contracts and the otl land leasing measure, regarded by lead era as the most urgent matters at hand. A number of the regular an nual appropriation bills also are pend ing and may be completed before Sat urday night. Senate and House conferees expect to reach a full agreement tomorrow on the oil land leasing bill while conferees on the legislation to validate informal war contracts will resume work, after failing to reach an agreement today.. Congestion of legislation caused Sun day committee work to begin today, and although few leaders of either party now feel that an extra session can be avoided, regular night sessions in both Senate and House may, begin soon. Strenuous efforts already are be ing made to prevent failure of many important bills, while members opposed to certain legislation are threatening filibusters, confident of their success In preventing action before the session ends March 4. Equal suffrage may be brought up again this week in the Senate. Advo cates of the Susan B. Anthony resolu tion admit, however, that the required two-thirds majority has not yet been secured. .

The British import embargo also may be discussed. Sena tor Weeks, of Massachusetts, Republi can, plans to present a resolution of in quiry on the subject tomorrow.

UKRAINE NOWjJN DANGER ( Continue from First Pap-.) body and not by the mass of- Ukra nians. they found the Rada not Sup ported, because in the Ukraine a really Russian separatist sentiment is ex tremely limited. "The Germans, to get support, tried the scheme of appointing General Skor opedski as hetman. uring his rule, however, he played no strong political role and I know his purpose always was eventually to reunite the Ukraine to Russia when Russia was rehabili tated. "To understand General Skoropcd ski's position remember that he took power in the presence of the German fait accompl'. Ho cannot be accused of being pro-German or pro-anything but Russian, and the other Russians who surrounded him and came flocking to him from the north, had the came feeling. It was either General Sko- ropeaski witn an eventual reunited Russia, which policy he finally an nounced publicly, or the Rada govern ment playing into the hands of Austria. ItnsKian Were the l'arrna. "We Russians aw neither for nor against the Germans. We simply had them on our hands and were glad to- have them keep order. The situation was past tne point wnere there was a question on which side of the war we are; we were the pawn between Aus tria and the Bolshevik!. "The Germans are irclined to play neutral, hoping to get food. They were thus passively aiding the Rusr:an gov ernment movement. So whatever the Germans purposed, their presence had the effect of helping to organize the Russian rather than the Ukranian government in Kief, and we Russians with most of th eUkranlans were only waiting for the fall of the Bolshevik! to rejoin Russia. "Then came the German revolution. It was no longer possible to hold Ger man troops in the Ukraine and to sup port this Russian movement, now well developed, we Russians tried every thing possible to get entente troops from Odessa to Kiev to help us over the bad moment until the Bolshevik! had fallen. Skorepedak! I'ereed Out. , "But with the entente troops not coming. General Skoropedski was forced out with the Germans, and Gen eral Petlura, who was in the move ment which originally invited the Ger mans in, jumped up now as anti-German and practically instituted a Bol shevik programme, such as the oris-, inal i'ieds tried to escape by a Sep- Ipurr flight.

"This leaves the military situation in a serious state. General Skoropcdskl openly supported General Krassnov, who with a strong army, is now ootslde Vronje. The Bolshevik! now at Tzarlt zin. cut him off from Utoff at Oren burg. General lenikine in ICuban with the other two must now pinch the Bol shevik! out of Tzaritzin or General Krassnov cannot hold, although he has a powerful army made more certain than the ordinary Cossack army be cause General Krassnov succeeded in mobilizing the non-Cossack inhabitants of the Don. "If Ihe entente troops were In Kiev and Kharkov and Genecal Krassnov were thus supported on the left flank, then the anti-Bolshevik movement in the south of Russia would be doubly strong. Without the entente General Krassnov is still strong, but is threat ened by the chaotic situation li the Ukraine on his flank rendering it diffi fcult for him to concentrate attention upon the taking of Tzaritzin and thus control in the Volga ajrain." U. 'S. POLICY IS LAUDED to the arrival of the cold half of Win ter, are not getting worse nearly as fast in the American areas as in other parts of Germany, notably Cologne, where, according to the Cologne Ga zette, they'are becoming alarming. American military authorities are do ing everything in their power to con servo German food within the area ex clusively for the German population, and If the population can pull through the Winter without food help from America and the allies, the credit will be first due to our military authorities. The political pilgrims in Southern Germany, reminiscent of the critical period in American political history, are being watched with the utmost in terest from here. Reports reach here that Bavaria Is alarmed by the possi bility of a highly centralized German government. She fears losing her old peace-time sovereignty. llunn rVearlng: Peace Baals. The report says Bavaria is trying to induce Saxony, Wurttcmburg and Baden to participate in action to stand against the idea of a centralized gov ernment and to preserve the right to secede from a loose federation at will. In the opinion of political experts here, Germany may face its crisis in deciding between states rights and a federal union on the American plan. The demobilization and readjustment ofthe enemy forces is being also closely followed from here. The impression here is that all the old infantry, artil lery and cavalry regiments, with the exception of the Alsace-Lorraine regi ments which existed prior to the out breaw of the war will continue their existence, though in a highly skeleton ized form, averaging only a thousand men per regiment. New formations' are believed mostly disDanded and the general idea is that the German army today is practically back on a peace-time basis. More than 2000 women took the places of men on six steam railways In and about New York City; i'080 went to work in 10 munition factories, while nearly 5000 were employed in similar factories in the eastern states, all between the Spring of 1917 and that of inn.

"Our boys have gained aft enviable record overseas. The world has learned by their actions that the West has pro duced an army of fighters. brave, and staunch, who were not acquainted with defeat and who ' forged to the front, overcoming all obstacles, until final victory was attained. "Therefore, it behooves this city to extend itself in welcoming them home, not alone the boys from our city but also those from oor state.
