OREGON SOLDIERS MISSING
TM.RIS, March 12. Former -Grand
Duke Alexander Michaelovitch. who
arrived in Paris recently from the
''rimea, told the Associated Press today
that unless armed allied intervention
In Russia began at once, the situation
in Russia would become so hopelessly
tlesperate that it would take years to
restore a semblance of order in eastern
Europe.
-' " The former grand "duke, who is a
brother-in-law of. the former emperpr,
continued: -"1 do not ask the allies to
fight for us. We merely ask them' to
keep order in the territories wrested
irom nolFhevism by the. governments
already fighting in the soviet.
"I came here in January in. an at
tempt to help my country as a private
itizeri." I thought I would find justice
and sympathy at the p-ace conference
but have been disappointed, as I
round visible only personal intrigues,
party politics and national egotism.
Audience In ItefuNed.
"T requested President, Wilson to re
reive me, .but tie replied through his
secretary that he was too bupy with
ioace conference matters. Wiiat mat
ter can be more momentous to the
rcace conference than the Russian
;roblem? 1 asked to be allowed to go
to England, but was refused a pass
port, yet they received Kerensky. I
i?rre not request permission to visit
America, not wishing to invite a re
buff." Referring to the proposed conference
ira the Princes islands, the grand duke
said that the proposal was a mistake,
fis the bolsheviki are claiming that the
Allied (,'overnmenti. have recognized
't hem because they feared the boishe
t iki.
"On January 2o," the grand duke con
tinued, "seven days after the Princes
islands proposal, the bolsheviki led my
two brothers and two cousins rom the
fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul and f
. shot them without trial.

"They never would have dared to do
this unless they had been sure of the
moral support afforded by the semi

"Had President Wilson come out
strongly and surely with a repudiation
of and non-recognition of the bolshe
viki, it would have encouraged the
governments w-arring against them.
Bolshevism will be the devil' in the
future league of nations.
"It is my opinion that the spartacan
movement is kept alive only as a means
of blackmail against the allies. When
Germany has used the spartacans to
the utmost to blackmail the entente
into sending food and granting merci
ful conditions of peace, spartacism will
tlisappear."

LONDON, March 12. (Special Cable.)
The appearance in Brazil of numer
ous Japanese agents recently, who are
believed to have been sent there by the
Japanese government to study possibili
ties of colonizing on a bigger scale
than heretofore attempted, has been
reported to British concerns by their
representatives in Brazil.
Added interest is aroused by the
report from the British consul at Sao
Paulo increasing the number oonsid'
erably. and undoubtedly they will af
Tect tne state economically and po
litically in due course. He also reports
the, presence of agents evidently sent
out by the Japanese government.
One Japanese company in Tokio with
a capital of $500,000 is making an ef
fort to place 2000 families on land
granted some time ago by the Brazilian
fiovernment. It has jilaced 380 families,
but has now obtained five years more
to complete their contract.

ARCHANGEL March 11. By the
Associated Press.) The allied Vaga
column yesterday withdrew north from
Vistavka to a new position. Head
quarters announces that the with

allied troops bringing out most of their
war material and destroying the re
mainder and completely leveling the
ruins of the village, which the bolshe
viki artillery partly wrecked.
Since the evacuation of Vistavka
there has been another lull in the bol
shevik offensive on the Vaga front.
.Detailed reports of Sunday's infantry
engagement, in which. the Britisn
Americans and Russians repulsed the
enemy, indicate that the bolshevik
losses were about 400 killed. The al
lied losses were very small.
One of the allied airplanes Monday
scored a direct hit with a bomb on an
enemy column on the march up the
road near the village of Kerchela.
The food situation in northern Rus
sia is causing some concern. , In the
district between Archangel and Onega,
where a heavy frost late last summer
killed even the Arctic summer berries,
the people have already eaten tl-e
ration lixed for next June. American
army surgeons, have analyzed the civil
ian ration for the entire population in

STAMFORD, Conn., March 12. Ho
mer S. Cummlngs .chairman of the na
tional democratic committee, in a for
mal statement Issued here today,
charged that the anate by its failure
to pass "many pending measures es
sential to American business." had "ab
dicated its functions and neglected its
cwn duty to point out the supposed
derelictions of the president and de
fects in a peace treaty which lias not
been completed and which Is not be
fore the senate for Its consideration."
Ieclaring. that 'those who assent to
so desperate a political device assume
a heavy responsibility." Mr. Cummlngs
praised the attitude of former Prcsl
dent Taft and criticised the republican
senators opposed to the present terms
of th draft, "under the leadership of
Senators Lodge. Penrose and Knox.'
Hi charged them with having no
"breadth of view." and with being
actuated "in part by a nettled dislike
for Wilson and all his works, and in
part by a fixed purpose to embarrass
the president and to weaken his in
fluence at home and abroad."
All civilization is today upon an un
safe and unstable basis," said Mr.
Cummings. "The break-up of empire
the struggling Into national lifo of sub
merged peoples, the rise and .pread
of bolshevism, the dislocation of in
dustry and the existence of famine have
created new and extraordinary diffi

ENCE IS APPLAUDED
Washington Senator Asserts the An
nouncement Is Iost Refreshing;
News lor Suffering Millions.
WASHINGTON. March II. Senator'
Poindexter of Washington, one of the
33 republican senators who approved
the resolution of Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, opposing the proposed
constitution of the league of nations,
issued a statement tonight asserting
that "the most refreshing news for
the suffering millions of the world is
the announcement that definite prelimi
nary terms of peace have been agreed
uoon and that peace will no longer be
delayed while awaiting discussion of a
league of nations.
"The wisest decision reached by the
peace conference," Senator Poindexter
said, "is that the. treaty of peace, re
storing order and happiness to the
world, is to be kept separate and dis
tinct from the league for the conduct
of future wars.
"The crying need of the world is
peace and peace has been deliberately
denied it in the effort to form a war
league. The peace congress has at last
awaked to the demand for peace
and seized the opportunity of the last
three weeks, being relieved during that
period of the obsession of the war
league to make the terms of peace."

Meat: Russia and the Allies
Russia crumbled away and failed the
Allies largely thrpugh lack of food, accord
ing to an American eyewitness.
With plentiful reserves and resources
virtually untouched, her people starved at
home and at the front because there
was no adequate . organization to place
food where it was needed.
v Animals on the hoof were shipped thou
sands of miles to the various fronts, wasting
transportation facilities required for other
purposes. They arrived shrunken and ema
ciated, to be killed and dressed amidst-nlth
and confusion behind the lines. Half of those
brought from Siberia, it is said, perished on
the way; many more were unfit for food.
On the other hand, the American packers turned
live stock into meat in large sanitary plants located in
the producing sections, and shipped the product under
refrigeration so that it reached the trenches in Franco
in perfect condition, without waste.
Says Our Authority :
"Had such facilities for cold storage transportation
been available to the Russian supply committee as
were placed at the disposal of the quartermaster of
the United States by Swift & Company, there might
have been a different story concerning Russia's part '
in the final drama of the war."
A large-scale packing industry would be an asset
to Russia, in war or in peace, as it has proved to be to
the United States.
The cost of this large scale industry in the form of
profits is only x a fraction of a cent per pound of meat

Interest Hate Not Derided.
"I am led to adopt the plan of issu

term bonds largely because I believe
that a short-term issue will maintain a

the intention of the treasury depart

"Tho business of the country looks
to the banking system for credit where
with to carry on its operations, and
if this credit is absorbed to a large
extent by the purchase of government

tions placed upon the supply of credit

rate in order that full employment at
good wages may continue and where

vitally important that activity be re
sumed and labor reemployed at the
earliest possible moment.
"I, therefore, ask the American peo
ple once again to give their support

great loan may be made an over

sible distribution."
