J.ETTS ARE ADVANCING Iieds Still Hold 6 0 Miles of Their Territory British Have Kew Troubles la Mesopotamia. LON'DON', Jan. 22. (By the Associ ated Press.) The position of General Denikine, anti-bolshevik leader in southern Russia, to all appearances is somewhat better, according to the war office summary. The inevitable pause which mwt follow any long and rapid offensive such as has been conducted by the bolshevik! in south ern Russia has occurred. Much depends upon the support af forded Denlkine by the population at bis tear. Latest reports seem to indi cate that he still commands their full confidence and loyalty. However, his losses- of materials in the recent re treat are bound to have a grave ef fect os future operations. The im minent danger to their country has caused both the Don and Kuban cos sacks to rally whole - heartedlyu around the government and afford support to Denlkine. The bolshevik advance in Siberia appears to have slowed down. The allied hlg-h commissioner received a message from Admiral Kolchak at Nljni Udlnsk stating that he is re maining there with the ministers of his suite, whose fate lie intends to share. In west Russia the Letts, since the opening of their offensive on Janu ary 4, have retaken a stretch of their country about 40 miles in depth and captured 13,000 prisoners and consid erablomaterlaL Sixty miles of Lettish territory still remains in bolshevik hands. The bolshevik! have concentrated strong forcea of troops for the de fense of the important junction of Kieshitsa and are also counter-attacking the Lettish, left along the Pskov railway, where they have been repulsed with heavy losses. The reds have not succeeded in checking the Lettish advance in the center. In the Caucasus the bolshevik ad vance down the western shore of the Caspian appears to threaten Petrovsk, the base of the volunteer fleet. In trans-Caspla, the bolshevlkl have not yet captured Krasnovodsk as report ed. They have penetrated as far as 1'agman, but are held up by volun teers who occupy strong positions, while -the bolshevik flanks are ex posed to fire 'from the sea. A bolshevik mission is reported to have arrived at Kabul, Afghanistan, and to have been received with great ceremony. Two emissaries from Con stantinople are also said to be at Kabul. Ramadan Shalash, the Mesopota mian leader, has adopted an attitude or deriance towards Dotn me isritisii and Arab governments. He is call ing In loans advanced by the Meso potamian administration to the people ;and sending agents far -within the frontier to stir up trouble. A band of tribesmen attacked Albukemel on January 11, but was beaten off by the British. British airplanes caused heavy casualties. One plane picked up a wounded British officer and car ried him 240 miles to a hospital. WASFTTXGTOr. Jan. 22.

General Graves said he believed the Incident could be peacefully adjusted with General Semenoff, "who could not have been responsible." VLADIVOSTOK, Tuesday, Jan. 11. YBv the Associated Press.)

The only Americans now remaining in the danger zone, where disorders are prevalent, are those belonging to Colonel Morrow s regiment. Their ar rival here depends upon railroad con dltions, which daily are growing worse. LONTX5N, Jan. 22. A Peking dis patch of January 17 says that Gen eral Semenoff has assumed full pow ers of government in far eastern Si beria. General Horvath has assumed similar powers in the territory served by the Chinese Eastern railway, the dispatch adds. A Harbin dispatch dated January 17 and received yesterday stated that General Semenoff, who as commander-in-chief of tha All-Russian arm ies had issued a proclamation de claring his assumption of supreme rulership.in Siberia. The dispatch said General Snenoff s representa tives in Harbin assumed that Semen off was only taking over supreme au thority temporarily "because of the lack of knowledge of the whereabouts ' of Admiral Kolchak. form of border rairiR heirinninff- In ' 1915, the second that held out as a bait by the Germans in the Zimmer mann note when they dangled before the Mexicans the prospect of recover ing the border states with the possi ble assistance of Japan. The third is closely allied with the impetus that i nas Deen given the bolshevik move ment, and in support of that charge Chairman Fall announced there would be placed before the committee evidence showing that Carranza is yet offering support to Augustin Garza, mentioned in the plan of San Diego as the military leader, and the minutes of a meeting of anarchistic organiza tions in Mexico that Indicate the existence of a conspiracy to foment labor uprisings in the United States. What is taken as evidence that Car ranza was backing the plan in 1915 and 1916 is contained in a report to the state department which was made a part of the committee's record. The report is the statement of a man used by the principals in working out their organization and programme. Me said he was sent to Jesus Acuna, the minister of gobernacion, by I31isio Arredondo, then Carranza's. ambassa dor designate in Washington, for in struction. Acuna sent him to General Zuazua. who was maintaining an of fice in Mexico City in the same build ing with Augustin Garza, alias Lino Caballo. They discussed with him frankly, he said, the carrying out of the plan of San Diego or "the Texas revolution." as it was also referred to by them. He asked them to as sist In raising funds. Carraua Part "All Fixed." The author of the statement said he asked if Carranza knew of this plan and was told "that part was all fixed." An Incidental connection of Japan ese with the attempt to put Into ef fect the plan of San Diego was in dicated In the statement. "Pablo Nago," the assumed name of a Japanese, was used as a go between by General Zuazua, and, ac cording to the document, seven or eight Japanese officers were partici pants in a raid near Brownsville. Nago was given as authority for the statement that th.jy were called away from the organization by the Japan ese minister at Mexico City, who threatened them with forfeiture of rank if they refused. Their accounts of their part in the raid, as told by XNago, appear to indicate their deep disappointment with the military tac tics employed. The alleged relatlonshin of General Pablo Gonzales, now a candidate for the presidency of Mexico, to the plot was indicated In the statement bv the declaration that on one occasion Au gustin Garza and General Zuazua ob tained from him 15,000 pesos and 15, 000 in- American gold. The monev. Garza said, was intended for an American negro who had been hired to instigate a munity of. negro troops on the border. Mario Mendiez was oredited with having offered its au thor a commission to obtain anar chists in the United States to dyna mite "certain places" in this country.

TVo Outlet to Mediterranean for Kew Armenia France Will Sit Athwart the Bagdad Railway. BT WILLIAM T. ELLIS. (Copyright by the New York Herald Com pany. All rights reserved.) NEW YORK. France's star is in the ascendant around the Mediter ranean at present. Not only has she won out in her controversy with Great Britain .over the" possession of Syria, but she also has settled down into possession of- Cilicia. which adjoins Syria on the west. She also is at the moment, highest in favor with the Turks. France's control of Cilicia, at first only a military administration under the allies, has now settled down into permanent possession. She has taken over the courts, as. well as the rail ways and the ports, and has dis tributed her officials over the outly ing parts of a liberally construed Cilicia. The famous Cilician plain itself, one of the garden spots and battlegrounds of antiquity, lies between the eastern end of the Mediterranean srtid the Taurus mountains. Foremost among the historical characters with which it is associated are the Apostle Paul, who was born and educated In Tarsus, long its chief city, and Cleopatra, whose romance with Antony had in teresting chapters located here. Mountain Scenery Grand. The famous Cilician Gates, the pass through the Taurus mountains which connects the uplands of Asia with the Cilician plaint is one of the grand est bits of mountain scenery . to be found on earth. I would rank It with Colorado's best and as almost rivall ing the famous Georgian military road across the-Caueasus. As a"t present occupied by the French, who make their seat of ad ministration at Adana. the region reaches northward and eastward to include the cities of Sllvas, Malatia, Harput, Marash, Aintab, Urfa and Diarbekler. There is no interval be tween the new "sphere" and France's Syrian possessions. The territory reaches to Mesopotamia and into the mountains of the region loosely called Armenia. It also approaches near to the Black sea. From a commercial standpoint, which is almost the first considera tion in near eastern developments, this new occupation gives to France control of all the eastern Mediter ranean seaports, from Haifa, clear around the head of the sea to Mersina, the port of Tarsus and Adana. Such pivotal seaports as Beirutand Alex- andretta and Latakia and Syrian Tripoli are included in the new French domain. French to Control Skipping. .

FRENCH CABINET MAY FALL (Continued From First Page.) MURDER CHARGE IS MADE STATE'S STAR WITXKSS AC CUSED BY DEFE.D.XT. Sensation Sprung in Pendleton Trial or W. W. Wilder for - Death of ex-Soldier. PENDLETON, Or., Jan. 22. (Spe cial.) Accusation of Charles Jones, the state's star witness, by W. W. Wilder as the real slayer of Bert McNeese, Freewater soldier, for whose murder Wilder is on trial, provided something of a sensation in the trial today. Jones was called by the state as an eyewitness of the crime. . It is his story that after the three had been drinking Wilder shot McNeese, firing two shots from a revolver, and saying something to the effect that "no man can steal $80 from me and get away with it." Jones claims to have grabbed Wllder's arm and made him drop the pistol. The weapon was Identified as one which had been loaned to Wilder. Wilder, however, made the statement that it was Jones who did the shooting. He said that while he was In his home he heard two shots and went out to see Jones, the pistol in hand and McNeese, run ning, fall dead. He says Jones hand ed the pistol to him and said that he had shot McNeese because of their old friendship. They made it up that the shooting should appear as a suicide. Wilder claims that his alleged con fession was made to stop the sheriffs third degree. He seemed on the wit ness stand the more self-possessed of the two. Jones is 39 years old. mar ried and the father of five children. A strong point made by the prosecu tion is the statement of Jones that George H. Bishop, Wllder's attorney, called him into the office and said: "We would like very much if you could change your story. ANTI-RED BILLS FOUGHT (Continued From First Page.) of Seattle, representing the American Newspaper Publishers' association. Confidence Held Falling. Under this bill republican post masters might suppress ' all demo cratic papers, Weston said. Confidence in the impartiality of the department of justice in dealing with radicals and obstructors has de creased alarmingly. William McDon ald of New York told the committee. "There ls.no confidence either In the postoffice department In barring newspaoers from the mails,' he add ed. "This bill would increase the number of those against whom this bill is aimed.

They con stitute a cruel slander upon Mrs. Thomas, behind whom all of Mr. Shonts' friends are standing." George W. Files, counsel for Mrs. Shcnts, said evidence to support the contentions of Mrs. Shonts in the com plaint would be adduced at the prop er time. Friends of Mrs. Shonts continued to assert that Mr. Shonts was worth several millions of dollars up to a short time before his death. This contention has been denied by all who were close to the former head of the Intercorough. DADS AND LADS TO MEET Pasco Plans Week of Fathers' and Sons' festivities. PASCO. Wash, Jan. 22. (Special.) Arrangements have been completed for the fathers and sons' banquet to be held during fathers' and eons' week, February 15 to 22. The ban quet will be held at the high school on the evening of Friday, February 20, and will be served by the domestic science department of the high school Mayor Lee C. Henderson is chairman of the committee having the matter in charge and will act as toastmaster at the banquet. A number of the fathers and several of the sons will give short talks on subjects appropriate to the occasion and Attorney M. M. Moulton of Ken newick, will deliver the principal ad dress of the evening. Music, vocal and instrumental, will be provided. The purpose of the banquet, as well as the entire week, is to bring the fathers and their sons together in a more intimate relationship so that they may reach a better understand ing of their mutual responsibilities. MEXICAN DESIGNS BARED (Continued From First Page.) have urged, to bolshevize the country and which will, I believe, do so. I have been extended unusual help in various ways by President Carranza and his prime minister, Secretary Eerlanga." Summarized, the plan of San Diego, a copy of which was read into the record, follows: "The states of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and California are to be invaded simultaneously with uprisings of Mexican and negro citi zens on the American side. A sep arate government is to be established and re-annexatlon to Mexico request ed. Six other states contiguous to this territory are to be carved out of the United States to be formed into a negro republic under the protection of Mexico. This is to be accomplished in a ruthless manner. All male Amer leans of more than 16 years of age are to be killed." German Bietes Recalled. The character of the testimony de welopea three phases of the pro gramme, the first of which took the COLLEGE STUDENT JAILED Ex-Service Man Is Charged With Career of Larceny. PULLMAN, Wash, Jan. 22. (Spe cial.) William Burns, an ex-soldier enrolled in the department of elemen tary science of the state college un der the vocational training plan fol lowed by the government, was today arrested and taken to Colfax to answer to a charge of larceny. Burns had been under suspicion for some time and a tew days ago went to Spokane While he was absent his room was searched under a search warrant and numerous articles-, alleged to have been stolen from the state college were found. It is. alleged that the thefts extend over a period of several months and include almost everything that the man could lay his hands on. The dis covery of the culprit was due largely to the assistance given the officials by the vocational club of the college, composed of war veterans. World-Wide Hunt Ends. CHICAGO. Jan. 22. A world-wide search for Herman J. Blumson, charged with defrauding Chicago banks of $300,000 on .forged bills of lading, ended today when word was received that he was under arrest in Johannesburg, South Africa, possessions. If they may so be termed, give her control of a considerable sec tion of the length of this great war prize. Now France will have to be given a say in its direction. Much of the traffic- that is destined to go to the middle east over this famous line will be carried from France in ships to Alexandretta and then put aboard trains. This develop ment gives France a closer connec tion with the trade of, a large part of the east - than England, because principal ports of France are on the Mediterranean and nearer to the Bag dad railway at Alexandretta. The present political rivalry of the two powers will soon be commercial also Armenian Hopes Dashed. There Is another important side to the French occupation of Cilicia. This region has been claimed by the ad vocates of an independent Armenia. They ' have said that without the sea ports and trade and agricultural prod ucts of Cilicia. Armenia would be strangled. The second largest center of Armenian population in Turkey is Adana, made famous by the massacres under Abdul Hamld. By France's seizure of Cilicia and the principal cities adjacent, which the Armenians had looked upon as their own and to be claimed by them before the peace conference, it would seem as if the hopes of the Armenians for a "greater Armenia" are already dashed. France is not likely to sur render what she has already taken into her possession. Great Britain alone could force -her; to do so and Great Britain is in an analogous sit uation in Mesopotamia. To force France, to disgorge Cilicia would be to acknowledge that she herself must disgorge Mesopotamia. " With every week the prospects of the little nations of the near east for escape from the domination of Eu ropean imperialism grows steadily dimmer. by a great patriot who in the eyes of the world is the incarnation of victory". The declaration continued: "The execution of all clauses of the treaty of Versailles' will be law to us. We shall pursue it without violence or feebleness with unshak able firmness. It includes the close and cordial maintenance of the al liances which have saved the world. France's Service Noted. "Without our allies, those of the first as of the last hour, what trial would not be in store for us? What would have been the fate of our Hies if France had not served four long years as the cover to civiliza tion 7" The premier read the declaration in the chamber of deputies to a crowded house.
