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.

The only Americans now remaining

Colonel Morrow s regiment. Their ar

worse.
LONTX5N, Jan. 22. A Peking dis

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.

existence of a conspiracy to foment

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.

The author of the statement said
he asked if Carranza knew of this

An Incidental connection of Japan

dicated In the statement.
"Pablo Nago," the assumed name
of a Japanese, was used as a go

cording to the document, seven or
eight Japanese officers were partici

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

The alleged relatlonshin of General

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.

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.

PULLMAN, Wash, Jan. 22. (Spe

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.

Much of the traffic- that is destined

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. "

able firmness. It includes the close
and cordial maintenance of the al
