' - ; Second That as England and France were - threatening Germany with direct consequence if Von de Golts were not recalled out of the Baltic provinces, the .allies obviously are not a party, to the coalition , AMERICA OUT OF MIXTJP Third That neither England . nor JPrance la In a position to Interfere, con sidering the strong military forces that would be there to combat the Russian German armies. Fourth That the - United States is cleary and definitely out of the affairs unless the "most extraordinary thing 'should ; happen, namely, : that congress tihould authorise the sending overseas immediately of not less than 100,000 nen. ,: I It was stated today positively that neither the state department nor the war -department would have the temerity to ask congress to send even one battalion to force von der Golts to act in accord Skinny Glimpses Heaven Sugar A-Plenty Is Tliere "Con, Skinny, it's sugar V , '"', ' ' "Gee, sugar t 1 0b boy, they're loading it on a truck l", . -;,; .

Men - and women Joined the procession. They fol lowed' the big truck . from , commission house to commission house. - r-"And they say theve IsntVny sugar V Immediately after the big truck had driven away from each door, members of the crowd went within - and demanded sugar.. . They 'were told politely there was no such thing as sugar, to be had in Portland. - ; '.-- Weary, the crowd saw the last sack unloaded from the truck. For the last time some of them tried to buy sugar from, the commission boose Into, which the last , sacks had disappeared; They were about ready for violence. 5 "NO. sugar," said the man .at ; the desk.: .',., -'- 1 ' "But we just saw-some brought In," they protested. "Wo Just' saw say, what are you laughing at?" -' - The man walked over to one of the sacks and opened it .. "Taster" be said. ., They tasted and learned the truth. The load of ."sugar" had been a load of salt! . .. - that therefore the United States would be left in the position of having signed the peace treaty but failing to respond If -the allies determined to make war on the Tudinek-Von : der Golts i army, whlchlt ia stated, has-already occupied Riga, has practically eliminated the re slstance of 4 the Letts and ' is ready to violate the neutrality of Esthonla and march through it under the pretense of Esthonla being the quickest route for a "general attack" on the Bolshevlkl to drive them back to Feta-ograd. f , ? ABMT FUILY EQUIPPED h , To military eyes here; the situation in the BalUo provinces and the whole of Western? Europe is' hopeless. Officers say the situation is this: That with or without the connivance of . the Berlin government Von der Golts has turned over bis troops, estimated to be 40,000 or 60,000, to the West Russian, command, which Is estimated at about 200,000, making a coalition - army of 850,000. - - , That the Von der Goltz army is fully equipped and is at Geynan war strength. That the Eastern Russian army being nearest to Germany is the best army of Russia and is equipped In all modern requirements. That it would require the immediate dispatch of 160.000 troops by the allies to cooperate witn probably an equal numbef'from Poland to- make any initial headway against the Russian-German army, and this would mean war on a gigantic scale. The first suc cesses against the Russo-Teuton army would not necessarily be the end : of tho present new war. GEKMA98 TOCOHTROLABLB: The United States has about 7000 troops at Coblens and probably 20,000 ance with, the terms of the armistice and scattered here and there In non-military units throughout France. The navy has a few ships In the English channel and Mediterranean but they would be use Ices, and, ' besides, in a conflict of this kind, congress ; would Interfere against such "American cooperation, y J . - It is admitted In Berlin that the Ger man government is unable - to stop the flow of German soldiers from the south into the Baltic region. Therefore it is pointed out, it needs no -argument to show that the allies must demand that Germany subdue Von der Golts and the RnsBlan army or the allies must under take It as they have undertaken to pre serve the peace of Europe, -and threi nations have now signed the peace treaty England, France and Italy. , v Recent, army estimates show the amount of military food on which the new military combination 'could continue to exist tOMO HELD Hr RESERVE 1 At the time Germany was easting about for reserves 'the staff here figured that there were enough Germans and German descendants in the Baltic prov inces to give Germany 600,000 reserves. : The sum total In sight . therefore, would be 60,000 Germans already tinder arms and 200,000 Russians, plus the esti mated reserves of probably 600.008 Ger mans In the Baltic provinces. Summed up, the staff officers say the problem, if it be as it appears today, is. that there is now working a plan by which Germany will be the dominat ing diplomatic force --at least in any Russia of the future. It was observed br one of the officers that it vas rather interesting to note that when the allies ordered Von der Golts out of the Baltic provinces the peopTe of those provinces did not back up the peace conference demand.

BLOCKADE BY ALLIES IS BEGUN (OootiBOed yrora Pace One) I forms the supreme council that the evacuation is progressing normally. VOW DER GOLTZ BLAMED The allies Inquire why Von der Golts hag not yet been-punished If it is true, as the Geraahs assert, that ho is guilty of Insubordination. , "It ts difficult not to believe,' says the allied note, that the delay (In evacua tion X, has been calculated, to lead to the very results which the German govern ment: now affects to deplore. It seems, indeed, impossible otherwise to explain the refusal to recall Von der Goltz, who has been their (the Germans') official In strument in creating the present situa tion in open defiance of the allied and as sociated powers." r SUBTERFUGE IS SEE- The allied" note i asks why Von der Golts, after being summoned to Berlin only recently, "was sent back deliber ately: to the scene of his atrocities, ex cept to complete the organization which now affords the German government the pretext that the troops hitherto paid, clothed ' and transported by them have passed ot of their control." The allies assert that unless Germany offers a more satisfactory explanation the allies cannot accept the contention that Germany has tried continually to with draw her troops from the. Baltic. SITUATION IS GRATE "According to recent Information. it is stated, "the situation suddenly has be come more grave on account of the of fensive taken by the Germans October 8. Other troops have" violated the Courland and Lettish neutral sons and have bom barded Lettish posttlona by armored trains.' airplanes and poison gaa shells. They- nave threatened Riga and brought about the i formation in Courland of a German-Russian government opposed to the local government already estab lished."' The note concludes with the assertion that Germany will be held responsible for any act of hostility by German troops di rected against allied representatives, in the Baltic provinces. BALTIC FIGHTING CNTINIJES; j LETTS MAINTAIN DEFENSES London,! Oct " 1J(UV P.) Fighting continues In the Baltic region, with the Lettish troops maintaining their defense against the Germans, according to the latest reports received here. , A dliT" to the Daily Chronicle from Its correspondent in Riga declares that on Saturday, 2000 Letts, under Colonel Berkais, were still holding the city against heavy German attacks. Remain ing in Riga to cover- the evacuation of the government. 6000 troops and a small rear guard decided to stay and fight to their death Instead of simply delaying the Germans as they had been ordered to do. , . : '. . ' v Colonel ' Bermond, commanding the Russian forces which cooperated with General von der Goltz's German troops in their attacks on 'the Letts, has sug gested armistice negotiations be held at Mitau in order to avoid farther bloed shed. He also proposed the Letts join his forces In a campaign against the Bolshevik. The Letts rejected his offer. BOMBARDMENT COKTUTUES i ; Heavy bombardment of Riga , by the German-Russian - forces continued all day Friday and Saturday morslng. ; Air planes dropped many bombs on the city. The shelling Friday, forced k French and British destroyer to withdraw from the port. Heavy shells wrecked much of the masonry in the region near th rail way, which is virtually in ruins. In resisting the enemy's attempts to cross the river the Letts dismantled the railway bridge,' obstructed the footbridge - and heavily guarded the fords.- Until Thursday, ail the prisoners captured were Bavarians. A dispatch from Stockholm quotes an Esthonian communique as saying that the Lettish government .has abandoned Riga: and is located now at Rodenpois. The Lettish troops blew up the bridges, the eo anuniqns states, when . they crossed the Dwina river. Arr.iored trains replied to the German bombardment." ; Bolshevik! Lose Town London Oct- 13.
