The unex-
f Washington, Oct. 1 1
pected coalition of the German army
under General von do Golts In "the
.Baltic provinces with the., Russians
of -the, Western Russian provinces
tinder General Tudlnelc wa dis
cussed seriously today from- two
.standpoint by members , of . the
Unttad States general armyvstaff. 1
' These officers say" that the junction
and cooperation ef such elements mean:
First That the peace treaty did not
anticipate this new war and to that
extent the treaty telle in the essential
effect' of pacifying; Europe by "rough
and, ready plans.' ' - ;
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

' "Gee, sugar t 1 0b boy, they're loading
it on a truck l", . -;,; .
"A whole shipload r
We haven't been able to buy any for

Th' ol truck's leaving .the dock."," ,
"Gee. there must be tons of itl"
t"Come on, lefs follow along and get
some." ? :' .rf ;:-vf; f?' 3 ('"'& ;f'?
: Crowds of sugar-starved Portlanders
had assemble, by this time . behind, the
big : motor .truck, f Slowly it ; carried its
big load of heavy whit sacks away from
the river and toward the broad coffee
scented districts where the commission
bouses are.";' -v..
f "Con, Skinny run J like everything 1"
- They had to, to keep up. 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.

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." ;
