WASHINGTON, June IS. The
American government is striving hard

nder a Russian-American leadership.
It ia teamed on reliable authority that
Russian leaders will not approve the

leadership.
Russia at present considers the
United States aa ita best friend and in
nany ways is depending on the United
tates for aid in the present chaotic
ondition in Russia.
The proposal receiving the greatest
lupport at present is to use troopship

P.uiaia. A vast force of Americans ia
onsidered as entirely unnecessary at
