Optimistic statements regarding sub

officials here as typical of the misin

only j short distance from the place
where the first anthracite coal mine in
the world was opened shortly after the
discovery of anthracite coal at Summit

Switchback Railroad and run down to
the river by means of chutes and loaded
Into boats until after the Panther Creek
Vnlley Railroad was built The mine
vi as then abandoned hecause of the
proximity to the latter railroad of al

the Panther Creek Valley The coal
mined on Mount Plsgah Is of the very
best quality, and the new- firm Is making
arrangements .to carry on mining an
thracite on an extensive scale.
The Switchback Railroad, which for
many years has ceased to he a coai

In transporting coal from the mine at
Mount Plgsah to Mauch Chunk Because
it will be a pleasure and a coal-carrying

the Allied nations are bent solely upon

President Wilson is understood to
have staked much on this unparalleled

S. JSOW DEVELOPING
RUSSIAN RELIEF PLAN
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Staff, Correspondent Kxenvw I'ubtic Ledger
Washington, July 8.
In circles usually well informed today
it was said that details of the plans
with regard to RussU were being
worked out. It was nlso said on equally
good -authority that the Inter-Allied
Council was believed to have agreed
upon :. policy This policy Is safll
to Involve some use of allied military
forces In Runsla. it Is likely that
Mr Wilson will consent to the sending
of a moderate armed force to Russia.
Apparently what Is evolving is a com
promise, one oi a type wnicii imo
has made familiar; all allied action else
where than on the west front has been
of this type For the west front stand
the military For the east front stand
the Ipolitlclans Tho political argu
ment prevails, but never full? The
military yield grudgingly, pleading the
overwhelming need in the w-est And
Galllpoll results and Salonlca and Mes
opotamia diversions, which, If under
taken in sufficient forces, might have
won the war. hut which undertaken half
heartedly tied up the resources of the
Allies. Allied strategy has fallen be
tween two stools. It might win If all
the forces were concentrated in the
west It might have won. might per
haps still win, If sufficient attention had
been paid to the east. But it can win
In both the east and the west, and
there is no sign now- that this divl
slon of opinion which has brought dis
appointment out of everything that has
hitherto been done in the east, does
not still exist. What is to be done in
Russia is, therefore, likely to be the
sending up of a "ballon d'essai," rather
than a definite determination to bring
all the forces to bear upon Germany
that might be brought to bear from the
east.
Muftt Stop Foe In France
The reasons for this opinion lie in
known facts In the first place, there is
the west front, and military effect, like
charity, begins at home The first and
greatest neea is to stop tne upihihiih m
France, ana mat win engage an tne en
ergies of the Allies and this country and '
all their shipping for many months tos
come. No considerable military effort by I
this country or the Allies against Ger- I
many In the east is likely this jear So
much for the western resources of the ,
Allies. But how about their rnstern if
sources' Their great unused sources
ln Asia' Why not lei tue sait u .
the east' i , , ,
Against the use of Japanese and hi-
nese troops stand the known views of
President Wilson These views are not,
ia-.lv tn rh.inee. If circumstances altel
so that the force of Japan and China
can be brought to bear on Russia with
out impairing the Ideals which the Pres
ident feels are necessary to fight this
war, then the force of Japan and China
may be used.
No opinion of the Interallied -Council
Is capable pf changing this situation
This country does not alt In that coun
cil and Is not bound by its decisions
Mr. Wilson might be Influenced, strongly
Influenced, by Its views, but not gov
erned by them, and the council know
ing the President's mind is likely to
have tried to accommodate its recom
mendations to his Ideals rather to have
sought to Impose its opinions upon the
United States ,by the weight of its
authority, that Is to say the council Is
likely to have adopted a compromise to
which It believed Mr, Wilson would not
be averse rather than to have insisted
upon a radical policy which it had rea
son to believe would b disagreeable to
the President.
, 'onmllltary Action
Compromise therefore began at Ver
sailles If details are being worked out
here perhaps the plan is to be further
softened It may be taken for granted
that the President will not countenance
the use of alien force in Russia except
at the express invitation of Russia, her
self Such an act on his part would strip
all he says of democracy and the rights
of peoples to determine their fate of all
Its force.
Lines for Comproml
The lines on which a compromise
might be worked out are suggested bj
the questions, what force might be sent
without violating the freedom of Russia
to determine her own fate? And 'what
Is Russia, who may speak for her' Who
may deliver the tnvltatlon'
The sending of a small military force
with ait economic expedition into Rus
sia might be held not to be military
Intervention in any such sense as would

conflict with the 'dals which Mr Wll
n and. under his leadership, most nl
l'ed diplomats feel to be necessary to
the .Allies. The primary purpose of
such an expedition could not be mllltarv
It could not attempt conquest or hold
any part of Russia. It could not even
make viar on Germany, with whom !tu
sla Is at peace Its purposp could not
lie otherwise than benevolent In other
""rds it is possible to send a mllltarv
force without thereby effecting military
Intervention. Its puipose might be
'cinomlc or political
All Indications here are that the non
mllltary character of whatever mllltarv
action Is taken In Russia will be care
fully preserved That Is compromise of
the cleaiest sort The thing Is to be
military, satisfying our allies, and non
mllltary satisfying the conscience of the
American Government.

It is no- longer under the Government
that we think of as Russia that of Len
Ine and Trotzky The latest segment to
split off Is the legion of Murmansk The
Allied position there may he strength
ened without any qualms of conscience
Out of all this confusion will some
thing arise which Mr Wilson may be
sure Is Russia, and which will call to
him for aid ln a loud voice' Whatever
expedition may be sent to Russli will
he sent s-o that It may be near and hear
Russia, even that It may encourage Rus
sia to sneak
In other words, what is llkelv to be
done is likely to be done In hope rather
than in determination
To Invite Japan Into Russia, paying
the price whatever It might ne, would
be the act of a ruthless will to defeat
Germany and to use all nieanti available
to that end. To do that, says a certain
element of the Allies, including the Presi

to face moral bankruptcy, even though
It may prove that ln this way only can
the ultimate freedom of Russia be -e-
cvired To do nothing in Rusoa is to con

may. In the end, to the cause of de
mocracy, do much harm.
To do a little and hope much Is to
avoid each alternative with its moral
difficulties To do a little and hope
much has been the usual Allied policy.
To do a little and hope much is what is
to be expected now- i ins mucn is cer

MURMAN POPULATION
JOINS THE ENTENTE
Copenhagen, July 8.
The entire population of the Mur
man coast (on the Kola peninsula
bordering the White Sea and the
Arctic) has broken with Russia and
joined the Entente, according to a dis
patch from Vardoo. Norway, to the
Chrlstlania TIdens Tegn.
A supply of provisions from the
United States has arrived at Mur
mansk, the dispatch adds.
The people of the Murman coast re
cently appealed to the American and
Allied consuls at Kola for protection.
German troops are reported to the
southward on the railroad leading to
the Arctic at Kola, and the failure
ofthe Bolshevik government to resist
the penetration of the enemy has led
the Inhabitants to adopt measures of
defense
With American, British and French
naval forces guarding a large store of
war suppplles at Kola and along the
railroad, the Murman coast is one of
tho possible fields for operations by
the Allies In the east under the new
Allied policy toward Russia.
