Walking to a map of ltussln hanging

thence south to Orenburg, Inlong the
Orenburg-Tashkent railroad
This does not mean that there arc
lines of trenches, only that tho cities
and towni along this lino are held by
friendly troops.
Reports of n general movement of
Bolshevist and flermnn prisoner troops
toward Samara Junction arc confirmed.
In tho evacuation of tho tdwn the enemy
object was to iaiMi the Czechs and Jtu

It Is because Vladivostok N tho en

Russia, that the Central Powers re
ported request for an armistice affects
the situation here Uetnly, Knowing
what Is happening In tho Interior of
Russia through the Oerman-Holslie k
combination, knowli-K that the Czechs
hae cacuated the Kamura bridgehead,
which connected Hlbeila and Russi
proper, learning from travelers who
succeeded In eiosslrg tho country that
German propagandists have made all
Russians bellee that fiermany occupies

sees through German's backdoor tho
reasons for tho requested nrmlstlco In

Germany Is more anxious man ever
to make peaco now with the western
powers She could even afford to prom

Jled commanders hero received pathetlo
appeals from Czech headquarters nBklng
h maximum of a hundred Americans,
British or French to maintain the morale
at what Is called the front along the
Volga, The French nnd British w;ro
able to send only the smallest forces,
but they arrived too lato to save Sa
mara. The Americans were unablo to
comply with the Czechs' request.
In connection with the military situa
tion on the Volga and Allied-American
policy, thcro arc two things which a
new arrival encounters Immediately. I
have talked with Americans, British,
French,' Russians, nnd Czechs. Among
only a limited clrclo Is thcro a belief
that an effective Russian front can be
reconstructed. Secdnd, while the Al
lies aro united In principle ns to poli
cies here, tlny are not united as to
method or means
These two points nro very" strong to
an American arriving from tho United
States, where many bcllec that with
tho nucleus here It is only n question
of a Bhort time, iwssibly until spring.
when tho Russian front against Ger
many might bo reconstructed Those
who believe this do not understand the
tremendous hnndlcnps here, while others
who know the situation Jielleve that
America, with unlimited lesources,
could bear the chief burden and succeed.
Without attempting to Judge after so
short a time here, I can report a diversi
ty of opinions. SU months ago there
was opportunity to establish somo kind
of effective front, It was believed to be
necessary In order to compel tho Ger
nanB to weaken the western front. To
Iday, with tho collapse of Bulgaria nnd
tho Allied advance In France, the Cen
tral Powers request an armistice. Mili
tary men don't believe It Is necessary
to re-establish a fighting front.
Politically, ' they believe the Allies
should Intervene for moral and political
reasons, but whenever the question of
Intervention Is discussed, all realize tho
handicaps, IncIuTIIng the frightful rail
road service, the poor telegraph com
munication, the lack of supplies, men
and equipment, tho most important
being the fact that tho Allies cannot
aelxa or 'operate the railroads or
telegraph without Interfering with Rus
sian Internal irffalrs.
There is not only one central gov
ernment, but there are hundreds of local
governments working Jealously, In-

dependently. Before General Graves or
General Knox can send soldiers away,
they must begin negotiations for
transportation days or weeks In ad
Mince, liven then they aro not sure of
the facilities. Vladivostok Is a harbor
of disorder, a haven of discontent, with
every one pulling at cross purposes,
which Is extremely unfortunate because
the Allies nil have tho same object help
ing Russia. What Is lacking hero 1
what the Allies lacked In France last
March, unity of-comniand nnd unity of
policy. ,
However, I don't wish to give tho Im
pression that this Is a hopeless situation
or that the Allies cannot work together.
As an Indication of what can be accom
plished In n short time witness the
telegraph censorship which was made
effecthe yesterday for lho first time by
Japanese and Americans; witness the
Allied guards In various parts of the
city, where Japanese, Urltlsh, American
and Czech troops stand side by side;
witness the plans now under woy to
' stabllsh a malt censorship.
At present any one can send letters
to the Interior of Russia or abroad
through the Russian post ollice without
censorship, which Is dangcious In view
of the active German propaganda. With
strong traces here of even money pay
ments, the situation Is not only tilled
with danger, but the Allies have not yet
accomplished whnl they set out to do.
The assistance of the Czechs has been
very small. So far there Is no nu
cleus outside this city about which the
Russians might form.
Tho brightest spot Is Bulgaria's col
lapse, which should enable the Allies to
work Into Russia through the Black Sea,
later enabling them to move men nnd
supplies fiom litre to co-opernto with
that force. Another bright spot Is that
the Czechs now control the chief plati
num nnd coat mines, which Is of tre
nundous economic slgnlllcance.
Ono of tho dark spots Is that If the
cechs arc forced from the Volga, it
will permit tho Germans to get enoimotis
supplies of cotton from Tuikestan, but
tho darkest Is the fear that mi nnnlstlv
nnd peace now will be equivalent to turn-

Ttiere are four tilings the soldier
holds unpardonable four deadly
sins in the doughboy's moral code.
What are they? What would you
guess them to be?
Wine? Women? Cards? Cussing?
No, they are none of these.
What sins seem worst to you? What do you think
are the four most contemptible things a human being
can do?
Fred B. Smith, formerly a New York business man,
now a Y in France, has found out what sjns the
soldier despises most - in himself or in others.
He tells all about it in the November American
