6 RUSSIA OUT OF PATIENCE WITH YANKEE DELAY Fear That Soviets May Cut Railway and Isolate Omsk, Leaving Siberia Helpless By Associated Press Omsk, Russia, Jan. 14.; —After a trip of virtually 3,000 miles from Vladivostok the correspondent of the Associated Press arrived here on Fri day. days In under heated cars were spent In making the Journey, the temperaturo at times be ing 45 degrees below zero. West of Irkutsk the trans-Siberian railway has been improved, but east of that place it is seriously disorgan ized. Russian opinion is favorable to tlie management of the railway by John F. Stevens, head of the Ameri can Railway Commission to Russia, provided tho Russians are given gen eral control. Opinion expressed by people along tlie route was favorable to Allied In tervention against the Bolshevikl, but there were some bitter attacks made upon what was declared to be pro- 1 crastinatlon. The people said they ■wanted the United States to declare Its policy or to clear out of the country. Consideratble fear was ex pressed that Bolshevik bands might cut the railway, isolate Omsk and leave Siberia helpless and starving. Eevidence of poverty and general distress was witnessed at the major ity of the stations passed. There was little food for sale. The conviction was expressed by some of the people that the Americans would not desert the Russians in their struggle against the terrorists. There was much evi dence of sympathy with Bolshevik princpiles, but it was coupled with complete repudiation of Bolshevik terrorism. -SHowersi For AM Occasions Floral Decorations .
