President Wilson Prepare* to Leave for Europe to Take Part in the Peace Conference—Ukrainian Government Overthrown

by Anti-BolahevicU.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD. The triumphant inarch to the Rhine by the armies of the allies ha* been going on atcadily all week. At last these br.-.ve troop* move forward really “with hands playing and banner* flying/ and ns they pass through the cities, town* and hamlet* of noithern France and Belgium the people of those place*, released from year* of barbarous slavery to the Huns, give them hysterical welcome. From boles where they had been hidden since the summer of 1914 their national flag* are brought forth to decorate the buildings and streets and the rulp* left by the invaders, and everywhere homemade specimen* of the Stars nnd Stripes fly with the other banner*. The wild Joy of the Inhabitants Is pathetic In the extreme, aed especially In Alsace -and Lorraine, which Is occupied by the Third American army together with the French under General Mangle. Those “lost provinces." now regained, have ever remained loyal at beait to France' and they welcomed the Follus and the doughboys

with open aras.

For Lorraine the gnat demonstration to** place It. Mels, which wa* entered by Mungin's army on Tuesday. That general was Injured the day before when hi* horse fell, but Marshal retain was there and, standing before the statue of Marshal Ney in the main square, reviewed the troops. The inhabitants had overturned the German statue* In the city and made the place gay with the allied flags and with their own national costume*. Similar scenes were witnessed In Strassbr.rg and other cltle* of Alsace. Near the Swiss border the French troop* .And

j rescued the Rhine.

The American army of occupation.

I cornu-baded by •General Dickman. and about 230.000 strong, marched aero** ; the old German frontier Into tor- | mine and swung t- the northward ! Into Luxemburg, the marine* on It* right passing into Belgium. In the } grand duchy no Irss than elsewhere the Yankees were enthusiastically ; greeted. Their advance was made sii ways with due caution, however, and | the task of inovlug so large an army forward steadily and keeping up Its supplies and communications was

performed In perfect manner. Meanwhile the British and Belgian

' armies of occupation were keeping

the retiring Germans.

At sea the surrender of *ihe Germans was signallred last week by the turning over to the allies of the German high sens fleet and many submarines. These vessels were -met by British warships and escorted to port, the submarines to Harwich and the battleships nnd cruisers to the Firth Forth. The Buna, who hove never shown good faith except under compulsion. were watched with utmost care. They were sullen and chagrined but attempted no treachery'. The vessels they surrepdered wire dirty and stripped of nonessentiais but otherIse were In working condition.

Conditions In Germany still are chaotic and Premier Ebert Is not hav-

wny by any means. He

derided that there should be a constituent assembly as soon as the franchise lists could be made out, but the soldiers’ and workmen's council at Berlin declined this, demanding Instead the summoning of a general soldiers’ and workmen's congress “in order to nr.-.ke a derision as to the fufure of Germany." The extremists are In the great majority there and their stnngth Is reported to be growing In many other German cities. The Socialist government Is striving In various ways to bring to bear Influences that may mitigate the rigors of the armistice and peace terms. Appeals for food continue to come, f both Genunay nnd Austria. “If stomachs are full we will behave much better." cry the Hun*. As a matter .of fact, ihlpioads of food for hungry Europe already have been dispatched nnd the Germans are making ngrecmeut* by which they will be able obtain fo sd from Denmark, Argentina and other countries. What the United Slates ciwi spare probably will not go to them, but to more deserving suf-fere.-s. and even to Russia. Constd-Table stir was caused by the rumor thnt the .aimer kaiser Intends to return to Germany because hls presence In Holland was embarrassing the q.ieen and government of the Dutch. Wiihelmina weathered the crisl* aed the radical Dutch abandoned their attempt to force her to abdicate, but doubtl -ss sbe would to glad to get rid of William Hobenxollern. Germany might peimit :.im to ri urn. though the danger of hi* becoming the center of a n jrtlonnry movement I* recognized. However. It I* to to hoped the peace treaty will aettle the future of the deposed ruler so that he need never a gain to considered. Charles of Austria is In totter state than William. for. though he I* said to to In poverty In Vienna, neither hls jfwjrfe nor the allies have any serious charges

to make against him.

President Wilson has . nded the doubt a* to hls going to Europe by announrins that lie will attend the opening of the peace conference, though be probably will not remain to preside over Its session* or take port In them.

Every one of us know* that the latter, yrhatever their status or their politics, supported tlidr government as long as It appeared to to winning, gloatingly approved nil the crimes and outrages committed, and repudiated the leaders of the criminal conspiracy only when their failure was assured and .It became necessary for them to look for some way of crawling out from under the wreckWhy. then, should the president of the United Slates or any other representative of the powers that defeated Germany, feel it necessary to make a sp-clal plea for a square deal for the vanquished? Paraphrasing the old saying, what we demand for Uie Germans is plain Justice, and d—d little of that.

Mr. Wilson is said to to especially concerned In the problem of establishing a stable government In Russia, and there Is reason for hls concern. That distracted country has bobbed up again In the news columns and the situation there is. If possible, more complicated than ever. The new rJI-ltus-sluu government that was established at Omsk and recognized by most of the nntl-tolsbevlk elements Is now In control of Admiral Alexander Kolchak. The council of ministers executed a coup d’etat end made Kolchak the virtual dictator and commander of the all-Russiaa army and navy. .He Is called “supreme governor." Severn! optMwing ministers were Imprisoned. What the course of .he commissioners ot the allied governments will be It net known. Along the Dvina the tolshevlkl ettncked the allied forces and were repulsed with heavy losses. Since then they have contented themselves wlr shelling the Russo-allied pusltioa.from the gunboats, with which they are totter supplied than their adver-

saries.

An event that wa* very grattfyins to Waahlrigton and the entente enp ItaU was the overthrow of the Ukrainian government and the capture Kiev by anti-bolshevik troops from Astrakhan under General Denlklne. Till* opens the way for the allies directly Into the heart of Russia. While they were being ousted at borne, the Ukrainians were engaged In continuous flghtius with the Poles in Ualirin. where they had taken Lemberg, nnd In BtUfOwiua. where they held Czcrno witz. There, ns in the Ukraine, the Ukrainian* were helped by German

oflteern.

No news has come from rest era Siberia, nor i* much to be expected, since Its dissemination Is under Itrr control of the Japanese. The recent lifting of the censorship does noi seem to apply to Hint region.
