British Government Leading Topic in London Newspapers London, Jan.17.\u2014What |s gen- orally described as the striking difference in the tone of the Government's Russian news lesued in London from news on the same subject in Paris is a leading topic among politicians and the newspapers.The Manchester Guardian con- sliders that the London announce ments are an attempt by Winston Spencer Churchiit (Minister of War) to justify his policy of war aguinst the Bolsheviki.\u201cFor some days past the War Office issue of what the Americans call \u2018scare matter\u2019 to the English press has really passed the limits of & respectable personal advertisement for any ministry,\u201d the newspaper says.\"We suspect the real object is to rehabilitate Mr.Churchill, who has lost ground since he wasted 100,000,000 pounds of our money In stimulating Bolshevism by making the olshevik the party of Russian resistance to foreign invasion.\"If we keep up à state of war against Russia we will make every possession and interest of ours in Europe and Asia or anywhere else a mark for Russian attack as soon as they can get it within range.\u201cIt we do what we ought to have & done last year and decline to bribe or ginger-up either faction in tho Russian civil war the reason fos Russian concentration on an anti- British enterprise in Asia will be gone.\u201d The Westminister Gazette asserts the Russian developments are & result of the different policies held by Premier Lloyd George and Mr.Churchill.\u201cThe news this morning,\u201d says the paper, \u201cis that the policy we have always believed to be that of the Prime Minister is to be tricd\u201d The Westminister Gazette be: lieves the War Oftice\u2019s account of the European and Asiatic peril was a last attempt to stampede the public and alter, if possible, the decision known to be impending in Paris.The Observer denounces \u201cthe alarmist sensationalism of English official and semi-official commun ques on the subject of Bolshevism, and adds: \u201cBolshevism cannot be extinguished by force alone.All of Europe and Asia too would again be involved sooner or later.Foriunately there has Leen a cold douche of common sense {rom Paris for the announcement of the restoration of commercial exchange is an announcement in effect that the Allles are willing to give every chance to the possibilities of llussian peace which is absolutely indispensable to general peace.\u201d The Bunday Times in an editorial says: \u201cThe Supreme Council has arrived at the wisest decision.Urged by panic to rattle the sabre, they preferred to extend the vlive branch instead of the sword and convince the Russian people that it is the earnest wish of the Allied nations that they resume peace in the human family elrele.\u2019 Announcement was made tonight that Suprema Council's letter to the Dutch Government in which it demands the extradition of the former German Emperor will be published Monday REVOLUTIONARIES 3N CONTROL OF IRKUTSK Peking, Thursday, January 16\u2014 By the Associated Press).\u2014An undated dispatch from Verkhnie-Ud- insk, across Lake Baikal, from Irkutsk, says that the social revolutionaries are completely in control of Irkutsk and \u2018the fighting has stopped.The armored trains of General Bemenoff have retired to Lake Baikal.Ernest L.Harrise, the United States Consul-General at the seat of the All-Russian Government, was on the way to Chita, 400 miles east of Irkutsk, with his staft.Fighting 1s proceeding in the strests of Irkutsk, says a Moscow wireless report received hers, FRANCE ELECTS PAUL DESGHANEL Returned President of Republic By the Largest Majority Since Fall of Empire Versailles, Jan.17\u2014(By The Assoclated Press)\u2014Paul Deschanel was elected President of the French Republic today by 754 votes of the 889 members of the National Assembly voting.His majority was the largest since the election of Lowis Adolphe Thiers, the first President after the fall of the Empire, who was chosen unanimously.The result was certain since the caucus of yesterday at which M.Deschanel was chosen the candidate of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, comprising all the various parties.The election took on, besides a holiday character, an atmosphere of a patriotic manifestation.The feeling among the Semators and Deputies was that after the retirement of Premier Clemenceau from the contest, to whom the Parliament was disposed to give evidence of the nation\u2019s gratitude, it was fitting that the new President should come into power with a vote that would give him the necessary authority to speak impressively for France.The general sentiment is that while M.Deschanel has not won the presidency by such outstanding services as those rendered by Premier Clemenceau, he is a man admirably adapted for the position which requires careful tact and is above all a safe man.The proceedings as provided by the Constitution were formal, giving little occasion for enthusiasm.When the vote was announced, however, the members of Parliament on the floor and the visitors in the galleries joined In a great outburst of acclamation, while former Premier Briand, who is generally credited with à large share in the election of M.Deschanel, declared to a group of friends: \u201cFrance and the Republic continue.\u201d Madame Deschanel and her children witnessed the demonstration from the gallery and returned to Paris with the President-clecet in a motor car.On the rturn M.Deschanel was followed Ly a long cortege of parliamentarians.The procession was watched by thousands along the route through the park of st.Cloud and the Bois De Boulogne, who cheered each car, crying: \u201cLong live Deschanel,\u201d and Long live the Republic.\u201d LIBERAL WHIP ROBB ATTACKS GOVERNMENT States That Canada Has Policies and Platforms World Without End.Montreal, Que.,\u201d Jan.A.Robb, Chief Liberal Whip, and ALP, for Huntingdon, at a dinner siven in his honor at the Montreal Reform Club on Saturday night save it as his opinion that the only thing of which Canadians had a real surplus was political policies

Government, Mr.Robb admitted that there were in the Government men of marked ability, but he claimed they could do little, being surrounded \u201cby colleagues devoted to organising groups euch demanding that they should be greater among men.\u201d Discussing the choice of the new Liberal Leader, Hon, W.L Mac- Kensie-King, Mr.Rubb mid this had been à unanimous choice of Senators, Members and representatives of the party from all over the Dominion without a dissenting voice.it was announced at the meeting that Mr.King would attend a luncheon of the Reform Club here tomorrow when he would

CO-OPERATION Was General Criticism Made \u2014Contained More Than Seven Thousand Words Washington, D.C., Jan.17.\u2014In- vestigation by a Senate sub-com- mittee of award of naval war decorations took a new angle today when Rear-Admiral Willlam H.Bims, the only witness heard so far, laid before the committee à long letter entitled \u2018certain naval lessons of the great war\u201d written by him to Secretary Daniels, arraigning many aspects of the Navy Department's conduct of the war.Lack of full co-operation with the commander of American naval forces overseas, the post filled by Admiral Sims throughout the war, was the general criticlam made, but the letter contained also a statement that just before he left London, Admiral Sims was told \u201cnot to let the British pull the wool over your eyes.\u201d and \u201cthat the United States would as soon fight the British as the Germans.\u201d \u2018Who Issued these instructions was not brought out during the hearing but Admiral 8ims sald afterwards the statement had been made to him by \"a high official\u201d.Introduction of the letter prompted chairman Hale, Republican, of Maine, to announce that he would ask the full naval committee Monday to authorize his sub-committees to make a wider inquiry or to appoint another sub-committee to investigate the conduct of the war by the Navy Department.In a state- nient relative to Admiral Sim's letter, Becretary Daniels said he had referred it to the General Board \u201cwith directions to give considern- tion td it and to all uther communications directed to the Department concerning \u2018the lessons of the war.\u201d The letter gives this statement regarding his instructions: \u201cBrief orders were delivered to me verbally in Washington.No formal instructions or statement of the Navy Department's plan or policy were received at that time, though I received the following explicit admonition: \u2018Don\u2019t let the British pull the wool over your eyes.It is none of our business pulling their chestnut out of the fire.We would as soon Gght the British as the Germans'.\" The letter contained more than 7,000 words and was written Jany.7.Admiral 8ims read it today at the request of Chairman Hale.It review Admiral Sims\u2019 experiences and said that at the time he left for Europe he had no idea that he was to command United States naval forces abroad In event of war, then impending.As soon as he arrived in London, the letter said.Admiral Sims realized that the Navy Department did not comprehend the seriousness of the submarine menace due to the inef- fAclent co-operation of the United States Intelligence Service.\u2018For some reason which has never been explained,\u201d Admiral Bims wrote, \u201cthe Navy Department during at least the first six months of the war failed to put into actual practice a whole-hearted policy of co-opera- tion with the Allies\u2014a policy required for winning the war with the feast possible delay.\" \u201d The letter charged that not until July 1917 did the NaW Department outline 8 policy of naval co-opera- tion with the Allies, \u201cAs usual in such cases.\u201d it continued, \u201cthe policy was academically round, but that it was not carried out or was not understood by the Department is shown by the fact that for ten months after its receipt It was urgently recommgnding an increase of forces\u2014still trying to convince the Department that the war was in the Eastern Atlantic: that the United States naval \u2018front\u2019 was off the European coast and not off the United States coast.\u201d Admiral 8ims' letter declared that he was much embarrassed in his relations with other Allled commanders by reason of the fact that although after an Allled naval con- terence it was recommended on July 21.1917, that four coal burning American battleships be sent to guard the English Channel against German cruiser raids, there was long delay before the request was even acknowledged and finally it was refused.In the following November, the letter says, the Chief of Naval Operations arrived in Kurope with Colonel House's Mission and immediately thereafter cabled instructions | to send the battleships.Too great a desire to protect the | const of the United States at the imminent risk of losing the war was manifested by the Navy Department, the letter declared.Enticing of German submarines to the coast of the United States would have been greatly to the advantage of the Aliled cause even though American shipping suffered more heav- lly thereby, Admiral Sims said he told the Department, urging that every vessel capable of steaming across the ocean be sent to the war sons.Risk of publie condemnation of such a course based on inaccurate 500,000 BLAZE OUT IN CALGARY Two Men Dead, and Seven Injured\u2014Many Stores Are Destroyed Calgary, Alta, Jan.18\u2014In one of| the worst fires In the history of Calgary, two men, Chris McBride, of Youngs town, and Thomas Huckvale, of Gleichen were smothered fo death, seven firemen were Injured or overcome by smoke, and property damage done to the extent of nearly $300,000 in a blaze which destroyed the Empire Hotel, the Grand Central Hotel and several small stores adjoining, early Bunday morning.The two men who were suffocated were playing carde in & small room in the basement of the hotel.They were warned of the fire, but did not take it seriously and continued their ga to the end.\u2018They were caught in trap and unable to make th escape.The other guests of the hotels, to the number of about 100, made their escape with the assistance of the night clerks and the firemen.The firemen fought the blaze handicapped by bitter cold and only succeeded in smothering it a few minutes before a sixty mile blizzard came up.\u2018The guests, many of them women and children, were taken from the rooms only in their night clothes, some of them having narrowly escaped.The seven injured firemen include Chief Bmart.But none of them are ssriously injured and most of them were on duty again late this evening.Individual! losses were: Empire and Grand Central hotels, owned by W.J.Btokes, $250,000: Carmichael Drug Store, $5,000; Rapporte Jewolry Store, $4,000: M.Ghetter, sec- ond-hand store, $10.000; Murchison Bros., real estate $12,000, and J.Reid, confectionery, $1,500.BRITISH FREIGHTER REPORTED SINKING Left New

DICTATOR OF THE UKRAINE \u201c General Petlura is Command- er-in-Chief of Ukrainian Directorate Armies.London, Jan.16\u2014Onv of the most froquently heard of yet least known personalities of contemporary Russla is Gen.Petiura, Commander-inchief of the a.iies of the Ukrainian Directorate, the provisional government of the independent republic of the Urkaine.The Ukralne itselt, Although a oeuntry the size of France aad Italy taken together, with the population of the latter, is veritable terra incognita of Europe.Yet, among other things, it should be noted that one of the primary reasons for the German collapse in the war was the fatiure of the Prussian command to replenish the wheat stores of the Ukraine, the richest part of the former empire of the «ar.This fatlure was due to the desperate resistance of tha Ukrainlan peasantry to the Teutonic conqueror.In the general rising that, follow- Ing the armistice of November 11, 1918, had rid the Ukraine of the German overlords.the leading pact was ussumed by Gen.P'etlura, who has since becoine the legendary hero of his people and country.The Paris mewspaper \u201cEclair\u201d publishes the following sketch of the Ukrainian g-neralissiine: \u201cPetlura wus born in 1379, in the\u2018 heart of that Ukraine to whose cauxe | he vowed his life, \u201cSun of a poor family of Ukraintan Cossacks, Petlura entered life at & time when the czarlatic regime reached the climax of despotism and corruption.Ilis extraordinary intellectual gifis opened for him the gates of the academy of Theologytherefore closed to Ukrainian\u2018 peasant offspring.But, animated by a burning love for his unfortunate country, Petlura organized a group of students for the propagation of Ukrainian literature and popular songs.He was expelled and refused admission to any other school in the Russian empire.\u201cFrom this moment dates his desperate strugle against the Russian tyranny \u2014 a perilous task that made him a wanderer and an outlaw He went to live in the Caucasus, in the Ukrainian country of the Kuban Cossacks, and worked there in behalt of the co-operative movement.Later he came to Moscow, entered journalism and became editor-in-chiet of the Ukrainian review there.\u201cWhen this publication was suppressed at the beginning of the war, Petiura devoted himself to the services of the League of Zemstova {provincial assemblies), which concentrated all its activities on assisting in the conduct of the war.He soon forged his way tu the foremost rank.After the revolution of March, 1917, Petlura was elected chairman of the Committee on Military Orgrnizatfon of the Congress of 8ol- diers\u2019 Councils, 1 \u201cHis principal endeavor now wa: to concentrate in the Ukraine ail aol- diers of Ukrainian origin.in order tn defend the country against Teutonie invasion.In the course ot events he decided to form a firgt pro.vislonal government of the Ukraine.\u201cFut he met with resistance in Petrograd: Kerensky, the Saciilists and the heugeois reactionaries op- pored his plans.1t was at this Juneture that Rolsheviam gained font.hold in Great Lussia.In vain Petlura plead?thai the defense of the Ukraine should be intrusted ta!
