The correspondent of The Son aJid Nkw Vork Herald ha talked to many officials recently who are watching the popular pulse, and found no signs of fear on their part. \We are not afraid,\ said a member of the Government, \because 90 per cent, of the French workmen are at least as conservative as the French poaaants with the same desire prop, erty and protect it from confiscation.

WRANGEL BLAMES DENIKINE FOR WOES Says Incompetence of Com- mander Caused Loss of Anti-Sovi- Troops. By the Associated Press. Washington, Aug. K The Russian volunteer nrmy commanded by Gen. Denlklne collapsed because of the fail- ure of lis commandir to take adequate military precautions, according to charges contained In a letter written to Denlklne by Gen. Biron Peter Wrangel, now recognized by France as foremost leader In Hussla. A copf of the letter reached official circles here y makes public tor all can are and the first time the inside story of the brenk between Wrangel and Denl klne. It throws light also on the vol- unteer fo.-ce- s that marched to the very gates of Moscow, only to be burled back and scattered beyond reorganization. It tells of the restruction of Admiral Kol- - Ohaa a forces and charges that Denl-kin- e failed to heed warnings that might have prevented that disaster. t Written upon the occasion of Gen. Wrsngel'a retirement from Russia in April at the reriuost of Denlklne, the letter said In part: \Having tasted power, poisoned by ambition and surrounded by dishonest hangers-on- , tAS struggle so brilliantly started by you and so unworthily lost is coming to an end. Into It have been thrown hundreds of thousands of Rus- sia's best sons Innocent of your mis- takes.

The challenge to the Bolshevist regime of Russia con- tained In the note Addressed by Sec- retary of State Colby to the Italian has been accepted by the Rus- - i slan Bed 4ovcrnment. Having promised to uao every \available means ' to protect t'oiand, tne United states Is now en- deavoring to decide upon the definite policy which will enable It to make good on its promise. Draetlc step.s arc under considrntion. Information which continues to come to Washington bears out tjie suspicion. entertained when the Colbv note wair written, that the Bolshevikl have not the slightest Intention of yielding one Inch to the representation of the allied Governments or of the United States, and that Poland Is to he prostrated. The Colby note, regarded as a chal-- i nge to the Russians, and In a sense to tile British and Japanese policies, has hrought the Pnlted States face to face, with the determination of a new foreign policy, which must be carried out under the adverse circumstances of a time lim- it upon the life of the Administration. It Is also being accomplished In face of a Congress that woulJ probably regard with suspicion any additional foreign policies inaugurated by the authors of the futile League of Nations covenant. Pp to this time the Washington Gov ernment has clearly h,een groping for Its actual course, following Its straightfor- ward declaration of a general 'policy. The Administration is understood to have been considerably irritated over the British attitude toward rfhe League of Nations, and It Is believed here that Lloyd George Is being placed In a posi- tion where It will be necessary for him to resist Bo.shevist Influence to the utter- most or openly surrender to It. In this connection It lc also under- stood that the attitude of the United Stales In opposition to Japan's occupancy of Russian territory In Siberia Is likely to receive the support nf the British Do- minions, which a4'e having their own Jlapanoflt \scare.\ The closest scrutiny Is being given here to Information collected by the vari- ous Intelligence agencies of the \world relative to Russian conditions, nnd the possibility of American support of the Government of Gen. Baron Wrangel con- tinues to be discussed. The policy now under consideration, It Is understood, Is to treat the Wrangel Government much as that of Admiral Kolchak waa treated. That treatment was one of active en- couragement, and aa applied to Gen. Wrangel would amount to practical but not official recognition by the United Statea. Considerable Interest attaches here to the report that Genernla Kuiopatkln and BruslteM are furnishing the brains for the Bolshevist army. The suspicion exists that these two officers, former monarchists, are planning to build them- selves up as a result of a successfully wnged war. preliminary to turning upon ihe Bolshevist regime at Moscow The possibility that the Russian revolution may produce a military geniun who might win control of the situation as Napoleon did after the French Revolu- tion Is glvinn concern, and tt Is for that reason that special attention Is being siven to the history of the career of Gen Wrangel, and of his character and points of view.

Copyright, lltO, by Tnr Si n and NlW Yoiik HraAiD. Bisi.in, Aug. 14 (delayed). The welding together of the greater part of the unofficial German defence organiza tion Is now learned to be an accom- plished fact and the German press Is un- able to agree whether the nation has to deal with a threat of a new Kapp Insur- rection or whether the zeal of a single Bavarian forestry official has accom- plished an imposing but politically Im- portant centralization. This Bavarian Is Herr von Eschcrlch, founder of the Orgeach league, which, working secretly, has laid lines which reach into all parts o Germany. Its aupposeo aim Is to be a defence against Bolshevism, but Herr von Esch- crlch declares that he has the one weapon which now can save Germany, for, he declares, \the Relchswehr la dev- astated and the Government la weak.\ What brought Heir von Escherlch Into prominence is the allegation that his organization stood In Intimate rela- tionship with the reactionary spy head- quarters exppsed at Magdeburg this week.

Herr von Escherich, unabaahed by these revelations, gave vent to am almost hysterical fanfare yesterday, when he proclaimed that his organization was the only one which could carry on the fight against Bolshevism. He boasted that Germany had remained quiet during the last several months only because of his men. tnis declaration was regarded as significant, although the activities of his organization cannot be estimated, since It is not known how many men are filled with the Orgesoh League. How- ever, it Is kn)wn that he brought large groups of well armed and experienced fighters under one banner, and it is more than likely that his Is the prin- cipal organization of the Conservative and the middle parties In the conflict they expect with labor before snow flies.

The correspondent of Thb Si'N and New YonK Hkrald, Is Informed that the climax may come on Thursday, when an Important meeting of employers of elec- trical workers meets In Iondon deter- mined to resist tho demand of the unions that foremen be always from the union ranks. These emplojers threaten a lock- out If tho demands are preaaod, a lock- out which would practically tie up every wheel In British Industry, thus forcing the 'Issue on all three points referred to.

Third-rT- hat the miners decide the ratio of distribution of the profit of the mines between their own wages and prices to tho consumer. Thus three principles of communistic government or rather \the dictatorship of the proletariat\ are Involved In the coming issues direct control of Inter- national action by labor; dlreot control of discipline and organization of workers and direct control of tho division of profits In Industry. Labor's Growing In estimating In America the import- ance of these movements It Is Important to remember thaf practically all British labor is organised, that there is hardly an open shop in the islands, and that labor for years has been organized aa a political party with Its own representa- tives In the House of Commons. Only this week William C. Adamson. Labor spokesman in the House of Commons, demanded the right to reply first after the Premier as the head of \the opposi- tion,\ seeking to displace Herbert H. Asqulth. , Lloyd George also has again and again denounce! labor aa the chief op- position to the present Government, the chief reason for the continuance of the coalition, and an excellent reason why all other partisans, Includ- ing Mr. Asqulth, should come into the fold. While these conditions give labor a prima facie dornlnant position, the rail- way strike proved that even six and a half million men cannot run a country of forty-fiv- e million, and when there comos a clash with that larger public opinion, labor's strength crumbles. The very largeness of the labor movement here has msde it less cohesive than the relatively smaller, more closely knit or- - ganlsatlon n ths United States W,.ch has hitherto confined Its efforts to and economic, rather than politi.j,! lleldS.
