KOLCIIACK'S GOVEttlMT RECOGNIZED BY coin Conditions Require That AntiBolshevik Party Call New Constituent Assembly f Reds in Desperate Effort MOSCOW THREATENED (By Associated Press) PARIS, May 26. The council of four of the peace conference has concltionally decided to recognize the ntl-Bolshevlk government of Admiral Kolchaek and General Delklne accord ing ta Reuters agency here. The conditions of the recognition re that regarding the future of Russia, these governments agree to conTone ana accept the verdict of a genuine constituent assembly. Esthonian forces are officially reported to have broken through the Fskov front west of Petrograd and to have captured 1,000 prisoners besides ft great Quantity of war material. Farther east the forces of Admiral Kolchak of the Omsk government are reported to be approaching Vlatka, It is expected that the Kolchak and northern Russian forces will soon unite and then attacks may be made on Petrograde and Moscow. Dispatches from the Murmansk front declare while it is believed the capture of Petrograd might be achieved at almost any time, there Is some reluctance on the part of the allies to take the city because of the Impossibility of feedllng the population until better lines of communication are opened. A8K WOMEN V0LUNTEER8 LONDON, May 26. While thero is no confirmation from other sources that Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevik premier, of Russia, has proposed an armistice to Admiral Kolchak, head of the all Russian government at Omsk, there are Indications that the BolshevIkl are anxious over the fate of Petrograd and Moscow. A wireless Russian dispatch states that the defense committee of Moscow is appealing for women voluteers for military service bt towns and - admits that non-Bol shevlk troops are fighting in the outskirts of Riga on the left bank of the Dvina. , - According to a dispatch from the Reuter correspondent with the allied forces in the Murmansk region, which reflects military views, there is no dougt entertained that Petrogvad can be taken but he says its capture would be useless, owing to the allies inability to feed the population as the Brit ish line or communications Is now 600 miles long, with a Blngle line of railways. The correspondent adds that Admiral Kolchak' s troops should be in Vlatka In six weeks and soon afterwards should be In touch with the Archangel front. He says, once supplies from Siberia are assured, the capture of Moscow and Petrograd will be matter of only a short time. NEW UNIT8 TO FRONT OMSK. May 26. The military situation Is regarded here as satisfactory and each. week new units are being equipped and moved toward the front The Bolshevik! have massed forces in the Samara sector in a desperate effort to hold the grain growing section of the country, without which, by their own admission, the Bolshevikl regime is bound to collapse. They won a minor success east of Samara including the reoccupatlon of the town of BielebeL This has been offset, however, by the gains made by Siberian forces along the Vlatka river in the direction of Vlatka. Fighting Is going on in the streets of Orenburg. At Uralsk, 210 miles southwest of Orenburg, Cossack forces which have long been carrying on an Isolated defensive, have been joined by Siberian troops and the govern ment's position in this region has been greatly strengthened. Kolchak Outlines Plans. Admiral Kolchak, head of the all Russian government has returned from a visit to Ekaterinburg, where he presided at a conference ol man ufacturers, peasant and Industrial organizations In the Ural district He gave them assurances that the gov ernment would help in rehobilitation of industries and In the building up of transport facilities.

Outside, in most of the cars lined, along the curb, families had been sitting and waiting patiently for the saloons to close. Not New Sensation.
