Agree to Organize Soviet

LONDON, Jan. 11.—(By U. P.)—
Bolshevism is spreading over Persia
so rapidly that the British frontier
guard has been ordered withdrawn
and all British women and children
have been ordered out of Teheran,
according to dispatches here today.
Cabinet members and former
cabinet officers of Persia in an ex-
traordinary council have agreed to
Russia's proposals for sovietizing
Persia, the reports said.
All legations, the shah and his
court were expected to withdraw
from Teheran in the spring, the re-
ports said.

PARIS. Jan. 11.—Russia must be
saved from being looted by voracious
American capitalists. Alexander
Kerensky declared today in an ex-
clusive interview.
With this objective, the former
premier called for all the anti-bol-
shevik factions to rally to him to
hurl Lenin and Trotsky out of power.
The United Press correspondent
was received in a hotel room which,
littered with charts and maps, re-
sembled an army headquarters.
There, Kerensky was in conference
with anti-bolshevik military experts
i si.d statesmen.
• Foreign capitalists who acquire
long term grants in Russia from the
soviet government are picking the
pocltets of a prostrate nation."
Kerensky exclaimed, turning a mo-
ment from the task of planning the
anti-bolshevik campaign.
"1 am organizing here in Palis a
new government for Russia—an exile
administration, you might call it. I
have called in all the anti-bolshevik
leaders.
"One of our first acts upon regain-
ing power will be to make a clean
sweep of all soviet trade agree-
ments."
Includes American (-rants.
This includes the Kamchatka con-
cessions granted the American syn-
dicate headed by Washington D. |
Vanderlip, of Los Angeles. Kerensky
said foreign capitalists with un-
paralleled voraciousness were bent
upon looting the natural treasure
houses of Russia. Only a military
victory over the bolsheviki will save
Russia from these exploiters, he said,
military preparations he is making
w.ll surprise the world when the full
force is revealed, hinting that he had
the backing of powerful govern-
ments.
"The soviet regime may survive lor
pome time yet," he said, "because we
must be given a chance to organize
before making our combined assault.
One of our first steps will be re-
establishment of Great Russia. " o
must have back the territories taken
from Russia as a result of the war.
Warns U. 8. Capitalists.
"United States capitalists should
beware entering into bargains with
the soviets. The United States
should avoid negotiating treaties
with them. All ihesc agreements
will be swept from the board when
the bolsheviki are turned out.
"When we return to power, per-
haps we will grant some concessions
in exchange for help from America,
but we never will sign grants sol
damaging to Russia's interests as
this Siberian concession to American
capitalists represented by Washing^
ton D. Vanderlip.
"We do not object to trade with
Russia at the trader's risk, such as
is now approved by the United
States government as that is bene-
ficial to the Russian people. But
formal treaties should not be signed.

the roving minister left Eldo-

"Surely no minister of the

Mrs. Olive Krovvn, one of the
leaders of the Church of G<|1
denomination at Danville, is of
a different opinion.
"Sister Harrington is doing

Released from National Guard One Year After Discharge
Protests of Oklahoma City
service star mothers have
brought about the release of
Gilbert Swartout, 18, from the
national guard it was announced
Tuesday—one year after his
discharge was authorized by Ad-
jutant General Charles F. Bar-
rett.
His failure to return "certain
articles belonging to the govern-
ment"—including two buttons
from his O. D. uniform—caused
the delay.
"It is against the law to give
a discharge if anything belong-
ing to the government has not
been returned," said Captain A.
H. Parmelee, the officer who
held up the papers after they
were made out at the capitol,
"We gave him his discharge last
Friday because we did not want
to be bothered with unpatriotic
people. We don't want any bey
who is unpatriotic."
Young Swartout was one of
the guardsmen sent to McAles-
ter to help break the miners
strike a year ago. He enlisted
in the organization when he
was but 15, according to his
mother, Mrs. Sadie Swartout.
"That waf- three years ago."
she said. "They talked him into
joining."
Captain Parmelee declared
Tuesday that the youth had
sworn he was 18 years old, and
had begged to be taken into the
company.
"Somebody told him ho was
not patriotic if he didn't join the
army." Mrs. Swartout asserted.
"When he was sent to McAles-
ter to break the miners' strike,
I went out to see the adjutant
general, and told him how it
was, and explained to hhn that
my boy should be in school.
"Then the adjutant general
sent his discharge to Captain
Parmelee, the head of his com-
pany. That wasj a year ago.
"The captain held up the dis-
charge, aud told my boy there
was a suit belonging to the Gov-
ernment, that had to be re-
turned. Gilbert brought it back.
"Then the captain said there
were two buttons missing from
the suit. Gilbert got the but-
tons and took them back.
"The captain still refused to
give him the discharge, saying
there was something else that
had to be returned. So last Fri-
day some of the service star
mothers and I went out to the
capitol and demanded that Cap-
lain Parmelee be made to band
over my boy's discharge. The
adjutant general made him hand
it over."
Captain Parmelee averred on
Tuesday that his action was only
in accordance with the law for-
bidding discharge unLil all gov-
ernment property is returned.
"I believe there is still some
