RUSSIANSWARNED
IN GQNGBESS FOE
MH HITSUODERLY
SOVIETS EXHORTED AS THEY AD
JOI KN TO ORGANIZE FOR DE.
FENSE—L EXINE DEPLORES NE
ESSITY OF ENFORCED PEACE.
MOSCOW, April 6. —The All-Russian
Congress of Soviets adjourned this af
ternoon after having approved of the
removal of the Capital to Moscow and
voting t 0 elect a new Central Execu
tive Committee to consist of 200 mem
bers.
M. Sverdloff of the Central Execu
tive Committee, in the closing speech
at th e Congress, said it as unfortu
nate that such a peace had to be rati
fied, but he hoped the Russian prole
taria would soon come into its own
and regain its lost position.
He pointed out to the departing
members of the Congress the urgent
necessity for organization for the de
fense of the fatherland and resistance
t.; the enemy's attack “which may
come suddenly—sooner than many
may expect.”
Nikolai T,enine, the Bolsheviki Pre
mier, and other Bolshevik leaders, in
urging ratification of the peace agree
ment, made n o claim that this would
insure permanent peace.
Asked how long a respite might be
expected, Lcnine said that that was
impossible to answer, as it depended
on so many international movements,
st ch as to what extent Germany may
succeed in Ukraine and Finland, when
X I
Japan makes an advance, also on the
general course of the war on tthe oth-,-'
er fronts and the Russian domestic
'situation.
The Moscow Soviet has decided to
organize a local soviet army. As the
peace terms necessiatate the demobil
zation of the new Red army and the
Red guards, the Bolsheviki leaders are
seeing a plan for the organization of
a new artny. The Germans, it is de
clared, will not hinder this movement,
and it seems likely that hereafter de- j
sense will be effected through local,
Soviet armies.
The Social revolutionary party or
ganization has issued a mandate to
withdraw it six members from the
cabinet, but pledging support to the j
Bolsheviki government in all its ac-l
tlvities which the party may regard as ■
being in consonance with the victory
galed by the October revolution. M..
Steinburg, minister of justice, and Mr. j
Kakengaieff, minister of agricluture,
are the most prominent cabinent mem-,
hers thus withdrawn.
At yesterday's session of the con-,
gress M. Sverdioff read the message,
sent to the Russian people early this (
month on behalf of American labor by
Samuel Gompers, in which the assist-1
ar.ee of the working people of Ameri- >
co was promised to the Russians.
The message, which was read be -1
fore the vote in ratification of the
peace treaty was taekn, evoked con
siderable applause. No reply was
sent, as M. Sverdloffff said the message (
to the American people in response
to President Wilson’s communication
was sujeient.

DRY NATION IN
LESS THAN YEAR
ATLANTA. Ga„ April 6.—That the
United States will be a dry nation by
the end of next year is the opinion ex
pressed my Jas. A. Christian, superin
tendent of the Georgia Anti-Saloon
League, on his return from a prohibi
tion fight in the state of Minnesota.
Fine work was tion e by the Anti-Sa
loon League in that state, Mr. Chris
tian, w’ho is an experienced campaign
er, declared on his return, and the
prohibiten forces are confident that
Minnesota will be voted dry in the
general election which come the latter
ort of the year.
As to the prohibition amendment to
the federal constitution, which is now
before the legislatures of the several
states for their ratification or rejec
tion, Mr. Christian states that pro
hibition leaders throughout the conn
try believe it will certainly be rati
fied by the requisite thirty-six legis
latures, and thereby make the nation
dry by the end of 1919.
Four wet states have already rati
fied the amendment. These added to
the twenty -seven states which are ex
pected to ratify it make thirty-one
Fivd more are needed, and of these it
is believe that Florida and Minnesota
will furnish them. Three others will
certainly be obtained, the prohibition
leaders are confident.
Georgia’s legislature will vote on
the amendment at the next session,
and it is of course expected that they
will ratify it.
Mr. Christian announces that Cap
tain Richmond Pearson Hobson will
come to Atlanta on April 14 for three
speeches at the Baptist tabernacle.
