Roland S. Morris, the American Ambassador to Japan, who some weeks ago was sent to Omsk. Siberia, to Investigate the Kolchak Government. Is returning im mediately to his post In' Toklo. It is generally believed that Ambas sador Morris in his report regard ing the proposed recognition of the Omsk Government conveys news of the critical situation surrounding which he is accurately informed.

The Ambassador, It is understood, reported not only on conditions In Omsk proper, but also on the situation at the fighting front, where the Kol-chak army is now retreating before greatly superior and better equipped and armed Bolshevist forces. The Ambassador is said to have found many disintegrating elements at work which appear to foreshadow collapse of the Omsk Government and its army. Agitators' Work Felt. From a reliable source Information has been received that the Omsk Gov ernment is not as strong internally as generally believed. Its power to enforce obedience is reported insufficient: many local political organizations have failed to give Kolchak their best support, while as a result of the work of Bolshevist and other enemy agitators a feeling of distrust toward the at Omsk has been created in many parts Siberia.

Back of all this the Kolcliak Government has found it. owing, its friends say. to lack of outside support, impossible to organire an effective military force. There also came to-day confirmation 0 the critical nature of the situation in Siberia from Kolchak himself. This was the cable translation of an appeal Issued to his troops by Kolchak a few days ago.

In which be points out that he is in a death struggle and that the issue now involves either defeat of the enemy or the death of himself and men. Coincident with the bad news from Omsk comes an appeal to the State Department from the provisional government of Northern Russia at Archangel urging that no more Allied troops be withdrawn from that part of Russia, and asking the Alfles to continuo its support to the anti-Bolshevist faction there. Russian Circles More Hopeful. While there is noticeable here a feeling of pessimism among officials or the Government, the feeling in Jlussian circles is more hopeful. It is declared that retirement of the Kolchak forces from the Ural front is not a rout; that for some lime it has been known that the Omsk Government's troops were withdrawing from the Urals to the Tot.ol.

There were declared to he several promising developments in the mili tary situation. The Ural Cossacks nave formed a junction with the ad Vance guards of Gen. Denikin's Cos sacks.

Gen. Denikin is steadily advancing against the Bolsheviki a part of his. aimy now being nail way Dciwecn Tsaritsin and Saratoff. the latter point being an important Bolshevist military base. It is the belief of Russian officials here that the Bolsheviki are carry-ins on their last desperate campaign.

Threats to abandon the arbitration plan of settling labor troubles were made by representatives of packing Itouse employes to-day at hearings on wage increase demands before Federal Judge Alschuler, Federal arbitrator. The threats followed reaflirmation by Judge Alschuler of his decision that workers who walked out last week should lose seniority rights and return as new employes. W. Johnstone, secretary of the. stockyards labor council, said he intended resigning and advising the organization to close its doors.

He said the seniority decision makes it impossible to abide by previous agreements. John Fitzuatrick. president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, charged that packers had used all methods possible to crush organized labor: that they had policemen detailed to the yards for this purpose and had tried to bring about race riots in the yards. Counsel for the packers denied the charges and asserted that the employers were observing trie agreement effected during the war. but declared the workers had violated it repeatedly by -strikes.

Judge Alschuler said the agreement was based on the understanding that the men would remain at work, and declared employers could consider a walkout a violation if they desired. sTKAM.snrps Passenger and Freight Serriws NEW YORK to LIVERPOOL Ordnna Aug. 18 Vauban Auk. 31 Ciirmaiila Aug. 30 Ordnna Seit.
