The man, 'Ids personality, his announced program and his opportunity unite to raise the question: Is he the man of the hour? Many names have come up ont of this same Hussion welter since the Rortinnoffs fell. And many of these names have passed. Kerensky came up and passed. Kolchak came lip aud passed. Denikins came up and passed. Now conies up Wrangel. Will this leader In South Russia stay or will he pass like these other foes of the Red menace? The long and losing struggle of the Russians gainst the dictatorship of Lenine and Trotsky seemed collapsed with the fall of Kolchak In the north and Denlkine In the south. Then flashed forth Wrangel la the south and the struggle was renewed. Now the French government has recognized General Wrangel as the head of the de facto government of southern Russia. America has given notice through the note of the secretary of atate to the Italian ambassador that It will not consent to recognize the soviet as the government of Russia. And the United States has been mak Ing Inquiry to settle for Itself what this General Wrangel represents and what he purposes to do. General Wrangel leads what may be called the fifth great White Russian crusade against the Red soviet government of Moscow. The world was startled to read that he had emerged from his stronghold In the Crimea, coincident with the demolition of Red armies by the Poles, end had thrust his fresh forces eastward across the straits of Azov on to the bolshevik mainland of the North Caucasus and had occupied the great Donets coal basin, 350 miles to the north. Then General Wrangel announced plans for reorganization of his forces Into two armies and one Independent corps- - The first army will hold the northeastern front and will b commanded b Gen eral Gutepow, whose headquarters will be at Mell topol.

COSSA&TT -- The truth is that he Is a member 'and apparently a worthy member of a remarkable International family which traces Its origin to the nobility the Baltic state in 1200. There have been branches In Sweden, Germany and Russia. Of the Swedish branch the most famous was Admiral Carl Gustav Wrangel, who commanded the Swedish armies In the last campaign of the Thirty Tear war. Of the German Wrangcls the best known was the old Field Marshal Graf von Wrangel, whose military career was long and Illustrious. Among the Russian members of the family there Js that explorer who gave his name to Wrangel Island off the north coast of Eastern Siberia and who Is linked with America through his services governor of Alaska. Gen. Baron Peter Wrangel, the subject of this sketch, began his career In the Russian army In 1901, enlisting In the Norse Guards regiment as a private after having been educated as a mining engineer. He left the army a year later, following promotion to a lieutenancy, but upon the outbreak of the e war, in which he was twice promoted for bravery. Subsequently he was graduated from the General Staff academy and at the outbreak of the World war was a captain in command of a cavalry squadron. For distinguished service with this command he was decorated with the highest Russian military order the Cross of St. George. Promotion to the rank of colonel followed ; ho was appointed an aide to the cznr and later became commander of the First Trans-Baika- l Cossack regiment, with which. In July, 1910, he captured an entire battalion. He was then made major general. As a division commander and later as commander of a cavalry corps he continued with the army until the disorders of the revolution had completely undermined Its morale. Then, with many other Russian officers, he fled to the Caucasus. He was arrested by the bolshevikl and narrowly escaped execution. The story Is told that he escaped only through the heroic devotion of his wife, who followed him to prison and obtained his release after persistent appeals. In the summer of 1918, with the growth of the volunteer army, he got command of a brigade under General ErdeL His chief fell 111, and Wrangel, succeeding to the command, attained the liberation of the whole of the north Caucasus and the Terek state. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and given command of " the Caucasian army. Then came bis test of strength with the In chief of the volunteer rmy, General Denlkine. Under Denlkine, Wrangel commanded the right wing of the southern armies. He made the brilliant capture of Tsaritsin on the Volga and later, when It was too late, took command of the central armies, which had been beaten on the front, nearest Moscow. When Denlkine gave up the struggle and departed, he formally handed OTer command of the southern armies to Wrangel. As Denlktne had previously acknowledged the Kolchak government, Wrangel stands as the successor of that government, which the United States desired at one time to recognize, but whose weak-nfs- s Russo-Japanes- are graveling some of the principal streets of the town.

Wrangel arrangement with the Cossacks allows for their complete Independence In their domestic and civil affair. According to an agreement made on April 13 of this year the Hetman of the Don Cossacks recognizes Wrangel as highest military chief In return for this autonomy and Wrangel agrees to consult the Hetman on all negotiations with foreign powers on questions pertaining to Cossack troops and territories. Thus Wrangel begins by avoiding the great mistake of Denlkine. He seeks of all foes of the bolshevikl, bnt not domination over them. My slogan Is," he said, with whomsoever you please, but for Russia." He has before him the lesson of the shattering of Denlklnes hopes. In whose campaigns he played a brilliant part What ihe causes of that failure were, he himself has put thus: Summing them up. It may be said that strategy was sacrificed to politics, and those politics were no good at alL Instead of uniting all the forces that made It their aim to combat bolshevism, and Instead of pursuing e Russian policy, without any party affiliations, there was a Volunteer argay policy, a sort of private politics whose leaders saw In all that did not bear the stamp of the Volunteer ' army enemies of Russia. They fought the bolshevikl, and they fought the Ukrainians, Georgians and Azerbaijans. And It would not have taken much to have started war with the Cossacks, too, who composed half of our "army and with their blood cemented the connection with the regular troops on the battlefield. The territories of the Cossacks were engulfed In the sweep of the Red armies toward the Caucasus. They represent still, however, according to .their spokesman in Paris, V, A. .Kharlamov, a force of several scores of thousands- of fighting men. As far the attitude of the Cossacks toward" rule, M. Kharlamov says: The democracy of Europe should remember this: The Cossack are unable to accept the soviet regime; they are organically incapable of becoming Communists. The Cosacks are In their overwhelming majority thrifty farmers. There ts no such thing as a Cossack proletariat In existence. The Cossack Is by nature an Individualist, holding very dear his personal liberty. Not In vain did the revolution affect the Cossacks. They are going to defend their freedom, their rights and liberties with all their might" ar Jut nowadays much better ones nanufactured of porcelain by tbe As a fighting force the new army will depend mainly on the Cossacks.
