GCE1' IN FORMATION ABOUT RLSSI.\ The American and French Ambassa dors Are to Visit Moscow to Gath er Data on Which the Cause of the Allies in Russia Can Be Determined Washington, June l i.-A combina tion of at velonments all favor'ng ;n tern.it. o in' Russia by the en'.ent.. allies may force an immediate modi fication of the policy of non-interfer ence recently suggested by President Wilson. A decision by which the United States will either agree to con tribute troops to the proposed expedi tion, or restate opposition to the movement is expected shortly. It is now admitted that the purpo;e of the visit of Ambassador Franci, to Moscow is to get first-hand in formation by which President Wilson :an be guided in determining a new zourse. The announcement that M. Noulens, the French ambassador, is Also en route to Moscow, is believed to indicate that the American and French diplomatic representatives are working to the same purppse. All information received at the State Department is co the effect that conditions within Russia are steadily growing worse. The latest reports show that the population of the Uk raine is threatening a wide revolt. Diplomats who are following Rus sian affairs closely assert the bolshe viki authorities are rapidly losing in influence. The visit: of Nikolai Len ine to Berlin is believed to be for the purpose of appealing for German aid. Conditions which permit of such fa miliar intercourse between the holshe viki leader and the Berlin authorities cannot in any event be to the advan tage of the allies, it is held. In the White House, it is said, Pes uent Wilson is resolute in his pur pose not to be stampede into a re versal of policy. le has hesitated so far to make any move, due to the lack 1of trustworthy information from Rus sia. His greatest concern at the pres ent tinme is to learn what extent the appeal filed in the State D~epartmnent a few dlays ago by Ambassador Boris Batkhmete-ff for the central commit. tee of the Constitutional party in Rus. sia for intervention is repiresentative of the nation. It is expected that mainy of thi queations involved in intervention will coime before the cabinet tomorrow In addition, a number of conferences will be held by the presidenmt dujrinc the next few days with diplomatic representatives who have bee*n in. structed by their governments to urge participation by the United States ir an interallied expedlition. Tfhe French ambassador, M. J1u les J usse randl, presented G;eneral Berthe lot, an import~ant representative of the French military service, in the white I louse todlay. G;eneral Bethelot came to the United States ostensibly' to in spect French officers and soldiers on gaged in training United States troops. The real putrpose of the visit, however, is known to be ini the inter est of intervention in ilussia.
