PARIS, May 26. The opinion prevailing in Paris concerning recognition of General Kolchak's Government is focussing on the fact that Kolchak is the leader of a movement to establish law and order while Lenin is the embodiment of everything opposed to law and order.

Lieutenant Roget of the French army flew from Paris to Rabat in Morocco, a distance of 1,375 miles, in 13 hours. This is claimed to be the best non stop flight on record.
