FOR £ NEW RUSSIA
Twelve of the most prominent
Russians who reside in France are
the founders and backers of a new
organization, the “League of Rus
sians Faithful to Their Country and
Its Alliances.” The organization is
pledged to work for the reestablish
ment of order, to defend the vital
interests of Russia, and the econo
mic regeneration of the country.
Leaders of the organization, we
are informed by The Associated
Press, are such men as M. Efremof,
once chief of the Progressive Party
in the Russian Duma and former
minister of justice of the Provisional
government; M. Iswolsky, former
minister of state and former ambas
sador to France; General Lokhvit
sky, former commander of the Rus
sian troops in France and now at
the head of the Russia volunteer
forces; Mr. Nelidof, Russian minister
to Belgium at Havre; and M. Stak
hovitch, former governor of Finland
under the Provisional government
and later ambassador to Spain.
They have detached themselves
from the “Union of Patriotic Rus
sians” with the following announce
ment cj their aims:
“The restablishment, in an in
divisible and sovereign Russia, of
order and legality on strictly con
stitutional bases, guaranteeing the
rights of citizens as well as those
of those of other nationalities on the
basis of extensive local liberty (local
self government )
“Defense of the vital interests
of Russia by the conservation of
political, intellectual and economic j
ties of the strongest sort with the ]
Allied countries, and by the recrea
tion of the military and naval
strength of Russia.

THE WAY OUT
The Allies realize it takes time
for a democratic nation such as
America to pull itself together and
get into war ham ss.
We cannot immediately send ship
loads of aeroplanes munitions and
trained men.
But we can immediately send the
Allies shiploads of wheat- To save
wheat requires no machinery, no
long months of training. All that is
necessary is the willingness to eat
something else in its place.
The Allies are fighting and dying
for us, willing and ready to bear
the full brunt of the war until we
can prepare ourselves to shoulder
our share of the burden. All that
they ask is that we shall sustain
their bodies while they do this.
Is it inconceivable under the cir
cumstances that we should be will
ing to give them our wheat—yes, to
the last pound if necessary. Cer
tainly we can get along without
wheat pastry and desserts, and as
for wheat bread, we can get along
without this, too, by eating corn,
barley, buckwheat, or rice hot breads
for one mea! a day, and the other
meals eating more rice, hominy and
potatoes in place of a part of the
ordinary amount of wheat bread.
Especially does the latter vege
table offer a “way out”. Give your
family plenty of potatoes and let
them go without bread entirely.
NURSES’ ASSOCIATION
HAS RARE HONOR FLAG
"_ ' i
NEW ORLEANS—The Louisiana
State Nurses’ Association possesses
a service flag with eighty-seven j
stars and many others have enlisted I
since June 3, when the new Red
Cross campaign to obtain 25,000,
nurses for war service by January1
1 was inaugurated- Nurses resident j
in the Gulf division and especially,
in Louisiana are greatly desired for j
service in France as virtually all I
speak French and are familiar with |
the customs of the French people.!
This city claims the honor of hav-1
ing been the first to offer its nurses j
to the American Red Cross, when ten
were enrolled nine years ago.
LORDS ARE NOW
RULED By PEOPLE
IN OLD RUSSIA
Change In Form of Governmenl
I* Graphically Shown; Rule
By the People Popular.
V OLOGDA, Russia.—The topsy
turvy change which has taken placf
in Russian life with the advent ol
the rule of the Bolsheviki is graphi
cally shown by the situation in tht
Governor's palace here, where the
foreign embassies, including that ol
the United States, have made theii
headquarters since leaving Petro
grad.
In that palace, where now sits the
Vologda government soviet there is
a sailor who is in command of ar
important military post—once held
by a general. Two months ago the
sailor wore his open-throated blouse
and belled trousers and was un
shaven- A month ago the corres
pondent saw him, this time in trim
light grey uniform, with slick, shin
ing high boots.
Recently, a carriage with two fine
horses, passed the correspondent’s
izvoschik on the Riverside drive ol
V ologda. Seated in the carriage
was an elaborately uniformed youny
man, his right arm, Russian fashion,
clasping the waist of a very pretty
girl.
Our sailor friend; out for an air
ing, with his lady love.
While the “bourgeoise” are under
going a taste of what the proletariat
had, the Vologda representatives of
the latter are ruling with a firm,
quiet hand. There have been n<.
riots or disorders here as in Petro
grad and Moscow. The soviets just
took control, that was all.
They are free and untrammeled
lords of all they survey. Most ol
them have stepped into the offV-il
places without changing their work
men’s blouses. Their “sobrinias” or
meetings, are fervent with oratory
and theories and they are learning
politics and all its quips and quirks.
Those of the embassy colonies hers,
who have attended the ’’sobrinias”
declare that they have been im
pressed most by their earnestness.
HORSEMANSHIP
(With Apologies to the Light Cavalry
Hudson Bays)
A leading merchant of our town,
Professor on the range,
Bought himself a steed of brown,
For riding’s all the rage.
Now any man (quoth he) can ride
Who, on the range brought up.
So harness man was notified
For saddle, spurs and crupp.
He threw the saddle wrong side
And bridled up his tail;
Got things mixed up like Irish ste
Ere starting on the trail.
The horse tied to an electric pole,
Till Bill got on his back.
But he got loose, Bill lost conti
And struck Jhe ground a wha<
At early dawn, the following morn,
The horse crawled like a snail,
And poor Bill limped with a crutch;
His rigging was for sale.
He searched around for a hostler
sound, *
Raw from a fighting breed,
To fill that horse with sad remorde,
He grabbed a wrestling Swede.
When evening fell,though sore as hell
These warriors off did start.
With ropes and chain, in lieu of rejn
They mounted on a cart. $
A whip was used on the nervous horse
To even the old score.
The horse resented this indeed;
The lashes made him lore.
In a short time, all mud and grim';,
Dragged from the horese’s hee*s.
Was Bill and Swede, together freed,
Mid spokes from broken wheels.
When Dr. More cleaned off the gore
From the kicking, wandering Jew,
And went away, the patrons say,
That horse went in the stew.
WAR CONDITIONS
IN DENMARK ARE
TOLD LOCAL MAN
Neutral Country Near Firing Lini
Feels Pinch Imposed by the
War Conditions.
Andy Logstrup received a lette
from Denmark on the last mail, tell
ing of conditions existing in • tha
little kingdom as a result of th<
great war. »
1 High prices prevail, especially ii
foodstuffs and property, and thi
entire population have been put 01
a ration basis and are required t<
have the necessary government sane
tion to purchase food stuffs. Thesi
conditions are said to be felt mon
in the towns than in the agricultura
and pastoral districts, but all of th<
people have to conform to the nev
laws and new restrictions impose!
by war conditions.
Articles of food that have beei
imported hitherto are now practicall;
unobtainable, and such of this clas
of goods that are now in the king
dom have been appropriated by thi
government for use in the hospitals
The Danes, however, feel tha
they are a good deal better off thai
the other neutral nations in thi
neighborhood.
Of the imported articles, coffee
rice' and flour are the principa
items that the Danes are short o
and stocks of these commodities ar>
very carefully watched and as care
fully doled out to meet immediati
wants.
The farms and factories produci
sufficient for the population and thi
surplus always commands a gooi
figure, the neighboring countries be
ing very anxious to buy and paj
high prices for them.
As a sample of the high rate:
ruling, the prices of some of thi
necessities are given: meat sells foi
2 kroner per pound, sweet milk at
from 65 to 90 cents per gallon, anc
eggs are 20 cents each. These ar<
unheard of prices in times of peace
STREET RAILWAYS MUST
CUT COAL CONSUMPTION
LONDON.—An order has been is
sued requiring all street railwaj
companies in Great Britain to re
duce their coal consumption by fif
teen per cent as compared with last
year.
Several street railways, including
those of Liverpool and Manchester
have decided to adopt the American
precedent of running “skip-stop’
cars, which omit about half of tht
customary stops.

passenger on the stage arriving this
morning.
