General Strike Proclaimed by the League Of
Leagues-In Retaliation the Government

St. Petersburg, (By Cable).-A shud-
der of horror has convulsed Russia. The
government claims it has given battle
only to the "red" revolutionists, but the
populace generally believes that the
white terror" has returned Already
the leaders of the proletariat organization
who escaped capture Saturday night at
the Economic Society, and even men OF
the rank of Professor Milukoff, are in
hiding from the police, who are hunting
them down.
The government evidently anticipates a
battle royal and has made its dispositions
accordingly. It fully understands that
the proletariat will give blow for blow
in answer to the wholesale arrests.
The workinen's council and the League
of Leagues Saturday night issued de-
claration of general strike to begin

perial ukase published Sunday morning
all governors general, governors and pre-
fects throughout the empire who are

most dictatorial powers, being author
lied, without consulting St. Petersburg,
to declare state of siege and, if nee
.essary, even martial law. As most OF
the provincial authorities are reactionary
officials Of the old regime the advantage
they will take of such power to terrorize
the populace can be easily imagined,
they being in position to become petty
tyrants, and wage war each in his own
particular fashion against the revolution
lists.
The Novoe Vremya was the only pa

ers' union and was published under the
protection of police and Cossacks. The
Slovo and the Novosti, two other papers
that have not suspended publication, were
unable to appear, as the printers walked
out in obedience I'd orders of the council
of worlmen because these papers re-
fused to print the manifesto of the pro-
letariat organization.

Preventing Mllk Perer.

An expert dairyman who has had

at this time for the special benefit Of
those whose cows will calve in the

COW with calf 30 that during the six
weeks Just before the dropping OF the
calf her diet should be rather light
and laxative in character. See that the
COW gets plenty OF exercise up to the
day the calf is born, but see that such
exercise is taken in proper weather or
under q shed where she will be pro-
tected from cold and storm. Do not
milk the COW for at least twenty -four
hours after the calf is born.
