The White House Trouble Man"

From ward politics to the post second
In strategic Importance in world politics
is long Jump but Mr., Tumulty made
il successfully and with ease because
of his knowledge OF human nature
Human nature is pretty much the same
in London and Paris as in the fifth
Ward, Jersey City. II may differ in
expression, but not in its bases Pride,
prejudice and passion are affected by
the came influences in one part Of the
globe as in another
The progressive movement in the
democratic party which gave Woodrow
Wilson 10 the nation as its president
had It's inception in the west, where
progressive movements frequently ORR
ginate, but L found It's praeticability
IN the old Fifth Ward In Jersey City.
Against the thousand theorists and
dreamers who Iealously toyed with the
Wilson movement the old Fifth Ward
matched ito Joseph P. Tumulty, and
It's faith was vindieated in twp national
elections. >
Today, Joseph P Tumulty Is regarded
as the most astute politician In the
democratic party. The side of him
that few men outside the inner circle
OF the administration know is revealed
In his strong pilotinb in the publics
view Of American craftsmanship in the
war. The knowledge of human nature
that Mr. Tumulty gained In the Fifth
Ward In Jersey City has been one OF
the most definite influences to de-
termine national policies in the past
four years.
Every well.ordcred automibile estab-
iishment employs a trouble man" :"
When one Of its cars develops a defect
the trouble man l. called in, analyre,
the defect and prcseribes the remedy
Mr., Tumulty Is the trouble doctor
OF the Wilson administration When
ever a defect develops, he is called upon
to remedy it. His success Is almost
q proverb in Washington.
Probably not even the president and
his cabinet realize the full measure
OF Mr.. Tumulty's influence upon
national policies. No one has equaled
him, excepting William Leob jr., under
Roosevelt. They know that his advice
has always been sound; that he has
kept close to the pulse of public
opinion; that his knowledge Of what
people are thinking is sometimes un-
cannily intuitive and that in any
political or diplomatic crisis his advice
is dependable The newspaper men Of
Washington alone, however, know how
Mr. Tumulty's Interpretation OF the
policies OF the administration, and the
personalit. of President Wilson have
been the principal factors In bringing
about public approval Of the govern
ment's war policies. The full story
Of Mr.. Tumulty's services to the natior
in upholding the national honor will
never be told. II will never be tolc
because Il has been the well-defineC
policy OF the secretary to the presiden
to keep himself in the background, anc
to find his satisfaction in the publ
approval given to the president
--l.eslie's.

JAPAN WILL NOT SEND TROOPS
 TO RUSSIA
Foreign Office Makes An Important Statement Regarding War
 Situation.
RUSSIA NEEDS SUPPLIES

TOXIC, June 2.-Japan does not intend to send troops at the pres ent time to Russia. This statement was made by the Foreign Office to- day. The officials stated that the greatest need of Russia, after the present internal strife has been set tied, was for munitnon and sup plies.
 The denial regarding the des- patching of troops came about through the publication in the United States that large force of Japanese were to be sent to Rus sia, being the next move in the world war. The Japanese troops were to be used, according to the report, to make sure that there should be no separate peace between Russia and Germany. Another req son for the troops going to Russia was to prevent Germany from se- curing any opportunity to control Russia so as to keep the Teutons ultimately out of China.

PETROCRAD IS AGAIN SCENE
 OF UPRISINCS Anarchists Parade Streets and Spread Rebellion
 Throughout
 City. CRY wOOT THE BANkS'' War Minister InstructS the Authorities To Shoot Rioters Down if It
 Is Necessary.
CRY "LOOT THE BANKS"

PETROGRAD, June 2.-Heavily armed anarchists paraded the New sky Prospect today bearing ban ners inscribed down with Author ity. Long live social revolution"
 Following the parade speakers urged the people to loot the banks. Many soldiers and sailors joined in the celebration.
 Word was immediately sent to Minister of War Karensky, who is making an official visit to the va rious battlefronts, and he sent back authority to suppress the anarchists and if force was needed to shoot down those rioting.
 Today, like other days, the uned- ucated class is again causing the Provisional government officials much concern. The soldiers on the battlefronts are supporting the au- thorities but those at the various large centers are rushing hehe and there, aimless and with no con certed designs.

A vivid story of the first air bat tie of an American who enlisted in the French aviation service is told in a letter by Paul Proctor Latour, who had the experience. He writes:-''I was circling over an enemy battery, spOtting the fire of our guns and keeping a sharp eye out for Boche mac hines. Away back behind the lines I could see three or four machines zig-zagging back and forth. All of sudden 1 saw one of them detach itself from the group and come toward us. It was a type I had never seen. We went for each other nose to nose, the Roche having the advantage of posi- ton of about hundred yards above us. We steered straight for the other machine until we got into range The anti-aircraft guns of the Allies started bursting all about the Boche. We let him have a stream of steel, and in the twinkle of an eye it was over. The Roche shot forward three times the speed of the wind and diyed for his own lines. It's fun. l can scarcely believe it myself, but the one impression l had during the fight-and the only impression that I can retain of it. is one of beauty I never gave death thought for one moment"
