 Conflict

 APPEAL TO WAGE BANNERS
 "The workers have more at stake in their conflict than any others, because it Is only in democracy that the com mon people can come into their own. The great privilege Is not given to all of us to serve our country on the battle- field or in the trenches. but there are other ways in which we can serve and assist those who are privileged to carry our flag on the battlefields of Europe.
 '.Th. impulse of sacrifice for the com mon good is sending the youth of our country Into the trenches In defense of liberty. humanity and democracy. To those of us who must. of necessity, re- main at home to till the soil. harvest the crops, man the factories, mines and service. We. too. must make sacrifices. The men who go forth to do battle in the field must be equipped and sustained. Funds must be forthcoming to furnish the food. the firearms and other sup plies for the fighting forces of the na- ticn Finances for that purpose must be secured immediately from tne sale of bonds. The workers can help by con tributing their mite.

 PETROGRAD IS CALM
 Eight dreadnaughts, a dozen light cruisers, 40 torpedo boats and 30 mine sweepers participated in the German landing on Oesel Island. The people of Petrograd received the news calmly. The newspapers publish interviews with some of the cabinet ministers and others, who agree that while the oper- ation seriously affects Russia's stra- tegic position. 1t does not constitute an immediate menace to the Russian capital.
 
 KERENSKY'S TELEGRAM
 Premier Kerensky today sent tele- gram to the commander in chief of the northern armies in which he said:
 ssTen the redoubtable Baltic fleet
 thnt the hour of trial has arrived.
 Russia expects for her safety a
 valiant effort by the navy and I,
 ns genernlissimo, demand that the X sailors make sacrifices.
 ~The hour has come when the Baltic fleet can defend tho honor of the fatherland and the great
 traditions of liberty and of the
 revolution. It is time to reflect 2 seriously and to cease to cooper
 ate involuntarily with the cause of
 the enemy. The garrison of Krcn-
 stadt has by its attitude already

 the fortress to be fncOmp1ete. AS 7

GERMANS SUFFER LOSS

Although the German communica- tion says the Germans suffered To losses during the landing on Oesel Island. the Petrograd war office says that in attempting to cover the land ing of the enemy on Dago Island, to the north of Oesel. four German tor. pedo boats are reported to have been sunk and one cruiser ran aground. The small detachment which landed on Dago Island was forced later by the Russians to return to the ships while the Russian fleet, which at last ac- counts had suffered no material dAm- age. was hindering the German war craft in the waters between Dago and Oesel Islands.
 As yet nothing has como through to show that the enemy has attempted to attack the mainland of western Es- tonia, nor has there been any indica- ton that the Russian front in this region has been moved.

circus is to exhibit afternoon and night
in Cumberland. Expectancy never ran
so high before and it is likely that this

centers around the gigantic spectacle,

wonderful main tent program. "Cln-

all fairy tales and to see it produced
with more than 1000 persons, hundreds
of dancing girls and glorious pageants,
indeed gives promise of making ''child-
hoods golden dreams come true" In
the same great tent, will come the mar
velous circus numbers in which 400 men
and women performers, scores of train
ed animals and galaxy of special fea-
lures are introduced. The majority of
