RUSSIAN PREMIER PREDICTS
NEW REPUBLIC OF PEACE

NEW YORK, May 22-Predicting that
a Republic OF Peace will rise in Russia
after the war, Premier Lvoff of the
provisional government today sent a
message to the American people,
through Isaac F. Marcosson. represen-
tative of Everybody's Magazine.
1.-The newest of democracies greets
America with peculiar fervor, because
it feels that the American people can
readily understand what the great Rus
sian revolution means" said Lvoff.
"Autocracy in Russia is dead forever.
In it's stead will soon rise Republic
of Peace"
I'VE wish America to realize thorough
w that there can be but one result Of
the great upheaval and that result a
real democracy modelled along the
lines of the American republic, Great
ing a government by and for the whole
neople 1t will mean Justice and OPP
portunity to everybody.
''The name Russia once meant dark
ness and oppression. 1t will now mean
light and freedom. The New Russia
will be the frankest and most liberal
of republics. In New Russia the Jew
and Gentle are brothers.
1--WE want America to know that
Russia will continue the war to
peace dictated by allied victory. The
revolution, which wiped out pro-Ger-
man conspiracies against national life,
insures the result Only on complete
victory can our Republic of Peace be
reached.
I'm that struggle we are proud to
have America as an ally. Russia looks
to America for fresh bonds and new,
lasting commercial democratic kim
ship"

ALLIES GENERAL
HAS MANY WOUNDS

LONDON, May pa direct hit by a
baby shell or Zeppelin bomb may some
day finish rigadier-General Adrian
Carton de Wharf but smaller missiles
seem unequal to the job.
Wounded nine times during his mil
itary career. General de Wharf has be-
come a human verdun. He is pretty
badly Clipped but the citadel still
holds.
The Generals latest wound was a
shrapnel blow which took chunk out
of one ear. Medical treatment in the
field staunched the flow of blood, his
head was bandaged and he remained in
the field ~sf7
The habit of getting wounded seized
General de Wharf in the South African
War. He was hit twice during that
campaign.
1t was in Samoliland that he receiy-
ed his next wound This time he lost
an eye, but continued to serve as Cap
tain in the Army.
Commanding a force in Flanders in
the early days of the Great War, the
General had his left arm shot off. That
laid him up for while but he came
back and was wounded next as COM
mander of a Worcestershire corps at
La Boiselle.
Then there followed three more
woundings occurring various points on
the Western front.
General de Wharf is Belgian,
brother OF the Belgian foreign minister.
But he was educated at an English col
lege and has been in the British Army

TO HELP RESTORE COAL FIELDS

PARIS, May 22.-I will take nearly
two years to put the coal fields in the
neighborhood of Lens into working
condition again after the destruction
effected by the Germans there, accord
ing to Carlos Devian, head of one of
the large coal mining companies of
that district.
THE success of the British around
Lens is of inestimable value to
France he said today" We have been
awaiting the return of this district for
a long time, and have prepared all our
measures so that there shall be no
more delay than necessary. The mines
OF Lens produce 100000 tons of coal
ard 100000 tons of coke yearly, but
it is doubtful If this production can
be reached again within two years
Some of the shafts may be put in
working order in few months, how
ever. The assistance of the United
States will be matter of vital import
ance to us in this work, for the Amer
leans can furnish us quickly the pow
erful machinery necessary, which
could not be obtained in France for
many months"

MEXICAN MILITARY HEAD
IS ONLY FIVE FEET TALL

JUAREZ, Mexico, May 22.-Mexican
leaders have been Napoleonic in size
for centuries and the newest military
hero of the north is no exception. Cen
eral Francisco Murgia, the new COM
Elander-in-chief of the Mexican divis-
ion of the northeast is only five feet,
five and one-half inches in height.
The commander who has succeeded
defeating Francisco Villa three times
within as many months and has been
defeated once by the revolutionary
leader, is called ''The Fighting Cock of
the North" because of his aggressive
tactics against Villa and his follow
ers.
Soon after his arrival in Chihuahua
City at the head of his Deaths Head
brigade, General Murgia attacked Villa
near Jiminez, defeating the enemy in a
cries of decisive engagements. He fol-
lowd Villa to Parral, where he defeat

Loading his brigade on nine troop
trains General Murgia rushed them
to Jaurez, and then into the country
evacuated by General Pershing's punt
tive expedition to undertake a compre-
hensive enveloping movement against
the villa troops.
General Murgia wears the character
istically fierce black moustache of the
Mexican army officer, has keen, snap

a strong chin. Like many men of

dress, wears tailored uniforms and

BELYA LOCKWOOD'S
CAREER.

Whatever may be ones views as tc
the merits of woman suffrage, a due
need of praise must be paid to Belva
Lockwood, who has just died at the age
Of eighty-six.
1t required something more than
ordinary ability and courage to cham
pion the cause of woman's rights at
the time when Mrs. Lockwood took up
the cudgels. The object she sought in
the early days of her advocacy was not
Sc much the ballot, though that was
logically the eventual goal, but the
of woman from many of
the other narrow prejudices and dis
qualifications which hedge her about.
The most notable of her achieve
ments, perhaps, was to prepare and Sc
cure the adoption of measure w
which women should be allowed to
practice law before the Supreme court
of the United States. She herself was
tie first woman to enjoy that privil-
eye.
Since that time there have been but
few women, to be sure, who have plead
e6 before the court of last resort, but
the effect of the moral victory was
great.
Mrs. Lockwood will always be re-
membered above everything else by
tie fact that in 1884 she ran for pres
ident of the United States on the Equal
Rights ticket. Her candidacy was look
ed upon with an amused tolerance al
the time, but the sum of her endeavors
has undoubtedly been great. Gratitude
