Back to Russia and Russian lib.

the statement OF A. Gerko in the city

100 Russians who have turned their
faces toward the land of their birth. :.
The party of Russians, nearly all
men and women, came from New

left over the Union Pacific for San
Francisco. From there they sail for
Japan, crossing over to Manchuria,
where, from Vladivostok, they entrain
for Petrograd. The trip will consume
sixty days,
According to Mr.. Gerko all mem
bers of the party have at times in the
past been Objectionable to the former
car of Russia. For this reason they
were banished to Siberia for life and
anywhere from six to fifteen years age
escaped and made their way to the
United States. They are now goins

said Mr.. Cobbey. IT does a work
that the army chaplains do not and

the province OF the Red Cross. 1t is
the only big influence in the army to
keep the men away from booze, bad

"The Young Mems Christian asso-

Red Cross is to the sick man.. The
Red Cross is doing great work. But
the Young Mems Christian associa-

of as great importance to keep the

MILUKOFF LEAVES
RUSSIAN CABINET
Reorganization of Ministry by
Radicals May Save the Sit
uation, Says Wash
ington.

Petrograd, May l6.-(Via London.)
Paul N. Milukof, minister OF for
eign affairs, has resigned, leaving the
cabinet altogether. N. Tereschtenko,
minister of finance, has been appoint
ed foreign minister and A. F. Keren-
sky, previously minister OF justice, has
been named minister OF war and ma
rine.
Prof. Milukoff's decision to retire
from the cabinet was announced at
sitting of .he provisional government
held last night. Its cause, the official
news agency states, was difference
IN views Oh the reorganization OF the
cabinet.
Washington, May l6.-Reorganiza-
ton of the Russian cabinet was re-
garded here both as increasing. the
power OF the radicals and as looking
forward to a greater degree OF unity.
1t is generally felt that the coming
into power OF the radical party is
more desirable than situation where
the power was divided between radi-
calls and moderates with both prac-
tically powerless to act: ,,.
The resignation Of Foreign Minis
ter Milukotf is regarded as the price
demanded by the radicals for their ac-
tive cooperation with the govern
ment. Milukof incurred much
enmity when he pledged Russia, with
out consulting the radicals, not to
make a separate peace. He has also
been unpopular in some quarters for
his vigorous insistence that Russia be
given Constantinople, which was re-
garded in conflict with the no-annexa-
ton pronouncement. go.
The resignation of many military
officers is regarded as vastly more
dangerous than the political shiftings
of power, as the whole discipline and
morale OF the army may be affected.

To Auoid DandruH

You do not want a slow treatment
for itching scalp when hair Is falling
and the dandruff germ is killing the
hair roots. Delay means-no hair.
Get, at any drug store, a bottle Of
zemo for Csc or $l.W for extra large
size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruff
germ, nourishes the hair roots and i'm
mediately stops itching scalp. 1t is
pure, reliable, antiseptic liquid, is not
greasy, is easy to use and will not stain.
Soaps and shampoos are harmful, as
they contain alkali. The best thing to
use for scalp irritations is zemo. for it
is safe and also inexpensive.
