DELEGATES VOICE APPEAL
ssThe More Metal the Less Gun Fod- tlcr'', Their S.ogan-lAn Allies Must Rcassurc Petrograd of War Aims, Russian Socialist Says.

Petrograd. via London. May 3O.- The congress of delegates from the front, after debate on the wAef. has unanimously voted the following reso- lutions:
 First. the army in the trenches de- clares that 1t is indispensable to take every measure to put an end as quick ly as possible to the international carnage and conclude peace without annexation or indemnity, on the basis of the right of all nations to dispose of. themselves. proclaiming at the same time the watchword Whoever wishes for peace must prepare for war;.
 Second. the army, pointing out that the Russian soldiers have been fight ing hitherto under conditions infinite lyss worse than those of the Allies. that the Russian soldier has had to march almost unprotected against the enemy's bullets and break with bare arms the barbed wire entanglements. which the Allies and the enemy pass freely after artillery preparation. de- clares that the Russian front must be provided with munitions and every thing necessary to maintain the prin- ciple '.the more metal the less gun fodder
 In conclusion the congress declares that the army appeals to all to whom free Russia is dear to rally around the Council of Soldiers and workmen's ] delegates and the provisional govern 1 ment and not to permit "adventurers l to let the army become manure for

CUTS OFF NEUTRALs' FOOD.
Action of Britain Regarded as One of
the Most Important of the War -
Aimed at Central Powers.

Great Britain s new embargo on
shipments of about everything to
Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the
Netherlands is regarded as most i'm
portant move in tightening the Gordon
which slowly but surely is killing the
military power of Germany.
Coming close on the export embargo of
the United States, which is being admin
istered to keep from European neutrals
everything that might supply the central
powers, Great Britains action is regarded
as one of the most important moves of the
war. As the British embargo excludes
everything except printed matter about
the only thing that will be permitted to
go to the German people by way of the
neutrals will be expressions of world opin-
ion that they should re-organize their sys-
TEN of government to do away with mill
tary autocraccy.
In figurative sense Germany holds one
end of the rope and the United States the
other. Gradually, as it is being drawn
taut the military power of Germany is be-
ing stranged because the embargo cuts
off the supply she has been receiving
through the adjacent neutrals.
