Kerensky's Iron Rule
Of Army Put to Test

Petrograd, May 29.-Minister of War
Kerensky began to-day the supreme
test Of his own career and of new Rus
sia's. His new orders to the army, re-
storing discipline by authorization for
punishment of offenders, including
penal servitude for deserters, became
effective in the orders of the day.
The Peasants Congress to-day re-
jected almost unanimously a resolu-
ton demanding immediate publication
of all treaties signed by the old regime
in Russia and in emphatic terms voiced
disapproval of determination of Rus
sian troops with the enemy.
The decision on the treaties is in
strong support of the government,
which has maintained that such action
should not be taken without consulta-
tion with Russia's allies.
Kerensky is still at the front eXhort-
ing the troops TO fight.

Baseball Played
By Canadians on
Hindenburg Line
u. S. Troops Arrival Will Start
Interleague Series in Shade
of Vimy Ridge

OFrom a STAFF Correspondent Of The AS
socia,ed Press
British Headquarters in France. May
29.-The baseball season on the West
ern front is in full swing. Under the
very shadow of Vimy Ridge great
game was played yesterday afternoon
before an all-khaki audience on bit
of the battlefield on which the she'll
holes had been filled in and a rough
grandstand erected for the officers and
other spectators, including General
Horne, commanding the LIST BRUSH
army, an enthusiastic fan.
The game was between teams repre-
senting two Canadian brigades. AS
matter of fact, all the teams in what
may be called the World War League
are now composed Of representatives OF
the numerous Canadian bodies, and all
the players are anxiOusly awaiting the
arrival of the American forces, to ar
range for an interleague series.
The I'd Canadian Brigade beat the
Sd by the score of TO /. The I'd
Brigade had great left handed pitcher
whose delivery the Sd Brigade batters
could not solve. The Sd Brigade team
also had a good boxman, who formerly
played with Ottawa, In the Canadian
League. The catcher was unable TO
hold his delivery well, and this &C
counted for many runs scored by the
winning side.
As a side show it was possible from
the grandstand to see an occasional
German shell dropping half mile OF
so away. Airplanes were hummine
overhead. but, assuming them to be
friendly, no one looked their way ,ex-
cept when a fly ball happened to be hit
There was typical roofing by the
Canadians and Americans among The
khaki-clad spectators, and much wager
ing. One subaltern bet enough, he SAID
to pay his expenses on a three weeks
leave in Paris, but he chose the wrong
side and his leave was indefinitely post
poned. The games are played twlce q

Perhaps the best criterion of the eX-
tent and importance OF the italian sue
cess lies in these figures. The number
OF guns taken gives svrong indication
Of the marked superiority Of Cadorna s
artillery and infantry in the two weeks
Of the great offensive.
To Continue Gorilla Thrust
Official reports indicate that Cadorns
intends further 10 prosecute his pres
ent thrust north Of Gorilla before
shifting the weight of the attack again
TO the Carso front. In the latter sec
tor the Italian commander is now
bringing up his heavy guns for a final
drive against Mounts Hermada and
Quercata, which guard the strategic
position Of Duino. The fall of Dunno
will open the way for the final phase
Of the advance on Trieste. Already the
Austrian resistance here is stiffening.
Military critics here ascribe the as
founding success Of the Italians in the
last fortnight largely to the wonderful
work of General Msglietta, Cadorna's
chief of engineers, under whose direc-
ton some 100000 workmen have ere
ated network of fine roads over the
entire front, making transport easy I'M
der the most difficult circumstances.
Their work has been so excellent that
the new roads are reported to be
watered better than those in most large
cities, permitting none of the impor-
tant movements Of Italian troops to be
revealed by dust clouds, factor of eX-
cceding Importance in the conduct OF
the offensive.

are now not nearly so chenp as they

Important Visitors

Judged by the attention that the
newspapers have given the 421 Ohio
boys and girls who won prizes in this
years corn-growing contest, they are
among the most important visitors
that New York has had in a long
time. The young Ohio corn growers
who contested for the prizes raised
on the average 80 bushels an acre.
which is twice as much as the ordi-
nary adult Ohio farmer raises. The
winner of the first prize got 1873
bushels from his acre, and the win
ner of the second prize, a girl, took
121 bushels from. hers.

blackbirds, field larks, wrens, native

most largely upon the boil weevil,
