Of Russia and Rumania that will
continue to fight in that theater
OF war in any event was urged
yesterday by M. Gavronsky, the
special commissioner of the old
Russian provisional government
who continues here. He declares
there will always be a Russian
front and the Russians on the
east and the Rumanians will
never stop fighting until a gen

STAFF AT WORK
Members of the Russian en-
bassy staff, as well as NJ. Gavron-
sky are continuing at their work
here as before except that since
the overthrow of the Kerensky
government their Offices are
known as the Dukhonin head
quarters instead of the Russian
legation: They claim that the
army Of the east andta part of
the navy Is. still loyal to the old
provisional regime and to Duk-
lhonin as commander of the
armies.
In statement issued by NJ.
Gavronsky yesterday he declared
that there would be no separate
peace between Russia and the
Central Powers, and that the idea
of it would not be tolerated by
an overwhelming majority of his
countrymen. ..
CHANCE FOR AMERICA
There will always be a Rus
sian 'front.'" he said. The armies
under General Dukhonin will
continue to fight, they will per-
NIT no separate peace and will
render a truce futile. A part OF
the front will surely remain firm.
"Fhe question which will soon
demand closer consideration is
whether the forces of the United
4 States, or at least a part of them,
cannot be advantageously en-
ployed where the eastern front
remains firm. | believe that they
could be so employed and that
the advantage to be gained there
by would be greater than any
that could be obtained on the
Western front where the Allies
are now on the offensive" ..~

" favors truce and peace with

the Petrograd radicals.
SPEECHES cHEERED
Yesterday deputation Of Rus

speeches were received with

CARNATIONS, known as the Nonparti-
san League, was elected by a large
plurality over the other candidates
at the election for this office. On
account of the reflections in this edi-
torial, and also on account of similar
slurring reflections that have
recently appeared in Washington and
New York papers in reference to Mr..
Baer's election, I am impelled to say
a few words in regard to the election
of Mr.. Baer and in regard to Mr.. Baer
himself, who will soon take his place
in this body. ="
I had hoped that Mr.. Baer would
be here this week to speak for himself,
but I am advised that certain impor-
tant engagements will prevent him
from reaching Washington for several
days and since he is not going to be
here for some time I al not longer
pass without notice the unfair COM
ments and references that have been
made as the reasons for his election.
I have known Mr.. Baer personally for
about 10 years. He is a splendid type
of young American manhood, who is
in every way worthy of a seat in this
body. %(Applause.) His loyalty and
patriotism needs no defense from any
one. To those who know him it speaks
for itself. He comes from a long line
of fighting rather than talking pat
riotic Americans. His father was one
of those brave men who assisted in
saving the Union. He father, although
q staunch democrat, carried his rifle
IN the front Of battle, and gave the

fullest measure of his support to the
plans of President Lincoln for carry
ing on the war between the North and
the South to final success (Applause.)
His brother sacrificed his life for his
country as a soldier in the Spanish
American War. John M. Baer him
self has been, al long as I have known
him a loyal and intensely patriotic
young American. His election was not
won, Is had been suggested, on n
paciist platform. (Applause.) His
| election was not won on a platform in
opposition to the present war. He ad-
vocated in his campaign, as far as I
know, nothing un-American and moth
ing disloyal or unpatriotic. In his
campaign Mr.. Baer announced time
and again that he was in favor of
CONSUMPTION of men and the carrying
on of this war to an early success, but
that he was equally in favor of the
CONSUMPTION of property to meet the
needed expense Of this war. (Ap-
plause.) Mr.. Baer during his campaign
strongly supported the plan that a
large part of the revenue for the ex-
penses of the present war should be
derived from taxes on large incomes
and on excess profits. This plan of
financing the war is one in which the
rank and the file of the people of my
State and of many other States as
well are much interested. This plan
for financing the war has been advo-
Gated by myself and by my colleague
(Mr. Young of North Dakota)
and by a number Of others in the
House and Senate since the war be-
gan.
1t is an issue to which the country
is much alive. It is a practical and
feasible way of financing the war. It
is a fair and just way Of securing, the
revenues necessary to carry on the
war. It involves the policy of distri-
buting as equitably as it is humanity
possible to do so the burdens of the
war among u people. It involves a
fundamental principle of taxation to
which I trust a majority in the Con-
gress will give favorable heed in the
final consideration of all event bills
to provide money for meeting the ex-
penses of the war. (Applause.)
In conclusion, let me say to the edi-
tor of the DesMoines Register and to
other editors of like kind who have

OLD DIES.

On Tuesday, August 7, occurred
the death of Guttorm S .Haugen at the
home of his son, G. S. Haugen. AL
tho not we'll for a number Of years,
Mr.. Haugen was able to be up, and
around until a few days before his
death. He was born in "Lesje
Prestegjeld" Guldbransdalen, Norway,
Dec. 10, 1927, and was married in
1859 and he with his wife and son,
came to this country, in 1884, residing
in Pope County, Mimi, until two
years later, when he came to Bot
tineau County, where they settled on
the homestead in Dalen Township,
now owned by his only son S. G..
Haugen, Mr.. and Mrs. Haugen shared
the hardships of the pioneer days and
their untiring efforts secured consid-
cradle property for them. During the
time of their activities they were
actively engaged in church and NUM-
cipal affairs and won for themselves
the esteem and friendship of the
community. Mrs. Haugen preceded
her husband in death IL years ago.
For the last few years MI. Haugen
has been deprived of his sight thus
adding to the seclusion of his life.
The funeral vas held on Friday at
8 o'clock at the Bethesda church and
interment in the cemetery adjoining
the church. Many friends extend
their sympathy to the S. G. Haugen
family in this their time of bereave-
ment.

that the farmers of North Dakota need

If the people throughout the rest of
our country do'their part in this war
as we'll as the farmers of North Da-
kota are certain to do their part, there
will be no occasion for any one to
fear but that monarchy and %autocracy
will receive a final death-blow in this
war, and that a reign of real demo-
cracy will have a new birth through
out the nations of the earth, and that
after the war the whole world will be
a happier, safer, and better place for
the rank and file of humanity in which
to live. (Applause.)
