Final Exhortation to Pa
tri0tisIn Made to Public
and Soldiers.
ARMY COMMANDERS
PASS WORD ALONG
Not Yet Definitely Known How Order
Will Be Received by Men at Front
Leaders Tell People Nation Must
Fight or Lose Everything Gained by
RevoIution-Hope to Make Imme-
diate Move to French Front.

Petrograd, May 2S.-Virtually all the
divergent political factions. all class
organizations, counseis and even the
socialists leaders with the exception
Of the extreme lefterists today echo
the appeal Of Minister OF War Keren-
SKY to the troops and applaud the new
order Of the day, Advance"
1t remains to be seen how the army
itself will receive this final exhortation
to patriotism and the defense of Rus
sias newly-w won freedom.
Constant efforts have been made the
last two months by representatives not
only Of the government but of the sol
diers to bring home to the army that
abandonment Of the warfare would
mean loss Of all that has been gained
in the revolution. 1t Is confidentially
believed that this last call will move
the army to a realization Of the situ-
alton. All the commanders have added
their appeals to the order OF Minister
Kerensky and they all emphasize the
necessity of not only defending the
country against the enemy but of an
imme date advance to relieve the
pressure upon the allies which Ger
many has been able to exert by trans
ferring the bulk of her troops to the
western front.
Isrse Appsals.
Il. General Alsxieits terselyt For
ward! Advance to attack the enemy
General Brussieloff says: 1T is
necessary to conserve and consolidate
freedom. The soldiers must overthrow
and defeat the enemy. Shame and dis
honor to those who have weak
spirit"
General ORA gomiroff is less placonic.
IAN advance upon the enemy he says,
"is an immediate necessity. The en-
emy is taking advantage of our pass
iivity to leave this front open and send
forces westward The French and Brit
ish are honestly doing their duty as
our allies. They are saving our new
freedom which otherwise we would
lose But soon their advance must
wear itself out and then there will be
no one to help u.s.
Premier Lvoff writes: /"Honor de-
mands our activity. We are drowned
in speeches and words. The muscles
of our organism are being atrophied.
NJ. Skobeleff, the new socialist min
lister Of labor, joins the chorus. with
the declaration: "Our present task is
to advance.
"1 appeal to your intelligence and
your hearts. If the enemy really want
ed peace he would know how to go
about It. Wake up. Trust your COM
manders."

FINDS WEST IS LOYAL.
Secretary MeAdoo Concludes Trip
IntereSt Of War Loan,

Interest Of War Loan.
Washington, May 2S.-The great
middle west will stand without pro-
test or complaint its full share Of the
war tax burden. It will tako over its
full proportion Of liberty bonds and
other government loans necessary 20
help the government financially.
This Is the sentiment found by Sec
retary McAdoo, who returned Sunday
from trip in which he visited cities
In nine Of the central western states.
II found" he said tonight, Tho most
gratifying disposition on the part Of
the people everywhere to bear the nee
essary additional taxation required for
the war and for the maintenance Of
sound economic conditions in the
country.
II found, too" he continued, "a
splendid disposition among the peo-
pie to purchase liberty bonds. A gen.
eral distribution Of the bonds among
small and large investors alike would
be the most helpful thing for business
and tho government. can not en-
phasize toN strongly the Importance Of
q wide popular subscription to the lib
erty loan"
Continuing a discussion Of the taxa
ton plans for the country Mr.. McAdoo
said:
II spoke to the business heads Of
the west specifically Of the necessity
Of raising no less than 1880. .000, 900
in new taxes and the response Of every
audience was instantaneous and graf
flying. While every one wants the
new taxes to be equally distributed,
there Is q willingness. in fact, eager
ness, to make the necessary sacrifices
to strengthen the governments fin-
ances and to support to the utmost the
gallant men who are going TO the front.
'There IL no objection on the part
OF the great mass Of the people to
the proposal to raise 1880, 100000 by
taxation. I found some opposition to
the amount, on the part Of few
small groups Of business men, but
most Of them seemed reconciled to the
amount when the situation was ex-
palined. The real differences of opin-
Ion are about tho items Of taxation,
and not about the total amount.
1T was. think, generally recognized
that nothing could be moro unsound
and unsafe than to attempt to finance
the war almost wholly by bond issues.
az was overwhelmed with messages
to the president Of the enthusiastic,
loyal and devoted spirit Of the people.
Everywhere intense desire was ex-
hibited to bring the war to Z quick
and successful conclusion: everywhere
there was eagerness to learn how each
citizen could best help the government
II carrying on the wan r..s.
