poggero.
II primo colpo serio aliinfluen-
"a di Rasputin e ALA camarilla di
cui era il principale agente, fu
dato ALA Duma. Mel suo storico
discorso del 20 novembre 1916
che provoco la caduta di Stur-
mer, Paolo Miliucov non attacco'
soItanto con veemenza j capi, per
cosi dire, del partito gelmanofi-
10, ma sopra tutto suoi "soste-
gni occult"
Non era quella, del resto, la
prima volta che Ia Duma 81 occu-
pava di Rasputin. Gia mel 1912,
il capo degli ottobristi Cpartito
ultramoderato), Gucicov PeX-
ministro della Difesa nazionale,
tentava di sollevare il velo su 10
scandalo del turpe profeta, guar
dandosi per altro dial pronunziare
il suo nome.
Rasputin non ignorava certa-
mente che 81 cercava di soppri-
merlo, cosi, nelpultimo periodo
della sua vita, 81 era fatto assai
diffidente. Una muta di poliziotti
vegliava giorno notte su di lui.
L'eX-ministro ProtopopoV Puo-
Imo piu esecrato di tutta la Rus
sia, aveva egIi stesso organizzato
.quella vigilanza. Ma oramai null
la piu potevaK impedire ritar-
dare la soluzione. Rasputin, come
e noto, flu assassinato il 20 di-
.cembre 1916.

General Hubbard made public tele-
gram from the provost marshal gen
eral which announced that the Presi-
dent would give consideration to no
appeals from the district boards ex-
cept on the claims of occupation which
is necessary to the success of the war.
When a persons claim of exemption
on this ground is denied by the district
board cit is not filed with the local
board at alD he must notify the dis
trict board instead of the President
that he desires to appeal to the PresI-
dent. All papers filed with the district
board will then be dispatched to Wash
ington. He will not be permitted to
file additional information in support
of his claim. His showing before the
President must be his showing before
the district board.

BUSINESS MEN OF
COUNTRY WANT A
DIFFERENT SYSTEM

Atlantic City. September B-Entire re-
organization of the governments pur-
chasing system was urged by speakers
today before the war convention OF
American business men. The war in
dustries board, recently created, has
failed to meet the situation it was de-
clared, by the lack of complete authority
under the law.
Formation of new government DEPART
inent, similar to the British ministry of
munitions was suggested by Waddi
Cathings of New York and others Mr..
Cathings proposal was contained in his
report as chairman Of a committee on
cooperation with the council of national
defense, named by the Chamber of Com
merce or the United States 1t carried
ment he given fun authority to fix prices
NOT only on sales to the government,
but on materials sold to the public as
well.
The subject of war prices and the duty
of industries in meeting the governments
war needs occupied the entire day. Sec
retaries Baker and Lane touched on
these topics and declared that the war
could not be won without the fullest CO.
operation by business.
Industry, Secretary Baker declared,
must impose on itself the same sacri-
fees demanded by the men called into
the trenches. Business, he said. de-
| serves no particular praise for foregoing
profits in war times, because it owes
the same duty to the government every
other class owes.
Secretary Lane called on business to
disprove the saying that America has
no soul higher than that of money max
| ing.
"You are here to answer" he said,
''by announcing that you have made
money, and that you will make money,
but that you can make war as well. You
are here to show the world that there
| is new American philosophy, a new
| day in which men are sized up not by
what they have, but by what they give.
you men do not want your sons to
| be able TO say they did their bit abroad
| while you stayed at home and made
| money out of the war. The worse dan
ger that we face is that of discomfort
| from within, it may grow out of domes-
| tic conditions and the business man can
| do much to keep it from breaking out
| by marking down his prices to the pub
| lie on the commonplace of life. You
must give whatever is necessary to the
| success of this great venture Every
business man should have in his office
| a picture of boy in khaki and If the
1 question OF price comes up let him cast
\ his eyes OH it and ask himself what
| that boy who is giving his life would dc
| in similar circumstances"
