Toxic, June 2S.--When the railroad
commission of technical and railroad
experts, bound for Russia to aid that
country In the solution of problems
of communication, arrived in Japan
from the United States, 1t was met at
Yokohama by Dr. Post Wheeler. the
American charge d'affaires, j. K.
Geary, president of the American AS
sociation of Japan and Baron Renne.
secretary of the Russian embassy at
Toxic.
On its arrival the commission gave
out a statement defining its purposes,
saying:
The advisory commission of rail-
road men has but one aim and object
in its mission to the Russian people,
and that is to render them the great
est possible service In their war
against what has now become a COM
mon enemy
Amcrica's First Duty.
1T is. and has been, the conviction
of the American government that its
first duty was to place at the disposal
of the allied powers whose interests
and aims have now become the inter-
ests and aims of the American people,
every available form of encourage
ment or assistance, material, fnan-
cial, economical and military, that
lies within it's power, to secure for civ
ilization the extension and perpetua-
ton of the great idea of democracy,
the vndication of which has now be-
come the issue upon which the war
is being fought,
Exchange of Ideas Necessary
"It is clear that some little time
must elapse before American material
aid can be dominant factor in Eu-
rope. 1t is the wish of the American
government to learn at first hand how
1t may serve at the earliest moment
the needs of its allies. AS the war has
progressed the entente powers have
been drawn closer and closer togeth-
err. each giving to the other that in
which it excelled, and taking from the
other that in which 1t was deficient.
We in America have not the expert
ence in modern warfare that even the
smallest of our allies can now claim,
but we believe that In problems of
railroading and transportation our
practice compares favorably with the
highest Developments known abroad
At Disposal of Russians.
"The American railroad commits
sion goes to Russia with no precon-
ceived idea of how it may best serve
its new sister in democracy. 1t goes
only to place its knowledge of railroad
practices which exist in America un-
reservedly at the disposal Of the Rus
sian people to use or reject as their
Judgment may dictate. There is no
man connected with the mission who
has any commercial or financial aims
whatsoever, and the commission is in
terested only in placing its knowledge
and experience at the disposal Of Rus
sia, IL the government of Russia can
in any way make use of them"

RECRUITING Is SLOW
FOR REGULAR ARMY

Washington, June 28.-Regular
army recruiting fell off heavily again
yesterday despite the great drive be-
ing made to fill regiments to war
strength. Unless a better showing is
made during the next three days, it
seems certain that the reserve for the
regular army will have to be taken
from the men drafted for the national
army.
1t was again said today that men
who join the regulars for the dura-
ton of the war can be certain of early
action at the American front soon to
be- established in France.

vote for the bill after it had been
carefully considered, opposed some of
its provisions as amazing and said
public excitement" for food control
legislation is pressing upon congress
with little public conception of the
powers the bill proposes to confer.
THE people only know of its pro-
visions in a general way" he said.
Congress also must consider the peo-
pie who are seeking more huge powe-
er. More than one of the Caesars
went mad by mere possession of un-
restrained power We have pressure
constantly to give more power"
The Massachusetts senator opposed
particularly the proposal that tho
American industries shall sell to for
eign nations as well as to the Ameri-
can government at low prices. He
said the minimum pricefixing provi-
sion holds over the heads of all busi-
ness and industry a deadly threat" ="
and protested against the exemption
of farmers from the boarding Sec
ton.
Opposing the "dry" legislation as
an injection of Il moral issue and not
war measure, the senator directed
attention to the fact that the effort to
impose prohibition on the country
has been mixed up with food con-
servation" by congress itself and not
by the administration. He declared
himself in favor OF prohibiting the
manufacture of distilled liquors dur
ing the war, but thought beer and
wines should be permitted.
II now come to the controlling fac
tor in this matter" he continued. "A
factor in winning the war. Abolish
all the breweries at stroke, throw
100000 people out of employment
and deprive the hundreds of thous-
ands of laboring and other people
who take their glass of beer and see
no harm in it, and you will engender
dissatisfaction and resentment"
Attacks Extremists.
Telling how New England dairy in
tcrests depend upon brewers by-prod-
ucts for cattle feed, the senator said
stoppage of brewing would send many
milk cattle to the slaughter house and
that 1t also wouId be likely to double
the price of bread by suddenly reduc-
ing by 40 per cent the supply of yeast,
made largely from brewing products.
Germany, Senator Lodge declared,
has not restricted alcoholic beverages
in any way, while France gives her
soldiers regular wine rations, 'and," ="
he added, Il think nobody will dis
pute that the German and French
soldiers are of good fighting quality.
It is idle to say that the men who
drink little light wines and beer are
undermined"

Brazil is no longer a neutral in the
world war and the German empire
has another enemy arrayed against it.
Having previously revoked its pol
icy of aloofness so far as it affected
rhe hostilities between the United
States and Germany, Brazil now has
come definitely into the open and an.
nQunced that it can no longer be con-
sidered neutral
Although no announcement has
been made as to whether the South
American republic will actually enter
into hostilties by it's revocation of
neutrality it definitely aligns Itself
morally on the side of the United
States and the entente.
Canadians Win Again.
The Canadians have taken another
hack at the German lines protecting
Lens and have been rewarded with a
further encroachment upon their OBJ
jective.
Striking on a two-mile front south
of Lens they stormed and captured
German first line positions before
Avion and also the village of Leau-
Vette. They defeated in their on
slaughts men of the crack Prussian
guard, and the Fifth Grenadier guards
whose machine gun and rifle fire and
the fact that the attacking force had
to cut through wire entanglements
could not stay them.
Are Close to Lens.
When the battle ended and the Ca
hadians began their work of consoli-
dating newly won positions their line
had been extended to within one mile
of the center of Lens, the fall of
which under such tenacious assaults
as have been made recently seemingly
cannot be long delayed.
On the front in France and Belgium
there have been only bombardments
South of st. Georges the Germans
entered French trenches but later
were elected from them, suffering
heavy casualties.
In the Russian theater the fighting
is still spirited in Galicia.
In the Austro-Italian zone infantry
attacks have again ceased for the mo-
ment and only artillery duels are talk
ing place. Patrol engagements and
artillery duels continue to feature the
fighting in Macedonia.
