A medicinal preparation like DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, that has real

DECLARATION OF GOVERNMENTS
POLICY ACCEPTED BY REP
RESENTATIVES.
FURTHER DEMANDS ARE MET
Concessions Are to Be Made to the
Socialists, of Whom Six Groups
Will Be Represented in
the New Ministry.

Petrograd, May 1.-THE cabinet
trouble has been settled. A DECLARE
ton of the governments policy has
been accepted by the representatives
of the council of workmen's and SOL
diers' delegates, with merely slight
alterations, and was signed by them.
During the sitting NJ. Tchernoff, a
National Socialist, was appointed min
ister of agriculture, and M. SkObeleff,
vice-president of the council of work
mems and soldiers delegates, was ap-
pointed minister of labor. 1t was also
decided to be desirable to include in
the government Feodor Kokoshkine,
Constitutional Democrat and a pro
fessor at the University of Moscow,
and NJ. Tseretelli, member Of the
council Of wOrkmen's and soldiers
delegates. The duty of these men will
be to prepare for the constituent as
sembly. In all six groups of Social
lists are to be represented in the new
cabinet.
The Constitutional Democratic par
", which practically controls the gov
eminent, has consented to its two
ministers, Prof. Miliukoff, minister Of
public instruction, and A. I. Shinga-
rolf, minister of agriculture, remain
ing in office. This is in spite of the
resignation of Foreign Minister Milu-
koff. which is now definite.
The government drafted a declara-
ton describing concessions and it is
understood that this declaration was
handed to the council with a threat
that in the event Of non-acceptance
the entire cabinet would resign. The
most important points covered are in
connection with the foreign policy
The document begins with a state
ment that the governments aim is the
attainment of general peace without
conquest of other nations, depriving
them of their, national sovereignty or
their territory; in word, peace with
out annexations or contributions.

CHILD LABOR LAW HEARING
SENATORS DISCUSS PLAN 10
SUSPEND MEASURE.
Overman Feels Out Sentiment to Let
Children Do the Work"
During War.
Washington, May ia movement
iS ON In conpresa to SuSpend the child

Washington, May ia movement
is on in congress to suspend the child
labor law during the war.
Going on the theory that the selec-
tive draft will draw from fields and
factories hundreds of thousands of
men, the plea may be made to let the
children do the work"
Up to the present the movement
for suspension of the law has pro-
crossed no further than conferences
promulgated by some of the southern
senators, led by Overman of North
Carolina.
Whether we initiate an effort to
suspend the child labor law during
the war depends upon the outcome of
conferences now going on" said Ov-
erman. Il sm trying to consult all
those senators who favored adoption
of the bill first and see what their at
titude is. l probably will know next
week what we will do"
Interviews with several southern
senators who strongly supported the
law developed that they were not COM
mitted irrevocably against suspend
ing it now. Others declared they saw
no good argument in favor of doing so
even temporarily. Senators who IA
thered the bill say it never can be
suspended.
Coupled with this movement, there
rs talk Of exempting some children
from school during the war to allow
them to work on farms and in fac
tories. The department of labor is
strongly opposed to this. however. Re-
ports from England on the operation
of the school exemption plan there
show 1t is failure.
The children's bureau of the de-
partment made public the following
excerpt from a report of the chief
medical officer of the British board
Of education, who says:
ITO draw the child from school at
an earlier age than that contemplated
by the law is to arrest his education
on the threshold of the years when he
is probably just commencing to as
simulate and consolidate the instruc-
ton he has received. His introduc-
ton to labor at this time renders him
liable to conditions of strain detri-
mental to his physical we!lbeing."

u. S. CAN FURNISH
ENOUGH RIFLES FOR
WAR, OFFICIAL SAYS

America is ready for the war so far
as rifles and ammunition are concern
ed Frank A. Scott, chairman of the
general munitions board of the Coun-
cial of National Defense in the second
issue of the "Official Bulletin" the new
Government publication, has issued the
following statement:
eve are in position now to assure
the country that rifles and ammuni-
ton will be ready for American troops
as fast as they can be raised and
otherwise prepared for foreign service.
There are on hand more than enough
rifles for the rifle-carrying men of an
army of approximately a million, and
arrangements have now been made to
provide for the arming of a larger
force and for the reserve which the
wastage under modern war conditions
makes necessary. Plans have been
completed to atek advantage of the
small-arms factories developed in our
country as the result of the European
war, and convert them to our use. In
addition to that Government arsenals
are being expanded. In general it
may be stated that small arms, includ-
ing ammunition, can be provided for
practically any number of men that
the country may call to the colors.
Manufacturing facilities for the
Springfield rifle are not adequate to
supply the number required for the
larger force which the United States
may decide to send abroad and to re-
place the wastage of such a force.
Fortunately the existing small-arms
factories which have been turning out
quantities of RIDES for the British
army are equipped to manufacture the
Enfield rife in more than sufficient
number. Therefore it has been de-
cided to adopt the Enfield rifle, but
manufactured to use American am
munition, and to issue these rifles to
our troops to such extent as may be
necessary.
"Steps are being taken to provide
for the additional quantities of field
artillery necessary for modern battle
conditions through the extension Of
plants already in operation for the
Allies and through the introduction
and adaptation of new plants that
have not hitherto manufactured war
material. The general munitions
board is endeavoring to develop these
various resources to the fullest ca
pacity, in order that the country may
be prepared for any developments of
the military situation, no matter how
serious they may prove.
