We Must Mobilize, Not Paralyze,
and keep Business Going!"
Maintaining Normal American ia n d r of
Living at Least Possible Cost Per Capita Will
Get Results Where Panic Stricken Economy
Must Fail

Democratic: and this war is a war for
democracy.
A prosperous country can pay for a
war, an unprosperous country cannot.
A prosperous country can help the AL
lies, an unprusperous country cannot
effectively help herself
Keep business going forward so that
the country can effectively go for
ward. Keep money circulating, keep
people employed, keep wages good,
keep making money so that we may
have it to use and to sacrific in the
common cause. Be economical, which
MEANS be not wasteful.
Practice patriotic economy by buy
ing carefully and using efficiently.
Spend money; don't hoard it; thus
your neighbor will spend money and
not hoard it, for boarding stops the
wellspring OF wealth. lessening the
need for employment-poss.b in time
your own employment. 1t is boarding,
not war, that makes panic and dsas-
ter.
Keep the nation progressing while
the nation helps to keep the world
progressing. Civic improvements must
go on. road building must be carried
forward; railroads must renew their
equipment; factories must be kept
going; labor must be employed; mer-
chandIse must be produced, distribute
ed and used; homes must be kept UP.
The more we do, the more we can do.
The keynote is clearly sounded for
us when President Wilson says: 1T
is evident to every thinking men that
our industries, on the farm, in the.
shipyards, IN the mines, in the facto-
ries, must be made prolific and more
efficient"
Our industries are prolific only when
patronage makes them SO. Business
slackens when buying slackens. And
slackened business canont grow eff
cient, and more than stagnant water
can grow pure.
Idle business invites competition. If
American business grows inefficient
through idleness. foreign business will
make inroads upon 1t after the war.
This is a thought for every patriotic
American to consider now. 1t is for us
all of us-to keep our own industries
mobile and active so that they may
have the force and momentum to COM
pete when the smoke of battle clears.
Keep business going for our coun-
try's sake. War must be waged and
won with the sinews Of war.

Order Must Come Quickly.

Washington, Sept. 13.-With the Rus
sian embassy virtually cut off from its
foreign office and the state depart
ment receiving but little information

less, a deep conviction here today thai
Kerensky will soon have the new upris-
ing in Russia under control. 1t is felt
here that order must come out of the
chaos Immediately or a long drawn civil
struggle will result in which Russian
will fight Russian, while Germany
cheers. In congress, however, confidence
is waning in the provisional govern
ment.
Efforts to prevent further loans to
Russia until the fate of the Kerensky
government has been decided, will be
made when the senate takes up the SILL

peeted to be reported today by the fl

Several senators are prepared to point

eminent makes lending her any more

EXPERT OUTLINES
RUSSIAN SITUATION
Points Out That KOrnilOf by
His Rebellion Has Done
Good Work for Country
(By J. w. T. Mason)
written for the United Press)

New York, Sept. 13.-Conservatism
but not reaction is winning in Russia.
1t is probable that the constitutional
democrats will be given new power
when Kerensky reconstructs his cabinet.
Professor Milikuoff, the most power
full leader of the constitutional demo-
Gratis may return to his post as foreign
minister which he held in the first rev.
dictionary cabinet or be given some
other portfolio. The most important sup
port Kerensky has received since Gen
eral Korniloff' s revolt began has come
from the Miliukoff party whose natural
affiliations would lie with Korniloff's
program of discipline, rather than with
Kerensky's former theory of regard for
the sacred rights of the individual in
war time.
1t is apparent, however, that the Kor
niloff rebellion has awakened Keren-
sky's party to the danger that RussiA'
might fly apart if all were allowed to
do as they please. The constitutional
democrats have probably obtained as
surance from Kerensky that he will not
attempt to run the war, hereafter, to
assist socialistic propaganda.
Foreign Minister Te~reschenko's state
ment to the United Press today bears
ont this Interpretation. Teresehenko's
declaration that 1--WE have discovered
the iron hand is the only way" is the
most important pronouneement the Ker-
ensky government has made since Ker-
ensky became premier. 1t means that
though the Korniloff forces may be de-
feated in the field by the provisional

has been struggling. There would have
