Press Staff Correspondent
PET. .OGRAD, May 31.-Minister Of
War Kerensky is successfully accom-
plishing his task of squirting Russia's
soldiers to fight. A new spirit of de-
termination was apparent today in
front dispatches from those sections
where the 'Lloyd-George of Russia"
has made his whirlwind campaign.
One incident on the southwest front
reported is typical. There Kerensky
and Albert Thomas, minister OF
munitions for France, both addressed
a conference of officers and soldiers.
Kerensky concluded with an impas-
stoned plea that the fighting men
give their lives to Russia 80 that the
fruits Of revolution might be secured.
The audience was galvanized into
action. Every man rose to his feet
shouting, I'VE swear it,
"A tumultous demonstration follow
ed in which Kerensky and Thomas
were borne from the meeting on the
shoulders of the soldiers. This new
sentiment of patriotism now being
inculcated in the army by Kerensky.
is reflected at home In Russia by q
steady sober undercurrent Of feeling
among all classes, a spirit OF unity
and of discarding of faction differ
ences that faces grave problems with
determination to overcome them.
The new ministers are not disguis-
ing the gravity of a number of issues
which the new democracy must face
The governments new anh-l1quor
DEGREES were published today and
emphasize by their rigorousness the
alarm felt over increase in drunken
ness throughout the country.
Under the new regulations, intoxi-
cation in public Is punishable with
eighteen months Imprisonment and
commission Of violence while drunk
with from six to eight years penal
servitude.

Mrs. w. B. Cogburn Entertains
for Miss Peak.

One of the most delightful after
noon parties of the season, vas a
linen shower in honor of Miss Flor
ence Peak at the home of Mrs. w.
B. Cogburn on Friday.
A number of Edgeieid's beauti-
ful and charming girls were there
to do homage to this important and
romantic occasion. Each guest was
met at the door by little Efie Allen
Lott and Sarah Hughes and pre-
sented with a lovely wedding bell
with the significant letters P and
NJ in gold most tastefully written
upon them.
As soon as all the guests arrived
a musical contest began, which was
OF great interest and very thrill
ing.
The contest was made up from
music on the lovely victrola in the
home. The prize, a box of station
cry, was presented by Mrs. j. l..
Minis to Miss Miriam Norris for
having answered the most questions,
but one having been omitted.
The shower idea was beautifully
and daintily carried out by little
Misses Sarah Hughes and Efie Allen
Lott, who tripped in with two grace
full parasols, under which was a basket
filled with lovely linen articles, all
of which were displayed and ad-
mired by every maiden present.
When the thrill of the contest
was over and the JOY of the shower
had past, an invitation came from
the lovely dining room, where ice
cream and angel cake was served
and enjoyed by the fortunate and
happy guests.

Thursday morning at 1920, a
bevy of Cocker girls and few others
gathered at the home Of Mrs. j. l..
Minis to shower the fair young
maiden, one of their coterie, who
was soon to become a bride.
Each guest was adorned with a
Cocker souvenir, a pennant, in blue

rations were blue cornhowers and
yellow nasturtiums, the Cocker col
ors.
