Sturmer, Ex-Premier
Of Russia, Is Dead

PEIROGRAD. Sept 3.-Boris Vlsdi-
mirovitch Sturmer, former Premier
and Foreign Minister, died to-day from
uramia. He had been i'll for long
time.
NJ. Sturmer began his career in the
Ruling Senate in 1872, having taken
mis- law degree at Petrograd Univer-
sity. At the time Of the coronation
of Emperor Nicholas Sturmer was
Governor Of the Noygorod govern
ment, but was called to Petrograd TO
organize the ceremony, and for many
years after was master Of ceremonies
al the imperial court. He was elected
president of the Board of the ZemstyO
in the Government of Tver in 1892
but in 1894 was again appointed Gov
ernor at Novgorod. In 1896 he was
made Governor Of Yaroslav
Sturmer became president Of the
Council Of Ministers in 1915, succeed
ing VI. Goremykin.
Sturmer, with the late monk Raspu-
tin and former Minister of the Interior
ProtopopofF. formed the trio known
as "the dark forces" which aroused
the Russians 20 revolt against the re-
gime Of Emperor Nicholas. In June
last Sturmer was indicted under law
which provided severe punishment for
the arbitrary transgression by a Rus
sian Official of the limits Of his right
tul power. Recently he had been in
carcersted in the fortress of IS. Peter
and Paul, and late in August was re-
ported TO be unconscious. as the result
Of his illness, with little hope for his
recovery.

" store tne monarchy was DelHB
disclosed, the Germans were
taking possession of Riga. The two
events are interdependent. Russia's
political crisis grows with her military
disasters. Reaction follows defeat.
With the continued crumbling away of
the Russian front the magnificent Rus
sian revolution is being exposed to
ever greater dangers.
Two months ago, on July I, the Rus
sian revolution reached its apogee.
That was the day when Korniloff
struck his successful blow in Galicia.
Revolutionary Russia was at its might
lest when military Russia was tri-
umphant. But that triumph did not
last long. The army mutinied and be-
gan TO retreat Since then free Russia
has been moving downward along a
steep incline. An elemental wave OF
patriotism gripped the socialist repub-
lie. The conservative forces Of the
nation have arisen 10 combat the eX-
tremist radical elements.
There is much good in such phe-
nomenon, but there is even much more
peril in it. 1t was a good thing for
Russia TO get rid Of the utopian radi-
Gals, of the visionary internationalsts,
Of the destructive anarchists. For that
reason II was said IN many quarters
that the Galician retreats were more
beneficial TO Russia than harmful. Many
will now claim that the loss of Riga
will prove of great political value to
Russia.
The fact is that no one can tell where

Russia Peril in Rigas Fall
By Isaac Don Levine

the conservative wave generated oy tne
military disasters will stop. II may
purify and consolidate the New Rus-
sia. But il may also restore Czarism.
There is the great danger The mon
archistic plot uncovered in Petrograd
was solely the result of the Galician
military debacle. But in moral ehect
the fall Of Riga is hundred times
more shocking to Russians than the
Galician disasters. Proportionately 1t
may produce monarchistic and reaction
ary forces.
Russia is just emerging from the
radical tide and being engulfed by a
conservative wave. The friends OF
Russia who rejoice at her defeats as
producers Of conservative national
forces are overlooking the fact that the
conservative sweep is usually the fore
runner of a reactionary wave. Sign
of this wave are already IN the air. ! ne
"blood and iron" warning of herensKy
at Moscow last week was directed
against the coming reactionary ele-
ments. He saw their approach, mat
he was not mistaken is proved by the
revealed monarchistic plot.
The fall of Riga will awaken the pest
that there is in Russia, a keen realiza-
tion of the gravity of the moment. AT
the same time it will stimulate the ac-
tivities Of the monarchists and under
ground counter-revolutionists. The faI!
Of Riga means to New Russia increased
internal danger. While it may Strength
en- the hands of keren;ky ana NOT
niloF, it will multiply the difficulties
confronting them. -,
will the Germans be satisfied with
Riga? II they continue TO advance, re-
action will raise its head in Russia to
an alarming extent. On the condition
of the Russian front hinges the future
Of the Young republic.

Bad Cartridges
General Crozier Asks That
Board Be Named to Learn
Cause of Defect

WASHINGTON. Sept. g. Steps tow
ard an investigation Of the supplying Of
defective cartridges 10 American forces
in France were taken to-day by Briga-
dier General Crozier, chief Of ordnance,
and by the Senate Military Committee.
General Crozier's letter to Adjutant
General Mccain, asking fer an inquiry,
says:
Certain small arms ammunition sup
piled to the eXpeditionary force in
France has been found TO contain de-
fective primers. and the commander of
the force had been warned and duly
advised in the premises by this depart
ment recommend that a board,
whose membership shall include at
least one competent chemist, be ap-
pointed TO investigate the cause Of the
defect which has oeen fognd in these
primers. the methods Of inspection
which are intended TO guard against
defects in small arms ammunition the
adequacy of the measures taken in con-
sequence of this incident. and all the
circumstances connected Herewith and
to make full report upon the subject
Baker To Be Asked to Explain
The Senate committee decided to call
Secretary Baker before 1t tomorrow
for explanation of the matter, and will
then decide whether TO pursue an in
vestigation Of its own. Whether the
inquiry suggested by General Crozier
shall be made will be decided by Sec
retary Baker when the request reaches
him tomorrow.
Any defective ammunition which may
have been supplied the navy by the
Ordnance Bureau will be traced and re-
turned for remanufacture. While the
faulty cartridges comprise about per
cent Of the army's stock, General
Crozier said. about 10 per cent will have
10 be reprimed, since the slow-tring
cartridges are mixed with others turned
out from the Frsnkford Arsenal during
a certain period last spring. New
primers will be attached TO all still in
this country and the quantity held by
the expeditionsry force will be used for
target practice.

SOLDIERS HOME
LOSES FEDERAL AID
Amount Involved is About $4,000 a
Year-Congressman Dale Hopes to
Straigllten Difficulty.

MONTPELIER, Jan. S.-The war de-
partment has cut off federal aid to the
Vermont Soldiers Home at Benning
ton on the grounds that it IS private
institution. This viii be a surprise to
great many people as it was the gen
eral opinion that the soldiers home
was IN every sense a state owned insti-
tuition. The amount received from the
federal government depended on the
number of inmates, 800 being allowed
for each old soldier. The amount paid
has been in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
Vermont is not the only state to
suffer. Connecticut, New jersey and
others are Ill the same boat. 1t came
about through a complaint made by
soldier in Wisconsin who believed he
was not getting the right sort Of care.
An investigation followed. The law
specifies that the aid shall be given only
10 state owned institutions The
Wisconsin institution was found to be
privately owned and controlled. The
investigation continued to other states
and many others were found to be
similarly situated. All these were no
titled they could not be paid under the
law. Some of the states then took
over the homes and the appropriations
were reserved.
On account Of the deficiency in the
income Of the Vermont home a bill to
increase the appropriation from $32,-
GOO to $44 goo has been placed with
the revision committee by Representa-
tive Root of Bennington.

Dale took the papers relating 10 the
