CRISIS IN RUSSIA
MINISTER OF JUSTICE PRESENTS
ALARMING DIAGNOSIS OF IN
TERNAL SITUATION
NEW LIBERTY NOW A MENACE
Unless There Is an Infusion of New
Spirit in Army, Russia Will Not
Long BE Able to Go
on With War.

PetrOgrad, via London, May TO-
The council of soldiers and workmen's
deputies has issued an appeal to the
army in which it declares that Ger
man imperialism is seeking to destroy
revolutionary Russia and enslave the
Russian people. 1t appeals to the sol
diers to defend Russia with all their
power, and declares that a separate
peace is impossible. The appeal says
that the only solution of the war must
be general peace among all nations
by common agreement. The manifesto
concludes with begging the soldiers
not to renounce their offensive, and
warns against fraternizing with the
enemy, which it says cannot end the
war.
In an impassioned appeal to dele
gates from the front at a meeting in
Petrograd, A. #. Kerensky, minister of
justice, made the most alarming dag
nosis Of Russia's internal situation
that has come from any official since
the revolution.
The minister Of justice, who hereto
fore had made only the most Optimis-
tic and reassuring declarations, con-
fessed that his confidence had left him
and that he feared disaster.
'I came to you,' he said, because
my strength is at an end. I no longer
feel my former courage nor have l
my former conviction that we are con-
scientfous citizens. not slaves lii re-
volt.
'As affairs are going now, it will
be impossible to save the country.
Perhaps the time is near when we will
have to tell you that we can no longer
give you the amount Of bread you ex-
pect or other supplies on which you
have right to count The process
Of change from slavery to freedom
is not going on properly. We have
tasted freedom and are slightly intox-
icated; what we need is sobriety and
discipline"
M. Kerensky's declaration repre-
sents to large extent the public opin-
ion in Petrograd. Unless there is a
quick infusion of new spirit
in the army and a new understands
ing of freedom among the masses, and
unless the energy which now is being
used to bring about peace is trans
formed into energy working for the de-
tense of the country, it is feared that
Russia will not long be able to go on
with the war.

BRITISH PUSHING ON
REcAPTURE THE GREATER PoR.
TIoN or BULLEcOURT.
RepuIse Violent German Attacks and
Take a Good Grip
on Roeux.

London, May 15.-After days of in
tensive fighting, in which positions
have changed hands numerous times,
the British troops have recaptured the
greater portion of the village of Bulle-
court and repulsed violent counter-at-
tacks delivered by the Germans east
of the village.
Along the Scarpe river, to the east
of ArraS, there also have been san
culinary encounters, but again the adj
vantage rested with Field Marshal
Haigs forces.
Portions of the village of Roeux have
been taken by the British and another
step forward has been gained by them
on the western slopes of Greenland
hill.
There has been no letup in the air
fighting which has been going on since
the spring offensive began. Eleven Ger
man airpIanes were accounted for on
Saturday by the British-ten of them
in air battle and nine by an antiair
craft gun. The British themselves lost
six machines.
On the southern end of the line held
by the French the Germans Sunday
morning made strong attacks on the
plateau of Craonne, on the, sector north
Of Reims and in the region of Maisons
de Champagne.
Not alone did the French put down
all three attacks with the fire of their
artillery and rifles, causing heavy cas-
ualties, but they pushed back the Ger
man line and in addition made pris-

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take Glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
II Bladder bothers you-Drink

the kidneys, they become overworked
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress. particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid liv-
err, sleeplessness, bladder and urinady
irritation
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or IL bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them 10 normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to
keep the kidneys and urinary organs
clean, thus avoiding serious kidney
disease.

WILMINGTON SHORT OF WATER
Undiscovered Leak In Main Believed
to be RESPONSIBLE.

Wilmington is In a serious condi-
ton as to water supply, her reservoir
running dry last week Tuesday. 1t is
stated On good authority that a half
hour of fire fighting would use every
drop that has been stored In the re-
servoir since that time, and house
holders are outstanding every drop
that none be lost AS result of the
water supply giving out, pipes have
frozen up all over the village and
much trouble has resulted. , -
The Ludington factory was cut OFF
from the main line, but even then the
supply did not accumulate and it is
supposed there is leak somewhere.
Users OF faucets are also charged
with letting the water run nights to
prevent freezing and drastic measures
will be taken to find out just the
cause of the present shortage. 81
Should a fire start 1t is feared the
whole village would go, as there is no

GIVES HOSPITAL $4,000
Barre Institution Receives Another
Donation from Ira C, Calef.

Oonation from ira y. Cdier.
Again IRA c. Calef has become the
benefactor of hospital. A check
for $4,000 has been sent the Barre
City hospital by him to be applied on
the mortgage debt of the institution.
This $4,000 contribution makes Mr..
Calefs gifts to the Barre hospital to-
tai $4,000 in slightly more than two
years When the proposal to erect
the new building was projected Mr..
Calef contributed $4,000 conditional.
ly and then added $4,000 to the hos
pitfalls endowment fund when the con-
struction of the new edifice was near
ing completion. Last fall he increased
his contribution to the endowment by
adding another $4,000 and also paid
$4,000 toward reducing the debt on
the new structure. Mr.. Calef's gift
applied to the obligations of the hos
pital corporation reduces the mort
gage debt to $4,000, as against hos
pital property which is estimated to
be worth 100000. The endowment
fund is $4,000. The members of the
corporation and the people of Barre
generally are very much pleased at
the continued Frightening of the finan-
cial horizon of the institution.
