REVOLT
WRECKED PLANS
OF THE ALLIES
Big Offensive for 1917 Held
Up Because of Army
Crisis.

London, June 6.-The military cor
respondent Of the. Times. discussing
the Russian situation. says in effect
that the Russian revolution has
wrecked the plan Of the entente allies
campaign for 1917.
The writer says that the situation
of the Russian army before the out
break of the revolution was extremely
favorable. The losses of 1915 were
being made good, the depots filled, a
great merger of new divisions Great
ed and guns and munitions were sud-
denly increasing In quantity.
The correspondent says:
1.-The allies campaign in the west
must be judged in relation to the an
ticipation of the timely cooperation
of the Russian armies. which was.
early in March, two or three times SUI
perior numerically to the Austro-Ger-
man facing them. Thanks to the de-
votion of the western allies. bril-
liant campaign by the gallant Rus
sian armies seemed assured and their
Intervention was timed for a certain
date. but when the date came on Rus
sian intervention occurred"
The writer pays a hearty tribute
to the efforts and sacrifices of Russia
since the beginning of the war.

Mexico City. June 6.-Regulation
bull fights now are prohibited In
Mexico by decrees of President Car
rama but, recently, contests in which
the bull is not killed, known as
'novilladas" have been sanctioned.
These have not been particularly
popular with the bull fight enthusi-
asts who regard them much in the
ssane light that baseball fanatics IN
the United States would regard n ball
game in which no batter was allowed
to do anything but bunt.
A delegation Of society women in
terested in Red Cross work called on
General Carranza recently >and re-
quested that he sanction a contest for
the benefit of the Red Cross in which
the bull would be killed. They ex-
planned that it was feared that II on
" the denatured performance were
advertised the receipts of the benefit
performanc would not greatly swell
the treasury Of the Red Cross. Cen
eral Carranza declined to comply
with the request.

OF LUTHERANS
Three Synods to be United
at Big Meeting Which
Opens in St. Paul.

st. Paul. June 6.-Three thousand
delegates from all parts Of the United
States and Canada are here to attend
a. Joint. meeting Of the three branches
OF the Norwegian Lutheran church,
called for the purpose Of effecting a
union and the formation of single
church.
The meeting began today and will
continue until June Is when final
plans for the reorganized church are
expected to be completed.
The consolidation Of three bodies
the Norwegian Lutheran synod. the
United Norwegian Lutheran church
and the Hauge synod-will effect 81
500 congregations. The three branches
now are divided merely on doctrinal
differences involving principally the
distinction between the "high" and
the "low'' church. The plan to unite
has been decided on after many con-
ferences during the past decade and
the organization of the new church
will be purely a formality.

Paris. June GA semi-official note

American military chiefs at which a
plan Of organization for the new
American army was elaborate in

The note says: .,sas4 F,
"It will surprise none that the mar
shall took a predominating part in the
plan, literally everything which he ad-
vised being adopted. His collabora-
tors styled him themselves the god
father of the American army
"At moment when the first ele-
ment Of this army is getting ready to
take a place on our front beside our
allies the French government consid-
cred it only fitting to confirm the
marshal in his sponsorship. The min
lister Of war feels that the moral au-
thority attaching to his person and
high situation as we'll as his great ex-
perience in the present war will en-
able him, in accordance with tho
American high command, to give to
the new troops all the necessary ad-
vice and direction, SO as to prepare
them morally and materially for the
| effort they are called upon to make.
The program for this collaboration
has already been drawn UP. Marshal
Joffre is officially entrusted with the
mission Of putting constantly at the
disposal of our great sister republic
what France has learned in three
years of campaigning"

ton on the Gallipoli peninsula and in
northern France said on his recent re-
turn here from the western front:
II am convinced that the German
resistance will be broken by June and
I hardly think that the war will last
another year. The duration Of the
German resistance after the main line
is broken can only be guessed at.
Once Germany is beaten on the west
ern front Turkey and Austria will
soon cry enough and collapse like a
house Of cards"
General Legge said that the wealth
or and the mud had all along been q
greater obstacle than the Germans
on the western front and had pro-
longed trench fighting.
Speaking Of German warfare he
said that while on the western front
ION undoubted evidence" he was
shown barn doors which bore marks
indicating that men had been cruci-
ned upon the doors with bayonets;
that he saw evidences at certain

ABSENCEOFA A
STRONG POWER
FELT IN JAPAN
Statesmen Seem Blind to the
Political Currents Of the
World, Says Okuna.

Toxic, June 6.-(Correspondence Of
the Associated Press. ss.)-"Bureaucratic
statesmen Of Japan seem blind to the
political currents of the world and
try to stem the rising tide by means
of old fashioned ideas and exploded
doctrines" asserted Marquis Shigen-
obu Okuma. the former premier and
opponent of the present Terauchi ad-
ministration, in commenting upon the
recent election. In this election the
Terauchi government was victorious.
Absence of strong controlling
pan. added Marquis Okuma. The con-
sequence was. in his opinion, that the
people have no fixed or stable political
views and change their opinions with
chameleon-like rapidity.
The former premier remarked that
about fifteen years ago when Prince
Katsura was at the head Of the gov
ernment, the work Of the Russian
scholar, Mr.. Pobiedonotseff, in sup
port Of despotism was translated into
Japanese and printed copies of the
the government officials throughout
Japan. Subsequently, as the result
of war with Japan, Russia became a
constitutional country, but among the
Japanese there are some who are still
Intoxicated with Pobiedonotseff's po-
littcal philosophy.
Statesmen Stand Aloof.
The result. he said. is that states
men who are imbued with these politi-
cal dostrines try to stand aloof from
political parties. ignore the rights Of
the diet. and bring public opinion into
submission to ,official authority. In
Russia, too. he declared. there were
some statesmen who believed in the
virtues Of Pobiedonotsen's political
philosophy, and tried to carry on q
despotic system Of administration. The
result had been the downfall Of the
Russia; he declared, but also in Ger
many hotbed Of bureaucracy-that
bureaucratic statesmen appear to be
awakening to the political needs of the
age. The ex-premier continued:
There appears to be nobody anx-
ious to lick healthy public opinion
into shape and lead 1t along the right
paths. Politicians. scholars, and re-
ligionists alike are in ono comprehen-
sive mass Of lethargy and degenera-
ton. and an effective power to con-
the midst Of the general degeneration.
however. great credit should be ac-
corded to the press for the way in
which It is endeavoring to bring a
healthy public opinion into existence.
Tho fate Of the japanese people will
not be decided by the recent general
election. Sometimes the unjust may
assume ascendency over the just.
Political progress in Japan in any
marked degree can hardly be expected
till an effective controlling power ap-
pears in society"
He. believed that. to further the
progress OF constitutional government
IN Japan, measures shontn % taken
To- develop the political thoug ght of the
nation whichFis now in Condition Of
chaos.
