RUSSIA WILL NOT
MAKE PEACE
Boynton, Preside !. Of Amer
ican-Russian Commerce
Chamber Gives Facts

New York, July 22.-Russia, as now
constituted, is as little likely to. make
a separate peace as is the United
States. in the opinion OF c. II. Boyn-
ton, of New York, president of the
American-Ru Chamber of Com
merce. Mr., Boynton, who is now in
Petrograd, has forwarded to the or
ganization, of which he is president, a
statement on the conditions in Russia,
in which he presents an optomistic
view of the Russian outlook. Where
ever separate peace has been mention
ed. it has been howled down with in
dignation, he writes. Efforts made by
the Russian extremists to create dis
orders have been overthroWn not by
armed force but by the force of public
opinion. IF in the future appearances
in Russia should seem alarming" Mr..
Boynton asserted, "the real situation
will be in the hands ola ministry com
posed Of the best Russia can Offer
He predicted that the task of re-or-
ganizing the governments policies will
be accomplished before many months.
Industrial operations, according to
Mr.. Boynton, would at present meet
insurmountable obstacles owing, to. the
requirements. of the war; but he de-
clared that American capital and mer-
chants interested in the Russian field,
should lose no time in preparing and
coupling themselves for the huge COM
mercial business which, in. his opinion,
is certain to be co-incident with the
end of the war. Mr.. Boynton's state

Thrilling Scenes as Mil Of
Prouty and Miller Is
DESTROYED

Newport, July. ;20.-One of the lead
ing industriesfeof this town was wiped
out this afternoon when a saw and
finishing mill Of Prouty and Miller,
employing SO hands was completely
destroyed by fire, which originated
from a bolt Of lightning whicfaenter-
ed the mill from the roof In a few
minutes the entire plant was a seething
mass of flames, which were famed
by brisk breeze from the northwest
making it impossible for the fire COM
panies OF this city and West Derby to
do effective work. Their efforts were
limited to keeping the fire confined to
the mill and saving the large amount
of lumber in the yards. sf
The mill was just closing for the
day at six O'Clock and some ssof the
employees had left Only rs were in
the building at the time of the fire
These had hard work to fight their
way out SO rapid was the progress Of
the flames. One man on the upper
floor was obliged to jump through a
window to escape. Heswas uninjured
A large amount of finished humber
and clapboardsTin the mill were also
destroyed. The firm was engaged on
a contract for the United States Gov

loss is estimated at $4,000 which is
partially covered by insurance 8

were in separate building, also des-
troyed, were not badly damaged It
is undecided whether the plant will
be rebuilt. This is the second time
| the plant has been destroyed by fire
in twenty years. The business was
established in 1861 by the late John
A. Prouty, O. c. Miller associating
himself with MI. Prouty in 1873. The
firm of Proutys and Miller is composed
of Ex.-Gov. George H. Prouty, Hon
