 Appreciation Of AmeEican Attitude.
 Petrograd, via London. March 24.-- Warm appreciation of the cordial feel ing shown by the people and gov- ernment of the United States toward the new regime was expressed today by Foreign Secretary Milukoff in statement to the Associated Press.
 ''The old regime was a heavy drag. not only on Russia's relations with her allies but on all foreign rela- tions.'' he said. s"Thousands of tele- grams of congratulation and good wishes are coming from the United States, not to speak of the formal rec osnition of the provisional govern ment. This has served to show that it is only the old regime which has been standing for a long time in the way of entire solidarity between the United States and Russia"
 Prof. Milukof emphasized his satis- faction at the attitude of the Amer ican ambassador, David R. Francis, toward the political change in Russia. He said that the extent to which the new Russian government has won the l sympathies of the American public
 was indicated by a telegram he had
 received from Jacob H. Schiff of New York, who was long opposed to the Russian autocracy, wishing succesa for the new government In it's task 5 l There is no doubt he continued.
 that the addition of Russia to- the
 ranks of the modern democratic coun-
 tries will strengthen the adhesion of the United States to the cause of the allies. Free countries may have con- l hdence in Russia, especially as we now
 find all free countries allied for the same aims"

DUTCH MISSION MAKES
YELLED EMBARGO THREAT
Members Hint at Aid for Germany
if Denied United States
Grain and Coal.


AMSTERDAM, August 16.-'Tf we fail
to persuade the American government to
permit continuance of the supply of
grain it will mean misery and economic
ruin for Holland unanimously declared
the members Of the official Dutch mission
who are expected to sail for the United
States this week, and who were inter-
viewed In body by the Associated Press
Whether such an eventuality would ulti-
mately force Holland into the war, the
members Of the mission did not care to
prophesy. This, they commended, depend
ed on the capacity of the Dutch people to
bear privations and on urforeseeable cir
cumstances. but it would manifestly make
Hollands position most serious and would
make her more than ever dependent on
the central powers. to whom she would
presumably be obliged to turn to try to
get grain, as well as the present essential
coal, necessarily in exchange for equiva-
lent concessions. and in which case the
American aim Of stopping Dutch food
exports toward Germany Sould still be
defeated.
The principal spokesman of the mission
was Joost van Vollenhoven. former man
aging director and still a director OF the
Netherlands Overseas Trust and manag-
ing director of the Netherlands Bank.

CHINA'S EXPLANATION OF
DECLARATION OF WAR
Peking States Officially Reasons for
Severing Peaceful Relations
With Germany and Austria.

China's official explanation of the
declaration of a state of war with
Germany and Austria Hungary has
been received at the Chinese legation
here. 1t says:
IN view of the many kinds of Ger
man intrigue seeking to create dis
order in China, the Chinese government
found it impossible to wait for the
convocation of parliament before de-
claring the existence of state of
war with Germany, especially since the
rupture of diplomatic relations with
the imperial German government had
been previously approved by parlia-
ment almost unanimously.
"Austria-H Hungary has all along been
acting in concert with the German i'm
perial government. Moreover the
Austrians. like the Germans. have spe
cial settlements in China which might
easily be used by Germans, who speak
the same language Austrians as a
base of operation for further intrigues
thereby rendering the situation still
more difficult for China to cope with.
The Chinese government, therefore.
was unable to adopt a different atti-
tude toward Austria Hungary, but was
constrained, as an act of self-protec-
ton. simultaneously to accord her the
same treatment as was accorded Ger
many"

Potatoes ought to be cheaper. says
the Department of Agriculture in a

on a survey of the potato crop.
which viii be enormous IL early promises
are borne out. Official estimates place
the total potato yield for this year at
467, 900 600 bushels compared with
2S5. 000, 900 bushels year ago and

partment statement says that potatoes
form the second crop IN Importance,
breadstuffs, of course, taking the lead.
They are all the more important now

tributed by bread"
From the office of the food admins
tration has come plea for railroad
