 This is the appeal of the state food administration. Dean F. B. Mumford state food administrator, has issued a statement showing that if every per son in the state saves one piece of bread each meal it means a saving of S16,165 barrels of flour a year for the men at the front
 A barrel of flour, Mumford has fig ured out, is equivalent to 4,179 pieces of bread

'MEATLESS DAY" AND

The undersigned hotels and res taurants in Prescott have, at the re- quest of the Food Administrator of the United States, agreed that on Tuesday in each week they will ob senve the "meatless day." which means that they will not serve any beef, pork or mutton to customers, and that on Wednesday of each week they will observe "wheatless day." which means that on that day they will serve no bread or bread stuff con- taining wheat.
 This is done on account of the scar city of these commodities, and the necessity of conserving them for shipment to the army, and we sincere " hope that our customers will un- derstand the reason for this, and will heartily join with us in undertaking to carry out the orders of the federal government.

GERMANY PREPARING TO

New-York tribune., 1917-06-17

The first time saw him was soon after
the primary delirium Of freedom had sub
sided. He apologized for keeping me
waiting. 81 am sorry that you should
have to wait" he said, "but ! have had
to see delegation of soldiers from the
front. They came to me straight from
the trenches they look upon me as sort
Of father confessor."
Here was the key to the whole situa-
ton. In Kerensky you have a man who
not only commands the ear and the heart
Of the people, but also the love and the
confidence of the soldiery.
To look at the man you would imagine
him to be a physical wreck. His great
eyes blaze out of the setting Of his sunken,
pallid checks; he lives on his fervor and
on his nerves, collapsing like wet rag
after every great speech he makes.
New-York tribune., 1917-06-17

1t was as Secretary of State under Pres
ident Roosevelt that Mr.. Root won inter-
national fame as a shrewd and progress
i've promoter Of international comfy, for
while his enemies were decrying his for
eien relations as those Of dollar diplo-
macy" the results of his South American
tour were accepted generally as Of great
value.
Elihu Root is one of the greatest figures
in American life who has not reached the
Presidency. As Secretary of War under
Mckinley, ne helped to reconstruct Porto
Rico, the Philippines and Cuba. Later, as
Senator for New York, he endeared him
self still further TO the conservatives, but
never ceased to be a national influence, now
controlling Republican conventions and
now occupying the field as Presidential
possibility.
As a lawyer he is looked upon by his
profession as past master, and enormous
fees are earned by him in regular prac-
tice as counsel. His enemies are fond Of
recalling that ne was the attorney for the
notorious Tweed ring and was skilled in
showing corporations and politicians chow
. to avoid conflict with penalties"
Only recently he was the leader of the
State Constitutional Convention, chosen to
draft a new constitution for New York.
The rather humiliatng defeat of this con-
stitutional programme has led his critics
now to ask how he can expect to frame an
acceptable constitution for the peasants Of
Russia.
But it is not as practising lawyer nor
yet as a framer of constitutions that Elihu
Root arrives in Petrograd, but rather as
the diplomat of long experience, as the
shrewd, calm counsel Of prudence and the
long-headed constructor Of international
relations.
Mr.. Root was born in 1S45, at Clinton,
n. Y. After a course in the University of
New York, he was admitted to the bar in
1867. He succeeded General Alger as Sec
retary Of War in 1899, and later accepted
the portfolio Of Secretary Of State under
Roosevelt, succeeding John Hay.

An Inverted Instance
From The Erening Mail
MONDAY, JUNE ii. 1917
Neutral Tonnage Sunk

In the weekly british reports OF subma-
rine sinkings we of course hear nothing OF
neutral tonnage sunk while sailing to or
from England through the prescribed zone.
These neutral sinkings, especially of Sean
dinavian tonnage, are very large. The
Scandinavians recognize the danger Of
sailing to or from the British Isles. They
expose themselves to destruction not be-
cause they want to do so, but because they
are obliged to do so.
Norway, Sweden and Denmark have no
coal They have always been dependent
upon England. To-day, when a Scandi-
navian ship goes to England to get coal,
she is required to make trip out through
the danger zone on British business before
she can load coal and carry it back home.
That extra trip is the price which Great
Britain demands for her coal; incidentally,
the trip exposes the neutral steamer to
two extra chances to be torpedoed.
The coal is demanded not only for Scan
dinavian industries and power plants, but
also by the large Scandinavian merchant
marine. Great Britain has forbidden these
ships to carry German bunker coal, which
is on the British absolute contraband list.
A steamer that uses it to-day is, by present
British prize law, subject to confscation
if apprehended now or on any subsequent
voyage.
Just another instance Of the value to
Great Britain of her coal. her coaling sta
tions and her control of the coal trade of
the world

THERE is no more powerful organiza-

Workmen's and Soldiers Deputies. 1t
is the only body that absolutely controls
the confidence of the masses, and Is the
only stable governmental institution pro-
duced by the revolution. The Petrograd
council operates through an extensive net
work of local councils existing throughout
the country and in the army. AT the head
of this gigantic system stands n. D.

crisis was man of destiny, Kerensky is
that man.
A week before the revolution broke out
his name was scarcely known in Petro-
grad. Four days after the city had ridden
the red tides of revolution his name was
on every tongue.
Kerensky is the infant Gf not fenfGnt
terrible) of the Cabinet, for he is barely
thirty-fve He was born in Simbirsk,
where his father was principal of the local
high school He studied law in Petrograd
and became assistant to a commissioner
Of oaths there. At school he was noted
for his ready speech and his fervid ora
tory. When he began his law practice he
Immediately allied himself with the Labor
party, and often defended his colleagues
when the old reactionary government
clapped them into prison for the slightest
offence.
When the revolution began Kerensky
leaped TO the front He had participated
IN many secret meetings Of the revolu-
tionary workmen held during the last
year, and it was out of these meetings
that the first real organized movement of
the revolution developed. But with the
advent of revolution these scattered bodies
of men who had plotted in the dark
emerged as the now famous Council of
Labor which has been the thorn in the
flesh Of the Provisional Government. Al
though bound to radcalism by virtue of
birth, conviction and association, he
proved himself to be a constructive states
man Of the first rank when dissension
arose in Russia's new-found freedom.
From the moment that the first shot was
fred Kerensky was in the thick Of things.
He has all the Lloyd George sense OF the
dramatic, and he is n great stage manager
for spectacular effect. Among Other
things he did he made himself personally
responsible for the safety Of the royal
family, for Sturmer and for Protopopof.
