REQUESTS REMOVAL OF WOOD
STATE MILITARY BOAHD DECIDES
ON ACTION.
Move Declared Gin Interest of Mime
sofa National Guard" Is Appar-
emily Based on 1917 Law.

ST. Paul, July 18.-The removal Of
Adjutant General Fred B. Wood in
the interest of the Minnesota Nation
al guard" has been recommended by
the Minnesota State Military board to
the State Public Safety commission.
Board members after briefly discuss
ing the resolution which the commits
sioners agreed to take the matter up
with General Wood direct before
pressing 1t further with the Safety
commission.
When they will present their views
to General Wood could not be ascer-
tanned, but 1t was made known that
Governor Burnquist plans to breach it
to him at once provided the general
has sufficiently recovered from an Ill
ness which confined him to his bed.
Based on 1917 Law.
The military board is made up of
Brigadier General F. e. Resche, Du-
luth, and the commanders of the five
guard regiments, Colonel George E.
Leach and Colonel E. D. Luce, both Of
Minneapolis; Colonel W. j. Murphy,
st. Paul; Colonel W. T. Mollison, Fart
bault, and Colonel H V. Eva, Duluth.
its resolution asks the war board to
advise the governor to remove General
Wood from office. It is apparently
based on the section of the 1917 law
which provides that the governor, act
ing on the advice of the commission,
may summarily remove from office
any state, municipal or other officials,
except state executives.

FOR CONSERVATION

(By United Press.)

Columbia, Mo-, Nov. 2.-The nation best equipped with food will probably stand the best chance of winning the war st<s
 This was the declaration of F. B. Mumford, dean of the school of agri- culture of the University of Missouri and state food administrator.
 Meat. wheat, fatss and sugar are scarce" Mumford said. "The princi- pal supply of these foods for the world must come from America. Based on normal consumption, America has a limited amount of these foods to SUD- ply.
 "Then we must look to reduced con- sumption. To accomplish conservation of these foods, the United States food administration is asking every man, woman and child to sign a pledge card to consume less of these foods"

MARKET NERVOUS
 ADD UNSETTLED
Fluctuations Were Irregular and Net Decline is 9 to p Points Italian Situation Appeared to UnSettle Sentiment.

New York, Nov. 1-The cotton mar ket was nervous and unsettled today and fluctuations irregular. After sell ing at 2648c early, January rallied to 26.74c, broke to 26.39c and closed at 26.45c, with the general list closing steady, at a net decline of 9 to 25 points on all months, except Novem- Der, which was 13 points higher. The market opened steady, at an advance of points on December, but gener- ally to 21 points lower, and sold 10 to 21 points below last nights clos ing figures, right after the call.
 There seemed to be a good many overnight selling orders around the ring, brought in by the weakness of late yesterday, but Liverpool was rela- lively firm, houses with Liverpool and domestic trade connections were buy CTS and the market soon turned stead fer. December rallied from 27.15c to 27.35c and March from 26.15c to 26.42, with active months generally selling about to 10 points net higher. The bulge increased, however, which seem- ed to include some Southern selling, under which the market weakened be- fore the end of the morning. Weak ness in the stock market and uncer- tainty as to the Italian situation ap- peared to unsettle sentiment, and to be largely responsible for Wall street and local pressure. The close was shade up from the lowest on cover- ing.
 Cotton closed steady.

Washington, Nov. 2.-While tenn porarily withdrawing from active military participation in the great war Russia will stand by her allies, and make no separate peace with Ger many.
 ! This was officially announced by the Russian embassy.
 That Russia is worn out by her tre- mendous struggle to establish a stable I government after the revolution, and is weakened by mismanagement of her economic affairs, is admitted by her statesmen. For the time being, prob ably until next spring or summer, she is shunting the burden of active war fare against the Teutons to the shoul- ders of the allies.
 Russia has not, nor will she negoti- ate for separate peace with Ger many or Austria, Ambassador Bak- metieff announced officially.
 Any statement that Russia has quit was entirely unwarranted, Secretary Lansing said. He said he would later issue formal comment on the Russian situation, as covered by official dis patches to the state department. He deplored any impression that Russia had abandoned her allies.
 The evasive answer as to Russia's intentions, previously given at the embassy, turned to positive assurance of Russia's fidelity.
 The present withdrawal from the struggle as explained is for the pur- pose of concentrating her energies in reestab!ishing internal affairs and for mulating policy of control for the army.

rr;tb the American Army in France, Nav 1-The first battalions of Amer ;,.ns in the trenches have been re- ,;a,od by others. Relief, which is con .idsred one of the periods when the stomv by shelling the approaches to Ao nositions, may infiict heavy dam .,s was accomplished successfully. annarently the enemy was not aware what was going on.
 With the men back in the billets, it ,ov is permitted to mention, for the first time. that the casualties were opcligible. In fact, more men are sufering with trench feet" than with wounds.
 From a military standpoint the ex- 0erienee gained by the Americans is considered of a very high value in the training of contingents which are yet to arrive on French soil. It was a tired dirty wet, mud-caked body of men that returned to billets. The men had only two clear days while in the trenches. They were mud from their hats to their shoes. Before any thing else, they required bath, first with gasoline and then water.
 Today the sun was shining bright and the returned soldiers spent most of the time summing themselves and their belongings. Some of the fields in this section of France are covered with blankets, parts of uniforms and equipment. Clouds of red dust arose in these places when later the owners started to brush. Tonight the return el battalions are clean and ready to 20 back again.

United Press Special.

OHlleu TESS OpeCldl.
 Washington, Nov. 2.-Russia, torn by internal dissention and worn out from financial and economic drain of the war, and mismanagement, is with drawing from the world struggle.
 While repeating it has absolutely no information as to developments in Russia, the embassy here answered only evasively persistent reports that Russia is through.
 No doubt exists in allied quarters that the first great allied power to enter the war is quitting. Whether she will make a separate peace or merely remain inactive, the informa- tion available here does not make clear.
 Russia's decision to cease active participation in the war is believed to have been reached some time ago.
 There has been closely yelled inti- nation from some allied quarters for several days that Russia had decided to quit, and that Germany knew it before the kaiser swung his legions from the Russian front to Northern Italy to support the Austrians in the great drive against Cadorna.
 It is now believed the kaiser's spec tacular demonstration at Riga served to quiet Russia definitely.
