u. S. is ASKED TO AID
RUSS WAR PRISONERS
England Also Invited to Conference
Involving Aid to Slavs Held in
Germany.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN, September 29.-The
United States has been invited to send
representatives to conference at
Copenhagen to discuss measures for
the feeding and relief of Russian pris-
'oners Of war in Austria and Germany.
The original plans for the conference.
which now may possibly become an
event of some international Importance,
contemplated only the meeting of Aus
trian, German and Russian military and
Red Cross representatives to take up
questions relating to relief of war pris-
oners of Russia and the central pow
ers, but America is being counted
upon to supply the provisions to be sent
this winter to prison camps in Ger
many and Austria Hungary, it was de-
cided ultimately to seek American rep
resentation.
England also was asked to take part,
being interested from the standpoint of
control of the route by which Ameri-
can meat and breadstufrs would enter
Germany to feed prisoners of war upon
their return to the prison camps from
the farms.
Virtually all the prisoners are en-
ployed on farms except during the
brief winter suspension of farm labors.
The question of summer rations is Of
as their farmer employers are required
by the state to feed them. The desire
of the farmers to have willing work
ers impels them to give the prisoners
far more food than the ration pre-
scribed for the civilian population.
Thirty pounds of potatoes, several
quarts Of milk, cheese and an allow
ance of fat and meat are figured
for the weekly ration of prisoner farm
hands at times when these articles are
almost unobtainable by the general
popula ton.

you. gentlemen. even now still think
of a revolution as an antt-natfonal
state-wrecking procedure, in spite OF
the fact that the history Of the entire
world says that the only method Of saw
ing certain states was revolution. This
is the most strained moment in tho bat
tie with the government which is de-
stroying the country. The revolution
ary process Is the objective process. Let
there was the Count Mirabeau, who for
a long time failed to realize that he
himself was one of the greatest actors
in the revolutionary process.
Feeling the advent OF the revolution
feeling himself already as part of 1t.
Kerensky steadily clarified the revolu-
tionary consciousness Of the duma,
pushing 1t into the revolutionary caul-
dron. The duma, however. did not yet
digest fully this revolutionary process.
The duma was still obdurate.
The president interrupts Kerensky.
An indescribable noise breaks out in
the hall. The protesting Kerensky is
threatened with forcible removal from
the tribune An intermisSion is de-
cIared Soon afterward the government
also declared an intermission of the
dumas session, proroguing 1t till Feb
ruary 81, 1917.
During this period Kerensky had COM
pletely identified himself with the rev.
olutionary process. The day following
the opening of the duma, February 2S,
1917 Ca few days before the outbreak
Of the revolution). he made his now
historic, openly revolutionary speech.
He said:
unprecedented in our history. In COM
parison with it the period of 1913 seems
childs play. Chaos has enveloped not
only the political, but the very founda-
tions OF the nations social-economic
structure.
Things have come to such pass that
recently one of the ministries, shipping
coal from Petrograd to neighboring
city had armed the train with special
guard so that other authorities should
not confiscate the coal on the way. We
have arrived already at the primitive
stage when each person defends with
all the resources at his command the
material in his possession, ready to
enter into a mortal combat for 1t with his
neighbor. We are witnessing the same
scenes which France went through at
the time of the revolution. Then. also,
the products shipped to Paris were ac-
companied by special troop detachments
to prevent their being seized by the
provincial authorities.

Petty officer Schwartz, who were tried,

The police now charge that they

Norwegian named Hagn, who is under
arrest in England. The correspondent
of the Zeitung is now on a vacation"

that il he returns to the country he
will be arrested. In addition. the dis

Germany against Norway, and long ago

government. He admitted freely that

Young Kerensky Finds Himself.

The second duma. like the first. went
up in the flame of reaction and police
espionage. Many of the social demo-
cratic and social revolutionary parties
were sent to prison. penal labor, into
exile or to the gallows. And then. on
June 3, 1907. the new electoral law was
promulgated. creating the high born"
third duma. Reaction was rampant

defeat And it was an atrocious re-
Venge. The courts Were Swamped with
political cases; the jails We're packed
with prisoners; into exile and toward
the hard labor settlements long trains
moved ceaselessly; hangmen were
pressed for time.
Alexander kerensky went to the de-
fense of his comrades. AS practicing
lawyer, with big future before him,
he could not restrain himself from
rushing to the rescue of politicals OF
all parties, but mostly members of the
social revolutionary party. kerensky
brilliantly led the defense in one of the
greatest cases of the time-that of the
Armenian social revolutionary party
When. in 1913. the celebrated case of
the accused Jew Bells began. Kerensky
proposed that the Russian bar protest
against the proceedings, and was con-
demned to one months Imprisonment
for the adopted resolution. The gov

these espionage affairs. If it is not its

presses the general feeling in Norway
against Germany.
