New Court Order
Bars Masses" From
Mails Until August 2
Judge Hough Issues a Temporary
~ Stay at Request OF
Government

"The Masses" will not succeed in
gaining admittance to the mails until
August 2 ,at least, despite Judge
Learned Hands injunction restraining
the Postmaster from interfering with
it. While Max Eastman's attorneys
were preparing yesterday to serve the
injunction upon Postmaster Patten,
Judge Hough, of the Circuit Court Of
Appeals, issued a temporary stay at
the request of the government, which
will be argued at his country home in
Vermont on August 2.
In applying for the stay, the govern
ment argued that the magazine should
be kept from circulation until higher
court had reviewed the case. The
prosecutor maintained that 1t would be
idle to reverse Judge Hands decision if
the August issue were permitted pub
licity, as the harm already would have
been done.
The Circuit Court of Appeals is to
take the case of alleged sectional ut
terances in the August issue under con-
sideration in October. On August 2
Judge Hough will decide whether to
vacate his order or to withhold THE
Masses" from the mails until the Cir
cult Court has acted

Soldiers Shoot Down
Statuette of Kaiser

Throughout the months that the Ho-

been In use by the government a statu-
cite OF the Kaiser has gazed upon the
olive drab sentries on Pier of the
Hamburg Line.
Yesterday a squad of soldiers off
duty got hold of some sub-calibre cart
ridges and constituted themselves a
firing squad. Their actions and inten-
tions were plainly visible from Newark
and River Streets, where stood a sullen
group of Hoboken- Americans.
Five minutes passed. Still his i'm
perial majesty stood serene. The critics
on the street cheered up. There were
whispered jeers at the Workmanship
of the Sammies.
Another five minutes and the concen-
trated hail of even the sub-calibre bull
lets began to have its effect. His i'm
perial majesty began to crumble. and
finally completely disintegrated.
So did the group at Newark and
River Streets.

Political Situation
In Russia Improving

Washington, June 26.-"The pessi-

official at the Russian Embassy said
to-day. This authority asserted that
the real situation in Russia was far
more encouraging than the press dis
patches indicated.
The Embassy's reports from Petro-
grad to-day did not melton the MILL
tary situation, but were reassurlng IN
regard to the political conditions. The
Provisional Government has the politl-
cal situation we'll in hand and is
carrying out its measures for the pre-

Russian Cabinet
To Rule Country
With Iron Hand

Petrograd, July 2s.-Russia's new
Provisional Government met yester-
day and discussed the Increasingly
grave situation. Recognizing that the
safety of the fatherlsnd necessitated
most decisive measures, the ministers
resolved to accomplish the task in full
accord and solidarity with all the hon
est elements devoted to the country.
II was decided at the Cabinet meet
ing 70 convoke in Moscow soon a con-
ference of the principal representa-
tives of the Russian social organlza-
tiors and TO place before IL the facts
in the country as they actually are.
In an interview to-day Premier ke-
rensky said the fundamental problem
of the Provisional Government lay IN
providing for tie immediate safety OF
the country and the revolution, what
ever the cost might be. The govern
ment was thoroughly conscious OF the.
duty before it, he said, and was deter,
mined to make resolute stand
against anything which threatened the
ruin of the state.
The Premier stated that re-estab-
lishment Of the death penalty at the
front was necessary in view of the fact
that the government was faced with
the alternative of sacrificing the army
TO a BODY Of traitors and towards or
having recourse to the only possible
means of inspiring terror.
The Provisional Government, IN COM
plete agreement with the entire army,
| took the burden of heavy response
bility. the Premier explained, solely in
| order 10 save the lives of heroes who
were perishing in the execution OF
their duty for the sake of their coun-
| try, and to remove the reproaeh threat
ening the good name of Russia.
In an order modifying the decree re-
lating to press restrictions the Provls-
| ional Government authorized the Min
| lister of the Interiar to suspend the
! publication of periodicals that incite
| characterization or disobedience to or
ders given by the military authorities,
or the non-execution of military du-
| ties, as we'll as to acts of violence and
| civil war.
Editors responsible for the publica-
tion of articles of this character, it is
announced, will be brought to trial.
A telegram from Helsingfors says
that the Russian warships Slava, Re-
publika and Petropavlosk, which were
| involved in the recent disaffeetion of
| men in the Baltic feet, have been re-
called to favor in consequence of Pre-
mier Kerensky's order concerning the

Korniloff Considered
Pluckiest Commander
In the Russian Army

General Korniloff, who ordered
whole division Of mutirous soldiers

IN. Quickest general in the Russian

story Of his career reads Ike iSii'

short of stature, with bristlinr

of the Siberian Cossacks, first became
known during the Russian retreat IN
the Carpathians in 1915. Against des-
p,.ate odds he held out with his d.
vision till he himself was taken pris-
on.r by the Teutons. For seVeral
,,ortb. he was interned In Austria and
subjected to all kinds Of humiliations
there.
Last year he decided to escape. DIS
ruised as a peasant, risking his life on
many occasions, he walked hundreds OF
miles across the Carpathians into Ru-
mania. When he finally arrived in
Russia he was greeted with unbounded
ioy by the army. His feat also made
him very popular with the entire ma

gain the great honor, Immediately after
the revolution, of being the first COM

Germans Rule Air
On the West Front,
Says LA. Warwick

An Atlantic Port. July 26.-The
French are in desperate need of aero
planes, according to L. A. Warwick, an
electrical engineer. who returned to-
day aboard French liner.
During my several visits to the
Western front talked to more than a
hundred British and French officers"
he said. "All admitted that along the
Western front the Germans had re-
gained supremacy of the air. From
what l have learned from them, I
believe that the United States would
accomplish far more by sending five
thousand aeroplanes TO France by jan
uary l than 100000 troops.
French Need Aeros
"The French are in need of a thou
sand aeroplanes Immediately" he con-
tinued "They have sufficient aviators
but the machines are lacking. Despite
all the French government can do
and it is building aeroplanes as fast as
it can-the machines are not sufficient.
1.-TWO weeks ago, when | last visited
the front, and was only six miles from
Lens, where | was in conversation with
a British officer, he deplored the fact
that they had not sufficient aeroplanes
to successfully combat the Germans.
Here comes a Fritzie now,' he said,
as a large German battle plane passed
overhead, making photographs of the
Allied positions. If we had only suf-
ficient machines to send against them,
we would be all right, but, unfortunate

Germans Have New Planes
J. G.. Wells and F. 7. Walker,
American ambulance drivers in the
Champagne sector, who returned on
the same vessel, also asserted that the
Germans have a new triDlane, carry
ing a Benz motor of 240 horsepower
capable of making 1870 miles an hour.
This new battleplane, they stated,
carries two gunners and the pilot. The
sides of the machine are constructed Of
steel, making it almost impregnable
against attack. 1t has two machine
guns and an automatic rifle.
"The Germans have grown much
bolder," Wells and Walker said. "They
fly as low as two thousand feet at night
and about four thousand feet during
the day. In many instances they have
flown deliberately over anti-aircraft
positions. and have dropped bombs on
the Allied batteries. The only possible
way to combat them is to put in the
field more machines than they have
