ECONOMIC RUIN
FACES RUSSIA
Only Miracle Can Save the
Country, Says Finance
Minister.

H Petrograd. May 29.-The industrial
crisis In Russia is 30 acute that, &C
cording to q recent utterance Of the
minister OF finance, M. Shingaroh,
only q miracl a ave he country
from economic ruin. The demands OF
the workmen were so enormous. he
declared. that 1t seemed impossible to
keep the Industrial wheels going for
a-y great length of tiaas.
Inc soc1a llA. ministers Mt a recent
council said that the only possibility
OF settling the difficulties was to bring
the war to a close.
Neither the coalition cabinet, ror
the newly appointed commission to
regulate the difficulties between capt.
tai and labor has yet found a way to
settle the industrial crisis.
Close Defense Works.
An investigation of the factory con-
dltions In Petrograd leads to the in
'evitable conclusion, that unless the
1ustn9 h present difficulties. most Of
the Industrial enterprises working for
national defense will be compelled to
close within q few months. In many of
the factories, the demands by the
workmen for increased wages are ac-
tually greater than the entire profits
OF the factories. The workmen,
their committees, are vtrtu-
ally IN command Of the factories and
all business has to be submitted to
them for approval. Wages in a ma
jortty Of the factories have already
been increased from 100 to $50 per
cent U there has yet been no offset
by an advance in prices of the output.
Output Reduced.
An eight-hour day has become ef-
fectiVe in all factories. According to
the estimate Of a leading manufac-
turer, the output of these factories
mas suffered an average decrease Of
forty per cont since the revolution.
He explained that all these concerns
were confronted with an imminent
shortage Of raw materials and with
bankruptcy.

NITRATE FROM VIRGINIA AIR
Site on New River Suggested for Ex-

Especial to The Times-Dispatch.]
WASHINGTON. July 10.-A site on
of the eleven suggested by the army
board as the location for the proposed
$4,000. 600 nitrate plant, which will"be
erected by the government.
The army board recommends that at
least 100000 be spent in experiments
In the manufacture OF nitrate before
the proposed $50, 100000 factory il con-
structed, SO that the government can
test each of tho nitrate extracting
processes and select the best one. The
board does not feel that the govern
ment should make an expenditure as
large as $50. 000. 900 until the War De-
partment is absolutely certain as to the
efficiency of the processes and methods
it Intends to adopt.
The board suggests that these pre-
lininary tests be made either on tho
New River, near Radford. or on Hol-
ston River, near Knoxville, Tenn. Both
of these places are also suggested as
possible sites for the permanent plant,
but the army officers believe they are
the best located for making the pre-
liminary tests. 1t seems, therefore, Ger
tain that either Virginia or Tennessee

The nitrate, which will be extracted
from the air at this proposed govern
ment plant, will be used in the manu-
facture of ammunition for the army
and the navy when needed. and for tho
manufacture of fertilizers when not
needed for military purposes. Germany
Is now getting practically all the
nitrate which it uses in the manufac-
ture of its ammunition from the air.

nounced during the week, is mentioned
nv those who have read it as brill
liant niece of high comedy writing, the
like of which has not been witnessed
on our stage since Langdon Mitchell.
Mrs. Fiske herself, upon reading the
play. gave up all her plans for the
season, which involved other produc-
tons. and Immediately accepted an
engagement for the play, which is as
yet unnamed.
Based on the life Of George Sand,
the comedy will introduce the novel

affair with Alfred de Musset. Other
historic characters will include Cho-
min. Heinrich Heine and List. Mr.
Moeller has been a student of this
period of French life for some time,

the subject, from which he drew much
of his material.
Mrs. Fiske is said to have declared
