HEALTHOF RUSSIA'S
MAN OF DESTINY
CAUSES CONCERN
Friends and Associates of
Premier Kerensky Fear
He Will Break Under
Great Strain

London, August THE health of Alex
ander F. Kerensky, Russia's man of the
hour. is matter of grave concern to
his friends and associates, according to
members of an English delegation which
has just returned from Petrograd Pre-
mier kerensky's health was none too good
when he took office and the strain since
has been not only constant, but prob
ably. heavier than any other stateman' $
in the world today
Illustrative of his weakness. it is stated
that even during the first weeks of the
revolution every public speech he made
was followed by period of faintness.
Ills friends say that only his tremen-
dous will power and nervous energy have
kept him going so long
Those who have seen the brilliant Rus
sian leader in the last few weeks de-
scribe his face as being haggard and
drawn, his figure emaciated his voice still
strong and vibrant but speech marred By
frequent coughing, and his eyes brilliant
but not with the briliance of ruddy
health The premiers whole appearance
Enthusiastically shows the effect of the
enormous work required of him every q
hours and the heavy responsibility and
constant drain on his slender physical
resources.
If Kerensky can only hold out" is
the phrase more and more frequently
heard among his friends and admirers,
indicating their dread of his physical col
lapse and what that would mean to the
destinies of free Russia

Runs True to Form.
Members of the committee declared
today that while they were not in
clined to regard all that Lawson says
seriously or as gospel, they believed
Attorney Whipple had run true to
form and press agency. Practically
all the men and women who attended
the committees sessions agreed with
the Congressman.
Lawson, who makes it very plain
that Attorney Whipple is no partic-
ular friend of his, the lawyer having
vanquished him in one of New Eng
lands biggest lawsuits, once referred
to the attorney as "a law surgeon
"a vivisectionist" and a "a skillful
wielder of the scalpel and probe"
Lawson Right as Tipster.
The fnancier said the term cross
examiner" covered Whipple "as
snugly as a lirt's fan does her hearts
open sesame" and a man who could
extract the most carefully secreted
facts and pin the coveted data on the
outside of the victims pelt, where
court, jury, and reporters may read
them up and down, sidewise- and
catecornered."
These picturesque expressions were
nothing more than mere words to
Washingtonians who had never seen
Attorney Whipple in action, but now
that they have witnessed him with
decks cleared and all sails set, they
take their hat of to Lawson as a
tipster. The Boston flnancier's every
descriptive phrase fits Attorney Whip

opinion of the committeeman and
spectators.
