MANY FIGHTERS ARE
 LOYAL TO RUSSIA
Growing Feeling of Support for New Government in Country

Petrograd, June 23.-In spite of the disorders at Zebastopol and anarchist threats here, there are indications of marked improvement in the sttua- ton with growing support of the government and a.growing animosity against the forces which makes for disintegration in the army.
 A resolution admits that transfer of all power to the democracy would weaken the revolution. This is the democracy's own admission that 1t needs the knowledge and experience of the educated class.
 By declaring for the speedy attain rpent of a general peace and at the fighting capacity of the army the con- gross repudiated the program of g separate peace. Equally important was the vote of the peasants congress representing 1aO, 100000 approving the expulsion of the German pacifist agent Robert Grimm, and inviting volunteers to enter the army and strengthen it by their example.
 Cossaclks Loyal.
 Speeches of similar tenor in the Cossack congress were still more en- phatic, so much so that the extremist anarchists organ repudiated the resurrection of the nagaika the Cos sack whip formerly used for suppress ing disturbances. A representative of the Amur Cossacks declared that 8.OO0,000 Cossacks were ready to fight in support of the revolution. A representative of the kuban Cossacks added:
 we shall support the provisional government if necessary with rifles and swords" A delegate from the Ukraine, formerly the location of the famous Saporoo Cossacks, declared that his countrymen would fight side by. side with the Cossacks until an archy was beaten into the dust.

Kron. In spite of these precautions. the attack on Mrs. La Rue occurred. <
 The federal investigation yesterday developed that Jose A. del Compo. a Latina merican consul. had called ct the house at 215 West Eightieth street the day after the attack had been made on Mrs. La Rue, and made in quiries about her. MT. del Campo said that he had had an engagement with the young woman the night be- fore, and that she had failed to- keep 1t. MT. del Campo said:
 ''The young woman is we'll known in Buenos Aires. She comes from one of the best families in the Argentine.'
 Some of the activities of the young woman before the attacks on her in- dicated that she was engaged in an in- vestigation of the international white slave traffic. and that she was in the employ of some government. It was reported yesterday that she had been engaged by Jose A. del, Campo as the sister of a LAtin-A American consular official stationed at New Orleans. The evidence that. besides killing Ruth. Cruger. Cocchi had attacked ! four other young women in the work shop in the basement of his store. led Inspector Faurot to consider it neces- sary to search among the ashes for ] traces of bones

 Traffic in Girls

New York, June c3.-Police Magis- tfate 1xoef1iE. 1t police nhestdquArters last night. issued a warrant after hearing Humiston and Inspector J. J. Faurot, for the arrest on charge of abduction of a man who is alleged to belong to a band engaged in kidnap- ping girls, taking them to South American ports. and selling them to confederates in Souths America.
 The man, or one of his associates it is said, attempted to murder the woman known as Mrs. Consuelo La Rue on last Sunday night at her home. PTS West Eightieth street. While no one in the confidence of Mrs. La Rue has said anything to clear up the mystery of her position in relation to the Cruger case. de- velopments yeSterday indicated that her investigations or her experiences gave her information about the or ganixation said to be in the business of selling women to South America, which incidentally involved Alfredo Cocchi.
 The importance of Mrs. La Rue's revelations became apparent yester- day when William !. Flynn, chief of the United States Secret Service. took charge for the federal government of the investigation of Miss La Rue's in formation and of the attack upon her life. Fresh developments regarding the man charged with abduction had been laid yesterday before Mrs. Humiston and Inspector Faurot while they were engaged In a search of the premises adjoining Alfred Cocchi's shop in West 127th street, where the body of Ruth Cruger was buried. They dropped that line of Investigation at once and hurried in an automobile to the home of an Italian woman on the east side and took her to the office of Chief Magistrate McAdoo in Mulberry street. The woman, who speaks only broken English, told how her daugh- ter had been abducted last August by a man who frequently had visited the house. Mrs. Humiston added infor- smation in her possession regarding the alleged trade in women carried on between this city and Latin-American countries. She gave details to sup- port 8 charge that in . previous in- stance the same man had abducted girl in this city and sold her In Buenos Aires.

 It was said that the search will be made first in a Southern city.
 Mrs. Humiston said yesterday that she did not absolutely know whether Mrs. La Rue had any information concerning Alfredo Cocchi or the Cruger case. Further evidence de- veloped yesterday to show that. be- fore her jump. Mrs. La Rue had been in extreme danger and was well aware of 1t. David Rose, the land- lord of the apartment house, told Mrs. Humistom that, the night before the attack made on her, Mrs. La Rue had said that her life was in peril and had asked that, if anything should happen to her, Mir. Rose should take care of any letters or telegrams that shoald arrive and pre- vent them from falling into the hands of others
 Because of the evidence that an at- tack upon Mrs. La Rue was probable. Mrs. Humiston sent J. J. Kron. a pri- vate1 detective, to the house that night to protect her, while for some reason or other other detectives followed

WRINKLES ALL

Read What A Grandmother
Says About Usit, the Won
derful Skin Treatment

The bottle of Usit has completely
cleared my face of the horrible
wrinkles that were such an eyesore
to my five daughters, and even my
grandchildren have their say about
Grandma's wrinkles. 1t is a Godsend
to wrinkle suffering humanity"
1t really seems to make no diff
ference whether wrinkles are due to
advancing years, or other causes.
When Usit is regularly applied for u
reasonable time they disappear, the
skin regains it's former smoothness,
plumpness and color and the youth
ful appearance returns. Usit is such
a splendid skin treatment that every
woman, old and young ought to have
bottle on her dressing table always.
1t not only banishes wrinkles but il
keeps the skin soft and velvety, sup
plying just the nourishment re-
quired. Rough skins are made
smooth; sallow, dry, faded COM
plexions get back their natural fresh
ness from its use, and 1t is also fine
treatment for freckles, blackheads
and many forms of eczema.

HOW TO GET STRONG
A Simple Remedy.

Whatever the cause. we want to
say to every person who needs
strength, you need Vinol as it is the
most efficient strength creator we
have in our store. Here is proof
from Dorchester, Mass:
II don't know what we would do
without Vinol in our family. / was
weak, nervous and rundown as the
result of an operation, and Vinol
restored my strength. Then Grand
mother had a nervous breakdown,
and Vinol built her up and restored
her health and strength after every
thing else had failed. We have used
Vinol for 1S years in our family, and
would not he without it in the
house" Myrtle l.. Healy, Dorches-
ter, Mass.
We believe in Vinol because we
know it is a great strength creator
due to the beef and cod liver pep
tones, iron and manganese pepton-
ates and glycerophosphates, ali dis
solved in a pure medicinal wine, so
we always return the purchase
money if Vinol fails to benefit those
who buy it.
