Russia Wfll Not Quit Unless She
Is Starved.

Russia Will not quit unless Sne
is starved into submission.
This is the opinion of Ralph
Dawson, who for two years has
represented CASTOR, William &
WiGmore, Inc, of No. 120 Broad
way, in Petrograd and other
Russian cities. He left Russia

America is needlessly appre-
hensive, said Mr.. Dawson yes
terday. Reports of chaotic
conditions have been grossly ex-
aggerated. The Romanoff party
is dead and no tears were shed
at its passing. The freedom of
Russia is assured and all she
needs to continue a successful
warfare against Germany are
supplies, ammunition and railway
transportation to the battle lines.
when you consider that the
Russian is heroic and devoted
enough to fight Germany, armed
only with religious images, sticks
and stones; when you recall that
he has done this three years on
cabbage soup, black bread and
tea, you must conclude he is not
a gutter.
"A Socialist revolutionary
movement can be formed only
when there is a strong industrial
proletariat. The vast majority
of the lower classes are small
peasant proprietors, whose lands
have been divided down since
the abolition of serfdom in 1861,
until now each owns little more
than a foot of earth.
None is so conservative as
the Russian peasant proprietor.
and any movement that is at
lacking his property rights as a
principle will be resented and
squashed by him as soon as he
is able to understand it."
Relative to recent agitations in
Russia. Mr.. Dawson said the
Russian were enjoying free
speech for the first time, and
any one who had something now

The Scnatc's Big Day

THE Senate on Saturday redeemed itself
and recovered some of tho lost conf
dence OF the country in the passage OF the
House bill. without amendment, appropriating
S640 100000 for aviation service. and also
in the passage Of the food control bill with
amendments, which will go to the conference
of the two houses and then become law.
Congress is at last emerging from tho jungle
of legislative preparedness for the war, and
is now giving with both hands the sinews of
war to the fighting arm of the government.
The huge appropriation for aviation will
enable the government to build 5000 aero
planes within year and to train 10. 900 pilots.
Only training machines will be built at first
battle planes are to come later. Nine giant
training fields are to be opened Immediately in
addition to the six already open. The battle
planes are OF two types. the sporting machine
and the fighting machine, and these machines,
especially their motors, being improved
SO fast that last years machines are now
worthless in battle. Men now fly at the rate
of 100 miles an hour and carry on the decks
of their machines the lighter naval guns.
The two great armies facing each other on
the western front are we'll matched in aerial
strength. and in no other feature of the war

II this country can enter in 1918 with that

assured, the war will certainly end next year
In favor of the entente, according to French
students OF aviation. Lloyd George has just
given the world guarantee that Britains
food supply for 1918 is assured
The food bill gives the American govern
ment practically complete control over food,
feed and fuel. the latter including kerosene
and gasoline. The Senate took from the
House bill the provision for making single
individual the administrator of the law and
substituted one making board Of three men,
This Is plain slap at Mr.. Hoover, and it
is said the administration will intervene to
have the House feature retained. There is
also likely to be a sharp difference in con-
ference over the Scnates substitute for the
Houses "bone-dry'' provision. The substitute
orders the prohibition of the manufacture OF
distilled beverages during the war, and di-
reefs the President to buy all distilled spirits
in bond

the country is now soon to have what II

LONDON. July 22.-Reprisals upon
German noncomba tants for the recent
air raids upon London are opposed by

Davidson. Archbishop OF Canterbury
In letter he has written to Sir Thomas
Barlow, In response TO request to

My own point is best expressed In
the words Of a resolution passed. on
my motion. by the bishops OF the prov
conviction that the principles of moral
ity forbid a policy of reprisal which

and wounding Of noncombatants.
The key OF the situation lies in tho

But quite different is an attack.
tho direct object OF which is to harm

sons Of vengeance or in order TO pro-
mote terror. or In tho hope OF deterring
the enemy from perpetrating outrages.
That is tho kind of reprisar in which
