The Russian governments policy of blood and iron is to be carried out along the lines which bode i'll for the sedftious troops along the eastern front and those persons within the country who are trying to nullify the good work that has followed in the wake of the revolution.
 Capital punishment, abolished with the advent of the new government. again has been put into force and the military commanders at the front will now be able to assemble field courts martial and put to death summarfly traitors in the army. General KornilOf, commander of the forces in Galicia, whose disaTectiou and assertions have wrought havoc in the Russian morale, was the most insistent of the military chiefs in calling for a free hand to check the refractory troops, declar ing that the death penalty was the only means Of saving the army.

New York, July 26.-Objection of many war relief donors in this coun- try to their contributions being ap- piled for purposes other than those for which they were specifically given was voiced in a statement issued here today by John Moffat. executive sec retary of the federal council of allied war charities, after a meeting of the the American Red Cross was discuss ed
 The statement said the question of distribution of relief supplies appar- ently has reached a deadlock. A joint statement issued yesterday said the Red Cross and the council had agreed on substantially all points of the pro- posed af1liation except that of dis tribution
 AffiIiation With Red Cross.
 The council suggested, however, to- days statement said, that the Red Cross confer separately with the diff ferent organizations in the council and it is extremely probable that af- fjliation of the majority of the organ izations with the Red Cross can be brought about"
 We know that American women" said MT. Moffat's statement, will ex- ert every ounce of energy to send whatever may be needed for their sons or brothers fighting in the Amer ican army. Those who have relatives at the IrOnt would not be willing to have such contributions as they make go, for instance, to relieve Armentans, Syrians and Russians"
 Other nationalities in this country. Mir. Moffat said feel the same way about the contributions they make specifically for their countrymen abroad.
 Objects to Distribution.
 The statement declared the council heartily agrees with the Red Cross thgt capitalization of relief effort is desirable but declines to agree to a proposal said to have been made by the Red Cross for the latter organi- zation absolutely to control distribu- tion in Europe, with the right to dis tribute supplies to other objects than those for which they were specifically given or for which money was speci- fcally given" Collection of money and supplies under such an arrange ment. the councils statement asserted would make it extremely difficult to obtain contributions and 'it probably would be illegal
 Negotiations between the Red Cross and the council will continue, it was stated.

UNCLE JOE CANNON
 STANDS BY PRESIDENT

 Washington. July 26.-While sena te and house conferees were beginning their work today on the long delayed food control bill, sentiment among house republicans crystalized against further delaying enactment by con fight for creation of a joint congress sional committee on war eXpendi- lures.
 At an informal conference Of re- publican representatives it was made clear to MT. Mann, according to those present. that no partisan fight on the question at this time could command the support of the party's representa- tiOn in the house. Former Speaker Cannon and Representative Miller of Minnesota made the principal pleas against the party leaders course, and although no vote was taken the gen. eral agreement was that the fieht for the war committee amendment would not he pushed.
 Mir. Cannon urged undivided sup port of the president and declared that if it became apparent later that a war expenditures committee was needed it could be created by separate legislation.
 Hope of getting the measure ready for President Wilson's signature next week was brieFt"nod somewhat bv the development, but the leaders pointed out that even v H.. agitation for the war committee amendment silenced in the house, the senate remained on record as favoring it and fight there still was possible.
 The president has asked elimination of the provision believing if would only harass those charged with con- ducting the war.
 The conferees met twice today but accomplished little. They pledged themselves to absolute secrecy dur ing their deliberations. Prompt ac- ton was promised by most of the conferees, some predicting agreement by tomorrow night.
