KERENSKY MADE
SLAv DICTATOR
Supreme Power Conferred on
Russian Premier.
WANTS ORDER RESTORED

Committee of Soldiers and Workmen's
Delegates and Peasants of All Rus
sa Lodges Unusual Power in Hands
of New Leader.
Petrograd, July "a. 4.-"Unlimited
powers" have been granted the Rus
sian provisional government under the
sinister forces threatening to wreck
the new Russia, born of the March
revolution.
The grant comes from the most
powerful representative body in the
nation, the Council of Soldiers and
Workmen's delegates and Peasants OF
all Russia.
The title of the ruling body, the
government of national safety" re-
calls the famous committee of pub
lie safety OF 1898, formed in the cru
cial period of the French revolution.
With Kerensky serving not only as
premier but as minister of war and
lidilllts IL II dPbdI tllN Nhdl vast boN
ers are thus lodged in the hands of
this one man, suggesting those of a
virtual dictator.
The mandate OF this committee ia TO
restore internal order, both at the
front and at admittedly a diff
fcult task in the face of the powerful
influence both within and without the
nation working against the present
regime II is evidently one, however
with which kerensky, conceded the
strongest man TO be found for the task
is willing to grapple with all his wide
ly recognized force and ability
The council voted to grant Keren
sky's government the supreme power
after an all-night session.
There are indications that the Work
mems and Soldiers council after the
events of the past week and all cir
cumstances connected herewith, are
apprehensive of counter revolution
The central committee has issued {
manifesto calling local organization:
of the revolutionary democracy anC
army to be ready at any moment tt
rally around their political eenters

Only the most unexpected of events will prevent the early
chronicling of the legitimate outcome of Count Won Luxburg's
diplomatic brutality, and the severance of relations between
Argentina and Germany announced. 1t may occur today,
certainly this week. Germany is not likely to make any con-
cessiOns to the outraged South American republic. especially
In the presence of threat to cut off diplomatic communication
While final action is yet to be taken, the issue IS easy to fore
see, having been distinctly Swallowed by the action of the SEN
ate in adopting a resolution little short of a declaration of
war. The United States and it's allies will gain considerable
advantage through the accession of Argentina. Materially. his
Will take the form of better and more inclusive control of the
food situation. Argentina is the only great food producing
country not already aligned against the German combination,
and may soon be looked to to join in measures to prevent food
going to Germany through neutral countries. Morally the
course of Argentina will have a decided effect, for it will do
much to unity sentiment in South America, and so influence
the future of the republics. "Spurlos versenkt' may yet ap-
ply to the carefully built up structure of Germanic influence
throughout the whole new world.

THE GERMAN LOSSES M FORCES LEFT

Mr.. Gerard recently warned the nations at w a uat III
man power of Germany has not yet been exhausted. The As
sociafed Press the other day gave its best estimates of this man
power of the empire. 1t gave the present forces on the various
fronts and on lines of communication as oyoOU,OOO. But IL II ISL
not be assumed that all these are highly effective troops Oh
the contrary, many of them are the left overs OF the military
humiliation. The same estimates give 100000 as the number OF
men killed, physically incapacited as a result of the war ana
prisoners. These four and a half millions are out forever, and 1t
must be assumed that they represent, for the most part, the
flower of what was the manhood of Germany. 1t is estimated
That 100000 are now in hospitals undergoing treatment. That
makes a total of i%O,5OO,OOO men.
According to the Associated Press, these 1O,5OOOOO men
were made up of 100000 trained troops, including the standing
army, 100000 unframed reservists and landstrum and 400
600 men who had been counted as permanently exempted, for
various reasons, some of them physical ones. The rest OF this
army was made up of boys as they have become of age, at the
rate of about 100000 a year. The classes of 1914 to 1913, in
elusive, have been called out in full, making 2,25O,ON men and
of the class of 1919 100000 have been called out, making in all
225OMO soldiers made out of what were boys when this war
began. 1t is estimated that they can get 100000 more soldiers
from these sources, if the war continues into next year, 100000
remaining of the class of 1919 and the full 100000 of the class
of 1920, which will be anticipating it two years or more.
The total male mobilizable resources of the empire are
given as 100000. That includes all males who can be used
at all in the service of their country, without regard to age linn
its. That is more than one out of every five of population, al
most one out of every four and One-half. If in Nevada we
should call out an even $4,000 men, instead of 1851, as W. have
done, we would get an idea of what male mobilization means
in Germany. To bring it nearer home it would be like mobiiz-
ing between eight and nine hundred troops out of the popula-
:. ton of Goldfield, instead of 80 as we have done. By such COM
PARSONS we can form some idea of what mobilization means
in Germany.
And we can also form some idea of the value of an army so
made up-while it may continue to have numbers, it cannot
be highly effective. The first four millions disposed of must
have taken the best men in the ranks. The really effective
fighting men of any population is said not to run over nine or
ten per cent, and on that basis Germany ought to have had
about 6,5OOOOO men really capable of being good soldiers. If
100000 of these are killed, incapacitated for further use or
prisoners, as estimated, there would be 1000 900 fit men left
and they have more than that on their two fronts, which means
that there are some men over age or under age.

NATIONAL MORALS

THE imperial government greets with especial sympathy
the conviction that in the future the material power
of arms must be superseded by the moral power of right says
the kaiser to the pope.
For instance, and for example, the invasion, conquest and
enslavement of neutral Belgium, the conquest of Poland, the
massacre and determination of Armenia by "Our brave and
loyal ally the conquest of Serbia by another faithful ally;
the conquest and continued domination of Alsace- Lorraine, the
conspiracy to impose the rule of Mexico on Texas, Arizona and
New Mexico and that of Japan on California, Nevada and the
other states west of the Rockies. And finally, what becomes of
the doctrine that "The moral law exists for The empire only as
it will contribute to the power and prestige of the empire?"
Evidently the shot and shell of the Marine, Verdun and
Flanders and the four million German dead are pressing home
a lesson that German schools and German statesmen were
never permitted to teach. German "kultur" knew no such Ian
guage as the kaiser employs in addressing the pope.

A RACIAL DELUSION REBUKED

In an address at st. Marys Roman Catholic cathedral at
Fall River, Mgr. Cassidy recently gave a vigorous presentation
of the duty of I~rish-Americans during the war. The question
of the British alliance was handled with remarkable frankness
and fearlessness.
"There are many of ancestry like to mine, Irish-Ameri-
cans, the speaker said, "f you will, whose judgment is blind
ed by their hatred toward England. Let them beware lest their
luminosity toward England be interpreted as dislOyalty to the
United States.
"Out of the lons of a Fenian arrested in arms against the
English, came. was nursed at the breasts of as true an
Irish woman as ever come out of Ireland. Indelibly written in
my soul is the story of Englands rule of blood and iron in Ire
land. But what has that to do with the honor of my country?
incidentally and accidentally we may be fighting for England,
Just as England is now fighting for us, but essentially and
fundamentally we are not fighting for England; we are fight
ing for ourselves. Had Germany by its own overt acts, repeat
ed again and again, not made it impossible for us to keep peace
with honor, had it respected our rights, had it not murdered
our citizens, it nigh thave beaten England to its knees and we
would not have interfered. We did not go to war to save Eng
land; we went to war to save ourselves, to save our sovereign
rights, to save all and everything that a nation in honor
prizes.
You men of all births, for there are men of many bloods
and births bearing a grievance against England, in your blind
desire for retributiOn you forget that in this war all must stand
or fall together. If England stands we stand; if England falls
we fall; victory and honor or defeat and dishOnOr shall come
upon all alike. And God forbid that there should be any so
base and low and blinded as to wish to strike at the heart of
England through the soul of their own country. God forbid
that there should be any who would rejoice at the losses of any
OF the allies when they know that such losses mean only great
er losses and multiplied deaths among you. Let this insanity
pass forever from these states. The Churchman.
No one would begrudge congress a long, joyous vacation
