RUSSIA DOING
HER UTMOST TO
CARRY ON WAR
Only One Inference to Be
Gained From Premier
Kerensky's Interview

Petrosrad, Nov. 6.-Russla is still
doing her utmost to carry on the
war, She will continue TO do her
duty, These are the views of Pre-
mier Kerensky, whose secretary, in
his name, protested against any 9TH
Ell Interpretation of his recent inter-
view with the Associated Press.
David Boskice, the PFemier's Soc
,retary, made the following statement
to-day regarding "the misinterpre-
tation by some of the London press"
sOf the interviews
Il have seen Nj, Kerensky with
reference to the interview and shown
him quotations from the English
press. He was very much astonished
at the manner in which his plain
statements were received in London.
Whoever read the whole interview
can draw but one conclusion from
iiti Russia was doing, is doing. and
still will da her utmost in carrying
! on her share of the common cause
against the enemy, having devoted
all her might from the very first days
ipf the war; when England only be-
gan her vast preparations ana Amer
lea was still neutral.
Russia, which always was much
stronger numerically than her
mighty allies now naturally feels the
pinch of war more than England
and America and, therefore. Is JUS
titled in the contention that her allies
now should shoulder the heavy bur-
den, and should assist her unstinted-
~ with war material and finances.
in the matter of her requirements.
"The minister-p president in this in
teryiew pointed out that not every
one of the allied countries appreci-
ated fairly the great part Russia has
played and still is playing in the
war, and that some We're inclined to
attacked her bitterly because of the
great difficulties with which she is
confronted now. She Will continue TO
do her duty"
M. Soskice said the interpretations
of the American press of his inter-
view were pleasing to him.

SOLDIER VOTE
MAY DETERMINE
RESULT IN N. Y.
All Parties Claiming Victory
in Campaign Unparalleled
For Bitterness
By Associated Press

New York. Nov. 6.-New York is
holding its quadrennial mayoralty
election to-day. OF the 696,SO9 voters
who registered. 1t was expected that
at least 675,000 would cast their
ballots.
Many close political observers be-
lieve the result may hinge upon the
vote of men now stationed in train
ing camps in this side and overseas.
Tho soldier-sailor vote has been esti-
mated at about $4,000, and it will be
about u month before 1t is known
how these men voted.
At the close of q campaign almost
unparalleled for its bitterness and
many sensational charges and coun.
ter charges, campaign managers of
the four parties issued statements
claiming victory. The fusion party
predicted that Mayor John Purroy
Mitchell would be reelected by a
plurality of at least $4,000; Tammany
Hall claimed that County Judge John
+. Hylan. Democrat, would be elect
ed by 10000 plurality; former State
Senator William M. Bennett, the Re-
publican nominee, who defeated
Mayor Mitchell at the primaries, as
serted he would get 275,000 votes,
and Morris Hilquit, the wealthy can
didate of the Socialist party, was
certain that he would poll 10000
votes.
While the main interest in the cleo
ton was centered in the mayoralty,
the question of granting suffrage to
women by amendment to the state
constitution attracted unusual atten-
ton. Four women, all Socialists, are
candidates. for seats in the Lower
House at Albany.

in New York's east side, the War
Work Council of the Young Women S
Christian Association is finding vast
and diverse work to do for the wom-
en- affected by the war. The'work has
already received an appropriation of
$4,000,000. 1t is SO diverse that wher-
ever and in whatever way the war
touches the lives of women there goes
the War Work Council.
The "hostess houses established at
training camps form only one small
part of the field covered by the coun-
Gil even in America. The work in
cludes looking after the eating and
sleeping arrangements, for example,
of thousands of girls suddenly en-
ployed in the wars mushroom indus
tries. 1t is also helping the women of
France, and it supervises recreation
for girls in the vicinity of the can
tonments.
OF the $4,000,000 budget, 100000
is allotted to hostess houses, one of
which is to be established at every
camp. Seven hostess houses have
been opened, twenty-five more are
under construction and constant re-
quests for others are being received
al headquarters. No hostess house is
built unless the commandant of the
camp has asked for it. The councils
work is essentially one of co-opera-
ton.
The first house at Camp Upton,
was opened October 81. The purpose
of all these places is to provide a
pleasant and convenient meeting
place for visitors and soldiers.
Strangers at Yaphank are directed

much exceeds one dollar per ton.
THE amount of time consumed for
the delivery of one-quarter of a ton
is the same as when one ton is
hauled. Necessarily 1t takes four. trips
in quarter-ton lots to equal one ton
of coal so that the expense for the
delivery of one ton of coal in quar-
ter-ton portions is four times the cost
of the Service when a full load Is
sent.
Coal dealers lose considerable
money on quarter-ton lots of coal.
Should the cost of doing business
further increase the quarter-ton
service may be discontinued.
Coal consumers are always advis-
ed against buying in smaller amounts
than one ton of coal because of the
extra expense. However, many per-
sons prefer to buy in minimum
quantities rather than in larger

WASHINGTON. June q.
Baseball players. artists, actors and au-
thors must take their chances with the other
9500,000 men In the great selective draft
lottery. There are no provisions for their
exemption from military service In the
exemption regulations It became definitely
known today. Unless they are "indlspen-
sable" and serve to contribute 10 the main
tenauCe Of the military organization or the
national interest In the emergency" such
men will be subject 10 draft That is the
answer inqulrors are getting to questions
about men IN these classes
Several managers Of baseball league
teams have asked the War Department
whether their players will be subject to
conscription. An inquiry from an artists
colony in Greenwich village" New York
city, was answered by pointing out that
virtually all OF Frances famous artists are
In the trenches.
Big, hard caluses on the hands will
be one Of the contributing causes for exemp-
tion from military service for farmers
Among other things the appellate exemption
boards will take into consideration the
length Of time certain farmers have been
tllling the soil and the circumstances Of
their choice OF that vocation" And cal
loused hands constitute part Of the evidence.
"Would-be slackers" by the hundreds are
fleeing big cities TO work on farms, hoping
thereby to be classed az farmers and escape
military service. Reports to this effect TO
the War Department, In some cases giving
names were turned over to the Department
OF Justice. Some of the men offered TO
work during the summer for virtually
nothing but board and room. This aroused
the suspicion Of the farmers, who reported
the unusual situation 10 the War Depart
ment.
But the subtcrfuges Of these self-made
farmers win be Of little avail The appel

closely every claim for exemption for occu-
