If German calculation are based
upon the supposed decentralization of
the soldiery or more than transient
detection of the troops at the front
from their usual discipline and loyal
ty to their commander, these calcula-
tions are plainly in error.
1t is unbelievable that during the
first days following the revolution the
extreme radical and socialist element
aimed at taking advantage of the over
throw of the authority by sowing fur
ther discomfort among the workingmen
and soldiers.
The cloudy state of mind of the pea
SAINT population, which, bewildered by
the new vista OF IIeedom and equality
and having had little experience with
liberty of any sort, imagined that it
meant relaxation of every kind of au-
thority and discipline, made the prop
uganda of the agitators easy at first.
But the prompt measures taken by
the government and duma delegations
removed whatever danger lay in that
direction.
kilograms have been received from
every portion of the front affirming
that the army can be relied upon to do
its utmost to defend the country. NJ.
Rodzianko, president of the duma, re-
ceived a delegation from the army
which declared:
"All officers and soldiers will defend
the duma to the last drop of their
blood. They will faithfully obey the
provisional government and will strike
the Germans to the last man."
Freedom from the censorship already
has salutary effect in permitting
the truth to be published about the
new danger from a German attack
without the usual accompaniment of
extravagant rumors which in the past
made news more alarming than the
truth itself. The result is that with
out minimizing the danger of the
country, the press has accepted the
declaration of the minister of war
quietly and without alarm. The Rech
says editorially:
ut is the people who are fighting the
enemy and not the government. There
fore, hiding nothing from our readers
we say defiitely and clearly that dan
ger is threatening our northern front.
The enemy is preparing to crush our
valiant army which for two years has
defended the road to Petrograd The
Russian soldier understands better
than ever before the Importance Of
still resisting"
The Russkia VOLTA says:
Russia is on trial. Won Hindenburo
will try to realize his old dream of a
move upon Petrograd. The army and
people are facing a test which win be
come historical. Results can only come
from an honest desire in the hearts of
the Russian people for victory"

DEVELOP THE NEIGH
BORHOOD CONSCIOUSNESS

Many people still think that farmers
do not more often work together for
business advantage and social advance
ment because of extreme independence,
of lack of neighborly feeling, of stub,
horn clinging to accustomd ways OF
doing things. All these may have him
dered somewhat the spread of coop
erative effort and community action in
the rural districts, but it is not safe to
conclude that the farmer is any more
aset in his ways" or any less interest
ed in his neighbor's welfare than the
city man who may belong to a dozen
times as many organizations.
The neighborly feeling Of farm dwell

MYSTERIOUS POWER
OF MONK RASPUTIN
His Hold on Russian Imperial Family
Explained in Startling Story.

Petrograd, March 25-The super
stitious belief that the health and
even the life of Grand Duke Alexis,
depended on the presence of Gregory
Rasputin, the mystic monk, notion
which is generally known to have ae-
counted for Rasputin's tremendous in
fluence over the imperial family, is ex-
planned in the following extraordinary
manner by the Rusky Blcvo. Raspu-
tin, according to the newspaper. stat
ed in condolences to friends at conviv-
ial moments that he was able to forti-
fly this superstition with the help of
Madame Virubova, lady-in-waiting to
the empress, and M. Badmaef, court
physician, until the empress was abso-
llutely convinced that the life of her
son depended on the monk.
Whenever Rasputin was absent for
any length of time from the court,
!. Madame Virubova, according to the
monks story as given by the newspa-
Iper, obtained poisonous powders from
the physician and contrived to place
i them in the food brought to Alexis,
4 The result was that during Rasputin's
i absences the delicate health of the
4 young heir apparent grew steadily
iworse until Rasputin was summoned
back to the court, when the powders
were stopped and Alexis became i'm
.Fmediately better

but harder battle confronts the
health workers. Their victory will
not be won for many years after
peace has come. France was fairly
we'll prepared when war began to
resist the inroads of the Teuton

to combat tuberculosis than France,

not suffered nearly so much from

in Canada the problem is serious

France Mas called on the United

German army and tuberculosis. More
than one hundred and fifty thousand
of her soldiers have been returned

that more than half million new

France is appealing to America for
troops to re-man her battle lines and
for tuberculosis experts to combat

is being answered. Thousands of

New York Cotton Exchange today an
nounced new regulation, effective
Aug. q, which limits fluctua tons in
futures prices in any one day to three
cents q pound above or below the clos

cents pound is equivalent to SIS a

Movements in prices on the future
