RUSSIANS PREDICT
 VICTORY BY COMING
 AUTUMN FOR SURE
Industrial Crisis Acute, Work men Demand Higher Wages and Miracle Must Save
 Country

PETROGRAD, June 20-In an inter- view General Nicholas " Rusky, who has just reached here after relinquish Eng control of the Russian army in the northern front, speaks hopefully of the improvement in the morale of the troops there. Desertions, he said, are at least lessening, which may be talk en as a sign of growing understand ing in the army. Towns in the immed- fate rear of the various fronts are full of agitators and the simple soldiers, made up of the peasant classes most ly, are too often taken in by these fluent takers. When they hear that the land is being divided up, naturally he fears to lose his share, and leaves the army, to demand his rights.
 However, General Ruzsky believes if the improvement continues, Germ any can easily be beaten by autumn. He places great reliance on the per sonal influence with the troops of Minister of War Kerensky.

RED+HBALL IS SET FOR
 JUNE 2 5 3.

 Presidents S War Fund

Mrs. J. R. Hecllman, Mrs. w. c. DibreH Mrs. w. c. Strong, Mrs. J. F. Hunt. and Mrs. j. E. Rivard, who con- pose the committee of the local Red Cross Chapter are sparing no efforts in making the Big Drive a credit to Ketchikan, but they must have the help of each and every citizen in mak- ing it SC They aIbo wish it under stood that this is no Charity affair, and that in appealing for support of he people of Ketchikan, they are not asking for Charity. They are asking each one to do their duty. It is the individual support of the citizens of the First City that they need, and it is only fair to expect that those who cannot go on the battlefields will do their utmost to provide for the com fort and medical assistance of the brave men who are willing to sacri- flee their lives for their country.
 The sale of tags yesterday was splendid, but has fallen short of eX- pectations today though the Boy Scouts and quite a few of the younger children have done nobly. Miss kath- crime Holzheimer has been a star sell Ter, well seconded by Margaret Bryant and Virginia Nuckols. With one ex- ception the Camp Fire Girls have not responded to the appeal for help.
 The tickets for the Red Cross Ball and concert are to be on sale this af- ternoon and a special appeal is made 10 the very generous citizens of Ket- chikan to help make this memorable occasion In this matter the commit tee is not asking you to give some thing for nothing, because you will be amply repaid for value received by real pleasure as it is hoped to make this ball and concert the most bril- liant ever given here.

FACTORIES MUST CLOSE

PETROGRAD, June 20-An investi- gation of the factory conditions ill Pet rograd leads to the alarming but inev- itable conclusion that unless the gov ernment soon finds a means of adjust ing the present difficulties, most of the industrial enterprises working for nat ional defense will be compelled to close within few months.
 The investigation disclosed the fact that virtually the same difficulties pre- vail in all the big factories in Petr- grad and apparently authenticated re- ports from the Moscow, Dunaetz and Ural districts indicate dis-organizat- ion.
 In many of the factories the de- mands by the workmen for increased wages are actually greater than the entire profits of the factories under the best conditions of production. An eight hour day has become effective in all factories.
