RUSSIA IS NOT

 FIGHTING HUNS
lA esn.-afnI HInsEL

sia IS not out of the war in any ems ., Premier Kcrensky, in an inter ticw given d representative of the Associated Press, outlined Russia s present condition, aims and needs plainly to the world Despite the many assertions 10 the contrary. We are noJ out of the war, nor out of sympathy with the cause for which We entered the war" asserted Minis ter Kerensky
 Il" was determined that Russia's allies should know that she has been drained bare by the enormous bur dens which she has borne from the beginning of the struggle, and asked that they not lose faith in Russia's integrity of purpose and her inten- ton to keep faith with them. He outlined the disadvantages and draw 3acks which added to the country's burdens for many months after the outbreak of hostilities on account of the maladminstation of civil and military affairs by the leaders of the Russian empire. So great did these become he declared, that the peo- pie were forced from a standpoint of self preservation to overthrow that empire in order to save the country for themselves and from the enemy.
 Russia" so Kerensky declared, "is today worn completely out by the strain of the war and must have help She now claims her right that the other allies should shoulder her burden and give her a fighting chance to work out her salvation. This much is due her for what she has done on more than one oCca- sion on Russian and Austrian battle fields for the allies. For more than three years she has stood alone, un aided and unafraid before the at tacks of mighty enemy. She has fought her battles alone and still Tights them without assistance, but she is unable to do so longer. She has fought eighteen months longer than England without possessing England's advantages. Her territory by the enemy, and when the pres sure on the western front seemed greater than her allies could stand she sacrificed countless men and great wealth in order to divert the enemy's attacks, and thus saved the entente from premature defeat.
 We have fought until we are eX- hausted, and now we must have aid. The question uppermost in every Russians mind today is where is the great English fleet now that the German fleet is in the Baltic? l. would be of invaluable assistance to us. The United States, in whom We have the greatest faith, can aid us most by sending boots, iron and leather and money with which to provide ourselves supplies which we must have in order to fight
 Because we seem to be standing still and to have become disorga- nized to a certain extent the world must not lose faith in us. The Rus sian revolution is not ended. It is not a revolution of force, but an economic one, and as such it will take years to develop a stable gov ernment The world must bear pa
 iently with us while we work out our destiny"

CREATES SENSATION

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. Q The frank statement of Premier Ke- rensky of Russia's position as trans mtted through the Associated Press today created a profound sensation here. The state officials note with confidence that he has placed em- phasis on Russia's not being out of the conflict.
 Secretary of State Lansing author ized the statement that there is noth- ing in Kerensky's communication that indicates that Russia is about to quit the war, and said that the American government would greatly deplore it's interpretation to that eff feet.
 The government this afternoon re iterated it's faith in Russia when Secretary McAdoo authorized an ad ditional loan of $30,000,000, which is imm eiiately available out of the credits previously arranged iar. It is aeo stated that steps for assist ing Russia in any possible way vii!

AMI NATURE WONDERFUL

he Pipe.
The pipe is a cage for smoking
matches. The Indians were the first
ones to smoke pipe, and after see
ing a movie of an Indian camp we
can understand why they can smoke
pipes.
The squaws put up the wigwams,
carried in kindling wood, cooked, and
all the time took care Of the kids by
navigating around with the youngish
chiefs and squawesses harnessed on
their mas back while the old bucks,
chiefs, ex-chiefs, assistant chiefs,
etc., lay around busily pushing the
wind backwards through their pipes
to manufacture smoke.
From what we know about pipes
at that those, he Indians in a way
were working just as hard as the she
Indians.
Now here's what we're trying to
drive at about pipes: In these mod
eTn- times we can't figure out how
fellas with work to do can find time
to smoke a pipe (of course, sporting
editors and politicians aren't count
ed in on this). AS we said before, go
back in history a bit. Those Indians
were either one-stepping the war
path or smoking pipes and both jobs
kept them busy while they were
awake.
In smoking pipe an hour fella
wastes 3 hours time and couple of
gross Ofmatches and uses up enough
pipe cleaners, the material of which
would make a nice winter Overcoat.
We suppose you'll say, "Well, what
kind of a pipe are you smoking?"
Now, Clarence, we've smoked pipes |
from the clay molar grinders to turk
ish hookahs and they're all the same.
It's all right to smoke pipe, if |
you've got a lot of time and money
and can lay around at Palm Beach.
But us guys who are clock watch |

day throughout the country with the
army recruiting service organized for
\ great drive of war volunteers.
Tho Presidents proclamation calls
for 10000 men to come forward during
the week for war service. Already a
division OF regulars has been desig.
mated for service In France under Gen

spond to the Presidents call may feel
assured. officials point out, that they
will be little delayed In reaching the
overseas begins.
When the proclama alton was prepared

and field artillerymen and $4,000 re-
serves for all arms. The cavalry. sig
nal corps, engineers and other branches
had been filled up. Since then 10000
men have been accepted. but tho re-
cruiting rush will go ahead to secure
as many more than 10000 as may offer
themselves and be acceptable.
When expansion Of the regular army
to it's full authorized strength OF 3oo.-
was $4,000 men below that total.
Since then about lea 900 men have been
obtained. and are now under training.
Unless the department is to fail In
it's effort to fill up to war strength
during tho week. an average OF nearly
10000 men a day must be obtained. or
nearly ten times as many as have been
accepted each day for the last several
weeks. Yesterday recruiting dropped
to It's lowest ebb. with only I'll mon
accepted.
An appeal to tho newspapers to aid
in securing recruits was made to-day
by Secretary Baker. who said that

post with national banks was avail
able to the government through the
Federal banks. and said that II they
did business directly with tho district
institutions the government would
have the use OF 100 per cent OF this
money. He also called attention to the
fact that in many instances the re-
serves they were required to keep on
hand as State institutions were re-
duced SO per cent as members OF the
reserve system.
GREAT RESPONSIBILITY
on SHOULDERS OF BANKERS
Continuing, Mr.. McAdams said that the
bankers OF the country had the great
est responsibility on their shoulders
in guarding the resources OF Amer
lea. Tho South and Southern banks
this year would have more money than
ever before when the movement OF
crops was over, he said, and he urged
bankers to prepare for the second war
loan that will shortly come. 1t Is
necessary, he said. to educate the peo-
pie Of the country to tho necessity Of
saving a small sum out OF their earn
ings. and 1t Is with these savings that
government bonds must be bought.
The consensus of opinion among the
bankers was that the new reserve act
was q great step forward in the bank
ing business OF this country. and that
every bank should be a member of
the system. Many OF them intimated
that their institutions would become
members of 1t in the near future.
