chequer and second, as leader of the
house of commons, contained two
complete surprises-the appointment
of Sir Eric Geddes as head of the ad-
miralty and Winston Spencer Church
i'll as minister of munitions.
Churchill Opposed.
Much controversy has revolved for
a long time past over the name Of Mr..
Churchill. 1t was stated some time
ago hat he would succeed Lord Cow
dray as chairman of the air board, but
the idea met with such strong opposi-
ton in influential quarters hat the
project had to be dropped. Mr.. Chur-
chill's appointment now as minister of
munitions will undoubtedly lead to a
revival of hat agitation.
The appointment of Sir Eric Geddes
as first lord of the admiralty is another
break with the tradition hat the min
listers should be members of one Of
the legislative houses. The new first
lord is a railway man, not a politician.
Until recently he was in charge of the
whole army transportation; then he
became controller of the admiralty
with charge of all naval construction,
and such a rapid rise to the position to
which he now is appointed is quite re-
markable and another instance of how
Premier Lloyd George breaks with old
pOllllCdl TRADITIONS.
Three Conservatives.
The appointment of Sir Edward
Carson to replace Mr.. Bonar Law as
the fifth member of the war cabinet is
likely to create more uneasiness and
stronger criticism among the older lib
erals than any other appointment. The
war cabinet now in practice consists of
only four men, Mr.. Henderson, the
labor member, being still on a mission
in Petrograd. OF these four, Earl
Curzon, Lord Miner and Sir Edward
Carson are all conservatives of the
most extreme type.

Denman and Goethals Blame
Each Other for Delays
in Program.

Washington, July 17.-Differences
between Chairman Denman Of the
shipping board and Major General
Goethals, manager of the boards fleet
corporation. which have halted the
governments ship building program,
apparently were far from a settle-
ment tonight.
General Goethals, who yesterday
postponed his plans for constructing
two great government ship building
plants and for requisitioning ships
now building, made no move today
toward going ahead with his pro-
gram. Nor would he add to his
statement of last night that Mr.. Dem
man had asked for delay t. give the
shipping board time to go over his
plans.
Chairman Denman put the whole
responsibility for the delay on Gem
eral Cocktails, who, he charged, was
slow in furnishing information asked
Of him yesterday concerning his plans.
At the same time he made it clear
that the shipping board, as holder of
the stock in the fleet corporation, will
study the generals program carefully
before giving 1t approval.
Az soon as complete information is
at hand a meeting of the board mem
bers and General Goethals will be
called to go over the situation.

Kolchin in careful English. "Samara

"Kerensky was a member of the

largely upon the peasants, the other
party upon the industrial workers.

DEFEND THE CHURCH
AGAINST DISLOYALTY

Omaha, July 1s.-Twenty-seven
pastors and heads Of the nine branch
es of the Lutheran Church of Ameri-
ca officially purged the church of the
Nebraska defense councils charges of
to the nation in the wal at
a meeting held here today, when res
olutions were adopted the $1,000 Luz
.therans in Nebraska directly and
those Of the entire country Indirectly.
The resolution called attention to
the Augsburg confession, which COM
mands loyalty to the government,
and to the small catechism in which
the laity is enjoined to obedience to
the government. It further declares
that the Nebraska council Of defense,
Because of cases Of indiscreet con-
duct or speech OF the part Of individ-
uals, has particularized our church for
the mark Of odium, when, undoubted-
ly among all creeds there have been
those likewise guilty, and vet these
creeds have been passed unnoticed."
It also assures the honor and loyalty
Of the ministry and laityx in unswery-
ing devotion to this country.
Another resolution was adopted
making the committee a permanent
organization subject to meet with the
call Of the chairman.

who saw that each got a shower bath
and exchanged her clothes for a

Tonight the party's headquarters
here was in a furry Of uncertainty
over the question whether the WON

sentences without protest or whether
the cases should be appealed.
There were indicationg that the
course of the women's friends might

to testify for the women and who
later asked the court to be permitted
to act as their counsel. The request

"Of two different Socialist parties,
Kerensky and I naturally had many
spirited arguments over policy and
tactics.
"He was then a young man of the
student type; his youth impressed
me at the time. He is blonde, of
medium height should say about
five feet seven or eight inches. He
has a keen mind. and is a most able
debater. He defends the cause i IN
which he Is interested with vigor
and ability. I knew of his work for
tho 'cause' and Of his arrest. but
of course no charges were brought
against him; he was simply i'm
prisoned."
Kolchin told me of his escape from
prison at Narym, after two unsuccess-
full attempts-once under a load Of
ashland Of how he went on with his
work for the Social revolution and
afterwards again met K.erensky, also
out of prison.
"Kerensky's name first became we'll
known in Russia when, in 1912, he
dared as a young lawyer, defend the
Lena river gold mine strikers. Thus
openly on the side of the workman, it
was inevitable that Kerensky should
evote his life thereafter frankly to
revolutionary Socialism.
when the revolution broke Ker-
ensky was made vice president Of the
Council of Workmen and Soldiers
Deputies.
"In the MiEkoff cabinet he was the
only Socialist but Immediately became
the most important member.

dictator is absurd. He believes too
deeply in Democracy for that"

FARMS LIGHTED
BY MODERN
METHODS
Electricity Made Available BY Simple
and Compact Plants for
Remote Districts.

What is declared to be the most
make electricity available for farm
Use is illustrated at the North Da-
kota State Fair this week. 1t is the
Delco-Lightingly. Del-co light is a
compact unit consisting Of a gasoline
engine, a dynamo, and a switchboard,
and is the result Of four years Of ex-
perimental work by the largest pro-
ducers Of lighting systems in the
world. The machinery is almost self
explanatory. The exhibit has attract
ed much attention.
Del-co light serves the double pur-
pose of Illuminating buildings and
running light machinery. The gaso-
line engine is directly connected with
the generator, switch board, and es-
p~ecially made storage battery. The
engine is a~ir-cooled. There is no
water to trouble with and to freeze.
1t is self cranking. In starting there
Is nothing to do but to turn a switch.
When the batteries are started with a
sufficient amount of electricity, Del
co light is stopped automatically.
The claim for this invention is that,
besides giving safe and adequate
illumination OF the farm, it provides
ample power for a number of con-
venient machines such as cream sep
dldlols, cuuFIlS, washing
electric fans, cleaners, and milking
machinery. 1t Is also sufficient for a
low priced water system.
The manufacturers declare that the
small purchasing cost and cost of
operating is within the reach of the
small farmers and that the invention
as perfected is adequate for the usual
equipment of buildings and light ma
chinery.
The Mcclure Electric Co. is in
charge of the exposition.

Asked to Step Down

st. Paul, July 1.-THE state mill
tary board, made upNof Brig. Gen. F.
E. Resche of Duluth and the COM
manders Of the five guard regiments,
has recommended to the state public
safety commission that AdjItant Cen
eral Fred B. Wood be removed from
office, Gin the interests Of the Minne-
national guard"
Board members, after discussing
the resolution with the commissioners
late today, however, agreed to take
the matter up direct with General
Wood before pressing it further. Cow
ernor Burnquist has arranged for a
conference. with General Wood to-
morrow, provided the general has suf-
ficiently recovered from an illness
which confined him to his home to-
day.
Speculation on the possibility OF
General Wood resigning voluntarily
began first when Captain w. E. Hrin-
ow, military secretary to Governor
Burnquist. who examined the guard
records, reported that guard property
valued at $4,000 .was unaccounted
for. This raj followed by a supple-
mentary statement that SAB, 900 for
unpaid bills for 1916 were outstanding
against the Minnesota national guard.
Nothing has developed of late regard
ing the shortages, which were gener-
ally ascribed to faulty bookkeeping.
