RUSSIA LINES UP
WITH ALLIES PLAN
Full Harmony Is Now Possible, Says
Foreign Minister Miliu-
koff

| Copenhagen, March 29.-Heretofor,

cratic government, she will be able t.
I subscribe to the entente's plans in full
Foreign Minister Miliukoff declared t.
the Petrograd correspondent of the news
paper Diem,
Diem quoted the Russian minister as
declaring
"At the time Russia was herself sup
pressing small nations she couldn't pro-
claim she was fighting for them. Now
however, Russia has the same view oil
things as her democratic allies, particu.
larly az to the liberation of small ma
tons under Austrian rule.
"The Turkish question must be settled
in Russia's favor"
Petrograd, March 29--Menace of a
German drive into Russia is serving to
accelerate tremendously the reorganiza-
tion of democratic Russia.
Evidencing the new spirit in the army,
dispatches from the southwestern front
yesterday told of great demonstration
accorded Gen. Brusiloff on his taking the
oath with his troops of loyalty to the
new provisional government.
Brusilof personally reviewed his troops
and witnessed their repledging of fealty.
Then his men carried him on their shout
ders to army headquarters. There great
red shields were brought out, inscribed:
CHOSE in the rear conquered a dynasty;
we at the front win conquer the enemy
Long live Brlsilotf the nations hero"
The greatest energy was apparent yes
terday at the war office. Extraordinary
efforts have been made to apprise the
troops at the front with the exact con-
ditions under which Russia slipped from
the bonds of autocracy into democracy,
as well as with the provisional govern
ment's plans for the future. The min
istry of the interior is bending every
effort to speed up to a maximum the
output of munitions and supply factor
les and other governmental agencies are
centered on the rapid transportation of
these supplies to the front

IT WORKS WELL
A Combination That Is Doing an I'm
mense Amount Of Good This Spring

A superlative blood purifying medicine
like Hoods Sarsaparilla, taken before
meals, combined with a superlative iron
tonic like Peptiron Pills, taken after
meals--makes the ideal course of spring
medicine.
No other medicines possess such cura-
tive properties as these two great re-
storatves working together.
They reach the impure, impoverished
poisoned, devitalized blood, and the worn,
run down, oyerworked, exhausted sys-
TEN. They awaken the appetite, aid di-
gestion, purify and vitalize the blood,
give renewed strength to the whole body,
produce sound. natural sleep, and COM
plete restoration TO good health, the
greatest of all earthly blessings, It is
said that So invested in these two medi-
cines will bring better results than 81
spent in other treatment.
1t will be wise to get Hoods Sarsapa
rilla and Peptiron Pills to-day.-Adv.

REPRISALS
BY ENGLAND
To Avenge Hospital Ship
Sinking by German
Submarines
PRESS SUGGESTS
RETALIATION
Asturias Was Torpedoed at
Night Without Notice -
German Blockade Fight

London. March 29-The press assumes
that the sinking of the hospital ship As
turias will be met with prompt reprisals
in accordance with the declaration issued
by the British foreign office at the end
of January, when the German threat TO
sink hospital ships was made on the al
legation that such vessels were being
used as transports. The form that
the reprisals may take has not been in
dicated officially, but the suggestion was
then made that several of the highest
ranking German officers among the Brit
sh prisoners should be carried on all
hospital ships.
The Press association says that the
Asturias was torpedoed about midnight.
The torpedo damaged the rudder and
passed into the engine room, breaking
the machinery, including the electric
plant. She had landed about 900 sick
Those aboard consisted of the crew,
members of the medical corps and nurses.
The distress signals were answered and
several boatloads OF survivors were
towed ashore; between 300 and 400 were
brought in. Many of them were thinly
clad and some we're wounded three of
whom died after they were landed at
a village on the shore of an unnamed
estuary. The villagers were aroused
early in the morning by the noise of
and other craft speeding TO
and fro and fastened TO the assistance
of the refugees. As many as possible
of survivors were supplied with clothes
and wraps, but the village wardrobes
were soon exhausted and quilts and
blankets were called into service.
The refugees said that the torpedo
which sank the hospital ship struck near
the stern and almost missed One OF
the women nurses on board, who was
attached to the British field hospital in
Serbia, said:
'We had no warning of any kind and
we thought that hospital ship would
be sacred even to the Germans. OF
course we had heard threats to the con-
.rary, but the thing seemed so utterly
1arbarous that | dismissed it from my |
mind We sailed through the bay of |
Biscay without fear and without trying |
% avoid detection. When the Asturias |
vas attacked she was blazing with light |

MUCH POORER SHOWING
For the Boston & Maine Reported by Mr..
Hustis.

Boston, March 29--The Boston &
Maine railroad was operated at loss
during the first two months of 1917, ac-
cording to a statement issued by j. H.
Hustis, receiver of the road, yesterday.
The deficit was given as sso9,367, com
pared with surplus Of $lls,732 in the
corresponding period last year.
Mr.. Hustis stated that the eight hour
law, as applied to men directly affected
by its provisions, will add at least ST.,
100000 year to the roads payrolls.
Other wage adjustments will add $780,
600 more. Fuel at existing rates, in his
opinion, will cost $4.000,000 more than
year ago, and materials and increased
car hire charges will further increase the
costs Of operations. Relief of some kind
is required quickly, he said.

General Sporting Notes.

| When the Braves and Yankees arrived
in Dublin, Ga, the other day, Long
Tom Hughes looked the Yankees over for
old teammates OF his, while he was a
/ member of the club. The only man who
is playing with the Yanks now that
drew pay from this club in 1910, when
Hughes left, is Ray Fisher, the Middle
bury boy. This goes to prove how short
time a big league ball players career
really lasts.
Rube Marquard of the Brooklyn Ma
tionals appears to be coming back, and
in spite OF the fact that he was consid-
cred almost useless last season, he is
pitching rare ball in the spring train
ing games and if his arm continues to
strengthen, he ought to have one of the
best years of his career.
As famous as he is in the baseball
fandom, few men know of the strength
which John McGraw proved to be in st.
Bonaventure's football team when
student at that college. Even many of
the men on his own team did not realize
that their leader was former gridiron
star until he told them the other day at
Marlin in a tanning bee that he once
wore the moleskins. McGraw played
against such men as Frank Hinkey, the
silent captain at Yale and later coach
of that institution, and also Snake"
Ames While in college, McGraw was
equally as strong on the gridiron as on
the diamond.
The White Sox management has COM
meneed to cut the squad Haas, an out
fielder, and Henry. first baseman, have
been sent to other teams.
