Man With "a Record"
On Emperor's Pay Roll.

These documents show. according to
Information here. that while socialist
named Malinovsky was leader Of tho
social democratic faction of the third
duma. about five years ago, he was on
the pay roll Of the emperor's police.
Presumably leader of the opposition
and elected by the workers to represent
them, he was in reality. according to
this purported evidence, acting for the
emperor, us m agent secretly paid to
confuse and disrupt tho opposition. 1t
Is recalled by Russians here that
Malinovsky at that time was known
AS Lenine's right-hand man. and the
discovery now of documents indicating
Malinovskys duplicity la said to have
strengthened the provisional govern
ment's suspicion that Lenine and his
followers are IN one way or another
connected with the German spies
known TO have invaded Russia since
tho revolution. These are estimated
here to number tens of thousands.
Russians who, endeavoring to be
just to Lentne. are at the same time
loyal to tho provisional government,
profess to believe Lentne Is mentally
unbalanced, according to the Russian
Information bureau, Officials of the
provisional government are said to be
ready to accept this theory In the
absence of definite proof that he Is a
spy and to be prepared to restrict his
punishment to isolation unless such
proof Is obtained.

Canadian Food Vital,

The government had sought 100000
men, he declared, without estimating
the man-power of the country or con-
sidering whether men could best be
employed on the fighting line or at
home producing food and munitions
for the force fighting at the front.
Canada had not only to produce food
for England, but to make up for food
being sent to the bottom by subma-
rines. Sir Wilfrid added that Australia
had voted upon and had defeated con-
scription, but was still very much In
the war"
The government position was out
lined by Solicitor General Meighan.
He held that the soldiers from Canada
who are doing the fighting would be
unable to vote, no matter what effort
was made to provide them with the
opportunity. That had been shown by
the effort to take the votes of British
Columbia soldiers when that province
held an election recently.
He said that Sir Wilfrids followers
had broken away from him in the house
because a largo majority of the think
ing people of Canada were against the
position taken by the opposition
leader If Canada did not continue to
support with recruits the men sent to
the front it would mean betrayal and
disgrace.
"Of all the prices" he said, I'VE must
never pay for harmony in Canada with
national dishonor"
The senate Is expected to pass the
CONSUMPTION measure within ten days.
Dissolution Of parliament Is looked for
and a general election In September,
with CONSUMPTION as the issue.

RUSSIA PLANS T0CURB
ACTIVITIES Of [EN|NE
Will Arrest Him and Many of His
Followers, Information Bureau
in New York Hears.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 25.-Information
that the Russian provisional govern
ment has decided to terminate the ap-
parent pro-German activities of Niko-
lai Lenipe. the radical socialist leader,
by arresting him and many of his
followers, has reached the Russian In
formation bureau here. These adj
vices indicate Lenine probably will be
shot If he is convicted as a spy work.
ing in the interest of Germany, but
that If not convicted he will be iso-
lated during the war. This last meas
ure. it is explained here, would be
adopted as a precaution against the
presence of "a crazy man in politics
at this crisis"
So far as information received by
the bureau shows, no evidence has been
uncovered in Petrograd to confirm the
statements duplicating Lenine as an
agent of the German general staff, al
though the provisional governments
present determination to take him into
custody leads Russians here to suspect
that the government may know that he
Is guilty Of taking German gold. 1t
is explained that the provisional gov
eminent, anxious to avoid any accu-
sations of interference with freedom
of speech or Of the press, has hereto
fore hesitated to arrest Lenine, but
his activities reached the point where
the officials determined not to tolerate
them any longer, regarding them as
more dangerous for Russia and her lib
erty than the German armies without"
Man With "a Record"
News dispatches of recent date have
varously reported Lenine to be under ar
rest and to have escaped to kronstadt
disguised as a sailor. Lenine, whose
right name Is Vladimir Hitch Uiianofr. Is
described by the Russian information bu-
reau as a man with "a record''-a record
which before the revolution commanded
respect throughout his country.
His book. THE Development of Capital
ism in Russia Is regarded as one OF the
most valuable contributions to Russian
economic literature. and his articles on
agrarian economic and scientific problems
won him high place in the estimation Of
socialists and scientists alike.
In connection with his believed pro-
German activities. documents, declared to
have been found recently in the records
of the former Emperor Nicholas depart
ment Of police, are regarded by Russians
as signidcant

Oysters Highly Prolific.

The oyster is the most prolific living
thing in the world. 1t is estimated the
Chesapeake oyster of good size lays
about 100000 eggs If half of
these were developed into female oys-
tiers there would be produced by a sin
gle female 100000 descendants In the
first generation, and in the second 5000 600
times 100000, or $4,000, 600, 100000 In the
fifth generation nearly $4,000, .00o,-
900, 000, 600, 900, 900, 600, 100000 female
oysters and as many males, or a total
of 66.o00.000, 900. 100000, ooe,0 0o,oeo,ooo-
100000.
If each oyster fills eight inches Of
cubic space it follows that 1t would
take 100000 900. 600, ooo,o 0o. 900, 600
600, 900 to make a mass as large as the
earth. If, therefore, the descendants OF
d single oyster in the fifth generation
were permitted to live and thrive they
would form a mass that would cover the
earth eight times. AS an oyster lives
for many years and spawns once each
year. the possible rate of revenue IS
much larger than is shown The figures
quoted are beyond the ability OF the
human mind to grasp.

Would Choke Chesapeake Bay.

It has long been claimed by experts
in oyster culture that IL oysters were
permitted to grow to maturity the in
crease would be on such huge scale
that in a few years the Chesapeake bay
would be choked with them, provided,
of course, they could obtain sufficient
food and would not in the piling Of one
on the other crush the lower strata.
The sea food experiment farm author
lied by an act OF the last Maryland leg
islature and on which experiments for
oyster spawn will be conducted prom
ises to be the most efficient addition
to the sources Of sea food in the Chesa-
peake which could be devised.

Feared Votes Of Slackers.

Before the vote was taken, an ap-
peal for the measure was made by T.
G. TurriT, a liberal member, whose
only son was killed in France. He
opposed submission of Consumption to
general election because it would be
defeated by the votes of slackers who
had failed to respond to the call for
volunteers Chief Liberal Whip Par
dee declared for CONSUMPTION and coali-
ton government
Sir Wi1frid Laurier said it was a new
thing for question to divide both po-
ht1cal parties at one time. This ques-
ton had estranged dear friends from
him whose loss he regretted.
1t was admitted that CONSUMPTION
would be defeated If submitted to the
people, but the government was pre-
pared TO carry the measure by it's par
lfamentary majority and apply it to
the country by coercion. The country
was facing a cleavage which, If mot
checked, might rend and tear Canada
to the very roots" it was declared. A
letter had been read from Gen. Curry
commander of the Canadian forces
Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that from
the bottom of his heart he wished the
resources of Canada would allow the
sending of not merely a half million
but million men, but 1t was a ques-
ton of how many men could be taken
fro mthe nation without imperiling
the Industrial and agricultural indus
tries and the very life Of the country

OTTAWA. July 25.-The conscrip-
ton bill passed the house of commons
yesterday by majority of fifty-four. It
now goes to the senate, where its
speedy enactment into law Is assured
by the presence of a substantial ma
jority supporting the government.
The majority upon the third read
ing In the commons was nine below
that given when the principle of con-
scriptton was adopted on second read
ing. This was due to absence OF a
number of conscriptionists.
There was no practical change in
the lineup. English-speaking con-
sentative members voted solidly for
the bill and twenty-five Of the English
speaking liberal supporters of Sir Will
frid Laurier broke away and voted
for the government measure. The re-
mainder of Sir Wilfrids followers vot-
ed with him against CONSUMPTION and
they were Joined by five French mem
bers who were elected to support the
government.
The vote for CONSUMPTION was al
most entirely English and the vote
against it was very largely French.
