Kerensky Risks All
in Effort to Prevent
Russian Revolution

Petrograd, July 23.-The chaotic
conditions prevailing on part of the
Russian front are disclosed in a tel
gram sent to Premier Kerensky, the
provisional government and the
Council of Workmen's and Soldiers
Delegates by the executive commit
tee and the commissioner of the
provisional government with the sec
ond army, on the southwestern front.
Tho telegram announced the inaugu-
ration of stern measures to combat
disaffection.
we unanimously recognize that
the situation demands extreme meas
ures and efforts for everything must
be risked to save the revolution from
catastrophe" the message reads.
The commander-in-chie of the
western front and the commander of
the second army to-day have given
orders to lire on deserters and run
aways.
To Act Without Mercy
Let the country know the truth.
Let 1t act without mercy. Let IT
md enough courage to strike those
VINO by their cowardice are Destroy
ing Russia and the revolution"
Referring to the threatened dis
aster, the telegram says:
Most military units are in a state
OF complete disorganization Their
spirit for the offensive has utterly
disappeared. They no longer listen
to orders of their leaders and they
neglect all exhortations of comrades,
even replying with threats and shots.
Some elements voluntarily evacuate
positions without even waiting for
the approach of the enemy.
Reinforcements Delayed
Gases are on record in which an
order given to proceed with all haste
to such and such a spot to assist
comrades in distress has 1een dis
cussed for several hours at meetings
and reinforcements consequently
have been delayed several hours.
These troops abandon their posi-
tons at the first shots of the enemy.
For distance of several hundred
versts long files of deserters armed
and unarmed, men in good health
and robust, who have lost all shame
and feel they can act altogether with
lmpunity, are proceeding to the rear.
Frequently entire units desert in this
manner"

Sheppard First Murder
Convict From County to
Die in Electric Chair

Bellefonte, Pa, July 23.-Cornelius
Sheppard, a southern negro who less
than a year ago shot a man at
Brownstone near Harrisburg, was
electrocuted at tho Western Peniten-
tiary to-day. Four contacts were
made and five minutes after he was
placed in the chair he was pronounce
ed dead by DR.. Robert j. Campbell
The body will be buried in the Pent-
tentiary Cemetery.
Sheppard was the first murder
convict from Dauphin county to die
in the electric chair. Nickolo Ko-
tur, who was sentenced to be elec-
trocuted at the same time, has been
granted respite until October 1, so
that his case can be presented to the
Board of Pardons.

Faces Difficult Task

races DllIlCulJ IaSh
The mandate of this committee
is TO restore public order, poth at
the front and at home-adnlttetu,
q diffcult task in the face Oh the
nowerful influence both within anu
without the nation working aSaliiSt
the present regime. 1t is eVluentl9
one, however, with which herensHS ~ : :
concededly the strongest man 10 De
found for the task, is willing 10
grapple with all his widely recos-
nized force and ability.
The war situation for the mo
ment demands consideration cHIelIS
at the two points where tne Ger
mans have concentrated their MAN
military efforts-the yielding por-
ton of the Russian front IN eastern
Galicia and the section OF the flelloii
front near Craonne.
Different in West
In the former war theater there is
little sign as yet of a change on the
temper of the disaffected Russlah
loops sufficient to bring ABOUT an
effective resistance to the Teutonic
progress, which threatens disaster
~ the Russian arms.
On the western front there is
different story to tell. The des-
/ OllSldl5llNS Va
princes forces are being met with
gallant resistance by General Pc
tain's troops and such small pits OF
territory as have been gained by
the Germans have been dearly PAID
for.
Last night the German assaults
were renewed on the California and
Classmates plateauX, for the mastery
of which colossal efforts are being
made
on both these elevations, but Cen
eral Petain's men are clinging brave
ly to them both, although driven out
of first line trenches. The Ger
mans attacked the support trench on
the California plateau, but II was
retained by the French in its en-
tirety.
Little Encouragement
To-day official reports from the
Galician front are little If any more
encouraging than those of the last
few days. While efforts are being
made to restore order among the
Russian forces the AuStro-German
offensive between the Stripa and the
Zlota Lipa is being pushed and ad-
ditional villages have been occupied
by the Teutons.
Toward the northern end of the
Russian front the situation is DIFF
ferent. The Russians have taken the
offensive and opened a gap two miles
deep in an important sector of the
German line near Krevo and Wilma,
incidentally capturing more than
1000 Germans. Here, too, however
ctrain detachments appear to have
been worked upon by the extremists
and are lighting so indifferently as
to jeopardize the development of the
Russian success.

Washington, July 23.-John b.
White, of Kansas City, has resigned
as a member of the shipping board

have accepted the resignation. The

British Battle Tanks
Move Over All Obstacles

British headquarters in France
July 23.-Under the shelter of a green
ridge of shell-pocked farmland about
hfteen miles behind the present front
line trenches, one may come upon the
encampment of the tanks. The pa
rade ground is like a distorted page

A dozen of the monsters are lying
stretched out in the warm afternoon

WHO'S TO BLAME?

The nan of moderate means who
goes to the grocery store to buy food
or to the dry goods store to buy cloth
ing cannot escape the conviction that
in its efforts to protect the people
against outrageous prices the govern
ment has missed somebody Some
body is fa'tening off the war, and a
comparison of bills and schedules of
prices will show that 1t is not the re-
taller. The retailer would prefer to
sell at lower prices, but they cannot
and escape bankruptcy. The wage
earners of every class receive virtu-
ally the same as they received year
ago, yet they pay nearly twice as
much for shoes and a great deal more
for what they eat. Somebody is u.s.
ing the war as an opportunity for fat
tening purses and robbing people, and
the government will not have dis
charged it's duty to the people until it
has found and punished that some

or two of the life in camp, which |

months lacking II days. They fed us
well, also clothed us fine. l was 4.
members of Battery E, 317th F. A. at
Camp jackson. We sure had an ex-
cellent lor of officers. They were kind
and liberal with their fellow solliers
Camp life is sure full of many inter-
esting phases which all should learn.
Though failed to prove physically

cover and be of service some way to
my country, as now is time when al
should do what ever they can for the
cause Of liberty which our nation is
so bravely defending.
