Slav Leader Says People Can't
Understand Baltic Delay.
German Ships of War Are Now
Out in the Sea.
MASSES WORN ECONOMICALLY
Doubt Possibility of the Attain
ment of Their Hopes.
Russia Has Been Fighting Is
Months Longer Than Allies.

Petrograd, Nov. Thurs
day)-Russia is worn out by the
strain of war and must have
help, Premier Kerensky today
told the Associated Press. He
said that Russia claims as her
right that the other allies now
should shoulder the burden
(which she has borne.
Russia, the premier declared,
has been fighting eighteen
months longer than England and
Russia has fought her battles
alone and is fighting alone.
The world must not lose faith
in the Russian revolution be-
cause it is an economc one. No
one, the premier added, has the
right to feel disillusioned about
it as it takes years to develop a
stable government.
Americas most useful way of
helping Russia is in sending
boots, leather, iron and money.
Premier Kerensky said it
would be impossible for the Unit
ed States to send troops because
the difficulties of transport
would be too great.
Not Out of War.
Russia is not out of the war, Pre-
mier Kerensky- said in answer to re-
ports to the contrary.
Russia has fought consistently
since the beginning. She saved France
and England from disaster early in the
war. She is now worn out by the
strain. and claims as her right that
the allies now shoulder the burden"
Premier Kerensky explained Rus
.sia's position to the correspondent.
The premier was seated in the library
of the former private office of the en-
peror in the winter palace. The cor
respondent called attention to widely
contra dictory reports on Russian con-
ditions. and asked the premier for a
frank statement of the facts.
1T has been said by travellers re-
turning from England and elsewhere
to America that opinion among the
people not officially. but generally. is
that Russia virtually is out of the
war" it was explained.

answered lis a ridiculous question.
Russia is taking an enormous part ir
the war. One has only to remember
history Russia began the war for the
allies While she already was fight
ing England only was preparing, and
America only was observing.
Russia at the beginning bore the
whole brunt of the fighting thereby
saving Great Britain and France. Peo-
pie who say she is out of the war have
short memories. We have fought
since the beginning and they must
now take the heaviest part of the
burden on their shoulders

The Nav Meeting.


It will be recalled that at the May
meeting of the society, when the name
of Col. Alfred A. Richardson was for
the third time sent to the governor,
the entire old membership list of 1916
as turned over by the former sercre-
tary. Miss Belle Williams, who is
member of the anti-Richardson fac
ton, was recognized, and those on the
list, together with members taken in
since that time, allowed to vote, ire
spective of whether or not they had
kept up their dues. Even with this
concession On the part of the Rich
ardson faction, Colonel Richardson's
majority over Mr.. Wade Hampton
Gibbes was overwhelming, and would
still have been Overwhelming had ev-
ery proxy submitted by the Gibbes
faction, irrespective of its eligibility,
been counted. When the governor for
the third time returned Colonel Rich
ardson's name as unsuitable" Presi-
dent Adams sent out letters asking
for an expression of the society S
choice in order to break the deadlock
and President Adams himself was
named bv 2O6 out of 21S who replied
