SMALL SAVINGS FUNDS
GO TOWARD PURCHASE
OF FARMS, SAY DEALERS

The fact that farmers are having
difficulty in getting help does not
mean that Wayne county is entirely
out of harmony with the nationwide
back to the farm movement"
Employees in the county recorders
office last year said today that there
was noticeable increase in small
land transactions last year. People
with small savings are investing them
in small farm lands.
Real estate men said today that
they are observing that town people
are taking more interest in small
farms.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at
any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful
of the tea, put a cup of boiling water
upon it, pour through a sieve and
drink a teacup full at any time. 1t is
the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores, relieving congestion. Also
loosens the bowels, thus breaking a
cold at once
1t is inexpensive and entirely vege-
table, therefore harmless.

In a day or two these dried and formed

to break out about every two weeks,

so intense we had to keep her hands tied

Kerensky Sends Ukase
To Troops in Petrograd

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia cable
gram received here to-day from Petro-
grad via Paris says the newspaper
"Narjdnce Slovo," organ of the popu-
lar Socialists in Russia, publishes a
ukase by Kerensky, dated from Cat
china. announcing his arrival there at
the head of loyal troops and ordering
all units of the garrison who had
icined the Bolsheviki TO return imme-
diately to their duties.
The paper also prints an order from
General Kornilof, who had been named
by Kerensky as commandant OF the
forces and Of the operations against
Petrograd, demanding from the garri-
son that delegates should be sent to
him in order to know who were traitors
TO the country.
Russian soldiers in France have
united in n telegram to Kerensky, a
copy of which has been forwarded to
Washington, expressing their con-
fidence in the Russian leader and urg-
ing him to fight the extremists. The
troops pledged themselves to respond
to any call Kerehsky may make upon
them and urged him TO deal pitilessly
with the Bolscheviki and secret coun-
ter revolutionists.
Their telegram concludes: you are
the only guarantee for our safety; be
firm and pitiless toward the enemies
of Russia"

Wilson to Instruct
u. S. Delegates on NeW
Allied War Council

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The re-
marks of Premier Lloyd George in
Paris in which he emphasized the i'm
portance of the inter-Allied war coun-
Gil, intimating that victory or defeat
might depend upon its successful func-
tioning, has led authorities in Allied
circles here TO believe that it is his
purpose to induce the French, Ameri-
can and Russian governments to sub
scribe TO his and the Italian view, that
such a council is of vital consequence,
and that it ought to be empowered to
control the entire military operations
of the nations warning against the
Central Empires.
The inter-Allied war conference
meets in Paris on November 10, and it
is believed the American delegates will
have received instructions from Presi-
dent Wilson in respect of the war
council before that time, so that they
NAV be able TO present the views of
this government on that question.
For the United States to partici-
pate in the war council would involve
Americas sharing in the responsibility
for the conduct of the war against
Austria-H Hungary. Bulgaria and Turkey
against which this country is not at
war; and some persons hold the view
that action by Congress would be
necessary, recognizing the existence OF
a state of war with those nations.
The appointment of an American
officer on the council, so far as is
known, has not been considered in
Washington, and 10 decision is likely
until after the conclusion of the Paris
conference

Bolshevik Forces
Reported Besieged in
Kremlin at MoscoU
lBy The Associated Pr,ssl

PETROGRAD, Nov. 12.-Petrograd
was still IN the hands Of the Bolshe-
Wiki to-day, after desperate street bat
ties on Sunday, in which a few brave
military cadets were killed or capt
ured by Bolsheviki forces upon whom
the cadets inflicted heavy losses. Mean
while the city awaits anxiously the
coming Of Premier. Kerensky, who IS
reported to be nearing Petrograd. but
seems TO have his headquarters at
Gatchina.
The new Bolshevik government,
headed by Nikolai Lenine and Leon
Trotzky. is having anything but an
easy time in controlling the city, as
the Committee Of Public Safety, which
includes all the elements opposing
them. is seeking TO establish new
Socialist government. They continue
to placard the streets with demands
that the Bolsaeviki realize their folly
and consent to lay down their arms
and await the coming of Kerensky."
Ministers Released
Most Of the ministers of the Keren-
sky Cabinet. who were captured after
the eight-hour battle at the Winter
Palace last Wednesday night, have
been released from the Fortress Of st.
Peter and st. Paul. Terestchenko
and Konovaloff are still behind the
prison walls. as are the military cadets
CAPTURED in the battle at the telephone
exchange on Sunday.
The American Consul General at
Moscow. telegraphing to Ambassador
Francis under Sundays date. confirms
reports of fighting there between the
Bolsheviki and the Provisional Gov
eminent forces. The consul general
says:
at seems the government troops are
winning. John f. Stevens is here. but
cannot get in touch with him. as con-
sulate is centre of ighting. All Amer
leans safe. Rumors COssacks already ar
rived" -,
Ambassador Francis. who says he will
remain here to look after the interests
of his government and the safety OF
American citizens. has received no Of
fers from the Bolsheviki government
or any word from Washington since
November 3.
Mr.. Stevens. as chairman of the
American Railway Commission. went 20
Moscow to act as special adviser to the
government in connection with the OPP
Grafton of Russian railways.
Besieged in Kremlin
The Bolsheviki report officially that
Moscow is still in their hands, al
though a telegram TO the Committee
of Public Safety on Sunday said that
the Kerensky adherents there had
driven the Bolsheviki into the Kremlin,
where they were besieged.
Among the reports heard is one indi-
eating that Lenine and Trotzky are
aboard the cruiser Aurora and direct
ing operations from that place Of
safety.
The scenes on the street to-day were
similar 20 those of last Thursday,
when the people quietly transacted
their business rs thsugh no bullets had
disturbed them.

Japan's Policy Hands Of;
No Troops to Russia

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Japan is
watching developments in Russia with
the greatest interest. But even if there
should be an equilibrium established
between the two contending factions
for the supreme authority and one
should be favored in preference to the
other by the Allied nations and should
request Japanese military aid, Japan
would not send forces into Russia, II
was stated by a high authority to-day
He said: A..
Japan will scrupulously respect the
right of the Russian people to estab-
lish their own government. Japan's
only interests affecting Russia ARISE
from her treaty relations with Russia,
and il will not recognize any authority
there which repudiates the country's
treaty engagements. 1t was with this
understanding that Russia would rec
ognize the treaties with Japan that
Japan extended recognition to the Pro-
visional Government.
Japan, however, will be at liberty
to furnish arms and munitions TO
whatsoever government exists, and this
circumstance may AFFECT the situation,
as Vladivostok will be the principal
entreport, and whoever has control Of
it will have a tremendous advantage
over all adversaries."

Kerensky is doomed if he has allied
himself with Korniloff. Kerensky is
bound TO win il he wages his fight
against the Bolsheviki as the head OF
the Minimalist and Social Revolution
airy parties.
This, in a nutshell, is the Russian
situation to-day. Never since its birth
has the new Russia faced a darker
future. Bloody civil war has cngulfed
the young republic. Unless speedily
terminated, this fratricidal struggle
will eliminate in the destruction of
free Russia.
The quick termination of the strug-
gle can come only through compro-
mise or speedy and decisive victory.
A compromise is possible only if
Kerensky il not backed and supported
by Korniloff.
Why? Because to the revolutionary
democracy Of Russia Korniloff Is the
symbol of imperialism, reaction, CAPT
talism, and everything else that is OPP
posed to Socialism.
Represents Hated Discipline
KorniloF the personality, Korniloff
the patriot, no longer exists in the
imagination of the Russian masses. To
them Kornloff has become the embodi-
ment of the forces challenging free
dom, Of the elements supposed to be
working for the restoration of Gar.
ism. Korniloff stands, in the eyes Of
both the Bolshevibi and Mensheviki
(Minimalists), for severe discipline.
for repression, for rule of blood and
iron.
This is no phraseology. A casual
glance at the latest Russian papers ar
irving in this country shows how deep
is the hatred of all Russian revolu-
tionists, whether extremist or moderate,
for Korniloff and his followers.
Now, imagine Kerensky joining hands
with Kornilof, the generally supposed
standard bearer Of reaction. 1t is diffl-

Japan to Sell Its
Vessels for Steel
Dutch Steamers Will Bring
Argentine Wheat and
Sugar From Java

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - The
United States is about to add several
hundred thousand tons of shipping to
the fleet carrying American troops and
supplies to Europe. Negotiations with
the northern Europe neutrals and with
Japan for tonnage have reached q
final stage, and the' vessels obtained
either will go directly into transat-
lantic routes or will release American
ships for this service.
The European neutrals, it vas
learned tonight, finally have agreed
to turn over to the United States and
the Allies ships in exchange for food
stuffs that only America can supply.
The quantities of food TO be fur
nished will be determined later. but
the neutrals have the assurance Of the
American government that they will be
given, enough to meet their necessary
requirements. Some food may be re-
leased next month.
To Buy Japanese Vessels
Japan will sell outright to the United
States a large amount of tonnage nov

The amount Of tonnage the United
States is obtaining is not known, but
there are in American ports now more
than 100000 tons Of neutral ships
which will be put into some American
service.
A large part Of the Norwegian mer-
chant marine, most of which is owned
in Great Britain, already is in the
Allied service.
The Dutch insisted that none OF
their vessels be put into service that
would take them through the war zone.
Most Of the Dutch ships to be turned
over probably will transport 10 the

Food Allowances Next
Two important points remain to be
cleared. One of these is just how much
food the neutrals will require, and the
other is how far the neutrals may 60

second presents a more difficult prob
lem.
Norway and Sweden, it is said, are
ready to stop the shipment to Germany
of all foodstuffs supplanted by supplies
from the United States, but Holland has
so far declined to give assurances as to
dairy supplies.
Sweden, it is said, will be asked also to
discontinue the export Of iron ore and
certain other materials to Germany. and
this government, it is declared, is de-
termined that no American cattle feeds
shall be used by Holland so long as
dairy shipments continue to find their

the news dispatches carry 1t as TACT
II il is so, then il can mean only one
thing-namely, that Kerensky VIII ior,
felt the support of the Minimalists and
Of his own Social Revolutionary party
The latter two would join hands 10

thus sealing the fate of both KerensKy
and Korniloff and establishing coali-
ton Socialist ministry, pledged to rad
ical foreign and home policies.
However. il is not probable Una.
Kerensky has united with Kornilof.
Kerensky realizes that his only Strength

What truth would that be? The fact
that Kerensky is disputing the usurpa-

lists and Social Revolutionaries. me
Bolsheviki have little chance Of over
coming these moderate parties, which
are especially strong outside OF the
large cities. Sooner or later they are
bound 10 succumb to them.
The Bolsheviki know it. They know
that their only hope is in soaring the
radicals by a Kerensky-Korniloff buga,

about linking the two. But as soon as
they are confronted with the reality,
i. e., that they are opposed by the mod
