rRy Associated Press !


NGToA, June ll.--There has
been no change in the policy Of the
American government Ia dealing with
the Russian situation.
In spite Of recurring rumors that mil
itary action ii Siberia by the allies.
with American support or approval, is
imminent. it was learned to-day that
no agreement has been reached on any
feasible plan for positive action ip re-
gard to Russia. and consequently. the
attitude Of the state Department is just
what ii has been since the subject was
broached.
The official view here IS that this
attitude must remain unchanged until
there is some further development Of
great Importance in Russia.
An authoritative explanation was
given to-day, after the Russian en-
bassy had transmitted to the State De-
partment an appeal to the United states
and the allies to send an cXpeditionary
force 10 Russia 70 repel the Germans
forwarded by the central committee OF
the Cadet party. The committee, which
speaks for the powerful Russian Con
stitutional Democratic froces. asked
that such an expedition be under inter
national control. to guarantee the
rights cf its country.
f Recent Developments. no; only in old
Russia. but in the Ukraine and in 81
beria aud a growing spirit OF unrest
in China and Japan. with increasing
pressure in the capitals Of the entente
powers for some sort Of concerted ac-
ton, have not been overlook cd by Of
fciais here. and the developments or
each day are being studied with the
closest attention. From the maze OF
contradictory reports which the cables
and mails bring daily TO Washington.
ii is difficult for the officials to ar
rive at amy exact understanding % the
situation as a whole.
1t is evident that the Bolshev!k gov
ernment is now meeting With strong
opposition. not only from the old con
| scrvative elements in Russia. but also
( from certain powerful factions just an

 In the circus part of the perform ance a score of acrobats went through their stunts to the delight of the audience. Their work was highly commendable and showed it was the result of careful training. Clowns and monkeys were very much in evil dence and their mirth provoking an- tics brought forth rounds of ap- plause.
 All in all last evenings entertain ment was the one best yet ever at tempted to be staged at the local "Y." The success of the affair is due to the careful work of the direc- tors. Miss Jane Colby presided at the piano and a special musical program was rendered by Meymerian's orches- | tra.

SUBMARINES DON'T
 BOTHER U. $. SHIPS
 ON WAY TO NORWAY

Christiania, March Vessels sail ing between America and Norway outside the danger zone and not touching British ports lately have not been attacked by Germans probably more in their own interests than for any special love of Norway. Germany for a long while has not been able to send food to Norway and as far as known has not promised to do so even if Norway refused to accept Ameri- can conditions for food export to this country.
 German vessels sailing to Norway must now have provisions, oil, and kerosene for the whole round trip and will only in exceptional cases be allowed to get small quantities of Norwegian products.
 Some great Norwegian factories producing articles for export to Ger many are run by German coal, oil and kerosene as are fishing vessels obtaining fish for export to Germany.
 Norway at present receives from Germany steel and iron for construc- tion and is absolutely dependent on Germany for the import of potassium compound kainite which is used ex- tensively for fertilizing.

DOWN AND OUT MOTHER BRACES UP. SURPRISES
 WHOLE FAMILY

She had worked, loved and was happy in doing for her children, and when she started to break down they were frantic, were willing to do al- most anything to make her last years happy and free from worry and ill., ness. Nothing they did seemed to help; doctors, medicines or rest gave no results.
 Finally, when all were about desperate with worry a neighbor in- duced them to try Phosphated Iron. It had worked such wonders with her old folks. Ready to grasp at any help they got a supply and the way their mother improved from the start was almost too good to believe. It sure was a happy and reunited family and you can bet they are all boosting Phosphated Iron to the limit. .-s
 Doctors the world over will tell you what Phospates and Iron will build up and store strength and energy. against old age and nervous break downs. One of our leading physicians says, ''The results I have obtained with Phosphated Iron have been great in cases of old people, where it was necessary to build up strength, revive bodily functions. give them life, renewed youth and health.''
 There must be something to it. Doctors and druggists all tell the same story of success.
 Special Notice-To insure physi- clans and their patients getting the genuine Phosphatcd Iron it is put up in capsules only. Do not allow dealers to give you pills or tablets, insist on capsules. Hindle's Drug Stores and leading druggists every where.-Adv

THE JUOAEANS" CALL UPON THEIR| PEOPLE TO FIGHT
Jewish Battalion Which Left New York Sends Back
 Message

On the eve of our departure for Judea, we the members of the First Contingent of the Jewish Battalion, send hearty greetings to our com panions already fighting under the British Flag in our old homeland.
 To them as well as to our comrades in training in England we wish to convey by our enlistment in the Jew ish Battalion that thousands of young Jews in this country are about to join them. The definite assurance of the British government that we would be allowed fight in the coun- try which it has promised to aid in returning to the Jewish people and to bear the Jewish flag as our regi- mental colors has called forth the unbounded enthusiasm of the con- scious Jewry of America.
 It is another just and wise step taken by the British government look ing towards the return of Jewry to Judea, a step which has electrified the Jewish youth of America. Unfor- tunately the political situation of the United States renders it impossible for tens of thousands already in the camps and others about to be called upon to serve this country from joining us. But to those who are available for this service we appeal to give themselves to the ideal cf fighting both for the liberation of the world and of their people.
 We who are already enlisted feel that we have been granted a. unique privilege. The passionate hope, nur- tured through the centuries, the hope of engaging in the war of liberation of Judea, has been fulfilled, and we pray that we shall not be found wanting in the hour of trial. We trust that of us, too, it may be said, as was said by Col. Patterson of the Zionist Camel Corps, also a wholly Jewish unit, that "the Zionists show ed themselves fearless to a degree when under heavy fire''
 The Jews of England have already taken up the shield of David as their banner. The call has now come to the un-draftable Jews of this coun- try. This is no hour for half-heart-
 
 battle-cry of the world, and of the Jews. Since the beginning of the war the Jews have unstintingly giv- en their lives for all lands. Now they have the historic opportunity of fighting for Judea- We cannot af- ford to let Englands offer be turned into mockery because of a lack of response The Jews of this country now have the opportunity of effacing the slur of indifference that has rest ed on them. Through the far-seeing generosity of the British government, Palestine has become a tangible pros pect. The old charges of Utopian- ism that have been proffered against the Zionist aim have been destroyed Judea lies waiting for the glad foot fall of her returning sons. We call on our brothers to battle flor our People and for the Land of our Fath- erS''

STAMFORD
Especial to The Times.l

Stratford, March 1-The first ship. ment of anthracite coal to reach the coal yards of Edwin c. Hall, local coal dealer, in five weeks, arrived yesterday. Distribution of the car which contained about 50 tons, began immediately and more than half the contents were disposed of. The fue. was sold in half ton lots at $50. By this evening it is expected that all the coal will have been delivered.
 Owing to the recent severe zero weather and the frozen condition of the Housatonic river, MT. Hall was unable to procure coal. As result he was forced to suspend his coal business and for the past five weeks has not sold a pound of fuel to any one. The local dealer has been prom ised a barge load of coal and was mo- tified that just as soon as the river is clear of ice foes several shipments will be sent.
