Decides to Aid Allies in Fighting
German Influence In
Russia.
KEEP PLANS SECRET
Conference at White House Outlines
Plan of Action-MiIitary Men Be-
lieve Expedition on an Extended
Scale Is ImpracticabIe.

Washington, July Sat confer
ence at the White House between
President Wilson Secretaries Lansing
Baker and Daniels. Admiral Benson
chief of naval operations, and Gen
eral March, army chief of staff, Am
erica's waiting policy in regard t.
military action in Russia is under
stood to have ended.
There was no announcement after
the conference and probably will be
none for the present, but it was said
unofficially an important decision had
been reached.
Urgent appeals from the Allied gov
ernments for American approval Of
and cooperation in joint measures tc
meet the German menace throughout
Russia have been before President
Wilson for several days.
Until now, however, there has been
no intimatio1 he had changed his po
sition, based on recommendations OF
his military advisers that a successful
military effort in Russia was not
feasible.
For military reasons strictest sec
recy is observed concerning the exact
nature of steps proposed by the AL
lies.
American and Allied naval forces
are guarding war supplies both at
Vladivostok, terminal of the Trans
Siberian railroad, and Kola, terminal
of the railroad on the Arctic coast
which is reported threatened by Ger
man forces in the interior.
Belief among the majority Of Am 81
lean military men that no expedition
on an extended scale should be under
taken in the East apparently has I'M
dergone no change. In fact, one Of
fetal more than intimated that the
decisions did not mean the embarka
ton of any great military force across
the Pacific.
AS to whether it meant operations
by an international force of Japanese
French and British, with Americans in
sufficient numbers to demonstrate par
ticipation of the United States, nc
one would say.
Regardless of the secrecy observed
however, the plain intimation was Civ
en- that the White House conference
marked the end of the period OF
waiting which began on Bolshev1ki
acceptance of the Brest-Litovsk treaty
whereby Germany gained control Of a
large section of Russia and paved the
way for extending her influence east.

WILLING TO TAKE CHANCES
pImentary to the Lawyers in
the Courtroom.

The conversation in the lobby of
a Washington hotel turned to the bud
ding lawyer when this little anecdote
was smilingly related by Representa-
tive Edward e. Brown Of Wisconsin :
Recently man was arrested on a
minor charge, and on the appointed
day was hailed into court for trial.
"Just a moment" remarked the
judge, interrupting the preliminary
proceedings. "Has the prisoner at the
bar no counsel?"
''No, sir" spoke up the prisoner. 81
couldn't afford to employ a lawyer"
"In that event the court will appoint
counsel for you," returned the Judge,
glancing at a group of budding law
yers who were seated in the court
room. '"There are Mr.. Jones, Mr..
Smith, Mr. Green and Mr.. Brown, and
also another fellow out in the corridor.
Which do you preferY
eff it's all the same to you, judge"
was the startling rejoinder of the pris-
oner, II will take the fellow that's out
in the corridor" -Philadelp Eve

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would adj
wise our readers who feel in need of such q
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes,

Help if Country Is to Feed
Allies.


Washington, Feb. 17.-Shortage of
farm labor may result in shortage of
food, which may mean famine for
the United States and the world. This
fact has come home to authorities in
Washington with tremendous force.
The farm labor problem, as part
OF the big labor problem through the
country, is engaging the attention of
the president. the secretary of agri-
culture. and members of congress who
specialize on labor and farm subjects.
Draft Takes Many.
The draft has taken large num-
ber of farm boys and an additional
number have been lured by higher
wages into munitions Industries and
other occupations.
There is less Floating labor" than
ever before in history.
Will the women have to turn out ?
Can boys of high school age be or
ganized and got on the job in time
What is there to do about 1t?
In reply to these questions, Secre-
tary of Agriculture David f. Houston
set down the following as his depart

IF we put our minds to the task,
there are many things which can be
done to help furnish relief. The most
promising lines and the ones which
cover what we have undertaken are
as follows.
Survey to be Made.
First, systematic survey OF the
farm labor situation in order to as
certain the possible needs of farmers
and to determine ways Of meeting
them. The department, before the be-
ginning of the, next crop season,
through its agents stationed in the
states and in cooperation with the
department of labor and the state
councils of defense, will make such
survey.
Second, the promotion of fuller
cooperation In the utilization of la

petrograd, Saturday. Feb. 9.--News
of the capture of Kiev was contained
in an official dispatch received by
Bolshevik headquarters. The soviet
forces, under Colonel Muravieff, who
defeated Kerensky at the beginning OF
the last revolution, re-entered the
city, from which the Ukraine forces
had fled after releasing the BoIshe-
vik authorities whom they had i'm
prisoned.
The correspondents of the Petro-

at Kiev, says 1t can be compared only
to the havoc, death and destruction
wrought by the natorious Jewish
pogrom in 1905 on Thursday, when
the fighting was at its height, aviators
were bombing the house and there
was promiscuous shooting from win
dows and roofs Killed and wounded

Colonel Muravieff has telegraphed
that he succeeded in uniting the Boil

regiment, combining against General
Alexieff.
Constant reinforcements are pour
ing southwark to the soviet forces
which are reported to have defeated
the advance guard of Alexieff's
troops in skirmish near voronezh
but which apparently as yet have not
engaged in any real battle.
The other Alexieff wing, under

Eredell was wounded.
