Former Premier Had Many
Hardships Escaping
From Russia
LOUDLY CHEERED
BY LONDON CROWD
Confident His Country Will
Soon Be Fighting With
\ Allies Again
(By Associated Press.N

london, June 26.-Alexander Ker-
ensky, former provisional premier OF
Russia, has arrived in London. He
Is on his way to America.
Ex-Premier Kerensly has been in
London for several days. He has
kept in retirement, however. Those
who have seen him say he has gone
through remarkable adventures in
escaping from Russia. -
Kerensl1y was introduced to the
British labor conference here this af-
ternoon and was received by the del
egates with loud cheers.s b.
washing ton, June 28.-London dis
patches today reporting Alexander
Kerensky there and on his way to
the United States. besides bringing
the first definite information of the
former Russian dictators where
abouts since he was deposed over
night months ago, opened a wide field
of speculation on the purpose Of his
visit here.
Whether his sudden appearance in
London and his coming visit to the
United States have been arranged in
connection with the consideration
over the Russian situation does not
appear on the surface. Neither does
1t appear whether Kerenskys plans
are all his own or whether they have
been shared by those in the United
States who are working to put Rus
sia back into the war on the side Of
the entente allies.
For some time powerful forces have
been gathering within Russia itself
to restore order and set up a gov
ernment which the allies could rec
ognize and with which they could be
in accord. Or what use Kerensky
may be in the general plan being
worked out by the allies and the
United States for the rehabilitation
of Russia is not known. Every one
in official circles seems to agree,
however. that his visit to England
and the United States has many far
reaching possibilities.
London, June 26.-"I believe indeed
I am certain said the former pre-
nier, that the Russian people will
shortly join you in the fight for the
great cause Of freedom"

It's something of a joke on N. H

Ninth district. -.
He can't even vote for himself.
Mr.. HinkIe is registered as q
Democrat In The first precinct Of the
Fifth ward, while he has declared, in
his petition filed as a candidate for
the legislature, that he is a Repub-
Iican.
Mr.. HinkTe's name Is on the Re-

But. then, as one observer re-.
marked this morning, a man has a
right TO change his politics or re-

Tremendous Vote Indicat-
ed By Reports From -
Various Sections y.
MANY MAKE CALLS
FOR MORE SUPPLIES
Good Weather Conditions
Over Entire State Will
Boost Total

Splendid weather conditions over
the whole state, together with the
intense campaign that has been con-
Quoted, augurs for a tremendous
vote in today's primary election.
Indications are that at least $4,000
voters will call for the Republican
ballot, compared with a total of
1859 votes cast two years ago for
the Republican candidates for gov
ernor-Messrs. Frazier, Burdick,
FraIne and Smith.
Early voting was the rule in Far
go. and at noon over, 1000 Republi-
can ballots had been cast At
o'clock, there were over 1000 Re-
publican ballots, while the voters
were at that hour coming to the
polls in large numbers.
Two years ago, Cass county cast
A,240 votes, while there are this
year over $500 Republican voters
Registered in the county. It Is ex-
pected that at least so to 80 per
cent of the men registered as Re-
pubncans will cast their ballots.
Socialists Are Absent. <
Socialists are absent from the
having robbed the Socialist party of
practically it's whole membership. 1t
dis the first time in many years that
the Socialists have been without a
state ticket.
The Democratic vote also is light,
as many Democrats have registered
as Republicans to take part in the
fight between the Nonpartisan
aeague and the opposition.
Both Make Big Claims
Both sides were making big claims
as the campaign closed. William
Lenke, OF the NonpaTtisan league,
who estimated that Hughes would
carry the state for President by S5,-
O00 when he was defeated in the
state by President Wilson, made an
estimate for the benefit OF league
meeting Friday afternoon that Fraz-
Ter would get 10000 more votes
than he did in the 1915 primary. in
other words, that he would get CO.,
600 votes.
Eteen forces are confident, says
Theodors Nelson. campaign man
ager, that they will have a $4,000
margin when the ballots are count
ed.
Election Supplies Asked.
The heavy vote in rural precincts
and small towns was indicated by
calls that came TO County Auditor
Tucker of Cass county today for ad-
ditional ballots. These were sup
piled In al1sinstances

The polls close at~5ao'clocls this af-

and a bulletin servics will be main

turns compared with the vote two
years ago. the following tabulatlon
OF the official canvass of the vote for

SUMMARY OF THE War

Now that the Piave line is again
intact the italians have begun oper"
ations on the mountain front looking
to the further Improvement Of the
positions there.
On the northwestern slopes OF
Monte Grappa, between the Brenta
and the PiaVe. the Italians have gain
ed considerable ground and taken
more than 1900 prisoners.
italian attacks on the mountain
front probably are for the purpose of
forestaIlina any intended enemy eff
fort there as we'll as to improve the
Italian positions. Strong raids are
being carried out also on the Aeiago
plateau.
The Italian gain on Monte Grappa,
mountain 10 the key position to the
terrain between the Brenta and the
Piave and dominated the hills south-
ward to the Venetian plain. II was
on this height that the Austrians met
with failure in their attempts ten
days ago to reach the plain from the
north.
In completing the reeapture of the
western bank Of the Piave the ltal-
ians added / 800 prisoners to the al
ready large number taken from the
enemy. While the sudden rise of the
river distressed the Austrians who
had crossed to the western bank, tho
river fell during the enemy retreat,
Italian pursuit on the eastern bank.
Apparently the Italians have been
content to hold TO strong bridgehsads
on the eastern bank rather than 70
pursue the enemy any distance east
ward.
VENNA's CLAIMS.
Vienna officially places the italian
losses at. 10000 INCLUDING $1,000
prisoners. IL admits the retirement
across the Piave from monteiIo TO
the Adriatio, but intimates that the
Italians did not press the retiring
Austrians very closely. In their ef-
forts on the mountain front, IL 10 add
ed, the Italians were repuIsed oon-
pleteIy.
Raidlns operations continue on the
front from Switzerland TO the sea,
especially between Ypres and Rheims
whore further heavy fighting un-
doubtedly will take place. German
soldiers are reported as being de-
pressed over the Austrian defeat and
II is held likely In allied quarters
that they will make a strong effort
almost immediately in order TO keep
up the German and Austrian morale
behind tho lines.
Apparently Germany has given up
hope of reaching a decision on the
field Of battle II the speech of For
eign Secretary kuehlmann ls an indi-
cation. He declared that peace must
come through negotiation and said
that the appearance on European
fronts, Of soldiers from overseas had
made this necessary. The secretary
could give no idea of when the war
would end. His effort was received
coIdly by tho reiohtaa.
The official view In Washington
was that the speech was q peace
move and that Germany now invites
proposai0 from the entente. Il 10 felt
that the move 10 similar 10, othsra
which have followed GeFmaH Or Aus
trian failures to bring a quick dccis-
lon In the field.
On the other hand Germany still
moves forward in her conquest Of
Russia. IL 10 reported that 5000
German troops have been landed at
Poti, q TranscauoasiRn port on the
Black sea, which he's rail connections
with the important centers Of TifIis,
Batun1, and Baku. Batum is In the
hands of the Turks.

Of watchful waiting and listening, says

Finally Billy gave himself away.
He was pretending that he was a rail-

the real thing, with the exception that
his voice had soprano instead of a
