BLOOD AND IRON POLICY

Petrograd, July 24-"A blood and iron" policy will be put into effect if needed to save Russia by the govern ment of Premier kerensky, to which un- limited power has been granted. In an interview today the premier said:
 Relying upon the confidence of the masses and the army, the government will save Russia and Russian unity by blood and iron, If argument and reason. honor and conScience are not sufficient. The situation at the front is very serious and demands heroic measures. But l am convinced the organism of the state IS sufficiently vigorous to be cured with out partial amputation."
 Premier kerensky, who gave the inter- vieW 10 the Associated Press, announced that he wolud return to the front when the constitution of his government had been completed. He continued:
 FIRST PROBLEM
 The first problem of the present mo- ment which is exceptionally heroic is the concentration and unison of power The desertion of the constitutional dem- ocrauc members of the Prince Lyoff gov ernment, which assertion is the cause of the recent revolt, shows how strong are the centrifugal forces and how small is the sum of our political consciousness. But l am convinced the misfortune
 
 the conscience and sense of duty in our nation.
 The new governments Fundamental task is the defense of the country from ruin and anarchy. In this we rely upon the masses of the people and the army. My government will save Russia, and If It's motives of reason, honor and con- science prove insufficient it will beat her Into unity with blood and iron.
 RIDICULOUS REPORTS
 NO one will dare take advantage of the present situation in order to attempt to restore the old regime. I brand ridicu- lous the talk about a coming counter revolution under my leadership
 The new government must immediate ly stop the retreat and the economic dissolution and restore the country's s fiances. We expect Russians to forget their personal interests and to have in mind only the highest interests of the country"
 Regarding conditions on the front, Premier Kerensky said:
 "The position of our army is serious requiring heroic measures. But we must not despair The old regime and certain extermist elements brought much poison into the arms and body. Now the ulcer Is cut and as the state organism is healthier. am convinced we shall avoid amputation.
 My new government Is resolved to in- creasesand to confirm the conquests of revpfution and to put resolutely an end to%the work of the madmen and traitors who would destroy my fatherland.'

The Kaiser's Vision
By JEROME B. BELL.

In ltful dreams the guilty Kaiser
sleeps.
Disturbed by visions OF his flendlsh
deeds;
Around him in the trenches. stark,
there lie
A million men bereft OF life. With
eyes
Classy and sightless, and with faces
drawn
They make mute testimony 70 the
greed
o. bis cruel power and his heartless
code
And then he gazes out upon the sea
Where ships are being sunk at his COM
mand;
And In the waters frantic mothers die.
While clutching to their breasts their
helpless babes.
Yet stolidly he looks upon the scene.
Except that now and then ryric smile
Fits like an evil shadow DER his face,
And IN his callous heart he laughs TO
scorn
The twinges OF his conscience; and nc
says:
II shall not stay my hand iii l have
won
The station that ! covet in the sun "
Anon. a chilling air upon him blows
Dense, noxious gasses sm!te him in
the face
TIL he can scarcely breathe. His
senses reel,
And plainly to his sight there doth
appear
A host OF human forms-the ghosts Of
those
Whom he has slain; and in each phan-
tom hand
A fearful knout Is held; and in each
face
He reads his doom. Around him lie
The bleak expanses OF rocky Isle.
Far out in the Pacific; and he sees
Before him pick and shovel. Sterniy
point
His cariors to the stony ground and
cry:
dig, thou Berlin brute; as long as
life doth last,
The endless excavation OF a trench
Shall be thy task" And then upon him
rained
A shower OF blows He suddenly awoke.
And n his mind he saw his dread Ge-
henna,
The lonely. sterile isle OF St. Helena

CRIES TRAVELLING TO CLEVELAND FOR
FIRST INVASION OF WEST THIS SEASON.

Harry Hooper was the only man who
tried to steal on him, and the veteran
star OF the SoX got away with it
Val, however, came through with two
hits in his four trips to the plate.
One Of his hits sent a run across the
plate for the Senators. The former
Mackman will remain with the Sena-
tors II he continues to display the
brand of baseball which she showed
here in the two games that he
worked.
Ruth Hits In Pinch.
Babe Ruth, who has been on the
hospital list for the past week, got
back into the game yesterday as
pinch hitter. He batted for Agnew
in the eighth inning OF the after
noon game. The Babe lifted a fly
to center that Zeb Milan gathered in

fast double plays in the second game,

COACHING TO STOP
DURING HOLIDAYS
HERE NEXT SEASON

There will be no preseason coach
ing and no coaching during the regu-
lar Christmas and Eastern holidays
here in the high schools next season.
At a recent meeting OF the faculty
athletic advisers the coaches agreed
upon a resolution which cuts out the
practices OF many years.
Next fall when the schools open
football will be started. There will be
no week or ten days OF additional
coaching before the school year Of
ficially opens.
Easter and Christmas holidays will
be given over to the athletes who
have generally been held in training.
and have been practiced during these
days.
II is pointed out by the various
advisers that many boys who par
ticipate in more than one sport are
given too little time to rest between
sports. The stopping OF coaching
and practice during the holidays Is
thought to be beneficial for the ath-
letes. --
The idea was originated by DR..
Louis Battersby, OF Eastern High
School. and was agreed upon by the
board OF advisers.

Sam Rice, the outhelder. who took
part in the second game against Bos-

the first game yesterday, left to re-
port at Fort Terry. as his furIough
expires tonight. Rice. according to
the Red SuC, is ineligible to play with
the Griffs, and President Frazee filed
a protest on both occasions. The
Senators were on the losing side in
each game that Rice played, and
should the league declare the games
forfeited to Boston, it will make no
difference in the standing of the
Senators.
Grin. however, was not taking any
chance in the second game yesterday,
and Rice did bench duty.

catcher, who is with the Senators on

OVER
BY LOUIS A. DoUGHER'

Because Miss Fannie Durack, the
worlds champion woman swimmer,
preferred to have her sister accom-
pany her from Australia to the
United States as a chaperon rather
than some official Of the Australian
A. A u, she may find herself bar
red from amateur competition when
she lands at San Francisco. Until
he has had all the facts presented to
him, President Charles E. Dean, of
the American A. A. u, declines to
take any stand in the matter. Full
details are believed to be on their
way to America now.
While it may seem TO some most
natural that Miss -Durack should wish
her sister to be with her on her tour
Of the United States. Mrs. Hugh Nc
Intosh, president OF the New South
Wales LalIes' Amateur Swimming
Association, thought different. She
wanted some official OF the associa-
ton along.
Miss Durack baked absolutely. She
declined to consider the question at
all and, with matters standing at
odds and ends, the Australian A. A.
U. took steps to prevent her appear
ance in this country. Just what will
happen cannot be said until the
American officials receive more in
formation. Meanwhile. Miss dig
