eral days. He has kept in retirement.
however, and few Russians have been
aware Of his arrival. His health is bad
and those who have seen him say he has
gone through remarkable adventures In
escaping from Russia and in his Journey
to England.
The presence of M. Kerensky in Lon

for any alien to enter the country with
out the government knowing OF 1t.

loud cheers.

RECESS FOR CONGRESS
JULY | IN PROSPECT
Rest of a Month or a Month and
Ten Days Is Promise
Given.

Congress expects to get away for a
recess of one month, or a month and
ten days, starting July l, or a day OF
two thereafter.
Prospect of taking a recess at such
an early date was announced to the
House today by Majority Leader
Kitchin. He said:
IF the President has no urgent
legislation to pass at this time, and
with his approval, it will be possible
for US to take a recess for month
or a month and ten days. With this
idea in mind. Senators Martin and
Simmons and myself conferred with
the President yesterday. We believe
that recess for a month a t this time
will facilitate the passage of the
revenue bill. The president gave his
approval.
1.-The House should be advised
therefore, that we can send a resolu-
ton to the Senate for a recess ad-
tournment as soon as we clean up on
the appropriation measures"
Chairman Flood of the foreign af-
fairs committee said there are two
which should receive immediate at
tention. He was assured by Mr..
Kitchin that they could be disposed of
in a few minutes and before the re-
cess.
Representative Steenerson of Mime
sofa, asked regarding bills on the
unanimous consent calendar. Rep
resentative Kitchin said that if the
House cleans up on the appropriation
bills before July l, and. if there is
any time. unanimous consent bills
will be considered.
Mr.. Kitchin said that the water
power bill could be considered imme-
diately following the revenue bill, aft
er the reassembling of Congress about
August 10.

.F|VED. c. GR0CERS
TOPAY PENALTIES
Fifty Dollars Each to Red
Cross or Close Stores
for Two Days.
THEIR PRICES TOO HIGH

Five Washington retail grocers. aft
er hearing before District Food Ad-
ministrator Wilson. have been given
the alternative of contributing $50 to
the Red Cross or closing their stores
for two days, with an explanatory
placard prominently displayed about
their store entrances. In each case the
grocer was accused of charging more
for wheat flour than the price allowed
by the administra ton. Two of them
were charged with failure to sell
other food articles at the prices
quoted in the weekly fair price list.
Two Hand in Checks.
Wilhelm Schmidt, whose store is at
18th and streets. and J. William
Weber of 4o2 H street northeast lost
donation as their punishment. and
their checks for $50 each are now in
Mr.. Wilson's hands
Samuel Brown of 18th street and
Park road. George F. Zeh of 3165
Mount Pleasant street Ind the Rich
ards Market Company of 560s Connec-
ticut avenue, Chevy Chase. have been
given until tomorrow night to make
their decision.
In imposing these penalties Admin
fstrator Wilson announced today that
1t is in line with the policy decided
upon by him several weeks ago to
institute more rigid enforcement of
the regulations in Washington and
to deal more severely with offenders
in the future. He explained that in
Offering these alternatives to the
grocerymen he deemed that the evil
dence in each case was sufficient to
warrant the punishment.
Would Cut Off Supplies.
In the event the grocers decided
to refuse to make the contribution to
the Red Cross or close their stores.
Mr.. Wilson said he would have i'm
mediately cut off their supplies.
This is permissible by the food act.
Although retail grocers. doing an an
nual business of less than 100000 a
year are not licensed, the act gives
the administration authority, to call
upon the wholesalers, who are
licensed. to cut off the supply of any
offending retailer.
1t was intimated at the local ad-
ministration today that a number of
other grocers are likely to meet with
of food rule violations made against
them. Several other grocers. who
have indicated defiant attitude
in connection with the enforcement
of the food regulations also are on
the waiting list for hearings.
Mr.. Wilson to Explain Policy.
To explain the motives of the food
administration, that no mistakes may
follow from possible misunderstand-
ing or ignorance of the regulations
governing the sale of foodstuffs. a
mass meeting of local grocers and
grocery employees will be held tomor-
row night in the auditorium of the
Business High School. 9Th street and
Rhode Island avenue.
Administrator Wilson will be the
principal speaker. George E. Lichty
and c. r. Winslow. of the L. S food
administration, also will address the
meeting.

Alexander Feodor Kerensky, the
man about wnom centered the hopes
Of a stable government for Russia for
months after the fall of the Romanoff
dynasty, has had stormy career
since the dramatic incidents Of March,
1917. Kerensky was one of the staff
of temporary government set up after
Emperor Nicholas was arrested on
March Is, 1917. When the new ma
tional cabinet was formed he became
minister of justice and later minister
of war and marine.
He urged a vigorous prosecution of
the war, instituted iron discipline in
the army, and led the offensive in
Galicia in July, 1917. which carried
dismay to the Teutonic capitals. The
army. however, was honeycombed with
disaffection and the advance stopped
just when a great victory was in
sight.

Kerensky fed in disguise. Later he
organized a small force of soldiers
and fought an engagement with the
maximalists at Gatchina. His forces
were beaten and those who were loyal
to him at Petrograd were either exc

protest, the Senate late last evening
adopted the conference report on the
legislative bill, in which the Senate
receded from its opposition to the
Borland amendment establishing the
eight-hour day.
Senator Martin. chairman of the ap-
propriations committee. called up the
approval. Senator Sheppard wanted
to know what had been done with the
Borland amendment, and Senator
Martin replied that in order to get
an agreement the Senate conferees
had been compelled to yield on this
amendment.
Senator Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire said: at is matter of regret
10 me that the Senate conferees felt
obliged, as I understand they did. to

German artillery continued to shell
both our front lines and rear areas,
distributing it's fire rather impartially
over the sector.
The Clerembauth and Marette
woods. Lucy LIE Booage, Triangle
farm. Lethiolet and Boureches all
received their share. So did the Paris
road on our other principal lines of
communication. but the number of
shells used was moderate for this To-
cality, and most of them were of
small or medium caliber.
The fire was of various Sorts some
OF the harassing sort directed
against our billets in rear areas at
intervals during the day and night
and some for the obvious purpose q
cutting our communications. As
usual, some Of the lower and wooded
areas were shelled with gas, but high

During the fighting nearly 400

On the remainder of the front
the fighting was confined to ar

Snipers and Guns Active.

The German machine guns were ac-
tive against our lines. especially in
the vicinity of Bouresches. Snipers
were active near the edges of the
Bois de Belleau and around the
! Bouresches railroad station.
The enemy made one of his custo-
mary attempts to ambush an Ameri-
can patrol in the vicinity of Tafour-
nay farm. but his ambush party was
caught and dispersed by our fire. Ger
man airplanes were active along our
front. paying particular attention to
the right half.
In the rear Of the German line small
groups were seen in constant motion
passing along the roads between the
various farm towns and woods. A
considerable number of them appear-
ed to be carrying stretchers Wagons
automobiles and artillery caissons
were also in constant movement, but

Attacks Made in House.

Attacks on the Borland amendment
were made in the House as soon as
Representative Byrns of Tennessee,
chairman of the legislative subcom-
mittee of the appropriations COM
mittee, called up the conference re-
port.
Representative Keating of Colorado
said:
II recognize that members are anx-
ious to close their labor There Is
one provision. however, which should
be rejected-the Borland amendment.
II regret that the House conferees
did not yield to the Senate. The
amendment does not provide for an
eight-hour day as required Of other
government employees, who are paid
time and a half for overtime.
This amendment will not cause a
saving-not one penny would be
saved. No man in this House will
live to see one penny taken or an
appropria ton bill by this amendment.
This amendment will actually In
crease the expense of the government,
because in the end Congress must in
crease the pay of clerks"
Evening star., 1918-06-26
Workers Are Defended.

Representative Austin of Tennessee,
republican. also came to the defense
of the government workers. He said:
"Why should we discriminate
refusing them the pay for extra serv-
ices? Employees in navy yards. ship
yards, arsenals, etc, are given extra
pay for overtime"
Representative Austin caused to be
read a resolution adopted by the Ma
Federation Of Labor on June IS
opposing the Borland amendment.
Mr.. Borland Objects to Discussion.
Representative Borland of Missouri.
father of the amendment. tried to OBJ
tect to discussion of the conference
report, saying the subject had been
thoroughly discussed by the House be-
fore the bill went to the Senate.
Representative Byrns said the con-
ferees did not have the question of
overtime before them The House. he
said, had gone on record and the con-
ferees had tried to carry out this re-
corded will of the House. He thought
the patriotism of the clerks would
cause them to give the extra hour of
service.
Representative Good of Iowa, said
there was undue haste in adopting the
conference report, which, he declared,
contained provisions not understood
by the members. He said that en-
ployes Of the Senate are given higher
pay than employees of the House. He
protested against continuing the sub
treasures, which the House voted to
abolish.
AS to the Borland amendment, Rep
resentative Good said the House had
increased the pay of the department
clerks on seven-hour basis and then
added an extra hours work, SO that the
clerks will get an eight-hour work day,
but not an eight-hour pay. He said the
clerks are patriotic, but that Congress
ought to be patriotic. too and while the
income Of farmers, railway men, miners.
shipyard and arsenal workers is being
increased the clerks should be in
creased also.

Considerable opposition to the en-
forcement of an eight-hour day was
made on the floor of the House from
both the democratic and republican
sides, the speakers pointing out that
an injustice would be done to the
clerks in the various departments
The fact was emphasized that in in
dustrial establishments the govern
ment is giving extra pay for over
time. and that unless the clerks are
