Return OF RUSSIA
TO WAR INEVITABLE
Before Step is Taken, How
ever, Eolsheviki MusrIs
Deprived of Power
MARTIAL LAW
NOW IN MOSCOW
BY JOSEPH sHAPLEN.
Inlted press Stan Correspondent.


STOCKHOLM, June i2.-The action Of
the Bolsheviki in putting Moscow under
martial law is probably due TO the un-
covering Of a plot which was brewing
when / left Russia which aimed at the
overthrow OF the Bolsheviki by stimuli
taneous uprisings in Moscow and Petro-
grad.
Prince Krojotkin, NJ. Savinkoff and a
number Of Cadet party leaders were in
the plot.
Plans for the formation OF a Russian
army OF workmen and peasants were
outlined to the United Press representa-
tive in recent interview given by Gen.
eral Parsky, formerly commander Of the
Russian forces at Riga but now military
chief Of the Petrograd district.
I'VE are taking all measures possible
for the defense Of the country" he said,
"inasmuch as Germany can break the
Brest peace treaty whenever she wishes
We have not yet fully developed a plan
OF training workmen and peasants but
in some places a tentative plan is in full
operation.
Universal military service is impos-
slble at present. II will be possible
only when order is restored. When the
people are fully reawakened and order
has been re-established. we hope TO or
ganize effective resistance and regain
Russla's sovereignty"
The new Red Army is worthless and
everybody in Petrograd realizes this.
The return OF Ia ssia 10 the war Is in
evitable. Either IS or Russia will be-
come extinct. B1f before anything def
mite can be done the Bolsheviki must
go, according to the opinion OF most
Russian observers.
The separation Of Russia and Ukraine
is purely artificial. Already the Ukrain-
ians are revolving against Germany and

WILTON
P0STMASTER'S NOVEL
R. E. BOOSTING PLAN

M. A. Rognlien, postmaster at
Wilton, in order to permit farmers
in that. vicinity to donate wood for
the Red Cross, has opened the way
by Offering to accept wood and pay
the price into the county Red Cross
fund, giving the farmer credit there
fore.
Among those who have already ex-
pressed their willingness to bring
wood to Wilton is G. G.. Watkins, a
prosperous farmer in that section.
Mr.. Rognlien wishes to make 1t
known through the columns of the
Pioneer that he will take all the
wood farmers will bring in and see
that their names appear on the roll
of honor as having done their bit
toward the Red Cross fund. In this
manner the farmers can help in the
"Wood Day" and at the same time
obviate the long haul to Bemidji.

IN THIS PART OF STATE

Resolutions.

The Bemidji Commercial club is
going to enter heartily into the coal
saving program, and has taken up
the conservation of coal and the use
of wood earnestly, to help ]. F. Nc
Gee, fuel administrator of Minne-
sofa, carry out the government pro-

Minnesota. To this end, the Com
mercial club has passed a resolution
assuring Mr.. MCGEE of the organi-
zation's intent, and the same is ad-
dressed to the people of Bemidji and
Beltrami county.
: > -. - Copy Of Resolution.
~ The resolution follows:
WHEREAS, the Hon. J. F.. Nc
Gee, Federal State Fuel Administra-
tor for Minnesota, advises us of the
fact that there will be an actual
shortage of 5O,OOO,0O0 tons Of coal
for 1918, and
WHEREAS, our ships are being
delayed in the transportation of men,
food and ammunition to the war
zone because of lack of coal, and
also, there is a heavy demand for
cars on all railroads, and
WHEREAS, it is county, state
and national economy to use wood
for fuel in Minnesota, and the use
of the same will permit the diver
sion of thousands of tons of coal to
where urgently needed, and will re-
lease cars from long coal haul to
a short wood haul, thereby greatly
relieving the car situation, and
WHEREAS, aside from the propo-
sition of assisting the government
as war duty, the use of wood for
fuel means much to Northern Min
nesota in the way of prosperity to
settlers, business men and profession
al men. The direct result Of the use
of wood for fuel will be the increase
of food products. It also means the
keeping at home of large sums OF
money, which heretofore has gone
to the coal baron.
THEREFORE,, this Commercial
club desires to go on record as heart
lily approving the Wood for Fuel
movement, and pledge ourselves, COL
lectively and individually, to do all
we can to further said movement,
and we hereby instruct our secre-
tary to send a copy Of this resolu-
tion to Hon. J. F. McGee, Federal
Fuel Administrator for Minnesota,
$40 New York Life Building, Min
neapolis, Minnesota, and to furnish
a copy to the Beltrami county news
pepers.
