American Consul Says Rus
sian Government Declares
War Against j. S.
DANGER TO AMERICANS

Washington, Aug. 22.-Dispatches
from Russia today were of a somewhat
disturbing nature to state department
officials. Consul Robert w. Imbrie at
Petrograd reported in detail that men,
bers of the Bolshevik government at
the Russian capital had issued pro-
nouncement declaring that state of
war existed between Russia and the
vik declaration Mr.. Imbrie reported in
his dispatch, which was dated August
2, that he had lowered the United
States flag over the consulate and fol
lowing the recent action of Consu, Gen
eral Poole of Moscow, closed the con
sulate and turned the affairs of the
United States over to the Norwegian
consulate. Americans in Petrograd, be-
leved to number about 90, were warned
to leave, Consul 1mbre's dispatch said,
although the consul indicated that he
would remain at his post until he had
received instruction from the state de
partment.
Announcement in dispatch from
France of the appointment of two in
ternational consuls, one at Archangel
and the other at Vladivostok, however,
counterbalanced unfavorable news CON
tained in the dispatch from Petrograd.
An American, as dean of diplomatic
corps, will act as the presiding officer
of the Archangel consul. The person.
mel of the Vladivostok council is not
yet chosen. Consul Caldwell will be
the American member until President
Wilson designates representative.
Persecution Of the few Americans IN
Petrograd prior to Consul Imbrie 8 ca
blegram made state department officials
apprehensive as to their safety. Off
cials regard it as evident that further
messages from Consul Imbrie have been
held up by the Bolsheviki. The refer
ence in Consul 1mbrie's dispatch to a
declaration Of war by the Bolshevik
authorities, however, was regarded most
seriously by officials 1t was suggested
that the speech of Minister of War
Trotsky at Moscow late in July in
which he declared that a state Of wa,
existed between Russia and Great Brit

ArrER sEvEN YEARS

Dear Mrs. Thomas and Sisters:
have thought for some time Of writing
to the dear old page. but. after reading
the nice letters from the sisters who
express themselves so much better than
can, have kept putting off writing.
I wrote a letter about seven years
ago. but am sure none of you remem-
berS me.
7 wonder how many of US are doing
all we can to help win the war. I think
we should all do everything we possibly
can to help, and never let US forget
that God is watching over all the world
and knows when we are doing our best.
oh. how we ought to thank, Him for
past blessings and ask Him for gutd-
ance and strength for every days du-
ties, If there could be time when we
needed to be especially nearer to Him,
it must be now, when all the world

Wheatbread on Sundays

Dear Mrs. Thomas: 1t made me quite
happy to be admitted to your page.
am writing this time to tell you how
we are trying to help in this great
struggle to down the meanest man that
ever lived, and TO show the German
people that America is not the nation
of fearful women, and money loving
men that they think we are. I am
buying Thrift Stamps and L do not eat
any wheatbread except on sundays. So
you see that one little boy is doing his
level best, and if all would do this
way Uncle Sam would soon have money
enough to buy all of the barbed wire
he needs to make old Kaiser Bill a
shirt of the right sort-and the wheat
would feed the little children in Europe
who today are hungry,
The American people are just wax
ing up We must not only do without
wheat and sugar, loan our pennies,
dimes and dollars to Uncle Sam, but we
must give some to the Red Gross and
pray to God to make US the sort of
people that our victory will be for the
benefit of all the world.
God moves in a mysterious way.
His wonders to perform
He plants His foot upon the sea,
He rides upon the storm"
And if we pray, believing in His good
ness, there is no doubt to be found in
our heart. He says, Heaven and earth
shall pass away but My world shall
not"

LEADING VARIETIES OF CORN FOR

Among the best varieties of corn for

Hastings Prolific, and Marlboro. These.
of course, are not the only varieties
but they are strains well adapted for
cultivation on upland soils. They are
what are known as prolific or two

merits fully established for growth on
soils of the type mentioned. For
silage purposes we think Whatley's Pro
life or Virginia Ensilage satisfactory
varieties. we do not use corn in our
silos any longer, however, preferring
to seed alternate rows of Red Head
sorghum and White Kaffir corn. This
combination crop gives a larger yield
and makes a very fine quality of 81

A Mothers Love

on our crops. and my garden looks fine
I'm having bunch beans. English peas,
beets and Irish potatoes to eat now I've
about one hundred little chickens; 1
Matched off over hundred, but the opos-
sums ate some of them. 1 am a chicken
crank, though l never had any expert
ence in embarrassing until 1 married.
Mich is said about the soldiers but
want to say a few words to the girls
and boys about their mothers love-
Alas, how little do we appreciate a
mothers tender care while she is liv-
ing. How needless are we in youth of
all her anXietieS and kindnesses, but
when she is dead and gone and the
cares and GOODNESS of the world comes
whitening our hearts, then we know
how hard it is to find true sympathy and
how few love US. 81
1t is true we always loved our moth
ers, even in our most needless days OF
childhood, when we were led by moth=
ers hand and were without care or
sorrow. Scarcely a day passes that we
don't hear of the loneliness of woman,
the affectRn of sister or devotion of
the wife, and it is the remembrance of
such things that cheers and comforts
the dearest hours of life. Yet mothers
love exceeds them in strength, in dis
interestedness and in purity. The child
of her bosom may have forsaken her,
it may have become an outcaSt from
society; sickness may weary others, mis-
fortune drive away acquaintance, pow
erty leave none to rest upon, yet they
affect not a true mothers love.
If adversely overtakes, her child it
is still dear to her. A mother will sac
rifice every comfort for her child's
convenience, she will surrender every
pleasure for its enjoyment and she will
glory in it's fame and exalt in its pros
perity.
When death has stilled mothers

cries remain to give the principal facts
of her affection Girls and boys, be
sure that you are trying your very
best to be worthy of your mothers love

ly at your heart to tell you of your in

Other members of the new commits
sion are:
Dr. H. Gideon Wells of Chicago.
First Lieut. B. C. Hamilton, United
States Army Medical Corps, Goshen,
N. Y; Col. George C. Treadwell, AL
bany, n. Y, formerly military secre-
tary to Gov. Hughes; Capt. Alexander
Forward and William f. Thompson

Hamilton were also members of the
Rumanian commission.
Miss Helen Scott Hay of Washing
ton, who has done a great deal of

beginning of the war, accompanies
the commission as head nurse. Half
a dozen nurses and social workers
are included in the personnel.

Meanwhile evidence accumulates in

attacks, unlike those of the Germans,
are confined strictly to military OBJ
