RUSSIAN REDS THREATEN U.
S. AMBASSADOR.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Ambas-
sador Francis at Petrograd cabled
the State Department today that
a group of Russian anarchists had
notified him he would be held re-
sponsible personally for the safety
OF Alexandeg Berkman and Emma
Goldman, under prison sentence
IN the United States for violating
the draft law.
An anarchist newspaper pub
llshed in Petrograd, advices to the
State Department say, published
an inhammatory article proposing
that Ambassador Francis be held
responsible personally for the
safety and freedom of Berkmaa
who, with Emma Goldman, is
about to begin serving two years
in a federal penitentiary for con-
spring against the draft law.
No indication as to the PROB
able power of the threatening
anarchists to make trouble for
HIM was gIyen by the ambassador.
State Department officials think
he did not take the matter very
seriously and little alarm is felt
here, apparently. q
Unless further advfces make it
necessary no instructions will 5e
given Mr.. Francis.
1t has been shown for some
time anarchists in Petrograd were
interesting themselves in the fate
of Berkman and Miss Goldman.

WILSON'S SHINING, BAKER s
= WRONG.
Arthur Brisbane.


/ Would you like to know the
| chief reason for the Republican
fparty's attack on Woodrow Will
son? It can be given in exactly
ten words:
/ Wilson put the tax load on
| the rich mans back.
The Republican party is one of
the best assets of the rich man.
/; When you tax the rich man you
! attack, the Republican party, and
| it won't forgive you.
There would not have been all
this trouble if Wilson had. man
Eaged the war as it would have
been managed with a Roosevelt
In the White House and an Eliha
Root as Secretary Of War.
/ Roosevelt and Root would have
run the war very differently.
A man making a hundred mil
slion Of extra profit wouldn't now
have forty of those millions taken
away from him and put into the
war.
The little people would be pay
ing all the bills. as they always
pay when Republican rule.
The little business man would
haze had his son shot to pieces l.,
France. and his pocketbook shot
to pieces at home. and the big
men would have been allowed to
do what they hoped to do. They
would have made the hundreds Of
millions, and kept them had Re.
publicans managed this war.
Wilson spoiled that pleasant
little schemeand that is the
trouble with Wilson in the eyes
df those gentlemen in. Wall street.
When q Distinguished Senator
Il ON Pennsylv vania said sthat Mr.
keeps apart and is mac
he told the truth. Mr..
Wilson is inaccessible to the man
who comes from the corner of
Broad and Wall streets to tell the
President Of the United States
what to do and how to do it.
And there is the same trouble
n the War Department. It is
lot Mr.. Root in charge Of the
Var Department and all Of the
'uying from corporations.
Its Newton D. Baker, a simple
american citizen, trained under
'om johnson of Cleveland, who
'eieved that the peoples prop
rty should be used for the peo-
lie and the peoples money spent
or the people.
Distinguished Wall Street gen.
lemen that own the Republican
arty find they can t use Baker in
heir plans. And that irritates
hem.
That explains why Republicans
re trying to organize, if you
lease, a special war board
trough which they could work
long old-fashioned lines of their
carts desire and spend the peo-
les money in their own particn-
lr way.
You notice how bitterly the
patriots attacked Col !
mel House a quiet. efficient. on
,rvant man who keeps his mouth (
nut and carries out the Pres.-
ent's orders.
No possible objection had Mr..
7ilson taken as confidential
gent a Junior partner Of Morgan
Co., or some corporation at

g rascals in the United States. \
ut the President takes a man \
ON Texas, a business man from

SOLE OBJECT IS
 TO KILL '-MARCH
Chief of Staff Says Each Side is Deter mined to Wipe Out the Other

Washington. July 31.-The sole object of the Allies and the Germans in the Soissons- Rheims salient now is to kill as many men as possible General March, chief of staff, said today at his semi-weekly conference with newspaper correspondents. Whatever object either side had at the beginning, the general said, has ben submerged by developments In the fighting.
 General March pointed out that salient had been greatly fattened, thus virtually dissipating any hopes of the Allies bagging large numbers of the enemy. The German with drawal since last Saturday, he added, had reduced the length of the line another ten miles to 54 miles. The maximum German retreat in the cen ter is 4 miles.
 Arrival of the 42nd. (Rainbow) division and it's participation in the fighting east of Fere- -Tardenois was announced. The third regular division also was identified as in action at Sergy and Cierges, where the crack German guard divisions have been defeated in recent fighting by American troops.
 General March announced the formation in the United States of six more divisions, numbered from 15 to 20 and to be located at Camps Logan, Tex, Kearney, Cal, Beaure- gard La, Travis, Tex, Dodge, Ia., and Sevier, S. c. As in the case of the six divisions announced last week, these will be built around two regular infantry regiments in each case.
 General March announced also the conversion of fifteen National army cavalry regiments, numbered from BIO to 315, into field artillery. These will comprise part of the artillery units for the new divisions.
 General March had nothing to re- veal as to the extent of the casualties sustained by the American forces in the recent fighting. He said, how ever, that General Pershing had been ordered to cable the casualties as received and that these would be given out here at once. He added that there would be no distribution of casualties over a long period hereafter.

DROP 800 YARDS BY
 MEANS OF UMBRELLA
Capt. Sarret May Have Solved Prob lem of Airmen by Daring
 Experiment.

With the American Army in France, July 30 (By the Associated Press) - Captain Sarret, a French aviator, has carried out the first experiment on record of falling from a moving air. plane with a parachute. He dropped 800 yards with an umbrella 12 yards in diameter and landed safely.
 He occupied and fell from the ob- servers position, but similar experi- ments for the pilot will be undertaken soon.
 Although Captain Sarret'S trial was made at a height of 800 yards, it is declared there is no obstacle to jump ing a greater distance, since the para chute has an even better chance to open. When successful, the employ ment of parachutes will save the lives of many aviators. Airmen will be able to leave their flaming machines and will not meet death as did Major Raoul Lufbery on May 19.
 Captain Sarret was in the air abou' three minutes after he had cut loose from the airship. He was omplete1y composed upon landing and wrote a. message describing his sensations dur ing his descent.

GERMANS DECEIVED BY AMERICAN RlJSE Walk Into Trap At Seringes Only to Be Wiped
 Out.

With the American Army On the Aisne- -Marne Front, July 31 (noon) (By the Associated Press) )-Efforts made by the Germans to advance their lines against the Americans on this front last night and this forenoon were fruitless. The Americans, for their part, were content to hold their positions along their slightly ad- Vanced line for the time. The Ger man line, however, is reported grad ualiy giving way both to the right and left.
 There was hard fighting throughout the night, but no concentrated attack in force by either side.
 During the night the Americans made pretense of retiring from a part of the town of Seringes. The Germans advanced into the town, on observing the supposed evacuation. Two companies of Americans then closed in and enveloped the German force, killing or capturing every man of it.
 High explosive and gas shells were sprayed by the Germans over 8 wide area.
 The air forces on both sides were busy, this morning. One of the Amer ican observers was attacked by eight enemy machines hut escaped and re- turned to his base.

FIX GEAR, WEAKENED BY TERROR,
 PROPPED AGAINST POST AND SHOT
Nicholas Overcome By Im-
 pending Fate Unable to
 Walk Unassisted to Place
 of Execution.

Amsterdam, July S1.----Given two end, Nicholas Romanoff former Rus sian emperor, was taken out by his eXecutioners in a state of such col lapse that it was necessary to prop him against a post, says the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin, which claims to have received from a high Russian parsonage an account of the emper- or's last hours.
 Nicholas was awakened at , a. III. on the day of his execution by a pa trol of a non-commissioned officer and six men. He was told to dress and then was taken to 8 room where the decision of the Soviet council was communicated to him. He was in formed the execution would be car ried out in two hours.
 The former emperor, 1t is added, received the announcement of the sentence of death with great calm ness, then returned to his bedroom and collapsed in chair. After q few minutes he asked for a priest with whom he was allowed to remain un- attended. Subsequently he wrote sev- eral letters.
 When the escort arrived to take him to the place of execution, Mich olas attempted to rise from his chair but was unable. The priest and a soldier were obliged to assist him to stand. The condemned man de- scended the stairs with difficulty and once he fell down.
 As he was unable to stand without support when the place of execution was reached, he was propped against a post. He raised his hands and seemed to be trying to speak, but the rifles spoke and he fell dead.
