RUSSIANS TO MAKE
CENSUS OF GRAIN
(By Associa ted Press.)

MOSCOW, Wednesday, June 12-
The central executive committee to-
night voted to create committees of
poor peasants for the purpose of TAX
ing census of grain and other food
necessities in villages, confiscating
all in excess of that above require
ments and distributing food and agri-
cultural machinery among the peasants
they decide are needy. The commit
tees which are permanent, are to be
formed by the local Soviets, and only
the poor can become members. Their
activities are to be directed exclusive
ly against rich peasants, who are de-
clared to be hiding grain, and against
the bourgeoise opposed to the Soviet
government.
To help these committees enforce
the measure armed detachments of
workmen have been formed in Petro-
grad and Moscow, 5000 in each city,
and more are to be formed and will
be sent to various villa ges. Notwith-
standing the severe criticism of the
measure by the OPPOSITION, particu-
larly the Social Revolutionists, who
pointed out that it will cause civil war
among the peasants and stated that
they would oppose its enforcement
when passed because they regarded
it as injurious, it was adopted, by a
large Bolsheviki majority.

Flag Service Held
on Lalun at Elks

The Elks lodge observed the one
hundred and forty-first anniversary
of the American flag with appropriate
exercises on the lawn in front of the
lodge building Friday night.
The Elks ritual was conducted by
w. w. Keller. and patriotic address
was made by William Dudley Foulke.
Mr.. Keller also read the history OF
the flag.
"Our flag is just what we make it. J"
said Mr.. Foulke. Long before we
declared war felt that it was Amer
ica's duty to get into the fray. l
went to Germany shortly after the
war broke out in 1914 and saw how
thoroughly the Kaiser was prepared.
In one weeks time Germany mobiliz-
ed 100000 men.
1.-THE mistakes Of the past prepare
us for the future, because we will not
be apt to make them again. We hope
there will be no more war but if
there should ever be another conflict
we shall find ourselves prepared for
it. We are the leaders In the strug.
gle and we will have to bear the
brunt of it."
