Sabotage Favorjte
and Most Effective
Weapon of Russian

tThe following Is one Of the news

Moscow, July 26.-Sabotage is the
favorite weapon OF the Russian. He
uses it more effectively than the rifle
and understands 1t better.
1t was sabotage which overthrow
Emperor Nicholas. The Kerensky pro-
visonal government succumbed to sa-
botage. In neither case was there an
extensive military character to the
movement which gave Russia new
government.
And now the weapon which the boil
sheviki and their supporters OF the ex-
IRENE left used on previous govern
ments has been turned against them.
In the food situation, on the railways,
in the various government bureaus. In
public service organizations OF all
sorts. among bankers, business and
professional men and even among the
peasants the government encounters
hindrance and obstruction Of type
which cannot be punished and stamped
out. .....

charge of the national food supply, re-

reality doing all they could to hinder
the food administration.
Trotsky. Lenine and other bolshevik
speakers and agitators have made the
most Of the sabotage directed against
them by loudly proclaiming in all sec
ftions OF Russia that the disorder they
inherited from the Kerensky regime
and opposition directed against them
by enemies within the government. rs

kstand forth so plainly that the dullest
workman reads the handwriting on the

couthward along the stream thru
Namur and MeZieres, With the line
from there 20 the Swiss border DEEPEN
dent upon the success Of the campaign
OF General Parshing ami his American
forces, now slowly batting their way
northward toward Belgium and north
eastward toward Luxembourg.
The American lines have been
pushed so far forward that Metz and
Briey now are open TO attack both
from the south and west. 1t Is eN-
pected that American operations on a
larger scale are among Foch's plans
for the near future, and should PEI
shing succeed in reaching the Belgium
and German border northwest of Metz
the Meuse line will be transformed
into large but dangerous salient
with Namur and Mezieres as its most
westerly points. Much hard fighting
and several weeks of favorable
weather would be required to force
the Germans into this position, as they
do not propose to eva1uate Belgium
and France east of the Mouse because
that would remove the last excuse for
an armistice al all favorable to Ger
many and compel the Huns to accept
a peace at any price. East of the
Meuse nothing stands in the way OF
an invasion of I German territory
a catastrophe which would terminate
abruptly the rule of the kaiser and
plea for real reace from the German
people themselves. The subjects Of the
kaiser, if not the German army. will
cry quits the moment German cities
come within range of the heavy guns
of the allies. and when the German
people quit the kaiser quits too.
A correspondent with the American
forces says it would be difficult to
exaggerate the violence Of the opposi-
ton which the First American army Is
meeting between the Mouse and
Argonne. 1t is evident that LIdendorff
in charge of the German armies in the
field, has ordered this part Of the line
to be held at all costs. Reinforce
ments are being thrown against the
Americans constantly yet American
officers are convinced that new oper-

our people in that section. Otherwise it
will be necessary to release the price re-

With a view to securing this CO. oper-
alton from the farmers all over the

fed to such animals, and further agree

The food administration is also re-
curing the millers, and feed jobbers to
distribute their wheat mill feeds in
such manner that each state receives
the same proportion of the mills or
jobber's shipments as it received In the
same quarter in 1917.

Conserve Feedstuffs
Is Plea of Food
Bosses to Farmers

Washington, Oct e6.-Owing to the
extension Of the drought area the
shortening of the corn crop. the larger
animal population in the country and
the allied demands upon us for feeding
stuffs for their own animals, because OF
their own shortage in production of feed
grains. it is necessary that we should
exert every effort in the proper con-
servation of feeding stuffs during the
next twelve months; vet we must main
tain our own animal production says
a bulletin sent out from the food ad-
ministration office. 1t is necessary
that we should ship larger proportion
of wheat as compared with -four during
the next twelve months than during the
last twelve months to the allied coun-
tries, because their own shortage OF
feeding stuffs - such that II they are
to keep alive their dairy herds they
must have a larger supply Of grain
wheat. t-..r.,-, -, -r
Already the milk supply in the allied
countries has been limited practically
to the supply of children and other vi
tally necessary national uses. and any
failure on our part to supply them with
necessary feed stuffs for their dairy
herd means that we shall cut into the
actual safety OF the children of the
allies. On the other hand, both our
own population and the allies are de-
pendent upon our production of animal
products, and we do not: in any way
wish to stifie this production. What we
must secure is the utmost elimination
Of waste by the careful feeding OF AMI
mails and the use of all the roughage
available.
Low Prices Artificial.
One of the difficult problems is the
distribution Of wheat mill feeds, and
this is made more difficult by the fact
that the food administration. in an en-
deavor to protect the farmer. is main
tanning an artifcially low price on
these feeds. One consequence is that
a great deal Of mill feeds are now go
beef production.
Every farmer will recognize that the
wheat mill feeds are vitality necessary
for the dairy cattle, to some extent for
the poultry and fer young pigs. Owing
to the absorption o. mill feeds at local
points near the MIL. Considerable Sec
lions Of the dairy industry are virtually
without mill feeds. and our. dairy pro-
duction is thereby IN danger. With q
view oficorrectinG this. % far as pos
sible. the food administration desires to
appeal for the assistance of the farmers
Of the country in the use and distribu-
ton OF wheat-mill feeds. In this view
we are asking every buyer Of wheat
mill feeds, outside Of the acute drought
area, to sign a pledgesof honor not to
use the wheat mill feeds for any pur-
pose except the essential use in dairy.

not to purchase or hold at any one time
