Exposed to Foes Tampering.

Nearly all of the Russian news
printed in America during the last
two weeks has been exposed to Ger
man tampering. The stories may be
entirely authentic. The Germans may
have passed on to the United States
the unadulterated truth. Anything is
possible in Russia. Sensational de-
velopments can occur overnight.
Therefore sensational news, no mat
ter how improba BILE it sounds. cannot
be unhesitatingly branded as false or
colored until refutation of it is re-
ceived direct from Russia, and that
may take as long as ten days. owing
to the practical stoppage of cable

LONDON. July 3-Viscount Rhondda
David Alfred Thomas), the British
food controller, died this morning.
Since the recent operations for dis
persion of the fluid consequent to a
severe attack of pleurisy. Lord Rhond-
da had weakened gradually. There
were few rallies and the bulletins
from his bedside in the last few days
had held out little hope for his re-
covery. Yesterdays announcement
recorded that the patient had lost
strength and that his heart showed
signs Of failing to respond to treat
ment.
Viscount Rhondda was the man who
put England and most of the United
Kingdom Of Great Britain on ra-
tions and won the gratitude even of
the people whose food supply he reg
ulated. Before he achieved the task
it was generally regarded as all but
impossible.
Food was running short In the
United Kingdom In June. 1917,
when Baron Rhondda was appointed
food controller of Great Britain. The
German C-boats were sending ships
to the bottom of the ocean and Great
Britain was supporting Il tremendous
army in France. The civilians at
home were beginning to feel the
pinch. Long queues Of men, women
and children stood for hours at the
food stores in scores of British cities
and there was a loud grumble from
the public.
Accept Task With Misgivings.
The man who as David A. Thomas
had been managing director of the
great Cambrian coal combine appar-
emily undertook his task with many
misgivings. Il have a suspicion" he
told his Welsh friends. that Lloyd
George conscripted me for this al
most impossible Job because he knew

guardian and trustee Of the consumer,
He declared that he was determined
to stop profiteering and speculation
in food.
'If 1t is necessary to put the whole
country on compulsory rations I will
do it-yithout compunction," he gave
warning. Then followed a series of
orders and regulations that a year or
two before would have reused the
Briton to wrath. The new food con-
crops for 1917 and within a few
months announced the formation of
an interallied food council to purchase
in the United States food supplies
for Great Britain. France and Italy

most general conjecture as to the rea-
son for his prolonged pause is that
he Is awaiting the arrival Of guns of
a new type, intermediate between
the extreme long-range guns with
which he has been shelling Paris and
his long-range naval guns
With guns of this type. the as
sumption is the Germans would be
capable of throwing a large number
Of heavy shells into Paris from a dis
tance. of forty or ffty miles. A bonn
hardment from this distance instead
aof the seventy or more miles covered
by the long-range guns has been
made possible oy the advance of the

THE committee on cotton distribu-

American cotton for the current sea-
son under peace conditions would be
Q, 900, 900 bales in excess Of the exports
of the past season. This would bring
the exports for the current season to a
total of about 6.500,000 bales, which
does not seem unreasonable 10 expect
when il Is considered that this figure Is
still much under normal and is even
1000. 900 bales less than was exported

Another factor not popularity known

Heretofore the understanding has

Several Of the divisions which have
seen much hard fighting are assigned
to the American army Of occupation
which Is marching into Germany
Army officers said that 1t was neces-
sary to make up this army OF tried
troops because there was no saying
what eventually might come to pass
Recent dispatches from France have
said that an American army Of 1.26O,.
