RUSSIA'S NEEDS WILL BE STATED
 BY KERENSKY
Former Dictator Hopes to be Countrymen's spokes-
 man in U. s.

London, June 27-Alexander Ker- ensky, the short-lived dictator of Russia, hopes to be received in America as the spokesman of his countrymen. He wants to plead the cause of the newborn Russian democ- racy to the great republic overseas Today Kerensky has promised to ad- dress the labor conference. Within a few days he will go to France and thence to the United States.
 How Kerensky escaped from Rus sia cannot be told until the time comes. That probably will be when his helpers will not be endangered by the revelations. At present he is evading all uninvited visitors.
 The Express describes Kerensky as man of words, not action. Few men, it says, have made more pie turesque or a more pitiable mark on the history of the war, adding:
 "The Allies made the mistake o1 appealing to Kerensky, when they should have upheld the authority o1 the constituent assembly,"
 The Graphic, on the other hand sees fin Kerensky's appearance ir London a welcome sign of possible fresh developments in Russia. Il urges Allied action in Russia through Siberia, expressing belief that this is a policy that President Wilson has recently come to accept,

East End School Teachers Activity.
 Principal Robert L. zink, of the Lincoln School, is the. commanding general of a flying squadron of sev- enty-five school teachersEno seventy six. for MT. zink si working himself who are making 8 very thorough can vass in the East End. The teachers are recorded from Lincoln, Summer field, Mckinley and Roger Sherman Schools.
 Teachers who have sometimes felt rthat their job in dealing with children is a difficult one. are now having a chance to see whether the elders are more amenable to instruction and to the patriotic appeal. From the pre- liminary reports of this band of teachers, they are being well receiv- ed everywhere and when their totals are compiled they will show fine harvest.
 Supply of Pledges.
 Nothing can better illustrate the complete chaos which was brought about in the printing offices by the shortage of labor than the shortage o1 supplies furnished by the State Di- rector's office for the campaign. The State Director had promised that he would have all abundance of supplies for every town, and he got his orders in early, but the vast quantity re. quired, coupled with the fact that i l {e o+i &o 1I> %oir fo bor in the printing offices of the state brought about a shortage which i very acute. The War Savings Com mittee has been forced to employ tht services of local printers to fill ou these supplies of pledges. At ont printing office it was found that thi had already been done for Trumbu1l l which had been unable to get tn, necessary supply from the state, ana the committee was lucky enough tt find the pledge already in type.
 No criticism is directed at the Stat Committee because it is one of the wa conditions which we are confronted with that has brought about this sit uation. In addition, there is grea wastage which could not possibly b foretold. A great many canvasser used an unnecessary number of pledg es. One woman who is in charge o a large district had a group of can vassers come to her for supplies-ant they were men too-and in reportin the situation she said: '"The w0y the dug into those supplies was somethin awful. wonder what they do wit them. Do they eat them? They van ished like the fall of grain when tn grasshoppers strike in." All canvas sers are especially requested to re turn to the headquarters of their dis tricts the pledges which are not use so that nobody may be prevented fror having them.
 A Strong Arm Artist.
 Harry Weldon, who works at the I M. Read Co.,, and who is a sign paint CT, volunteered his services to writ window signs for the campaign. Tn Committee procured a certain mum Ter of brief slogans arranged in Hun garian and Italian. MT. Weldo
 started out at four o'clock Tuesda afternoon and said he was going t put in the balance of the day in get
 ting up a lot of signs. At half-paS
 nine he made report to the Com
 mittee that he had painted 261 win dows. How he could have accom- plished any such result is difficult t
 understand. His hand and his ey must he as strong as his sense of pa
 triotism. Accompanying MT. Weldo |, was MT. Frank I. Blakeman of tn

year ago, it would be advisable TOT the pledger to seat himself pn a chair in front of the registrars table While his pledge is being taken. The regis trars will deliver the pledges to the representatives of the different district generals who will call for them at. times during the day. These instruc- tions are given here in lieu of any oth- CT.
 Not a Stamp Sale Campaign
 The Committee has many times sent out word that the present campaign is not a stamp selling campaign. It is a campaign to get pledges. The ac- tual buying of stamps will take care Of itself afterward. In some places in the state the canvassers carry stamps with them for sale, but the local com mittee does not care for that plan at present. It abstracts attention from the great object of making up a roll of patriotic citizens who are willing to pledge themselves to do a certain amount of buying in the future in or der to win the war.
 l Nevertheless the sale of the stamps is going on every day at the Bridge port Post Office, and is averaging be- tween $5,000 and $6,000 daily. At this rate the years sales for Bridgeport would amount to about $1,500,000. It is hoped that when the pledges that are executed this week are all fulfilled and everybody has bought the stamps who has agreed to, Bridgeport's total will be well over $3,000,000.
