Problem Becomes Acute.
WASHINGTON, June z5.-With
Germany speeding her efforts to SUBJ
jugate Russia that she may have new
reservoirs from which to draw war
the allied problem of saving
Russia has become acute.
Several proposals for allied aid were
ready for presentation to . President
and the cabinet when it g.
today. There are indications that an
of the first step in the
Forthcoming program may be fastened.
The British embassy and French Am
bassador Jusserand have left ex-
tended memoranda on the subject at
the white house within the last forty
eight hours The preponderating evil
dence being presented now shows in
creasing urge from all classes in Rus
STA for aid.
The Germans advancing through
Ukraine, along the Thurman coast and
now landing at Batum to strike with
the Turks through the Caucasus, ap-
parently are desperately trying to get
a firm grasp upon Russia before the al
lies awake to the danger.
AS a result there is sudden vigorous
activity in allied quarters here trying
TO reach a common agreement for aid.
One plan, strongly advocated, is to
send an inter-allied board to Russia
with full powers to grant loans, APP
point sub-commissions to direct trans
portation and help Russians move
heir crops, and this would be the foun-
lation for actual military aid when
the time arrived.

Doctor Dorsey and DR.. Hall said
that mark of discoloration on Read 8

of a railroad cars wheel might have
caused the mark which extended from

around Reads neck more than any
thing else?" DR.. Hall was asked by

No. said Hall 1.-The body was ap-

angle of one jaw to that Of the other
except for a place Of ABOUT two inches
in the front Of the neck. Neither the
