ALL TRYING TO HELP RUSSIA
correspondent Points to the Fact That
the Revolution Frequently Makes
Strange Bedfello~s.

Under the title, "Ivan in Wonder
land" William G. Shepherd, war cor
respondent, recently gave IN Every
body's Magazine a comprehensive idea
of the strange happenings he has been
witnessing daily in topsy-turvy Russia.
"Where can take you next?" asked
the Red Cross doctor who was taking
Mr.. Shepherd about Petrograd.
"'To the czar's Winter palace to-
see Mrs. Pankhurst.'
.aThe car started; the doctor, after a
moment, broke into hearty laugh.
"'Sounds like burlesque come
dams joke he said. Going to the
Winter palace in old st. Petersburg to-
see Mrs. Pankhurst.'
"'That isn't ALL said She was
due there this forenoon to meet ElihuI
Root
'The doctor held his head as II it
nched. Mrs. Pankhurst and Elihu
Root talking together in the Winter
palacer
"'Yes, and Charles Edward Russell,
the socialist, will be with thern.'
"I give up said the doctor help /
lessly I try to keep sane here in
Russia. but it's worse than Alice in
Wonderland"
"Within n few moments we were in
the Winter palace, gorgeous with royal
fittings, its rooms so high that ten Of
them would equal 4O-story New York
sky-scraper, and there, like pygmies.
under the sky-high ceilings, were Mrs.
Pankhurst and Mr.. Russell; in re-
mote corner Of the room was Elihu
Root comforting with Russian baron.
"The three of them, with many other
persons from various parts of the
earth, had come to Russia to try to
help her through her period OF aston
ishment and get her back to the fight
ing line; and yet they, themselves.
formed one of these incongruous pic
lures that can be seen only in the Rus
sian wonderland of today"

Negroes, you know the necessity Of
teamwork in time of war. Never has,
in the history of the United States,
organization been so absolutely i'm
perative and recent events in the in
dustrial, mining and commercial
world have shown the driving power
of effectiv. organization, 1ntelligently
directed than at the present time.
Many and numerous have the calls
been made for the Negroes by our
government. Many more will be
made before this war is over. Get
yourselves ready for the effective
ness Of an organization depends abso-
lutely upon the cooperation it re-
ceives from the individual. When all
Negroes combine and work hand-in-

Home Poultry Plant Pays.

1t is well-known fact that thu
small backyard poultry plant is more
profitable than the plant where birds
are raised in a commercial way and
handled In large numbers. All agree,
that the reason for this fact lies chief
ly in the difference In the food supply.
The small backyard outfit is fed with
the scraps from the family tide. The
hens flourish on this diet, My eggs
plentifully, and yield handsome re-
turn to their owners at practically 10

Order for "Drive" as to
cornmeaI, Etc.

Chicago, May 13.-Food Administra-
tor Hoover has ordered "drive"
against the high prices asked for corn
meal, barley -four, oatmeal and other
substitutes for wheat flour. He de-
clares fatty that the prices maintained
by dealers in these commodities are
nothing less than extortion and that
there is absolutely no justification for
substitutes being higher in price than
wheat -four. A telegram ordering the
ssdrive" was received by State Food
Administrator Harry A. Wheeler in
which Mr.. Hoover states that corn
meal, barley flour and other substi-
tutes for wheat should be selling at
from 10 to Is per cent below wheat
flour.
Washington, May 13.-Food Admin
istrator Hoover announced on Friday
cornmeal and oatmeal should sell 20
per cent below wheat -four or corn
-four and barley flour 10 per cent be-
low.

ON GUARD

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired. nstless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, rudy skin, and
feel the exllilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. It is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. It is
made from Golden Seal root Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
cerine and made into tablets and liquid.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
In order to insure pure blood and Co
build up the system try this tonic
known as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Get it now!

5000, 900 IN U. S. ARMY
More Than 100000 Men Have Been
Called in the Draft or Are
Now In France.

Washington, May 14.-More than
i, 100000 men have been called in the
draft SO far and either are in France,
in camp or under call to go into serv-
ice before June 1. The total of 1,30O,-
600 includes all men summoned in the
May contingent. There is every indi-
cation that even a larger increment
will be summoned in June than was
summoned In May, and a progressive
monthly mobilization continue through
the summer and fall months as the
environments are expanded. It is ex-
pected that at such rate the army
will reach a full strength of well over
100000 within the next twelve or
thirteen months. 1t is possible, some
officers say, that the number will be
closer to 100000 than 100000.

COMMONS VOTES CONFIDENCE
AFTER PREMIER REFuTES
CHARGES.
Sustained by Vote of 293 to 1906
Declares Army Figures Are
True.

London. May 11.-Ex-Premier AS
quith's motion for the appointment OF
a select committee to investigate the
charges made by General Maurice
against Premier Lloyd George was re-
jected In the house of commons on
Thursday by vote Of 293 to JOG. Sir
Edward Carson, leader of the irish
unionists, appealed to Mr.. Asquith not
to proceed with his motion. Sir Ed
ward said that if the veracity OF the
ministers was not believed in the house
there was not longer any possibility OF
carrying on the government.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that II the
motion was carried Mr.. Asquith would
again be responsible for the conduct
of the war.
Premier Lloyd George was cheered
loudly when he arose to speak. he SAID
he had been treated unfairly. 1t was
the business Of General Maurice to
come to the cabinet and point out
where the ministers had made mis-
takes, he declared.
Denying that the strength OF the
British fighting forces had been mis-
represented as stated by General Maui
rice, Mr.. Lloyd George asserted the ng-
ures which he had given were taken
from official records at the war once.
Since that time he had made inquiries
on this point, he added, and the figures
were not inaccurate.
In regard to the comparison between
the enemy and the allied forces, the
premier added, he was charged with
misleading the public, but all the fg-
ures on which his statement was based
came from General Maurice's depart
ment.

PROBE FARM TOOL PRICES
Resolution Authorizes Board to ln-
Vestigate Production and Supply
of Implements.

Washington, May ADMINISTRATION
by the federal trade commission Of the
production and supply of agricultural
implements and of the prices farmers
are compelled to pay for machinery is
authorized in a resolution introduced
by Senator Thompson of Kansas and
adopted by the senate. The resolution
provides for an inquiry as to the ex-
istence of "any unfair methods OF
trade or competition" and "any act,
combination, agreement or conspiracy
to control prices of farm inn
elements, and for an investigation as
to whether farmers "are required to pay
an unreasonable price for the things
they are required to purchase and use
on the farms in the production of food
products and whether they are pre-
vented thereby from making a fair
profit for their labor and money ex-
pended toward production"

YANKEES FIRE HUN DUMP"
Flames Also Started in Montddier by
American ArtiIlery-No Infantry
Fighting.

With the American Army in France,
May 14.-A big enemy ammunition
dump at Cantigny was fired by the
American artillery. At the same time
two fires were started in Montdidier,
followed by numerous explosions.
The weather continues misty and
rainy. There was no infantry action
during the day and only intermittent
machine gun and rife fire.
The position of the Germans is be-
coming more and more intolerable,
while the Americans are intrenching
their positions more firmly. Any hopes
the enemy might have had of breaking
through in this sector are diminishing.
American troops take nothing for
granted, but return the enemy fire two
to one, which is believed to set new
pace in this sector. What appears to
trouble the Germans most is that the
Americans never turn back when the
enemy uses gas. They give him dou-
BILE dose of the same, with everything
else the enemy uses.

Washington, May 13.-Documents
made available from the official files

Borglum, the sculptor, whose charges
against the aircraft program have lea
to the impending inquiry as having
been connected with negotiations TOT

mission in the United States, ana heh-
yon Mix of the Dodge Manufacturing

coming suspicious of Borglum's actlVa-
ties and reported the affair to HoWaru

duction board
The documents which have been sup-
piled fl ON the official files of the wax
department and are now in the hands
of senators most intimately cOnnecteu
with the aircraft investigation, declare
that Borglum continued his negotla-
tons after President Wilson authorized
him to make an inquiry into the ar
craft situation.
A summary of the negotiations
signed by Henry Harrison Suplee, VINO

that Borglum gave him to understand
that the personnel of the aircraft board
was highly distasteful- to him" ana
that he proposed to change it by vlr-
tue of his friendship with President
Wilson" and asked Suplee to suggest
men for the places.
