BRITISH BUSINESS MAN WHO ESCAPED FROM PETRoGRAD THIS MONTH BRINGS GRAPHIC STORY OF HORROR OF PRES ENT CONDITIONS
CBy Review Leased wire)

LONDON. Nov 23.-Dogs and men are battling in Petrograd for the flesh of horses which drop dead in the streets, according to a British business man who just arrived in London. He escaped from Petrograd in November.
 The bolshevik government, he said, has announced since the recapture of Kazan, Simbirsk and Samara that they would have grain enough to feed the soldiers, sailors and their own partisans throughout the winter. They will not issue food to any other per sons. As a result, money has lost it's food buying power and the non bolshevik Russians are in a desperate condition.
 All the wholesale and retail estab- lishments have been nationalized and by putting bolshevik committees in charge of all residences, NJ. Zinoyisff, the food administrator. has effected a complete secret service system of food The transport of food into Petrograd is under close supervision, cutting off the last source available to non-bolsheviki.
 The friction between Zinovieff and the Moscow authorities continues. Zinovieff insisting that the northern commune should be independent.
 The bolsheviki are executing many prisoners and are making no attempt to conceal that such action has been forced upon them in order to conserve food.
 The British narrator says the bol- shevik strength in Petrograd. as well as in Moscow, has increased since the attempts on Lenine's life and the advances in the Volga region. largely because many Russian liberals believe that they must choose between the bolshevik and the extreme reaction aries, as none of the faction leaders in the center show strength.
 Maxim Gorky has joined the bol- shevik and has accepted a position in the department of education. Many others who were at first opposed toI the bolshevik are taking similar ac- tion. The Petrograd commune re- oently required househOlders to give over their blankets, presumably for the army. under a heavy penalty. and great scandal has developed through the discovery by sailors of a trainload of blankets destined for Germany.
 In spite of the widespread desola- tion. the commune is supporting the national opera, the ballet and the theaters. giving free performances to soldiers and sailors and school ehil- dren.

Total
Many Slight Wounds

While the total losses suffered by the American army in France at first glance appeared to be almost double the total estimated by officers here as probable, analysis of the table it was pointed out, shows that among the 179,0O0 wounded are included the names of thousands of men whose in juries were so trivial that they never were admitted to hospitals and the record of their injury was kept only in company and regimental dressing stations. The final total of killed. died of wounds or disease or on the unclassified death list, the seriously wounded and the prisoners and miss ing, officers believe will work out not in excess of 125.000.
 The official figures show also near 1y double the number of deaths from disease than have been made public to date No explanation has been for warded by General Pershing, but it is assumed that the unexpected increase is due to the wide distribution of American and allied hospitals to which the men were sent, making it slow process to assemble the data.
 Few Yank Prisoners
 The number of Americans taken prisoner by the Germans-little more than 2000, is strikingly low in view of General March's announcement that a total 'in round numbers" of 44.000 Germans had been captured by the Americans. The fact that the American armies have been moving forward continuously since it entered the battle doubtless accounts for the great difference. The 1160 men report ed as missing probably include others who will be found to have been cap tured, some whose bodies never will be recovered, and others who may have become lost in the ranks of the French or British forces. The classi- fication also covers the unidentified dead always to be expected when great bodies of troops are engaged.

TAFT OFFERED
 POST OF SOLE
 COMMISSIONER
Former President May Be Sole Arbiter of Baseball World; Western Owners Say Know Nothing
CBy Review Leased vire)

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Former President William Howard Taft has been offered the position of sole mem Der of the national baseball commis. sion, according to announcement here tonight by H. \. Hampstead, presi- dent of the New York Nationals and Harry Frazee, president of the Boston Americans Mir Taft is said to be con- sidering the offer.
 Acceptance by MT. Taft would mean the passing of the present national commission, which is composed of two league presidents and a third mem- Der and, it is said, would shear Ban B. Johnson, president of the American league, of the powers which have earned for him the title of baseball dictator" The offices of the new "one man commission" would be in New York. The offer to Mir. Taft is said to have been made without the know ledge of western presidents ot the two leagues. All of the eastern club presidents are said to have approved the offer and this would give the or iginators of the idea sufficient votes to carry the proposal.
 The national commission at present has cnly two members, former Gov John K. Tener of Pennsylvania, hay ing relinquished his seat on the com mission when he recently resigned the presidency of the National league Mir. Johnson and August Hermann, president of the Cincinnati Nationals are the present members.
 The conference between Messrs Taft, Hempstead and Frazee, was held in this city and MT Taft took the offer under consideration without comment. His reply is not expected for several days.
 The proposition was considered in a general way, with the details to be worked out if Mir. Taft accepts, as the two club proprietors appear to be hopeful he will. No salary was mentioned.
 Neither Frazee nor Hampstead would state what other American or National league club owners had been canvassed in the matter, but intima- ted that the proposition had met with hearty support among a majority of the eastern magnates who had been approached.
 After today's conference they made public a statement in which they said the man to fill this position at the head of Americas national game should be a big American figure who had the esteem and respect of the American public" asserting that baseball at the present time bids fair to be as popular in England, France. Italy and Belgium as the civil war made it in America"
 Mir Taft, having always been a great lover of baseball. would be the ideal American at the head of Americas national game, said the statement, and adds:
 "Our further idea, after discussing the matter with the different club owners, was that with one man as the supreme head of baseball. it would place the presidents of the National and American leagues in the position of appearing before him in the ca pacity of counsel, representing their respective organizations"

After Lincoln's election to the presi
dency an old woman, whom he called
"Aunt Sally" came from New Salem
to sag good-by to "Abe" before he
went to Washington to be president"
The president-elect was standing in
the room placed at his disposal In the
old state capitol talking with two
men of national renown when the old
woman entered, shy and embarrassed.
He saw her at once and walked across
the room to meet his old friend. TAX
ing both her hands in his. he led her
to the seat of honor and presented his
distinguished visitors to her, putting
her quite at ease by saying:
Gentlemen, this is good old friend
Of mine. She can make the best flap
jacks you ever tasted, for she has
baked them for noe many a time"

by DR.. Marion Mills Miller, who finds
that 1.-THE speech is as perfect a poem
as ever was written. and even in the
minor qualities Of artistic language
rhythm and cadence. phonetic euphony,
rhetorical symbolism, and that subtle
Renaissance of a great literary and
spiritual inheritance. the Bible, which
stands to US as Homer did to the
ancients-it excels the finestgem to be
found in poetic cabinets from the Creek
anthology downward" DR.. Mlller's in
teresting poetic" presentation Of the
address follows:
80
Fourscore and seven years ago
Our fathers brought forth on this continent
A new nation,
Conceived In liberty,
And dedicated TO the proposition
That all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged In great civil war.
Testing whether that nation,
Or any nation SO conceived and so dedicated,
Can long endure.
We are met on great battlefield Of that war,
We have come to dedicate q portion of that
field
AS final resting place
For those who here gave their lives
That that nation might live.
1t is altogether fitting and proper
That we should do this.
But. in larger sense,
We can not dedicate
We can not consecrate-
We can not hzllow-
This ground.
The brave men. living and dead,
Who struggled here
Have consecrated 1t far above our poor
power
To add or detract
The world will little note nor long remember
What we say here.
But ii can never forget
What they did here.
II is for US, the living, rather
To be dedicated here TO the unfinished work
Which they who fought here have so nobly
advanced.
II is rather for US TO be here dedicated
To the great task remaining before us
That from these honored dead
We take increased devotion TO that cause
For which they gave the last full measure
of devotion;
That we here highly resolve
That these dead shall not have died In vain;
That this nation, under God,
Shall have a new birth OF freedom;
And that government of the people,
BY the people, and for the people
Shall not perish from the earth.

Election Incident.

Lincoln was a clever politician and
never hesitated when president to play
trumps in a crisis.
Colonel A. K. Mcclure said that he
told Lincoln he couldn't carry Pennsyl-
vania In 1864 on the home vote unless
he furloughed 10000 Pennsylvania sol
dfers and sent them back here to vote.
Lincoln hesitated only a moment and
then requested both Meade and Sher-
idan to send 5000 troops into Pennsyl-
vania for tie election, which was done.
McClure's prediction was evidently
correct, as Lincoln, even with the
10000 troops voting here, carried
Pennsylvania by only SIP. To this
plurality was added some 1900 as the
result Of Pennsylvania soldiers voting
in the field.-Philadelphia Ledger.

OLD PRESCRIPTION

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
NO other kidney remedy that | know of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
klmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it fulfils al
