RUSSIANS HAVE
Been BETRAYED
SAYS KERENSKY
Country Has Not Been Credit
ed for Part Played in War,
Former Premier Charges.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The allies have
betrayed Russia. They have stuck a
knife in the back of Russian democ-
racy"
Alexander Fecdorovitch kerensky
fairly shouted these words today. He
was in high state of excitement.
His eyes were burning with an al
most uncanny fire in the pallid setting
of his emaciated face, showing the
traces of terrific suffering.
As he spoke he accentuated his
words with emphatic forward jerks Of
his close-cropped head. He appeared
much as he was pictured in his prime.
when he tried to fire his countrymen
to fight to the last ditch.
Despite Russia's heroic sacrifices
during three years of war. without
which victory could not possibly have
been won; despite the supreme effort
during my regime in that vital sum-
mer. when we kept the Germans
pinned on the east front while Amer
lea slowly gathered strength to throw
her decisive weight in to the struggle
on the west front year later-despite
all this and more, the Entente is
planning to tear Bessarabia from us
to give it to Roumania. They do not
give us fair chance at the peace
conference"
The former premier excitedly hit the
table with his fists. He was speaking
in French.
Critlczes America
Hasn't Russia as much If not more
of share in the victory as America ?"
he asked.
THE United States has $4,000 dead
in the war. Russia has 10000 dead.
America has been in the war few
months. Russia, fighting ceaselessly
bore the brunt from the start, save in
the last year. She fought ceaselessly
while completely cut off from allied
supplies. She did not get one thou
sandth part Of what France got"
VI. kerensky was asked il he would
be satisfied with settlement for Rus
STA on the basis Of President Wilson's
IA principles With sweep of his
arms he answered:
Wilson's IA points as mere themes
for discussion are excellent, but they
are academic. All depends up on the
way they are carried out.

Keep on Gardening
Ey C.. |. CHRISTIE.

Many OF our city and town felix for
the past two years have had their
first taste of gardening, have enjoyed
the work, and realize its benefits.
Some, however, now that the war is
over think they can afford to abandon
their gardens in the city and depend
On a supply of foud from others eff.
forts
That the war is over is only a great
er reason for increasing our food pro-
duction by the use of formerly idle
land of our cities and towns. Mr.
Hoover tells us that food will be more
scarce in 1919 than ever before. Not
only will we have our own people to
feed, but those who have been in
close touch with the situation tell US
that in Europe half the countries are
starving and in all of them there is
serious food shortage. The fields
of Northern France and Belgium cut
to pieces as they are with shells will
not be able to produce large crops I'M
til reconstruction of the land has
taken place.
The millions of people in these
countries arc looking to the United
States as a supply depot of the world.
Our canned goods, dried vegetables
and fruits, and other food materials
must be shipped in large quantities.
Every inhabitant of town and city
should garden more energetically than
ever to produce all the food needed
for his own family. Every gardener
should attempt more earnestly than
before to raise not only al 1.-The sum-
smer vegetables he needs. but enough
storage crops and vegetables for cam
ming to provide a plentiful supply for
winter use.
Plan larger garden for 1919.
