RUSSIA IS powERLEss
To Take Any Part in Conflict in Thurman
District.

Hardin, Manchuria, Aug. II (corre-
spondence of The Associated Press -
Russia is powerless to take any partsin
the impending conflict Of allied and Ger
man affairs in the Thurman district, &C.
eording to the version of recent
speech by Premier Lenine, which has
been received here,
'The English and French bourgeoisie
have spent enormous sums on Thurman
and of course with mereenary purpose"
asserted Lenne.
"They have landed troops to protect
the Thurman coast We had no proper
forces to prevent this. The German
government demands that they be dis
armed, telling us that if we cannot de-
fend ourselves they will carry on the
war in our territory
Referring to the Ukraine, Lenine
claimed that the Germans were met
everywhere with desperate resistance.
"To the Caucasus" Lenine points out,
"the Soviet sent inquiries regarding the
new frontiers which the Caucasian gov
eminent laid claim to, but received no
answer
owe are not great power. OF Russia
nothing is left but Great Russia. For us
the interests Of universal socialism are
higher than national interests. For us,
the little down trodden Great Britain
stands far higher than that stupendous
great power which sold itself to the i'm
perialists with secret treaties
eve cannot now conceal the fact that
we are in favor of defense. We wish TO
defend our socialistic fatherland. For
this we must have proletarian dicta-
torship."

DEFERRED CLASSIFIED
FARMERS PLEDGE THEM
SELVES TO GOVERNMENT
Tell the Secretary of Agriculture They
Are Ready to Undertake Anything
They May Be Called Upon to
Do to Help Win the War.

Washington, D. G., Aug. I've are
ready with ITO per cent increase Of
wheat, or whatever else your department
may call upon us to do to help win the
war" That is the message that 400
farmers of Madison county, Indiana,
flashed over the wires to the secretary
of agriculture few days ago.
1t indicated also that men in de-
ferred classifieations realize that they
owe special duty to their country, for
it came from farmers who have been
given the opportunity to keep at agri
cultural production The rest Of the
telegram, from II S. Agster, rural direc-
tor Of the deferred registered men Of
Madison county, said Thirty three
hundred men met on Saturday and per
feeted the deferred registered mems or.
gahization of Madison county, Indiana
About | 400 of us are farmers. Al
though our corn was severely frosted
on the twenty-second day Of June, we
are going to increase our number Of
brood sows ten per cent
Secretary Houston's Response.
In expressing the gratitude Of the
people of the country to this associa.
ton Of war farmers, the secretary Of
agriculture sent the following telegram.
Men who have been given deferred
on occupational grounds
owe special service to their country
That you are conscious Of this special
responsibility is evidenced by your pa
triotic action in the organization Of the
deferred registrants in your county. 1t
Is gratifying to the department Of az
rieulture to have this expression from
you pledging increased food production
in face of unfayorable weather condi.
tons Through the county agents the
department Of agriculture has encour-
aged action throughout the country sim
liar to that taken in your county"

Housewives Released from Wheatless
Pledge.

Housewives throughout the country
who periodically put their homes on
wheatless basis last spring have been re-
leased from their pledges to the food adj
ministration to 60 absolutely without
wheat. This release was merely from
the voluntary pledge to 60 entirely with
out wheat until the new harvest House
wives will continue to purchase the re-
quired amount of wheat substitute with
their wheat -four Bakers are still
obliged to make Victory bread, which
must contain at least rs per cent wheat
substitute.
This release of housewives follows
close upon like action in case of hotels,
restaurants, clubs and dining car sery-
ices
Coming in of the new wheat crop has
made it possible for the nation to go
back partially to its old habits Of eat
ing. But the uncertainties Of war and
the necessity for building up a food re-
serve are incentives to caution, even in
the face Of good crop.
The response Of the American house,
wife last spring, when the eountry's
wheat reserves we're exhausted and only
the wheat saved By abstinence could he
sent abroad in response to the life-and
death appeals Of the allies, is regarded by
the food administration as ono Of Che
finest manifestations Of patriotic spirit
since America entered the war Hun.

or wholly on a wheatless basis.

Peptiron after eating. These two great

WE MUST CONTINUE STRUGGLE
For Our Enemies (the Allies) Show Lit
tie Inclination for Peace.

Amsterdam, Aug. Accommodating on
the recent interview given by Admiral
Won Hintze, the German foreign secre-
tary, in which he laid the responsibility
for continuation Of the war upon the
entente, the Frankfort Gazette says:
1--WE must continue the hard and bit
ter struggle for the defense Of the ia
therland, for our enemies show little in
elination for peace, and neither from
Lloyd George nor Clemenceau is any read
mess for an understanding to be ex-
pected
"Ihe daily increasing influence of
America upon the entente is of still
greater Importance Any sign of desire
for an understanding on the part of the
European allies is counterbalanced by
the war craze of the United States. In
such cases there is nothing to be done
but arm ourselves with courage and per.
severance for the next developments"

BASTON SHINES
IN FRONT LINE
Famous Minnesota HalfbacI
Woundedin Thick of Fight
with Marines.

A war dispatch the other day
brought back a scene at Northrup
Field, the great athletic stadium
of the University of Minnesota.
The scene is set in the fall OF
1915 and lined up against each
other are the the powerful football
teams representing Minnesota and
Wisconsin.
The referees whistle shrills. the
Wisconsin line moves forward as
the ball is kicked far into Mime
sofa territory.
The oval is captured and the in
reference move in on the man with
the ball. Wisconsin tacklers are
bowled this way and that and sud
denly there breaks from the inter
ference a tall. dark, slender youth
who sprints toward the distant Wis
consin goal
One by one the Wisconsin men
are passed. The defensive full
back alone remains between the
fleet footed runner and the goal. He
tackles low, but the Minnesota
youth has lodged cleverly and is
away with a clear field.
The stands are in an uproar as he
glides over the line with the ball.
The youth was Albert Baston. per-
haps the greatest all-round football
player ever developed at Minnesota.
Two years a member Of Walter
Camps all-American team. in years
when many great ends roved over
the gridirons of East and West,
three years an aIl-Western selection.
once captain Of his team, Baston was
one OF the really remarkable figures
in Minnesota University athletics.
The dispatch referred to is that
Baston has been wounded with the
Marines in France.
1t ID not at all strange that Bas-
ton should have picked the Marine
Corps as the field in which to 10
his bit. He was the type Of Amer
lean atGete who wants to be in the
thick d things, and knew that the
Marines would put his where he
would not be disappointed.
1t is not surprising from his ath-
letic record that Baston should have
been in the thick of the fight. He
was always found there on the foot
ball field.
Beginning with the immortal John
ny Poe, American football will show
many heroes on the great gridiron
Of France before the referees whistle
has brought this game to a close.
