Chief Attorney of the Moscow
Court Of Appeal Under the
Provisional Government.
Alexis F. staal was . leader
In the revolution OF 1905, and
upon the collapse of that move
ment was forced to leave Rus
sia. He went to Paris and re-
mained there until the March
revelation In 1917. He return
ed to Russia and was appointed
chief attorney Of the Moscow
Court of Appeals under the pro-
yisional government. He re-
tained his post through all the
three provisional governments,
but was forced into hiding after
the BoIsheyiki came into power.
Mr.. staaI has Just reached the
United States, from Russia
where he has seen the present
BoIsheyIst government I'm actisn
for more than six months.
Russia is dying under the heels OF
Prussianism and Bolshevism, and
unless proper help Is rushed to her,
she will become an irretrievable
victiE1 of German militarism. She
will be perverted, with all her re-
sources, into a German colony, con-
trolled by the German ruling
classes. The millions in Russia rec
ognize the seriousness of the crisis
and call for help.
The allies must understand that
the Russian democracy has nothing
in common with the Bolsheviki, and
the best way to eliminate Bolshevist
tyranny from Russian life is
through cooperation with chosen
representatives Of the Russian
democracy.
The Bolsheviki have endeavored
to suppress this democracy by dis
persing the Municipal Councils. the
ZemstTos and the Constituent As
sembly, and the future Of Russia
lies entirely in the re-establish-
ment of these. democratic institu-
tions. Only such institutions rep
resent the Russian people and
should have the aid of the allies.
Where the Municipalities and
Zemstvos have been eliminated they
should be re-established. Cooper
ating with them. or with organiza-
tions which actually represent all
classes. the allies will encourage the
support and the sympathy of the
Russian people.

The Germans. through their pol
icy Of violating even so favorable to
them a pact as the Brest-Litovsk
treaty, have destroyed the naive
faith which the Russian people had
in the "peaceable" intentions OF
their enemies. That faith was cre-
ated, by German and Bolshevist agi-
tation and propaganda.
The Bolsheviki have reduced Rus
sia to industrial. commercial. and
financial generalization. Because
of this decentralization, thousands
are dying Of starvation and cpl

The Russians have learned that
no country in the world can exist

m MEN To GO
TO CAMP DODGE

Richland County's quota for
this call will be III men. These
boys have been ordered to report
Tor the call of June "a, and it is
expected that every one of these
men to be on hand for date Of call.
Like the Gals previously, twenty
or thirty men extra, have been
called so that in case of deferred
classification or unphysically fit,
the III men will be obtained with
out any other calling of registered
men. e..
The boys are part of the next
increment to the national army
and will 60 from here to Camp
Dodge, the national cantonment
for this district. The train sched.
ule at this time has not been an.
nounced.
Richland county men have -
far been right in line with the best.
of them and in a number Of cases
haveh ad promotions as soon a.
thev haver cached the camp, due
to the fact that number Of them
have had training with Capt.
Thomson in company Ia few
years ago. q,
One of the things that the boys
should provide for themselves is
overall and jacket which will be
their uniform for the first three
wees until their measurement is
taen and regular khaki uniforms
is furnished. This they should do
to- man and it will not be only
helping themselves but the gov.
ernment as well.
AS has always been the case the
boys viii be given a send of. and
arrangements is now being made
to give them Il fitting farewell as
should be the case.
Right at this time it should
be mentioned that here i'm Wahpe-
ton is a alumber of men who hav.
lived here since the forming of
the citizens reserve and these
young men ! knowing that they
were in class one and would be
drafted within certain time have
signally failed to take the advan-
tage of being coming srhooled in
military tactics SO as to be in line
for promotion as soon as they
reach camp. There is still time for
some drill and if these young men
would call OF, Capt. Aspinwall Of
the Citizens Reserve he would be
more than glrd TO help them all
he could between now and the 2f.

BOARD
UP TO SCRATCH

Owing to the fact that several
county boards throughout the Un-
tied States shave put the married
men and others in .the wrong
classification, Provost Marshal
General Crowder has asked for: a
reclassification of the men now re-
manning Oh the lists of the county
board.
Richfand county draft board
when it got through the outline OF
classification found that it had 30
per cent of the entire registration
i'll the Class One list. Some of the
county boards had only ten per
cent of the registration in class
one.
The local board took it in this
light that married men with child
ren should he in lower class than
just married men and when they
were married.
This board also reports that on
ly in a few cases has there been
any alteration. Only where few
have filed false claims as to agri-
cultural work and have bee,
drifting from one part of the
country to another.

RAIL FARES ADVANCED
TO 3 CENTS MONDAY

Director General McAdoo has
issued an order which increases
railroad rates in the United States
% per cent and passenger fares to

sary to meet the cost of higher

$8OO.OO0,000 and $9OO,OOO,OOO
more revenues to the railroads
within the next year.
The freight rate increase will be
effective June 25 and the passen-
ger fare became effective Monday.

dition to the pullman fare. Excess

A hail storm driven by q terrific
wind and the stones about the size
of hen eggs, entirely wiped out

day at about seven O'Clock.
The storm started near Star
Lake, five miles west of Wynd-
mere and travelled along the N. P.
railroad track until it reached a
few miles west of Barney where it
joined hands with a northwestelE
that had just reached this point
and swept on with redoubled fury
to the southeast and south of Bar
ney when it changed it course to
q more easteriy direction.
The ahrdest hit districts accord.

that residents Of these parts de-
clare that the hail fell so thick
that in some districts she looked
like q frozen lake.
