Germans Likely
To Join Russians
Allies Fully Prepared
for Eventualities and
Desire Only to
Aid Russia
By Arthur S. Draper
,"so1:a: Ccu3ie to The Tribune

Copyright. 1915 by The Tribune Association)
LONDON, July 25.-The Bolshe-
vlk government has decided that AL
lied Intervention on the Murman
coast is equivalent to declaration
of war, and announces that counter
measures will be taken Immediately.
This action was regarded here as
not surprising. From the outset Le-
nine and Trotzky have been at pains
to let the Entente know they were
against Entente action in any quar-
ter and that the local Soviet acted
contrary to their wishes in inviting
the Allies to land.
This means that the Bolsheviki
will undoubtedly link up with the
Germans if they can enlist their sup
pert in an adventure in this direc-
toll. 1t may very possibly mean
lively though limited fight.

calculated to bring the Allies and
Russia into armed conflict. Thus
they quote the Bolshevik newspaper
"Pravda" as stating, "Russia must
watch English and French imperial
ism"
Again, it says the Murman Soviet
has decided, ''in agreement with the
British and French commanders,
that all Russian formations shall be
subject to the Soviet, and that the
Entente troops will only be auxiliary
% the Soviet
Russians here consider the Muir
man expedition very favorably, and
trlnk 1t will lead to practical results.
The Allies were fully prepared for
the present development when they
embarked on the enterprise, which
has no objective except the embar-
rassment of the Germans and the
assistance of Russia.

Food Board Cuts Enemy Raked
Sugar Ration to ByRain of Fire
= Lbs. a Month From the Sky
Home and Public Economy
From August | to
January | Urged
Especial Dispatch to The Tribnne


WASHINGTON, July 25.-The food
administration to-day called on the
American public to restrict it's con-
sumption of sugar in the home to
two pounds per person per month
from August to January 1. This
regulation supersedes the present re-
striction of three pounds per person
per month and includes both sugar
used on the table and in cooking.
A similar order now in preparation
places the same limitation on sugar
consumption in public eating estab
llshments, the latter being restricted
to two pounds for every ninety meals
served.
The more stringent restrictions on
sugar consumption are found essen
tial, the food administration states,
following an exhaustive survey of the
world sugar situation and a compila-
ton of the essential sugar needs of
both the United States and Europe.
Available sugar supplies have fallen
conside erably below estimates of two
months ago. This has been due in
part to disappointing crops in the
American beet sugar region, the Lou
isiana cane sugar section and in Porto
Rico. In addition, Java sugar still re-
mains unavailable through the con-
tinuing shortage of ships, and the
sugar requirements from this country
Of both France and Italy have been
increased through German and Aus
trian capture of beet sugar plants.
$4,000, 900 Pounds Lost
Moreover, the United States lost
50,000,00O pounds of sugar in the last
few months through submarine sink
ings off the Atlantic coast.
The food administration issued the
following:
"The food administration is conf
dent that the American public will
heartily agree to reduce the household
use of sugar here to level more near
ly equal to the present restrictions
among the peoples of the Allies, pro-
vided our people clearly comprehend
that sugar, which with us is often used
in great measure as luxury, has be-
come an essential element for the sue
cess of the war among the nations of
Europe.
Upon our action here depends the
possibility of maintaining the ration

the Allies, as we'll as of avoiding

Hearst's Aid
Is Scorned by
Whitman Men
Notice Served on Publisher
by Governors Cam
paign Manager

William W. Cocks, campaign man
ager for Governor Whitman, yester-
day served notice on William R. Hearst
that the Republicans do not want his
help in the Governorship campaign.
The call paid by Arthur Brisbane,
Hearst's chief editorial writer, to Gov
ernor Whitman at the St. Regis, fol-
lowed later by an editorial in "The
Americana" criticising the Democratic
state convention and yesterday in "The
Evening Journal" by an attack on At
torney General Lewis for his political
association with Elihu Root, William
Barnes and Elon r. Brown, suggested
to Mr.. Cooks that the Hearst papers
were getting ready to support Gov
ernor Whitman in the primaries
Hearst's support of the Governor, at
a time when the Lewis Barnes men
are watching for a chance to make
trouble, is not popular with the Whit
nan men. When Mr. Cocks read the
editorial last night he had a hurried
conference with George w. Perkins
Franklin B. Lord and Harry Ingraham,
the latter two being associated with
him at the Whitman headquarters in
the Hotel Manhattan, and issued the
following:
"If Hearst is looking for COM
fort i'm the Whitman camp he
viii be s0reIy disappointed. He
Is evidently trying to relieve his
own embarrassment by pretend
ing to be either for Governor
Whitman or against Mr.. Lewis.
Apparently he thinks that If he
could do this he could switch the
Spotlight TO some ore besides
himself.
"Mr. Hearst was repudiated
by his own party at the Sara
t0ga convention.
1--WE will not stand for any
Hearst support, and you cannot
make this statement too en-.
phafic."
Senator Theodore Douglas Robinson,
Mr.. Lewis's campaign manager, said
the editorial attack on Mr.. Lewis and
mild support of the Governor was the
best campaign news he had heard since
he opened the Lewis headquarters.
