RUSSIA is HELPLESS
ON MURMAN COAST

l HARDIN, Manchuria, Aug. IL
Russia is now powerless TO take
any part in the impending conflict of
allied and German affairs in the Man
.churian district, according to the YER
sion of a recent speech by Premier
Lenine which has been received here.
''The English and French bour-
geoisie have spent enormous sums on
Murman and of course with mercen-
ary purpose" asserted Lenine.
They have landed troops to protect
the Murman coast. We had no pro-
per forces to prevent this. The Ger
man government demands that they
be disarmed, telling us that if we can
not defend 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.
ITO the Caucasus" Lenine pointed
out, 'the Soviet sent inquiries re-
garding the new frontiers which the
Caucasian government laid claim to,
but received no answer"
I'VE are not a great power. OF
Russia nothing is left but Great Rus
sia. For us the interests of universal
socialism are higher than national in
terests. For us, little down -trodden
Great Britain stands far higher than
that stupendous great apower which
sold itself to the imperialists with
secret treaties.
I'VE cannot now conceal the fact
that we are in favor. of defense. We
wish to defend our sociaiistic father
land For this we must have a pro-
letarian Dictatorship

INFERIOR MACHIERY CAUSES
LOSSES To MAY FARMERS

WALLA WALLA, Wash., Aug. ZU'-
Farmers are having a hard time get
ting their wheat crop harvested In
this section. They complain that
much of the new machinery received
this wear is of inferior Workmanship
and material and that breakdowns
have been much more frequent than
usual. One farmer still has 10 acres
of grain to cut and work is held up
pending the arrival or repairs for his
combine. Even some of the new trac-
tors are proving balky.

DEFERRED CLASSIFICATION
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, Aug. 20.--"We are
ready with a 110 per cent Increase of
wheat. or whatever else your depart
ment 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 Secre-
tary of Agriculture a few days ago.
1t indicated also that men in de-
ferred classifications realize that they
owe special duty to their country
for it came from farmers who have
been given the opportunity to keep
at agricultural production. The rest
OF the telegram, from H. S. Agster,
rural director of the deferred regis
tered men of Madison county, said;
'tThirty-three hundred men met on
Saturday and perfected the deferred
registered mons organization of
Madison county, Indiana. About 1,4O0
of us are farmers. Although cur corn
was severely frosted on the 22d OF
June we are going TO increase our
number of brood sows 10 per cent.
Secretary 4IoustOns 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 tele-
gram:
Men who have been given deferred
cIassifcations on occupational grounds
owe a special service to their country
That you are conscious of this spe'
cial responsibility is evidenced by your
patriotic action in the organization OF
the deferred registrants in your coun-
ty. 1t is gratifying to the Department
OF Agriculture to have this express
sion from you pledging increased food
production in face of unfavorable
weather conditions. Through the
county agents the Department OF
Agriculture has encouraged action
throughout the country similar to that
taken in your county,
