Amsterdam, Sept. 9.-The Soviet
government OF Russia is willing 10
prepare for the exchange Of diplomats
with Great Britain, IL the neutral
powers will undertake to guarantee
that the Bolshevik representatives at
London are given a safe conduct
home. The following statement by
Foreign Minister Tchltcherin for
warded to The Vossische Zeitung by
the Petrograd Telegraph agency out
lines the conditions under which the
Soviet government will act.
After discovery of the course Of
action of the French and British dip
lomats, whose activities were direct
ed against the Soviet power the gov
eminent of the Soviet republic found
itself obliged to isolate various agents
OF the powers named. Nevertheless
the government, as~before, is willing
to prepare for the exchange of diplo-
mats If the neutral powers will un-
dertake to guarantee that NJ. LitVin-
off and all Russian citizens receive a
safe conduct; that LitvinofFs and

Following an attack on the British
consulate at Petrograd on August 81,
in which Captain Cromie, the British
attache was killed, the British gov
eminent demanded immediate repara-
tions. In addition, the British gov
eminent placed M. Litvinoff, Bolshe-
vik representative in London, under
arrest.

approval of President Wilson.
The new price is nine cents F. O..

finers, compared with the existing
price Of IN cents, with the same
allowance for refiners.
Officials said today the increase

Manufacturers
OfNear Beers
= To Be Hard Hit
-(By Associated Press


Washington, Sept. 9.-Manufact-
urers Of hear beers and substitutes
for beer, which have developed a
flourishing business in prohibition
territory, it was officially explained
today, are just as much affected by
the decision to cut off brewing of
beer as those who make the actual
beverage. Millions of dollars have
been invested in the business.
The principal uses breweries can
be converted to are the manufacture
Of ice, cold storage, making of yeast
for baking, rolling barley and grind
ing grains for mill feed. All these
purposes would likely be considered
essential to the war or to the civil
population.
Manufacture of all other bever-
ages of the so-calIed soft variety
months ago, was curtailed 80 per
cent by the food administration as
q sugar conservation measure.
Further curtailment of the manu-
facture Of such beverages and min
eral waters is under consideration.

TO HEART

Czecho Slovaks Capture
Long Stretch Of Siber-
ian Railroad
tBy Associated Press

Vladivostok, Sept. 9.-The Japanese
military staff has been informed that
the Czecho- SIovaks hold the railway
from Olovyanna to Plaza.
1t is now apparent that the unex-
pected climax in the Czecho- Slovak
break through was due partially to
the Allied advance toward Khabo-
rovsk, which caused the transfer Of a
large Bolshevik force from Lake Bal
kal toward Khabarovsk and the
weakened front collapsed under the
Czech pressure from the west and
General Sarenoffs pressure from the
east.
The opportunity is now presented Of
the Allies taking advantage Of the
strategical points in the hands of the
Czechs to move into the heart of Rus
STA, where considerable reinforce
ments from loyal Russian elements
are certain and striking a stunning
blow at Germany. 1t is believed Ger
many will make the greatest sacri
fees to hold conquered Russian ter
ritory.
Olovyanna is in Transbaikalia
about 400 miles east of Lake Baikal,
while Penza is on the railroad a lit
tie more than 500 miles southeast Of
Petrograd. The distance between
Olovyanna and Penza is nearly 1000

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 81. o.
Hellstrom Of Bismarck. who four
years ago as. the Democratic candi-
date for governor, gave L. B. Hanna
a close shave; who formerly was
warden Of the state penitentiary and
a member Of the legislature; who
served" for year as secretary Of the
North Dakota Council Of Defense,
which was very active in patriotic
work under his direction, and who
now is Democratic candidate for the
legislature from Burleigh county,
has addressed to the voters of his
district a letter in which he ana
lyzes the ten constitutional amend
ments to be submitted by the league
at the general election in November.
Mr.. Hellstrom's letter follows:
Mr.. Voter: Have you made up
your mind how you will vote on
the proposed amendments to the
constitution?
First: Do you know that as our
constitution now stands we are
limited to a bonded debt Of $780, 900,
and il you vote in favor of the
amendments proposed you will vote
to increase the debt limit to $12,-
100000, an increase at the ratio Of
$50 for 81? Question-What is this
for? Who will it benefit?
Second: Do you know that a
state bond lis a first mortgage lien

God bless your soul. Get busy and
lift it?'
Keep Your Birthrisht.
Would you be proud Of such a
legacy? 1t is up to you, Mr.. Voter,
to do some thinking. The land Is
full of dreamers who presume to
think and act for you. They are
long on promises. Just hold on to
your birthright; the. safety valve is
still necessary. It is all right to
try new things. but } don't throw
away both the brakes and the safety
valve. The course Of the dreamer
is liable to take you over some hills.
You may need the brakes. We know
that the dreamers accuse us Of being
cave jewellers, but after all a cave
may be a more secure domicile than
a. cloud. Better stick to the we'll
beaten paths of human progress.
Russia is just now trying out the
plan of unbridled socialism. Let us
watch their progress-if anything
good comes of it, we can adopt it,
and we can avoid their mistakes. So
far, our judgment tells us there is
g. prospect that many mistakes will
be made.
1--WE are not suffering to such a
degree that we cannot endure for a
brief spell. Let us see how the
dreamers handle common ordinary
things before we consent to submit
to shackles, and debts are shackles.
To remove the debt limit means debt
without limit. Are you ready to
surrender? I think not.
do you believe in class legisla-
ton? Read this one Of the proposed
amendments: The legislature may
by law exempt any or all classes of
personal property from taxation and
within the meaning of this section,
fixtures, buildings and improve
ments of whatsoever character upon
land shall be deemed personal prop
erty.'
This will throw down the bars;
all safeguards will be removed, and
each class will seek exemption from
taxation. Every legislature will be
the scene of corruption and bribery.
The powerful classes will have their
lobby at Bismarck to bargain for
favors. Do you expect any favors?
Can you afford to maintain a. lobby
at Bismarck to protect your inter-
ests? If this amendment passes, you
will have no protection except such
as you may hire and pay for. Can
you afford to take the chance?"

Whitehouse. the American charge

and Europeans who were anxious to
learn the lot OF friends and reia
tives in Russia
Immediately after crossing into
Finland. the Americans were im-
pressed by the orderly conditions
at the railway stations The trains
were clean and the car windows not
broken, and hoodlums were not
breaking down passenger and freight
trains by overlooking them. The
Firms near the border had sufficient
food, except -four and sugar.
Conditions improved as the special
railway train approached Tornea,
opposite the Swedish border and on
the Swedish side they were almost
unbelievable for refugees from So
Wet Russia, which is staggering on.
hungry and miserable, toward a
hopeless winter.
When the Americans left Russia,
they say, -four sold at 1875 a pound
and was seldom obtainable at any
price. Sugar. also scarce, sold at 50
a pound.
The refugees say that starvation
had become so prevalent in MOSCOW
that late in August the food COM
regulations on citizens and permit
them 10 enter the city with sixty
pounds Of food each. This step. Il
was asserted. was an admission Of
the absolute failure of the food COM
mission which had no bread and
was forced through the pressure OF
the rebellinE citizens. to let the
people take the food supply into
their own hands.
Wheat Not Available.
Wheat and other grains were not
available. as the peasants in the
grain sections still under Soviet con-
troll. refused to feed the cities. Po-
tatoes and other vegetables were
selling at 25 cents a pound. They
are the chief food supply Of Moscow
and Petrograd.
The workmen Of Moscow and
Petrograd factories cannot obtain
food from the commission. which has
advised them TO shoulder rifles and
take the grain away from the peas
ants. This advice has seldom been
needed. as a majority Of the workers
regard the peasants as brothers.
Wholesale charges by the Bolshe-
Wiki newspapers that the Bourgeoisie
are wholly responsible for the food
shortage no longer quiet the hungry
labOrers. whose faith in the Bolshe-
Wiki is waning appreciabIy. The
promises Of Leon Trotzky, the Boil
shevki foreign minister, TO quell the
Czecho Slovak rising and tap the
supply Of wheat no longer are gen.
orally credited.
Russia. the refugees say. has a
bumper wheat and rye crop in vir-
tually all the grain sections. Much
Of the grain has already been har-
vested but the Bolshevik have
neither the organization nor the
transportation facilities to obtain
bread for the starving cities, which
scarcely can be expected to drag
through a breadless winter without
turning against a government whose
policy has lost the wheat districts.
