ROBINS DENOUNCES
.KOLCKAK AS TYRANT
Tells Ardenites He Prefers
Trotzky to New Rus
sian Leader
DEFENDS LAW
BY TIE SOVIETS

Raymond Robins, a member Of the
American Red Cross Expedition TO Rus
sia. IN an address on his experiences IN
Russia before an open air meeting at
Arden yesterday, scored Admiral Kol-
ckak as a tyrant and a murderer, and
declared that he would prefer the rule
OF the Bolshevlki IN Russia TO that Of
the reactionary element represented by
Kolckak Robins told of his dealings
With Lenine, Trotsky and other chiefs
Of the Bolsheviki.
''You have heard the stories repeat
edly printed I'm American newspapers
about the coming overthrow OF the
Bolsheviki. how Trotsky Is going to
imprlsOn Lenlne, how the Soviets were
losing ground and all that" said Mr..
Robins. but tell you these tales are
bunk and came from the propaganda
OF the parlor diplomats and arlstOcrats.
1T depends upon the group you
happened to visit what impression you
get OF Russia. Most Of the tales that
come from Russia and are printed In
the American newspapers, Mr. Robins
declared are from the old regime, the
artistocracy and the like who repre-
sent about seven per cent. Of the Rus
sian people"
Mr.. Robins said that he took the
outdoor view Of life and could
therefore tell truthfully Of his own ex-
periences. He described the workings
Of the Sovlets and told how the Keren-
sky government was always upon frag-
lie ground, how the Soyiets kept gain
Ing and gaining power and developed
to be the only source Of real power in
Russia. Mr.. Robins declared that he
was not a Bolsheviki.
II think" he said. that their eco
nomlc theory Is impossible Of realiza-
tion and is morally wrong, but that
does not prevent me and neither did
10 prevent Colonel William B. Thomp-
son, head Of the American Red Cross
Mission, from facing facts and recog-
nizing facts when they saw them"

DESPITE HUMIDITY

A thunder storm never received a
more cordial reception than The
shower which broke the backbone Of
the heat wave last night After flvc
days and nights OF intense heat the
city's population was on the point Of
exhaustion. The suffering was intense
In the moro crowded sections.
Very few people in any portion Of
the city got much sleep on Saturday
night Most families stayed out on
porches, or IN the yards until after
midnight home interiors being literal
" furnaces. Many decided to camp out
for the entire night, on the porch One
fiat roof was turned into a sleeping
apartment by a young man who soft
ened the Tin roofing by numerous rugs
He and the family cat spent the night
there but found it intolerably hot. at
that. In the lower districts, children
slept out on the sidewalks.
Thousands who sought summer re-
SORTS for the weekend were disap-
pointed 90 flnd the temperature nearly
as high in these usually cool spots as
10 was in Wilmington. The heat wave
blanketed the entire Atlantic coast.
The city put In as little extra motion
as possible, yesterday. The sun-baked
streets were deserted, and the trolly-
cars scsntily nlled with the exception
OF those bound for parks. II was the
hottest July ever recorded for this
locality by the United States Weather |
Bureau.
The weather bureau predicts cooler |
for this week, with /
cloudlness and showers.
No heat prostrations were reported 1
in Wilmington. although two deaths
and many prostratlons' from heat oc-
CURED yesterday in Philadelphia.
While scores OF wires and trees were
blown down about the city by the
storm little damage was reported. Two
houses in South Claymont street had
'ront windows broken, when n large

STATE OFFICIALS WILL AID
Committee Named to Bring About Closest Cooperation in construc-
 ton of Highways.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 To bring about the most effective cooperation between the federal and state governments in the big program of highway construction now under way, A. R. Hirst, president of the American Association of State High way Officials, has named, at the re- quest of the secretary of agriculture, committee to act with the depart ment of agriculture's bureau of public roads in carrying into effect the fed eral aid road act and It's amendments.
 Following are the state representa- tives selected by Mir. Hirst:
 George P. Coleman, state highway commissioner of Virginia; s. B. Bradt, state superintendent of highways of Illinois; Charles J. Bennett, state highway commissioner of Connecti- cut; W. s. Keller, state highway en- gfneer of Alabama. aud Ira R. Brown ing, state road engineer of Utah.
 Stimulated by recent liberal amend ments and added appropriations to the original federal aid road act, road building plans in the states have re. ceived tremendous impetus. Many of the states have provided by large bond issues and otherwise, amounts much larger than will be required to match the federal appropriations.
 Up to May of this year, 1,057 prof ect statements for federal aid roads had been approved by the secretary of agriculture. They involve the improve ment of 105S0 miles of roads at an estimated cost of $92, ,933, ,121.S1, of which the federal aid requested was $36,576,S ,S57.48. The amount of federal funds available on March 1 for road building was more than SIP 100000, which, under the law must be match ed by an equal amount from the states, making total of $145, 5,800,000, which includes approximately $9,900,- GOO from federal and state sources for roads in the national forests. Funds that will become available on July 1, with equal contributions from the states, will provide an additional $198,- 100000 for federal road work, mak- ing an aggregate sum of $343, soc, ,000 available for the calendar year. It is expected, however, that the states will defer taking up part of the available funds until 1920.
 War conditions, which almost imme- diately followed the passage of the first federal aid act in July. 1916, brought scarcity of labor, materials and transportation, and restricted

Thus the road program was held back for more than year at a time when demands for improved roads increased more rapidly than In any previous period. State and federal forces alike are working to get highway construc- tion under way as rapidly as con- tracts can be let and as soon as road building forces, somewhat disorgan- ized during the war period, can again be placed on an efficient working basis,
