PETRoGRAD CITY OF MISERY
incident Recorded by Maxim corky
Reveals Frightful Conditions in
the Great Russian Capital.

Maxim Gorky has written several
sketches OF human interest bearing on
events in the Russian revolution,
which appear in recent number of
the Suddeutschen Monatshefte. Among
them the following adventure of
young woman in the streets of Petro-
grad late at night, written in Gorky's'
characteristic style:
A young woman tells me:
II was with my sick sister until late
and left her at midnight to go home,
just when all the lights In the streets
were extinguished. The streets were
dark and ghostly figures stood in
doorways-one could not tell whether
they were watchmen or robbers As
hurried along / suddenly heard
heavy steps behind me- / looked
around fearfully. A man in military
uniform slender and with pale face
and hollow eyes, was following me.
There was nobody else In sight and
no signs of cab. The man continued
following me like fate. My God, !
thought, is he going to rob me or, per
haps, do something even worse? took
my gold bracelets from my arms and
hid them in folds of my dress. He APP

He, however. kept pace beside me.

and said:

APPROPRIATIONS ID
 HOLD SOLONS OVER
1Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Congress failed today in it's aim to enact the remaining appropriation bills before adjournment and to recess until next Monday.
 Unexpected house opposition to the conference agreement on the $766, 900, = 900 rmysappropriation bill, and ob- struction by house democrats to other measures, forced adjournment of both the senate and the house, until tomor- row, after the senate had listened most of the day to debate on the league of nations.
 With all the appropriation measures needed July l to provide funds for many government agencies, beginning the new fiscal year, leaders hoped to clear up all of the bills tomorrow and then adjourn until July ', when Presi- dent Wilson is expected to arrive with the German peace treaty.
 Of the five money bills left over, the naval appropriation measure, carrying s616, ,000, 900, and providing naval per sonnel of 170,000 men, was the only one completed today. Conference agreements were reached on all the others. including reduction of the sun dry civil bill from S775, 900 900 to s605, 0o0,000
 The house worked on conference re- ports all day, with some spirited debate on the army measure, which was re- turned to conference with it's represen- tatives instructed to insist that the appropriation for the air service be limited to s15,000.00
 The senate planned a night session to carry through the supply bills. but the handful of senators who returned at 8 o'clock agreed to adjournment upon learning of the blockade in the house, where democratic objection to consideration of the sundry civil and the District of Columbia conference re- ports forced postponement of final &C., ton until tomorrow.
 Two important bills. the s26. 900 agricultural appropriation measure, carrying the rider repeating the day. light saving law. October 26, and that ending government control of wires, expected to be effective July S1, were sent late today to the White House.

MAN WHO WROTE
 FORD ANARCHIST
 EDITORIAL HEARD
Intervention Policy Set by Patterson-Tells on Which Tribune i. < War With Germany = American Dignity Must Be Involved.

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, June 30. Practically all of today's session or Judge Fuckers court was taken up with the examination of Clifford 5. Raymand, who wrote the editorial June 23, 1916, headed, Ford is an Anarchist" on which the Detroit manufacturer based his s1,000,00O libel suit against the Chicago Daily Tribune
 The witness said that about 1914, the Tribune finally became convinced that only armed intervention in MeXl- co would bring anarchy to an end south of the Rio Grande,
 "Who was it on your paper decided to adopt the policy of intervention" asked Attorney Alfred Lucking.
 ITO the best of my knowledge, 1t was Captain J. M. Patterson"
 And at about this time the Tribune was also arguing that we should keep out of war with Germany"
 Yes, that we should keep out of war with Germany, if that were pos sible, and consistent with national in- terests and honor"
 Mir Raymond expressed the opinion that war with Mexico would not have caused any considerable reduction in the war supplies which the United Sldl6S NdS SiIPPiH5 tO bhC ShNChtO allies, and he thought that the build ing of an army, even of sufficient size and equipment to restore order in Mexico might have impressed the Ger mans with an idea that they woud better not wantonly invite us to join the allies.
 Attorney Weymouth Kirkland, rep resenting the Tribune, asked MT. Ray mond to state the Tribute policy and the witness answered:
 Our policy was based on the belief that a nation was justified in going into war only when it's honors, it's se- curity, or when its genuine interests were involved in the issue; if the world war had involved American dig nity and honor, security and future the United States should go in. If it did not involve the United States in that way, the American people had no busi . ness subjecting themselves to the ex- perience."

NON-COMS WANT I
 DISCHARGE FROM
 SERVICE AT ONCE

FL PASO, Texas, June 30.-imme- diate discharge from the army is asked by 406 non commissioned officers and enlisted men of the Eighty second field artillery stationed here which they forwarded to Washington to- night.
 The signers, according to men who circulated the petition, represent Vir- tually every member of the regiment who enlisted for the war emergency, and the petition is based on the fact that the treaty of peace, having been signed, the war emergency no longer exists.
 The petition is addressed to the senate and house military affairs con- mittees and was mailed to the chair man of those bodies.
 Referring to conditions on the Mexi- can border, the petitioners declare: We are reminded of the unsettled conditions prevailing on the Mexican border, We wish to bring to your at tention the offer of Governor Hobby, (of Texas) of two brigades of troops 1000 men, for border service The refusal of this offer indicates the war departments intention to hold us for all emergencies arising along the bor- der, even though our enlistments have expired"
 Conditions on the border are such that 1t is impossible to dintinguish the men enlisted for the war emer- gency," said Brigadier General James B. Erwin, commander the border dis trict, tonight.
 The general declared line units in this region were far below their full strength and that enlistments for these bodies were coming in slowly, though enlistments for the speciality branches were being received rapidly.
