r. L. Williams, Who Spent
Three Years There,
Praises Country
PEOPLE HAVE NO MORALS

The need Of Russia today Is a gov
crnment similar to that of the United
States with group Of strong patriots
in control Of affairs and less oratory
of the soapbox variety. This is the
opinion of r. i. Williams. Of Racine.
Wis, for three years representative
Of the J. I. Case Implement Co. in
the territory tributary to Odessa on
the Black sea.
Mr.. Williams. who was here to at
tend the funeral of his nephew. vii
liam J. Williams yesterday, has had
Il varied experience in many foreign
countries. OF all the foreign lands
he has visited. Mr.. WILLIAMS likes
Russia best and believes. once a stable
form Of government is established and
the peasant class is given an Oppor-
tunity to secure an education, that
Russia will be Il virtual land Of
promise. g.
As early rs 1909 and 1910, ultra
radicals were spreading the seeds OF
BOlshevism. said Mr.. Williams. AMI
because Of the oppression. lack OF
education of the masses and the gen
eral trusting nature Of the Russians.
the seeds had no difficulty in germ
mating. With the overthrow Of the
monarchy. followed by the counter
revolution against Kerensky, the form
of government dictated by Lenine. and
Trotsky had no difficulty in gaining
a foOthold. Mr.. Williams stated.
DEMAND FOR MACHINERY
There is a big demand for machinery
but American companies are afraid
TO do business with the Russians
under their present form of govern
ment. said Mr.. Williams. Removal of
the agitatorS and dictators of the
Lcuine-Trotsky stripe, Mr.. Williams
believes. is the Surest way to bring
about real form Of government. and
when this is done. all Of the cOull-
tries Of the world will be strivin"
to get the major portion of this bnsi-
ness
MrWilliams believes that the church
had great deal to do with the present
conditions in Russia. Morality among
the peasant classes is an unknown
quantity which III a certain degree
accounts for the PRONUNCIATION of such
ethics as the naturalization of wom

DANIELS SEEKING BULK
Department Kept Ships Massed
on This Side Ready for
''Eventualities"

Washington, March 1.-Indications
that the navy department withheld
sending all available American naval
craft to European waters early in the
war because of a desire to keep the
main body of the nations sea strength
intact for possible eventualities were
contained in Admiral Sims testimony
before the senate committee investi-
eating the naval conduct of the war.
He read cablegram from the navy
department dated July 10, 1917, con-
tanning an outline of the departments s
policy and declaring that "while sue
cessful termination of the present war
must always be the first allied aim and
will probably result in diminishing
tension throughout the world, the fu-
ture position of the United States
must in no way be jeopardized by any
disintergration Of our main fighting
fleet" .-E
The same cablegram Admiral Sims
said, contained this statement:
PLAN OF ACTION
The navy department announces
as Its general plan of action the fol.
lowing: It's Willingness to send it's
minor fighting forces in any number
not incompatible with home need to
any field of action deemed advisable
by the allied admiralty council; it's
unWillingness,s as a matter of policy,
tto separate ,&pyg ,diNisien from the
main feet for service abroad, although
it is willing to send the entire battle.
shin fleet abroad to act as a united,
but cooperating unit, when the emerg.
ency Is deemed to warrant it."
A message received from the navy
department, dated July 5, to the ef-
feet that several small vessels we're
being sent to augment his forces "in-
dicated that they were at least begin
ming to realize that there was war
being fought in European waters" de.
clared Admiral Sims.
STILL CALLING FO HELP
On July 80. Admiral Sims testified,
he reiterated his previous request for
more small craft with which to fight
submarines.
Even as late as January, 1918, he
was still calling for more destrOyers,
Admiral Sims said, and by that time
he declared his prediction that the
allies would lose the war unless the
United States gave more complete
naval cooperation were being justified
by results and the navy department
was beginning to carry out his recon-
mendation of six and eight months
before.

North Dakota Contracts Provide
for Application of Advances
Elsewhere T

Washington, March 11.--A rs per-
cent wage increase for bituminous
coal miners is recommended in a ma.
jority report of the commission ap.
pointed by President Wilson to settle
the coal strike and which presented
it's report for the presidents approval.
No change in working hours or con-
ditions was recommended. John p.
White, representing the miners, held
out for higirsr wage increase, it was
said, and will submit minority re-
port :
:" WILL ABSORB IA PERCENT
The wage increase proposed will
absorb the fourteen percent granted
when the miners returned to work last
November so that the actual increase
is eleven percent over the present
wage.
The wage increase would not be
made retroactive.
LEAVE CONSUMER UP IN AIR
The majority made no recommends
tiOns as to price increases to cover
the advance in wages. Its statement
ludI IL ulu HUI dSh ilOI lucl dulullllS-
trative powers was taken to mean that
it held that the question of increased
prices was one for the fuel admins
tration to decide. l.-.s
Whether the miners representa-
tives. concdrred in the wage increase
could not be learned.
. TO"APPLI LOCALLY
Any advance made in wages in the
central competitive field will apply
in North Dakota under the terms of
the contract which the United Mine
Workers here have with the produc.
ers. This was the principal reason
for the objection of North Dakota
miners to striking last fall, when
minewOrkers in the central field went
out; Governor. Frazier and Henry
Drennen of Billings. Mont, district
president, finally prevailed, however,
and there ensued an abOrtive strike
which Frazier at once made pretext
for the seizure of uniOnized mines and
their farccal operation by the state.
