Purpose of Visit.
NEW YORK. May 22. The Jewish
Dally Forward received a cablegram
from its correspondent in Petrograd
today saying- that an unsuccessful at
tempt was made today to assassinate
War Minister Kerensky. The dispatch
reads: '
"An attempt on the life of War Min
ister Kerensky was made just now.
Kerensky escaped. All the partici
pants arrested. Rumors that the plot
was arranged by the supporters of the
old regime."
Three Russian naval officers and a
civilian, representing, they say, the new
Russian government, arrived herje to
day on their way to Washington. They
said they were on a special mission,
which they declined to discuss.
The party consisted of Lieutenant '
Leon Kagernikoff. Lieutenant Nikola
Pehkoff, Sub-Lieutenant Andre Mizura
and Vladimir llliaschenko.
WASHINGTON, May 22. Foreign
Minister Tereschtenko, of Russia, in a
cabled note to the State Department to
day gives assurance on behalf of the
new ministry that Russian Democracy
is inspired with a spirit of solidarity
with the United States and, like Amer
ica, is carrying on the war to secure
the freedom of nations and lasting
peace.
"Like the United States, emancipated
Russia is not seeking conquest or any
covetous end in the present contest,"
says the communication. "The war is
carried on to secure the freedom of
nation and to achieve universal, last
ing peace, effectively guaranteed
against all later attacks."
HELSINGFORS, Finland, via Petro
grad and London, May 22. A congress
of the Swedish political party, repre
senting a majority of Finland's wealthr
iest and most influential classes, yes
terday adopted a resolution favoring a
complete separation of the Grand
Duchy of Finland from Russia.
The resolution reads in part:
"The Finnish people have progressed
so far in cultural and political develop
ment that Finland is entitled to make
a demand to take her place as an in
dependent state among the number of
sovereign nations."
Prominent among the advocates of
complete Finnish independence is Pro
fessor Erich, who declares that Fin
land attained absolute independence
by the fact of the revolution, when
the revolution occurred, adding that
Finland's future relations with Russia
would depend exclusively upon the will
of the Finnish people, and could be
regulated only by voluntary Finno
Russian treaties of an international
character.
Although some members of the
Swedish parties and of the Socialist
group oppose the idependence claims
as premature and as likely to cause ir
ritation in Russia, the only party sol
idly opposing the independence pro
gramme is the old Finnish party which
has always been persistently Russo-phile.

A wrong telephone connection that

was intended, caused the discharge of
Kinser from the service yesterday.
It was about 1 o'clock Monday morn

Chief continued watchful waiting, and
at 3:30 Kinser returned to the station.

A Harvest That Barrens
the Farm is Profitless
Sittet'Yalv Motor '
- Carbon periodically barrens the
vrdinary type of motor.
It has the opposite effect in the
Willys-Knight motor.
The more you 'drive it, the more
productive it becomes; compression,
becomes tighter, resulting in
smoother, more powerful and flexible
performance, until it reaches top
efficiency-at which point it is con
tinuously sustained for thousands
upon thousands of miles beyond the
whole life of an ordinary motor.
You are free from the delays,
annoyances and expenses of having
your car laid up in a repair shop
waiting to have the carbon cleaned
out and the valves ground.
End those troubles at once and
forever by getting a sleeve valve

WASHINGTON. May 22. "Do not

avoid service in the new National

Marshal-General Crowder, in an offi
cial guide he has issued to show bow
questions put to those who register on
June 5 should be answered. The guide
explains that there is no desire by the
Government to draft anyone who la the
sole support of any man. woman or
child, but points out that "unless the
person you have in mind Is solely de
pendent on you," exemption would not
be granted.
The registrar will drop permanently
from the list those which physical de
fects such as the absence of a leg or an
arm make unfitness for service ob
vious, but all other claims for exemp
tion will be passed upon by the local
boards.
The applicant will be required to
state specifically the character of the
work ' he is performing in order that
the Board may Judge if it is such aa
to warrant the Government excusing
him from army duty.
"If you are a felon or otherwise mor
ally deficient and desire to claim ex
emption on that ground, state your
ground briefly, says the guide.
The difference between a "natural
born" citizen and a naturalised citizen
is explained carefully and it is pointed
out that even alien enemies within the
age limit w.--. be required to register
although they will not be drafted.

the gleaning of the wounded men at
