Day
Initial Commencement of Cathlam-
Commanders Add Their Plea, Warn
ing Troops of Danger to New
liberty If Early Attack Is
Not Made on Germans.
PETKOGRAD, May 27. via London,
May 28. Virtually all the divergent
political factions, all class organiza
tions, councils and even the Socialist
leaders, with the exception of the ex
treme letters, today re-echo the ap
peal of Minister of War Kerensky to
the troops and applaud the new order
of the day. "advance." It remains to
be seen how the army Itself will re
ceive this final exhortation to patriot
Ism and the defense of Russia's newly
.won freedom.
Constant efforts have been made
fluring the past two months by rep
resentatives, not only of the govern
ment, but of the soldiers, to bring
home to the army that the abandon
ment of active warfare would not only
mean treachery to the allies, but the
inevitable loss of all that has been
pained In the revolution. It is con
fidently believed that this last call,
supported as it Is by almost every
element of society, will move the army
to a realization of the situation.
Commanders Add Appeals.
All the commanders have added their
appeals to the order of Minister Keren
sky. They all emphasize the necessity
of not only defending- the country
against the enemy, but of an immediate
advance to relieve the pressure upon
the allies, which Germany has been
able to exert by transf erring the bulk
of her troops from the eastern to the
western front.
General Alexieff says tersely:
"Forward! Advance to attack the
enemy."
General Brusslloff says:
"It is necessary to conserve and con
solidate freedom. The soldiers must
overthrow and defeat the enemy. Shame
and dishonor to those who have a weak
spirit." General Dragomiroff is less
laconic.
"An advance upon the enemy," he
says, "is an immediate necessity. The
enemy is ' taking advantage of our
passivity to leave this front open and
send forces westward. The French and
British are honestly doing their duty
as our allies. They are saving our
new freedom, which otherwise we
would lose. But soon their advance
must wear itself out and then there
will be no one to help us."
Premier Gives Warnlngr.
The newspapers contain similar ap
peals from the heads of the govern
ment. Premier Lvoff writes:
"Honor demands our activity. "We
are drowned in speeches and words.
The muscles of our organism are being
atrophied. Further passivity will
mean ruin. M. Skobeleff. the Socialist
Minister of - Labor, joins the chorus
with the declaration:
"Our present task Is to advance."
In a new order to the army. General
Alexieff explained yesterday why it is
Impossible for the soldiers to receive
emissaries from the German lines
seeking peace conferences.
"Even the commander in chief." he
says, "is prohibited by law from re
ceiving peace delegates and every man
from the commander down who does
this is a traitor. Only the government
knows when it is time to stop the war.
Such conferences never take place at
the front except between authorized
diplomats. The Germans know this
and send representatives only to learn
the disposition of our troops and to
provoke dissension among us. to create
ill feeling Detween me boiuibib hu
their commanders.
"I appeal to your Intelligence and
your heart. If the enemy really wanted
peace he would know how to go about
it. Wake up! Peace will be reached
through victory. Trust your com
manders." COURT DEFENDS CHINESE

DiaeonnttnB Testimony Because of
Defendant's- Color Is Criticised
From Federal Bench.
BAN FRANCISCO, May 28. Disappro
val of the view about Chinese held by
United States District Judge Benjamin
R. Bledsoe, of Los Angeles, was voiced
in an opinion handed down here today
by the United States District Court of
Appeals through Judge Erskine M.
Ross. A Chinese whom Judge Bledsoe
had ordered deported was ordered set
at liberty by the higher court.
In the case of Yee Chung, Judge
Bledsoe, according to the record, said:
"I am free to admit that with me
there is always a good deal of dubious
ness about the testimony of Chinamen
In any case. My experience has shown
that many of them have little. If any,
regard for an oath administered to
them In our courts of justice."
On this point Judge Ross wrote:
"The court is unable to approve the
views thus expressed. A court is not
at liberty arbitrarily and without rea
son to reject or discount the testimony
of a witness on the ground that he is
a Chinese, an Indian, a negro or a
white man. All people, without regard
to religion, race, color, creed or coun
try, rich or poor, stand equal before the
law."
Yee was arrested July 14, 1914, in
Los Angeles. He claimed American
birth.

Serious Situation Cited In Re
ply to . Lloyd George.
AMSTERDAM, via London. May 28.
The speech of Premier Lloyd George
last week in which he said German
submarines were beingr combated suc
cessfully and that England could not
be starved by the submarine campaign
la characterized as '"only empty words"
In a semi-official German reply.
'Facts are lacking:." says the reply,
"because our navy has found little
trace of the new methods whereby,
according to the views of the enemy,
the submarine danger can be met.
Hitherto all enemy experts have agreed
(hat with the present means they are
powerless against the serious dangers
occasioned by submarines. A change in
technical methods cannot be achieved
in a fortnight. We calmly await Lloyd
George's prediction as to -the future."
