THE 3IOKXIXG OREGOXIAX. SATURDAY, JUXE SO, 1917. A. 1' Si P; i i a c 4 i t i i t i 3 I c Si 200 OFFER LIVES TO Sailors Ready to Die to Put Fighting Spirit in Army and Are Sent to Battle. GENERAL SCOTT AT FRONT American Commission Visits General Brnssiloff and Military Mem bers Go on Brief Tour of Battlefront. fETROGEAD, June 28. Two hun dred sailors from the Baltic fleet have appeared at Riga to join the army and lead in an attack upon the enemy, according- to the Russkaya Volia. Their action, says the newspaper, was taken as the result of a decision by an army officer that if "200 brave men willing to die for their country could be found the whole army would fight." A fortnight ago a deputation from the fleet visited Riga, -heard this of ficer's assertion and repeated it upon returning to Helsingfors. Midshipman Steurmer, of a torpedo boat, crew, declared he would accept the challenge and proceeded to recruit the required number of heroes, who in due course were dispatched to Riga under command of Midshipman Simon ovsky. Yesterday the men went to the front. PETROGRAD, June 29. Elihu Root, head of the American commission, and Foreign Minister Tereschtenko re turned to Petrograd yesterday after a brief visit to staff headquarters, where they were welcomed by General Brus siloff in the name of the Russian army, which, declared the commander-in-chief, would continue with all the powers at , its disposal, not only to fight for Its own cause that of for tifying liberty recently acquired but at the same time hand in hand with America, to fight for the right of all nations to shape their destinies in ac cordance with their own desires. There was little in the small conn' try town of Mohilev to correspond with a conventional view of a general -tafl headquarters. The atmosphere of for mality, secrecy and dignity which dis tinguished It when it was the home of Emperor Nicholas had departed since the revolution. There is nothing left to arret the attention of the observer except the Emperor's residence, which is. now used by General Brussiloff, and the military hotel, where members of the staff are quartered. Otherwise it is a peaceful village nestling on the bank of the Dnieper, 200 miles from the firing line. Only small groups of soldiers were present to watch the imperial train carrying the commission draw into the station. Despite the fact that the train, which was such a common sight in imperial days, had not been seen in Mohilev since the abdication of the Emperor, it evoked little curiosity. A few soldiers, thinking they might find accommodations therein, crowded oil board, but' when they were told that it was being used by the Ameri can mission, they immediately dis persed. Wednesday noon the commission lunched with General Brussiloff and soon thereafter Major-General Scott and aides, military members of the commission, escorted by Russian gen eral staff officers, departed for Kiev. After a short tour- of the southwest ern front, Major-General Scott will go to Roumania and will greet the King and Queen in the name of the com mission and the American Government. The news of the intention of the United States to send a Red Cross mission to Russia figures in yester day morning's papers. It evoked hearty appreciation in army and medical circles, especially at '.he headquarters of the Russian Red Cross. RUSSIA TO. APPORTION LAXD Women Probably Will Be Allowed to Vote in 'ew Republic. "WASHINGTON, June 29. A Russian republic was forecast today by mem bers of the Russian Mission in discuss ing problems facing that country. The constituent assembly, which is expect ed to open on September 30, will have in its hands the building of the whole new political structure of Russia. When the new assembly meets the provisional government will pass out of existence and the executive power of the nation during the convention period probably will be delegated either to the government revived or to a special committee. The assembly will decide finally on the form of government, both federal and local, with the fundamental laws, the rights of citizeris and of nationali ties, and the methods of taxation and election. It is expected also to discuss fully the land question, so as to destroy the abuse of large holdings by apportion ing the land more equitably among those who till it, to arrange a new system of taxation with proportionally heavy taxes on the rich and lifting the enormous taxes from the poor and act on general social relations between la bor, capital, agriculture and the like. The assembly will consist of not more than SOU members, chosen on uni versal direct, secret, equal suffrage, including women, as outlined recently by Prince Lvoff. head of the provi sional government. GOOD JOBS ARE WAITING Stenographers and Typewriters Xeeded by Government. The United States Civil Service Com mission announces that, as a sufficient number of men and women stenogra -phrs will rot hf secured from the ex New Corn Remover Causes Big Run on Drug Stores Since the virtues of Ice-Mint as a corn remover became known in this country, druggists have been having an extraordinary demand for this prod uct and it is predicted that women will wear smaller and prettier shoes than The fact that this new discovery which is made from a Japanese prod uct will actually remove corns roots .-ind all and without the slightest pain or soreness, is of course mainly respon sible for its large and increasing sale. - You apply a little on a tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is re lieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled that it may be lifted out with the fin gers root and all. It is a clean, creamy. snow-white. non-poisonous substance and will never inflame or ir ritate the most tender skin. Cutting or paring corns too' often produces blood -poisoning and people are warned to stop it. Just ask in any drug store for a small Jar of Ice-Mint and you can "quickly end your corn misery and make your feet feel cool and fine. There is nothing better. Adv. AWAKEN RUSSIA amination June 30. 1917, to meet the needs of the public service, an exami nation -has been announced to be held at 40 of the principal cities in the Northwest July 7. Men typewriters without a knowl edge of stenography are desired, espe cially in connection with the Quarter master Corps, U. 8. Army, at an en trance Falary of $1000 per year.

Arrangements will be made by the district secretary to examine all per sons who write to him, subject to the subsequent filing and approval of ap plications, provided the request is re ceived at Seattle in sufficient time to arrange for examination at the place nearest to the applicant's residence where the examination will be held. Inquiries concerning- the' July 7 ex amination should be addressed to Her bert F. Ward, Secretary Eleventh Civil Service District, room 303 Postoffice building", Seattle, Wash. WAII NEXT TO BE DRY ILLICIT SALES OF LlfttOR. MADE TO SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. Commander of Hawaiian Department Ailu Washington to Prepare Regulations. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) HONOLULU. T. H., June 24. Hawaii is expected in the Immediate future to join the list of states and territories in the "dry" column, according to statements today by Federal and terri torial authorities. Brigadier - General Frederick B. Strong, commander of the Hawaiian Department, United States Army, has cabled to the War Department at Washington, asking that the sale of liquor on the Island of Oahu be pro hibited on the ground that illicit sales are being made to soldiers and sailors in uniform, in contravention of the pro visions of the selective draft act. To day he received a cablegram from the War Department stating that regula tions were being drawn up in Wash ington covering the situation. Honolulu is already virtually under martial law, so far as the sale of liquor to soldiers is concerned. Although the saloons are permitted to sell liquor to civilians, armed guards of the military provost guard are stationed constantly at night in front of many of the cheap er class of lodging-houses and hotels patronized by soldiers, on account of the fact that, although the saloons re fuse to sell to men in uniform, pur chases are being made by civilians who turn the liquor over to soldiers. Already many arrests of civilians ac cused of such illegal transactions have taken place, and a large number are held in jail or under bond, awaiting the action of the grand jury, having been held by the United States Com missioner. SOCIALISTS GAIN LITTLE CONFERENCE, SAYS SCHEIDEMAXX, DID NOT BRING DESIRED RESULTS. Russian Socialists Informed There Is No Possibility of Revolution In Germany During: Wur. COPENHAGEN, June 29. In report ing to-the National Committee of the German Socialist party what had been accomplished by the preliminary con ferences - of - Socialists at Stockholm, Philipp Scheidemann said the delibera tions had not produced the desired re sults, although the outcome had been better than many persons expected. .Herr Scheidemann said he was able to undeceive the Russian Socialists in regard to the possibility of a revolu tion in Germany and explain to them such a thing was impossible during the war, because all Germans were united in the determination to defend themselves. - The possibility of revolu tionary movement afterward depended on the outcome of the war and whether a grant of democratic rights should be made. Herr Scheidemann criticised the gov ernment "for its overtures for a sepa rate peace with Russia, sayings a new and more favorable bargain was of fered every week, and for its failure to come out in the open with proposals for a general peace. He gave as a slo gan for the party's future work: "For peace, bread and liberty." PRIVATE BANK CLOSES GRAHAM A SON, OF CHICAGO, FAIL TO MEET OBLIGATIONS. Doors Are Broken Down by Detecttves, Who Seize Books Petition In Bankruptcy Follows. CHICAGO, June 29. The private banking firm of Graham & Son, the deposits of which have been esti mated at from 3,000,000 to Jo, 000,000 and which held an important place in the financial and industrial affairs of the West Side, elosed Its doors today. An Involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed an hour later after 15 detect ives, directed by an assistant state's attorney, broke down the rear doors of the bank with crowbars and seized all of the bank s records. The bank was founded by Andrew Graham, for many years prominent in Illinois politics. He died a year ago. since when his sons, Ralph and Frank, have been in charge of the business. The bankruptcy petitions stated the Grahams had admitted today that they were unable to meet their financial obligations and were willing to have their affairs settled by a bankruptcy court. Frank Graham said the bank was perfectly solvent and attributed to de mands for war contributions a short age in currency.

PEACE -MUST WAIT ON PRUSSIA'S FALL Lloyd George Declares Allies Will Fight on Until Last Objective Is Attained. GUARANTY IS REQUIRED Xations Long Under Heel of Despots Will Be Freed and Indemnities Demanded to Repair Wrongs Suffered From Germans. GLASGOW, June 19. Premier Lloyd George, speaking at Glasgow today on the question of peace, said that In nis Judgment the war would come to an end when the entente armies naa reached the aim which they had set out to attain when they accepted Germany's challenge. If the war ended a single minute before, he said, it would be the greatest disaster In the historj of mankind. Great Britain, said Mr. Lloyd George, could hold out if Germany's submarine war was kept in bounds and the people practiced frugality. The public enthusiasm was tempered by unfriendly demonstrations, for Mr. Lloyd George had previously incurred the hostility of some sections of the Glasgow laborers in his dealings with them while Minister of Munitions. Malcontents Hushed by Cheers. A crowd of malcontents gathered outside the hall and sang "Red Flag." but the cheers of the friendly majority drowned their demonstration.. The Premier said: "In my judgment the war will come to an end when the allied armies have reached the aims which they set out to attain when they accepted the chal lenge thrown down by Germany. As soon as these objectives have been reached and guaranteed this war will come to an end, but If the war comes to an end a single minute before it will be the greatest disaster that has ever befallen mankind. Peace Can Be Had Now. "No doubt we can have peace now at a price. Germany wants peace even Prussia ardently desires it. They should give us some indemnity for the wrongs they have done, just a little territory here and a little there and just a few privileges in other direc tions and we will clear out. We are told that if we are prepared to make peace now Germany -will restore the independence of Belgium. But who has said so? "No German statesman has ever said he would restore the independence of Belgium. The German Chancellor came very near to it, but all the junkers fell on him and he received a sound box on the ears from the mailed fist. "The only terms on which Germany has suggested restoring Belgium are not those of Independence, but of vas salage. Then came the doctrine of the status quo and no annexation and no Indemnities. No German statesman has suggested even that. Colonies Not Ambition. "But what did indemnity mean? In demnity is an essential part of the mechanism of civilization In every land and clime. Otherwise what guar antee have we against a repetition? Then it is said 'That is not what you are after. You are after our colonies and probably Palestine and Mesopo tamia.' If we had entered into this war purely for the German colonies, we would not have raised an army f three millions or four millions. We would have got them without adding a single battalion to the army. "Our greatest army Is In France. We are there to recover for the peo ple who have been driven out their patrimony, the land which belonged to them. As to Mesopotamia, it is not and never has been Turkish. You have only to read the terrible reports to see what a wilderness the Turks have made of the Garden of Eden. "What is to happen to Mesopotamia must be left to the peace conferen e, and there is one thing that will never happen to it. It will never be re stored to the blasting tyranny of the Turks. Armenia Also to Be Freed. "The same observation applies to Armenia. As to the German colonies, that again is a matter which must be settled by the great international peace conference. 'When we come t settle who must be the future trustees of those uncivi lized lands, we must take into account the sentiments of the peoples them selves and whether they are anxious to secure the return of their former masters or whether they would rather trust their destinies to other and juster and gentler hands. "The wishes, desires and Interests of the peoples themselves of all those countries must be the dominant fac tor In settling their future government. Military Power Is Doomed. "Peace must be framed on so equit able a basis that the nations would not wish to disturb it. It must be guar anteed by destruction of Prussian mil itary power, so that the confidence of the German people shall be put in the equity of their cause and not In the might of their armies. A better guar antee than either would be democrati zation of the German government. "No one wishes to dictate to the German people the form of government under which they should choose to live. But it is right we should say that we will enter into negotiations with a free government of Germany with a different attitude of mind and a different temper and different spirit and with less suspicion and more con fidence than we should with a govern meat with whom we feel today to be dominated by the aggressive and ar rogant spirit of Prussian militarism. Russia Fights for Freedom. "All the allied governments will. In my judgment, be acting wisely if they draw that distinction- in their general attitude toward the discussion of peace terms." Speaking of Russia, the Premier added, there were many hearts filled with gloomy anxiety, contemplating the prospect of a peace conference to settle the' future of democracy with representatives present of the most re actionary autocracy in the world. But now Russia is unshackled . and free and her representatives at the peace conference would be representa tive of a free people fighting for free dom and arranging a future democ racy on the lines of freedom. Not merely would - the Russian revolution insure a more complete, but a higher, more exalted victory than ever was contemplated. PRESIDENT STOPS DEBATE (Continued From First Page.) be In the public interest in this ver.v critical matter if the friends of those provisions should consent to their elim ination from the present measure. "Feeling that your . committee is actuated by. the same patriotic motives which inspire me. I am confident that these considerations will seem to you. as they seem to me, to bo Imperative." Anti-Saloon League representatives tonight replied that , while "recogniz ing the force of any appeal from the President and commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy in time of war." a definite answer would be deferred un til after conference with prohibition leaders in the Senate and House. Informal agreement, however, was reached by the prohibition forces in the Senate for virtual abandonment of the fight to include beer and wines in the liquor legislation. Their future efforts probably will be directed to obtain an amendment authorizing the Presi dent to suspend manufacture of malt, fermented and vinous beverages in his discretion. - Powers Would Be -Accepted. President Wilson told Senators with whom he conferred that as a com promise and to get action upon the food control legislation he would be willing to have Congress clothe him with such authority. Tonight the so-called dry leaders In Congress conferred and it was expected that tomorrow there would be evolved a definite plan of action. The prohibi tion leaders admitted that the Presi dent's actio! eliminated beer and wines fr-im the programme. Before the Presi dent acted the Senate -had been evenly divided on the question of beer and wines. Several Senators who were strongest for their inclusion tonight announced that they would accede to the President's wishes. Passage of the food measure early next week was confidently expected through the prospective elimination of the great contention over liquor. The general legislation will be taken up in detail tomorrow, and by Tuesday leaders expect a final vote. House leaders, active in today's conferences, predicted that body would accede to the President's desires as to beer and wines. Control of Paper Voted Down. Discussion of committee amendments was begun late today, and without a rollcall the Senate rejected an amend ment by Senator Smith, of Arizona, to add news print paper and its products to articles over which Government con trol is proposed. The. Senate added fertilizer ingre dients to the list of products over which Federal power shall extend. Senator King gave notice of a motion to strike copper from the list, while other Senators propose amendments extending control to cotton, clothing, leather and many other materials. COAL RULE TO BE RIGID DEFENSE COMMITTEE TO ENFORCE AGREEMENT. Jobbers and Retailers Are Aecnsed of Increasing Prices to Consumers TJnjnstly. WASHINGTON. June 29. Coal price reductions agreed on yesterday by the country's bituminous producers at a conference with Government officials will be strictly enforced. With the weight of the Industry's approval behind the agreement, and certain of the fact that the Government will take control if it Is not lived up to, the coal committee of the Council of National Defense will take quick measures to prevent any wavering. Today the committee warned operators at Decatur, 111., who raised their prices beyond the limit set, that the industry would not stand for their action. The price of anthracite, arranged some time ago at conferences between producers and the Trade Commission, probably will be further reduced to consumers, it was said today, through regulation of Jobbers and retailers' profits. The coal committee, the Trade Commission and Secretary Lane expect to call anthracite dealers together soon to work out a plan for furnishing cheaper coal to the householders. Under an agreement with the Trade Commission anthracite Is selling at the mine now only 30 cents higher than last year, but jobbers and retailers are adding so much to the cost, officials say. the price to the consumer is far higher than it should be.
