"A blood and Iron policy" will b t put Into effect, if needed, to save Ku sia. by the govern ment of Premier ICerenskj", to which unlimited power has been granted. In an interview today the Premier aaid: Tidying upon the confidence of the masses and the army, the government will pave ltussia and. Russian unity by blood and iron, if argument and rea son, honor and conscience are not suf ficient. "The situation at the front Is very serious and demands Jierolc measures. 3?ut I am convinced the organism of the "state is sufficiently vigorous to lie . cured without a .partial amputa tion." Premier Kerensky, m ho gave the in terview to the Associated Press, an nounced that he would return to the front when the constitution of his government Lad been completed. lie continued: "The first problem: of the present moment which is exceptionally heroic is the concentration, and unison of power. The desertion of the Constitu tional Democratic memttrs of the Prince Lvoff government, which deser tion Id the cause of i he recent revolt, Fhowa how strong ar3 the centrifugal forces and liow small is the sum of our political consciousness;. But I am con vinced that misfortunes through which we are going will awaken the con science and sense of duty in our nation. i 'unci it Ion in Arm T Serious. "The new government's fundamental task is the defense of tfc.e- country from ruin and anarchy. In this we rely upon the masses of the people and the army. My government will save Russia, and if its motives of reason, honor and con science prove insufficient. It will bear her into unity with blood and Iron. "So one will dare take advantage of the present situation tn order to at tempt to restore the old regime. I find ridiculous the talk about a coming counter revolution under my leadership. "The new- government must imme diately stop the retreat and the eco nomic dissolution and restore the) coun try's finances. We expect Russia to forget her personal interests and to have in mind only the highest interests, of the country." Regarding conditions on the, front. Premier Kerensky said: "The position of our army Is serious, requiring heroic measures. But we must not despair. The old regime and certain extremist elements, brought much poison into the arms and body. Now the ulcer is cut, and as the state organism is healthier, I am convinced we shall avoid amputation. New Cabinet Complete.

The -Supreme Court today in the case of W. B. Bethune vs. George R. Funk, as City Auditor of Portland, and against the Mayor and Commissioners of Port land, holds that the election of June 4 was a general and not a special elec tion, and that consequently the election officers of Multnomah County are en titled to their pay only from Multno mah County and not from the city of Portland.

The court today in the case of the state vs. G. Hoffman, appealed from Multnomah County, held that an order returning intoxicating liquor to a de fendant who has been acquitted of a charge of maintaining a nuisance is without Jurisdiction and therefore void.

Secretary of College Board Says Too Many Sucli Schools Exist and Difference Between Religions Too Slight to Quibble. EVGENE, Or.. July 24. (Special.) The passing of Albany College was forecast at the afternoon session of the Oregon Presbyterian Synod here today, although a final vote on a pro posal to consolidate the Institution with the Congregational College at Forest Grove was delayed until tomor row afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, when it will come up as a special order of business. The first blow to the Albany Insti tution came when Dr. Calvin H. French, of New York, secretary of the College Board of the Presbyterian General As sembly, announced that the college board would not spend another cent at Albany and recommended the consoli dation of the Albany school with the Forest Grove school as the only way to get any salvage out of the situation. He quoted figures compiled by his or ganization to show that the State of Oregon is overcrowded with church col leges. Committee Favor Merger. Dr. French's statement was followed by a majority report of the Synod committee on merger, which favored the consolidation tind the removal of the Albany institution to Forest Grove. A minority report opposing the merger was signed by a single member of the committee, O. C Bryant, of Albany. The majority report was read by Rev. Carl H. Elliott, of Salem. Tho other members of the committee were: Rev. John M. Skinner, of Portland: Rev. J. I Iandsborough, of Oregon City; Wil liam McLeod. of Portland; Earl C Bronaugh. of Portland, and John Straub. of Eugene. Mr. Elliott declared that In the opin ion of the members of the committee the doctrines of the Presbyterian and Congregational churjies are so nearly alike that the consolidation should not be opposed for denominational reasons. He offered In evidence copies of Sun day School papers on which the lessons and reading matter were almost the same, but the heading of one read "Congregational" and the other "Pres byterian." He said that if the two churches could feed the same doctrines to the boys and girls in the Sunday school, the committee did not believe that it would be harmful to educate Presbyterian and Congregational young people in the same school. Endowments Sticking Point. C. C. Bryant, presenting the minority report, asserted that the consolidation of the two schools would result in much litigation and that Albany Col lege, if the merger was voted, would not be able to hold its endowments. Rev. Wallace Howe Lee, president of Albany College, who has been identi fied with that institution for 33 years, excepting at short intervals, made an impassioned plea for the retention of the school. He declared that Forest Grove College had permitted a Unitari an minister to address a graduating class and that the Presbyterian Church could not afford to support a college that had anything to do with the Uni tarians. He asserted that the synod could not carry off the ground on which Albany College stands, or its endowments, and the only things that the merger would mean would be to take the debts of the institution to Forest Grove. He insisted if the in tention is to kill off the Albany Col lege it should be done without consoli dation with the Congregationalists Dr. French, of the general assembly college board, suggested that by con solidating the two Institutions and making one Institution of greater strength, financial aid could be ob tallied from Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations. President Lee, in reply. Insisted that the action of the synod should not be Influenced by financial considerations. Rev. C. H. Hayes, of Portland, moved that final action on the report of the merger committee be delayed until to morrow at 1:30 o'clock, following the report of 'the committee on education and colleges. His motion was adopted, Yes, We're Develop ing Rapidly these: DAYS FIVE. HOIK. SERVICE, and no charge when prints are ordered.
