"The proc ess of the change from slavery to freedom is not going on prop erly. We have tasted freedom and are intoxicated, but what we need is sobriety and discipline." The Minister of Justice, . who had theretofore made only opti mistic and reassuring declara tions, confessed that his confi dence had left him and he feared national ruin. STOCKHOLM, Nov. 10. Helsingfors, Capital of Finland, has been entered by the Germans, according to a press dis patch from Haparanda. - - COPENHAGEN', Nov. 10. German troops landed Thursday on the Island of Aland, In the Baltic Sea, and occu pied the greater part of the island group, according to a dispatch from Uleaborg to the Stockholm Nya Dagligt Allehanda. LONDON. Nov. 10. There Is no of ficial confirmation here of the Stock holm report that the Germans had en tered Helsingfors. Helsingfors, a city of nearly 100,000 population before the war, on the Gulf of Finland, nearly opposite Reval, on the Esthonian- side of the gulf, and Is connected by railroad with Petrograd, from which it Is about 190 miles' dis tant in an airline. There have been indications for some time that Germany's eyes were turned upon Finland with the object of taking advantage of the movement there for Independence from Russia to advance German interests politically In Finland as well as to deliver a stroke at Rus sia's fragile line of communication with the west through Finnish and Swedish territory. CABIXET MAKKCP '' DISCUSSED Russians in Jfew York Identify Sev eral of Sew Leaders. NEW YORK. Nov. 10. Five mem bers of the new Bolshevikl Cabinet an nounced in Petrograd dispatches were recognised, in addition to Lenine and Trotzky, here today in Russian circles, as probably men who have been promi nent radicals in Russia. Some of them were thought to have spent some time In this city, as Trotzky Is known to have done, although the absence of the men's first names make identification uncertain. At the office of Novy Mir. a Russian Socialist paper here, 1 twas said that Shlianpnikon", announced as Minister of Labor, was a well-known author and speaker who was here about a year and a half ago. He was said to have lived for a time in London, where he wrote for Russian and English papers. Lunacharsky, Minister of Educatoin, was recognized as a Social Democrat, author of many books on social ques tions. In another quarter it was said he also spent some time in New York, and, like Trotzky, was on the staff of a Russian paper here. Nogin. announced as Minitser of Commerce, was said to have been a journalist and later a soldier. Aviloff. Minister of Posts and Tele graphs, was believed to be Boris Avil off, a Social Democrat and an editor on Maxim Gorky's ppaer. New Life. A Russian by that name was once a vls itior here, being described as having been imprisoned in 1905 for promoting a revolution to obtain a new constitu tion for Russia. He asserted at the time of his visit here last March that there had been a plot in Russian court circles to bring about a separate peace with Germany. Aviloff's visit here was to purchase munitions and agricultural machinery. Dzhugashvill was said to be a Geor gian from the Caucasus, known as a Social Democrat also. Kryllnko. named on the . committee on war and marine, was not recognized here, but a man by that name had been previously mentioned as an ensign in dispatches as member of the central executive committee of the Council of workers", and Soldiers" Delegates. He was arrested by the military authori ties at Kiev charged with circulating Maximalist propagande in the eleventh army. RUSSIAX ARJir OUT OF AVAR German Press Believes One Obstacle to Power Is Removed. ' COPENHAGEN. No. 10 The first German newspapers containing com- ACTRESS TELLS SECRET 'A Well-Known Actress Tells How She Darkened Her Gray Hair With a I Simple Home-Made Mixture. Miss Blanche Rose, a well-known actress, who darkened her gray hair with a simple preparation which she mixed at home, in a recent interview at Chicago, 111., made the following statement: "Any lady or gentleman tan darken their gray hair and make It soft and glossy with this simple recipe, which they can mix at home. To a half pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum. a small box of Barbo Com pound, and ?4 ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a week until it becomes the required shade. This will make a gray haired person look SO years younger. It makes the hair soft and glossy, la not sticky of greasy and does not rub off. Adr ment on- the Russian coup to arrive here, made no attempt to Jump at con clusions or to predict speedy peace with Russia. On the other hand, the impres sion prevails that the Maximalists may be compelled to follow much the same policy as the Kerenekyveglme as soon as they find that a non-annexation peace Is not to be attained early by proclaiming their readiness to con clude such a peace. Several newspapers allude to the fact that the declared policy of the maxi molists is for a general peace, not a separate one, and this on the basis of no annexations. It is generally as sumed, however, that the developments at Petrograd spell the end of the Rus sian army as an offensive factor in the present war. and remove the lost pos sibility that it will be constituted as an effective military force or prove a serious obstacle to Germany military Plans. XO AMERICAN'S ARE HARMED Ambassador's Delayed Dispatches Received In Washington. WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. The first reports from American" Ambassador Francis on the upheaval In Russia ar rived today. They were filed Novem ber 7 and November 8 and said that up to that time all the Ministers of the provisional government except Keren sky had been arrested. American representatives of the Red Cross in Petrograd were all safe and no mention of any harm befalling any other Americans was made. Although the city was quiet when the Ambassador sent his report, he indicated that it was then too early tt secure a definite- idea of conditions, es pecially outside of the capital. emu the situation has been more clearly defined there will continue a practical suspension, of official rela tions with Russia. Tt was explained that to continue negotiations now was Impossible because it is not known just who is in power in the different depart ments. To obtain Information from the coun try beyond Petrograd, Mr. Francis re ported, was next to Impossible because the wires .were all in control of the Bolshevikl. The possibility that -the stream of American supplies to Russia may be checked until the internal situation clarifies and it is disclosed to whom the aid is going, was on of the out standing features of the Russian situa tion as it concerned the United States today.. Officials who have the sub ject in charge were silent when asked if supplies were still going forward. The Russian Embassy in Washington announced this afternoon it would re fuse to accept, the authority for the Maximalist government. NEW DRAFT PLAN IS OUT (Continued From Flrt Page.) selected for duty with the colors the place in the military, industrial or agri cultural ranks of the Nation in which his experience and training can best be made to serve the common good. ThiB project involves an' inquiry by the se lection boards into the industrial and educational qualifications of nearly 10. 000,000 men. Further Sacrifice Urged. "Members of these boards have rend ered a conspicuous service. The work was done without regard to personal convenience and under a pressure of immediate necessity which imposed great sacrifices. Yet the services of men trained by the experince of the first draft must of necessity be retained and the selection- boards mutt provide the directing mechanism f.or the new classification. ' The thing -they have done is of scarcely one-tenth the mag nitude of the thing that remains to be done. It is of great importance, both to our military and to our economic in terests, that the classification be car ried swiftly and .accurately to a con clusion. An-estimate of the time neces sary for the work leads to the conclu sion, that it can be accomplished in 60 days, but only if this great marshaling of our resources of- men is regarded by all as a National war undertaking of such significance as to challenge the at tentionand compel the assistance of every American. "I call upon all citizens therefore to assist loca land district boards by proffering such service and such mate rial conveniences as they can offer and by appearing before the boards, either upon summons or upon their own ini tiative, to give such information as will be useful in classifying registrants. I urge men of the legal profession to offer themselves as associate members the legal advisory boards to be pro vided in each community fo rthe pur pose of advising registrants of their rights and obligations and of assisting them in the preparation of their an swers to the questions which all men subject to. the draft are required to submit. Call Made for Physicians. "I ask the doctors of the country to identify themselves with the medical advisory boards, which are to be con stituted in the various districts throughout the United States for the prupose of making a systematic physi ca lexamination of the registrants. "It is important also that -police of ficials of every grade and class should be informed of their duty under the selective service law and regulations, to search persons who do not respond promptly and to serve the summons of local and district boards. "Newspapers can be of very great assistance in giving wide publicity to the requirements of the law and regu lations and to the numbers and names of those who are called to present themselves to their local boards from day to day. - "Finally, I ask that during the' time hereafter to be specified as marking the- 60-period of the classification, all citizens give attention to the task in hand, in order that the procehss may proceed to a conclusion with swiftness and yet with even and considerate justice to all."

WAR'S BRIGHT SPOTS TOLD Movement for Greater Unity of Con trol by Allies and Decline of Sub . marine Menace Announced at Lord Mayor's Banquet. LONDON, Nov. 10. Andrew Bonar Law, Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking at the Lord Mayor's banquet last night, said it was impossible to tell what would happen in Russia. "But with the scale on the side of justice, of civilization and humanity," he added, "there has been thrown the weight of the sword of a people with natural resources greater than those of any other nation in the world the United States of America. "We relied upon their help, not mere ly because of these resources, but be cause of the character of the people. Americans do not do things by halves: they have put their hands to the plow ana win not turn back. Dealing with Russia, the Chancellor said: "We all rejoiced at the prospect of the advent of liberty in that country a liberty which, as we hoped, would have freedom and Justice as her com panion, and would leave prosperity and plenty in her train. The future of Russia today is a sealed book. But we need not despair. The Russians are a great people, and no nation has won or preserved freedom which was not pre pared to fight for it." The Chancellor said the output of guns last month was twice that of October of last year, and said the am munition fired during one month of this year's offensive was twice that fired during the same period of last year. There had never been such an example of organization as the Min. istry of Munitions, and the country could look forward to the future with hope and complete confidence, he said. The enemy had secured certain mili tary advantages, he continued, because the same unity of control did not exist among the allies as among the central powers, but In the future the whole front from the British Channel to the Adriatic would be treated as one front. No one would underestimate the seri ousness of the attack on Italy, but the Chancellor hoped and believed that the Italian army would be able to hold' the enemy until help arrived. Earl Curzon, member of the War Cabinet, in offering a toast to the allies, said that unless the spirit of German militarism and arrogance was destroyed, the greatest disaster the world has ever Been would follow. He declared that the most notable event of the last year had been the entry of the United States into the war. "Whatever can be accomplished by the resources of that vast continent. by the spirit and ardor of her people and by the cool, calm and inflexible resolve of President Wilson will be contributed." Sir Erie Geddes. speaking for the navy, said that the submarine losses, although they were steadily being re duced, were still heavy. The submarine campaign, in his opinion, would be de feated. FLEET BODY SHAKEN UP (Continued from First Page.) was too much Navy method and not enough practical business sense applied to the building of ships; that there was an utter lack of harmony between ship builders and the Shipping Board; they found an excess of red tape; they found Admiral Capps surrounded by lesser Naval officers as his aides, officers not trained for the task they had assumed and not temperamentally fitted to deal with business, men and shipbuilders; they found many instances of gross in competency and utter lack of intelli gent and wise direction. These men, having pointed out the defects, are rewarded now by appoint ment to positions where they take over me direct responsibility for rushing through the shipbuilding nrocrrnmm And having discovered the faults of tneir predecessors, they have promised to remedy the defects and at last to speed up construction. Southern Lumbermen Blamed. Until today it was assured that some progress was being made with wooden ship construction oil the Atlantic Coast. Now It is disclosed that most of the wooden ship contracts let to Atlantic Coast yards are practically where they were at the time of award, for these shipbuilders have not hn able to get keel lumber. Therefore they have not been able to make a start. At the outset Southern lumber men, with a strong pull at Washington, took contracts to furnish yellow pine timbers to all wood shipyards on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. They named their own price, $35 a thousand, and have since had that raised to $40, but they have not yet begun the delivery of the keel timbers, on which all wood shipbuilding is founded, hence wooden ship construction on the Atlantic "I Should Worry Now About Corns!"

Southern mills . have flooded ship yards with deck "timbers, with plank ing, with interior finish and such stuff, but have neglected, after seven months, to furnish the keels, even after ship plana had been modified to permit the use of smaller keel and. keelson tim bers. Korikwot Mills Profit. Mr. Heyworth and his asociates quickly concluded that Southern mills never can turn out these big timbers, and announced today that big timbers for all wooden ships to be built by the Government, whether on Atlantic or Gulf coasts, will be procured from Oregon and Washington. When he gets down to work next week, Mr. Heyworth will determine the number and sizes of big timbers necessary to supply the immediate needs of Eastern shipyards; he will confer with the lumber committee of the Council of National Defense, and with the Douglas Fir Emergency Board and fix a price to be paid for these timbers, and will arrange with the priority committee of the coun cil to provide cars for speeding these timbers cross the continent. Rush or ders then will be placed with lumber mills in both Oregon and Washington. At present no definite estimate has been made of the amount of fir that will be ordered from the Pacific Coast, nor has any tentative price been de termined upon. More Wood Ship Contracts to Be Let. Wood shipbuilders of the Pacific Coast are assured that they will feel benefits resulting from the reorganiza tion, quite as much as the West Coast lumbermen. It was at the special re quest of wood shipbuilders that one man was chosen to take jurisdiction over that part of the Shipping Board's duties, and that man is familiar with all the past complaints against the Capps Navy regime. The prospect now seems favorable that more wood ship contracts will be awarded, for while it is today admitted that the- shipbuilding Is way behind schedule, largely be cause of lack of competent business di rection, it is also stated that the Board adheres to its determination to turn Out 6.000,000 tons of shipping by the end of next year. This means that present contracts must be speeded up, and that additional contracts must be awarded. One of the first effects of the re organization, it is expected, will be the awarding of contracts to numerous yards which have been vainly trying for two, three and four months to get some sort of definite -action on their proposals that have been reposing on Admiral Capps desk. New Men Know Their Work.' Government ship construction, from this time forward, is in the hands of Chicago men; Chairman Hurley is from Chicago, and his new assistants all hall from that , city, and were selected by him because he knows them; knows their -work, and has confidence that they are Dig enough and broad enough for the Jobs to which . they have been as signed. - Whether the reorganization will ex tend to the field service of the Ship ping Board will depend upon the men who go intoiofTice Monday.

McCarthy presented a claim aleglne that a wife and child were dependent on him. Testimony indicated that the wife has been separated from his nearly two years, is working to sup port herself in Washington state and had not received communications or money from McCarthy. Federal au thorities, it is said, were tipped off to most of these facts by the wife when the husband had a relative send her his exemption claim for signature, ac companying it with the lepresentation that by signing the document for him she would "receive a lot of insurance money."
