Bolshevik! Desert.
WASHINGTON, July 13. Military as
well as political intervention In Russia
by the United States was urged In the

Idaho, who declared that not until that
has been accomplished could a lasting
peace be made.
Speaking- In connection with the cel
ebration of Bastile day. Senator Borah
compared conditions In Russia now
with those during- the French revolu
tion. Official dispatches today brought a
remarkable appeal addressed by the
delegates of the works and factories

life of the working classes has become
Intolerable and proclaiming the Rus
sian -workmen will never recognize the
alliance concluded with Germany.
From other sources today came re
ports of constant guerilla fighting in
the Ukraine between armed peasants
and German military forces.
Allied Help Necessary.
In a prepared statement today, John
Zookine, of the Russian mission, de
clared again that only the help of the
allies could restore Russia, and charged
that Count von Mirbach, the assassin
ated German Ambassador at Moscow,
had proposed German aid for the over
throw of the Bolshevik! and a "recon
sideration of the Brest-Lltovsk treaty."
MOSCOW, July 13. via Amsterdam.
Speaking at the All-Russian Soviet
conference, now In session, Leon Troti
ky, Bolshevik Minister of War and Ma
rine, declared that he had received
news from the front that unity among
the Soviet troops had suffered as the
result of an Anglo-French propaganda.
Part of the Bolshevik force, the Min
ister, added, had "deserted to the en
emy." . NORTHAMPTON, England. July 13.
Arthur Henderson, labor leader and
member of the British War Cabinet,
speaking today at a labor conference
here, said the British Labor party last
month had succeeded in getting its
statement of war alms into the hands
of the Socialists of enemy countries
and that five replies thus far had been
received.
AMSTERDAM, July 13. The revolu
tionary movement In Moscow has not
been suppressed, according to the Kiev
correspondent of the Rhelnlsche West
faelische Zeltung of Essen.
Lettish Guards Save BoIshevlkL
The Bolshevikl are able to hold their
-own. only through assistance of Lettish
guards, he declares.
The assassination of Count von Mir
bach, the German Ambassador at Mos
cow, was ordered by the executive of
the Social Revolutionaries of the left
and was carried out in person by one
of the party's confidential agents, says
a Kiev dispatch to the Rheinlache
Westfaellsche Zeltung of Essen.
defer holiday plans to enact the tele
graph resolutlon.
Tho three-day plan was adopted be
cause of the constitutional provision
against longer recesses by either house
without the consent of the other and
also because Congress technically re
mains in session prepared for any
emergency action.
Plans for the recess were almost up
set in the Senate at the last minute by
informal objection from Senator John
son, of California, who said he believed
Congress "should stay on the Job."
Since the majority of the Senate was In
favor of the recess, however. Senator
Johnson did not withhold unanimous
consent.
At the suggestion of Senator Smith,
of Georgia, however, the agreement
was modified so as to provide that if a
quorum should be present before Au
gust 24 the agreement could be set
aside and regular business transacted
three days thereafter.
DRYS POSTPONE FIGHT
PROHIBITION LEGISLATION GOES
OVER XTXTIIm ATJGrST 2.
Some Senators Express Opinion That
President Slay Wait to
Decide Issue.
WASHINGTON, July 14. National
prohibition legislation was postponed
by Congress today until August 26 at
least.
In arranging for a midsummer vaca
tion, a formal unanimous consent agree
ment was entered Into by the Senate to
defer until August 26 further consid
eration of the $11,000,000 emergency
food production bill, containing the
amendment for "bone dry" war time
prohibition effective New Tear's day.
As a part of the agreement, however,
the prohibition advocates secured the
definite pledge that the bill shall have
right of way when the vacation recess
period of the Senate ends.
Senators on both sides of the fight
expressed complete satisfaction with
the arrangement, made after many
days' spirited negotiation. The prohi
bition advocates are confident that they
have a majority to keep In the bill some
kind of a drastio wartime provision
soon after the vacation ends.
On the other hand, the opponents are
hopeful that during the coming weeks
there may be developments to defeat or
modify the legislation.
v Some Senators heard during the day
that President Wilson may take a hand
In the fight next month. This report
said he favors a proposal to give him
the authority and discretion to deter
mine finally, under all conditions,
whether prohibition is desirable, and is
Inclined to oppose any action material
ly reducing internal revenues.

BRITISH AIRMEN DO COOD WORK
DURING PAST YEAR.
Royal Air Force Downs 3233 Boche
Machines and Naval Macalnea
Destroy Total of 623.
LONDON. July 13. In one year on the
British western front the royal air
force has accounted for 3233 enemy air
planes. In the same period the naval airmen
shot 623, a total of 3866.
An official statement dealing with
these operations says:
"The royal air force during the
year beginning July 1, 1917, on the
British western front, destroyed 2160
hostile machines and drove down out. of
control 1083. In the same period the
air force units working In conjunction
with the navy shot down 623 hostile
machines.
"During this period 1094 of our ma
chines were missing: 92 of these were
working with the navy.
"On the Italian front, from April to
June. 1918, the British destroyed 165
hostile machines and drove down six
out of control. Thirteen of ours were
missing.
"On the Salonlkl front, between Jan
uary and June. 21 hostile machines
were destroyed and 13 were driven
down out of control. Four of ours
were lost.
"From March to June, in Egypt and
Palestine. 26 hostile airplanes were
destroyed and 15 were driven down out
of control. Ten of ours were missing.
"In all the theaters of the war the
British air superiority and strength
progressed rapidly and continuously.
From this it is safe to assume that
when the new factor of America's out
put, both aircraft and personnel, en
ters the situation in the fighting zone,
the aerial ascendancy of the entente
allies should give them very great advantage."

ROSEBURG, Or., July 13. (Special.)
Sam Shove, the man who tried to buy
the Hotel Umpqua a few weeks ago.

worthless check, which lapse resulted
In his being arrested, broke Into the

for such party and pledges all of his
earnings to the Red Cross, the money
to be paid directly to that Institution

Germany Declared to Have
Made Bad Bargain in Rou

BELGIUM HELD AS PAWN
Hertllng Says Ravaged Cotfntry Will
Be Used as Factor in Future Ne
gotiations; Alsace-Lorraine
Deal Is Criticised.
AMSTERDAM. July 13. "One or two
more such peace treaties and we are
lost," exclaimed Herr von Graefe, a
Conservative member of the Reichstag,
In an indictment of former Foreign Sec
retary Von KLuehlmann's "no indemnity,
no annexations" peace treaty of Buch
arest. The article, which is published
in the Pan-German Deutsche Zeltung,
develops four points as follows:
"First Austria-Hungary has re
ceived by frontier rectifications the
lion's share of the most valuable Rou
manian territory, but we have to
shoulder our billions of war debt.
"Second The petroleum agreement Is
an absolute swindle. By it the banks
profit, but not the German people.
"Third We get Roumanian grain,
but at usuary prices, of which the Rou
manian treasury is sure to grab the
main part by way of export duties, so
it is we who pay an Indemnity to
Roumanla.
Treaty of 1878 Basis.
"Fourth The dynastic question and
the position of Jews in Roumanla are
dealt with on the basis of the Berlin
treaty of 1878, when self-determination
of rights and non-interference in
Internal affairs of conquered states had
not been invented."
The writer declared the German peo
ple have been sadly humbugged and
that when their eyes are opened they
will heap maledictions upon the heads
of those who drafted the Bucharest
treaty.
COPENHAGEN. July 13. Denial that
Germany intended to retain Belgium
was made by Count von Hertllng, Ger
man Imperial Chancellor in the course
of his speech before the Reichstag main
committee on Thursday.
A German official telegram received
here today says:
"With regard to the statements made
on Thursday by the Imperial chancel
lor regarding Belgium, a view has
spread among the publlo which may
give rise to misunderstanding. We are.
therefore, giving in full that part Of
the chancellor's speech. He said:
Expression Pawn Defined.
" 'The present possession of Belgium
only means that we have a pawn for
future negotiations. We have no In
tention to keep Belgium in any form
whatever.'
"By the expression pawn is meant
that one does not Intend to keep what
one has in one's hand as a pawn If
negotiations bring a favorable result."
LONDON. July 13. Contradictions of
policy among German officials seem
ingly has another illustration in the
manner of publication of the statement
made by Chancellor von Hertllng re
garding Belgium.
The German wireless service sent a
report of Chancellor von Hertllng's
speech, which ignored all reference to
Belgium.
The natural Inference seems to be
that the officials who Issued the wire
less version did not want Count von
Hertllng's statements regarding Bel
gium circulated.
AMSTERDAM. July 13. At Thurs
day's session of the Reichstag main
committee in Berlin the progressives,
the Deputies of the Center party, and
the Socialists criticised a contract
which had been entered Into between
the government and a land company,
which Intends to purchase estates in
Alsace-Lorraine and settle them with
persons "who are reliable from a na
tional standpoint."
All Sentiment Unfavorable.
Neither of the Alsace-Lorraine leg
islative chambers favored the contract.
The illness with which thousands of
persons in German industrial districts
are suffering and which has been de
scribed as Spanish Influenza is really
an illness due to hunger and conse
quent exhaustion, the Telegraaf says It
