j' .t, 'lolsfeeviki Leaders Add To Tangle By Fleeing To Nominally Enemy V *... -f Country.

IjONDON, Aug".' 17.—Russia appears to be on the verge of another crisis— folitical as well as military.

With various anti-German and antiBolshevik i forces slowly pushing in toward the heart of the country from %11 sides, save the west, the Bolshsvlki leaders have added to the politlconilitary tangle by fleeing to & nominally enemy country.

Unconfirmed reports received from Stockholm today declared that Nikolai Lenine and Leon Trotsky, premier and irar minister, respectively, of the Bolihevik government, had gone from vKronstadt to Finland. Trotsky was reported to have already reached Heltingfors, while Lenine was said to be s fnroute in a German ship.

Finland is openly allied with Gertiany, but has been fighting the BolIheviki. The answer to Lenlne's and Trotsky's alleged flight to a country *t war with jtheir government can only Come from subsequent developments. s Tfm.

TO PROVIDE RATION FOR FORTY MILLION

.- n

America Preparing To Send Immense

Quantities of Foodstuffs To Armies In Europe. ~f

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17—Foodstuffs which America Is prepared ta send over seas during the next twelve months will provide fighting ration tor forty million men, food administration officials declared today. This is almost double the result of the last twelve months' effort to make up the shortage in rations of the European allies.

Exports during the last year amounted to 10,000,000 tons of foodstuffs. During the next year It is believed the amount can be increased to 18,000,000 tons, if it is deemed necessary, and Canada will provide an additional 3,000,000 tons. This program is 960 per cent greater than in pre-war times.

Conditions are so greats improved that it is believed this can be carried out with less pressure of saving on the American people and"S.t the same time reserves can be built up against the possibility of famine years. The meat outlook is favorable, to©, for swine production in America has in creased under patriotic urging to such an extent that the entire European demand for meat can be met In pork alone.

Owing to pressure brought by radical socialist members of the German reichstag, the reichstag main committee will be summoned soon to examine the proposed Polish settlement.

FORD INVADES MEXICO,"

"DUPROIT, Mich., Aug. 17.—As a plan to arrest German propaganda in Mexico and to set & more friendly feeling between that country and the United States, Henry Ford will build a million dollar tra'etor plant there, from which not a cent will be taken, the motor king announced today.

Ford has notified the Me^Ucan government of his plan and already has received a reply that land will be provided for the plant. All profits are to be turned back into the industry, which will be placed under control of tho Mexican' government yhen the plant has developed to a stage where prolits cannot be absorbed.

FOR FULL MEASURE.

Pood Inspectors To Enforce Law Regarding Marked Packages. Short weights and measures of foodstuffs in original packages will be undef a ban in Terre Haute after next Friday. On that date Food Inspectors J. A. Buck and Maurice Walsh will begin a rigorous enforcement of the law, which provides that all packages or containers must be marked with the net weight of the contents at "time of sale."

Packages branded with weight "when packed" do not comply with the law, it is said. In Terre Haute the deputy food inspectors find the most flagrant violations in bags of potatoes, hampers o& beans and apples and crates of vegetables.

TEUTON RULERS FAIL TO REACH AGREEMENT

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 17.—That Germany will reject the so-called Austrian solution of the Polish question, which was proposed by Emperor Karl at the recent conference of Austrian and German leaders, is the belief expressed by the Cologne Gazette, in a semi-official statement.

If such action is taken, the paper believes that Baron Burian^ Austrian foreign minister, who has been pressing the Austrian solution of the question, will probably resign.

NEW DRAFT BILL WILL BE LAUNCHED MAY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—Tho now man-power bill making the draft ages 18 to 45 will be launched in the house Monday.

Secretary of War Baker, Chief of Staff March and Provost Marshal Crowder are scheduled to come before th& house military affairs committee to explain provisions of the' measure and urge its speedy passage.

The senate on Monday will try to get unanimous consent for a call to members to begin regular sessions again next Thursday before It adjourns out of respect for the late Senator Galllnger.

Chairman Dent, of the house committee, today announced he will offer an amendment to the bill, making compulsory the taking of men above 31 before the boys under 21.

Under Dent's plan, men of 32 would be called first, followed by men of 33 and so on until all men up to 45 in class No. 1 were taken. Representative Kahn, ranking republican of the committee, is against Denfs plan, preferring to leave details of the new draft to Crowder and Baker.

Kahn and Denfr agree, however, that the bill can be pushed through committee in one day or two, and possibly through the house by next Saturday night.

Senator Chamberlain, of the senate military affairs committee, believes he oan get the measure through the upper body at the same time, if debate can be started Thursday, as now planned. -•. *•..»

GERMAN U-BOATS SINK 17 SMALL VESSELS

WASHINGTON", Aug. 17.—U-boat snipers have taken seventeen vessels as, their toll after a week's hard work, according to latest reports tonight. The ships sunk were coastwise ships, mostly shipping smacks and tankers. The raiders are still at large, although it is possible some have been sunk.

U-boat commanders have failed completely to force relaxation of protection to transports a.nd supplies bound for Europe by their daring attempts along the coast Naval officials were still firm in their belief tonight that ship lanes to Europe must be guarded first, although% they are increasing their protection along the coast.

TAX ON WHISKY?

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—A tax of $8 a gallon on whiskey and other distilled liquors was tentatively decided on by the ways and means committee today. The present tax is $3.20. The new rate is subject to change if the committee should find itself short of the $8,000,000,000 goal when the bill is ready to report. Rates on other liquors are raised in proportion, but the committee is withholding information. The rates are only tentative and may tie changed.

The contest was one of the mc«* successful fever conducted by" the Tribune, 2,163 replies being received in the three weeks the contest was in progress.

Too, answers were received over a wider range of territory than covered by any former Tribune contest. There were numerous letters from Indianapolis and some of the remote points represented in the contest were Alton, 111. Wheeling, W. Va. Grand Rapids, Mich. Englewood, Chicago Mentor, Mo. Birmingham, Ala, and Los Angeles, Cal.

Woe betide the kaiser should he fall into the hands of the Tribune contestants. Unique punishments were proposed which the Spanish inquisitors or old General Weyler never dreamed of. These range from a kaiser fricasse in boiling oil to taking him out' on the high seas on on%,.q|, Jjis U-boats and then letting the TJ. S. navy fire a broadside into the submarine.

The judges, however, passed on the replies with a view to their fitness in relation to the high-class of this government in going to war. Cruelty to the kaiser was not the first consideration, but rather the disposition of the kaiser under the common notion ot justice and in accordance with our purpose to further world democracy.

A popular answer was to' turn the kaiser over to the women and children of Belgium others would exhibit him in cage in a circus over the world and with the proceeds rebuild the lands of Belgium and northern France.

Some Of- the answers from soldiers in the different cantonments would make the kaiser's blood run cold, if they carry out some of the ideas they suggested for his punishment. Bill Hohenzollern better take refuge in hair-kari the minute the Tanks cross the Rhine.

The answers have been read with intense interest by the public generally.

ALLIES BOMB fill

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 17.—Four persons were killed, many were, injured and considerable damage was done when allied airmen bombed' Darmstadt on Friday morning, according to a dis.r patch received from that city today. The attack was said to have been "exceptionally violent." Four machines of the attacking squadron were destroyed.

Darmstadt is 15 miles south, of Frankfort and about the same distance east of the Rhine. It is nearly 150 miles from the nearest point on the west front.

Financial Relief.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—T e United States faces a serious meat shortage unless financial relief is given the cattle raisers of the west, according to D. Tomkin, Jr., of Denver, chief of the live stock division of the food administration for his district.

Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, today received a letter from Tomkin. urging financial aid for the cattle men. Tomkin stated the local banks are unable to care for the situation and that federal relief is seriously needed.

Western banks, Tomivin said, favored the establishment of a. federal fund of not less than $100,000t000 to take care of the situation.

The slowing down, therefore, of the allies advance in Picardy is a high tribute to Marslial Foch's strategic vision. It does not mean the Germans are able to halt the allies at will. There is no doubt of Marshal Foch's ability to drive the Germans much further back, should he so desire hut the frontal assaults that would be required would lessen the allies' manpower for coming operations in German territory.

Instead of adopting this policy, Marshal Foch, is slowly nibbling in Picardy, gaining local strategic fwivantages and keeping Hindenburg in continual state of disyuietude. The result is wearing on the morale of the Germany army, and will bring about further retirements by slow momentum.

But Ilindenburg will not tetnpt the allies into an onrush by turning at bay. This is the fege-long trick of wild animals. The careful huntsman, while wary, is yet relentless.. S.wch are Hindenburg and Foch.
