Terrorism Only Weapon Left Russia After Betrayal by Germany, Says Russ Diplomat

PARIS. Friday, Aug. 1. It Is Russia's way of demonstrating that no reconcilation is posible with Germany, M. Maklakoff. the Russian ambassador to France, said today in discussing with the Associated Press' the significance of the recent assassinations of Ambassador Von Mirbach and Field Marshal Von Eichhorn. "Murder and acts of terrorism," he added, "are the only weapons left to hands of the Germans by the Bolsbevlkl Her military power has been smashed by anarchy and the Russians wish to show the world and the allies that they, are prepared to use what weapons they still -possess. These acts of terrorism are not the result of misguided courage on the part of individuals, but. an expression of the general dissatisfaction of all the people or, at least a great majority of the population. "Individuals would never dare to commit such terrible deeds, virtually PRESIDENT MAY TOUR U. S. FOR LIBERTY LOAN Plans Trip to Pacific Coast During Three" Weeks of Fourth Loan Drive. WASHINGTON, Aug.3 It is believed that President Wilson is contemplating a nation-wide tour of the country during the fourth Liberty Loan day wrote a letter to Representative Charles H. Randall of California, in dicating that he would like to visit California"during the next few months. Mr. Randall has written to the President asking him to visit California in October, and while the invitation was not accepted, neither was it refused. "Ever since I came to Washington, I have not only wished to visit the Pacific coast," said the president, in his letter to Mr. Randall, "but have repeatedly tried to work out a plan to do so, but always something has intervened which made it my imperative duty to remain in Washington. You may be sure, however, that I shall not give up the hope, or stop trying to make the plan." In making this part of the president's letter public, Mr. Randall stated he had assurances that program for the president's tour of the west is already in process of formation, and that the date suggested by him, Octo- j ber, will be adopted. Mr. Randall stated also that the tour will be completed probably with tho final date of the Liberty Loan campaign, which has been fixed for October 19. It became known today that Postmaster-General Burleson has been Instrumental in having various members of congress write to the president, extendirr to him an Invitation to visit their state during October. Mr. Randall is thus far the only one who has received a reply, so far as has been ascertained. The fact that Mr. Burleson is engineering the scheme caused an immediate interest on the part of Republicans in congress. They see in it a carefully devised piece of political strategy, to be staged as part of t Democratic campaign for retaining the control of the House and Senate. It has been whispered for a long time about the corridors of the office buildings of the members that the date of the Liberty Loan campaign has been t fixed for October, with an eye to po litical advantage. NAVY FILM AT LYRIC The navy film "An American Sailor in the Making," will be shown at the Lyric theatre Sunday and Monday, owing to numerous requests from people who did not get to see it recruit until he becomes a full-fledged sailor, ready to board one of our men-of-war for duty. The film was produced at the San Francisco Training station. Modern business is the art of serving and satisfying.

making a sacrifice of their own lives if they they were not aware that the population was solidly behind them. It was Bismarck who said that the strength of revolutions did not lie in the advanced Idea of their leaders, but in the number of moderate and reasonable exigencies which were left unsatisfied. There are many reasonable and modern exigencies in Russia

which have been left unsatisfied by the Germans, and in them lies the J strength of the Russian revolution and the hope of its salvation from the grip of the Germans and from the throes of anarchy. . ' . Reconciliation Impossible. "Were these acts of terrorism Isolated deeds of vengeance by Individuals they would not mean anything, but they are symptoms of general discontent and evidence that Russians will not become reconciled with the system forced upon them by the Germans by strength of arms." PHYSICALLY FIT TO LOSE SAFETY JOBS WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. All men Inducted into the army who are physically fit for general military service are to be sent to France. The secretary of war has notified all branches of the army that this new policy will be enforced. If policy is carried out without fear or favor it will send across the water a large number of young men who had influence enough j to get into what they thought were safety branches of the army. The new policy does not mean that a physically fit man of draft age in a noncombatant branch of the service will be transferred to a combatant branch because under the law this cannot be done, but it does mean, the general staff explains, that all men so qualified will be ordered to France and attached to what is known as the "service of support" branch. Most persans have foreseen for a long time that it was inevitable that sooner or later the physically fit young men of draft age who had found comfortable berths here at home would be dislodged and sent across. The new demand for men, which began to manifest itself several weeks ago, caused the war department to make inquiry as to the possible number of men of draft age who were not disqualified for general military service and yet were so placed temporarily as to make it impossible to send them abroad. NO CHANGE MADE BY U. S. WIRE CONTROL Although the government has taken over all telephone and telegraph systems no change has been noticed in any of the Richmond offices, according to statements made at both telegraph and the telephone offices, Saturday morning. Postmaster Beck has received no official word as to the matter, and the Western Union have had no instructions either from the telegraph headquarters or from the government. According to the Postal Telegraph company, the only change at present is that in the national market prices which are telegraphed from one stock exchange to another, code forms are used to simplify the long word specifications which formerly were used. WORK OF PLACING LABOR IS STARTED More than thirty manufacturers were present at the meeting Saturday morning to decide upon their re presentative for the Community Labor Board. No decision was reached, but a committee of five was appointed to make the nomination and report early next wvek. The members of the committee are S. E. Swayne, chairman; Wm. Bockhoff, Willard Z. Carr, Frank Watt, and Harry Gennett. This Community Labor Board will be made up of three members, one chosen by the manufacturers, one by the employes and the third, according to the governmental ruling, filled by Lawrence Handley, examiner-in-charge of the U. S. employment service. The board Is to be concerned with placing labor in the most needed places; to prevent the pirating of labor, and at the same time to see that the district supplies its quota for war industries, according to the director of the Public Service Reserve. The board will in no wise he a board of appeals to settle labor problems or prevent strikes, as a special provision is made for this by another division of the Washington authorities. The work of placing labor already has been started, and anyone interested either in securing work or workmen for war industries may phone 1477. Provision also will be made for women. Tractor Demonstration to Be Held Wednesday Seven different makes of tractors will demonstrate all day on the farm of Thad Nicholas, Wednesday, August 7. They will demonstrate the value of the tractors on solid ground, on plowed ground and on belt power. The following makes of tractors will perform: Titain, Mogul, Moline, Fordson, Heider, Advance-Rumley, Whittney.

Concerning the probable effect of the reported nomination of General Von Falkenhausen, to succeed Von Eichhorn at Kiev would have on the future policy of the Germans in Russia affecting their Intercourse with the Bolshevik government, the ambassador 6aid it was difficult to judge from this distance because of the meager

news which was permitted to come out out of Russia and especially when the news was given a German tinge before transmission. But he thought from his knowledge of the personality of Helfferich that he would rule with an Iron hand. The record of General Von Falkenhausen in Belgium, he added, speaks for itself. M. Maklakoff, half Jokingly and half seriously, concluded : "Their jobs certainly are no sinecures. They are welcome to them and I do not envy them their positions." Dalton Township Over In Silo Campaign Dalton township is the first township In the county to go "over the top" in the silo campaign. Much credit is due the silo leader, Harry Macy and members of the Registered Men's Organization. They have a total of eleven new silos listed that will be erected before fall. FATHER DUFFY TO BE ARMY CHAPLIN . Word was received Saturday morning of the appointment of the Rev. A. B. Duffy, assistant pastor of the St. Mary's church, as chaplain at Camp Taylor, Ky. He will leave for service August 23. Father Duffy has been in the city since June 1913, when he took up parochial work with Father Cronin In the St. Mary's church. He has a brother who is serving in the navy. 160 TENT SITES ARE RESERVED One hundred and sixty reservations had been made for tent locations by Saturday noon at the Chautauqua headquarters, with prospects of many more being reserved before the office closed that evening.

INDESTRUCTIBLE ISOLATOR

The one exceptional battery is the Vesta. The vitals of the Vesta are different Three exclusive improvements give it double life. The Vesta Indestructible Isolators positively lock the plates apart and prevent this form of short circuits. The Vesta Impregnated Wooden Mats eliminate "treeing" another cause of short circuits. The use of Titanium, a rare mineral, enters into the lead plates, hardening them and adding vastly to the efficiency of the battery. It also precipitates mineralsand impurities in solution. . These exclusive, patented features in the vitals of the Vesta make this wonderful battery last twice as long. This is a positive proved fact; yet the Vesta costs no more than ordinary batteries.
