E d ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok k ok k ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok Kk kk TR KKK KKK KKK KKK By William Philip Simms (United Press Staff Correspondent) Petrograd, June 12.—(By mail)— Slowly, like a giant getting under way, Russia, backed by her plain people, is gathering strength. To- day, working for her, she has an army of them fifty million strong. This is not a sob-sister hysteria. It is truth. The People’s War. The Russian war is the people’s war. With their incalcuable forti- tude the people are backing up the army in a way peculiar to them and not to be found in any other country of Europe. In England and France, for instance, the governments are co- operating with industrial corpora- tions and bankers—to the exclusion of well-defined citizen’s groups—thus keeping the nation and the army sup- plies. In Russia the government and army also co-operate with these. But they MOVEMENT SPREADS WOMEN ORGANIZE TO SUPPORT HUGHES; THROUGHOUT NATION Left to right, top: Mrs. Vincent Astor and Dr. Caroline Bartlett Crane. Bottom: Dr. Katherine B. Davis and Mrs. John Hays Hammond. More than one hundred women, prominent socially and because of their activities in various other sTheres, have organized the Women’s National liance in support of Charles E. Hughes. Committee of the Hughes Al movement is nation wide. Prominent The among the organizers of the Alliance are Mrs. Vincent Astor, wife of the young New York millionaire; Mrs. John Hays Hammond, wife of the well known mining engineer and Republican leader; Dr. Caroline Bartlett Crane and Dr. Katherine B. Davis of New ‘York, well known social workers, sia lacked sufficient munitions at the start of the war. So did the.other co-operate with an organized people, too, through non-political groups which have been formed all over the country—citizen’s associations, co- operative societies, peasants’ unions —and whose aim is but to serve Rus- sia. Then there is a central committee, composed of civilians, to co-ordinate the efforts of the groups and take the army’s orders. Working for Nation. So some of the fifty millions are allies. But the difference between this: They were great industrial countries and she was not. Germany Has Monopoly. Russia could not remedy this in a day. Nor even in a year. Germany had had for a long time practically a monopoly on manufactured articles, chemicals and so forth in Russia and, as former Premier Count Kokovtsow pointed out this had proved a posi- tive curse to the empire. When the Russia. and them was at the front, in uniforms, under arms. Others are back of the lines drilling to go to the front. The rest are scattered all over the Russian empire working at their jobs, big or little, but for the nation. They are farm- ers and merchants, tailors and chem- ists, bootmakers and doctors, drug- gists and nurses, seamstresses and carpenters, machinists and plain day laborers all mobilized just as effec- tively, so far as carrying on the war is concerned, as the foremost soldiers in the foremost trenches. The citizen’s organizations for aid- ing the country and the army are literally hundreds in number but the majority of these can be bunched un- der one or the other four general names. Then there is t} 3 Municipality Union, grouping the work of Russian cities.. Next is the War Trade Committee. Lastly the Co-operative Union whose membership includes over 30,- 000,000 people, mostly peasants, and whose activities affect in one way or another more than half the popula- tion of the Russian empire. So it is putting it very conserva- tively to say that, counting soldiers and those backing up the soldiers, Russia has fifty million souls toiling to fetch her home a victory. A Central Committee. In order that the work of these or- ganizations may clash as little as pos- sible there is a central committee sitting permanently, week days and Sundays, in a building to itself here in Petrograd. When the government has need of this or that for the army, or for refugees, or for its organia- tion back of the fighting lines, it can and does call on the central commit- tee for aid. The central committee, looking over the vast resources at its command, with its wires reaching out into the farthermost corners of the empire, sees at a glance what can be done and does it, quickly and effi- ciently. There is not a single branch of hu- man endeavor not at the beck and | call of these citizens’ organizations and through them available the cen- tral committee and the government. All the sciences, arts, trades and oc- cupations have been mobilized in this way. They are ever heady to provide anything from fresh milk for babies to high explosives for the army. The whole world knows that Rus- war came on, severing all relations with Russia and her former source of supplies, she felt a pinch. The worst of this situation so far as Russia was concerned, was that it could not be quickly remedied. De- pending on Germany for manufac- tured articles, she lacked machinery to make them. Buying nearly all her chemicals from Teutonic drummers, she could not immediately start manufacturing them herself. And so on. ‘Which brings us to this: The Russian people, through their or- ganizations, have accomplished near- miracles, and are still accomplishing them, making up for past defects. Through their combined wits and re- sources, clear on down through to the furtherest peasant of Siberia, they have bridged what otherwise might have been disaster. The story of some of these citizen- organizations, how they came into being, how they work and the extent of their utility for the public good, will be told in subsequent articles.

Bemidji counted three times in its half of the third on two er- rors, two hits and a base on balls. The visitors tied the score in the sixth inning on an error, base on balls and a hit. Bemidji in this in- ning had three men on bases with two men out but Kannerberg was called out at home attempting to score on a passed ball:by the catcher. Game a Thriller. The game Sunday afternoon was a thriller and- was net decided until the tenth inning when Little Falls bunched hits and made three scores. Little Falls scored in the first in- ning on two errors.i Bemidji tied the score in the fifth inning on fwo hits and a sacrifice. Neither side scored again until the tenth inning when Liljedahl got a base on balls and Gourd, the next man up, drove the ball over the fence for a home run. One more run was made on hits by Wood and Briere. Pull for Long Hit. In the last of the tenth after two men were out, the bases were filled by a man being hit by a pitched ball, a hit and an error. The fans were pulling for a long hit, as a two-bag- ger would have cleaned the bases and tied the score but White, who was at bat, ended the game by hit- ting to Briere who retired the side.

NOTES ON THE GAME. La Force got out of a hole in the sixth inning of the Sunday game af- ter men were on second and third by striking out two men. > Allison, the Little Falls clean-up hitter, struck out three times in Sun- day’s game and did not get a hit in the two games. ‘Withers played a great game at first, Sunday, a large number of his putouts being made on poor throws. He played an errorless game. Gourd, the Little Falls pitcher, be- sides holding Bemidji to four hits, made three hits, a single, a double and a home run. A fast double play by Diedrich, Boudreau and Withers was one of the features of the Sunday game. Tanner made a sensational run and catch of Briere’s foul in the first in- ning Sunday but dropped the ball as he fell. The grandstand and bleachers were filled at the game Sunday. The Saturday evening crowd was satis- factory to the baseball association and more evening games will be played. The band was again on deck Sun- day afternoon.
