Millions Being Spent in Propaganda Work, a Statesman Says. Washington, July 20.—Evidenee that millions in German gold still are being poured into propaganda work among Americans has been laid be- fore the State Department by a states- man of international reputation, it was learned today. In an interview the statesman, whose name for ob- vious reasons cannot be mentioned, said: “German bought papers are being published, unhindered, under the very nose of the American government ev- ery day. “Hundreds of ministers are using their holy offices to turn Americans into German sympathizers. “The condition is not local, country-wide.” A dangerous situation is resulting from the machinations of these pro- German propagandists, he asserted. They are steeping us in an atmos- phere of hatred. The alleged pro-German operations of German churchmen in Nebraska, the statesman added, are only eur- face outcroppings of a honeycomb propaganda embracing more than one religious body, hundreds of individ- uals and many newspapers. through- out the country. ey “My fellow statesmen,” continued the speaker, “were amazed at formal findings which I submitted. an exceedingly gloomy view of the situation in America. Serious trouble threatens if America does not immed- ately crush the serpent’s head. “I also feel that the Allies should organize their own propaganda moré strongly in neutral countries.

Petrograd, July 24.—Premier Ke- rensky has completed the constitu- tion, of the new provisional govern ment. Like the ministry of his pre- decessor,, Prince Lvoff, the cabinet is ,a,.coalition, but is limited to ten members. Five of the ministers be- long to the socialist group and five are members of non-socialist parties. The other offices of state will be directed, not by ministers, but. by non-political directors of departments who are not members of the cabi- net. ' M. Effremoy has been appointed minister of justice and a member of the provisional government. M. Boecknikov has been named minis- I takel ter of public aid. Both the ministers are members of the duma, represent- ing the progressive party. “A blood and iron policy,” will be put into effect if needed to save Rus- sia by the government of Premier Kerensky, to which unlimited power has been granted. .In an interview today the premier said: “Relying upon the confidence of the masses and the army, the govern- ment will save Russia and Russian unity by blood and iron if argument and reason, honor and conscience are not sufficient. ‘ “The situation at the front is very ‘serious and demands heroic measures. But I am convinced the organism of the state is sufficiently vigorous to be cured without a partial amputa- tion.” Fang Accepts the Presidency.

New York, July. 23—The an- nouncement that Siam has declared a state of war with Germany, carries greater significance than might at first be supposed, according to a Statement here today by John Bar- rett, director of the Pan-American Union, Washington, and formerly U. S. minister to Siam. ; | “Siam’s chief importance. is that it is practically the rice granary or source of food supply for China and its action may have a direct. effect upon China’s attitude toward Ger- many,” said Mr. Barrett. “It also gives the allies now, for the first time, an unbroken favorable coast line all the way from China to the Mediterran, for Siam was the only neutral territory in that entire dis- tance of many thousand miles. It also possesses an excellent little navy adequate to patrol the gulf of Siam ceast line of nearly 2,000 miles.” | A meeting of the assessors of the several townships of the county has been called by the county ‘court’ direction a sag der ion of thi niission at Butler on Guteotey: Sa;
