I am convinced that the new ad- | vance, even if temporarily stayed, is | not finished but is a'prelude to much greater successes “The advance thoroughly confutes the pessimists who unanimously pre- dicted that an offensive by our sup- posed disorganized troops was impos- sible. From actual intercourse with delegates from the army and with other observers on the spit, I know that the offensive spirit is spreading. “This is no gradual reconstruction of the army, but the first stage of a complete process of re-creation, which is almost miraculous, proving, in my judgment, the troops are infected with a genuine revolutionary and crusad- Press r Premier and AMERICANS URGED TO BE COURTEOUS General Pershing Asks Them to Show _Best Deportment Toward French Public. Paris, June 7. (Delayed.)—Major General Pershing, commander of the American forces in France, has is- sued the following general order to his troops:— “For the first time in history an American army finds itself in Euro- pean territory. The good name of the | United States of America and the maintenance of cordial relations re- quire the perfect deportment of cach member of this command. “It is of the gravest importance that the soldiers of the American | army shall at all times treat the | French people and especially the | women, with the great courtesy and consideration. The valiant deeds of the French armies and the Allies, by which they together have successfully maintained the common cause for three vears, and the sacrifices of the civil population of France in support of their armics, command our pro- found respect. This can be hest ex- pressed on the part of our forces hy uniform courtesies to all the French people and by the faithful observanc- es of their laws and customs. “The intense cultivation of the soil in France under conditions caused by the war makes it necessary that ex- treme care be taken to do no dam- age to private property.

I give you frankly the good and the bad side. The good side is the army upply of munitions and other necessaries, in which we are markedly better off than last year; in fact, guar- anteed for the immed e future. The bad side is the transport difficulties, which still are serious. These are anl evil heritage from the old regime and, naturally, it is impossible to restore order in three months crowded with revolutionary activities. Even with stable political conditions, the creation of efficient transport is a problem of years. Our great hope of speedy im- provement lies with the Stevens Rail- road Commission (the American Com- { mission), from which we much."” American Machinery Desirable.

But the key to the solution of all our military and economic diffi- culties is transport amelioration, in which it is impossible to do too much. my hearty thanks for the American project, the despatch of the Red Cross mission, as here we have serious defects and deficiencies. I follow the news on this subject from New York with intense interest, but, having myself ceased to direct Red Cross and sanitary affairs, T can only beg America as far as possible to meet the requests for material and personal help made by our official Red Cros ,in the consciousness that the triumph of our common cause will he furthered therchy. “I hope also for further American financial support. I am unable to say what form this will take, pre- sumably a loan. But on this subject, our finance minister, M. Shingaroff, in his discussion with the financial mem- bers of the Root commission, no doubt will produce a practical pro- gram, which America can help realize. America should note that we ourselves are ready to hear the hcaviest mone- tary sacrifices and already have passed more drastic measures respecting taxation on property than any of the other belligerent powers. and are perts American help Premier, “I lay It will be Send Problem. economic Food Great “Among our other lems the most vital is food. Here again the central question is trans- port, and if America helps in this we can do the rest ourselves, as the total stock of food is sufficient for both ths army and the civilian population, Our winter crops were very good: our xpring crops were injured by droughts, but by the end of July we shall know our exact position, and even If there an especially bad harvest, which we have no reason to expect, we are abso- lutely sccured against hunger for the the “Tor next prob- vear. vear's craps arises the problem of an increase in the amount of agricultural machinery, and we should be grateful if America submits a plan to help in this matter on a comprehensive scale.” Prince Lvoff proceeded to the Internal situation, declaring had a marked influence on Rus: ability to carry on the war with vigor. m glac he said, “to sce last week's marked signs of amelioration. Tell America I have daily evidence of the rallying of all the rational elements of the nation around the coalition cabinet. The irrational ele- ments, such as the anarchists and 3olsheviks, are in such a minority there is no reason to fear their getting the upper hand. Not only the hour- geoisie but an overwhelming majority of the workingmen are against them. Their present excesses are merely desperate reaction against their consciousness of this. “Note that, though every week there have been loudly advertised plans to overthrow the government hy force, there has not heen one attemnt to execute the plans made. Further- more, I may deny the rumors of re- actionary and revolutionary agitation and threats of Jewish pogroms, of which there is no sign whatever. “On the whole, the nation is satis- fied with the provisional government, hecause the government, though ham- pered by grave military and diplo- matic preoccupations, has already suc cessfully carried through internal r forms which embody the traditional aspirations of Russia’s Do you know that within a few week of the Czarists’ downfall the goveru- ment realized a liberal five-fold pro- gram, giving complete liberty of per- son, speech, press, meetings and re- ligion, and going therein further than | most progressive democracies in) Europe or America? i “Although these | forms were hastil i the absence of legislative machinery, | not one af them has been subjected to | | | | | discuss th tremendous pushed through in re- serious criticism, even by the avowed anti-governmenb Factions, Perhaps America knows ‘of this, but does she knaw that we have also executed comprehensive scheme of cconomic, financial and social reforms | which has been unanimously ap-! proved? “I refer you, for instance, to the democratization of the country, local self-government in the throughout the country, with the universal and equal suffrage for both sexes regardless of qualifications. the special feature of which is the establishment of a smaller unit of loca] government in which is abol- ished the inequality between peas- a minor expect | § WISE, SMITH & CO., HARTF NEW AMMUNITION THIS w BIG INVENTORY SALE WASH GOODS REMNANTS, Worth up to 39c, at ...121-2¢ yd.

Forty Per Cent. This Best Prediction. Tlijah Rogers, of Shutte Meadow district, Southington, one of the largest peach and apple growers in the state, states that there will only be a 30 or 40 per cent. apple crop this vear. Last year and in 1915 Mr. Rogers sent the largest part of his apple crop to England, where it was supposedly used mainly for war pur- poses. Mr. Rogers reports that his crop will not warrant receiving such a big order this vear. He wivs that on the other hand his peach crop is unusually large. Mr. Rogers presided at the Peach Growers’ association meeting in Hart- ford last week, and he has called an- other meeting for Wednesday after- noon in the state capitol. The peach op for New England is estimated at 1,000,000 baskets and Mr. Rogers says Connecticut will furnish more than 700,000 baskets of the million. The National Food Preservation as- socaition and the State (®uncil of De- fense are uniting with the Peach Growers’ association this year to see that a market is secured for all the peaches, so that none will zo to waste. Dried peaches should be a stapls relish in these war times, and it is thought that the price of dried peaches will be very low next winter, in comparison with those of other dried fruits, and the low price will be chiefly due to combined efforts of the above combinations.
