LITTLE DISORDER IN RUSSIA Elihu Root Says America Has Ob- tained Exaggerated Picture of Situa- tion in Newest Republic. Chicago, Aug. 7.—Elihu Root, who, with other members of the, American mission to Russia which has com- pleted its work, was here today, said that as a matter of fact there Is scarcely more disorder in Russia than there is in.the United States. | Certain disturbances are inevitable in a change of government so radical as that of Russia,” he said, “and cable despatches deal largely with these disturbances. Hence the public has gained an impression that there is little going on in Russia except dem- onstrations. As a matter of fact re- ports on American affairs disseminat- ed in Russia were on our own little disturbances—race riots the I. W. W. and the like—Russians would have ure of us that we now have of them. I have faith in the new Russian ministry and in the Russian future as an important ele- ment in the aims of the allies. Wom- en are doing wonderful work in shaming the men into fighting and where nec¢essary I hope American women will follow their example.” ONE U-BOAT GETS 19 SHIPS' Captain of Submarine Boasts of Ex- ploit Within Three Weeks—Refu- | gee of Norwegian Vessels tells Story | An Atlantic Port, Aug. 7.—One | German submarine during a three | week period ending July 19 sank 19 vessels aggregrating 66,000 tons andl was still in condition to remain long- er away from its base, according to a | report brought here today by Harold | Hansen of Detroit, a member of the | crew of on of the destroyed ships who | said he received his information from the U-Boat commander.

The subma- rine captain, Hansen said, told him and others of his crew with pride that he had sunk 18 other ships in three weeks. K. OF C.
