ELIHU ROOT OPTIMISTIC ABOUT RUSSIA’S FUTURE Greatest Need Is Money and Adequate Transportation Facil Petrograd, July 10.—The American commission headed by Elihu Root has completed a month’s survey of all the phases of the Russian situation and is confident in the belief that the na- tion will successfully emerge from its energetic pursuance of the wir. The optimistic conclusions of the commission are not derived alone from consultations with the govern- mental needs, but are based more largely upon the spirit and determin- ation of the people which has been en- countered in public organizations, po- iitical ard industrial councils and in all the aelegations properly repre- sentative of the temper of the nation as a whole. 3 There is, however, no disposition on the part of the commission to minim- ize either the dangers threatened by the widespread German propaganda and pacificism agitation or the prac- tical difficulties in the way of trans- portation and the reorganization of Russia’. economic_life. The question of the food supply is, in the opinion of the commission, the most import- ant problem confronting the country. Mr. Root has made the following statement to The Associated Press: “The mission has accomplished what it came here to do and we are greatly encouraged. We found no organic or incurable malady in the Russian dem- ocracy. Democracles are alwavs in trouble and we have seen days just as as dark in the progress of our own. “We must remember that a people in whom all constructive effort has been suppressed for so long cannot immediately develop a genius for quick action. The first stage is necessarily one of debate. The solid, admirable traits in the Russian character will pull the nation through the present crisis. Natural love of law and or- der and capacity for local self-govern- ment have been demonstrated every day since the revolution.

Connecticut’s response to the Red Cros e Lib- erty Loan and other worthy appeals has be most gratifying, but mean- while the needs of the state’s own chil- dren under the care and supervision of this society are beinz overlooked and many more are being deprived of good homes through the lack of sufficient funds. Our letter of June 11th asked for $10,000, which must be obtained at once if we arc to continue the care of these children for whom we have al- ready assumed definite responsibilities. Only $1,000 has been received, while millions of dollars have gone out of the state for other causes. Our work 1is largely dependent up- on private donations. _$3,000 is the amount that is immediately required for urgent needs. GOVERNMENT WAR NEEDS IN IRON AND STEEL Subject of Conference Held in Wash- ington Yesterday. New York, July 10—To discuss gov- ernment war needs in iron and steel and prices_of such supplies, the iron and steel committee of the ~American Iron and Steel Institute left today for conferences with Secretary of War Baker and Secretary of the Navy Daniels in Washington. The comyuittee headed by Elbert H. Gary, is composed of executives of the principal steel companies. - An announcement of the committee’s departure said the secretary of war had requested the conferences. Hearings on Aviation Bill Concluded. Washington, July 10.—Hearings on the administration’s $639,000,000 avia- tion bill were concluded today by the house military committee and the measure probably will be reported be- fore the end of the week. Secretary Baker did not appear before the com- mittee. King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, accom- panied by the Crown Prince Boris, Prince Cyril, and the Prime Minister, M.

Berlin, Monday, July 9, via London, July 10.—The_situation Is unchanged. The tension, if anything. is more in- tense. ~The session of :he reichstag was rather a perfunctory affair. Chief interest centered about an animated meeting of the main committee, during which Chancellor von Bethmann-Holl- weg took the floor twice. While the discussions were of a con- fidential nature, it is generally believed the four party coalition has not vet decided cn the final draft of the res- olution covering war aims and elec- toral reforms. No session of the reichstag will be held on Tuesday, as that day is to be devoted to a further significant ses- sion of the main committee and meet- ings of the various party factions. Attacked Leader of Catholic Center. The chancellor made a strong attack on Mathias Erzberger, leader of the Catholic center, who assailed the Pan- Germans in his address before the main committee last week and advo- cated peace without annexations or indemnities. Dr. von Bethmann-Holl- weg said Herr Erzberger’s attitude was unpatriotic. According to the summary of the chancellor'’s speech before the main committee published in the Lokal An- zeiger of Berlin, he said: 'We must continue the war ith our whole energies. I do not deny that we have great difficulties to overcome, but so have our enemies. We shall see whether their difficuities or ours are greater. “T am sure we can win out.” if we hold To Retain His Post. Yothing was further from my in- on than to cling to my post, but it is a question of protecting the Fatherlard from injury, and for this reason I consider it necessary to re- tain my post.” A CROWN COUNCIL WAS HELD IN BERLIN MONDAY Only in Times of Greatest Stress Are Such Mestings Callad. London. July 10.—The crown coun- cil called by Berlin Emperor William was held according to an ph despatch from today, but no announce- as to what took place at the s been made. “The German public is very uneasy rekarding the ahsence of news as to vesterday, the decisions of the crown council the emperor held yesterday,” the despateh. “Oniy in times of est stress are such = meetings Other advicee from the same source | say that the meeting of the crown c lasted three hours, being one of the longest on record since July, 1914, when Emperor William signed the ‘mobilization order that preceded the declaration of war The ministers of both the empire and the kingdom were in attendance, suffrage and the secret ballot. A BREAK COMING IN THE GERMAN CABINET Chancelior Has Promised hstag That He Will Consent. Imperial R Amsterdam, perial 10.—German Im- Chancellor von Bethman-Hol weg, says the Goelnische Volks Zei- tang, promised the reichstaz that I would consent to the resignation from the cabinet of Foreign Minister Zim- merman and Dr. Karl Helfferich, sec interlor and vice chan- cellor. In addition, five members of the Prussian cabinet will be asked to resign. HARPER ELECTED GRAND EXALTED RULER OF ELKS Tom Reilly of Meriden Grand Exalted Leading Knight. ‘ Boston.

Washington, July 10.—A eenate agreement to vote on President Wil- son’s food control bill om July 21, five weeks after its submission to congress as an urgent war measure, was £0.10 ed today by issuance from the White House of a detailed report by Herbert C. Hoover declaring that both the farmers and the public are threatened with serfous losses unless food control authority is given quickly to the fed- eral government. To Eliminate Drastic Features. Democratic senators secured the agreement for a vote only after they had consented to strip the bill of some of its more drastic features, inciuding the stringent prohibition provisions. So far-reaching was the revision de- manded, in fact, that all-day confer- ences of the democratic steering com- mittee and the agriculture committee resulted in presentation of a substitute for the entire measure. No Word from White House. There was no expression of opinion from the White House regarding the provisions of the substitute bill, but it is expected t6 be agreable to the president in the main. It follows gen- the lines of the administration 11 as originally introduced, with pow- to control other industries besides food and fuel eliminated It would prohibit manufacture of distilled iiquors, without prov on for govern- ment purchase of existing stocks, and would place in the president’s hands the power and responsibility to decide whether prohibition shall be extended to beer and wines. Neither was any comment on_ Mr. Hoover's report available at the White House, but the fact of its publication at this time was regarded as another evidence of President Wilson's disap- pointment over the failure of congress to act. Administration Wants Quick Action. Any plan which can be agreed upon quickly, provided it embodies the eie- mentary principles of the administra- tion prosram, is expected to have the White House support. The controf bill now has been before the senate more than two weeks, and the food survey bill, another administration measure, has been held up in conference since early in June. Substitute Bill Under Consideration. Since the whole legislative situation has been upset by the senate, leaders expressed doubt tonight whether action can be taken under any circumstances before Saturday of next we set for the vote. The substitute bill, by Chairman Gore of the agri- culture committee, was taken by the committee as soon as it was sub- mitted and some progress made in its consideration. While the committee is continuing it work, the senate will debate general features of the legisla- | tion. Senator Chamberlain, who has had | charge of the bill, secured the agree- ment for a vote, stubbornly denied heretofore by the opposition, after he had given assurances of radical re- vision. Tater he withdrew the motion filed vesterdav proposing to invoke for the first time the senate cloture rule. Many Amendments Offered. Many amendments were offered be- fore the unanimous consent asreement was reached, inciuding one by Senator Norris proposing that the liquor legis- lation should be permanent instead of operative only during the war. Hoover Criticized by Reed. During the debate Herbert C. Hoover was criticized by Senator Reed as “a calamity howler” in making public atements regarding the feod situa- tion. The substitute bill would make the secretary of agriculture and two other appointed by the president with the senate’s approval members of the food board, with power to co-ope: with representatives of governments at war with Germany to buy, sell, store and distribute feeds, fuel and “similar necessaries essential to the support | and maintenance of the armies there of.” Control of Coal Situation. Comprehensive control of the coal situation also would be provided by federal purchase, or requisition and operation mines for military or other public de- fense purposes. Licensing of Storage Facilities. Federal licensing would extend to wheat elevator or storage facilities, cold storage plants, packing houses, factories producing farm impement or other machinery and fertiiizer pl grain or similar exchanges. Hoar: would be penalized. AMERICAN BARKENTINE SUNK BY A SUBMARINE The Hildegard, 622 Tons—Crew Was Landed Uninjured. London, July 10.—The barkentine Hildegard (622 tons) has been sunk by a submarine. The crew has landed uninjured. The submarine fired six shots without hitting the ves- sel; then the crew of ten American citizens took to the boats. The under- water boat approached and towed the boat back to the Hildegard, which she sank with bomb: The Germans told the American to row for their lives, as they were ahout to attack another American vessel which was expected along shortly.
