It is impossible to tell what will be the outcome of the visit which it is sald Kerensky is about to make to this rountry. It can be better told after he arrives and after he lets the full purpose of his visit and recommenda- tions become known: The Russlan cituation is one in which all the bel- ligerents are deeply interésted and from ail indications the central powers ire making greater progress in turning that country to their own uses, than the aliles are in trying to keep it out of the Teutonic clutches, and helping it to regain the position where it can hold its head up among nations. Kerensky is said to be opposed to the term intervention in connection with any move which may be made by the allies. In his opinion that term is bound to create apprehension among the Russians and that what- ever is decided upon as the policy of the entente powers it should be ecar- ried out under the idea of rendering istance to broken Russia for he oes not believe that Russia has gone out of the war. This Russian leader undoubtedly has some firm opinions on the situation in his country for he is credited with saving that the Russian front, though t has been pushed back, still exists. There are fighting elements in that country but from all indications they are without organization. The prob- lem is to get them together and to make the Russians realize the im- portance of accepting allied help in the way the allies belleve it should be rendered. Whether Kerensky by com- ing here ean help the situation re- maine to be seen. His knowledge of the situation and even his jdeas may assist. In view of his experience he € certainly ambitious, BEATING THE U-BOATS. It is an interesting statement whica is put forth by the navy department to the effect that the shipping loss of the allied and neutral nations as the resuit of the operations of the sub- marines during the month of May amounted to about 238000 tons. This. shows a decrease of over 122,000 tons n comparis: with the previous month and malkes it apparent that either this was a period during which the U-boats were letting up in their ruthless operations or eise the oppe- sition which is being encountered is seriously interfering with their suc- cess. The figures seem to bear out the claim which has been made by the British authorities to the effect that the underwater boats are being sent to the hottom twice as fast as they are being built. Our estimate does not of course cor- respond with that which was put forth by Germany for the same month, In fact it couldn’t be expected to for when Germany claims that over 600,- 000 tons of shipping were destroyed in May it is indulging in the same ex- aggeration which has characterized the shipping losses in the past. It is figuring on the same elaborate plan ‘hat it did when it promised that Eng- and would be starved out in six months. But in connection with the esti- mated losses it is of much interest to note that the ship production in this country alone is rapidly reaching the point where it will not only offset the losses sustained but will actually ex- ceed them. Thus the submarine is be- inz successfully fought from two di- rections and the menace is steadily diminishing. EXT!NDING THE DRAFT LIMITS. It is to be sincerely hoped that there is nothing to the claim that the delay asked for by the administration offi- cials regarding the extension of the draft limit ages, which the senate ap- peared to be prepared to change at an early date, is a political move, Sueh of course would be the greatest sort of an error. The needs of the country must be taken care of and met as they should be. That there is little foundation for the claim is indi- cated by the readiness of the senate to _comply with the request. From what has been stated in re- gard to the increasing of the army beyond the number available for the service under the registrations which have taken place, it is apparent that for the time being there are sufficient to meet requirements and all that can 'Wm that h wm h.m-ry I rnmq make provisions for an inerease in the number of men, that the army must | be further augmented and that there cannot be a waste of time' in locking after such meeds, but if there are suf- fieient to take care of the requirements in view of the limitations which pre- vail in the way of training camps and shipping facilities it is of course pref- erable that we . should wait until |fe September or some date in the not dis- tant future that a plan may be per- fected which will produce the best re- sults. It is such a plan which is be- ing worked out and it is better, inas- much as it is olaimed there is no need of unduly rushing the matter, that it should be doné right than to hustle it through without a complete under- standing of the entire situation. DR. SCHERER'S RESIGNATION. " Dr. Scheret of Pasadena, chief field agent of the national defense council and president of Throop College of Technology, has sent in his resigna- tion as chief field agent in an open letter to Seecretary Baker, who is chairman of the council, because he has received what amounts to orders to refrain from criticising William R. Hearst and his newspapers. The re- strictions which have heen placed up- on his freedom of address in connec- tion with his work applies to these papers because it is against them that he has been talking, and he is unwill- ing to continue the work which he has been doing under any such re- strictions. The newspapers against which Dr. Scherer has been talking have mnot been restrained in their expressions. They have expressed opinions which have not always displayed patriotism, but on the other hand they have been v and persistently ' criticised for the iack of it and for the aid which they have thus contributed to the ene- my. This has been fully recognized by the German press. While news- papers insist upon the freedom of e pression they cannot object to criti cisms which are made of their ‘state- ments, and that is the view which Dr. Scherer takes 0f the matter and the great surprise to him is thet he should be restrained in his criticisms by a representative of the government which the newspaper criticisms seri- ously involve. Inasmuch as the pa- pers concerned have been outspoken without government restraint Dr. Scherer takez a plausible attitude when he insists that he should not be gagged when it comes to combat- ting them. CANAL TRANSPORTATION. Not a little dependence has been placed upon the. utilization of the new barge canal in New York state to help out on the transportation problem dur- ing the months when that waterway is free from ice this vear. ' If used to capacity it is estimated that 10,000,- 000 tons of freight can be handled by that method and all such help that can be obtained is needed. Considerable anxiety has been ex- pressed of late lest the changes in the rates for freight movement should re- sult in the price fixed for transporta- dion on the- barge canal being made the same as that on the rail- roads. The result of that would be to overcome to a large extent the help that was anticipated fromsthe water- way for because of the quicker deliv- ery that might be expected the de- mand would be for the despatch of freight by rail rather than by water, inasmuch as there would be no ad- vantage secured by the latter method. This would mean the continuance of the rail congestion while the canal would be calling for business. Such a situation appears to have been fully anticipated and overcome by the fixing of a different rate for the canal than for the railroads. the canal charge being the lower. That provides an incentive for sending 2oods, where such can be dome, by the waterway rather than by rail, es- pecially when two to three dollars a ton can be saved by such action. But with lower rates for canal transpor- tation the need of having sufficient’ vessels to keep them moving is clearly manifested and it will be most unfor- tunate if that situation is not prop- erly taken care of. EDITORIAL NOTES. Kerensky may not be getting any- where but he is at least covering a lot of territory. Austria well recognizes that a re- tfreating army does not help the un- settled conditions in the interior. From all indications the Austrians are perfectly aware by now that the hot period has already struck on in Italy. ——— Japan has decided that it will not take any action looking to intervention just yet. Looks like a watchful wait- ing policy. No one should want to be numbered among those who are not willing to at least aid their country by purchas- ing war savings stamps. If, as claimed, Austria is the in- fliamed appendix of the Teuton body politic. Ttaly may be the surgeon needed to Perform a successful opera- tion. New London is demanding a regu- lation of the auto express and taxi fares in that city. It is necessary to curb the profiteers whetner iarge or small. The man on the corner says: It can- not be expected of course that the girls would allow themselves to wear their summer furs during the cold June days. It is strange that the need of saving sugar never appeals to the person who uses three to five spoonfuls to a cup of coffee and leaves half of it for the dishwasher. When ex-Premier Seydler refuses to reorganize the Austrian ecabinet he gives full consideration to the difficul- ties which the future has in store for that country. Sight cannot be lost of the fact that the government is providing an opportunity for the little fellows to help through the purchase of thrift and war savinss stamps. With Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. be- ing cited for bravery at Cantigny, it doesn’t require much of an imagina- tion to figure out the ex-president’s comment upon iearning of it. The $42,000 cabled abroad by the Epanish War Veterans of Connecticut will prove a decidedly weicome gift for the Connecticut boys. The people of the state certainly made a mnm- cent response, " stated the man gt s ndl:‘;kvery lfl-t mirable mn s a grea al like me—but I tell you I am off and m vineclad suburban cot |} Sabbath_pil- fall on the days ts or I want to bird, and I l Ll lfl'!—fllb mages oy sieep or trllu the set out toward and lee cream with a stern and rock:. bbund countenance. I have no doubt that he and his wife are exactly as glad to see us and are demanding of high heaven why they were so unfor- tunate as to <nvite us on that par- ticular Sunday, when they might just as well have asked us for the Sunday after. Life is like that., you know. “Imogene and I were out at Bosky Crest a few Sundays ago and after dinner Bertha said she had a treat for us. It seemed that her nephew Arthur, alse a dinner guest, was a star mem- ber of the home military company and, as he Had been a year'at West Point, was drilling them until he himself was called. She said it was a wonderful sight to see all the mature residents of Bosky Crest drilling and that we ‘were all going. “No, they did not drill at Bosky Crest, but at the next suburb, Sylvan Dells, and Lemuel would take us all over in the car,. including their three children. only unfortunately he had to take over the Bosky Crest warriors. No, she explained haughtily, not the entire company in ene little car, of course, but his_ contingent. So we would go over on the’street car. “It was a sticky day and when we got to the car line we were moist. Then it rained what the Bosky Crest- ites call a lovely, growing rain, just engugh to spoil your 50 cent suit press and make your eyebrows drip. Reach- ing Sylvan Dells with many other pil- grims, we walked six blocks sizzling in the sun, arriving at last at a large stretch of field. “There we sat on the ground while Lemuel’s youngest repeated in‘a loud tone of voice every three minutes, with the calm regularity of an alarm clock, that he was thirsty and desired a drink. I have always thought par- ents short-sighted in respect t6 water- ing their off-spring. “I have observed that an fhfant's raging thirst invariably increases in direct ratio to the length of the dis- tance to water.

This is where I learned to dislike heartily Bertha's West Point nephew. For he saw us where we sat, and’ what did he do but march his-company on the double quick clear to the farthest end of that field and, by jinks. he kept them there, so we had to unceil our selves and trot over. -1 never in my life saw such cruelty toward middle- aged and helpless men, who by good rights should have been stretched out on the parlor sofa snoring with the newspaper over their faces. “Just as they faced one way nephew barked at them and they jumped to- ward the opposite direetion as though they were shot. There was one dread- ful instant when they got tied up in a bowknot through trying to obey two orders at -once and I thought they were gone for good. When they ha worked like slaves for two more hours and gave no ‘signs of ceasing they dashed by us and Imogene shrieked at nephew and inquired whether he were trying to kill those poor men on the spot or what— and ,as this temporarily confused the military morale, they called it a day and dis- banded, and I am convinced that many of them owe their lives to my brave wife. -Yes, it began to rain again right there, but that was good for the crops —and when we left 1 dared my broth- er and his wife to ask us again all summer, and' they felt just the same way. So after this we will have our reunions downtown.” “H'm!” said the Woodlawn man. “Catch me ever asking you out to dinner!”—Exchange. Sir George Henschel, who used te delight us with his singing, is hard at work, in his retirement from the plat- form making splints for wounded sol. diers. He is living at Aviemore, that lovely village in the Highlands where, in their old age, Dr. Martineau and Dr. Alexander McLaren met more than once and exchanged reminiscences of their preaching days, Sir George Hen- schel has been a composer and a con- ductor, as well as a vocalist. The Bishop was addressing the Sun- day school. In his most expressive tones he was saying, “And now, child- ren, let me tell you a very sad fact. In Africa there are 10,000,000 square miles of territory without a single Sunday school where little boys and [girls can spend their Sundays. Now, what should we all try and save up our money and do?” And the class, as one voice, replied in ecstatic union, “Go to Afric All the sensation of trips to the .|skies and to the center of the earth were experienced by a party of scien- tists who on Saturday visited the pre- mises of Messrs. Siebe German and Co. Members of the party entered a chamber in which the atmospheric conditions at. various heights up to 20,000 feet were reproduced, and they also experienced the sensations of a journey into the depths of the earth in a greatly intensified atmosphere. In this rarefled air chamber, it was explained, many of our flying men cultivate their “air legs.” ‘The visitors were shown how birds give warning of poison gas. A bird in a case was introduced into a cham- ber into which poison gas was turned. The bird was rapidly rendered uncon- scious, but Dr. J. 8. Maldane, who was also in the chamber showed no effects of the gas. Oxygen was administered to the bird, which quickly recovered and commenced to chirp. A naval man, home on leave, was discussing on Saturday Lord Jellicoe’s tribute to all ranks who fought at Jutland, and he revealed what seems to the lower deck the highest form of' heroism. It was nat the fighting, nor the anxious watching day and night—that is what a naval man is there for he showed. ‘“I've been 19 years in the Navy, but if youwd told me before the war that I should ever live for nine months on'board a ship without a break, I should have drop- ped down dead,” he said. “But I've just done it,” he added. An astonishing love romance, which ended in the marriage of an east-end Jewess and an American millionaire, is recalled by the announcement re- cently that Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes has been sentenced in Kansas City to ten years in a penitentiary under the espionage law. Fourteen years ago Rose Harriet Pastor was employed in a cigar fac- tory in Whitechapel rolling tobacco and earning barely sufficient money to keep body and soul together. She was reared in an atmosphere of ex- treme poverty, but she nevertheless contrived@ to get a smattering of edu- cation in the London public schools, and to supplement her small stock of learning by private stigly. Often she went without food, and once when she bad not eaten for 43 hours she wrote these verses: FEEDING THE SPARROWS. My last crumb I feed to you; I pray the Lord to feed me, too. For I'm so hungry, birdies sweet, 1 And no one gives me bread to eat. The crumbs you pick were laid away From bread I ate ere yesterday. Since when I have not tasted food.

To those—and there are many—who take delight in collecting the humor- ous blunders of librarians we will pre- sent yet another amusing mistake in classification. Recently we came across a catalpgue in which Oscar Wilde's “The Importance pf Being Earnest” was put under the head of “Theology.” The Navy League’s-decision to offer prizes for the study of naval history should please Sir Harry Johnston, who in his recent Moncure Conway address emphasized its importance, more par-. ticularly for naval officers.

They should understand, among other things physics, meterology, hydrostatics, some astronomy and mechanics, chemistry, mathematics, geography, -marine bio- logy, modern history pecially. the naval history of Britain”), ethnology— and be able to “converse freely” in at least nine modern languages! To those who would urge that no individual naval officer could success- fully tackle such a task, Sir Harry re- torts: “Rubbish I am proposing noth- ing more difficult than what I myself had achieved before I was 30, and I am no cleverer than several thousand young men officering the British Navy.” “Alberta,” said the Canadian in blue, naming his home province.

Chronicle. Sir Arthur Lee’s report on.food pro- duction leaves very little doubt that we shall have ample supplies for the whole population during the next twelve months. Since 1916 the acreage under wheat has been increased by 39 per cent., and under potatoes by 50 per cent. There are .large addi- tions to the ground under other crops, and the total gain in tillage area is probably not less than 4000,000 acres. Given an average crop—and there is at, present every reason to anticipate n average harvest—our people should produce wheat and its accessories suf- ificient to provide bread for forty weeks out of the fifty-two of the year. Potatoes there should ‘be in abundance without impoitations. The result will be a saving of a million and a half tons in shipping. The Germans have no prospect of starving us, and the additional shipping available will be extreme]y valuable in bringing over and feeding the A'merican troops.— ‘Westminster Gazette. An American machine-gun unit and French colonial infantry have been relieved -from keeping the Marne bridgehead at Chateau-Thiegry, and covered with the same glory the young and the old Allies have gone down to their respective camps to fill uy their ranks and rest. ‘The Americans set themselves up in a cantonment south of Chateau-Thier- ry. At 3:30 on Friday afternoon the Germans were immediately threaten- ing the town from the hills which sur- round it on the north and north-west. The machine gunners and the colonials were therefore sent across the river, and together they drove the invaders back to the outskirts. At 9 p. m. on Saturday,-the Germans came on agah, under cover of night- fall, from the north-west and along the boulevard beside the Marne. ‘Here they again used a trick that has served them well during this offensive, throw- ing before them grenades which raised thiek clouds of smoke so that no pre- cise aim could be taken till they were at arms’ length. 2 Arrived at the main bridge leading across the Marne to the southern part of the town, it was their turn to suffer a deadly surprise.
