Under Existing Conditions Rus

Strong Enough to Control Has
Yet Grasped the Russian
Helm—None But a Dictator
Can Restore Discipline and
Stir Russian Troops Into a Re
newal of the Offensive.
(By WllUaip G. Shepherd, United
Press BUff Correspondent.)
Petrograd, June 8.—Russia to
hanging ft the balance between
esarism and mebiim. America
and the allies must faee the fact
squarely. Under preeent condi
tions Runts trill not fight
Conditions may change. There 1a
a possibility that order may come out
of tho governmental chaos. There to
nothing today to indicate its ap
proach. No man strong enough to
control has yet grasped the Russian
helm. Minister of War Kerensky, on
whom hope ha. centered, is, despite
ill-health working day and night, but
even his speeches and Interviews have
within the past week sounded a note
of pessimism.. ;
A meeting Of bankers and business
men today cryatallxad the first reac
tion against mefc rule. Five hundred
conservative men, unallied with the
autocratic regime were than. At
tendance wu by card only. The meet
ing was bald in the offices of a bank.
8everal of those there wart titled.
The sense of the meeting-waa voiced
by a speaker in the declaration, “we
were formerly mastered by exariam;
now it is mabism that masters ua.”
NO MAN DARES TAKE LEAD.
Nona but a dictator can now re
store discipline and stir tha Ruasian
troops into a renewed offensive. No
man has yet dared assume tha power.
Tha workmen’s and soldiers’ council
absolutely dominates the situation.
President Tscheldte with hie col
leagues are tha collective masters of
Jtaiaia. They openly declare the pres
ent war is “Imperialistic.” Attempts
to convert them to the idea that Rus
sia roust fight German autocracy to
retain the new democracy hare nave
failed.
They will oppose Ruzita’g fighting
participation until what they term the
allies’ “imperialistic” aims are aban
doned. They insist that publication
of allied peace aims free from Impe
rialistic demands would bring Imme
diate peace. They fumleh no ex
planation for'their belief that Ger
many will abandon her own imperial-
title aims.
Minister of War Kerensky’, health
la vary bad. The magnitude of hie
task la plainly wearing down his
fighting force. A recent speech .fas.'
fore the workmen’s and soldiers’ coun
cil on hie return from tho front be
trayed this fact.
“It it vary difficult to mako the
army strong.” b* raid, “because it is
tired and sinister elements are work
lor there. Soma regiments hava act

The members of the Cobb-Deloney
Camp of Confederate Veterans who
attended the reunion held in Wash
ington, D. C., have returned to the
city. They report that they nad a
f treat time and that the decorations
n that city were the Met that they
had ever seen at a reunion.. They
stated that the city waa hot prepared
to take care of . the ekcepUonaily
Urge number of the veteran, as at
tended the meeting and that they
were inconvenienced a great dsal.
MR. WALTON TALKS- ■
In a folk with a Herald reporter
this morning Mr. W. H. H. Walton,
ope of the sight members of the
Cobb-Deloney camp to attend the re
stated that the men to grey were
not accorded the conveniences In
Washington which thoy ha it been
used to and that the city was not pre
pared to tsko care of them.
Mr. Walton stated that the city of
Washington had only prepared to
take caro of about 6,000 vetrans and
that there were more ban 10,000 of
the old lighten on hand when the reg
istration waa taken. He alx stated
that the city did not know how to
look after the men and that the san
itary conditions were not what they
should be.
THE REGISTRATION. ■
He stated that instead of having
the veterani registered according to
states and in alphabetical order, all
of the men who had friends in other
states had to check up the whole list
of namy in order to find the one for
which he was looking. Ho said that
the people in the public and govern
ment buildings changed an admission
price of 25 cents to go through she
buildings and that they had to go
and get Congressman Brand to take
them through these buildings. When
they reported to' him that an admis
sion was being charged he went
with them and saw that all of them
were admitted without charge.
NO INFORMATION BUREAU.
He further stated that there waa
no bureau of information for the vet-
arena and that they were unable to
find anything until they complained
pf the conditions to tha offleere In
charge. He said that there had bean
tents fnrnlahed for about 6,000 of
the men, but that tha others were
pelted to pay hotel bills and
other incidental!.
He stated that there were two bar
rels of lea water placed on tho camp
ground for the 10,000 men and that
then were not placed, there until a
complaint had been made.
BLUE DID NOT MIX.
Mr. Walton stated that the reports
that the blue and grey mixed during
the reunion waa untrue. He said
that he went there with the intention
of being civil to the men of the blue,
but that the report had been circu
lated that the union veterans were
not to mingle with those of the con-
federacy. He said that the union
men did not participate ft any of tho
activities of the rtunion.

(By United Press.)
.Washington, D. C., June 8.—An im
portant section of the central business
part of San Salvador was destroyed,
tha American legation building was

city property apparently made un
tenable by an earthquake, fire and

Lon’s message, undated, apparently
was sent last night. It reported Se
van earthquakes from 6:36 p. m. to
8:46 when the volcano of San Sal
vador began to belch forth fife and
tmoke toward Quetzaltopeque.
One final aevere shock was. fol
lowed by decreasing tremors. t
Dry ashes fell in a steady stream
over tho city. Long said the fire
in the business section seemed to be
under control at the time his message
was sent. No deaths had been re
ported at that time and all legation
records were reported safe.
The seismograph at’ Georgetown
University early registered “severe"
earthquake shocks, presumably at a
distance of 2,000 miles from here." The

Up to United States to Land
Knockout Blow to German
Militarism — Washington Is
Given Jolt by Frank Admis
sion of Foremost Military
Critics That Plan of Allies’ Of
fensive Has Been Completely
Upset by Russian Upheaval.
(By J.. P. Yoder. United Press Stsff
Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C., June 8.—
Hope of an allied victory in 191?
haa gone, according to beat in*
formed government officials.
Frank admiaMion waa made today
that American plana are being
predicated upon the probability
of at leant three yearn of war.
Conceit haa given way to concep*
tion of the aize of the job that
haa been put up to the United
Staten, the landing of the knock
out blow to German utilitarian.
The frank admiaaion of the fore
most British military critics made
within the past few days that the en*
tire plan of the allies offensive have
been completely upset by the Rus
sian upheaval hat given Washington
a Jolt In some quarters ft hat de
veloped the most intense pessimism.
In others, especially among some
members of the Council of National
Defense, there is a feeling of relief
that deception has given way to
frankness and that the American na
tion has at last been permitted to
face the cold fact that the success or
the failure of the allied cause is
squarely up to the United States.
UNITED STATES DRUGGED.
Among a number of the strongest
men in Washington, some members
of the government and other business
men giving their time and service to
winning the war, the feeling is
strong that public opinion in the
Unitwl States has been chloroformed
and facts withheld, knowledge of
which must become general before
successful mobilization of the entire
resources can be accomplished.
The feeling is developing that the
Importance of the American military
participation alone has been over
emphasized. The big lesson taught
by Europe, it is said, that war is no
longer made by armies; it is made*
by entire nations; it is made by the
coordnated forces of capital and la
bor, agriculture and industry, each
sacrificing private gain, individual
and personal advantage with the
same willingness that the military
sacrifices its blood ttbd its lives.
It is no longer a secret that as an
offensive factor, Russia has collapsed,
is out of the military plans for a
year at least, more probably for
good. Nothing but the rise of a Rub-
