was warned there vas "urgent necessity
that the people rally to hupport of the
ntl-Russlan executive committee of the

diers. There must be no more demonstra
tions, the resolution declated, without gov
ernmental permission.
The provisional Cabinet today appointed
a special commission to Investigate the
demonstrations.
Admiral Razovozoff was today appointed
In command of the whole Baltic fleet.
Tho significance In the llaltlc fleet, reso
lution lies In tho fnct that It was sailors
from Kronstadt who first started1 the riot

A delegation from Kronstadt arrived to
day bearing a resolution of loyalty from
that fortress to the provisional Govern

The food situation in l'etrograd was

KERENSKY MUST ACT
x QUICKLY TO AVERT
GREAT ARMY DEBACLE
LONDON, July 25.
Premier Kerensky must move fast In his
campaign of merciless extermination of dis
cordant elements In the army or the cave
in of the Russian line In the Tarnopol
Stanlslau sector may be so enlarged by tho
tnemy as to cut off Russia's forces to the
south in the Carpathians.
l'etrograd dispatches today gave n ray
of hope that Kerensky would yet succeed
In rc-formlng tho demoralized regiments.
One encouraging" factor was the evidently
loyalty of Russians on the Carpathian,
Rumanian and Vllna-Dvlns.k battle lines.
Kcrensky's "Blsmarcklan policy" of re
florlng discipline and order, has found Its
first expression In the passage of death
sentences upon n number of mutinous
soldiers nnd , pro-German anarchists, said
a dispatch from l'etrograd today.
Orders havo been Issued to all Russian
army officers to deal with mutinous soldiers
In the sternest possible manner, as Kerensky
Is convinced that drastic measures are
necessary to stop tho defections on the
front.
Proclamations have been posted In
Petrograd, Mohcovv and other Important
cities as well ns on the firing line announc
ing tho new attitude of tho Government to.
ward offenders.
"Kvery person guilty of attempting to
thwart the efforts of tho Government to
restore order and discipline will be adjudged
guilty of treason and dealt with accord
ingly." said tho notice.
Germany evidently planned her Intrigue
to center around Tarnopol, hoping for a
complete breakdown there and penetration
of the Russian lines lor nanKing move
ments In both directions.
Front advices today Indicated that the
Russian nrmles are retreating along a
front pf nearly HO miles from the upper
Kereth River to, the wooded Carpathians
In some places In utter route. In others by
orderly retreat.
Kvacuatlon of Stanlslau by the Russians
was officially admitted by Petrograd. A
'defeat at Mlkullce, bouth of Tarnopol, was
reported by the Russian War Office. Semi
official dispatches told of the heroism of

in which these two Pan-German organs
declared that the Chancellor's speech In the
Reichstag was a repudiation of the policy
of "no annexations." The German radical
and Socialist press now demands that
Mlchaelis irpudlato the assertions of the
two mllltailst organs.
Premier I.loyd George's skepticism re
garding Chancellor Mlchaells's good faith,
his doubts whether the Chancellor's reply
to the Rclchstng resolution leally means
what It pretends to mean, his belief that
tho reference of peace-professing statesmen
to tho security of frontiers, c'ap.ible of being
extended at will to cover the absorption of
Belgium and any other desired annexa
tions, received unexpected Justification nnd
corroboration from German sourco In the
growing frankness of ciltlclsm.
It was declared yesterday that Chan
cellor Mlchaells's speech was ambiguous
and open to two Interpretations which Lloyd
George mentioned It was added that the
policy of silence of political alms adopted
by former Chancellor von Bcthmann-Holl-weg
and continued by llerr Mlc'haells had
laid the German policy open to that dubious
reputo which Lloyd George criticized.
His picture of German parliamentarism
under the formula of Herr Mlchaelis may
be distorted, so It was declared, but It
contains enough truth to serve as a warning
to the German people.
The Berlin Tageblatt reprints the full
text of Llojd George's reply to the Ger
man Chancellor, explaining this Is ndvisable
because remarkable errors of distortion and
nmiulnn lii the sense desired by the Gov
ernment crept Into summaries of earlier
declarations from the opponent camp, which
wero supplied by the seml-olllcl.il Wolff
News Bureau Tho Kreuz Zeltung, under
fire of the ladlcal papers, slightly modified,
but did not revoke, statements about tho
Government's war policy. No official decla
ration was made.
A icmarkably frank article by tho Berlin
correspondent of the National Tldenden,
passed by the Foreign Office censorship,
discusses the seamy side of the submarlno
campaign and the effect it has upon ncu-
trills
U Is generally recognized, he said, that
tho longer the campaign continues, the
fewer friends Germany will have after
the war, This consideration and the
thoughts of many billions which another
Mx months' war would cost ,, two
principal factors which con rlbutcd to
b "glng a majority of the Relc'hstag Into
line upon a bid for immediate peace.
The correspondent says now It Is gen
erally admitted that the effect of the cam
pa"gn has been miscalculated, not regarding
he "mount of tonnage destroyed but a i to
nc time required to mako Us effects felt

convinced that It will succeed ultimately If
given time and they themselves aro able
to hold out.

Summer Travel Brings
Numerous Baggage Losses
The rush, jam, bang of baggage, and increased
traffic congestion with its inevitable chance of loss,
thieves, hotel fires, etc., will make it mighty risky to take
your baggage away without insuring it.
Transportation companies are only liable for your
baggage while in their custody and then only partly
responsible hotels assume little responsibility. In either
case you may recover only a nominal amount, and then
only after vexatious delays and annoyances.
-Why risk a loss a NORTH AMERICA baggage
policy, at very, little cost, will pay you promptly and
insures your baggage and effects wherever they may
be from the moment they leave your home until their
return.
Remember, your chance of loss is' just as great on
a day's trip as it is on a long tour.

The Event of the Furniture Season
Saver
Sale
Tl Vaici
:A,lf5I
WE ARE PREPARED and it would indeed be hard to
find three words of wider significance. Prepared
ness in America's great furniture house means the
ultimate of achievement, both along the lines of artistry and
practicability in the making and selection of furniture and
furnishings, and service and saving in marketing of them.
For months our organization has been preparing for this
event. Anticipating a continued rise in cost of materials and
labor, contracts were made far in advance and, as has always
been our practice, our patrons will reap the benefit of our
forchandedness.
"The Fairyland of Furniture" is an apt description of
our Store on this, the eve of the first Inspection Day. Many
of the exquisite suites and pieces shown are exclusive to this
Store nnd all the Period designs are represented in this vast
array of Mahogany, American Walnut, Oak, Ivory Enamel,
Black Lacquer and all the popular woods in their different fin
ishes. Floor coverings, too, arc an important feature of the
Sale, and a stock of Rugs and Carpets alone, approximating
half a million dollars, assures the most comprehensive selec
tion and price range.
And, in addition to offering you an unparalleled selec
