The outstanding feature of today's pro
ceedings at the labor conference was
Arthur Henderson's explanation con
cerning the reason for the appearance of
Alexander F. Kerensky, the former Rus
sian Premier, In the debating hall.
Henderson spoke In an atmosphere
hally charged with electricity. There
had been earlier In the afternoon a quick
passage at arms between some of the
lfrart oc!table delegates and the chair
man W. P. Purdy. who had onty suc-
.ceedid with difficulty In calming the
tumult. Mr M'urciy nan Deen cuimioucu
In the processMo speak ceverely to two
uf the women representatives at the con
ference
A diplomatic reference was made by
Hepdorton to a sllgnt misunaersiana
lng with regard to their, "friend Ker
cnky." He had decided, he said, to
tiike the whole of the responsibility In
the mutter. During his visit to Russia,
ho had been brought Into personal con
t'd v Ith Kerensky and had learned to
nrtml"1 him.
(Xrupt!on broke out again at this
pu.nt from the gallery, where a man
"an heard to shout excitedly several
rentences, pointing his finger at Hender-tort.
The, rVinlrman asked the interrupter to i u, ' -, ...v.,, them t i-iciiavn

will shortly join you in the fight for the
great cause of freedom." (Cheers.)
perance-at kWenrtay:B''labor confer
ence in -London:
"It was In the midst of a brlW d.
bate that Kerensky, accompanied by an
interpreter and On or two other gentle
men, walked quickly along the front of
the platform toward the president, who
had, some little time before he arrived,
poured scorn upon the terms of peace
Imposed by Germany Upon Russia and
Rumania, A cordial greeting extended
to the visitor by Henderson was the first
Intimation to ths conference that a per
son of exceptional distinction had ar
rived, and when Henderson presented
him to the president with every mark of
honor there was a thunderous cheer,
Eome of the delegates perhaps concluding
that the forbidden guest from Holland
(Troelstra) hao somehow or other
evaded the prohibition against him.
Cheers for Kerensky
When Henderson at last called out
"Kerensky," however, the cheer was re
peated even more thunderously and pro
longed for a minute or two. ,
Slight, almost school-boyish, dressed
In severest black, Kerensky Impressed
the assembly by his grave and even pa.
thetlo demeanor, and when he started
to speaki without any Introduction, there
was absolute silence. He spoke In Rus
slan, and his first word. "Comrades,"
rang out like a military command.
Though there was no gesture whatever,
his hands resting Immovably through
out en the table, his speech was deliv
ered with feeling and emphasis and the
Interpreter obviously found difficulty In
conveying to the audience more than the
barest outline of what Was said.
"Comrades," Kerensky exclaimed, "I
am very much Impressed with the re
ception accorded me. I do not take It
as an expression of sympathy toward
myself. I take it as an expression of
sympathy toward the Russian democ
racy (cheers) the Russian democracy
that Is suffering, that Is going on with
its fight for Ideals dear to all of you. I
come here straight from Moscow, and I
feel It my duty as a statesman and my
duty as a man and as a politician, a
moral duty, to tell you English people
and the people of the whole world that
the Russian people, tne Russian democ
racy, are fighting against tyranny and
nre going to fight to the end. (Cheers.)
One can break the Russian people.

Henderson said that two days before

Kerensky was In London and that he
afterward receives an invitation to
visit him He Invited Kerensky to at
tend the" conference and the committee
unanimously accepted the suggestion
that Ke should not speak as a delegate,
but. as a visitor.
The conference was reminded by the
speaker that although many delegates
disagreed with Litvinoft, he was permit
ted in a spirit of toleration and fair play
to address the xouingnam conierence.

Is It too much." asked Henderson, cusslon upon the party truce was re-
"to exnect that wo should give Kerensky
a similar hearing?'
By a spoken vote on the previous day,
he continued, the chairman understood,
that they wished Kerensky to speak.
If necessary the question would be sub
mitted again and even .a card vote
taken. '
"This will be done," Henderson af
firmed resolutely, "rather than that
Kerensky should be brought on this
platform and subjected to insult or hu
miliation." A forest of hands shot up in favor
of hearing Kerensky. Only four dele
gates voted against, and there were
rounds of cheering, amid which one of
the irrepressible women delegates, who
had attempted' to speak early in the
afternoon again rose. A hearing was

Kerensky then addressed the meeting
In Russian. He said the question had
been asked as to his right to be present.
He would reply that he was present not
ns a matter of right, but as a matter of
duty. The fnte of Russia waa Inextric
ably Interwoven with the most vital in
terests of tho countries, and It was
his right as a man to come and tell
them something of the Internal and ex

fate of a country which In the first days
of the war fought nlong a front the
length of which was greater than all the
allied Tronts put together could not on

future of the allied countries.

The deflnlto decision of the Paris
Municipal Council to rename the Avenue
du Trocadcro the Avenue du President
Wilson ha given intense satisfaction
to the American colony, many of the
members of which live In the district
traversed by the avenue, one of the
finest In the west end of Paris, situated
between the Etollc and tho river and
bordering the Champs Elysccs quarter.
The avenue has a length close to three
'quarters of a mile and a breadth of 250
feet. It Is shaded with a double row, of
trees and is lined by some of the finest
residence property In Paris.
The thoroughfare runs from the.
Trocadero Palace at Passy, where most
of the great concerts are held, to the
Place de l'Alma, In the avenue of which
name stands the American Church.
About midway the avenue crosses the
Place d'lena and passes the fine eques
trian statue of Washington, which oc
cupies the center of the place. Close
by Is the chancery of the American
Embassy. The Paris headquarters of
the American navy, the American avia
tion depot, the Y, M. C. A., and the
American Clearing Housp, which occu
pies the fine residence formerly occu
pied by Ambassador Herrlck, all either
abut on Wilson avenue or are close by.
Hundreds of Americans live all around.
The avenue received its former name
to commemorate the capture from the
Spanish In 1823 of the Trocadero fort,
the fall of which brought about the
capitulation of Cadiz.
PERCIN URGES ALLIES
TO SAVE MUNITIONS
U. S. Supplying Less Steel.
Wants Smaller Guns Used
by Armies
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copvrioht, 1911, by Xew York Times Co.
Paris, June 28.
General Percin, who. commanded the
Lille military district at the beginning
of the war, and s regarded as one of
the leading military experts of France,
emphasizes the adylsabllty'( of econo
mizing as much as possible the con
sumption of munitions In" view of the
fact that America Is now rurnsh!ng
less and less steel, 'owing to'the neces
sity of sending her troops abroad.
Before tne war, no points out, Ger
many produced four times more steel
than France, but now. plnce she has
seized the French Industrial plants In
the north, she is producing fifteen times
as much and possesses1 460 blaBt fur
naces against thirty In 'France.
As a means of economizing steel, he
urges the greater usiNof weapons like
the Archer gun. Instead of heavy ar
tillery". The Archer gun, says General
Percin, at a range of (00 yards, will hit
a target forty times as often as a six
inch gun, firing at four-mile range. As
the bomb fired by the Archer gun rep
resents only half the weight of steel,
whila containing about the same quan
tity of explosive, It la evident, he says'.
that such guns proquce tne sarne de
structive effect-wlth one-eightieth of the
quantity of Bteel.
On this basis. General Percin argues
that the destruction of 375 miles of
trenches by Archer guns would cost
only 6.000,000 pounds, as compared with
480,000,000 pound by heavy artillery.
The necessary steel, he asserts, could
be produced In a week, which Is indus
trially possible, instead of two years,
which Is industrially Impossible.
General Percin argues that small
guns should be used for the work of

Farls, June 28.
Joseph Koffman, who recently arrhed
In Paris from Russia, brings fresh evi
dence to Russian ofllclal circles In
France of not only the need but the
desire of the Russian people for Inter
vention by the Aliles. He is himself a
member of the Socialist Democratic
party in Russia and has been studying
conditions In Moscow and elsewhere since
the beginning of the first revolution.
"It is impossible," ho said, "to give
accurate figures as to the size of the
various groups in Russia, but, dividing
the country on the now chief question of
intervention, it may be said with absolute
truth that the only people In Russia
today opposed to Intervention are a
small group of large landed pro-German
proprietors and bourgeoisie and the
rapidly dwindling group of Bolshevlkl
still being used by tho Germans. The
rest of Russia wants to bo saved from
the present chaos by outside interests.
"So keen is the desire for such aid that
Intervention by Japanese troops alone
would be considered better than no in
tervention at all. if Russia understood
that Japan camo as the representative of
tne Allies, nut, of course, the Ideal plan
from the Russian point of view would lie
an expedition composed of American and
Japanese troops, with some French and
British.
"Not more than a hundred thousand
troops would be needed all told. These
would serve as tho required nucleus
about which to organize an effective Rus
sian army. Two million Russians would
volunteer for service In auoli an army
to drive out the German Invaders. The
first good effects of such Intervention
would be felt Immediately and In six
months Russian military effectiveness
would be fully restored In ample time
to aid the Allies on the eastern front
next spring. If the war .continues that
long.
"The Bolshevlkl are a rapidly dwin
dling element of tho Russian population.
They have no power or Influence left
except In certain restricted regions where
the Germans are using them to prepare
such regions for invasion. As soon as
the Germans-actually take possession of
a given section they have no further use
for the Bolshevlkl there. Thousands of
Bolshevlkl have been shot" by 'the Ger
mans. Other thousands have been driven
out. On the other hand, the peasants
no longer have confidence In the Bol
shevlkl and abandon them.
"At first the Bolshevlkl won the peas
ants by promising two things peace and
restoration of the land. Since then the
peasants have obtained the land for
themselves without the help of the Bol
shevlkl and they have no, illusion about
gratitude for a service never, rendered.
Furthermore, the Bolshevlkl, Instead of
bringing peace, have brought the Ger
mans. The peasants now want to end
anarchy that they may enjoy possession
of the land already obtained, but are
willing to fight the German Invaders
f to save that land.
"So far as the distribution of land Is
concerned, the object of the first revolu
tion has been already attained. Now
the Russian people want orderly govern
ment to secure them In their new pos
sessions and care little what form gov
ernment takes so long as It is stable and
permanent."

London, June 28. Speaking of

Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger

rarli, June 28.
Paris and the surrounding departments
of the Seine have been transferred to the
army zone. The change In no way Im
plies that Paris Is regarded as In greater
danger, nor Is It equivalent to the impo
sition of martial law, as would1 be the
case under the state of siege In which
Paris found herself in 19H.
At the same time the military gov
ernor of Paris has now taken the place
of .the civil authorities"1 as a superior
authority in the cltj. and will execute
with entire Independence the orders re
ceived from the supreme government. In
other words, Paris and the surrounding
communes are now placed directly under
the authority of the military governors.
For civilians, the technical change will
have no Immediate consequences and life
will go on exactly as before.
A special consequence of the new re
gime is that officers belonelnr tr, th.
Paris garrison will henceforward benefit
jrom me same advantages and provi
sions as combatant officers in the army
zone proper, which means a certain In
crease In pay and allowances;
The change.also Involves much stricter
attention being paid to rank and ex
emption badges, which will simplify the
work of dealing with suspects, while
stricter control can now be exercised
over the movement of those desiring to
enter or leave the city.
