Tarls. July D. The visit of Kerensky to Paris has not so far proved to be a ery striking suc- cess. It Is generally felt here that the i Russian ex-dictator can only now be looked upon ns a back number, and French opinion inclines to the view that not much Is to be expected from a man who failed to utterly to take advantage of the splendid opportunity offered him a few months ago, when he had all Rus sia at his call. The result Is that, as the Temps re marks, although Kerensky is here, neither Paris nor the nation is showing Itself very much excited at his presence. Kerensky has made tho mistake, as the Journal points out, of regarding every thing In this country that Is not revolu-tloary-sociallstls as nonexistent. "Since he came to Paris." &ays the paper, "he has consistently referred to the middle classes with a scorn which can scarcely be described He has made a practice of declining to meet ordinary republicans and even socialist-radicals. He declines to confer with anybody ex cept pure-blooded Internationalists. Yet ire is supposed to have come here to plead for help from France and her allies In reconstituting Russia as a nation. "By what fresh aberration does he imagine that the revolutionary- social ists have tho right to speak for France and her allies? Does he think that this method he affects of separating the good grain from the rubbish is consistent with his self-Imposed mission? Does he think that this attitude reveals him as an able politician? "When he sees Wilson, will Kerensky explain to him what precautions he, has taken In order to avoid meeting all but an Infinite minority in our country? Will he adopt the same tactics in America and treat the revolutionary socialists there as the only people worthy of him? Will he confess that he has been rather coldly received by our socialist party, which In matters of foreign policy Is still Inspired by Karl Marx?" The Temps says that Kerensky's visit could hardly have been less fruitful If he had confined his meetings to non socialist Frenchmen. His own ch&sen socialist friends have asked him seeral very awkward questions. Among them, they wanted to know why he allowed the order to be Issued which suppressed all discipline and resulted In the prac tical abandonment of the Russian army. They asked also why ho had allowed Ienlne to come back to Russia, and to travel from Switzerland In a special train supplied by Germany, and why he did nnt slmnrpttd trpnEnn Ti'hpn It Wamn vl. 4ant ,V.n , 1, a T7n1sV A.'ll laniA-v, n A "!n ' man spies were In collusion Further, h,e. was asked why did he throw Komi loff overboard. These are questions, says the Temps, that come Into the mind of any man speaking of Kerenskv and which he must answer or be discredited. The Temps dis misses Kerensky as a man of words and nothing else, and complains bitterly that although the ex-dictator loudly asserted at Moscow that he would put down In discipline and treason with Are and sword he subsequently allowed treachery to be accomplished, with the result that the only sufferers from fire and sword i have been France and her allies. i&iivzA - MA - - izx vJAiiitf.tit-iii.

Tour correspondent learns from a high source that the campaign to mislead the German people as to America's part In the war has been so persistently car- rled out that the masses now refuse to believe that the American people arc i taking any real part in the war When more enlightened individuals try to con vince them of the facts, they Insist that President Wilson has forced Americans to the small accomplishments that ate admitted, and that the latter are really opposed to war with Germany Most Germans still believe that there are only a few thousand Americans In France, and that these forces are In the nature of a bluff American airplanes are said to be cheap and poorly made. The forelgin minister's speech is still causing some comment, but tho people at l.ssen and In other munition centers hao paid little attention to It. They are mostly too Ignorant to understand polities', and their bosses tell them that the big offensive Is coming off and the .war will end soon. Tho question of clothes has long since become serious, but now there is even difficulty In getting paper garments. Half the population has been reduced to wearing them, and the materials used for making paper are getting very scarce. The poor are terribly In want of clothes, and In Wurzburg children have been go ing to school without shirts while women are sometimes unable to go to work for lack of covering. Out of 17,000 German shoe factories, only 300 were working In March, and many of these for the army. Even wooden soles arc a luxury nowa days.

Petrograd, June 29. (Dispatch to the London Dally Express). The latest stage reached by the Bol shevist Utopia reads like a fairy tale or a tidbit of news from nowhere, but In, Russia the truth is stranger than fiction. Trotsky's recent report on the situa tion of the republic Is causing comment and apprehension among all classes of the public. He Is again harping on the holy war Idea, raying that the safety of the Soviets and the republic depends on penerat conscription. But according to him It is Inadvlsahle to call the younger members of the bourgeoisie to arms, as. Instead of fighting the dark forces of capital and exploitation, these naturally would want to fight the proletariat. The fertile Bolshevik mind hns found a way out of the dilemma by Imposing on the members of tho bourgeoisie, old and young, "light" duties for home and domestic defense, such as cleaning out barracks and camps, street scavenging and digging trenches. The humor of the whole buslnesss lies In the announce ment that bourgeoisie units who are showing more than ordinary zeal will he promoted from fatigue duty to real sol diering In the Soclallut armv. Shirkers, conscientious objectors and those falling to enlist are to he fined from MBO to 550. non instead of helng placed In con centration camps, and the strictest su pervision Is to be established over drones, mrasites and those not engaged in use ful work.

INDEPENDENCE DAY celebrations over tho whole world and President Wilson's ppcech aro occupying, consider able space In tho German press. Com menting on the speech the Frankfurter Keltung asserts that what Mr. Wilson' says about tho conditions Jtnder which a lasting peace could be concluded Is so general that much Is still to be done before the war can be really ended. Behind his phrases, the paper says, hides an Idea directed against Germany, and even If the beautiful principles he enun ciated are meant honestly, then It must Iks assumed that Wilson not only wishes to dominate the Central Powers, hut also tho Entente. The paper asks whether America Intends to maintain this ascendency and tn Insure It hv n durable peace, tf so. It points out, these demands will have the effect of fettering Germany and will be In contradiction to Mr. Wilson's proclaimed principles. ine vorwaerts says that Wilson's and Winston Churchill's speeches, will not help peace. It says the German people do not agree with these two statesmen that the war must bo finished on the battlefields, and ndds that assurance that the war Is waged against the Ger man Government and not against the people has been often enough repeated. but that it does not stop the people from surrering from me Government. , The annexationist Kollnsche Volkszef- tung gives a summary of the sneech nnd says It brings up no new point of view. out that Vllsons manner of putting America's political alms under the guise of freedom and humanity Is revolting. It adds: "He Is a New Englander, and like Cromwell, argues and excuses the bloodiest acts with Bible quotations." Speaks of Tarring and Feathering Like most of Its contemporaries, the paper refers to tarring and feathering tn America, and says: "Hypocrisy and brutality, your name is Wilson!" "Europe must continue to bathe In a sea of blood for the fortunes of the trust kings, for new milliards, and to satisfy the political and economical lust for supremacy of the Yankees." The annexationist Rhelnische Qazetle says Wilsons speech is weaker than eer, and that his program Is as vague as possible, only consisting of phrases, old sounding phrases about Interna tional right, laws of Justice and human ity, without any sequence of ideas. Good old Washington would turn In his grave If he could hear how his sad successor In the President's chair falsifies history and put the alms of the union In the same rank as truth, humanity, prin ciples and ldealr. Schoolmaster Wilson wishes to learn history, but only shows the mirror of his Incapable statesman ship and hypocrisy. Tho Tageblatt says that Wilson has again put forward his four conditions in the same hazy way as all modern statesmen. They are vague, says the paper, and ono tries to get at the speaker's meaning through haze. "From the first condition one may gather the wish to restrict armaments, which vc share. The second refer3 to self-determination and disavows annexations and oppression and could be signed bj' all averse to annexations and oppression." Alio Approves Third Taint The paper also approves the third point, and says the fourth Is a demand supported by the majority party, "so that In these conditions there Is tn reality no obstacle to peace, but as Wil son speaks of the fight of life and death he should know that Germany is lively and full of life." "Yankee Doodle" Is the title given to an article In the Welser Zeltung on tho celebration of Independence Day. "Under the shrill cries of 'Yankee Doodle,' " the paper says, "the free but unenlightened -people of America talk themselves Into a feverish war enthusi asm. In the western districts, where they are not fond ot woods and prefer daring deeds, those fond of the sport of lynchings are having a good time. There Is a short report to the ladles and gentlemen that neighbor Smith spoke In German to neighbor Muller. This suffices and the unfortunate citi zens are forced to kiss the flag and buy a few hundred dollars' worth of loan." The paper says that ten persons have been tarred and feathered In Michigan, "and In this inhuman but harmless way the enlightened people of America fight Prussian militarism."

He says that oceans aro nothing when It is a question of commerce and communication, adding: "Our modern gray ships cross In a few days, but mili tarily the whole American continent from Hudson Bay to Cape Horn remains as Isolated and unreachable as ever." The writer argues that Washington was right In speaking of "the detached, distant, peculiar" position of the United States "If the Americans are cele brating Independence Day, they are ly ing to themselves," he says, "and as burnt rockets fall about the Washington Monument and the White House garden, so Americans will one day say to Wil son: 'He went up like a rocket and came down like a stick.' He promised everything and kept no promise. His words were big, but his horizon lim ited." The Lokal Anzejger says Independence Day gave America.
