RUSSIAN LABOR TO
PROSECUTE WAR
"Liberty and Victory" Now Is
Cry of People in the
Streets
Hy Associated Press
IVtrugrsd, March 28, via London,
March 29. —A declaration in support
of the war has been Issued by a com
mittee of worklngtnen, soldiers and
deputies, which apparently repreSepts
(lie sober conclusion which the masses
of the population have reached, after
being swayed this way and that by the
turbulent currents and cross-currents
which swept through the country in
the first days of the revolution. This
conclusion is that liberty and victory
over the Germafis are Inseparable arid
that the responsibility for plunging
Europe into war rests on the Hohenzol
lern family and Prussian Imperialistic
ambitions.
The tendency is to regard the war
tio longer as a struggle between na
tions, but as one between the new
Spirit of democracy and the old spirit
of imperialism. The people are eagerly
desirous of Deace, but are ready to de
vote redoubled energy to war if that
is the on)v way of achieving it. Even
the dissentient voice of the extreme
imperialist element, which at first
openly declared itself against war and
counseled the soldiers to lay down
their arms lias been drowned In the
universal cry that the struggle must
continue.
The result of this broader under
standing of the object for which the
country Is fighting has been to bring
the extreme radicals into unison with
the rest of the country. Reassuring
reoorts of the visit of Minister of
War Guchkoff to the front continue to
be received. Everywhere the army re
sponded with the greatest enthusiasm
to these appeals and declared itself
ready to continue fighting until the
end. The same spirit is manifested in
Petrograd where there are daily pro
cessions cf troops carrying banners in
scribed: "Liberty and Victory."

[Continued Kroni First Page]
tive committee is at work on de
tails in Philadelphia, Governor
Hrumbaugh and officials of the
State Government are arranging
to place at the disposal of Chair
man George Wharton Pepper and
his committeee the assistance of
the department of Capitol Hill.
The Governor telegraphed to the
President the pledge of support by the
committee ahd announced the ad
dition of ex-Governors Edwin 8. Stuart
und Tener to the committee. Ho also
sent to Chairman Pepper some, sug
gestions lo organize committees 0:1
food supply and geological resources
and to select men representing the
State Grange, organized labor and
scientific bodies 01 the State.
Plans were made to-day for fhe
Governor and his military staff to at
tend the great patriotic mass meeting
In Philadelphia on Sathi'day at which
the chief city of the State tfill pledge
Its loyalty.
Cnfler authority conferred upon him
Governor Brumbaugh announced to
day that he proposed to organize S4
sub-committees of public safety In us
many sections of the State, remarking
that he planned to organize "every
inch of ground and every man, woman
and child."
Governor's Suggest ions
The Governors suggestions to Mr.
Pepper were as follows:
"After thinking over the actions of
yesterday, J am altogether pleased
with the general outcome and believe
that we have gone a long way in ail
effective organisation for real and sub
stantial good. Might I suggest the
wisdom now of securing Some initial
fund by appeal to the members of this
commission, that will enable us im
mediately to put a staff of trained
workers, which 1 have assembled anil
have ready, lor action, into the field
to begin this industrial inventory'.'
"There are at least two additional
organizations that ought to be prompt
ly recognized in the scheme or organ
ization for our committee on Public
Safety, (1), a committee on agricul
tural products and food supply, and
(2), a committee on geological re
sources, having in mind all the mineral
deposits of Pennsylvania that might
be available and necessary in a crisis.
"We ought in connection with these
two matters to secure the hearty co
operation of the State Grange and
labor organizations and the scientific
bodies of the State, and I shall have in
mind the naming of men to the com
mittee representative of these inter
ests."
The executive committee will take
into consideration at once the project
to put the AViliam Penn and the Lin
coln highways across the State in con
dition for military purposes.
To Safegtulrd Food Supply
One of the things to Which the Gov
ernor is giving special attention is the
discussion of the food supply, mobili
zation of agricultural resources in
other Words. This was brought to the
attention of the meeting yesterday by
Commissioner of Health Dixon and
President E. 13. Sparks of State Col
lege, who said that every effort should
be made to turn the fields of the State
into poductiveness to Jneat the food
Situation.
Dr. Dixon, who is a practical farm
er, among him varied activities, said
to-day that he considered this to be a
matter of prime importance and he
suggested that It be brought to atten
tion of every farmer and land owner.
State Treasurer Y'jung said this af
ternoon that he considered that a sub
ject which should be given immediate
attention by people conversant with
the situation. "The meeting was a
wonderful one, one which 1 shall
never forget. I never knew of such
a gathering or of such united senti
ment," said the Treasurer In speaking
of it.
Patton's Call to Arms
Secretary of Agriculture Patton this
afternoon took steps to call to atten
tion of the farmers and merchants and
housewives of the State the food situ
ation, urging that not only should
everything be raised that could be
grown, but that it should be preserved.
He called attention to the shortage of
food which is in prospect and to the
prices prevailing. The canned goods
supply, he said, will soon be exhaust
ed and everyone should guard against
it.
Mr. Patton has had his crop re
porters and statisticians at work for
weeks getting information o ntlie situ
ation in regard to food and set forth
his views in the following statement
issued late to-day:
The Governor's telegram to the
President was as follows:
A committee of Public Safety
for Pennsylvania, made up of over
two hundred representative and
influential citizens met here yes
terday on invitation of the Gov
ernor and pledged their services
to organize Pennsylvania for com
plete preparedness and to support
the National government in every
patriotic endeavor.
The Governor issued this statemtnt
I find that through inadvertence
Edwin S. Stuart and John K.
Tener, ex-Governors of this Com
monwealth, were not appointed on
the State Committee of Public
Safety for Pennsylvania. Ex-Gov
ernor William A. Stone would
have been appointed on this com
mittee were it not for the fact that
his judicial position exonerates
him from holding such a position.
A Wonderful Meeting
People who saw the meeting yester
day joined with Governor Brumbaugh,
State Treasurer Young, Commissioner
Dixon and others In praising the
splendid sentiment in behalf of mo
bilizing the manhood and resources
of the Commonwealth to meet the
shock of war. The Governor said that
he considered the meeting one of the
most remarkable ever held in he State
and that he appreciated the sacri
fices made by captains of business in
coming here and what they offered to
do.
"It wll get the great business sys
tem of this State behind the movement
for preparedness and place the State
In the rank it has always taken In
every national emergency," said the
Governor. "I have been thfilled by
the spirit manifested at the meeting
and expect great good to result not
oftly in the event of war, but for the
future to come from it. Important
matters were brought up on which t' e
people will think."
Food, !{<m<N and Labor
It is likely that serious attention will
be given at once to the food supply
problem tnd to-day Highway Com
missioner Black discussed with the
Governor plans to push the work of
repair on the main highways, notably
in agricultural regions so that things
needed could be brought to market
as soon as available.
The employment bureau of the De
partment of Labor and Industry Was
brought Into the pr¶tdry work
to-day and its reoords of persons seek
ing work and the Centers where men
and wtjmen Who are fatnillar With cer
tain lines of work are to be located.
Consultations will be held wlthh la
bor representatives so that the skilled
and unskilled men may be listed and
be prepared for the calls which may
come because of emergency in trans
portation, construction or repair. Or
ganized labor representatives have
pledKed to the Governor their co-op
eration with the committee.
The Governor's office was in touch
with men all over the State to-flay in
the effort to get names of men -who
could -be called upon- to servo OD-<;QJ
mlftees or who could give specialized
assistance.

On March 7 a British column was
reported within forty-ciglit miles of
Jerusalem at K1 Chnlil, or Hebron,
about thirty-five miles inland. This
column has evidently been supported
by a stronger army, advancing up the
Mediterranean coast, where It can be

The coast army, moving northward
from Rafa, bas pushed up the Medi

Gaza, the historic town of Bible times.
