Lansing Says Russia Now Re.
garded as Stronger Than
for Month; Not Worried
Over Riga Advance.
(By Associated Prw.)
Washington, Aug. 25. The United
States reaffirmed today its faith in the
new Russian democracy and gave con
crete evidence of its confidence by
loaning anotIier'?100,0CK),000 to the
provisional government.
Announcement of the loan came
from the Treasury department soon
after Secretary Lansing had denied
formally that reports from Russia
were oi an ur.iavoraDie nature and de
clared that on the contrary confiden
tial dispatches to the government
were the basis for his belief that the
administration at Petrograd was
strengthening its position.
Stronger Than In Month.
''I regard the government of Rus
sia as stronger today than it has been
for a month," Mr. Lansing said. "I
mean in general, both from political
. and military points of view. This
opinion is based upon reports more
or tess confidential that we have been
getting.:
So far as the military situation is
concerned, the secretary indicated
that he felt little concern over the
advance upon Riga by the Germans,
recalling that the place had been
evacuated five times during the war.
Major General Scott, chief-of-staff,
who was a meniber of th ; Root com
mission, agreed that the capture of
Riga would not be an important
strategical loss. A German advance
upon Petrograd from Riga would be
followed by removal of the seat of
government to Moscow, seat of the
conservatives upon whom" the allies
are counting to maintain a firm re
publican government ana the city
looked upon by millions of Russians
as the natural capital of their country.
Wilson Renews Confidence.
In addition to his statement. Sr
retarv Lansing made nuhlir a nnt
he had just sent to Ambassador
bakntnetett, replying to a message of
assurance from Foreign Minister
Tereschtenko, on August 3 and con
veying on behalf of .President Wilson
a renewed expression of sympathy
ana connaence tor the .Russian gov
ernment.
The seeretarv still drllnrf tn aiv

.r.ussia upon wnicn otner omciais ot
tne government have based less opti
mistic views concerning the situation
mere, ne explained that the iiuorma
tion in question should come from

One-Day Strike to Protest
Against Moscow Council
Moscow, Aug. 25. Labor unions
are opposing the Moscow conference
and have announced a one-day strike
in protest. The leaders of the unions
declared the conference to be "coun
ter revolutionary" and that it was
not possible for democratic organi
zations to participate. They regard
the conference as an 'effort to de
ceive the masses. Protest meetings
in various factories and works were
called for today.
Minimalists and social revolution
ists likewise are voicing opposition
and held a meeting in which it was
resolved that the conference was un
representative of the people and an
nouncing in advance that they would
not abide by any decision taken. In
view of the widespread opposition,

ference will sit will be surrounded by
troops throughout the sessions.

Washington, Aug. 25. The fact that
the food administration's grain cor
poration will purchase wheat for mill
ers as well as for the American and
the allied governments was revealed
in a statement issued tonight by the
grain price-fixing committee, headed
by Dr. Hy A. Garfield.
The announcement which explained
the method by which the grain cor
poration will meet its operating ex
penses, told of a plan for furnishing
seed to farmer and set forth that
wheat will be purchased by grades,
follows:
"When announcement is made of a
reasonable price for the 1917 No. 1
northern, spring wheat, the food ad
ministration will, at the same ' tijne,
state the basis on which the grain
corporation will buy the different
grades of wheat in the principal grain
markets.
"The expense of the grain corpora
tion will be met by voluntary fees
paid by the millers and export buy
ers and will not be deducted from the
price fixed.
"The food administration, in co
operation with the Agricultural de
partment, is providing for the estab
lishment ot suitable stocks of seed
wheat which it proposes to sell to
the farmer without any profit.

French Savings Deposits
Exceed the Withdrawals
(Corraipondsnc of Ths Associated Press.)
Paris. July 31. Savings bank de
posits continue to exceed the. with
drawals. Balances to the credit of
depositors have increased more than
70,000,000 francs since the first of the
year.
The joke is on local Red Cross
women. And a little band of women
out in the state are having a good
laugh over it.
Not long age the up-state women
notified local Red Cross headquarters
they had made a quantity of bed socks
which they would send here to be
shipped on to Europe, if it passed cen
sorship at Omaha headquarters.
Miss Abbie Rose, secretary, re
sponded to the letter, impressing
upon the women the strict require
ments ordered by national headquart
ers. "I am sending you a correct sample
of the bed sock," wrote Miss Rose.
When the sample sock arrived, it
did not conform exactly to the kind of
sock the up-state women were mak
ing. "Let us send one of our kind of
socks to Omaha, headquarters and see
if it will pass muster." suggested one
of the women.
This was done.
When the package was received
here, it wat inspected.
"This sock is very poorly made.
We could not dream of passing it,"
said the local censor. "Write them
they must rip out their socks and
make them over again if they are all
like this." .
These instructions had no sooner
been carried out and the letter dis
patched when a special delivery mes
senger entered, bearing a message
from the out-of-town women.
"We have made a mistake. Instead
of sending you one of oir own-made
socks, we have returned you the sani
ply forwarded from Omaha."
Miss Rose and the censor gasped
with amazement, and chagrin. s
But the letter of critique had gone.
There was no recalling it.
Don't ask the local women what
happened wnen their letter was re
ceived out in the state.

My Article Last
Week Evidently iMet
With Disapproval
in Some Quarters.
I have heard it said before that my published
announcements each week do not please certain of
niy professional brethren, and I took it as a gentle
hint that I was treading upon dangerous ground
when I dared criticise established rules and customs
especially if they received the support and in
dorsement of the Powerful DentaLTrust.
It was, therefore, with fear and trembling that
I tackled the question last week, and I frankly
state I did not" intend to defend the old school
method. It was simply my purpose "to try to
identify those who practice it."
I was robbed of that pleasure, however, by those who
rushed forward to identify themselves, in denying the charge
and assuring me that this article "capped the climax," was
'illadvised," "uncalled-for," "exceedingly uncomplimentary
to the profession," etc. and tcrthese self-starting protestants
I can only repeat the words of Marc Antony, "I came to
BURY CAESAR, not to praise him."
i
I am not a man to mince wordsf dodge a question or
shirk a duty. The position taken by certain dentists and that
assumed by myself are as far apart as the poles. Some one
is right, some one is wrong. My "tirade," as it was called
by one of my critics, was simply to clarify the atmosphere
and establish at once and for all time whether the Dental
Trust deserved the title, because of its attempt to force high
prices on the people and stifle competition, or whether I was
entitled to the "honor," because I do dental work at prices
'people like to pay, made competition possible and ADVER
TISED THE FACTT
I frankly stated that the decision should be left to a dis
criminating public, because my patients were prejudiced in
my favor and the Dental Trust was prejudiced against me,
and neither were fair and impartial judges. I am anxiously
awaiting the verdict.
"
One of the conveniences I have given the public is the
opportunity for the business man, working man or woman
to have their dental work done after working hours.
I have arranged to give you the same attention and
treatment evenings until 8 o'clock that you would receive
during the day. Also Sunday hours from 9 to 1 o'clock.
