^ RUSSIA IS CRYING FOR AW Kew Democracy Thought to Be Hi Desperate Condition?I*. S. Rush Relief By D. M. Edwards Washington. Aug. 23.?Russia's sit 1 nation alarmed official Washington to | day. ~ iL She needs help. The United State: |1 "will rush first aid to the new demo * cracy at once. * At the reauest of the Russian mis ^ sion, Edawrd X. Hurley, chairman o { the United States shipping board, ha: 5 eet aside three large vessels to b. | sent to Archangel. Other vessei: [ "will follow as soon as can possibly tx arranged for. The exact tonnage, o the nature of these vessels, was no disclosed. Every effort will be mad* to boost up the Russian situation, sc fas as can be remedied by suppllc: from this country. Archangel is the new Russia por on the Arctic ocean. But it closes v transportation towards the end o: October or middle of November. It If understood that there are now plleC up at the port more than 300,000 ton* of supplies for the Russian troop3 An enormous amount of tonnage wii . be required to move this. The railroads are choked. Whether the relief is to be effected by use of rivei Teasels and other small tonnage craft obtained on the other side oould ncri be obtained tonight. B-ut it is agreed generally that Rus ?ia's greatest needs today are ot transportation. She has the manpower, she has the equipment, bn; she can not move it. The Trans-Siiberian railroad i9 reported congested from end to end. It can hardly move troops, much less supplies. Thf same is true of the railroad running to the Arctic port. Russia, long ago, christened "tn< enigma of Europe," has now becomi the puzzle to the United States and - * ? Aonitol frnm ine worry 01 auicu ? Tokio to Rome. News is alarmingly scarce. Such as has been received is still guarded in an alarming way. Rumors that Riga on the Baltic, auc the key to Petrograd, had fallen tc the Germans, readied Washington to "day. The State Department was not a.ble to deny it. No Statement '? 1POO that "nr Tne omy jsiatctucin. ? ? official communication has been received." v At the same time press reports re vealed a suspicious internal conditior threatening eruption at the nationa council called for Moscow this wee* There are indications that the old re tfiire and the bourgeosis have Joined against the cabinet.

It1 was a quiet move amid the ordinary ] changes of human life. Lingering in | j1 -the memory of her friends was the picture of his little daughter Margar-i t et, a pretty girl who retained the ^ p love and sympathy of many of the | citizens of this place. In Green , wood there lieved during this time,! 11 t and still lives, a young man, Mr. j t Herbert Griffin, who was the young! y girl's sweetheart before she left New-j berry.

With the allies striking on every front, the ^United States, through the officials charged with carrying on tho the v<ar?let drop sufficient hints today of preparations for the future to make it plain that there is little hope fos peace in administration circles at this time. Indications were that President Wilson, through the State Department has been in touch with the entente governments and that the basis on which answer to the pope will be made has been decided upon. It at least has been drafted in broad outline and only details remained to b? discussed. With an army of more than 1,200.000 assured the government is devoting its entire attention to transporting the men already enrolled or drafted to France rather than attempting to increase the number under arms.
