Rush Relief
By D. M. Edwards
Washington. Aug. 23.?Russia's sit

{ the United States shipping board, ha:
5 eet aside three large vessels to b.

[ "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

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

a.ble to deny it.
No Statement

circles today, is answer to the question:
What will President Wilson
reply to the pope's peace proposal?
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.

FAMINE, SAYS SEX. SMITH
Washington, Aug.. 21 ?"The worid
faces a cotton famine. There is not
enough for America alone."
Senator E. D. Smith, of South Car
olina, the cotton expert of the senate,
made this statement this afternoon
replying o a recent statement in the
record by Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
that far too much cotton
was finding its way to Germany by
way of the neutrals, and was being
made into German shells with which

came o Se.iaor Lodge from cotton

in 1916 was 18,000(000 bales. The
consumption was 21,000,000 ales. The
surplus of 1913 and 1914 was used
in the years of 1915 and 1916."
He said with great emphasis that
the neutrals had received in 1916
four million bales less than in the
prewar years.

"The figures in the record were
entirely wrong and misleading/' said
the South C^rolinan. "They cam*
from a siu^'oious source. They emanated
from the cotton mill centers 01
New England. Cotton is high m
price. If an embargo is put upon
its exfor: rhe ^ri^e will drop ra
