RUSSIA FAGIN6 ECONOMIC RUIN INDU8TRIAL CRI8I8 18 80 ACUTE THAT ONLY MIRACLE CAN 8AVE COUNTRY. MAY BRING WAR TO A CLOSE in..) o- ? ww?..?nw? vi ?*vi nmvn o? cnurmuui IX 8eems Impossible to Keep Industrial Wheels Turning.?Minister of Finance Speaka. Petrograd, via London.?The Industrail crisis in Russia is so acute that, according to a recent utterance ot the Minister ot Finance. M. Shingaroff, only a miracle can save the country from economic ruin. The demands ot the workmen were so enormous, he declared, that it seemed impossible to keep the industrial wheels going tor any great length ot time. The Socialist ministers at a recent ministerial oouncil said that the only possibility they saw ot settling the difficulty was to bring the war to a close. Neither the coalition Cabinet nor the newly appointed Commission to regulate the difficulties between capital and labor has yet found a way to settle the industrial crisiB. The Com mission is composed of the Minister of Finance, trade and industry and labor, but since there is a wide divergence of views between the Minister of Finance and the new Socialistic Minister of Labor, it seems probable that this Commission will be confronted with the same difficulties that attended previous efforts at reconciliation. An investigation of the factory conditions in Petrograd leads to the alarming, but inevitable, conclusion that unless the Government soon finds a means of adjusting the present difficulties, most of the Industrial enterprises working for National defense will be compelled to close within a few months. An investigation shows that virtually the same difficulties prevail in all the big factories in Petrograd and apparently authenticated reports from the Moscow, Donets and Ural districts Indicate general disorganization. In many of the factories, the demands by the wworkmen for increased wages are actually greater than the entire profits of the factories under the best conditions of production. HOUSE PASSE8 FIRST OF FOOD CONTROL BILL3. Provides For Survey of Food Supply, Appropriates $14,770,000. Washington.?The Administration's food survey bill, first of the food com trol measures, was passed by the House wlttiout'a radord vote, j It apinvestigation of the country's food resources and for measures to stimulate oroductlon. A similar bill is under debate in the Senate. The Agriculture Department expects to present a fairly accurate estimate of food resources within three weeks after the bill is signed by the President, Secretary Houston said. As soon as the measure becomes a law, the Department will start its 17,000 employes and the 150,000 voluntary crop reporters to work on the investigation. The preliminary report to be made within the three weeks will be supplemented with monthly reports and probably by a further complete report within six rfionths if necessary. Material gathered will be turned over to Herbert C. Hoover, who was named as head of the food administration, as soon as the pending regulatory food measures becomes law. In the survey bill, passed virtually as it came from the committee, Miss Rankin, the woman representative from Montana, inserted an amendment which would rtfquire the Department of Agriculture to use women in the survey work whenever practicable. An amendment by Representative McKenzie of Illinois would make all persons employed under the bill liable to military service, and another would permit citizens to refuse to go more than 360 miles from their homes or places of business to testify in a food inquiry. RAPID PROGRESS ON REVISION OF REVENUE BILL. Washington.?Making rapid progress in revising the House war tax bill, the Senate Finance Committee decided to exempt from taxation many articles, to substitute stamp taxes for the manufacturers' gross sales plan of the House, and to consider new taxes upon second-cla&s mail matter. The latter were advocated by Senator Hardwlck and Postoffice Department heads, and would be based upon the advertising space In publications. It was agreed that there should be no direct taxation on Jewelry, motion picture film, chewing gum and pianos and self-played musical instruments. For the House gross manufacturers' sales tax of Ave per cent, the commit tee determined to ubstitute s'amp taxes on mechanical musical ina'ru mentB, including talking machine records, athletic goods, perfumes, cos metics and patent medicines. For the House five per cent tax on yachts and other pleasure boats, a new tax based upon tonnage or length was consider A new tax upon confectionary was proproposed by Senator Williams. HOMESICK NEGROES WANT TO COME HOME Washington.?With dreams of wealth unrealized and faith in promoters de stroyed, homesick American negroes have petitioned the acting Governor ol Gold Coast Colony in Africa to send them back to Texas, which thoy left in 1914 under the sway of the arguments of "Chief Sam," who pictured lives ot ease. The negroes turned over tc '"Sam" varying sums of money upor flattering promises. H E REMEMBER FACTS" AROUTJRAFT AC1 REGISTRATION 18 REQUIRED Ol ALL BETWEEN THE SPECIFIED AGES.

Failur is punishable by a year's lmprlsoc ment, without the alternative of a flue Here, in brief, are the points whic] the secretary of war and the presl dent wish to have clearly fixed in th minds of the people. All men are required to reglsterWho are 21 years old. Whose 21st birthday comes befor< June 5. Whose 21st birthday comes on Jun< 5; excepting Men now 31 years old.

A self addressed env? lope should be inclosed with the regit tration card for the return of the reg Istration certificate. Failure to ge this certificate may cause serious err barrassment. Persons in training camps, school or colleges or other Institutions ma register under the above provision for absentees. "However, for thei convenience, the county clerk o clerks of cities of 30,000 or more ar authorized to deputize a competen persons to certify to the registratlo: cards of non-residents in such institi tions and to furnish a sufficient sui ply of cards to do so. It must b borne in mind that such registratlo must be made in sufficient length c time before the date set by the pres dent for registration to enable sue student to mall the card. The burde of registration in his own doralci iary precinct is on every man; an persons must see to it at their per that their registration cards are in th hands of the registrar of their dom cilary precinct at the time prescribe in the president's proclamation." Persons who, on account ot sicl ness, are unauie 10 present. tnemseivc for registration on the day set by th president, will cause some competer person to apply to the county or cit clerk for a copy of the card and f? authority to fill It out.
