RUSSIA FACING
ECONOMIC RUIN
INDUSTRIAL CRISI8 18 80 ACUTE
THAT ONLY MIRACLE CAN
8AVE COUNTRY.
RUY BRING WAR TO A CLOSE
Demands of Workmen 80 Enormous It
Seems Impossible to Keep Industrial

nance 8peak?.
Petrograd, via London.?The Industrail
crisis in Russia is so acute that,
according to a recent utterance of the
Minister of Finance, M. ShlngaroJf,
only a miracle can save the country
from economic ruin. The demands of
the workmen were bo enormous, he
declared, that it seemed impossible to
keep the industrial wheels going for
any great length of time.
The Socialist ministers at a recent
ministerial oouncil said that the only
possibility they saw of 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 crisis. The Commission
is composed of the Ministers
of Finance, trade and industry and
labor, but since there is a wide diver
gence 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 PASSES FIRST OF
FOOD CONTROL BILL8.
Provides For Survey of Food Supply,
* Appropriates $14,770,000.
Washington.?The Administration's

trol measures, was passed bj the
House without a Mford vote, j It apinvestigation
of the country's food resources
and for measures to stimulate
oroduction. 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 months 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 require 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 saies plan of
the House, and to consider new taxes
upon second-clafts 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

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

Washington.?With dreams of wealth
unrealised 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 ol
ease. The negroes turned over tc
'"Sam" varying sums of money upon
flattering promises.

of the Registration and Other Information
Every Man 8hould Know.
Regulations for registration June
5 under the selective draft act for
the national army have been delivered
to every county and city in the United
States. All male persona between
the ages of 21 and 30, both Inclusive,
will be required to register between
7 a. m., and 9 p. m., June 5. Failure
is punishable by a year's imprisonment,
without the alternative of a fine.
Here, in brief, are the points which
the secretary of war and the president
wish to have clearly fixed in the
minds of the people.
All men are required to register?
Who are 21 years old.
Whose 21st birthday comes before
June 5.
Whose 21st birthday comes on June
5; excepting
Men now 31 years old.
Men whose 31st birthday comes before
June 5.
A man who will become 31 years
old on June 5.
Men in the regular army or navy of
the United States, the marine corps, ,
and the officers' reserve corps. j
Members of the National Guard and ,
naval militia actually in the service ,
of the United States on June 6.
Men in the enlisted reserve corps ]
actively in the service of the United \
States on June 5- ,
Sickness, physical disability of any ]
kind or absence from home does not
excuse failure to register. National
guardsmen not mustered into the ser- ,
vice before June 5 must register.
A year's imprisonment is the penal- ]
ty for making false statements, ]
whether about oneself or some other <
person. Where the person registering ?
Is subject to military law he will be
oourtmartialed. f
Failure to register is punishable by
imprisonment, without the alternative j
of a fine. Upon termination of prison ^
sentence, the regulations prescribe lm- .
mediate registration.
The registration In each county or 1
similar subdivision In any state and in \
cities of 30,000 population or over 4
shall be made in the customary voting
precincts thereof in the places 1
and in the manner ordinarily employ- f
ed in the registration of voters so far I
as the same is not inconsistent with
j^^ac^^^hese^rules and regula-_
When a county has a city of 30,000 <
population or over, the county registration
board shall have jurisdiction of ^
the county, exclusive of the city, with 3
a city board directing registration *
within the city limits. Wardens of *
penitentiaries and other penal lnstitu- <
tions are charged with registration of (
the Inmates of such institutions, t
Places customarily UBed for voting \
purposes in each precinct shall be
used. Hours for registration are <
from 7 a. m. to 9 p. m. ^
Though very positive in terms, the ,
regulations to effect registration for (
the selective draft June 5, are reason- ]
able in their provisions, relative to ab- ?
sentees. The place of registration is (
the domiciliary precinct, but adequate ?
provision is made for enforced ab- {
sence. The burden rests on each in- j
dividual between 21 and 30 years, in- \
elusive, to see that registration certi- j
flcates are entered at his domiciliary |
precinct on registration day. Absentees
may procure registration blanks f
from the office of the county clerk of (
every county or the city clerk of j
cites of 30,000 population or more.
"Upon application by you, your 1
card will be made out by the clerk,
turned over to you and by you it must
be mailed in time to reach your domi- *
ciliary precinct by the day set for reg- 1
istration." *
Eligibles, whose permanent homes '
are in cities of 30,000 or more, may [
direct the registration card in care
of the mayor. A self addressed envelope
should be inclosed with the registration
card for the return of the registration
certificate. Failure to get ?
this certificate may cause serious em- <
barrassment. <
Persons in training camps, schools
or colleges or other Institutions may
register under the above provisions
for absentees. "However, for their ]
convenience, the county clerk or
clerks of cities of 30,000 or more are 1
authorized to deputize a competent 1
persons to certify to the registration
cards of non-residents In such institutions
and to furnish a sufficient sup- '
ply of cards to do so. It must be
borne in mind that such registration
must be made in sufficient length of
time before the date set by the president
for registration to enable such
student to mail the card. The burden
of registration in his own domiciliary
precinct is on every man; and
persons must see to it at their peril
that their registration cards are in the
hands of the registrar of their domicilary
precinct at the time prescribed
in the Dresident's Droclamatlon."
Persons who, on account ot sickness,
are unable to present themselves
for registration on the day set by the
president, will cause some competent
person to apply to the county or city
clerk for a copy of the card and tor
authority to fill it out. If satisfied
that the case Is bone Aide, the clerk
will deputize the person applying for
the card to make out the card. The
card will then be mailed by the sick
person or delivered by his agent to
the registrar of the sick person's precinct.
The sick person will inclose

Nation or State?
No matter what country you served,
you must give complete information.
In answering these questions, first
name your rank, using one of the following
words: "Commissioned officer,"
"Noncommissioned officer," "Private."
Next, state branch in which
you served in one of the following
words: "Infantry." "Calvary," "Artillery."
"Medical," "Signal," "Avia- j

state)," "Volunteers of United
States." or "Regular Army (Navy) of j
United States."
12. Do you claim exemption from
draft? Specify grounds.
Because you claim exemption from
draft, it by no means follows that you
are exempt. For the information of
the War Department you should make i
a claim now if you intend to prosecute |
It. Some persons will be exempted on
account of their occupations or offices,
some on account of the fact that they
have relatives dependent upon them
for support. Your answer touching ,
these things will be important in supporting
the claim you now intend to
make in your answer to the present
questions. Be sure, therefore, that
the grounds you now state are in conformity
with your answers to questions
7 and 8. In stating grounds you
claim as exempting you, use one of
the following terms: If you claim to
be an executive, legislative, or Judicial
officer of the state or nation,
name your office and say whether it
is an office of the state or nation. If |
you claim to be a member of a religious
sect whose creed forbids its members
to participate in war in any form, j
simply name the sect. If you are em- '
ployed in the transmission of the |
United States mails or as an artificer
or workman in an armory, arse- j
nal. or navy yard of the United State3,
or if you are a mariner employed In j
the sea service of any citizen or merchant
within the United States, so i
state. If you are a felon or otherwise |
morally deficient and desire to claim
exemption on that ground, state your
ground briefly. If you claim physical
disability, state that briefly. If you
claim exemption on any other ground,
state your ground briefly.
The necessity of service applies Just
as strongly to registrars. Some registrars
appointed have indicated their
desire not to serve. But having been
appointed, according to the law, they
have no other alternative. "All persons
designated or appointed." reads
the law, "under regulations prescribed
by the President, whether such appointments
are made by the President
himself of the Governor or other officer
execution of this act are hereby
required to perform such duty as the
President shall order or direct."

The food situation was presented by
Herbert C. Hoover, who will be named
food administrator. The country, he
said, faces a war that probably will
last from two to five years, and onlj
by the most careful measures can the
United States give the Allies enougt
foodstuffs to keep them in the wi
with the Constance demanded to bring
victory.
The Allies' grain needs this year
Mr. Hover said, will amount to aboui
one billion bushels. America and Can
ada. with good crops, can furnish 6(
per cent of this without deprivation
but the Allies must have, he declared
at least eighty per cent of their needs
to keep their efficiency at the highest
average.
"That means some deprivation foi
us," said Mr. Hover, "but we musi
nil their needs."
Food prices in the United States an
too high, and if they continue at th<
present level, he said, wage re-adjust
ments must come or the working mat
cannot live.
Secretary Baker declared the out
