Labor Not Oppoeod to Army. Organized labor of Illinois la not op posed to its membership joining the home defense militia, according to statement issued at Chicago by John H. Walker, acting president flt the State Federation of Labor. The statement was made in response to a telegram from M. K. Zetterhoim, city attorney at Galesburg. who said a number of union men would join a proposed company of reserves if or­ ganized labor had no objection. Mr Walker's reply follows: - "Organized labor Is not opposed to its membership joining home defense militia," Mr. Walker said. "We be­ lieve all members whose circumstances permit should join, s-o that their influ­ ence inside imty be used honestly to protect our country from enemies with­ in, as well as without.

Illinois farmers ask that expert farm help be exempt from the first draft, in return for what' they promise a bumper crop as their "bit." The demand was made at a confer­ ence held in Chicago, which was at­ tended by Charles G. Adkins, director of 'agriculture, State Food Commis­ sioner Newman and Representatives of various agriculture -bodies in tile state, . The farmers are*"piot asking exemp­ tion for their expert help, at this time, beyond the present draft. The future must find a solution for itself, and they plan to co-operate with the state coun­ cil in mapping out a program covering 1918 and ll»19, and even further into the future. i At this time they sum up the situa­ tion in this way : Is an expert farm hand, taking care of 1,000 pigs, worth more as a pa­ triot taking care of those pigs than as an Individual soldier shouldering a rifle ? WOMEN TOLD TO CAN PRESERVING OP FRUITS AND VEGETABLES IS VITAL TO WIN WAR, SAYS PRESIDENT. WILL HASTEN END OF WAR State Battles Cholera. Swine breeders of Illinois are urged to aid the state in its battle against hog cholera, as a movement toward the conservation of meat products. The appeal is made in a circular sent out by the Illinois department of agriculture, by W. W. Wright, super­ intendent of the division of animal in­ dustry, and Chief Veterinarian A. T. Peters. Farmers are urged to clean up hog lots and to aid In other ways In keeping cholera to a minimum. The circular sent out follows: "America must conserve and stimu­ late her meat products; Illinois must do her share. In accordance with the policy of food conservation of the United States, It Is the duty of every citizen to do everything within his l^power to preserve, and prevent the waste of supply of food and food prod­ ucts. "We believe It to be the duty and the province of this department at this time to call to the attention of the farmers, swine owners and growers, the large annual loss caused by hog cholera. We feel that the losses caused by this disease can be greatly di­ minished, if those interested in the production of hogs will observe more careful and sanitary methods in the growing and handling of swine on the farm. "Therefore, the division of animal industry of the state of Illinois, would ask you, the farmers and swine growers off the state of Illinois, to clean up your premises and hog lots, and to do everything possible to pre­ vent outbreaks and the consequent spread of this disease. Tour are espe­ cially warned, during the harvest and threshing season, against carrying and distributing hog Cholera infection from one farm to another, and to be ex­ tremely careful in entering hog lots upon infected farms.

July 81.---President Wilson, in a letter to Secretary of Agriculture D. F. Houston, appeals to the women of the nation to take imme­ diate steps to avoid a threatened loss of a vast amount of perishable fruits and vegetables. The president says: "Every bushel of potatoes properly stored, every pound of vegetables put by for future use, «very jar of fruit preserved,, add' that much to. our in­ surance victory--add that much to hasten the end of the conflict. "We must aim to consume these things locally so far as possible and thus relieve the pressure in transpor­ tation agencies, treeing theiu for the more efficient handling of products re­ quired for military purposes. What we cannot presently consume we must conserve."

PROTEST PRICE OF WHEAT War Emergency Council Hears Voice of Farmers, Who Declare Sum Set Is Too Low. Washington, July 30.--That a $2 minimum price for wheat will mean $3 wheat and higher priced bread, and that 05 per cent of the people ar§. vital­ ly interested In reasonable prices while only 5 per cent are interested in high nriced wheat, were assertions made by the war emergency council of the baking industry in a . protest to the food bill conferees against the mini­ mum price provision of the pending measure. The council, representing 23,000 American bakers, asserted in session here that fixing the minimum price for wheat as high as $2 means that the farmer, instead of the middleman, will hoard wheat, and that it would not result in the stimulation of production, which the country most needs at this hour. • A return to 5 cent bread, the bakers said, was impossible, but lower than present prices <-an be and should be at­ tained, in their opinion.

Loyal Artillerymen Train Cannon, on Whole Division of the Eleventh Army. Lo"ndo, July 28. -- Kerensky and Korniloff, Russia's men of the hour, met anarchy and disloyalty with blood and iron. Dispatches from Petrograd leave no room for doubt that Kerensky's dista- torship is to be a real dictatorship; that he will sanction and approve ex­ treme measures when necessary to re­ store a semblance of order out of chaos which for a time seemed to threaten the complete disintegration of the Russian armies and, indeed, the Russian state. Four outstanding things were in dis­ patches from Petrograd, things which* held out promise, in the opinion of ob­ servers here, that Kerensky, with t$|e aid of his military commanders, of whom Korniloff stands out, might yet "pull Russia through." . These things were: 1. Kerensky has acquired complete ascendency over the workmen's and soldiers' committee, so that it now makes no attempt to issue decrees. His command of the provisional gov­ ernment is supreme. The ministers he has gathered around him have agreed completely so far with all his proposals and are supporting them to the ut­ most. 2. His first act has been to restore the death penalty for treason. This action, taken with the consent of his ministers, is designed to wipe out dis» affection in the army which has mads its commanders powerless and which has enabled the Germans to make their gains in Galicia after the Russian army had apparently regained its power aj a war machine. 3. A censorship of dubious newspa­ pers has been established. The papers affected were guilty of disseminating appeals to disloyalty among the troops. The new order provides for the sus­ pension of such papers. 4. As a result, the Russian army is again showing evidences of resistance.: The Germans continue to strike in Ga-' licia, but in the Carpathians and Rou­ mania the Russian-Roumunian forces have opened a counter-offensive ap­ parently designed to lighted the pres­ sure on |vorniloff's hard-pressed le- gionSj and has met with considerable initial successes. Korniloff himself has taken the most extreme measures to halt the rout of his army. He wired to Kerensky threatening to resign his command un­ less permitted to order executions for treason and cowardice among his men. This forced Kerensky's hand. After a hurried meeting-of the pro­ visional government the permission was wired back. Korniloff immediate­ ly, according to press dispatches, or­ dered his loyal artillery to turn their gups on a whole division of the Elev­ enth army (approximately 18,000 men). A slaughter ensued unparalleled in the history of modern civilization. The provisional government decided to establish on all the Russian fronts courts martial composed of three offi­ cers and three soldiers.

Huirementa Large. * Washington. July 30.--Secretary Mc- Adoo, submitting estimates to congress for the new war budget, said the first year of the war promised now to cost $10,735,807,000, exclusive of loans to the allies, ma'.ing it necessary to raise more than $6,500,000,000 additional revenue. The war tax bill as revised by the senate finance committee provides for only a little more than $1,300,000,000 in additional rvenue. The $5,000,000,- 000 discrepancy probably will be made up partly by increasing the bill's levies and partly by d bond issue.' Besides the estimate of mope than $.".000,000,000 additional expenses sub­ mitted by the wa- department, Mr. Mc- Adoo presented estimates from other departments totaling upward of $1,000,- 000,000. All these estimates are for expenditures during the year ending next July, and are in addition to more than $3,000,000,000 already appropri­ ated since the war began. / The largest items In the estimates are $3f>0.000,000 for the shipping boaTd and $288,000,000 for the navy. For the food survey to be made under pending legislation $11,000,000 was requested. Loans to our allies and possible emergencies may take the total cost of the first year of the war up to $15,000,- 000.000 or possibly $20,000,000,000. Against these totals figures submitted to congressional leaders for compari­ son with appropriations of European belligerents indicated that for the Brit­ ish fiscal year ending March 31 last the British appropriations, including loans to allies, aggregated $10,000,000,- 000, and an estimate for the current fiscal year was $12,000,000,000. The expenses of other government branches also ran into stupendous figures. Estimates of these branches are to go to congress soon. Roughly they will approximate: Legislative establishment...
