RUSSIA UNITED UNDER NEW POWER (Continued from Page One) All Influences United. The minister said that all suppo-1 sions that the soldiers and the workingmen were opposed to carrying on the war were without basis. "My visit to Moscow, from where I returned this morning," 'he continued, satisfied me that the whole army, from the commander down to the last soldier, are eagerly devoted to a continuance of the war.
I found there better demonstra-. tion than one could get in Petrograd of the new unity of the nation. The acclamations which followed my declaration before large gatherings existing between all classes left no doubt as to the sincere desires of the population. There are, of course, elements throughout the world which are against the war, but the majority in Russia is determined to finish it and not a single element stands for a separate peace." Answering a question regarding the final form of the new government M. Kerensky said: "I republican and think I know what kind of a government Russia wants, but, as a member of the government, will not try to bring any pressure upon the popular opinion which will render the decision.
The keynote the new government will be tolerance toward all. The menbers of the old government who are under arrest will be given a regular trial. There will be no summary milltary procedure, no courts martial and I believe that it can promise capital punisment will be definitely abandoned in the near future. "Among other reforms will be the establishment of freedom of the press and the Russian press will soon come, I hope, liberal and outspoken as the American press, which I have ment will be based respect for the always admired.

Rumor of Attempt At Mediation Between America and Germany (Continued from Page One) thorize the president to use the armed forces of the United States against Germany.
War Plans Developed. Technically, this would declaration of war, but whether fine United States shall enter the war in its full sense will depend on the eXtent to which Germany continues the unlawful aggressions of her submarines. In congressional circles today the suggestion was heard that the fight for organization of the house be deferred, pending action by congress on the international crisis. The senate already has organized and will be ready for business upon assembling. Steps to put the country in a state of preparedness went forward rapidly today.
Most of the activity was in the navy where big preparations are being made to meet the submarine menace. Because of uncertainty as to what part the army may take plans for that arm of the military service are not quite so definite, although steps to meet varying contingencies have been formulated.

Gregg, of the Order of Railway Conductors of the United States, arrived at his home here this morning after having apent a strenuous in New York during the negotiations between the Brotherhood chiefs and the railroad managers, resulting in settlement of the ditferences between them on Sunday night. Mr. Gregg says the men are naturally pleased at the outcome of the negotiations and especially at the decision of the supreme on the Adamson law, and he expreses the firm conviction that the railroads, after they test the working of the new agreement, will recognize and admit that it is not only Just and according to the most modern Industrial principles but that it works to their advantage as well.
can say positively," said Mr. Gregg to a World-News representative today, "that any feeling engendered In the minds of the Brotherhood men by the long drawn out contest has been wiped away, and that they stand behind the railroads with renewed loyalty, espocially in the present crucial national difficulties, in the solution of which they will do their full part. And it should be a matter of satisfaction to the public as well as to both parties to the recent controversy that in the agreement reached between the Brotherhoods and the managers at the New York conference the interpretation of every item of the Adamson law was laid down so plainly that there can be no question in regard to any point and therefore no controversies over the Interpretation will be arising from time to time, as has been the case in similar disputes many times in the past." Mr. Gregg will remain at his home here several days before leaving to resume his dutles. ELDER MOORE AT PRIMITIVE BAPTIST Elder A.

Name Address City State FRENCH REJOICE AT NEW FOUND FREEDOM (Continued from Page One) itants, who had been held virtually as prisoners during the German occupation, had been segregated in certain parts of the villages while the work of destruction was going on elsewhere. At Rouy, however. it was stated and reiterated scores of persons that the inhabitants of this village and of several other villages had been gathered at Rouy-le-Petit in certain houses and told to remain in them a certain number of hours while the Germans got away. While so herded together, they declared, the Germans had sent 200 sl.
Ils into the village, killing several persons. The funerals which were in progress in the village today lent color to the story. People in otner villages also assert that they distinctly heard this firing and thought that battle was in progress. It was pitiful to motor today through villages which had been far from the firing line and untouched by any shells and yet were lying in absolute ruins. Active stops are being taken by both the Br.
and the French to relieve the people in the liberated zone. Boys who had a attained the age of 16 years or inore since the German occupation and men who were considered over the military age by the French taken off by the Germans for were, behind their lines. Forced to Work in Trenches. Many of these French boys and old men had been compelled to work in the German trenches where they said they also met many Belgians and Russians, the latter prisoners or war. It was asserted that one of the reasons for tho wholesalo deportation Belgians was the necessity for their labor in constructing the new posttions to which the Germans have fallen back.
The Germans wished to spare the soldiers from this work and SO employ these unwilling civilians and prisoners. The amount of work involved in sawing down fruit trees in the evacuated territory is almost incalculable, and everywhere the destruction seems to have been carried out within the past few days. The Germans claim that some trees other than fruit trees were destroyed for the purpose of blockading the roads, this being justified by military law, was belied in many purposes where trees lining the roads were deliberately cut down, fell in positions away from the roadway. In any event, the clearing roads of fallen trees was a matter of comparatively few minutes. NOTICE TO REDMEN.

Watts, or this city, who was arrested in Baltimore yesterday with a woman giving her name a8 Cordia Margaret Scott, also known 8.8 Margaret Brooks, an eighteen-yairold cabaret singer, of High Point, N. is well known in court circles here, a divorce suit is still pending in the corporation court, and he now has a wife supposed to be living in Vinton. According to 8. dispatch from Baltimore, Watts was arrested with the Scott woman on the complaint of the Richmond authorities, who allege that the girl robbed a man in a hotel in that city Jast Saturday, stealing a suitcase, a gold watch and chain, and other jewelry.
Watts is said to, have been an accomplice. It is likely that a violation of the Mann "white slave" act will also be charged against Watts. According to the marriage registry in the clerk's office of the corporation court, Ivanhoe M. Watts, on February 115, 1913, applied and secured a marriage license to wed a Roanoke girl. Both them gave their ages then at '21 years, the husband saying that he lived in Bedford and the wife giving her home as Roanoke.
Watts gave his occupation as de barber. Sometime later, near the month of August, 1915, M.A. Watts, through her attorney, applied to the corporation court for divorce and in the divorce papers outlined at length the charges against her husband. She stated that he had been brutal and cruel to her, that he did not support her nor their children and that he was known to have had immoral relations with other women. Watts is being held, along, with the woman in the case, in Baltimore for the Richmond aut.orities, where they will be taken the charge of robbing the man at the Richmond hotel.
The divorce suit in this court has never been settled. Efforts to locate Mrs. Watts this morning proved fruitless but it is thought that she is still living in Vinton. GERMANS GIVEN HEAVY SENTENCES New Work, March' Albert O. Saunder' and Charles -N.
