S. INTERVENTION London, Friday, June 21 An earn, est plea for intervention In Russia, either economic or armed, has been sent to President Wilson by a large group of Russians here. The plea is set forth in a long cablegram delivered to the American embassy for transmission to Washington.

It is signed by Constantlne NabokotT, charge d'affaires at London; M. Stachovieh, ambassador to Spain; Mrs. Ariadne Tirkowa, member of the Central Executive Committee of the Constitutional Democratic party; Dr. James tiovronsky. Admiral Kedrow, General Germonius.

N. N. Nordmann of the foreign office of the Provisional Government and approximately one hundred more, some of them prominent in tha affairs of the Kerensky Government. It is understood that a similar appeal will be made by the Russian ambassador at Washington. The picture of an exhausted Russia, with Germany in the role of possible benefactor, is held up to President Wilson, who is told that "further economic penetration Into Russia Is a calamity lor our own country and a grave menace to the Allies." PANAMA ELECTION DELAY aPnama, June tt President Clro Urriola, who succeeded to the Presidency from the death of Dr.

Ramon Valdes on une 3J, has Issued a decree deferring for tlx months the elections which were set for July. The reason given for this action Is that it will permit the Panama Government to correct conditions in the cities of Colon and Panama, and the putting Into operation of regulations which were requested by the American military authorities. A protest against the suspension of (flections has been made to Washington by the opposition political party on the ground that the President's action is unconstitutional. The United States has been asked to uphold the Panama constitution, in accordance with the treaty. The work of abolishing the opium traffic, restricting the liquor trade and placing vice under more stringent regulations, is now going on.

NEW PROHIBITION ATTACK Washington, June 22 The attitude of the House on national prohibition was sounded today by a resolution of Representative Randall of California, Prohibitionist, calling on President Wilson to inform the House whether any order has been Issued by the Fuel Administration curtailing the supply of coa) to liquor manufacturers. It was adopted 204 to 47. London, June (tintisn vt ireiess i Service) Clothing in Germany has now become almost as scarce as food. Perhaps nothing could more graphi- cally reveal the clothing plight of Germany than a proposal just put forward by Otto Feig, a prominent Berlin lawyer, that the Government should forthwith enact a law making I it compulsory for the. heirs of dead! people or the administrators of their estates to turn over to the State all the clothing left by the deceased persons.

Paper "Lighters" in Hotels Oil lamps and Bits of Wood Used In Swell Clubs. fOorrespondenee 0f tha Associated rress.) London, May 25 "May I have a light, please, sir?" you! Yes, sir1." In the streets of London it has come to pass that smokers accommodate each other in this manner more often than ever owing to the fact that the metropolis today is experienc ing the greatest Bhortage in matches since the modern came into common usage, Smokers have no hesitancy whatever in asking the man in the street for a "bit of fire" from his pipe, cigar or cigarette, and invariably the man with the light is eager to aid the man who has a smoke In immediate prospect. Women, in the lounging rooms of the hotels, feel at liberty to request a "light" of the man or woman at the next table, so universal has become the custom.

I'-Boat Cuts Match Supply. Before the war London was supplied with matches principally from Sweden. But the German submarine aid other factors have interfered with this business, and so London now Is getting along the best she can with little wax matches of English manufacture, which are not only expensive, but not of sufficient output to come anvwhere near supplying the demand. In the hotel lobbies, where tires are nearly always burning, little rolls of paper, as of the custom of hundreds of years ago, are kept in receptacles for accommodation of the smokers who light their pipe, cigar or cigarette from the hot coals. And in Uie the fashionable clubs and all.

the "old style squatty oil lamp has again come into use. after many years of retirement, and Inirns in convenient places. Beside the lamp is a glass half filled with sand into whieh thin layers of wood are stuck after the fire is transferred from the lamp to the smokers' tobacco. Matches used In the I'nited States are seldom seen In London, except in the hands of newly arrived Americans who, having heard of the shortage, brought their own supply. When this snmilv Is exhausted the American adopts the war time tobacco lighting measure and sonn Is asking the man I ALLIES DEFEATED "Great Slaughter of French i and Americans" Near Chateau Thierry.

LIS NOT CONFIRMED Berlin, (via London) June 22 'Tartial attacks by the French and Americans northwest of Chateau Thierry," says the official report from headquarters today, "were repulsed with great slaughter." The text of the statement reads: 'Between Arras and Albert the en-emy's violent partial thrusts were kept up yesterday and up to this morning. They ended in complete failure for the enemy. "On both sides of the Scarpe, near Boiry-Bcequerelle, Heliuterne and Hamcl and in the Aveluy Wood, strong British detachments were driven back in some places in bitter hand to hund righting. At other points on the front also the British pushed forward several reconnaissances in. vain.

"Southwest of Noyon the enemy, using strong detachments, repeated his fruitless attacks south of Vundeli- court. There has been lively enemy activity between the Oise and the llarno. Itoconnoitering thrusts several times launched by the French were unsuccessful.

Privates Albert Lee and James C. Logie saw a boy's hand projecting from the water and pulled him out, and a tew moments later found the other lad. They were rushed to the base hospitals where the pulmotor was used for an hour with the hope of rususci-tatlng them, but they were dead. The bodies were taken to the Nassau County Morgue for identification. About 10:80 o'clock Mrs.

Spier notified the police that her son was missing. She was told about the accident and advised to go to the morgue. She identified her son and also the Sharp lad. PUBLISHERS MAKE APPEAL Washington, June 22 George Mc-Aneny, vice president and chairman American Newspaper Publishers Association, was again before the House Wriys and Means Committee today in the publishers' fight for suspension of the postal rate Increases due July 1. Mr.

McAneny declared the publishers stood on the attitude they took a year ago before Congress, that they did not object to a r.onc system in which the rates were laid with some regard to the service performed and the value of the artlclo carried. If an increase were to be made, he argued, the principle of the zone system would bo the better method. When representatives of the Pub-lishers Association, closed their testi mony tonight, Chairman Kitchin told them he was "afraid we cannot get together at all" on the proposal to suspend the xone postage system, but said no new revenue tax on advertising is contemplated.

Some of the precincts have sent a score of men to the front, and before the demand for soldiers ceases it is expected that there will be many more vacancies on police force, vacancies that can- not he filled readily, because the re- emits for the force are drawn from men or an age which the Army now wants.

Tho labor problem Is very acute, as no more farm hands are coming from Poland to work In the sugar beet fields.

"It is Impossible to see," says tne Correspondent, "how even the bedrock minimum needs of the civilian population can be satisfied, In view of the military demands and the necessary exports to neutrals. A very much reduced distribution on the sugar cards Is absolutely certain In tho coming fall unless a miracle happens and the Ukraine can send supplies. The Isttcr country is an uncertain factor."

SHUT AT BETHEL After announcint earlier in tha day that a new acting head of tha Inter-national Bible Studenta Association, th "Pastor" Russell organisation, would be chosen yesterday afternoon, following the sentence to twenty years imprisonment of President Joseph T. Rutherford and six of his followers, representatives of the Russellites stated last evening that the plans in prospect had been shelved. "There won't be any selection of an executive for some time," was the word at the "Bethel" at 124 Columbia Heights late In the evening. Previously, other residents at the "Bethel" had disclosed there was a meeting at which a successor to Rutherford had Those who asserted this plan had not materialized were asked if there had been a meeting of directors of the association. 'Tou can eet no of any kind here." was the answer.

"All information must come from Messrs. Sparks and Fuller, our lawyers." Before this announcement was made representatives of the Russel-ites stated that there had been a meeting of the directors at which future plans were decided upon. The session was called by Charles A. An-derson of Baltimore, vice president of the association, and it is understood that It put through a program outlined by Rutherford and forwarded from the cell where he is awaiting the result of his appeal. The plan had been that Rutherford and those sen tenced with him should continue their official positions, with an "honorary" designation, and that those chosen to succeed them should hold office only In a temporary capacity.

The Russellites declined tt make any statement about this. All inquirers were barred from the "Bethel." and the door was opened only a trifle to answer questions. "All that can be said at this time is that there was a meeting," was the stereotyped answer to all questions, "and that no one here is authorized to make any statement regarding it." "Is the identity of tho new head to be withheld?" "It will be made public later." POINCAREELCOMES POLES TO ALLIES' RANKS Paris, June 22 (Havas Agency) President Poincare, speaking this morning on the occasion of the presentation of Polish flags to the first Polish army, said that the restoration of Independence to Foland is one of the essential conditions to the future equilibrium of Europe. "The sons of Poland are coming In great numbers from America to fight henceforth under their own colors on the side of their Allies in defense of their national Ideals." he said. "The Allies arc certain of the outcome of this war, otherwise America would not be disembarking thousands of young men each day to fight the enemy of the human race.

The white eagle of Poland may now spread Its wings anew and soar in the radiance of vie. tory." President Poincare then proceeded to deliver the flags, standards and pennons to the troops. The flags were caught together with the French War Cross. TAXI UPSETS, SAILORS HURT Two sailors and the chauffeur of a taxicab were seriously injured yester day when tho taxicab, which was carrying twelve sailors from the Pel-ham Bay Training Camp to the West Farms Bubway, overturned.
