tty tho Asflociatet Press
PKTROC1RAD Juno 30. Czar NIch
olns of Russia today Issued an Im-
perial rescript rending;
' "Tho prolonged war calla for over
fresh efforts on tho part of our coun-
try but surmounting difficulties and
parrying tho vicissitudes of Urn inor-
Itablo let us strengthen our hearts
resolved to carry on tho struggle with
tho help of God to a complete triumph
for Russian arms. Tho enemy must
ho crushed. Without that pcaco is Im-
possible." Tho czar then appeals to all classes
of all faltliB to work together to sup-
ply tho needs of tho army. Ho udds:
"This Is tho only and honccro-th thb
national problem to which nttiBt be
directed all tho thoughta of an United
Russia"
Reports hero Bhow that tho Kus1r
nctlon In creating a board oa muni-
tions empowered to spend unlimited
BUinu with unrestricted power over all
private Industries has been accom-
plished with astounding swiftness.
Tho appeal Issued by tho Csar is
taken to mean that tho Russians aro
beginning a renewed campaign against
tho Teutonic Allies. It is ticllovcd
that n now army will bo put Into tho
field as soon as possible and that
tho supply of munitions which has
been Sadly lacking during tho paBt
month or bo of tho fighting will ba
rapidly Increased and augmented until
tho Russians will bo tho best equip-
ped or nil Allies in tho war. Signal
Importance Is attached to tho Caar'a

blow to the Germans.
