Visit is in Discharge of Duty of Secretary of State for War, Duty He Does Not Intend to Abandon in I'm mediate Future
IRepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

LONDON, Ncv. 6.-"Lord Kitchener, at the request of his colleagues, has left England for a short visit to the eastern theater of war
 This announcement, made this. even ing after q cabinet comedian un- usual meeting for aturday-and a long audience which Premier Asquith had with the king set at rest rumors current as to the war secretarys present intentions.
 Later an additional official state ment was issued, as follows:
 The statement that Earl Kitchener has resigned his post as secretary of state for war has already been author itatively denied. It is equally untrue to suggest that Earl Kitchener has rendered his resignation, or that his visit to the king had any relation to that subject or that his visit 10 the eastern theater of war in any way betokens that such resignation is con templated.
 On the contrary, this visit is un- dertaken by him in discharge of his duty as secretary Of state for war, which duty he has no intention of abanodning
 Almost simultaneously with the an nouncement of Lord kitchener's pro posed visit to the east, the authorities seized the printing plant of the Lon don Globe, together with the issues of yesterday and today. This is the first action of the kind taken by the authorities since the outbreak of the war, against daily paper in the Jnited Kingdom. Some weekly papers, both in England and in Ireland, in- cluding the Labor Leader, were sim ilarly treated some time ago but the Labor Leader. after a secret trial of the case, was allowed to resume pub- iicatiCn.
 The Globe, while one of the oldest papers published in the country and long considered a staid and conSerVa- tive organ, has latterly lost that char acter and has been chiefly noted for it's violent attacks on public men dur ing the administration of the liberal government IL has been one of the governments bitterest opponents, and has, since the war, attacked virtually all of the members of the government. On Friday it bitterly attacked Sir Frederick F. Smith, the new attorney
  ported and who the evening before had defended Premier Asquith against what he described as "disereditable personal attacks
 The Globe also published a report of the resignation of Lord Kitchener. this being based chiefly on the fact that the war secretary had been re- ceiVed in audience by the king Thurs day night and a brief announcement in a morning paper that a change of the utmost importance was about to take place in the conduct of the war.
 The Globe is edited by Charles Pal mer, for many years it's parliamentary reporter.
 The police officials who seized the Globe newspaper made thorough job of it. They cut off the electric power thc stereotype plates, with drew the vital parts of the linotype machines and presses and seized all

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Nov. 6.-Whether the forty seven persons who consti- tuted the company aboard the steamer Fort Bragg, wrecked early yesterday near San Jose del CabO, on the Gulf of Lower California, were being brought to this port by the United States cruiser San Diego, or if the cruiser still remained at the scene of the accident. was unknown early to- night as no late dispatches had been received here since early in the day.
 The radiograms received in the morning, however, reported that there had been no fatalities and that all the survivors, twenty-fOur of whom were passengers, had been given comfort able quarters aboard the San Diego. and that they would be brought here. The dispatches also stated that there was no American aboard the Fort Bragg when she crashed onto the rock pinnacles which penetrated her hull. It was thought early today that the vessel would be a total wreck, although the sea had quieted and she still remained in the rock cradle into which she slid yesterday morning.

 The announcement that Lord kitch- ener is to visit the east did not come as a surprise. It was generally be- lieVed when it became known he was a bout to undertake a mission. that the Balkans would he his destination, for there is no general in the British empire better equipped with a knowl- edge of near eastern affairs, political and military, than he.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire CHICAGO. Ills, Nov. 6-Ofifcers of the United Societies for local self government have said that the home rule and personal liberty parade to be held tomorrow through the down. town streets of Chicago as a pro- test against Mayor Win. Hale Thomp- sons action in enforcing the state law closing saloons on Sunday will be tine largest demonstration of it's kind ever held in this country. They have predicted that scores of thous- ands would be in line, including many trade unionists and numerous women. More than two thousand organizations of various kinds, rep resenting twenty nationalities. were announced as having accepted invi- tations to participate.
 No organization directly or indirect ly representing the liquor business will be allowed in the column. spon- sors for the demonstration announcing that brewers, saloonkeepers, distillers and hartenders who desire to march will do so as individuals or as mem bers of other organizations. An effort was made to provide automobiles for ~'A NA4N N'iiiVii Nlio ttSiiNu IO tp- pear in the demonstration. Plans also were made for the construction of hundreds of floats
 Mayor Thompson declined invita- tion to review the procession, send ing letter in which he denounced the demonstration as showing dis respect for law and as an attempt to intimidate officials sworn to en- force the statutes. A further evil dence of hostility to the parade on the part of the city administration came in the refusal Of the building inspectors to permit erection of a reviewing. stand on the La Sale street side of the city hall. w. R. Moorehouse. commissioner of public works in the mayors cabinet. informed the United Societies officials that granting permit for a stand in front of the city hall would place the ad- ministration in the light of giving it's sanction to the protest.
 Invitations to review the marchers were also sent to Gov. Edward F. Dunne of Illinois and other state county and city officials
 The United Societies for local self government under whose auspices the parade will be held. consists of nine hundred and seventy three auxiliary organizations.
 Mir. Landau. who is president of the United Societies, said today:
 The parade was planned as mighty protest against the action of Mayor Thompson in closing the Chi cago saloons Sunday. We want the officials and the citizens of the city, county and state and nation to know how a majority of the populati ton feel on this question. There will he more than 100000 patriotic Ameri- can citizens in line. If the weather in fine there may be 200 OOo march CTS"
 The police department issued a permit for the parade but was not asked to guard the line of march In- stead, this police work will be done by members of the German. Polish, and Bohemian Societies.

 PETROGRAD, Via Londan, Nov. G. In a white, tWo- story building in city of perhaps 10000 but resembling more nearly an overgrown village, is sta toned the staff which directs the de- fense of Russia against her enemies. The director in chief is Emperor NichO- las and to this forlorn place from the imperial palace to TsarSkOe Selo, he for the time being has banished him self. in order that he may live in daily touch with the affairs of his armies in the field, advise with the officers and supervise the conduct of the war
 Although many hours journey by tram from the nearest battle line, the emperor and his staff are in almost in stant communication by telegraph with all points along the thousand mile front. It is in this building that the daily official communications to the world are written.
 The chief of staff, General Michael Alexieff. is a modest man about 60 years old.
 A casual visitor to the town in ques tiOn finds little to induce him to pro- long his stay. The hotels, of which there are several-the best leaving much to be desired-are pre- -empted by the military. The town is crowded with strangers who have come from the territory overrun by the Germans.
 It is only at night that the place wakes up Until nearly midday the many little shops that crowd each other along the two main thoroughfares keep their doors locked and their windows shUttered. Antiquated ''izVosschiks" as the public packs are called, shamble out of the way of screeching high pow CT automobiles carrying officers, the cars appearing incongruous in the cen tury old setting of cobbled streets and high widowed and dingy stores.
 Around the white staff building there is q solemn stiffness. Sentries guard the entrance and open space in front, and none without official business may pass.
 The distress of the people growing out of the war is apparent on every hind. The floors of the railway wait ing room at night serve as a slreping place for scores of weary wayfarers. old men, women and children lie close ly huddled, leaving a narrow aisle for the stream of traffic to and from the trains
