ENVOY FRANCIS PLEASED

WASHINGTON. March co Early
recognition by the United states of
the new government in Russia was
forecast here today in the belief that
with good order now prevailing the
plans being made for a permanent
constitutional government call for the
moral support Of this country All
reports to the state department indi-
cate that the army and navy are sup
porting the provisional government
Ambassador Francis at Petrograd
summarized the situation today in the
following cablegram:
An Astounding Revolution.
"The last week has seen the most
astonishing revolution. Two hundred
million people, who have lived under
absolute monarchy for one thousand
years and who are now engaged in
the greatest war in history, have
forced their emperor to abdicate for
himself and his son and induced the
brother, TO whom was transferred inn
perial authority, to accept on condi-
ton that the constitutional assembly
of people so wish and who will eX-
ercise power under authority of gov
ernment framed by that assembly.
NO opposition 20 provisional gov
ernment which is council of ministers
appointed by committee of II named
by duma. Absolute quiet here and
thruout all Russia. lfodzlanky and
Milukoff assure me army and navy
in support. Everything learned from
unofficial sources confirm.
Might BE Monarchy.
plan of provisional government Is
to call constituent assembly or con
Vention whose members be elected by
whole people and who be empowered
| TO organize good government. Whether
| republic or constitutional monarchy
undecided by conclusions of assembly,
VIII be accepted by the people and
enforced by the army and navy"
The United states always locks with
favor upon a movement for the ex-
/ tension of republicanism and has been
eager to be among the first to wei
come into the family of nations new
governments known to be founded
upon the will of the people. The
! Russian movement consequently has
been received with deep sympathy here
where the quality of the present lead
ors is well known and highly es-
, ,teemed.
Washington Convinced.
As yet no official action has been
taken because 1t is not felt certain
that the revolutionary elements have
entirely duieted down into II stable
government With each day that
passes, however. the conviction In
Crcases that republican or constitu-
tional Russia has come to stay.

DENIES CHESTER A. SHOWS
PLEA TO CURTAIL ALIMONY
Justice Stafford Awards the Wife
an Additional Allowance Of
$500 for Counsel.

Chester A. Snow, millionaire patent
attorney, must continue to pay ali
mony Of $500 per month to his wife,
Adds H. Snow. according to decision
rendered today by Justice Stafford Of
the District Supreme Court. The Judge
granted the wife an additional allow
ance Of $500 for counsel fees, bring
ing the total allowance for legal serv-
ices up to 5000. Mr.. Snow noted an
appeal to the Court of Appeals.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Snow. through
Attorney George P. Hoover. filed a
petition asking the court to rescind the
temporary decree for alimony on the
cruelty In making an unfounded charge
Of misconduct against her seventy
three-year- husband. and. being so
guilty. was not entitled to relief in
court of equity. as she did not come
into court with clean hands.
At the trial Mrs Snow had failed to
prove the charge of misconduct and had
abandoned her plea for an absolute d.
vorce. Justice Stafford had held that
the husbands conduct toward his wife
ed limited divorce with alimony.
Attorney Henry 3. Davis, for the
wife, denied that the failure of the wife
to substantiate tho charge. which she
believed true whom she made it, should
not deprive her Of her right to support
question of the amount of his fee to the
discretion Of the court, after explaining
the details of his employment.
Justice Stafford made no reference to
tfnuance Of the alimony. except to deny
it, in effect, by directing that payments
continue until the Court of Appeals
shall pass upon the husbands appeal

Germany. under present circumstances,
cannot surrender Alsace-Lorraine. No
one in Germany is even thinking of
making France a present of the two
provinces and 1t would seem the French
do not want them in the form of gift.
They are demanding Alsace-Lor-

the Germans, not a victory of success
which they might have today. but

US. TROOPS IN TRENCHES
CAUSE OF Joy TO ALLIES
One Writer Predicts q Great Display
When Americans "Go
Over the Top"

LONDON, October 2s.-News that the
American troops have fred their first
shot of the war on tho western front
papers with the first American official
statement from Paris. The announce
ment was received with great enthu-
siasm by the American congressman
who are here. They said it would
carry profound satisfaction to the peo-
pie Of America. Telling of the event.
the correspondent Of the Weekly Dis
patch says:
THE allies are extremely fortunate
in having American troops take place
in the line at a comparatively quiet
time of the year. During the winter
they will have ample opportunity OF
warfare, which never can be taught
satisfactorily behind the lines. Within
four or Ave months they should become
seasoned troops and the allies conf
IDENTIFY look to a great display when
they go over the top"
The entrance of units Of the Ameri-
can Army into active service on the
western front, although overshadoWed
as news item by the Austro-German
notice in the newspapers as much
more than picturesque event. The Daily
News says:
1T would be idle presumably to ex-
pect Germany. In the intoxication of
her Italian victory, to appreciate Its
full meaning. This does not alter the
facts, either immediate or prospective.
Germany has called in the new world
to redress the balance of the old. The
balance will be redressed."
The Daily Express. remarktng on
American energy, says it BODIES i'll for
Germany. and gives added certainty
that victory, however long delayed. is
assured. 1t warns that this does not
justify a relaxation of British efforts.
The Graphic says:
The descendants of the embattled
farmers of Concord have fired a shot
which. like that of the minute men, will
be heard round the world. The
advent of the United States has more
than made up for Russia's temporary
weakening. 1t should have a steadying
influence in view of the blow at Italy,
and should be recalled whenever there
is a tendency toward pessimism."
PARIS, October 2s.-The first Ameri-
can communication announcing the
presence of American troops in the
trenches on the battle front, to which
Foreign Minister Barthou made refer
ence Thursday night. was printed
prominently in all Sunday newspapers.
The newspapers In editorial articles
express JOY over the announcement.

FRAZEE Is OPTIMISTIC.
Red Sox Owner Says War Will Not
Hurt Big Leagues.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., october 20
Harry H. Frazee, owner Of the Boston
Red Sox of the American League. in an
interview here declared that he did not
think the big leagues would be seri-
ously affected by the war. Frazee ex-
pressed regret that Ban Johnson would
be lost to organized base ball and paid
a tribute to the competency of Ed Bar
row, who is to take up Bans work. He
said that Miller Huggins will be a big
asset to the Yankees
ST do not believe that the war will
grarely injure base ball-that is, 1 do
not think it will interfere to any great
extent with either the American or
National leagues" he stated. The
sentiment behind the country Is sclidly
behind base ball and this cannot be
displaced. Despite tho war, major
league base bali was in a prosperous
condition last season. With few ex-
ceptions the clubs in the National and
American leagues made money and I
look for even a better season next
year.
THE call for war service will not
materially weaken the older teams.
Both the leagues are essential to the
success Of organized base ball, ana it
would be a mistake for one league to
try to weaken another. Their friend
ly rivalry is the biggest asset the game
has"

According to ono Of the New York

BY 81. C. BYRD.

Scholastic foot ball interest this week
will center in the game between Tech
nical and Central high schools. The
contest probably will determine the
championship, inasmuch as these two
elevens now seem to have a margin over
the other three. Central, If 1t wins, is
not likely to encounter much opposition
during the remainder of It's schedule.
Tech must improve it's play in many
departments If it figures to stand a
chance to win from the Blue and White.
The work of the linemen against West
ern last week left much to be desired,
particularly in their manner of shifting
to meet cleverly developed offense.
Had Westerns quarterback used as
good judgment in the direction of his
play as he might there would have been
a different story to tell. In backing up
the Tech line the two players desig-
mated for that purpose failed to shift
properly and as a result Western backs
many times shot through absolutely
alone for gains of many yards. That
fault especially must be rectified IL Tech
