RUSS PARLIAMENT
IS PROVIDED FOR
CONSERVATIVES IN CONTROL AND
RADICALS THREATEN TO ES-
TABIJSH RIVAL BODY.

London. Oct. 6.--Russian internal af-
fairs still claim precedence in interest
over happenings along the Russian
front. The democratic congress ad-
journed after providing for the crea-
ton of a parliament OF 305 members.
which is expected TO sit until the con-
stituent assembly is elected. The Petro-
grad radicals now seem disappointed at
the result of this congress. and have
called a session of the soldiers and
workmen's delegates to meet in Petro-
grad. bringing up the threat of an op-
position parliament. as they apparently
consider the conservative influence too
strong in the body authorized by the
congress.
The cabinet situation in Petrograd
still is complex. but hope is expressed
by the government that an adjustment
for a coalition ministry will be reached.
Admission to the cabinet of constitu.
tional democrats still seems to be the
point at issue.

u. S. RECOGNIZES
SUB War WEAKER
REDUCES by NEARLY s5 PER CENT
SEA RISK INSURANCE FOR
AMERICAN VESSELS.

Washington. Oct. "a reduction OF
nearly 25 per cent in premiums for in
surance of American vessels and cargoes
traversing the war zone was announced
today by thegovernment's war risk in
surance bureau.
The reduction was made. 1t was Off
cially announced. because of the de
crease i'm the risks" Unofiicially, il was
regarded as the governments expression
of it's opinion. in terms OF dollars and
cents, that the U-boats have passed the
zenith in their campaign of frightful
ness.
Indications have been for the past
three weeks that the government intend
ed to revise its war risk insurance rates.
1t hardly was though, however. that the
cut would be large.
Announcement of the reduction was
made in this cryptic statement by the
treasury department;
THE secretary of the treasury today
announced that the bureau of war risk
insurance has reduced its rates on all
American steamers and cargoes travers-
ing the war zone from 6is per cent to
per cent
This reduction is made because Of
corresponding decrease in the risks"
Determination of the risk premium is
based upon many factors, but primarily
n the number OF vessels traversing the
war zone and the number of sinkings.
The effectiveness of methods used IN
combating submarines also enters large
ly into consideration.
Todays announcement marks the first
reduction in any government insurance
risk to any waters infested by subma-
rines. Heretofore the revisions have all
heen upward
Steady diminution in the number of
weekly sinkings since September is
primarily responsible for the decrease in
rates announced today.

WAR SUMMARY.

Big gun actions are in progress along
the Flanders front with indications
that the Germans as usual in this form
OF combat are playing the secondary
role

day nights activities mentions only
the announced increased fire from Ger
man artillery, falling To reveal what
his own gunners are doing. the state
ment recording in addition only the
fact that there was no infantry move
ment by the Germans during the day
except by a raiding party in the vicinity
of Hollebeke, which was driven off.
Press reports, however, show that
the Germans are suffering heavily
from the. effects OF the British artil.

which they still were clinging after
Thursdays attack have become too hot

from these the German lines have been

preventing German countefattacks
from being launched as promptly or
proving as effective as they formerly
We're.
The Germans still are trying to re-
trieve some of their lost ground north
of Verdun. An attack Friday night
near Hill 344 was unsuccessful in dis
lodging the French, except temporarily
from an advanced position. The line
was shortly afterward reestablished
