KERENSKY MAN TO
SAVE RUSSIAN EMPIRE

Petrograd, Aug. A (via London Aug.
5)-The all-night political conference
at the winter palace which was con-
cluded this morning by the passage
of resolution in which confidence
in Premier Kerensky was expressed
by each of the five parties represent
ed and in which he was invited to
form his own cabinet, was conducted
in the strictest order, but with intense
emotion. All the participants were
obviously convinced that the decision
which was to be reached meant Rus
sia's regeneration or her ruin.
In conversation with the Associated
Press correspondent who was per-
mitted to be present, the ministers
declared the conference to be the
most momentous event in the history
of the empire since 1913, when, dur
ing the troublous times of the Polish
war and internal anarchy, the cleo
tion of the first Romanoff by SINH
lar conference of notables at Moscow
saved the country from dissolution.
The debate resolved itself into a
series of panegyrics of the absent
kerensky, who was acclaimed the
only man invested with the qualities
necessary to restore order while pre-
serving liberty Foreign Minister Ter
estchenko declared that peace was in
conceivable, that Russia must prepare
to fight throughout the winter and
that Premier Kerensky alone pos
sessed the confidence Of the nation
M. Tseretelli. the minister of posts
and telegraphs, in an emotional
speech, echoed the view that Keren-
sky was the only man who could save
the country. In order to alleviate
his task, declared the speaker, the
government would abstain from fore
ing through the party program.
After these men had spoken, the
procurator of the Holy Synod, NJ.
Lvoff, rose and said that he, too,
considered the premier the man des-
tined to be Russia's savior.
Minister of Justice Efremoff said
almost the same words in turn. de-
scribing the premier as an indispensa-
BILE man.
Paul N. Milukoff leader of the
constitutional democrats, stated that
his party was still ready to attempt
the formation of coalition govern
ment with M. Kerensky as chief
who had all the qualifications for
success.
After an interval the debate was
resumed and Vice Premier Nekrazoff
announced the demands that had
been made by General Korniloff for
assurances from Petrograd that he
would have drastic powers, without
which he would not take over the
chief command OF the Russiant armies.
A counter-revolution exists, added
M. Nekrazoff. and is growing day by
day Therefore. the restoration of a
strong government, he declared. must
be immediate.
The only matter on which there is
not unanimity in the counsels of the
leaders is the status of the councils
of deputies. A representative of the
council of soldiers and workmen gave
warning that in his opinion the pro-

SENATOR STONE WILL
MAKE PEACE SPEECH
Congress May Be Able to Take
Six Weeks Recess After Dis
posing of Principal LegisIa-
ton Pending,

Washington, Aug. 5.-Final enact

the leaders hoping for vacation re.
cess in September.
The entire war legislative program
again is congested in the senate
where debate on the conference re.
port of the food control bill will be
resumed tomorrow. Tuesday the
house will begin series of three.
day recess to continue for severa
weeks under agreement to transact
no important business until the wal
tax bill is ready for conference.
Same Old Prediction.
Administration leaders expressed
confidence tonight that the food leg
islation will be sent to the president
before the week end, though not un.
til after another bitter fight in the
senate. Action on the conference re-
port of the first administration food
bill, for a food survey and stimulation
of production, will follow
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee, tomorrow will pre-.
sent the war tax bill and the bi-par-
tisan committee report to the senate

two weeks and finally passd early in

new the effort to have the suffrage
to the national consti-
tuition reported by the senate woman

This resistance TO service has been

However, the discomfort which rem

beginning more than two years ago,
it is said shortly after the outbreak
of the war, when cotton prices were
low and transportation costs high,
tenant cotton farmers asserted that if
they ran out of food they would get
it by force. Since that time agitators
with promises of wealth and power
have worked continuously in the vi
cinity, finding a fertile ground for
their propaganda.
Many Homes Deserted.
Officers returning from the brush
tonight reported that many of the
homes of the malcontents had been
