FIRST SERVICES
IN THE AMERICAN.
TRAINING CAMP

American Training Camp in France,
July 22.-(By the Associated Press).-The
chaplains with the American troops be-
gan their Sabbath duties early today and
by o'clock most of them were in auto
mobiles which carried them from one en-
campment to another. They spoke briefly
to the men, delivering no sermons in the
customary sense of the word. but talking
to and with the soldiers.
The substance of their talk was warn
ing to the men to remember they were
engaged in a mans game. not child 8.
and to act accordingly.
More than one chaplain paid high CON-
pliment to the soldiers for their manly
bearing and urged continuance of the
attitude which has permitted the men to
settle down in the community without the
slightest friction and without any of the
evils which sometimes occur in such cir
cumstances.
The services today, which were the first
since the arrival of the troops, were I'M
denominational In the main. Soldiers OF
the Catholic faith not only attended the
chaplains' talks but in many instances
went to the small Catholic churches that
dot this section of France.

PARTIALLY SOLVE
RUSSIAN CRISIS

Petrograd. July 22.-An authorized
statement announces that partial So
luton of the ministerial crisis was
reached at a ministerial council held
Sunday morning and confirms that the
principal reason Of Prince Lvoff's res
ignation from the premiership was the
agrnrian policy. on which an irrecon-
cilable difference arose between the
premier and the soldiers minister.
".All the remaining ministers are
agreed on the subject and also on the
inopportuneness Of the present diff
cult moment when our front is brok-
en-. for raising questions such as
whether the Dumas and council of
states should be dissolved-question
which are unmportant from the view
point of the governments activity.
The statement confirms the ministe-
rial changes already announced. except
n. V. Nekrasoff has been appointed
minister without portfolio to act as
premier during the absence of the
prime minister.
