SiluersheH and U-Boat
FOUGHT in Mediterranean

Paris. June The American steamer
Silvershell has had battle with sub
marine in the Mediterranean. After an
exchange of sixty shots, the submarine
disappeared.
Details of the fight were made public
to-day by the Ministry Of Marine. The
Silvershell. commanded by Captain Tom
Charlton, sighted the submarine on May
80. In the running fight which followed
the American boat proved speedler
than its enemy. and seemed also TO be
the master in guniire. The disappear
anco Of the submarine was sudden.
Rear Admiral Lacaze, Minister OF
Marine. said it was unknown whether
the submarine was sunk by shot from
tho Silvershell or submerged volun-
tarily to avoid further punishment. II
was always impossible, he said. to as
certain whether a submarine " hlch DIS
appeared had been destroyed unless
wreckage was discovered later. None
the less. he considered the result OF
this engagement highly credltable TO
the Silvershell.

Kerensky Bringing
Strict Discipline
To Russian Army
Improvement in Situation
Reported in Washing
ton Dispatches
fBy TIE Associated Pres }

Washington, June Improvement
in tho Russian situation was reported
n official dispatches to-day telling Of
stricter discipline in the army. which
was seriously threatened by the pollti-
cal upheaval, and the sweeping away
Of all caste. This is assumed to be
result Of the efforts OF Minister OF war
Kerensky, who has been touring the
fronts.
Official reports from Russia always
have been much more optimistic tnan
press dispatches and consistently have
secuted the idea Of a separate peace.
This has upheld confidence among
State Department officials, who hope
that the revolution, though throwing
the allied offensives on the belgian
French and Italian fronts entirely OUT
Of yea in the end would prove one OF
democl VS. great triumphs of the war.
The e. eat effort here now IS TO be
friendly and sympathetic toward M
provisional authorities at Petrograd,
rather than dstrustful and intrusive.
The government has adopted firm
policy Of not allowing the slightest
suspicion 20 arise that II is trying 10
interfere in the internal affairs Of
Russia. while at the same time stand
ing ready and anxious 20 be OF all
possible aid whenever the hint Is given.

Socialists Saved Day

Petrograd, June THE kronstadt
incident is closed The local commit
tee of Workmen's and Soldiers Dele
gates has recognized the authority OF
the Provisional Government.
The so-called Kronstadt republic sur
rendered Internationally to the Pro-
visional Government. The peace agree
ment was signed by Anatole Lamanoff'
president of the Kronstadt Council. 1t
was negotiated on behalf Of the Pro-
visional Government by VI. Tseretelli.
Minister of Posts and Telegraphs, and
VI. Skobelef, Minister of Labor, who
arrived in Kronstadt on Tuesday.
The negotiations at first were carried
on with the Kronstadt executive. The
ministers then addressed the full coun-
Gil and finally made speeches TO crowds
in the streets. The peace agreement
says:
an accord with the decision OF ma
jority Of the Petrograd Council Of
Deputies, which acknowledges that the
present Provisional Government is in
vested with complete authority in the
state, we on our side also recognize
that authority"
Kronstadt further agrees to submit
its choice of civil administrators for
the approval of the Provisional Govern
ment. making them responsible to Pet
rograd. An overwhelming majority Of
the kronstadt Council Of Deputies
voted for the surrender.
The local committee Of the Work
mems and Soldiers Delegates at kron-
stadt decided on June 10 assume con-
troll Of the great fortress and 20 refuse
recognition of the Provisional Govern
ment The government officials were
removed. The secessionists put for
ward a programme Of splitting Russia
up into a great number of self-govern-
ing communities and sent missionaries
out 10 try and persuade neighboring
towns 10 join them. The Socialist min
listers in the Provisional Cabinet. Mn.
Tseretelli and Skobeleff, went to kron-
stadt from Petrograd and endeavored
to persuade the seceders to abandon
their plan. The present surrender Is
apparently result OF their arguments.

EXPRESS RATES

COURT TO ANNUL
INJUNCTION.

Sioux Falls, Feb. 2.-The Ameri-
can and Wells Fargo express COM
panies today asked the United States
supreme court to annul an injunction
of South Dakota courts prohibiting
them from putting into effect in
creased rates in accordance with an
interstate commerce commission or
der. Federal and state regulation
questions are involved.
The conflict between state and fed
eral powers In the regulation of com
merce began TO be of increasing inn
portance in 1911 with the order of
the state railway commission TO the
express companies operating in this
state TO reduce rates approximately
so per cent. Iowa jobbing interests
charged. in a protest to the interstate
commerce commission, that the order
of the state commission had the eff
feet of creating discrimination
against them. In September, 1916,
the interstate commerce commission
ordered the express companies to re-
move the discrimination and publish
new tariffs. South Dakota authori-
ties were denied a temporary iniunc-
ton in the northern Iowa United
States district court, restraining the
express companies from making OPP
erative the new South Dakota SEIZED
ules. On September IL, the state
board of railway commissioners OBJ
tanned from the state supreme court
an injunction prohibiting the express
companies from putting into effect
the increased rates and a special
court of federal district judges later
refused to set il aside.
