REBEL
Russian Govt Declares State OF
War in Turkestan.
Troops Seize and Beat Officers
as Revolution Flares Up.

Petrograd, Oct. 5.-The government
has declared a state of war in Turke-
stan, where revolutionary movements
broke out early this week.
The situation appeared to be becom-
ing normal when it suddenly flared
up again.
AS a protest against the sending of
a punitive expedition, the council OF
workmen's and soldiers delegates in
Tashkent, the capital, has proclaimed
a general strike.
A Petrograd dispatch dated October
l, said that General Cherkess, the
commander in Turkestan, had been
attacked and beaten and that other
officers had been seized by irresponsi-
BILE elements among the troops. 1t is
reported that a temporary revolution
had been organized to take all power
and that the people are in a. panic.
Russian Turkestan is composed of
four provinces in Central Asia, east
of the Caspian sea, with a population
of about 6,685,0OO

RAIN SOAKS DIAMOND
Worlds Series Opener Will Be Played
on Wet Field.

Chicago. Ill. Oct. 5.-The weather
man bombed Chicago with several
tons of rain shortly before noon to-
day, necessitating withdrawal of the

fecting its positions in the Comiskey

Field Marshal McGraw's invaders
were scheduled to advance on the park

doubtful if the Giants could do more
than emulate the sedentary occupation
of their enemy.

Killers From the Sky.
BY IoWELL MELLETT.

London, Oct. 5.-What will be in eff
feet a department of retaliation" is
England's answer today to the public
demand that the German sky devil be
fought with fire.
The war cabinet decided to carry
cut an elaborate program of strict re-
tLliation on German cities for German
air mems murder raids over English
cities. 1t will be practically an aerial
offensive of tremendous proportions.
General South, who with Premier
Lloyd George is credited with invent
ing the aerial barrage which has prov
en- partly successful in repelling rand
ers on London, appeared likely to be
selected as the man in charge of new
aero department.
Operate Independent Dept.
He will operate independently of the
royal flying corps of the army or the
royal navy aero service, but will call
on both those branches for co-opera-
ton.
First fruit of this decision that
England must return measure for

a speeding up of aeroplane produc-

ON VERGE CIVIL WAR
Bolsheviki Leader Makes Sensational
Speech in Russian Congress.

Petrograd, Oct. 5.--Russia is def
initely on the verge of civil war. Leo
Trotsky chief lieutenant of Nicholas
Lenine leader of the Bolsheviki, de-
clared in a speech today before the
democratic congress following its re-
lection of the plan for a new coalition
cabinet
Trotsky is a bitter opponent of
Kerensky, and his appearance before
the congress after the government
threatened to arrest Lenine if he
should appear in Petrograd, created a
big sensation.
Civil war now appears inevitable" :"
Trotsky said. THE Proletariat is definite
ly arrayed against the Bourgeoise. 1 doubt
only whether the assumption of full power
by the council of workmen and soldiers
will go beyond organized forms take the
form of sanguinary street fighting. 1
promise in the name of my party that it
will never attempt to seize the powers of
government forcibly, but warn those who
stand in the way of the complete triumph
of the Proletariat that the masses will
brook interference with their repre-
sentatives that they will occupy the streets
and arrest the government If their demands
are rejected

BLANKETS FOR SOLDIERS.

Topeka's volunteer soldiers-several
hundred of them-are due to discom-

Fort Sill, owing to the lack f army
blankets. The cold weather is coming
on and there wilr be intense suffer-

diate relief is offered Apparently
the government can make no promises
and once more it is up to the folks
at home" to take care of their democ-
rccy defenders. The Military Sister,
hood of Topeka has taken charge of
relief work in this city and a stern
appeal is sent out over the city today.
Any Topekan who can spare a COM
fcrt a blanket or a quilt is asked to
send it to the headquarters of the sis

clothing will be forwarded at once to
the boys at Fort Sill. The government
undoubtedly is facing a big problem
of taking care of the growing mil
liens who are being trained after vol
unteering and draft to fight our bat
ties in France. There is no time now,
however, to waste in bringing down

TEST AFOLLETTE
Senate Orders Investigation of
Alleged DislOyalty.
Ordered To Report in Decem-
ber-DrOp Stone Charges.

Washington Oct. 5.-A formal pre-
liminary inquiry into the alleged dis
loyal speech of Senator La Toilette, of
Wisconsin, made before the Nom
Partisan league at st. Paul. a fort
night ago, was ordered today by the
senate privileges and elections COM
mittee.
Appointment of a subcommittee of
five members was directed with Ru-
thority limited, first, to inquire into
the correctness of senator La Follette's
speech and second into the correct
ness of his statement made therein.
The limited scope of the inquiry was
regarded as temporary action upon the
numerous petitions presented to the
senate for the Wisconsin senator's ex-
pulsion. The subcommittee which
probably will be appointed during the
day and will be headed by Senator
Pomerene of Ohio. was ordered to re-
port at the December session of con-
gress.
The senate committee took up petit
tions charging Senator Stone, of Mis-
souri,, chairman of the senate foreign
relations committee, with disloyal
statements and acts and decided that
the charges made did not warrant any
investigation of the Missouri senator.
VIII Take it Before Senate.
The senate committees decision was
reached after a tYO-hour session and with
a speech in the senate by Senator La Fol-
authorized to request authority to en-
ploy stenographers and MAKE other nee
essary expenditures, indicating that for
NAL hearings may be had with possible
examination of witnesses at st. Paul.
The resolution for authority to make the
subcommittee inquiry and for its general
| authority was scheduled to be brought be-
fore the senate later today and many
| thought it would be the basis of sharp
| debate in connection with the proposed
! speech of Senator LaFOllette replying to
his critics.

KAISER TO PAY IN FULL
Reichstag Votes for Damages to Own
ers of Seized Merchant Ships.

Amsterdam, Oct 5.-The German
reichstag has adopted the bill for bill
for restoration of the German ner-
chant fleet, according to Berlin dis
patches today.
Albert Ballin. the great German
shipping trust" head, was recently
reported to have quarreled violently
with the kaiser over the question of
indemnity to be paid German ship
owners by the government on account
of German ships seized by the allies
and their sympathizers.
The kaiser sought to restore Ger
man shipping by making a partial
payment on the value of these ships,
while Ballin was reported to have
stood firm for full value.
Presumably full value is mean in
the bill mentioned above, since it
specifies "restora ton"
