SITUATION IN PETROGRAD

Petrograd, September 12-According to statements made by members of the cabinet late last night and the, news ofs this morning. the situation of the steadily to improve, although in view of what is regarded as the desperate position of General Korniloff and his associates in the revolt, with whom it is declared the government will tolerate no compromise, there still exists the danger of armed collision.
 The measures for the defense of the capital are complete Troops upon whom the government can rely continue to ar rive, while the small minority of Korn- iioff sympathizers in Potgrograd appears thoroughly cowed Similar conditions are reported from Moscow, where a notable effect was produced through the issuance of a proclamation in favor of the government by Mayor Rudnedd, whose address of welcome to General Korniloff on his arrival for the recent Moscow conference was at the time re- garded as q demonstration of the Mos COW industrial leaders counter revolu- tionary sentiment.
 Finance Minister NeiErasoff, Premier Kerensky's mouthpiece for the giving out of news, again declared early today that governments position was satisfactory and that it was untrue that Korniloff troops had been allowed to occupy Tos- na; that dissension among the Korni- lotI fcrccs was general, while there was absolute solidarity among the govern mental troops.
 Many additional assurances of loyalty from generals and political organizations have been received by the government.
 Regarding the provisioning of the cap ital in case of it's investment, M Pies- chehonoff, the minister of supplies de- clares there is no danger of shortage
 The Bolshevilxi element Is considered absolutely solid for the present govern ment. It Is organizing it's own forces against those of Korniloff.

Pctrograd, September 12.-The following statement. which was signed. s.kerensky. prime minister and commander in chief,r was given out here today:
 "On this date. in accordance with the decision of the provis- ionaI government, I am charged with the office of commander in chief of the armed forces of the country. The senseless effort at military mutiny by inc late com mapdcr in chief and in small group of generals has ended in complete failure. The guilty mu- tinecrs will be delivered to the revolutionary military tribunal.
 .sThc bIoodless liquidation of the mutiny shows the wisdom of the Russian people and its army and navy in the persons of the gen. erals, admirnis, officers, soldiers and sailors. who in the face of stern enemy remained loyal to their duty to the fatherland and their legal government.

Reports from Petrograd arc to the effect that Kornilofrs march on Pe- trograd has been checked and that even his retreat has been cut off by forces faithful to the provisional gov ernment; also that there have been further defections from the ranks Of Korniloff. and that a great majority of the commanders at the front are still adhering to the government. A statement issued by the vice premier said the country was with Kerensky, who is defending the revolution against General Korniloff. the defend CT of the reactionaries."
 Meanwhile tLe spirit of unrest seems to have invaded Moscow.
 One of the bright spots in the situa- ton is the offer to the central commit tee of the constitutional democratic party to aid in the reconstitution of the cabinet so as to avoid civil war
 Of great interest on the political side of the war also is the actios of the Argentine government in sending passports to the German minister for his connection with dispatches sent to Germany through the Swedish lega- tion. Argentina has requested a dis avowal by Germany of the minister's action, and it is said, will withdraw her minister from Berlin if acquiescence Is not forthcoming.
 Meanwhile the British minister at Stockholm has visited the Swedish for eign office and expressed amazement over the American state departments charges against the Swedish govern
 ment, and the fact that Sweden has naA given Great Britain any explanation of why coded German messages were permitted to pass through the legation at Buenos Aires.
 Late reports from Buenos Aires say 1 that the German legation and Ger man newspaper buildings have been attacked by mobs carrying out an anti-German demonstration. On the battle fronts the military ac- tivity generally is far below that of l past weeks On the line in France and 1 Belgium only artillery duels and conn paratively small operations by the in | fantry are being carried out Some 1 further advances have been made by | the French in Champagne near St. Souplet where General Petain won three lines of trenches.
 Monte San Gabrielle. in the Austro- | Italian theatre, has been the scene of another vicious attack by the Aus I trians in an endeavor to dislodge the !! Italians from recently captured posi-. lions. Their efforts met with no suc- l cess.
 In the battle of Riga. according to l the German war office. $500 Russians were made prisoner and 325 guns and large quantities of war stores were l captured. The fighting on this front has now dwindled to skirmishes be- tween reconncitering attachments. Great Britain's losses in large mer- chant vessels sunk by mines or sub Imarines last week were the smallest since Germany began her intensive
 submarine campaign. Only i2 larEe
 vessels were destroyed.

 The state department today was still without report from Ambassador Francis concerning the Korniloff movement and at the Russian embassy 1t was said dispatches gave no clear explanation of the crisis.
 Some doubt Is felt here that the new commander in chief, Maj. Gen. Bonch Bruevitch. is sufficiently well known throughout the Russian army ranks to inspire great enthusiasm among the troops, although he is known as an able commander who has risen from the rank of colonel Iii this war by display of executive abii- ity. For this reason special interest was taken in advices that Premier Kerensisy might assume command of all the armies, supplementing his per sonality as a factor in the military situation with the expert technical ad vice of generals whose loyalty is un- questioned.

By Suffragists at
White House Gates
Women Are Not Molested by
Police-Wilson on May
flower

Washington, July 21.-"Silent picket
ing" at the White House gates was re-
sumed by twelve members Of the Wom-
ems party to-day, without interference
from the police or citizens.
II was the first time since the women
staged their suffrage demonstration for
the benefit Of the Russian mission that
the women had been permitted to pa
rade their banners before the White
House unmolested.
They abandoned their posts at
o'clock this afternoon, but said they
would return Monday.
II is understood that since Presi-
dent Wilson pardoned the sixteen
members Of the Women's party SEN
fenced to serve sixty days in the work
house for their activities the police
have been ordered 10 pay no attention
to the "pickets" so long as they. do
not display banners with inscriptions
insulting to the President or treason
able.
Apparently the women, ss well as the
small crowd that gathered upon their
appearance, were ksenly disappointed
over the tame result. Arrests had been
expected, and legal advisers. including
Dudley Field Malone, were preparing
for the fight TO be made to prevent fur
Their stays in jail.
President Wilson was not In The
White House. He is taking a weekend
cruise on the Mayfower.

Pork Bill Receives
Setback in Senate;
Not War Measure
Debate Cut Off When 1t Is Urged
as Unfinished Business.
Iron The Tribune Bureau


Washington. July 21.-Hard sled
ding for the Rivers and Harbors bill
was indicated to-day when, FOLLOWING
the passage of the Food Control and
Aviation bills by the Senate, an effort
was made to fix the pork measure as
unfinished business.
The motion was made by Senator
Fletcher, of Florida, chairman Of the
Commerce Committee and an advocate
Of developing at government expense
all the streams in the country, but es-
pecially in the South.
Senator Borah said the Senate
wanted time to consider whether il
should make this bill unfinished bust
ness.
This is not a war measure" he
said. "And | am not sure we want to
consider it at this time"
at is as near war measure as any
thing could be-" said Senator Fletcher,
Indignantly.
Chairman Stone, Of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee was about to move an
executive session when Mr.. Borah made
motion to close the doors, which
automatically cut off debate, and with
it the pork bills opportunity for the
time being.
The action of the House, when pass
ing the Rivers and Harbors bill, in
voting down an amendment which
would give the President the discre-
ton TO eliminate such items as he did
not consider necessary to the national
defence, has punctured the claims OF
the bill'. friends that it is a war
measure.
