 Hour of Distress.

 Since that date mere than dozen addition divisions have been re- placed.
 The word received here indicates similar losses of the enemy on the British front.

CEN. KoRNiLoFf QUITS

PETROGRAD, May 14.-GeneraI kornlloff, commander of the Petro- grad garrison, resigned today, and before the resignation had been ac- cepted, left for the front.
 The General explained, before go-
 ing, that his resignation was due to the impossible position arising from the efforts of the labor element or ganization to control the garrison and he added: "We'l let them alone and let them take the responsibility which will ensue."
 The greatest excitement is felt in army circles over the two resigna- tions today and it is freely stated that other prominent men in the mil itary and naval affairs will resign. The laborites arc plainly cognizant of the conditions and are trying to beat back and let those who are in a position to govern do 50, but are being urged on by German peace money to sue for terms.
