STATEMENT OF
LEADER OF ANTS

Portland, Me-. Sept. 10-Mrs. Clar-
ence Hale, president of the Maine So
ciety Opposed to Suffrage for Wo-
men, made the following statement
tonight:
THE present election on woman's
suffrage we believe is but another il
lustration of the proverb AS goes
Maine so goes the Union Maine has
given good majority against wo-
mans suffrage. Massachusetts, went
two to one against in 1915.
1T would seem that nothing fur
Their is needed to prove that the East
is not in favor of the womans en-
trance into political life. The result
of the election should satisfy the pub
lie and if suffragists really practice
the principles of democracy which they
never fail to preach they will accept
this decision as final for many years

Drastic Measures Taken

Succinctly, Gen. Korniloff, command
err in chief of the army, backed by a
group of political agitators, has de-
manded for himself dictatorial powers
by the surrender of the government
into his hands. kerensky refused to
comply with the demand and had had
incarcerated in the Petropavlovsk fort
ress NJ. Lvoff, member of the Duma
who acted as Kornloff's mediary and
who under a severe examination has
had wrung from him the details of the
plot to overthrow the government and
bring about a return Of the despots
regimes. The names of the chief con-
spirators in the plot also have been as
certained. and these men doubtless will
receive punishment at the hands of the
government.
AS for Korniloff, he has been deposed
from the chief command Of the army,
while Gen. Lokomsmy has been pro-
nounced a traitor for refusing to take
up korniloffs duty.

Sweden Must Define Position
Watch North Europe Neutrals

Washington, Sept. 10.-While the
American government awaited devei-
opments today following Secretary
Lansings disclosures regarding the
transmission of official German dis
patches by the Swedish charge at
Buenos Ayres, Washington officials
and foreign diplomatists turned their
attention to a study of their possible
Significance. Two facts stood clearly
in the minds of most observers.
Must Define Position
Sweden will be compelled to make
definite her position as a neutral and
exposure may be taken as indicating
more exactly the intention of the al
lies to see that Germany shall cease
receiving aid from all the northern
European neutrals.
Publication of the facts, although
disclosing nothing. the governments
expert administrative board has not
known for some time, reveals to the
public that this government is fully
cognizant of aid which Sweden has
been rendering the CentrOi Powers
and tends to cement opinion in sup

Argentina Has Much Wheat

Another phase of the situation that is
given careful attention here is the pos
sible effect If Argentina breaks relations
with Germany or declares war. Argen-
tina this winter will have large quanti-
ties OF wheat for export and as neu-
trail she might send much of it to the Eu-
ropean neutrals under the operation Of
the British blockade. AS a belligerent or
with diplomatic relations broken, howev.
er, the Argentine government probably
would take control of its exports and
carefully supervise all shipments TO the
neutrals to prevent any foodstuffs from
reaching Germany.
1t was made clear at the state depart
ment today that while serious situation
had been presented by the discovery Of
the uses to which the Swedish foreign
service has been put. there was no occa-
sion to assume that II was one calling for
break in the relations Of the two coun-
tries.

kornilof Forces Feel Sure


korniIoff Forces Feel Sure
The open fashion in which the de-
posed commander demanded from
Premier kerensky a virtual dictator
ship and the adherence to his plans of
Deputy Lvoff with his following of
the Dunla and powerful members of
the intellectual and military classes,
indicate that the korniloff forces feel
sure they can succeed.
Unless the differences can be COM
posed. it is feared Russia may sink
deeper into political disorganization
and fall prey either to German con-
quorers or the threatened monarchial
reaction.
Discipline Chief Point
Without official dispatches explain
ing in full the tangled situation, il is
understood here the chief point at is
sue is the organization of the army
along strict disciplinary lines, includ
ing tie death penalty for soldiers vi
olating orders, advocated persstently
by Gen. Korniloff. Although Premier
kerenskv ha~ declared himself for the
korniloff program the provisional gov
ernmcnt has exercised check on the
death sentence through government
reviewing commissioners at the front.
Apparently Gen Kornilon despaired OF
improving the situation by CARRYING out
his frequent threats to resign and final
ly became satisfied that his influence was
sufficiently powerful to wrest the entire
government from the provisional cabinet.
No Compromise for kerensky
The provisional governments declara-
ton of martial law in Petrograd and the
substitution of Gtn. klembovsky as COM
mander in chief is accepted as indicating
that '<erensky does not count on COM
promise tactics and is ready to apply his
policy Of blood and iron" if necessary
against the revolt.
IA CLEAN Of hope came from Foreign
Minister Lerstchenkos statement in an
interview today that he believed the re-
volt mot dangerous and party due to
misunderstanding which will be cleared
up"
Not MonarchiaE Plot
In this connection it is explained by
persons familiar with the Russian poll
tics that Gen. korniloff's action has no
COnneCtlOn WIN the recently disclosed
plot 20 restore the monarchy, but it is
intended by its promoters only as the
quickest means to the common end Of
preserving Russian democracy against
Germany.
A number of times recently it has been
denied by the provisional ministers that
the government was at odds with Gen.
Korniloff over army discipline problems,
despite reports that Korniloff repeatedly
has threatened to resign II army officers
were not given more power to enforce dis
cipline 1t was recalled that last May he
resigned as commander of the Petrograd
garrison because workmens and soldiers
delegates insisted on a referendum on
military matters.
At shat time the Workmens and Sol

did not cease to put check on absolute
authority.
