PETROGRAD GOVERNOR
 SHOT IN THE BACK
Gen. Erdelli Victim of Preach cry of RiOters-Members of Cabinet Resign, Then With draw Their designations.

Petrograd, Aug. 3-Gen. Erdelli, military governor of Petrograd, says the Bourse Gazette, has been killed. He was treacherously shot in the back
 On July 23 it was announced that Gen. Erdelli had been appointed mili- tary governor of Petrograd in sue cession to Gen. Polovtseff, who had resigned after failing to put down rioting in the Russian capital.
 Gen. Erdelli had been commander of the Eleventh army.
 Premier and War Minister Kerens- ky and all the other members of his cabinet, except Vice Premier Nekra- soff, resigned tonight. Later, with the exception of M. Terestchenko, the foreign minister, they withdrew their resignations.
 The action of Premier Kerensky and his fellow cabinet members came about as result of accusations oSolIioC 4h' ANhCi HUI, SOCldllSl, lIlS minister of agriculture, and com plete breakdown of the negotiations to bring the constitutional democrats into the cabinet. M. Tchernoff was accused of having been connected with the German general staff.
 A last attempt will made to re- construct the ministry under Premier Kerensky with the chief new mem- bers being exclusively from the so- cialist and radical parties
 In letter to Premier Kerensky, M. Tchernoff said he was resigning to obtain freedom of action in order to defend his character against the calumny that he had been connected with the German general staff.
 The government accepted the resig- nation at the same time expressing the conviction that M. Tchernof will succeed in rehabilitating himself.
 Vice Premier Nebrasoff informed the Associated Press that some of the documents supposed to incriminate M. Tchernotf already had been ex- amined He considers the charges against the minister of agriculture as not being very grave, but the cabinet was obliged to accept the resignation provisionally.

RAIN FAILS TO STOP
 BATTLE IN FLANDERS
U-Boat Bases Objective of AL lied Drive in Flatlands-Of- fensive on California and CaSemate PlateauX Fail.

London, Aug. 3.-Torrental rains, sweeping the Belgian flat lands, have not quenched the ardor of the British troops.
 "The U-boat bases if it takes until Christmas" is the word going up and down the lines and the Tommies and Anzacs and Poilus are only waiting a halt in the rainfall to go over the top again.
 The operation undertaken by the Anglo-French armies in Flanders is beginning to reveal itself as one of the most difficult actions of the war. The country through which the troops must advance is absolutely fat-the ideal terrain for trench warfare-and the Germans have fortified it to the last inch during their months of oc- cupation.
 Not only is it flat and difficult for the artillery, but it is under present conditions vast bog for the greater part of the year, rendering infantry operations hazardous and effective ar tillery transportation almost impos- sible.
 But it is through this wilderness of wavy mud that the British and French troops are determined to seek deci- sion. Only the breaking of the clouds remains for them to again come to grips with the Germans. One of the first results of the inn portant German conference at Brus- sels, where the kaisesr presided and which was attended by all the mili- tary chiefs of the west, is declared to be heavy reinforcement of Crown Prince Rupprecht's lines. German forces are to be withdrawn from the already paper lira" in the east to form a great reserve in Flanders it is reported. The French are preventing the German withdrawals from other sections of the western front.
 The German strategy already is making itself evident. It is the old strategy of the junkers. based on the military tenet that the "best defensive is strong offensive.'
 1 So, already, despite the worst wea- ther conditions possible, the German leaders are sending in strong forces of desperate counter attacks against ground already won by the allies

HOJISF APPROVES FOOD
 CONTROL AND SURVEY
Tn Re Taken Up in Senate To- day-Adopted Tuesday Mi nority Report is Only Danger ms Stumbling Block.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Conference ronorts on both the administration food control bill and the food survey h;ll were adopted virtually without ornosition today by the House. They will he taken up in the Senate tomor- row but probably not adopted before Tuesday. Opposition by Senator Gore Democrat. chairman of the agricul- +nre committee, who may file a minor itv report, now appears to be the only dangerous stumbling block for them.
 Not vote was recorded in the House against the long disputed con ference report on the control bill Representative Powers of Kentucky, after an unsuccessful ecort to recom- mil if. voted in the negative and then changed his vote. The only other show of opposition came from Repre- sentative McLamore of Texas, who voted present" On the food survey measure the vote was viva voce, with only few scattering ''noes."
 A patriotic appeal by Representa- tive Kahn of California, was the fea- ture of the debate. Amid applause from both sides he urged united sup port of President Wilson. He em- phatically indorsed the conferees' ac- tion in eliminating the Senate war expenditures committee amendment, opposed by the president, and fav- ored by some Republican House lead CTS.
 T want to congratulate the House cOnferees particularly for knocking from this bill the provision for a
 ,oopng committee, said Mir. Kahn. The duty of Congress at present is to present a solid front in standing behind the president. He will have to give an account of his stewardship later. Let us not hamper him now"
 Contrary to expectations, neither the changes in the prohibition section nor the elimination of the war eXpen- ditures committee provision caused much discussion. Representative Bark ley of Kentucky, one of the dry lead CTS, declared his satisfaction with the revised prohibition section, which would prohibit manufacture of dis titled liquors and give the president power 10 commander liquor and to prohibit the making of beer and wines.

1000 MEN WILL FIGHT
 DODGERS O.? DRAFT
POssemen After 400 OklahOm- ans Resisting in Camp-Vio- fence Threatens When Forces of Law Reach Scene.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. 3-One thousand armed possemen, collected from Seminole, Hughes, Pontotoc, Ok mulgee and Pottawatomie counties, plan to make an attack at daybreak tomorrow morning upon the mob of 400 draft registers who are now en- campel near Sasakawa, in Southern Seminole county, according to word from the scene of the trouble late last night.
 Under orders from Adjt- Gen. An eel Earp to give whatever assistance they can to local officers and posse men, 20 deputized civilians from Okla homa City, carrying large quantity of arms and ammunition, left for Wewoka last night.
 Guardsmen will be used as a last resort, the adjutant-general said, but local officers who sent in a call for help seemed to think they would have enough men to handle the situation.
 Organized bands of negroes, tenant farmers and Indians, whose purpose is to defeat the selective service law in Oklahoma, have spread a reign of terror through at least three counties in the central part of the state, par tially destroyed two bridges, aban- doned the crops, severed wire com munications, plan raids on ranches and stores and threaten to burn all the bridges in the district, according to reports received at the office of Gov. Williams here today.

can show cards and spades to the an
gels! I'm out for the good things of
life, and make no bones over it. But
that doesn't prevent me from being a
blooming benefactor as well. If you
wish to know the real reason why I'm
resigning, it's because I have planned
to go on to Washington with the dele
cation, and pull wires to get the tribe
a big slice Of graft for their mineral
lands.'
Hardy saw the frank sincerity in his
companions eyes, and responded to
the assertion with an instant apology
"Mr. Vandervyn, I beg your pardon
for misjudging you. At times your
conduct has been ill-advised, but ]
no longer doubt your good Intentions u
1T takes an officer and gentleman to
eat crow as if it were quail !" rallied
Vandervyn with seemingly genial sar.
casn1. "Do understand that my res,
ignati0n is accepted?"
If you insist"
II do. Now that is settled. We
make the return trip as equals" said
Vandervyn, and, as if freed from all
rancor by the thought, he fell into 8
mood Of suave gayety.

"You seel"' agreed Hardy. II can't

ord, as Mr.. Vandervyn has so aptly
expressed it."
Marie's challenging gaze softened,
and she looked thoughtfully down at
her white hands.
isn't even self-sacrifice a form of
selfishness?" she murmured.
The appearance of the Indian boy
in the dining room doorway checked
Hardy's reply.
During supper the girl remained
unusually thoughtful and silent. Har-
dy discussed with Dupont plans for
the instruction of the tribe in agricul-
ture. The idea had occurred to him
that the government might permit him
to build an irrigation system for the
farming LANDS Of the tribe, using In
dian laborers, and paying for the
work out Of money appropriated fol
the sale of the mineral lands. When
Vandervyn chose to listen, it was
with a half-amused smile that did not
always cover the underlying cynical
irony. Most of the time he devoted
himself to an attempt to rally Marie
out Of her thoughtfulness. Instead
Of responding, she became more pen
