GERMANS OFFER REWARD FOR THE
 FIRST AMERICAN
Four Hundred Marks Offered as Reward for First U. s.
 Soldier Dead or Alive to Be Brought In. ..

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Sept. 15 By the Associated Press) s)-German military authorities on the western front have shown concern about the imminence of the American army's entrance into the fighting by offer ing rewards for the production of the first American prisoners. The general commanding the Eleventh reserve di- vision recently put the price of 400 marks on the first American soldier brought, dead or alive, into his lines.
 Diary Discloses Plan
 This information has been discov- cred by the diary of a Prussian ser geant of the Twenty-third regiment. He wrote at the end of July:
 We are supposed to have had Americans opposite us for some time now and two divisions of Portuguese on our right. The man who brings the first American, dead or alive, has been promised the cross of the class, zoo marks and fourteen days leave from the division.
 Destruction of Town
 The diary, which covers a period of nearly two months, describes in detail the destruction af an import ant industrial city by the Germans and its transformation by a German army commander into a great mass of fortified ruins. Batteries have been planted in the cellars of private houses. factories and public buildings which have been partly demolished to gvie a better field for the fire, while the streets and squares and even the city cemetery have been torn up and enmeshed with wire to provide posi- tions for groups of machine guns.
 Search for Treasure
 The diary describes how the troops quartered in the city spent their time when not on duty in firing machine guns from the barricaded windows and roofs of building left standing, and in searching for hidden treasure and in digging among the ruins for silverware.
 Robbng Ruins
 The sergeant tells how his friends found gold watches and priceless paintings from the museums, statuary and other works of art which they are hoarding in their dugous. The cathedrals were sacked as well as the other public buildings. The German authorities have removed the bulk of the municipal and ecclesiastical val uables to Germany, but many of the inhabitants were evicted from their homes at a few hours notice when the city was cleared before its, de- struction and had no opportunity to remove their private possessions and tried to hide them. The German sol diers, it seems, were eager to serve at St. Quentin because of the chances for treasure hunts" there.
 The diary does not indicate any marked depreciation of the German morale, but emphasizes the discom- fort of the conditions of life in the field and the terrible accuracy of the French gunners, who give the Ger mans no rest.

KORNILOFF IS ARRESTED BY GOVERNMENT
 OF: RUSSIANS
Leader of Revolt Is Arrested With Many Others. Keren- sky Fails to Perfect Coali- ton Cabinet.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

PETROGRAD, Sept. 15. - General Korniloff, leader of the recent rebel lion against the provisional govern ment and General Lokomsky, the commander of the northern front who refused to take command of the Rus sian armies after Korniloff was de- posed, have been arrested.
 Negotiations.
 The surrender of General Korniloff took place only after prolonged ne gotiations during the course of which a collision seemed inevitable. When the governmental army under Gener- al Korotokoff was marching from Orsha on Mohilev, General Korniloff was negotiating with General AleXi- eff, chief of stafffi who had already reached Mohilev. but was unable to effect Korniloff's arrest owing to the fact that part of the local forces was emphatically for Korniloff and pre- pared to defend him to the last
 Conditions Outlined.
 Konriloff and Lokomsky laid down conditions under which they were willing to surrender their swords, the nature of which has not yet been re ported. Both showed considerable obstinancy and the negotiations browe down.
 kerensky Informed.
 General Alexieff telegraphed to- Premier Kerensky a description of the position at Mohilev. experssing the opinion that the majority of the local troops were siding with Korni- loff Kerensky refused to counten- ance delay and gave the order to Gen eral Alexieff to execute immediately the order of arrest and as AlexieifI still hesitated to provoke a conflict Kerensky telegraphed that AleXieff was Korniloff's prisoner and would take other measures for the explusion of the counter-revelutionis from Mo- hilev.
 Troops Concentrated.
 In the meantime government troops were being steadily concentrated, Mo- hilev barring the roads and capturing all fugitives- these being Korniloff's ordinary officer, Zavoki, who took a prominent part in the rebellion, mem bers of the officers of the army and fleet and other prominent rebels. Korniloff surrendered apparently only when General Korotokoff's forces were near Mohilev and after the defection of his last supporting troops.
