Able to Convert Grounds Into
Something Worth

It looks like Keokuk would have a

Mr.. Oyerton said this morning.
There can be little question that
the track with meets twice each year
would bring an immense amount OF
business to Keokuk, and would pro
vide some good amusement The
project being community one, IN
sures the use of the grounds to com

which appeals to everyone There
seems to be a well defined idea, too,
that baseball is, coming back ana

good grounds are going to be the ones
which will get the COIN
The plan as suggested last Saturday
was to build half mile track with a
baseball diamond in the center HELD
a big grandstand, and have room fo1
carnival attractions, public play
grounds and the like. Race meets
twice each year, in June and Septem'
Der would be very attractive, and auto
mobile races July 4 and other holi'
days during the year would prove most
acceptable. At other times there
would be baseball both professional
and amateur. The more people take
hold of the project the sooner 1t can
be accomplished, and it is sure to be
a money maker, those who have had
experience are saying.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Setp. T.-For
the first time in the history of the

radicals at home Kerensky, a radi-
cal like Lloyd-George, must bury his
personal politics for the rest Of the
war as LloydGeorge has done or Rus
sia's dangers will become unbearable
Kerensky is now trying to do this
very thing. His first effort to effect
a working agreement with the consti-
tutional democrats, who represent the
professional classes in Russia, has
temporarily failed because the ex-
IRENE socialists would not work with
the constitutional democrats. But,
while Kerensky has been unable, for
the present to bring the moderates in
to his cabinet, he has been strong
enough to keep the extremists out.
A middle-of-the-road policy is now
in action in Petrograd for the purpose
OF giving all factions time to accus-
tom themselves to new conditions. 1t
requires violent re-adjustment for
moderates and extremists to work to-
gether. England delayed in solving
the problem and France hasn't wholly
solved it.
1t is not surprising therefore that
the new non-partisan way of looking at
questions should require time to get
! into action in Russia. But it is COM

Triumph Of Democracy.
LOS ANGELES, Calf, Sept. IL
That the quelling Of Kornilofr's rebel
lion in Russia is a triumph Of the new
democracy over reactionary move
nsent, is the opinion of Lincoln Stef-
fens, author and champion Of radical
reform, who is here on lecture tour
today. Steffens was in Petrograd dur
ing the Russian revolution and re-
turned to the United States three
months ago.
"Korniloff's detection was some
thing that is incident to all revolu-
tons" Steffens declared. What Korn-
iloff tried will be tried again. He was
the tool Of others-some Of the reac-
tionaries who are anxious to restore
the old regime.
If he had been able to hold out long
enough he eventually would have
gathered about him all the forces op-
posed to the new government, but he
proved to be too weak for the task.
"Kerensky, 1 believe, will guide the
revolution successfully"
TeIeuraphs Support.
LONDON, Sept. 17.-General Kale-
dine of the Don Cossacks has tele-
sraphed, offering his support to the
provisional government, Petrograd
dispatch received today by the Even
ing News asserted.
Kaledine is understood to be the
last of the rebel leaders to announce
submission to Kerensky.
Stronger Than Ever.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Rus
sian army is driving back toward Riga
along a wide front. Within the last
five days it has advanced more than
seven miles, the Russian embassy an
nounced today. The whole Russian
military establishment is being re-
organized under General Alexieff and
discredited commanders are being
ousted.
First official cables from Petrograd
to the embassy received today were
most encouraging They showed that
the Korniloff rebellion had been put
down without bloodshed, the morale
of the troops ais splendid" and the
government Is stronger than ever"
Official word that the Korniloff de-
Election has been fixed upon his ad
visors instead Of himself, is regarded
here as an Indication that the famous
Cossack chief will not pay the death
penalty for his crime.
The cables say the Russians are fore
ing retention of more German troops
on the east front now than at any time
since the war began
The embassy issued the following
statement:
Confirmation that the Korniloff
movement has been liquidated was re-
ceived this morning. Thus far there

has been no bloodshed. The provis-
ever before.
General Korniloff has been suc-
ceeded by General Alexieff Kerensky
remains commander-in-chief, but
Alexiefr will practically have COM
plete charge Of all army movements.
Responsibility for the Korniloff
revolt has been fixed upon advisors OF
the general. The Cossack movement
is still unsettled but is not regarded
90 serious.
"A series Of new generals and subS
ordinate officers have been appointed
by General Alexteff with the aim I'M
view of re-establshing discipline. The
old commanders are discredited and
it has been decided to appoint an en-
tirely new force"
AS to the military situation the ems
bassy issues the following:
Happily the Korniloff movement
did not weaken us. Our front has suf-
fered no reverses. Troops are advance
ing upon Riga. The morale Of the
army is splendid In the past five
days we have advanced more than sew
Ell miles on the Riga front"
Petrograd Needs Food.
LONDON, Sept. 17.-PetrogradHs
food situation is exceedingly grave,
according to dispatches featured by
the London Post. The newspaper
urged England to follow Americas en-
ample and send food there for Eng
lishmen.
Almost the first decision Of tho
Americans when they appreciated the
situation here, was to feed their own
nationals from home" the dispatch as
serted.
