COUP
MAY NOT BE VAIN
Disciplinary Program For
Which Korniloff Contended
Goes Into Effect.
ALExEIFF IS STRONG MAN
Commands Confidence of Both
Factions; Becomes Chief
of Staff.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.-News OF
Premier Kerensky's determination to
instil better discipline into Russia s
armies created almost Az much rati-
fication here today as reports that
General Korniloffs revolt was failing
and civil war avcrted.
II Kerensky succeeds in his dis
ciplinary program. korniloffs at
tempted coup will have borne good
fruit. in the opinion OF officials and
diplomats. Such an accomplishment
would remove one OF the great weak
nesses of the new democracy.
Military VIII Rule.
Kerenskys plan is believed to be
TO restore discipline by making It
plain that military commanders shall
have full authority to dictate military
movements: by roofing out the per-
sistent Interference OF soldiers com
mittces with commanders orders and
by retaining the present system OF
government civil commissioners at the
front to advise men In the ranks and
provide a certain check on III treat
ment Of soldiers.
BY this arrangement the deatl,
penalty for violation OF orders might
'Vh'h'b' w bt ihipooeu ny Nohit-
martial subject to limited review by
the civil commissioners. The forces
opposed to the death penalty probably
could be satisfied by assurance that
the commissioners would prevent un-
just sentences.
Alcxciff Strong Man.
General Alexeiff, made chief OF staff
when Kerensky assumed nominal COM
mand of the armies and who probably

an advocate of strong authority for
directing officers and friend of the

Recent reports from the Russian
front indicated that the soldiers com

OF their referendum power oIer gen
eral orders, still persist In trlfling In
references which some times mean
delay and disaster.
The civil commissioners are emi'-
saries of the democratic movement
with the function of assuring the army
ranks that they are not being used as
tools of military leaders for purposes
other than defeat of Germany,

Not Hold Out Thru
Winter; Food Short

article from a high Austrian Of
fetal who recently travelled thru
several sections OF this country

struction OF the crops In tho
richest regions OF Hungary by tho
cold and the heavy rain. while
three hundred thousand tons of
Rumanian cereals could not be
transported owing to lack or
rolling stock. which first of all Is
utilized for military purposes

necessaries of life are mounting
10 extraordinary prices.

trary, experts point out that German operations in the north are merely serving to lengthen their battle lines, with consequent reduction in the number of men who can be assembled at any one point to meet an offensive.
 The news from Russia comes to us piecemeal and much of it is rather confusing, but evidently the situation is not quite as desperate as supposed until recently. Kerensky is still try ing to rally the forces of the provis- ional government. It is probable that his influence helped to arouse fight ing spirit in the Russian navy and caused the defeat of the Germans in the Gulf of Riga. The Russians met a much superior fleet. They made highly creditable showing, and it may be that all is not yet lost in the north.

Cotton Seed Flour Gains in Favor

1N HE public is familiar with some
 A of the by-products of cotton fertilizer, cake for cattle feed, lard for cooking purposes and oil for salad dressing-but cotton seed flour is just now coming to the front commercially.
 In Schulenburg, a small town in Texas, an oil company is manufac- turing flour of high grade, which is finding it's way to the trade, es- pecially in New York and other large cities. It has not been introduced yet to the Birmingham market, but those persons who have eaten bread made from the new flour predict that in the near future all the prominent grocers will be selling it.
 Cotton seed flour is made by the Baumgarten process and is known in Texas and elsewhere as Allison flour. It tastes well-is said to be more toothsome even than wheat flour, corn bread or graham bread. Its die tary value is proclaimed by chemists and persons who knows by experience to be revelation as health asset.
 It contains 64.53 per cent of pro- tein and fat-53.S6 per cent of protein and TIT per cent of fat. Patent wheat flour contains only 10.6S per cent of protein and 1855 per cent of fat; rye bread about the same. As good as cotton flour is for yeast bread and "beaten biscuit" it is said to be just as highly esteemed by housewives for it's fine quality of batter cakes, ginger cake and doughnuts.
 When it becomes widely known, cot ton seed flour will take its place among the south's great food re- sources and will add millions of dol lars to the wealth of the cotton belt.

 The ingenuity and enterprise wasted in criminal pursuits have often been remarked, with the moral that a tithe of the same ability and industry de- voted to honest endeavor would have made the offenders prosperous and re- spected members of society. Skill and science spent in means to defeat crim~ inal operations have been constantly met and matched by skill and science employed for nefarious purposes No opening is ignored by the crimina1.y inclined as Is witnessed by the prompt adoption of the latest fad to felonious ends.

PATRIOTIC PLAYS
From the Cleveland Plaln Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Of patriotic songs there are many, of patriotic addresses there are no end. Patriotic art is rapidly developing, as the impressive and appealing illustra- tions used in connection with liberty loan publicity daily testify. Now comes a demand for patriotic dramas.
 Many requests have been made for plays of q patriotic character. These requests come from schools. from so- cial settlement houses. from dramatic clubs and from other groups of anna teurs It Is pointed out that the plays nov available are-Jaclxing in vitality and present day interest. and the dramas are desired which will help to arouse still deeper interest in the serious problems that affect the nation. Thousands of schools where literary exercises are held from time to time, would greatly ap- preciate such additions to their pro- grammes. The Drama League of Amer lea has taken ur the subject and will offer substantial encouragement to American playwrights who can produce the desired dramas The latter must be virile and wholesome. vitalized by the spirit of patriotism and dealing con- structively with political. social eco- homie or other phase distinctively Amer ican. The leading dramatic authorities of the country will pass upon the mer- its of these productions. and it is be- leved the plays approved and recom- mended will prove a valuable addition to the dramatic literature of the na- ton.
 Patriotic music makes it's stirring ap- peal. patriotic art thrills the observer, patrlotic< oratory rouses the listener why should not the patriotic dramag ap- pealing at once to eye and ear and mind, be made of equal service?

Russians Claim Great
 Victory Over Germans

INFLATED information from Pet O rograd regarding naval opera tions in the Gulf of Riga has proved an agreeable surprise. Contrary to the belief that the Russian fleet was so badly demoralized and so inferior to the German flotilla that practi- cally no resistance would be offered, it appears that the Russians deliv- cred smashing blow, with the result that 16 Teuton warships were put out of action Six torpedo boats are claimed to have been sunk
 The sharp opposition encountered must have proved revelation to the Germans. It has certainly awakened new hope for Russia, which seemed lost to the allies, so far as active CO., operation in a military way was con cerned. If the Russian fleet is decis- ively beaten, it will be only short while before Petrograd is in the hands of the Germans, feat which will have great political effect in the fa- therland, regardless of the fact that it would not improve the strategic situation of Germany.

But when the trunk arrived in New York;, certain members of the Swedish consulate broke the seal, in order that they might open the trunk and place within it various documents Having done this. they used the consular seal for resealing At Hail. fax, when the British authorities were Investigating Won Bernstorffs baggage, they found this trunk and as it had only consular seal upon it. they opened it, notwithstanding the earnest protests that were made by Won Bernstorff or others. The British authorities then ad-

The British au- thorities said that there was conster- nation at Washington. when it was learned that this trunk had been opened and it's contents carefully examined.

EXPOSING GERMAN PERFIDY
nx Hox.LAND

Many were the revelations which this examination furnished. Not all of them, not even the greater part of them, have as yet been made public by the Secre- tary of State. He may deem It expe- dient to disclose certain other sensa- t.onal information which the examina- tion of this trunk has furnished On the occasion Of the celebration Of the opening of the new aqueduct, which has been 10 years under construction. and which brings water from the Cat skill mountains to the entire city, in Q daily amount sufficient for commit nifty of four times greater population one statement, briefly made. which re- flutes certain vague accusations that were in circulation when this most gi. gantic aqueduct ever constructes wae | the building.
 Mayor Mitchell stated that although the aqueduct cost s14O,Ooo,000. yet It hLs. been planned and constructed and wat' now open to public use without any cloud of dishonesty or suspicion of grakt-
 ing, or any scandal whatever being assoT cated with the work. That is D.ore than can be said of many great under takings, involving over $10o,O0o.000. Tnss absolute honesty associated with this work fttingly supplements the unparal- lelled engineering and scientific skill which was so successfully entailed in the construction of It.
 Mayor Mitchell spoke of Mayor Me Clellan as the executive of New York city who deserved recognition which would become traditional. for it was his initiative that made the work pos sible Mayor Mitchell might have added that Mayor McClellan's father, George B. Mcclellan, planned and perfected the superb sea wall or highway which fronts the Hudson river. So for these reasons, the name Of Mcclellan will be perma- nently associated with two of the great est public works undertaken for the benefit of New York city.
