Petrograd Sept. 15.-Korniloff mis-
judged Russia; therefore Russia is de-
manding that Korniloff die.
The provisional government today
faced spreading anger of the people
against the former generalissimo. 1t
was due less perhaps to his actual at
tempt at revolt than to events which
preceded it.
The formal government investigation
OF Korniloff S activities, now on, may
dissipate accommodating charges and
suspicious against himself make it pos
sible to inflict something less than the
death pentlay.
The public is demanding his death.
Isstesmia, a peoples organ, today ex-
pressed the popular suspicion that Ri
ca was surrendered to the Germans in
furtherance of Korniloff S schemes.
eff Korniloff succeeded in outwit-
Ting the soldiers committees, the
newspaper asserted, "his treachery has
not been punished Our country was
handed over to the enemy. Only the
soldiers committees saved Russia. Is
it not true that the reported panieky
retreats Of the Russian army was ex-
aggerated7 With the investigation un-
der way we can now discover whether
or not these panics we're organized by
Korniloff S own adjutants. +"
The newspaper referred to recent
remarkable communiques frankly
on the panic IN the Russian
retreat
Korniloff's fate had not yet been
officially decided today. He has not yet
formally surrendered. The cabinet was
in the throes of a reorganization, due
as much to differences on what punish
ment shouli be given the rebel leader
as to internal conflict
KoTniloff Deceived
But Pctrograd is demanding one Of
only two courses for Korniloff-suieide
OF surrender. The one means death Just
as certainly as the other in the view
OF the populaee. Korniloff himself de-
creed punishment for revolters in the
army. II was the main issue which he
projected into the Moscow convention.
He put it into effect at once. Probably

Washington, Sept. 15.-Pressed on
all sides for more and more revenue,
both houses of congress today were
struggling with bills involving billions.
Representative Fitzgerald S announce
ment that an additional $4,000, 900
would have to be added to the urgent
deficiency bill was followed today by
demands by Secretary McAdoo for
$S4,000,000 in the revenue bill now in
conference.
U'nder-the rules this added sum can
not be raised by increasing levies upon
profits or incomes, but must come by
res Grafton of some house provision
stricken out in the senate.
1t probably will be derived by tax
ing the following: club dues $1,000
600; amusements $60,000,000, instead
of $19,000,000 now carried in the bill:
chewing gum $1,000,000; jewelry 81
100000; automobiles and motorcycles

now carried in the measure.

now paving the way for a strenuous
assault on incomes and war profits
when the December session begins work
on money bills.
Conscription advocates already have
started their appeal for nation wide
support of their campaign. Senator BO-
rah will deliver the first of a series of
speeches on the subject at st Paul,
Mimi, Monday. His tour will take him
through several western states. Other
friends of the JohnsonBorah plan will
go out on speaking tours soon.
Secretary McAdoo s statement that
beyond all the billions congress is rails
ing there is still needed $3,oJ0 100000
more-to be left to the December ses-
sion-will be the theme for the con-
scriptionists in urging voters to steer
congress away from the policy of giant
bond issues and light draft upon
wealth.

Will Take No Action

Mexico City, Sept. 15.-Mexieo will
take no action in the Eckardt- Cronholm
holm affair unless the United States
makes further disclosures directly AT
fecting the Mexican government.
Such a policy was announced today
bv high officials. The government re-
CARDS the revelations as "not of Off
cial interest.
Former Swedish Charge Cronholm
was still in hiding today and German
Minister Won Eckhardt who yesterday
found the American revelations damn
uninteresting" barred all interviewyers'
El Pueblo, however, today printed an
interview with the German envoy in
which he flatly denied writing any let
ter recommending a decoration for
Cronholm. He said, according to ri
Pueblo, that he was merely 'aequaint-
ed with Cronholm, having met him at
official ceremonies and receptions,
and added that he chad never had
further relations with him.

tie Shipyards

Portland, Or, Sept. 15.-Work on 100
wooden ships in eleven Willamette and
Columbia river yards stopped at ten

But in one corner of the vast hall

New York, Sept. 15.-Germany' rep

The time is approaching when the
moral strength Of the allies will be put
to serious test. All Indications point
to the kaiser's determination to use the
pope's intercession for peace, as a
means to take the allies upon high
mountain and offer them dominatlon

the future liberalization of the German
nation for material gain.

from making constitutional monarchy
out Of Germany. Then he will have q
better chance of saving the house Of
Hohenzollern; for as long as the kaiser
and not the reichstag controls the army,
a revolution in Germany after the war
ends will be highly improbable, no mat

Now is the crucial time for the allies
to hold fast. A democracy must be es-
tablished in Germany before peace is
signed, or it may never be. The kaiser
may give up whatever the allies demand
territorially, yet without a democracy
to check him, either the kaiser or the
next Hohenzollern will inevitably try
a new war Of conquest under more fav-

of peace tempter should fool nobody.

New York, Feb. 16.-Stocks were strong
er in Wall Street today with .coppers IN
leadership. This was due partly to
technical recovery and partly to re-
newed hopes Of the German blockade
being broken.
The morning newspapers were full OF
cheerful news from a stock market point
of view, including the report that Ger
many had released the Yarrowdale men.
This report was not confirmed before
the market closed and for that reason
considerable restraint was seen in the
bull party.
Stocks held in high regard by invest
ment bankers were heavy again.
New Haven made its usual new low
record. st. Paul, preferred, sold down
to 119, a price it had not touched since
1896. All the rails were heavy, although
large net losses were not seen because
the strength of the coppers buoyed up
the whole list.
Sugar stocks were strong on account
of the political troubles in Cuba, and,
strange to relate, Cuba Inc sugar joined
the others. This was done on the theory
that it will participate in tn high price
OF sugar resulting from the Cuban dis
turbances.
