RETARY TO KERENsKY, TALKS.
Says Support Was Won by False
Promises and Control Cannot

Stockholm, Nov. %. = "No matter
how dark the situation in Russia Is
today-and it is dark indeed-it must
not be forgotten that Russia is coun-
try Of unlimited possibilities" said
DR.. Soskice, confidential secretary to
A. F.. Kerensky, the deposed Russian
premier, and his right hand man, to
the Associated Press correspondent.
The Bolsheviki were in control of
Petrograd and many other places
when left the capital on Friday"
continued DR.. Soskice, but they can
sot maintain power. I consider four
weeks the utmost length of time they
can lasts They have no support ex-
cept that which they have won by
false promises. They are today say
ing to their adherents: We have
given you peace and land, the decree
issued on Friday declaring all the fac
tories and workshops now the prop
erty Of the workmen."
The future government, Dr. Soskice
believes. will be homogeneous. all
socialistic government. ..
"OHt SoUCiuoc1 feaCe.
In regard to whether the future gov
ernment in Russia would be forced to
conclude peace, DR.. Soskice expressed
the opinion that this would not be the
case.
But" he continued, "the future
government will have some Of the
planks of its platform demand that
the Allies again state their war aims
and thus cut the ground from under
the feet Of the German militarists.
Before the present trouble began the
government had worked out a scheme
for forming volunteer army. The
next government will have the cordial
help Of Great Britain and America.
This army probably will not be capa-
BILE of great offensive action. but it
will suffice for defensive purposes"

Headquarters of the Italian Army in
Northern Italy, Nov. 23.-The fourth
Italian army under General Robilant
is meeting the full force of the tre-
mendous shock the enemy has Crncen-
trated between the Piave and Breta
rvers.
In authoritive quarters the CORE
'spondent was told that the enemy
forces delivering this blow are in the
proportion of three to two as COM
pared with the Italian forces, and is
virtually the relative strength on the
two wings west Of the Breta where
General Pecori commands the first
Italian army and the right wing along
the Piave, where the Duke Of Aosta
holds the enemy as I'm wise.
Line Broken at One Point.
In this position the fourth Italian
army is experiencing attacks in. rapid
succession. Reports early were salts
factory, as the main fighting ground
was farther north, on the enemy's
positions, though at one point the enc
my succeeded in breaking through the
Italian lines on the foothills of Monte
Fana Secca, compelling the reforma-
tion Of the defensive lines farther
back. .. .....
These fluctuations are marked by
the bloodiest fighting with the enemy
rerseves coming forward for three sue
cessive attacks which were met at the
point of the bayonet and driven back,
except for one push down the coveted
valley.
1t has seemed as If the Italians
were suddenly imbued with ten-fold
courage to save their country, and In.
dividuai cases of bravery; stand out
amid the general heroism. At one
point a contingent of 30 Italians left
a shelter and hewed their way through
the lines, bringing back q prisoners.
The whole range of this fighting
ground presented scene of frigid
desolation, showing the rigors of the
winter campaign now in full opera
ton. Snow lay six inches deep along
the slope and drifted in places to q
depth OF five feet.
Individual Bravery Frequent.
Just west of the main field of ac-
tion, the Italian first army rushed
the enemy positions near the Breta
river and ih two attacks and counter
attacks held the occupied ground
which was strewn with enemy corpses.

GIVE ASSURANCE TO WILSON
-Four Chiefs in Conference With Pres

to Be Interrupted Dur

Washington, Nov. %. = President
Wilson in a statement declared that
the railroad brotherhood representa-
tives had agreed at a two-hour confer
ence at the White House to stand
practically by the government and to
consider any proposed solution "in a
spirit of accommodation" and were
not inclined to contend for anything
which they did not consider necessary
for their welfare.
Shortly before the brotherhood
chiefs in statement announced that
any suspension of transportation
would be avoided, and declared their
willingness to discuss and consider
any suggested solutions of the diff
culties. .-~
Statement of Brotherhoods.
The statement Of the brotherhoods,
signed by the four chairmen,
Messrs. Stone, Lee, Carter and Gar
'retson, follows:
"The men who comprise the railway
brotherhoods are thorough. Americans,
therefore they believe in American
standards of living and in consequence
of this realize that standards of pay
that were established in 1912 and 1913
are Inadequate to meet present day
prices for commodities and for that
reason are demanding an increase in
present rates that will meet half at
least of the increase in cost of those
things which they are compelled to
purchase.
They want to cooperate in every
way possible in successful prosecution
of the war and they fully realize that
the most serious thing that could
occur during the conduct of the war
would be any interruption of railway
transportation and they in common
with the great body of the people are
determined to do everything within
the bounds of reason to avoid such in
terruption.
Being fully conversant with their
attitude and desire in this matter, we
arc in position to give the assurance
that If situation should arise which
threatens interruption of transporta-

which presented itself, doing so in the

the government TO the utmost extent
in arriving at a just, equitable, as we'll
as patriotic, conclusion"
President Makes Statement.
Later President Wilson issued this
statement:
In addition 10 the statement given
out by the heads of the railway broth

representatives of the press to say

TIMELY Y HINTS FOR
THE HOME GARDENER
0MHE2Nn NoH3A

Is not right, do this when you think
1t is the proper time; do not wait
for rain If you have a hose at
hand, but soak the drills, and in
half day they should be in a con-
dition to be thinned.
Let the lettuce. radishes and
onions grown from seed be thinned
out so as not to touch, when the
first thinning is done. unless you
are growing the lettuce for cutting,
in which case it is better to allow
1t to grow in a tight mass until ii
gets large enough that the plants
| thinned out can be used for salad.
But lettuce intended for making
head lettuce. when transplanted to
permanent positions, should not be
allowed to get crowded at any time,
as this gives better results.
Radishes can be allowed to grow
so closely that they almost touch, if
alternate ones are then thinned out
and used. To accomplish this, with
the first early ones, as soon as the
plants can be handled thin out to an
inch apart. By the time these touch
thin out every alternate one, which
will be all the thinning required.
The little onions can be best pick
ed out with an old table fork, as pull
ing them by hand when so very tiny
and the tuber remains in the soil.
The fork is merely used to slightly
loosen the tuber or bulb so that it
will come up easily.
Corn and beans, which may be
planted in hills, are sown sufficient
ly thick that there will be enough
to make a selection of the most Wig
orous, three to four plants to hill,
when they have attained their
fourth leaf.
If you are fond of beet-greens,
the young seedlings can be thinned
out to an inch apart, and when
these get crowded, thin out to four
inches apart and use those thinned
out for greens, tops and all. Another
thinning out of the beets should be
made, using those removed for
sauce, to allow expansion for those
to remain for large winter ones.
Turnips can be treated the same
way If you use turnip-tops for
greens. as many persons do.

Mantle of Green Will
Cover Stone Sheeting
Placed Along RIVER Front

With the work of riprapping the
river embankment practically finish
ed from Maclay street to PETER,
where a section was permanently i'm
proved last summer, the hundreds of
people who promenade along the
upper and lower walks every even
ing are now able to appreciate the
admirable character of this protec-
tive undertaking. A slight engineer
ing mistake at Maclay street result
ed in too much excavation of the
slope at that point. but it will be
easily remedied.
AS soon as the riprapping shall
have been covered with earth the
Department of Parks will imme-
diately proceed with the planting of
vines and shrubbery so that a man
tie of green will cover the stone
sheeting in few weeks.
