LOSS SOF j. S.
PATROL BOAT
UNCONFIRMED
Collision Off Atlantic Coast
Not Reported to Navy
Department.

The destruction of another patrol
boat in a collision off an Atlantic port
had not been reported to the Navy De-
partment at a late hour tonight. 1t
was explained that the TesseI probably
was a small converted yacht or launch
and that such reports would come in
the regular mail routine.
Unofficial reports of the sinking
served, however. TO bring out the fact
that such incidents, unless the patrol
ship happens to be a vessel of some
consequence or there is loss of life,
are not considered of sufficient i'm
HOrtance by the Navy Department to
warrant a statement. And in this con-
nection the story of the first loss of
an American naval vessel in the war
was recounted.
She was a stately converted launch,
all OF forty feet long. bearing the title
wv. c. T. L"
A Proud little.
She was purchased for harbor patrol
in the first rush after war was de-
clared, and a few weeks later, while
making her slip. went into the wharf
instead of the slip heai-on.
In about four minures she was rap
idly sinking beneath the surface Of
her native element-water. The crew
jumped for the wharf and didn't even
get wet.

COSMOS THEATER To

Will Turn Over Entire Receipts To-
morrow to Charity.

In order that the smaller theaters
OF Washington may be represented
in a benefit contribution to the fund
of the American Red Cross, the
management of the Cosmos theater
has arranged to present an unusual
program of attractions in addition
to those of its regular bill at a
matinee tomorrow. And to swell
the receipts as far as may be pos
sible for this patriotic purpose, it
has also been arranged to accept
the tickets purchased for tomor-
rows benefit at any of the matinees
on Tuesday. Wednesday. Thursday
and Friday of next week.
In these strenuous times in popu-
lar vaudeville. it is not so easy for
the performers to contribute their
bread-winning time to charity, and
the management of the theater,
therefore. has concluded to pay all
expenses that may be incurred in
connection with its Friday benefit
and to donate the gross receipts,
without deduction Of any kind, to
the Red Cross fund for the benefit
of the boys in khaki '"over there"

READY
TO COME BACK
SAYS OFFICIAL
Member of Duma Declares
the Cossacks Will Regain
Country for Entente.

Every advice which has reached
Washington encourages the belief that
the anti-Bolsheviki elements will con-
troll the coming constituent assembly.
that any separate peace with Ger
many will be repudiated and that the
es-Kornilofr- army of
Cossacks and shock battalions will
form the nucleus of a force which
may put Russia back on the entente
battle line by spring.
In some quarters here yesterday the
slackening of German artillery fire on
the west front while no infantry drive
followed on any position. was taken
to mean that Germany already reali-
Zed this condition and is depicting the
huge reserves she Is reported to have
assembled in the West in order to pro-
vide for contingencies in the East.
The slim basis upon which the Boil
sheviki element controls the Petro-
grad government was explained by
member of the Russian Duma here
yesterday.
The Kerensky provisional govern
ment was set up by the Duma and the
Council of Soldiers and Workmen's
delegates, the Soviet, after the Duma
had proclaimed the revolution 1t was
thus the legitimate successor OF the
monarchy. The Bolsheviki gained con-
troll through the Soviet alone. That
is an unofficial body and in that they
were outnumbered. Their control rest
ed principally on their control of the
delegation from Petrograd itself
The constituent assembly was care
fully provided for by the provisional
government before 1t fell. 1t laid out
the rules for the representation of all
Russia in this body and provided for
the elections and the cOnvening of the
assembly. 1t therefore, is considered
to be the legitimate successor to the
provisional government headed by
kerensky. Advices so far received
are that not only will the Bolsheviki
not control this assemblage but will
probably be ousted from control of
the government machinery by it.
American officials indicated yester-
day that there is little possibility OF
American troops being sent to Russia
to strengthen the morale of the kale-
nes-kOrniloff-A army. Diff
Culties of transport would make such
a movement impossible. The use of
Japanese troops is still a possibility,
however, provided the Russians agree
to their use.
