front have shown concern about the
imminence Of the American army's
entry into the fighting by offering re-
wards for the production Of the first

Of nearly two months, describes in
detail the destruction of an import
ant industrial town by the Germans
and its transformation by a German
commander into great mass Of for
tilted ruins. Batteries have been
planted in the cellars OF private
houses, factories and public build
inss. which have been partly demol-
ished to give better field for the
fire, while the streets and squares,
and even the city cemetery. have
been torn up and enmeshed with
wire to provide positions for groups
Of machine guns.
The diary describes how the troops
quartered in the city spent their
time when not on duty in firing ma
chine guns from the barricaded win
dows and the roofs Of buildings left
standing, and in searching for hid
den treasure and In digging among
the ruins for silverware.
The sergeant tells how his friends
found gold watches and priceless
paintings from the museums, stat
uary and other works of art which
they are boarding in their dugouts.
The cathedrals were sacked as we'll
as the other public buildings. The
Germans have removed the bulk of
the municipal valuables to Germany,
but many Of the inhabitants who
were evicted from their homes at a
few hours notice. when the city was
cleared before it's destruction had no
opportunity to remove their private
possessions and tried to hide them.

RUSSIA DECLARED REpuBhIC.
Small Cabinet of Five Chosen to Adj
minister Governments,

Petrograd, Sept. 16.-ARussia has
been proclaimed republic. The pro-
visional government issued the pro-
clamatioln Saturday night, dated
September H. The proclamation
follows:
Gen. Korniloff's rebellion has
been repelled. But great Is the con-
fusion caused thereby, and again
great Is the danger threatening the
fate Of the fatherland, and its free
DOM
Holding 1t necessary to put an
end to the external indeflniteness OF
the States organization, remember
ing the unanimous and rapturous ap-
proval Of the republican idea ex-
pressed at the Moscow State Confer
ence. the provisional government de-
clares that the constitutional organt-
zation according to which the Rus
sian State Is ruled, Is republican
organization and 1t hereby proclaims
| the Russian republic. Signed:
| minister and President, Kerensky,
| Minister Of Justice. Yaroudni."
(The title minister and presi-
dent affixed to Premier Kerensky's
signature to the proclamation prob
ably refers to his position as presl-
ident Of the ministry, rather than Of
the repuDllc.)
Premier Kerensky found 1t impos-
sible to obtain compromise on
coalition basis, admitting both right
and left ministers, and decided tenn
porarily to create cabinet of Ave
ministers. The portfolios OF the
| other departments will be allotted by
the cabinet Of five, but the occupants
will rank only as directors Of depart
ments. ti-
Statement by KerenslSy.
After the surrender Of Gen. Kor-
niloff and the completion Of the new
cabinet, Premier Kerensky was in
terviewed by the Associated Press.
Premier Kerensky said:
Announce that the Korniloff ad-
| venture now is completely at an end,
and there is no prospect whatever of
his adherents or Of other parties at
tempting to revive 1t. Virtually all
the chief movers in the revolt are in
our hands, and the matter may be
considered settled.
Our immediate problems are po-
,litical, and hope they will be. set7

Asked regarding the Hetman OF
| lhS oooooSNc, NSIl, NulSulucS, WIN,
with the forces on the Don, has not
yet surrendered and who Is reported
to be attempting revolt, the pre-
mier said:
"Kaledines is still at large and
making trouble, but hope this in
cident will soon come to an end. If
not, the provisional government has
the means and the will to end It.
Gen. Kaledines may have a con-
s. derable number of adherents
among Cossack officers, but he and
they in no way represent the rank
and file Of Cossacks, who are very
democratic and entirely devoted to
the revolution and the provisional
government. In proof Of this have
just had here a deputation from the
Cossack council, which expressed alb
solute devotion to us, and promised
support"

In Sad Plight.

In Sad Plight.
One member of the contingent to
have gone to service this morning
failed to appear in Walhalla in time
to answer roll call with his comrades.
He Is Lunie Henry Burrell, (Order
No. 295, Serial No. 93). He came
into Walhalla late, reporting at the
Court House at s o'clock, an hour
and half after time for reporting
, and 40 minutes after the train car
rying the boys had left.
These are war times, and the stren-
uous penalties for lack of obedience
to orders prevail. There was moth
Ing for the local board authorities to
do but to turn young Burrell over to
Sheriff Moss, in whose custody he
now Is held. The local board will
make diligent inquiry into the case,
and II it Is found that young Bur-
rell's failure to report on time was
unavoidable he will be sent on to
Camp Jackson within ten days, or
held under the boards jurisdiction
to be sent with the third contingent
Should 1t be found, however, that his
absence at the time of the departure
of the soldiers was wilful or due to
carelessness or neglect Of duty, he
Will be sent to the nearest military
camp prison to be dealt with under
military rules and regulations.

AMERICA O. MINE.

Hark! The bugle dear, is sounding,
And Old Glory takes the breeze;
must go to fight for freedom
In the lands far DER the seas.
You will bide til return, dear
From the battles of the free,
And remember was singing
AS my ship put out to sea:
Some may sing Of old Killarney
Or the hills along the Tyne,
But to me the dearest country
Is America O. Mine.
Some may sing the sun-kissed valleys
OF the Seine, grand Alpine,
But to me the farest country
Is America G. Mine.
We will take the Stars and Stripes, dear,
Through to vict'ry, clean and fair
Though some fall and must be wrapped dear
In it's folds and buried there.
Should | take the long, long Voyage
For the Port Eeernty
I'll remember you and sing, dear
AS my Ship put out to Sea-
Some die for love Of Erin,
Or the hills along the Tyne,
But the dearest land to die for
Is America O. Mine.
SO Some ne may c die for sun-kissed valleys
OF the Seine, or grand Alpine,
But I'm happy that I'm dying
For America O. Mine!
When there's peace, dear with the sunset.
And no gun at rising sun;
When the world is given freedom
From the terror Of the Hun;
When it's Mayng time in Dixie,
If Pm not among the slain,
I'll return to you and home dear
And come singing this refrain
Some may dwell in old Killarney,
Or the hills along the Tyne,
But the fairest land to live in
Is America O. Mine.
Some may dwell in sun-kissed valleys
OF the Seine, or grand Alpine,
But III live and die in Dixie,
America O. Mine!
