ABOUT SPENT ITS FORCE.
IS NEARING COLLAPSE.
ALL COSSACKS ARE LOYAL
Loyal Army Of More Than 10000
Headed BY Premier kerensky Is
Slowly Crushing Revolt of
Radicals.

London---The Bolsheviki revolution
in Petrograd is reported to be ap-
preaching collapse. Regiments loyal
to Premier Kerensky are marching on
the capital and fighting is under way
in the city, according to reports reach
ing here from Petrograd. An organ
ization which has adopted the name
of All Russian Committee for Saving
the Country and the Revolution an
nounced that the defeat of the Bolshe-
Wiki movement was a matter only of
days or hours
The town of Tsarkoe-Selo, Is miles
south Of Petrograd, where former EN-
peror Nicholas lived much of the time,
is said to have been captured by loyal
forces, after which the rebels retired
to Petrograd In disorderly mobs.
The chief wireless station now is
controlled by loyal troops.
The Red Guard has been defeated
in Moscow. Premier Kerensky is said
to be approaching Petrograd.
The following was received by wire
less from Dussia:
ITO All Army Organizations and Com
missaries:
''The revolt against the Bolsheviki
is increasing in Petrograd. Open at
tacks are being made against them and
fusillades are taking place in the
streets at many places. The telephone
is in the hands of the junkers. The
Dowmen was occupied by the general
army committee, which has removed
the Bolsheyiki guards.
''In Moscow the Red Guard was de-
feated.
Premier Kerensky is approaching
Petrograd. Communication with him
has been established. A delegation
from the committee for saving the
country and the revolution has been
sent to NJ. Kerensky.
Liquidation of the Bolshevih ad-
venture is only a matter Of days or
hours. For the more successful liquf-
dation of this adventure 1t is neces-
sary that all democratic forces unite
around the All Russian Committee for
Saving the Country and the Reyolu-

posal of Italians.

tonnage of about $4,000 thus far have
been placed by the American govern
ment at the disposal of Italy for the
transport of supplies. Before the
month is over another $4,000 tons. it
was said, will have been turned over
The Italians are chiefly in need of
coal, steel and grain, and the first
ships given them are carrying coal.
Later an arrangement probably will
be worked out by which Italy's coal
requirements will be furnished by
Great Britain. Under this plan some
5000 miles of transportation would be
saved.

The Children's Bureau of the U. S.

State Department of Health, the bu-
reau will carry out such study in a

This work, and all work for child
welfare is rendered more important
by the war. Reports from foreign
countries show that even in the coun-
tries hardest pressed by the war, the
work for the protection of babies and
their mothers has been greatly in
creased since the war began.
The studies. of rural child welfare
already made by the childrens bureau
point to the need in many rural com
munities in the United States public
health nurses are now supported by
public funds. Many of the nurses be-
gan their work in rural schools. They
also assist mothers in their own
homes. The work of these nurses is
one of the most important aids to ru-
raj child welfare.
The state board of health is begin
ming to do systematic and aggressive
work on child welfare activities in. the
state, and it is especially desirable
that the proper consideration and at
tention be given to children in rural
communities. This phase of work
among the rural population of the
state has been more neglected than in
the towns and cities, and it is the pur-
pose of the state board of health to
give speed CONSIDERATION to the ru-
raj population of the state in this re-
spect.

Fire Insurance Companies Leave.

fir0 insurance companies Leave.
A statement compiled by the state
insurance commissioner conveys the
rather surprising information that
there are only fifty fire insurance
companies authorized to do business
in Mississippi, and that a good por-
tion of the fire risks are being car
ried by reinsurance concerns.
Fourteen years ago, according to
this statement, there were 144 fire in
surance companies writing business
in Mississippi, which means that the
number has been reduced by "a since
the year 1908.
The compilation shows that there is
not Mississippi company, stock or
mutual, in the list. This, it is said, is
due to bad legislation and insufficient
protection.
According to general agents of the
companies now operating in the state,
the year drawing to close has not
been a profitable one in the fire in
surance business, large number of
very heavy losses having been sus-
taineG.

Contest as Announced

Manager c. II. Christensen Of the
Missoula Light and Water company
announced yesterday the schedule of
prices for water service during the
summer. Mr.. Christensen states that
this schedule does not relate in any
way to the offer made through the
columns OF the Sentinel recently to
furnish free water for use in the gar
den contest. That offer still holds
good and will be followed by action
upon application.
His statement follows:.

which has been effective in the past,
has long been considered not to be O
proper one. Under it some of our
sprinkling customers have piece Of
ground which is nearly all taken up
with buildings. walks. etc. have been
compelled to pay as much as Others
having an equal frontage but who have
nearly their entire lot under cultiva-
tton and In addition to this in many
instances parking strips. To correct
this a new rate for this class of service
has been promulgated under which
the charge is based on the area for
which water is actually used. This
rate has been filed with the Public
Service commission Of the state
Montana and that body has ordered il

and other ground space taken up for
other purposes for which water will
not be needed and the actual area
