WASHINGTON, April 1O.-President Wilson and his cabinet at todays meeting reviewed the many phases of war activities, found that every step possible to equip the army and navy and turn out munitions is under way and decided that the most pressing needs of the raticn are to increase the supply of food stuffs and ocean, going vessels. and tu raise sufficient money to finance AnerIca's lart in the war and make liberal loans to the entente allies.
 For present activities the allies are understood to be well supplied with munitions, and to have as many men in the field as they can equip and feed under present conditions. Through a coordination of the munitions industry in the United States, and the raising of q large army, the United States will be in . position later to supply any need in either fie!c
 Members of the Council of National Defense, who are also members of the cabinet, took to the president word that the most pressing need of Europe is for food and money.
 President Wilson personally appealed to farmers today through the National Agricultural society to make it their patriotic duty to increase the food sup ply of the nation and Secretary Lane brough forward a plan for greatly in- creasing the acreage under cultivation or public lands.

 Nearby vessels went to the assist ance of the liner and all her passengers were taken off. The damage, which was confined to the forepart of the vessel. was not serious and the New York was able to make her pier under her own steam. When the New York was moored a large gang of dock workers immediately began to discharge the cargo so as to enable the steamer to go into drydock as early as possible.
 The crew behaved splendidly. During the launching of the small boats some of the crew received minor injuries
 An American passenger told the As sociated Press that it was about 7:30 o'clock, while the passengers were at dinner that the accident occurred. Everything movable in the saloon was

army organizations to obey the provis-
acy. stating that General Korniloff will
be punished for treachery. and that Gen.
eral Klembovsky will be Professionally
succeeded to the chief command
Members of the Russian cabinet today
said the provisional government
regarded General Korniloffs pro-
nunciamento as an act of rebellion
which must be ruthiessly suppressed.
The government, it was added. believed
it had enough loyal troops and the sup
port of the Russian people to enable it
to put down the Korniloff movement.
Petrograd was formally declared in a
state of war today.
Premier Kerensky issued a proclama-
ton revealing a plot by General Korni-
army, to assume control of the govern
meDt.
Korniloff was Immediately dismissed.
General KIembovsky has been appointed
commander-in-chief.
Kerensky's proclamation was in part
as follows:
Former Premier Lvoff arrived
in Petrograd Saturday demanding IN
General Korniloff's name that 1 de-
liver all civil and military power to
the generalissimo, who would form
a new government at his pleasure.
The authenticity of this sum
mons was afterward confirmed by
Korniloff personal---very. telegram
from headquarters.
Considering this summons an at
tempt in certain quarters to profit
by our country's difficult situation
to establish conditions contrary to
the conquests of the revolution, the
provisional government recognized
the necessity Of charging me for the
fatherland's safety and the freedom
of the republican regime, to take
urgent indispensable measures and
to cut at the root of all attempts
against the supreme power and
rights OF our citizens, won by the
revolution.
I am, therefore, for the mainte-
nance of liberty and public order,
taking all measures, which will be
announced when the proper moment
arrives. -..
At the same time I order General
Korniloff to hand over all his func-
tions to General Klembovsky, COM

the northern front, which armies
now bar the enemy's way to Petro-
grad and 1 order General KLEIN
bovsky to assume Professionally the
functions of generalissimo. .-.-
Secondly. I declare a state of war
in the town and district Of Petro-
grad. 1 appeal to all citizens to re-
main calm and fulfill their duty
to the fatherland against foreign
enemy.

Situation Is Admittedly
GraNeSt Since Revolution

PETROGRAD, Sunday, Sept. S.-(De-
layed. ELEVEN cabinet ministers have
been in continuous session in the win
ter palace today, considering measures
to face General Korniloff's revolt.
which, in conversation with the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent, the minis
ters admit is the gravest event since
the revolution.
So far, except for the deposition Of
General Korniloff. which the general is
apparently determined to defy. no meas
ures have been decided upon, but the
discussion is proceeding on a plan to
constitute a directory of five men vest
ed with full power.
The names so far submitted for MEM
bership in this body are Premier Ke-
rensky, Vice Premier Nekrasoff. NJ. Sko-
belief, the minister of labor; M Ter
estchenko, the minister of foreign af-
fairs, and NJ. Savinkoff, the assistant
minister of war.
In a talk with the correspondent, For
eign Minister Terestchenko said: Q
THE plan for the directory is under
discussion and may be decided tonight.
So far the government is unable to
make any statement At IL o'clock we
expect the arrival of General Alexieff,
with whom we will confer. My per-
sonal opinion is that General Korniloff's
revolt is not dangerous and is partly
due to a misunderstanding which will
be cleared up"
Regarding the rumors of widespread
arrests in Petrograd today in connec-
ton with the revolt, the Associated
Press correspondent is authorized to
declare that no arrests have yet been
made by order of the government, al
though there may have been some by
the judicial authorities under the ordi-
nary process of law.
When NJ. Lvoff saw Premier Keren-
sky on Saturday and presented General
Kerniloffs demands, it developed today,
he told the premier that an organiza-
ton of duma members, Moscow indus
trial interests and other conservatives
who played the role of the opposition
at the recent Moscow conference, were
supporting General Kornilof

strange situation is brought about
by the two forces virtually equal in
numbers, strength and determination,
struggling for supremacy in circum-
scribed arc, where it is impossible for
either side to employ more men or ar
tillery. Gaps in the ranks are instant
IL filled and thus the contending forces
remain so balanced that victory appar-
emily is impossible to either side. The
fierceness of the struggle is proved by
the fact that in twelve hours the Itai-
ians attacked the enemy five times.
