kORNIL0fF AND, FOUR ADHERENYS
 BRANDED REBELS Provision Government Is- sues Decree Turning Them
 Over To Courts. KERENSKY LEADER
 CLAIMS STRENGTH Finance Minister Neckras0ff Declares That Governments Position Is Sat- isfactory-AlI Measures Taken
 To Defend Capital.

Petrograd, Sept. 12.-The provision turning over to the courts of justice as rebels General Korniloff, former commander-in-chie of the Russian armies; General Denikine, command ing the armies of the southwestern front; General Lolzomsky, chief of the general staff; General Markoff, the chief of the headquarters staff on the southwestern front, and M. Kisiakoff, assisting to the minister of roads and communications.
 Situation Improves.
 According to . statements made by members of the cabinet late last night and the news of this morning, the sit uation of the provisional government is continuing steadily to improve. Al though in view of what is regarded as the desperate position of General Korniloff and his associates in the revolt, with whom it is declared the government will tolearte no com promise, there still exists the danger of armed collision.
 The measures for the defense of the capital are complete. Foops on whom the government can rely continue to arrive while the small minority of Korniloff sympathizers in Petrograd appear thoroughly cowed. Similar conditions are reported at Moscow, where a notable effect was produced by proclamation in favor of the gov ernment by Mayor Rugnedd, whose address of welcome to General Korni- loff on his recent arrival for the con ference was at the time regarded as a demonstration of the Moscow indus trial leaders counter revolutionary sentiment.
 Finance Minister Nekrasoff, Premier Kerensky's mouthpiece for giving out news, declared today that the govern men1 position is satisfactory and that it was untrue that Korniloff's troops had been allowed to occupy Kosna; that dissension among Kornlloft's forces was general, while there was absolute solidarity among the gov ernment troops.
 Many additional assurances of loy- alty from generals and political or ganizations have been received by the government.
 ! Regarding the provisioning of the capital in case of it's investment, the minister of supplies declares there is no danger of shortage.
 The Bolsheviki element in consid- cred absolutely solid for the present government. It is organizing it's own forces against those of Korniloff.

MOTOR DESIGNED TO BEAT KAISER
 MEELS ALL TESTS
Secretary Baker Announces Greatest Achievement of
 Rance Skill.

Washington, Sept. 12.-The "Lib- erty motor," the airplane engine upon which the United States is relying to establish definite air supremacy over the Germans on the battlefields of .rFance has passed it's final tests and is complete and gratifying sue cess, Secretary Baker announced to- day.
 In a 1500-word announcement, Sec retary Baker told how all the best brain of American business and motordom had contributed its secrets and it's achievements to the govern men in the war to produce Liberty motOr," which is to carry the thou sands of American airmen over Ger many.
 "The United States aviation engine has passed it's final test," said Sec retary Bakers statement "They are successful and most gratifying. The new engine, designated by the signal service as the Liberty motor,' is now the main reliance of the United States and rapid progress in it's production is being made.
 "In power, speed, serviceability and minimum weight, the new engine in vites comparison with the best that the European war has produced. I regard the engine and the rapid devel- opment of this engine as one of the really big accomplishments of the United States since it's entry into the war.
 "The engine was brought about thru the cooperation of more than a score of engineers who pooled their skill and secrets, working with the encouragement of the aircraft pro duction board, war department and bureau of standards. The story of the production of the engine is re- markable one. Probably the war produced no greater achievement"

Local Boards Receive Or ders to Send No Negroes
 With First Draft Men.
MORE CERTIFIED
 FOR ARMY SERVICE
Exemption Board of Eastern District Announces That RehearingS Will Not Be Granted Expect In
 Unusual Cases.

Only white men are to be included in the 40 per cent of the city and county quotas of selective draft men ordered to report on September 19, according to instructions received by the Pine Bluff and Jefferson county boards yesterday. This may cause some change in the plans, as not enough white men are included in the number making up the 40 per cent of the quotas to supply 100 Der cent whites.
 The order will not effect any ma terial change insofar as the whole of
 the first quotas is concerned, as the negroes not taken in the 40 per cent
 will be included in the 60 per cent
 to be called in later, but considera ble
 shifting insofar as those who would
 be in the 40 per cent, as the lists
 stand, will ensue.
 The reason for the order to send
 only white men in the next contingent
 is believed to be due to the fact that facilities have not been provided at
 Camp Pike for properly quartering
 the negroes. It is the war depart
 ment's plan to have one regiment of negroes in the cantonment, and it has probably been ascertained that there would not be enough colored men in
 the 40 per cent to form an entire reg iment, and seemingly it was consid-
 cred best to defer calling colored men until it is is assured there will be
 enough to meet the governments re- quirements.
 No More Rellearings.
 The county board is preparing to call for examination 370 more men to fill the quota on the first call. The exemption board for the East
 ern district of Arkansas yesterday certified to the local boards addi- tional lists of men selected for ser" vice, and also sent the local boards 1 the following for publication, for the benefit of registrants:
 "To all whom it may concern: "The district exemption board for the Eastern district of Arkansas find
 that it will be impossible on all flu ture calls to grant rehearings except where it has overlooked some mater

ARGENTINE SENDS
 DEMAND TO KAISER
Wants To Know If Berlin DisapprOves of Dispatches In Which It's Minis. ter Called Argentine Off,
 ficial An "Ass."

BuenOs Aires, Sept. 12.-The down. town section of the city was the scene of the widest disorder tonight in con- demonstration in which thousands of Argentinians took part.
 Many of those in the mob carried fire brands and as result scores of buildings were set on fire, several blocks of German business houses in Calle g. de Mayo were destroyed.
 Among the structures attacked were the German club, one of the finest edifices in the city, and the buildings of the German daily, La Union. AS fast as the fires in these buildings were extinguished they were started again.
 Mounted patrons and the entire fire department kept rushing from one part of the city to another in an at tempt to quell the riot and put down the flames. In several instances po- lice who attempting to stop the riot, shot at those welding torches, were set upon by the crowd and disarmed.
 Extraordinary precautions have been taken to protect Count Luxburg, the General minister, when he arrives tomorrow morning to receive his pass- ports.
 The Argentine minister has been in- structed to inform the German for eign office that Count von Luxburg has been handed his passports to ask for explanations regarding, the tele- gram disclosures If the German gov- ernment disapproves of the text of the German minister's dispatches, and especially of the word "ass,'' which term the count applied to the Argef- tine foreign minister, the situation may clear. If Berlin does not disavow the minister's course, Argentine will recall the minister from Germany, but may permit the legation to remain.
 If Germany expresses a desire to maintain relations with Argentine, not withstanding the expulsion of Count von Luxburg, it was said at the for. eign office this government would be willing to consider the situation.
 The Argentine government has asked the German government for a. full explanation of it's resent policy of sinking Argentine ships. This ap- parently was settled in the case of the steamship Toro, but in view of Count von Luxburg's note, which an- tedated that settlement. Argentine de- sires clear statement.
 A rupture, the officials say, is not necessary if Germany is inclined to make concessions, but if she does not do so, it is certain there will be a break in diplomatic relations.
 The note sent by Foreign Minister Pueyrredon to Count von Luxburg in which the German minister was ten- dered his passport reads:
 "Mr. Minister:
 You having ceased to be persona erata to the Argentine government, that government has decided to de- liver to you your passports which transmit herewith by order of his excellency, The president of the na- tiOn.
 "The introducer of embassies has instructions to assist you in your im- mediate departure from the territory of the republic. God keep you.

 Extraordinary, and Minister pleni-
 potentiary of the German Empire"

EVENTS OF DAY IN

Associated Press Summary0


 While optimism seems to prevail in tho provisional governments in Russia that a successful issue of the counter revolution started by General Kornl- loff soon will be reached in favor Of Premier kerensky, the situation still remains most acute.
 All dispatches from Petrograd are ernantinc from the provisional gov ernmcnt of Kcrcnsky supporters. Re ports are to the effect that KOrnilOff's march on the capital has been check ed, and that even his retreat has been cut off by forces faithful to the provisional government Also that there have been further defections from his ranks and that a great ma iOritv of the commanders at the front are still adherng to the government.
 A statement issued by the vice premier said the country undoubtedly was with Kerensky. "Who is defend- ing the revolution, the defender of the reactions"
 Meanwhile the spirit of unrest seems 10 have invaded Moscow where martial law has been declared and government forces are maintaining order.
 One of the bright spots is the offer of tho central committee of the con- stitutional democratic party to aid in reorganization of the cabinet so as to avoid civil war.
 Argentine Expels German.
 Of great interest on the political side of the war, also is the action of the Argentine government In sending passports to the German minister for his connection with dispatches sent to Germany through the Swedish lega- ton. A disavowal of his action also has been demanded and Argentine will withdraw her minister from Berlin if acquiescence is not forthcoming.
 Meanwhile, the British minister, at Stockholm has visited the Swedish for eign office and expressed amazement over the charge against the Swedish government, and the fact that Sweden has not given Great Britain explana- ton of why coded German messages were permitted to pass thru the lega- ton
 Late reports from Buenos Aires said the German legation and German newspaper buildings have been attack cd by mobs.
 Military Activity SIackens.
 On the battle front the military ac- tivity is far below that of past weeks. On the line in France and Bel gium only artillery duels and small operations by the infantry are being carried out Some further advances have been made by the French in Champagne, near St. Shuplet, where General Petain won three lines of trenches.
 Monte San Gabrielle, in the Austro- Italian theatre has witnessed another vicious attack by the Austrians, in an attempt to dislodge the Italians, but their efforts were in vain.
 In the battle of Riga, according to Berlin, $500 Russians were made prisoners and 325 guns and much quantities of stores were captured. The fighting there has dwindled to skirmishes.
 Great Britain's losses in large mer- chant vessels by mines or submarines last week was the smallest since Ger many began her intensive submarine campaign. Only 12 large vessels were destroyed
