RUSSIAN TURMOIL
PUTS ENTIRE BURDEN
or WAR ON ALLIES


Greater American war measures and deep
anxiety over all Russia's attitude toward
the Petrograd revolt were the principal
official developments here today from
Kerensky's deposition and flight.
Threatened with civil strife. with the
Allied war party opposing the MaXimalist
demand for an immediate democratic peace
Russia was officially regarded as through
with offensive fighting against Germany
for some time The increased burden thus
thrown upon the United states and the
other Allies spurred their war preparations
Official hope that the situation is not as
dark the MaXmalist reports from
Petrograd painted II is based on the alb.
senCe of demands for a separate peace and
kerenslSys strength outside of PetTOErad.
However If the Bolsheyld platform Is
taken up by the entire nation and the
army at the front, officials admit there
will be little hope Of Russas active as.
sistance against Germany until the SllVs'
Internal problems are settled definitely.
On kerensky's hestanCy I'm applying the
mailed fist to the extreme radicals is placed
the responsibility for the present chaos.
Ambassador Bakhmetieff was huTying
back to Washington today from Memphis
to keep in closest touch with the State De-
partment and cable advices from abroad
Apprehension among Entente diplomats
is that Russia may prove a source or
strength to Germany in case the Lenine.
Trotsky coup succeeds, Every hour they
control the Government means added timo
for Germany's secret agents to tighten their
hold upon Russia and sow seeds of discon-
tent.
The more optimistic officials predict that
the nation outside of PetroErad win soon
repudiate the Petrograd Soviet and restore
Kerensky to power. More bloodshed II
feared, however, before the Bolshevlki are
overthrown.
To chectmate the Lenine-Trotsky plans
the inter-Allied conference in Paris next
week is expected to formulate counter
measures. The democratic peace the Maxi
malsts-Bolshevki demand is another YER
sion Of mo annexation and no indemnities,"
and reflects the widespread belief among
the Russian Socialists that this is "A wa,
of conquest on both sides. Some statement
of war aims not peace terms may now
be expected from the Paris conference.
The Germans may take advantage or
Russias turmoil by further Withdrawals OF
troops from this front or by another drive
into Russia, If winter and strategic plans
make an offensive advisable At present
the Germans have on the Russian front
divisions made up mostly of older men ana
youths in training, according to military
experts here.

U. S. TO BE DOMINANT


WASHINGTON, Nov ..
The outstanding result OF the interallied
conference at Paris will be the perfection OF
nternational pooling Arrangements among
the Allies, all of which will Ultimately be
nominated by the United States.
An outline OF this plan has been made
py high officials Of the Washington Govern
ment and the special commissioners dis
patched by President Wilson to take part
IN the Paris conference have full instruc-
uons TO complete all arrangements.
The new plan--a democracy of nations
formed to combat the Central Power autoC-
racy--is designed to hasten the end Of the
war by concerting the military moves OF
All the Allies and later concerting their
peace moves The immediate effects OF the
adoption Of the plan will be the bringing
OF the direction of all the economic aspects
OF the war under one ruling body, and in
All probability that body will sit at Wash.

The first to be perfected will be a ship.

out In detail after consultations with repre-.

operations are concerned II will prevent
such shipping fiascos as caused Italys mu.

This pool and others contemplated can

Heretofore the BolsheviN have shown
strength only in the larger cities, like

CIVIL WAR CERTAIN
Civil war is certain In Russia, but whether
the war would be confined to Petrograd or
would rend the whole nation could not be

kerensky's views but with rough handed

CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrivel
up corns or calIuses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch ! 9!?!! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who Claims that n few drops
of a drug called frcezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn or hardened cal
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
Tie says freczone dries Immediately
and never inflamcs or ever irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
frcczonc will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order a small bottle for you.
