Denounces Government.

In the second proclamatio Gen.
kornilof declares he is supported by
all of the higher commanders on the
front, denounces the government for
incapable government. weakness and
indecision, and declares that in order
to veil it's unf1tness the government is
creating the chimera of a non-eXistent
counter revolution.
The provisional government has,
under the martial law regulations. pro-
hibited the circulation of Gen. Korni-
lofts manifestos or the publication of
unofficial news concerning military
measures taken against the revolt.

House debate on the soldiers and
sailors insurance bill approached the
final tage today, with prospect of its
being disposed of by night The de-
lay in putting the bill through has been
due to efforts of opponents to amend
the measure. All their efforts so far,
however, have proved futile and the
democratic leaders believe the bill will
pass practically in the present form.

Reproaches Government.
A Bolsheviki speaker. NJ. Sokolnikoff
also declared his faction solid with the
government in suppressing the revolu-
tion. He reproached the governpent
however. for not sooner needing the
Darty's warnings and for not taking
measures against Gen. Korniloff long
ago. when it first had certain knowl-
edge of his conspiracy.
The leader of the labor party ap-
pealed to all the democracy to rally in
the life and death struggle around the
government, but emphatically opposed
the plan to create directory. as it was
considered dictatorial. Government by
directory. he said, would only feed
the counter-revolutionar flame. The
government must, instead, rely on in
dependent action by the masses of the
people. The labor party approved the
plan to create democratic assembly,
from which all reactionaries were eX-
cluded. the center of the assembly to
be the councils of the workmen's and
soldiers deputies.
Directory Plan Vetoed.
After further debate the committee
accepted unanimously the proposal of
the social revolutionaries to retain the
present form of government, replacing
the constitutional democrats with more
democratic elements. The plan to ere
ate directory was then vetoed by a
large majority.
NJ. Tcheidse. president of the council

thereupon went to the Winter Palace
and reported the resolutions to Premier
kerensky.
Action in Moscow.
The population of Moscow was ig-
norant of the revolt. but the council
of deputies there heard of it. Saturday
night and the next day declared itself
in permanent session. The council, in
accord with the local military and eX-
ecutive authorities. including the COM
mander of the troops. Gen. Verkhovsky,
whose loyalty to the Petrograd govern
ment seems beyond doubt. took special
measures against counter revolution
ary manifestations.
In this connection the council of
deputies declares that Gen. Verkhovsky
was recently summoned to head
quarters at Mohilev by Gen. Korniloff.

Tries to Prevent Civil War.

An abortive attempt to prevent civil
war was made by Prof. Paul N. Milu-
kof. leader of the constitutional dem
ocrats. former foreign minister and one
of the prime movers in the revolution.
He first offered by telephone his serv-
ices as intermediary with Gen. Kor-
niloff and later held a personal confer
ence with Premier Kerensky at which
Gen. Alexief. former commander-in-
chief Of the Russian armies, was pres
ent.
NJ. Milukon related that a few days
ago Korniloff invited him to come to
his headquarters, but that Milukoff re-
fused to do SO. Milukoff said he pro-
posed that he go to headquarters. with
authority from the government to ne
gotiate peace between the factions. NJ
Kerensky, however, declared that no
reconciliation was possible, and re-
ceived the backing of other members
of the government in his demand for
the unconditional surrender of Kor-
niloff.
Gen. Alexieff after the conference is
sued a statement to the press in which
he said he intended taking no official
position or any action in the present
situation. He added that he regarded

Lvoff Revolt Organizer.

1t is declared that korniloff's emissary.
Vladimir Lvoff, is one of the chief organ
izers of the revolt. 1t is added that
korniloff is under his influence and that,
in order TO make a breach inevitab BILE. he
exaggerated to Premier kerensky kor

Lvoff is a striking personality. He
spent twelve years as member of

and is the organizer of the Moscow
ecumenical congress. During his oc-
cupancy of the post of procurator of
the holy synod he cleansed the church
of Rasputin's adherents by a series of
autocratic measures.

FOOD PLEDGE CARDS -----.-- STILL COMING IN
Local Committee Expects to Announce Figures in Near Future.

l The signed food pledge cards are | still being returned to the committee l in charge of the local campaign and it 1 is expected that within a day or two more the committee will be able to announce the exact number of pledges secured in Norwich.
 The county campaign was very sue cessfu1 and final figures on the result l will be announced in the near future. Ledyard has made one of the best records of any town in the county, or turned a pledge, for every house in the 1 town exceeding their quota by 8 com fortable margin.
 The pledge card campaign ilas pass l ed the 140,o00 mark and the goal of loC.000 cards for the state is now in sight. Many delays are being encoun- i tered due to transportation difficulties and the inability of the clerical force to keep up with the incoming flood of cards. Some of the outlying com | II, unities have not been able to push t'ieir campaign through in eschedule time. In order to allow time Tor ffn- -sh the work in certain parts of the state the date for the final report has ganiZation which may be made perma- rent is anxious that all local workers finish their campaign before turning q final report in and $ urging that they do so in every case. Mem berShlp in the federal food or eaEization is taking on a new signifl- canoe as the campaign progresses. In stead Of being merely a. signer of a more or less inde finita pledge. the hou sewife who signifies her willingness to help Herbert Hoover. by putting her rerae to a pledge card becomes 8 working part of a national food arsny which has much to do. Before the war is ended the members of this army will have an opportunity to serve as
 truly as the men in the trenches and
 the national appreciation which will

 toward rewarding the .signers for the
 inconvenience and hard work which

 campaign carries with it no idea of
 com pulsion and the signer of card

 cI;mstances will permit.

CHILDREN SHOULD BE
 TRAINED TO PRODUCE
Superintendent E. J. Graham, Receives Letter From Bureau of Education

A, letter received from the Depart ment of the Interior Bureau of Edu- ca ticn, by School Superintendent Ed
 ward J. Graham. emphasizes the fact that the chEdrcn should be trained to increase tha agricultural production of the country as the need for the pro- ductiou of food wilt be greater than ever during the coming year. It is not too early to begin thinking about the school and home gardens for next spring. The letter received by Super i1itendent Graham is as follows:
 The response of many city school departments to the need for the pro- cuction and conservation of food in the United States has been prompt and efficient. Thirty-four city school su- perintendents have reported a total of eI1.3SS children engaged in the culti- ystion of home Negeta ble gardens.
 r During the coming year the need for the production of food will be greater than ever. and profiting by our ex- perience. we should train the children under our care to increase their pro 6uction and render a greater, service to our country. During the period of tlre war many individuals and agencies are giving voluntarily of both time and money in the campaign for the pro auction and conservation of food. With the return of normal times this vol untary taxation will be largely with drawn. School directed home garden ing has demonstrated it's economic and educational value. The work should be intensified and. incorporated as a part of the school program in' every city and town of the United States. Gardening under the direction of a well traiped teacher returns to. the community in money many times the cost. of the work. The half. of our population that lives in cities should, insofar as possible be taught te grow i;s own food, that in any future crisis taat may come to the United States the lack of knowledge and ability to produce food shall not be national weakness -~fs
