PRESIDENT, WILSON HAD .s AN IDEAL HOLIDAY
Played Golf With His Son-in-Law
 and Motored to Salem.

Gloucester, Mass, Sept 1o.-Presi- dent Wilson, who Is takiT/; a brief cruise on the presidential yacht May flower, had an ideal holiday today. The weather was clear with a, warm sun and bracing breeze from the northwest when the president and Mrs. Wilson came ashore here in a launch and joined Colonel and Mrs. E.. M. House, whose summer home Is nearby at Magnolia. MT. Wilson brought his golf sticks to try out the coursse of the Essex County Country club at Manchester, and motored to the links.

 After golf the president and Mrs. Wilson had lunch at the House sum- mer home and there the president met newspaper correspondents for a few minutes. With Colonel House he consented to be photographed. Then, accompanied by his hosts and the usual guard of secret service service men he and Mrs. Wilson had a two hours automobile outing along the North Shore.
 The party attracted no more atten- tion than hundreds of other tourists, not even the policemen along the way recognizing the president until he got involved in traffic blocks, where the activity of the secret service escort drew the notice of the officers
 Going to Salem, the president visited the old Witch house and the House of Seven Gables. familiar through flaw thorne's novel. Later other points of picturesque and historic interest along the coast were visited.
 Throughout the day the president was allowed to take his outing un- hampered by crowds. The largest gathering to greet him was on his re- turn from the afternoon automobile ride when a few hundred fishermen and Summer, residents waited a the wharf. They gave him hearty cheer as he walked down the landi,,- and he responded with smiles and

 A second warrant charges the staff with using the mails for the same purpose.
 According to government officers under Special Agent Frank Garbarino. who conducted the raid, the Tageblatt on Saturday published statements in structing Germans in this country how to evade the postal laws and forward letters to Germany. In these state ments, government officers say, a man described as "H. Isselhurst, care of the German Aid Society. Stockholm, Sweden" was given as the official who would see that communications addressed to German destinations would arrive unsuspected by Ameri- can or allied censors.
 The newspaper and business files, correspondence and other matter seiz- ed in the raid were taken to the fed eral building for examination

BY PREMIER KERENSKY
korniIoff Had Demanded From thS Premier a Virtual Dietatorship-At Odds With Provisional Government Over Discipline in Army Cause of His Removal.

Washington, Sept. 1o:-The crisis precfpitated by the forced resignation of General Korniloff as commander-in- chief of Russian armies Is regarded here as possibly the most serious of many in that country's six months ex- istence as a democracy.
 korniIoff Demanded Dietatorship.
 The open fashion In which the de- posed commander demanded from Premier Kerensky a virtual dictator ship, and the adherence to his plans or Deputy Lvoff, with his following of the intellectual and military classes. indicate that the Korniloff forces feel sure they can succeed.
 Unless the differences can be com posed. 1t is feared Russia may. sink deeper into political Reorganization and fall prey either to German con querors or the threatened monarchiaI reaction.
 Discipline Chief Point at Issue. r. Without official .despatches explain ing in full the tangled situation, 1t Is understood here the chief point at is- along strict disciplinary lines, including the death penalty for soldiers violating orders, advocated consistently by Gen eral Korniloff. Although Premier Ke- rensky has declared hmiself for the Korniloff programme, the provisional government has exercised a check on the death sentence through government reviewing commissioners at the front.
 Apparently General Korniloff des- paired of improving the situation by carrying out his frequent threats to resign, and finally oceanic satisfied that his influence was sufficiently powerful enough to wrest the entire government from the provisional cabi- net.

Washington, Sept 1O.-with Major General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the army. reaching retirement age this month. speculation has begun at the war department as to whether he will be retained on active service un- der the wartime emergency provisions of the law and continue in office.

 General Scott has not resumed all of his duties as chief of staff since his return from Petrograd. General Bliss continues to exercise most of the functions of the office. possibly be- cause there are many aspects of the expansion of the army with which General Scott must familiarize him. self again because of his long ab- sence.
 It is known that General Scott would welcome an active command in the field. On account of his distinguish ed services on many occasions and the known high regard for him entertain ed by President Wilson and Secretary Baker, it appears probable that an effort will be made to gratify his wishes should it be determined to re- lieve him of his staff post.
 The pressure upon the chief of staff will become increasingly heavy as thci American forces abroad are enlarged and when they are holding a portion of the western front great physical vigor will be required to endure the strain.
