London.-Russia is facing new
crisis, as serious as any she has
weathered since the revolution.
Kerensky. Premier and War Minis.
ter, has resigned and has recalled his
resignation. He is making a last eff
fort to build up strong government,
Socialist and radical government.
And while political chaos prevails
in Petrograd and the armies OF the
new republic have yielded CZernowitE,
capital OF Bukowina, to the Teuton, an
archy is showing its head again in the
capital. The Military Governor has
been shot down and killed. Gurko,
whose name has been linked with Ruz-
sky's. has been arrested.
Kerensky and all the members OF
his Cabinent, with the exception OF
Vive-Premier Nekrasoff resigned, the
result of accusations against M. Tcher.
noff. the Minister OF Agriculture. and
a complete breakdown OF the negotia.
tions to bring the Constitutional
Democrats into the ministry.
Later, with the exception OF M
Tchernoff and NJ. Terestchenko, the
Foreign Minister. the Cabinet mem.
bers withdrew their designations, and
II was announced that a last attempt
would be made to reconstruct the min.
istry under Premier Kerensky, with
the chief new members chosen exclu-
sivly from the Socialist and Radical
parties, eliminating the cadets en-
tirely
M. Tchernoff. who is a Socialist, was
the first member OF the Cabinet to
resign. In letter to Premier Keren-
sky. he said he was leaving the min
istry to obtain freedom OF action to
defend his character against charges
that he had been connected with the
German Genera, staff IN accepting
his resignation, the government ex-
pressed the conviction that NJ. Tcher-
noff would succeed in rehabilitating
himself
NJ Tchernoff has been one of the
central figures in the present Cabinet
troubles in Russia One OF the con-
ditions raised by the Constitutional

Cabinet was desired was that NJ.
Tchernoff should resign, but Premier
Kerensky was reported to have re-
solved to sacrifice neither M Tcher.
uof nor NJ Terestchenko, the Foreign
Minister. who also Is opposed by the
Constitutional Democrats.
The documents. the discovery Of

London.-The great assault OF the
entente Allies, for which the big guns
nad been preparing for three weeks
IN bombardments of unprecedented
violence. has begun in Flanders along
front OF about twenty miles, from
!ne region of Dixmude to south of
Ypres around Warneton.
Starting with the first peep of day.

Jointly by French and British troops
the Frenchmen were holding the line
north OF Boesinghe and the British

end or the days fighting found that
all the Entente plans had faithfully
been carried out. The Frenchmen
were holding two lines of captured
German trenches. and Field Marshal
Haig's men three lines, in addition to
ten or more towns and villages and
more than $500 Germans made pris-
oners.
Notwithstanding the fact that tho
Teutons had massed almost countless
numbers OF guns and numerous di.
visions OF fresh men to hold hack
the toreseen onslaught, and when the
battle broke threw both men and guns
into the fray, the British and French
were not to be denied, carrying out
their operations with a dash born OF
splendid determination. Indeed at
some points so determined were the
attacking forces that frequently they
passed the objectives which had been
assigned for their capture and pressed
on and took terrain that had not been
figured on for attainment.
The casualties OF both the British
and French armies were relatively
slight, considering the intensity OF
the hghting on various sectors, while
the Germans. in addition to their men
made prisoner, suffered heavily in
killed or wounded.
Although the latest reports are to
the effect that the Germans ara

PASS PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
MUST BE RATIFIED BY SO STATES
IN SIX YEARS.
Yield to Presidents Demand That
Congress War COMMITTEES Be
Eliminated.

Washington.-The Senate voted for
nationwide prohibition. The Shep-
pard amendment to the constitution
was passed by vote of 60 to 20. This
was one more vote than the required
two-thirds majority. AS passed by
the Senate the States must act within
six years or the amendment is null
and void. The amendment now goes
to the House to determine whether
1T shall be submitted to the States.
In that body it will be referred to
either the judiciary or rules commit
tee, both OF which are said to be
prohibition in sentiment.
Another step forward in the prohibit
ton movement was taken when the
House and Senate conferees reached
an agreement on the food control
bill. The Senate conferees yielded to
the demand OF President Wilson for
elimination of the Congressional war
committee" over which the confer.
ence had been deadlocked. In addi
ton to the control and price fixing
features. the bill as it now goes to the
House and Senate for final approval,
prohibits distillation or importation
OF distilled spirits. authorizes the
President to determine whether beer
and wines shall be manufactured or
imported and permits him to seize
all spirits In stock or bond needed
for redistillation for government pur-
poses.
In forcing a one man food admins
tration and compelling elimination of
the war committee the President won
a signal victory.
The action OF the Senate on prohibi
tion-its first vote on such an amend
ment in its history-came as the
climax OF a persistent fight waged In
the Senate for years and which has
increased in intensity throughout the
present session.
The closing hours of the debate
we're featured by dramatic efforts OF
the "wets" to save part or all their
forces from disaster. Vicious attacks
were made on the constitutionality of
the time limit section OF the resolu
ton. The cry OF State rights was
heard In volume.
The Sheppard amendment applies
not only to distilled spirits but to beer
and wine. Attempts TO change this
were defeated

go to the Allies, but steel plates and

The Presidential ruling was quickly
construed by official Washington in it's
true meaning. l. e., the rapid upbuild-
ing or the American merchant ma
rine. The order, entitled additional
instructions to the Secretary OF Com
merce for the guidance of the division
of export licenses in future shipments
of steel and iron products and ex-
plosives," supersedes all previous
regulations.
BY preventing the importation of
steel for ship construction to all -coun-
tries, the United States holds the
reins of the seas The great steel
resources OF the country will be d.
vided between the general munitions
board OF the council OF national de-
tense and the United States shipping
board. What is left after these two
agencies have presented their de-
mands will be turned into rails for
Russia and France.
President Wilson has been carefully
maturing his, program to make the
United States mistress OF the seas.
He has been in conference with the
State and Commerce Department
heads for several days. and although
II Is stated the State Department
feared complications as the result OF
any general steel embargo, the Presi-
dent was led to make his ruling after
giving careful consideration to Amer
ica's position at the close OF the war.
First effects OF the proposed food
rationing plan OF neutrals in northern
Europe by the United States were
noted when Norway offered to guar
antee that supplies shipped to her
would not be forwarded to Germany
and in return for food offered a mill
ion tons of shipping for use in coast
wise trade. Holland also offered to
exchange ships for food. but desired
that any ships loaned to the United
States should not be used in the war
zone. Sweden placed sweeping re-
strictIons upon exports.
The United States. on the other
hand. made 1t plain that It is in
earnest in its determination that food
stuffs sent from this country shall
not, directly or by indirection. be
used to assist the enemy in carrying
on war.
Norway's case was put before this
Government by DR.. Fridtjof Nansen.
head OF the Norwegian Mission, who
declared his country facing starva-
