RUSSIA NAMED REPUBLIC;
CABINET OF FIVE RULES
Last of Leaders Participating in korn-
iIoff Revolt Have Submitted to
Premier Kerensky.

Petrograd, Sept 17.-Russia has
been proclaimed a republic. The provi-
sional government on Sunday issued
the proclamation, dated September IA.
The provisional government an
nounced that all the affairs of state
had been intrusted to five members Of
the cabinet.
Petrograd, Sept. 15.-General Kry-
moff, commander of the troops of Gen.
eral Korniloff sent to attack Petrograd,
the official news agency announces,
has succumbed to the wounds he In
flicted upon himself after an interview
with Premier Kerensky.
Petrograd has entirely recovered its
calm, a remarkable effect of the sup
preston of the revolt.
London, Sept. 18.-Dispatches from
Petrograd indicate that the last lead
ers participating in the Korniloff re-
bellion submitted to Premier Kerensky.
1t is announced that General Kale-
dimes, ataman Of the Don Cessacks,

Atbens the Seat of Learning.

1t may be said unhesitatingly that
the country which has produced the
greatest men in literature and philosO-
ply. art and architecture is Greece
In the little state of Attica-not much
larger than Greater New York-true
civilization and all that goes along
with it were born. All that has been
done since the "age of Pericles" has
been simply the carrying out of the
ideas, principles and methods laid
down by the men who won Marathon
and Salamis, Plataea and Mycale. Gal
ton, a high authority, does not hesitate
to say that Athens and the little state
Of which it was the capital produced
more first class intellects than have
since been produced by all the world
put together.

Rifles at West Point.

The average recruit who starts Ia at
West Point knows as much about the
fine points of rifle firing as long.

ters the elementary steps-the manual

Then he must learn a thousand facts
not mentioned In the drill regulations
Among the rifle kinks, for instance
is the smoking of the glass rifle sights

match-or, better. over an alcohol
fame-a light layer of lampblack Is
spread over the sight, which enables
the soldier to fire. even when he Is di-

work without danger to his eyes.
Another kink is the doubling up OF
The ordinary rifle strap in order to use
it to obtain sling grip. BY making
the sling short enough it is possible for
the left hand to obtain a viselike grip
on the rifle. This helps considerably
in steadying it.

Head Walters.

A head waiter must always be able
to tell at glance how much money you
are going to spend so that he will be
able to sheer at you accordingly.
When restaurant proprietor hires a
new head waiter he expects to be great
ly inundated. TO make favorable i'm
preston the head waiter must be able
to give the proprietor a look that will
make him feel pretty cheap. Before the
interview is over the proprietor is show
ing the head waiter his family portrait
album.
The head walters in the magazines
and movies could never hold real jobs
because they have been seen to smile
and bow Ii real head waiter ever
smiled at a customer he would break
out with rash, and if he ever bowed
it would cause internal injuries.
There may come a day when a head
walters bows and smiles may be had
at moderate prices. At present, how
ever, they are within the reach Of few

Harvesting the Mountain To
Conquer the Mountain

The mountains for years almost i'm
passable barriers to transportation have
been made to yield limitless store of
evergy to the service of man.
The tremendous forces of mountain,

of the Milwaukee Road across the
backbone of the continent-44 miles
through the Belt, Rocky, and Bitter
Root Mountains. An additional 221
miles is being electrified through the
Cascade Mountains, Washington.

Provost Marshal General CrOwder is
sued this appeal to governors:
"a large percentage of your pOpula-
ton is about to leave home for the I'M
certainties of a soldiers life. While
not an occasion of sorrow, it is q
day for sOlemnity. 1t is especially in
appropriate that it be married by drunk

therefore, I suggest you consider
closing of saloons during such hours
preceding enrichment on the next and
subsequent mobilization days."
Appeals to Governors.
General CrOwder delivered this final

Odd MARRIAGE Belief.

An unmarried man or woman Of
manageable age is something that is
rarely seen in the Fiji islands. The
reason of this is not far to seek. The
natives believe that if a person dies
while in an unmarried state his or
her soul is doomed to wander about
through endless ages Of eternity in an
intermediate region between heaven
and hades. At the end of each moon
they are allowed to look into heaven
