London said if gave great encouragement to those who des.re peace TSe dominant declarations of the president, that there will be no dismem5 5erment Of the central powers and no economical warfare after the war of bullets, tre of the utmost significance he insist ed. because these tvs steps have been considered part of the war plans of the allies.
 Reports that the reichstag is to draft the German peace terms. Mir. London declared to be a good sign.
 "A well defined expression in the reichstag for peace" he said, "is. an assurance that the desire for peace be- comes irresistible and the very fact that in Essen, where tlie Krupp fac tory is located, 5000 workers held meeting at which they adopted unani- mously resolution in favor of the reichstag resolution, shows that the government in Germany does not dare to prevent the people from discussing uQuestions."

FORTY RUSSIANS DETAINED
 AT KAREN, MANOHURiA
Because of Their Efforts to Incite
 Anarchy.

Harbin. Manchuria, Aug. e.-Forty Russian emigrants from America have been arrested and detained here be- cause of their seditious statements and efforts to incite anarchy.
 The detention of these agitators in- dicates determination on the part of the Petrograd government to check the inflow of undesirables, who are rushing back to Russia.
 O Since the overthrow of the emper- or, a constant stream of aSitators from the United States has been nov ing along the Trans Siberian railway towards Petrograd. Many of these were irresponsible persons, who have been bitter in their denunciation of America as well as in their criticism of the Russian provisional govern meqt.
 Many of the anarchists have ad- dressed soldiers, urging them to throw away their arms, ignore officials ard loot shops. The effect of such agita- ton has been baneful in cities like Harbin. Reports of holdups have been frequent.

The Russian government again Is facing a crisis. but apparently with his usual blood and iron" methods Premier Kerensky has taken rigorous steps to combat it and to punish se- verely those of the opposition elements who brought it about.
 On the northern Russian front the Russians are now offering strong op- position to the Germans who are en- deavoring to press their advantage farther eastward from the Riga-Dv1na line Thirty two miles northeast of Riga, near Segevold, "a death battal- ion" has even defeated the Germans and forced them to retreat to the south, while along the Burgetks line to the Petroffsk river the Russian rear guards are giving strong battle to the advanced Teuton contingentS
 In the Rumanian theatre also the Russians and Rumanians again have assumed the offensive, delivering re- peated attacks with large electives against Teuton allied positions in the Trotus and -Oituz valleys. The Berlin official report asserts that the. com = batants met in nd-to-hand encoun- ters and that the Russo lithuanian forces were repu1sed.

FROST HURTS CORN CROP
 IN SOUTHERN MINNESOTA
In Michigan and Wisconsin But Little
 Damage Was Done.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-Damage by frost in Minnesota, Michigan and Wis consin last night was not disastrous, except as it affected corn in southern Minnesota, it was said by experts here today.
 Southern Minnesota of recent years has increased her corn production, considerably. The crop was three weeks late and the frost three weeks early. and this caught the cereal full of moisture.
 Damage to garden truck, it was said. will not be enough to figure much in MT. Hoover's calculations. The po- tato crop, of which both states are heavy producers is too near maturity to suffer much.
 In Michigan the frost extended as far South as Grand Rapids It was predicted that the frost belt would reach central Illinois tonight but it was doubted whether it would be of killing severity south of the Great Lakes.
 The corn market was affected by the prediction of the blight for Illinois and Iowa. which are important corn states. May corn, which closed Satur- day ats111 3-4, advanced four cents net on the board of trade today.

SWEDEN WILL HAVE TO
 DEFINE HER POSITION
Allies Determined Germany Shall Not
 Get Supplies From NeutraIs.

Washington, Sept. 1o.-while the American government awaited de- velopments today following Secretary Lansing's disclosures regarding the transmission of official German des- patches by the Swedish charge at Beenos Aires, Washington officials and foreign diplomatists turned their att tention to a study of their possible significance.
 Two facts stood out clearly in the minds of most observers.
 Sweden will be compelled to make definite her position as neutral and the exposure may be taken as indi- eating more exacting the intention of the allies to see that Germany shall cease receiving aid from all the northern European neutral countries.
 Publication of the facts, although disclosing nothing the governments known for some time, reveals to the public that this government is fully cognizant of aid which Sweden has been rendering the central powers, and tends to cement opinion in SUD- port of the absolute embargo. put into effect against Sweden, along with the other neutrsfs, six weeks ago. It has already been declared definitely that no foodstuffs or other supplies will be permitted to go to the neutra1s for at least six weeks to give this govern ment an opportunity to establish pre- cisely their trade relations with Ger many.
 Sweden, as we'll as the other neu- tra1s, has contended 1t has this right to export to Germany any commodi- ties produced at home, even though the goods are replaced by commodities imported from the United States. Some American officials say the war would be ended within six months if Swedish iron exports to Germany were stopped. The Swedes. it is declared, have decreased their supply of food stufs by taking from the food pro- ducing industries vast numbers of men and placing them in the iron mines and the munitions factories which have sprung up since the war begun.

at the Austrian positions. with the enemy vigorously defending them selves. No claims to further progress on this sector are made by the Italian official communication, but it is an nounced that attempts by the Aus trians in counter attacks to lessen the intensity of the Italian offensive have been repulsed. To the south. on the Carso plateau, the artillery duel is still of great proportions.
 Northeast of Verdun the French troops have consolidated the posi- tions taken from the German crown prince in the Posses and Caurieres Woods in the fighting of Saturday night and Sunday. and the Germans, doubtless because of their enormous losses, have ceased for the time be- ing their violent counter cks.
 -On the British front the British likewise have consolidated trenches captured Sunday southeast of Hargi- court. They also are keeping up in various sectors their successful trench raiding operations and Stavirg off similar attacks made by the Germans.
 Daily the operations in the Mace donian theatre are growing in inn portance. To the north of Lake Malik French trops have forced the Germans to retreat toward Lake Ochrida.
