PAINLEVE FAILS To
FORM new CABINET
May Make Another Attempt
to Secure Ministry for
France.

Paris, Sept. 12.-Paul Painleve,
minister of war has announced that
he has been unable to form a new
ministry to succeed that OF M Ribot,
on account of an eleventh hour with
drawal of the socialists, Albert
Thomas and M. Varenne.
M. Painleve went to the Elysee
Palace at 1 o'clock this morning.
where he was joined by NJ. Bourgeoise,
other statesmen with whom he had
conferred awaiting him at the minis
try Of war. He returned within an
hour and announced to newspaper
men that President Poincare had in
sisted that he continued his efforts to
form a cabinet and that he had asked
for time to think over the situation.
It is understood that Prof. Pain
leve will again try to construct a
ministry.
Prof. Pain1eve's first combination
proved even more abortive than did
that of M. Ribot, the stirring premier,
and collapsed from the same cause.
namely, the exigencies Of the social
lists. What these exigencies are is not
exactly known.

although to an ordinary person the

Going over the cornice at the ex-

most dangerous of the whole climb.
In view of the darkness this was
made all the more dangerous. At
the top floor the Human Fly drew

young man would be dashed to death

Should he have missed the cornice
nothing but death could have result

Owing to an error in arrangement
the Boy Scouts were unable to take
up the collection which for such an
exhibition as Williams gives was very
poor. This however, was not due to
the economical character of the
crowd but on account of not having
enough solicitors. Hundreds were un-
able to find a place to put their nick
els and dimes for the soldiers to-
bacco fund. The Human Fly will
climb the Porter building tonight at
6 p. M, rain or shine, and a much
larger collection is expected. The re-
ceipts for the tobacco fund last night
amounted to 1914.

possession of the Herald amounts to

k0RNILOFF CALLS
kERENSkY TRAITOR
Russian Government in Full AC-
cord With Germany, His Claim
SEES DISASTER AHEAD
Rebel Leader Calls ON People ito
Save Perishing Russia and to Pray
Expects No Personal Reward.

Fetrograd, Sept. 1.-The texts of
Gen. korniloff's proclamations are
puDhshed mere today. The first, dated
at Mohllev, denounces Premier Ker-
ensky's description of vladimir Lvoff's
mission as untrue and declares that
kornlloff did not send Lvoff to Ker-
ensky, but that Kerensky first sent
LVoff to him with the aim to create
trouble.
Russian men, continues the proc
lamation "our great fatherland is per-
1shing. The government under pres
sure of the Bolshevil1i majority of
the councils, is acting in full accord
with the plans of the German. staff.
Overwhelming consciousness Of the
impending ruin of the fatherland
compels me in this menacing moment
to summon all Russian men to save
perishing Russia. All in whose
breasts beat Russian hearts, all who
believe in God, let them flock to the
temple and pray God to perform:
great miracle, the miracle of saving
the fatherland.
II, Gen. Korniloff, son of a peasant
and cossack, declare to all that I re-
quire nothing personally, nothing ex-
cept the salvation of mighty Russia;
and I swear to lead the nation by the
road of revolutionary over the foe to
a constituent assembly through which
the nation will decide its own fate aud
choose the organization of its own
political life. But I shall never be-
tray Russia into the hands of it's ira
ditional foe, the German race, or
make the Russian people the slaves
Of Germany. I prefer to die on the
field Of honor and battle rather than to
witness the shame and infamy of Rus
sian land. 49,.
RUSSIAN people, in your own hands
rests the fate of your country.
(Signed) "KORNILOFF."
In the second proclamation, Gen.
Korniloff declares that he is support
ed by all Of the higher commanders
on the front, denounces the govern
ment for incapacity, weakness and in
decision, and declares that, in order
to veil its unfitness, the government is
creating the chimera of a non-existont'
counter-revolution.

HOPKINS & ALLEN TANGLE
Decision Expected Today Regarding
Disposal of Norwich Arms Plant
U. S. May Get 1t.

Hartford, Sept 12.-What to do
with the gun making plant of the Hop
kins & Allen Arms Co. in Norwich was
discussed at long conference between
lawyers and Judge Thomas in the
United States district court today.
The company is in a receivership and
the receivers want an order Of sale,
which will mean the purchase of the
plant by the Marlin-Rockwell Arms
Co. A committee Of the Hopkins &
Allen stockholders want time to raise
more money-a half million dollars or
more-to go on with the plant and
finish the contract for making rifles
for the Belgian government. The
United States government is inter-
ested in the plant as an admirable
place for the making of machine guns,
and certain creditors threaten to fore
close mortgages If the plant is not sold.
A decision today seems uncertain.

Bonar Law Declares Aid Of United

OUR MONEY DECIDING FACTOR
Corporation OF America Proves
righteousness of Cause, Chancellor
Foe Is Certain.

London, Sept. 12.-Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the exchequer.
speaking at a luncheon given by the
Empire Parliamentary association to
Medill Mccormick, congress- Large
for Illinois, said:
In everything connected with the
military arm the German has shown
remarkable resources, even genius
but in dealing with questions of diplo-
macy they have repeatedly made mis-
takes which have been the salvation of
the Entente allies. No mistake they
have made will be SO great in it's con-
sequences as that which drove the
United States into the war.
'The Germans lately" Mr. Bonar
Law continued, "have been saying that
the Entente was relying on the Uni
ted States as their last hope. want
to say to you that we do rely on the
United States. - -. ....... -..-...--... -...
I.'As chancellor of the exchequer I
should have been sorry to have had
to say six months ago, namely, that
without the United States financial
assistances the Allies would have
been in disastrous straits today.
Perhaps I may be excused from
speaking of the Russian situation ex-
cept to say how much we sympathizo
with Russia in her time of anguish
and that we hope she yet may be
able to render us assistance in the
great cause for which the American
people, like us are people of hard,
practical sense and realize that the
war now has become largely a ques-
ton of nerves, endurance and staying
power. Thank God, we of England
and America have those qualities and
shall see this thing through to VIC
tory.
I'VE have two special reasons" the
chancellor said, "for satisfaction at
the coming in of the United States.
First, 1t is the best possible proof
that our cause is just and righteous,
and second we know we now have on
our side resources which are more
than sufficient to achieve victory.
The United States possesses the
greatest wealth and resources of any
nation in the world. Moreover a
nation they have shown inventive
genius and adaptability which they
must inevitably apply successfully to
the prosecution of the war"

CARRANZA RECOGNIZED AT LAST

Washington, Sept. 12.-Last steps in
the formal recognition Of the Car

notification of the election of Carranza

technical one, conforming to the
usages of international relations, as
the recognition of the Carranza gov
ernment practically was complete
several months ago.
Officials took occasion today to r.
iterate that no loan to Mexico was con-
templated by the United States The
status of a loan still is under con-

Military Dictatorship Necessary.

one of the most prominent mining

just arrived here, in an interview in
the Daily Mail today says:
IT have faith is Russia. I have
known the country more than 20
years and she will pull through.
Whether Gen. Korniloff will prove the
savior of society I cannot tell, but
of this I am sure, a military dicta-
torship has got to come"
After paying a tribute to Gen. Kor-
niloff as ''at least a man OF action,
Mr.. Urqhart asserts there are i'm
mense risks and un-compensating
gains for the Germans in a further
V advance on Petrograd, even it the
time of the year and the character
Of the country permitted.
Russia, he said is tired of war just
like all the belligerents but is not
tired enough to make separate
peace. He added: IT can say with
absolute confidence that the whole
Russian people would be dead against
. = sparate peace and would make
short work of any one who attempted
TO negotiate it,
Mr.. Urqhart characterized Premier
Kerensky as IAN honest visionary. At
the bottom he is a talker, and little
else. Premier Kerensky is afraid Of
the council Of workmen's and soldiers
delegates which is a self-constituted
Organization of idealists, theorists,
anarchists and syndicalists with hard
ly any working men or soldiers among
them. Some Of them are known to
be in German pay. Their ideas Of
discipline not only have ruined the
army, but all Russian industrialists."
