COUNTER REVOLT
SPECTRE LOOMS
BEFORE RUSSIA

MOSCOW, Alg. 29.-The spectre OF
| a counter revolution has been invok-
ed to persuade the widely split ele-
ments to reconcile the differences OF
| the Russian conference. NJ Grekhoff
chief spokesman for the railroad en-
! ployes took the soldiers and work
mems council sternly to task because
they feared every step the cadet par
ty proposed was reactionary. He de
clared if a counter revolution came
the railroad employees would make It
a failure by tying up every railroad.
There is no doubt that a counter
revolution is growing, he declared.
IF the revolution leaders don't tax"
action we railroad men, by strikes,
will see that the movement ia Is
soldiers WOrkmcn Arraigncd.
Grekhoff's speech was severe ar
raignment of the workmen' 's-soldiers
delegates. He expressed the fear that
a shadow hung over the whole con
ference because the workmen s-sol-
diers' saw in every opposition to their
plans the shadow of returning reac-
tion. He blamed them for frOwning
upon the statement of former Foreign
Minister Miliukoff that the Duma
needs a democratic socialistic govern
ment. He declared the a0workmens
soldiers council saw the same fear
Of reaction in reference to the prose
cutiOn Of the war He called atten
tion to the fact that the delegates
were silent amid the pro-war app'ause
of others. He charged them with
mistrusting every Duma and military
speaker.
H Grousinoff representing the
Zemstvo organization, pleaded with
the delegates to support Korniloff
and save the country from invasion.
Transportation Disorganizcd.
NJ Proloff, representing the rail-
road engineers declared Russia's
transportation system is disorganized
Grouzemberg representing the Rus
sian Jews several UkTanian repre-
sentatiyes and the Mussulmans dele
gates pledged answering loyalty TO
the new government
It is strongly indicated Kerensky
and Korniloff would adjust their diff
ference, both ignoring the attempts
Of the workmen's, soldiers leaders to
dominate the army.
IT .s evident the workmen's soldiers
faction will be forced to yield on
many points, probably on capital pun
ishment which Korniloff demands as
necessary for the establishment of
discipline.
Prince Kropotkin, famous anar-
chist leader declared. q believe the
conference will prove successful in
averting a clash Of elements"

GO WEST, YOUNG MAN,
 AND COMMIT SUICIDE

San Diego, California, is the most suicidal city in the United States, s3.3 out of every 100000 Of it's popu- lation killing themselves every year. Holyoke, Mass, is the least inclined 10 self-desttuction, its rate being 5.1 per 100000.
 These figures are from the statistics Of Dr. Frederick. II. Hoffman Of the Prudential Life 1nsurance Company.
 The suicide rate for the Eastern States from 1910 to 1914 was 1s.5 per 100, 900 for New York, 1s per 100000; for San Francisco. s; for Sacramento 5I; for Boston, 1s. for Pittsburgh, 14.
 The Worlds Work suggests aome reason why the suicide rate increases progressively as one goes westward. California attracts many inyalids; many fortune seekers go West only 10 fail; the East and South are settled in their ways, the West is more ad- venturous.

FORMER VILLA. CHIEFKILLED
 BY GUARDS
Associated PreSs)

i JAUREZ, Aug. 13.-The Mexico
 Home Guards, an organization separ-
 ate from the government forces while
 protecting Casas Grandes, in the As. cention district, killed Jose Knez Sal tazar. revolutionary leader and forss merly Villas chief of staff The kill ling occurred near Ascention. l Jose Ynez Salazar has been one of ! the striking figures of the Mexican revolutionary activities since the be-
 ginning of the Madero revolution in
 1911. He was credited with starting l the revolution against Madero togeth. i CT with Emilio Campa, physician
 from St. Louis, Mo, who also had strong Socialist ideas he wanted to apply to the Mexican situation. In
 February, 1912, Salazar and Campa occupied Juarez under the red flag of the second revolution. This ban ner gave the new movement it's name of Red Flaggers."
 Pascual Orozco, Maderos former commander-in-chie joined Salazar and Campa and the campaign against the Madero troops followed. Salazar
 led his troops in the battle of Rollano
 when the federals were defeated, cap- tured Parral, and later made his cam
 paign through the Mormon settlements of Western Chihuahua during which many of the colonies were burned and the Mormon settlers driven to the bor- der.
 When General Huerta seized the control of affairs in Mexico City and declared himself dictator, Salazar and
 Orozco joined the Huerta army They fought at the battle of Ojnaga agaiast Villas forces in January 1914 and Sal agar escaped when the Huerta army fled across the border. He was cap- tured and taken to New Mexico to answer a charge of violating the Am
 erican neutrality laws. Eventually
 he was acquitted and again took the field east of Juarez, failed and surren- dered to the Carranza officials in Chi huahua City, was given amnesty but later arrested on a charge of foment- ing d revolutionary movement.
 When Villa attacked Chihuahua City
 on the eve Of September 16, 1916. one of the first acts was to throw open the penitentiary and iberate the pris-
 oners Salazar was among these pris-
 onerg and he joined Villas forces and
 was made chief of Villas staff. Prior | to this time he and Villa had been bitter enemies. Salazar participated 1 in the second attack on Chihuahua | City on November 2T.
 Later SalaZar with small force, appeared on the border southeast of
 Juarez, raided American families, kill
 led American owned cattle and raided
 ranches. Afterward he offered to sur
 render if given amnesty. With him
 was the remnant of his command, 70 ragged half-staryed Mexicans mounted
 on burros and COW ponies. Salazar
 expressed his desire to re-unite his
 family and live on his ranch in Mexi-
 co in peace.

FIELD REFRESHMENTS COMMENDS OUR SPIRIT
 AND PATRIOTISM

Editor ressiye-Miner,
 Ketchikan. Alaska.
 May I take this opportunity to express to the citizens of ketchi- kan my appreciation Of the splen- did spirit that has been shown during the past few days during the membership campaign that has so successfully been carried on for your Chapter Of the Ameri- can Red Cross. IL has, l believe, been not only prompted by nat ural desire to see your community take the leading place among the towns of Alaska in this great and humanitarian work, but by gen. uine spirit Of patriotism and love of country. Your leading men and women have voluntarily, and at a considerable sacrifice, devot- ed their time and talents to help make the campaign a success. Those who have not been able to leave their business have made up otherwise. The success Of your chapter in carrying on the work Of the coming months, is, l believe, assured.
 There is one point that might take the liberty of emphasizing, and that is that every man and woman should boost your organi- zation, both local and national, and assist in expressing criticism. Constructive criticism is always welcomed. Your questions will be gladly answered. Your diff culties will gladly receive atten- tion. But the man or woman who goes about complaining of the or gauization and it's officials with out putting his shoulder to the wheel to help solve the problem is guilty of serious disloyalty.
 Loyaltg 0 country at a time like this eans loyalty to it's rep regentat. j, and to those who are carrying on it's work. Unjust or i'll considered criticism Of those who are doing their utmost for it's welfare is to a very definite degree lending aid and comfort 10 the enemy.
 So. together with this exprss- sion Of appreciation, wish to urge the continued and loyal sup port Of all your citizens for the Ketchikan Chapter Of the Ameri- can Red Cross.
 Faithfully your,
 ROBERT II. SCOTT,
