Reports From German Sources.

Confronted BY Crisis When Ar
gentine Orders Mobiliza-
ton of Army.
CLASH NOW EXPECTED
Excuse Of Act Against Germans
Scoffed at And Dispute
Over Boundary
Is Feared.

Santa Anna De Livramento, Brazil,
Nov. 10-Brazil is confronted with
new crisis in the midst of it's prepara-
ton for participation In the war
against Germany.
Persistent reports that Argentine is
mobilizing at Libres and Santo Tome,
near the southern Brazilian frontier
has led to open expectancy of a clash
between the two nations.
Officials scoff at Argentine's excuse
that the mobilization is precautionary
against a German uprising in Brazil
and fear a renewal of hostilities
over the old boundary dispute concern
ing the Missiones province. which was
settled some years ago by President
Cleveland
Brazil Anxious for Action.
The government is maintaining
strong forces throughout the affected
district and Brazilians are declared
to be anxious for action against the
Argentine troops.
The municipal authorities believe
that the settlement of the general
strike which has been in progress here
for some time is only temporary and
that the Germans are fomenting a new
walkout.
The strike just settled was the third
to come in quick succession, and, like
the other, it greatly interfered with
the shipment of foodstuffs and other
supplies to the Entente Allies Off
Gals believe these strikes are part OF
q revolutionary movement.
Active Propaganda.
Among other internal problems Bra
I'll is faced by a renewal of active
propaganda by the monarchists, espe
cially in the Rio Grande de Sui and
Porto Allegro districts and which also
| is active here.
Brazil has prohibited entrance into
the country of Uruguayan Germans. II
| Is reported here that a national de
cree has been issued, suspending the
constitutional rights of Germans. The
decree is expected to cause a new out
burst in the German provinces.

LONGER WAR SEEN BY LONDON
Situation Considered Gloomy as Re
suit of Russian News.


> London, Nov. 10.-Kerensky's fall
at Petrograd means indefinite prolon-
CATION of the war. according to belief
of the London press.
1t means, also, in the belief OF
editorial writer's, that henceforth a
heavier burden Is saddled on the
United States and the Allies.
The seemingly inevitable civil war
was held to mean further disorgani-
zation, permitting withdrawal of more
German troops from the Russian
front-if not worse,
A majority of the London press
made no concealment of its pessimism
regarding Lenine and Trotsky, the two
figures now in control at Petrograd
Both are regarded as entirely pro-
German in sympathy.
Hope was expressed that their
movement was superficial and con
fined to Petrograd alone, but the sit
uation was regarded as gloomy.

Food Conservation Campaign Attains
Results.
Minneapolis, Nov. 10.-Julius Barnes
of Duluth, president OF the Food Ad-
ministration Grain corporation,
through which the country's wheat
supply is being marketed. declared
in Minneapolis that the food conser-
walton campaign already has achieved
big results in the saving OF wheat.
Mr.. Barnes is comforting with local
grain men.
"As near as we can check -four con-
sumption" said Mr.. Barnes, 1T looks
like a decrease Of about 20 per cent.
In New York the saving ID apparently
almost 80 per cent. The -four produc-
ton of the mills is about u per cent
heavier than . year ago. taking the
country over. Our policy, which is
to encourage -four milling and to
export -four rather than wheat, prom
ises to increase -four exports to 30,-

To Give History To Determine
Their Eligibility For
Military Service.
CHANGES IN SYSTEM
Married Men Placed In Non-BeIliuer-
ent Glass Until Need for
Their Services Become
Greater.

Washington, Nov. 10.-In order that
their availability for military service
may be determined, 1900, 900 men will
be called upon within the next week
to give their personal history.
Secretary of War Baker announces
that the new regulations for classify
Ing the registered men not drawn in
the first call have been completed and
will be promulgated within a day or
two. The revised regulations as they
will be made public are radically diff
ferent in several respects from the
tentative list of five classes made pub
lie by Provost Marshal General Crowd
er in his first announcement of the
reorganization of the draft system
about a month ago.
Married Men Exempted.
The principal change, it was indicat-
ed is the practical determination Of
the government to place all mar &c
men in the non-belligerent class.
Only men whose physical resources
or whose family resources would guar
antee their dependents living during
their absence will be liable for service
in the field. In the overwhelming
majority Of cases, however, married
men will be entirely exempt from mil
litary service unless the war should
take a turn which would necessitate
the mobilization of every able bodied
man in the nation-a circumstance not
considered by The authorities in the
present light of the war situation, SER
ious as ii is.

REVOLT WILL NOT LAST
Russ Ambassador To u. S. Pre-
diets Its Overthrow.
Actions In Petrograd Cannot be Con-
sdered Representative of
Country, He Asserts.

Washington, Nov. 10.--In a long
distance telephone conversation from
Memphis, Tenn, Ambassador Bakhme-
tieff, talking to the Russian embassy
here, stated that If Bolshevikis have
rsvolted in Petrograd, any control
they may have achieved, is purely
local.
The actions or declarations of the
Petrograd workmen's and soldiers
council cannot be considered as repre-
sentative of the other councils scat
tered throughout Russia, the ambas-
sador stated.
The embassy, still insisting it was
without direct official information
from the Kerensky government, de-
clared that while perhaps a few regi-
ments of cossacks, Influenced by the
Bolsheviki, may have revolted, their
detection is not sufficient cause for
general apprehension.
Hope For Best.
1--WE can only hope and trust that
Russia will pass through this hour of
peril safely" he said over the tele-
phone.
"The inert spirit of Russia is not
represented in Petrograd," said the
Russian ambassador.
"The true Russian spirit does not
lise in Petrograd. Let the people or
the United States understand this.
The extremists have always disobeyed
in that. city. They are not the true
heart of my country and therefore I
can only predict that out OF this re-
ported revolution will COME Russia
as she is hoped to be.
II am not speaking from an official
point of view because / have no Of
fetal notification relating to the rev.
olution. But personally / will tell
the people of America that they can
rely on Russia until the end for we
