ORDERS RESIGNATION.

ORDERS RESIGNATION.
The premier has ordered General
Kornilof to resign as commandments
chief in consequence OF Korniloff's de-
mand for supreme power.
General Klembovsky has been ap-
pointed commander -in-chief.
Members of the cabinet today told
the Associated Press that the pro-
visional government regarded GEN.
eral Korniloff's pronunciamento as an
act Of rebellion which must be ruth
lessly suppressed.
The government, 1t was added, be-
lieved it had enough loyal troops and
the support of the Russian people to
enable it to put down the Korniloff
movement.
When M. Lvoff saw Premier Ker-
ensky Saturday and presented GEN.
cral Korniloff's demands, 1t developed
today, he told the premier that an
organization of Dunia members, Mos
COW industrial interests and other con-
servatives who played the role of the
opposition at the recent Moscow con-
ference, were supporting General Kor-
niloff.
These interests, said M. Lvo.l, were
not against Premier Kercnsky, who
was invited to general headquarters to
meet General Korniloff. The premier
refused the demands Of M. Lvoff, who
was then arrested, and, under exasni-
nation, gave the details of the con-
spiracy.
LoKoMSKY ALSO TRAITOR.
An official statement says that Gem
eral Lokomsky "also proved a
traitor" refusing to take command OF
the Russian armies in succession to
General Korniloff.
The soldiers and workmen's body,
the statement adds, has ordered all
the army organizations to obey the
provisional government against the
conspiracy, stating that General Kor-
niloff will be punished for treachery
and that General Klembovsky will
Professionally succeed to the chief
command.
Eleven cabinet ministers were in
continuous session in the winter PAL
ace all day Sunday considering meas
ures to face General Korniloff's re-
volt, which, in conversations with the
Associated Press correspondent, the
ministers admit Is the gravest event
since the revolution.
So far, except for the deposition Of
General Korniloff, which the general
Is apparently determined to defy, no
measures have been decided upon, but
the discussion is proceeding on a
plan to constitute directory of five
men vested with full power.
The names so far submitted for
membership in this body are Pre-
n1ier Kerensky, Vice Premier Mex
rasof, M. Skobeleff, the minister of
labor; M. Terestchenko, the minister
OF foreign affairs, and M. Savinloff,
the assistant minister of war.
REVOLT NOT DANGEROUS.
In talk with the correspondent
Foreign Minister Terestchenko said:
"The plan for the directory is un-
der discussion and may be decided to-
night. So far the government is un-
able to make any statement.
"At 12 o'clock we expect the ar
rival OF General Alexieff, with whom
we will confer. My personal opinion
is that General Korniloff's revolt is
not dangerous and is partly due to a
misunderstanding, which will be
cleared up"
Regarding the runors Of wide
spread arrests in Petrograd today in
connection with the revolt, the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent is author
lied to declare that no arrests have

ENEMIES OF CITY BEAUTIFUL
Among These Are Owners or Tenants
Who Fail to Utilize Space About
Houses for Flowers.

He who adds one line or tint Of
beauty to the city beautiful is its
friend, while he who through ig-
norance, avarice or neglect takes from
it one line or tint of beauty is it's en-
envy. The builder who goes into
residence section of detached houses,
with neat lawns and pretty flower
beds in front and at the sides and
there erects a block Of small, cheap
houses, standing flush with the build
ing line, with no room for grass plots
or flowers, cannot be regarded as a
friend by those who have good taste
and love the beautiful.
The owner or tenant of house with
space in front or at the sides for grass
plots and flower beds who neglects to
utilize this space to make it an adorn-
ment to the house and the street, is an
enemy, and so is he who owns a va
cant lot and allows nothing but weeds,
instead of keeping it green, neat and
wholesome.
How few there are who do not think
of the flower garden as an unfailing
source If pleasure to the eye and cheer
to the kseart and what precious memo
ries litSer around hours there spent,
in the r@appy days of childhood, the
romantic episodes of youth, the rest,
ing periods of middle age, or the d.
version%seeking times of elderly ma
turity! Yet there are many who do
not think of repaying a part of the
debt they owe for such pleasures by
contributing to the support of the
charm of flowers, through the cultiva-
ton of a few, at least, in their front
parkings, or their back yards in the
city.
A street with modest and inexpen-
sive houses, neatly kept, tastefully dec
| grated and painted, with pretty
parkings, beautifed by green lawns
and blooming flowers, is much more
pleasing to the eye and satisfying to
| the mind than rows of more ambitious
and expensive houses, built close to
| the sidewalks and with no strips of
| green or brightness of flowers to re-
ieve the monotony of walls of wood,
brick or stone and concrete walks and
| pavements.

"Tycoon of JAPAN"

President Lincoln in one of his pub
lie documents referred TO ''the Tycoon
of Japan" which was not the diplo-
matte and regular title of the emperor
of Japan. 1t was the name that had
been applied to him in the days before
we knew much about his country and
people, before Commodore Perry es-
them in 1854 and the arrival in this
country in 1860 of the first embassy
ever sent abroad by Japan. OF course,
President Lincoln did not mean to be
impolite to the ruler of Nippon and his
error was not repeated in subsequent
correspondence. But it caused humor-
Gus comment at the time.

House With the Spirit of Home.

Wealthy or poor, we are all tempted,
in varying degrees, to construct larg-
er homes than our personalities and
requisites demand. A person building
hardly do better than follow the ex.
cellent motto of the Greeks-''Not too
much" One of the first principles OF
house building is to construct some
thing which shall depend for its effect
not upon size and display, but upon
its adaptation to the requirements OF
those who are to live in it; something
the value of which no one shall be
able to measure in dollars and cents
something that is a persons own.

SchuessIer-McCOnn

A quiet wedding of unusual inter-
est occurred last night in Ocala when
Miss Jetty McConn became the bride
of Mr.. Stephen Under Schuessler.
The marriage took place in County
Judge Smiths office at 1890 p. M,
and was witnessed by only one or two
friends of this popular young couple.
Miss McConn's friends knew that
her engagement was rather an open
secret, nevertheless the news of her
marriage this morning came as
great surprise of her host of admir-
ers.
Miss McConn has been associated
with the Ocala Telephone company for
almost ten years and for sometime
past has been the very pleasant and
efficient chief operator. There is no
question that she will be sincerely
missed by the company's patrons, but
all of whom wish her every happiness
and long continued prosperity.
Mr.. Schuessler has lived in Ocala
for a number of years, during which
time he was connected with the
Ocala Gas Engine Works, but for the
past few months has been in the en-
ploy of a leading automobile repair
shop in jacksonville
Ocala regrets exceedingly that Mr..
and Mrs. Schuessler will henceforth
reside in Jacksonville, yet every good
wish is showered upon this attractive
young lady and excellent young man
for the happiest of welded life.
