c,ass-an enthusiastic one of young
girls in the Junior year of high school,
who, under the leadership of their
consecrated teacher, Rave begun this
studystudy of all studies most worth
while.
The class is large and the musical
executive ability of its members will
prove a valuable asset in making the
! Circle a success. The meeting was
conducted in manner that would do
credit to many older societies.
Miss Zelma Long delighted her au-
dience with the calm, dignified way
in which she presided over the meet
ing, giving the occasion an air of true
importance.
The meeting opened with a song
by the class. The scripture lesson
was read by the leader from Acts II:
26-27. God "made all nations of one
bIood,' therefore race prejudice is a
sin in His sight.
The following Bible stories were
told and commented upon in pleas
ing manner:
"The Little Gospel" John 3:16...
Kof;o Coy

earnest prayer by Mrs. Hayes and a
duet we'll rendered by Jewell and Viola
Knight.

speaking directly to the girls in clos
ing of the brevity of life and the elu-
Isiveness of youth, urging them to make

Rev. Conley made an earnest plea
for fuller conservation of life and
service to the church, calling atten-
tion to the fact that at that hour
of the same day many years ago the
Savior of the world breahed His last
breath on the cross or Calvary, and
the memory of which aGded impress
Isiyeness to the meeting
Mr. Maddux, superintendent of the
Sunday school, in few well chosen
remarks, expressed his appreciation
of the excellent program and the in
terest which these girls are taking in
missions, urging that the society be-
come a permanent one, thus setting
an example for older people.
In return, Mrs. HAYES graciously

TWO U. s. TANKERS
 VICTIMS OF U-B0ATS
CORRECTED REPORT SAYS ONE SUBMARINE SANK AND NOT SIX
 AS ORIGINALLY REPORTED.

Washington.-A typographical error In a cablegram reporting a submarine attack on convoy of merchant ships off the coast of France on September 5 led Secretary Daniels to announce that six submarines probably had been sunk in the battle. when in reality the probabilities are only one was de stroyed.
 The mistake was not discovered un- til several hours after the country had been electrified by the report of a wholesale sinking of German U-boats.
 Secretary Daniels then issued the following statement:
 My attention has just been called to a serious error made in transcrib- , ing the report of the attack made on the Westwego and other vessels. gave the report to the press exactly as it was presented to me, stating that two of the steamers attacked were sunk and probably all of the submarines were lost The cable gram, I now find, stated that one of the submarines was probably lost"
 The true version it appears, is that the merchant ships, of which the Westwego was one, were attacked by submarines in force off the coast of France on September 5, and that in the fight of the merchant ships were lost and probably one of the subma- rines was sunk. The ships were con- yoyed, presumably, by American de stroyers or other warships.
 Some statement probably will be made later to show where the typo graphical error was made which led the Navy Department to announce the probable loss of six submarines.
 The uncorrected dispatch as given out was as follows:
 "The Navy Department has received a report from Paris which states that the steamer Westwego reports on Sep tember that while cruising with sev- eral other ships, was attacked by a massed force of six submarines off the coast of France on September 5. The result of this attack being that two of the steamers attacked were sunk and probably all of the submarines were lost"

 RAILROAD STRIKE INTENDS

etrograd-According to reports from the winter palace, where the government council was in session, a considerable force of supporters of Gen Korniloff already have passed Luga on the way to Petrograd
 The government refuses to make a statement, but Foreign Minister Ter eschtenko informs the Associated Press that he believes the Korniloff forces consists of only few hundred men. The town and railroad station at Luga are in Korniloff's hands. Gen. Korniloff has ordered hls troops to detrain at the railroad sta tion at Ono and to march on and be- siege the city of Petrograd Govern ment infantry still is moving out of the capital to oppose Korniloff's forces.
 Gen. Denikine, commander of the Russian armies on the southwestern front, has telegraphed to Premier Kerensky that he intends to support Gen. Korniloff
 In conversations with the Associat- ed Press. leaders of the Petrograd Council of Deputies declared that the provisional governments trump card was that the railroad employees were | entirely on it's side and that obduracy by Gen. Korniloff would result in a general strike, depriving Korniloff of all supplies and of all means of inn posing his will on the rest of Russia.
 On Gen. Korniloff giving an evasive answer Premier Kerensky categori- 1 cally ordered him to come to Petro- grad. To this Korniloff gave all em phatic refusal. He declared in gen. eral that he would not accept orders from the premier
 Premier Kenrensky then made to the cabinet prolonged report on the situation, repeating his proposal to form small directory. Here the pre- mier met his first opposition from the constitutional democratic ministers, who declared they were unable to ac- cept the dictatorship of the directory and would consent to remain in the cabinet only if all the material con- corning the revolt and all the plans for the liquidation thereof were sub mitted to the cabinet in full After heated debate the constitu- l tional democratic ministers announc- ed that they would resign.
 | Among the socialists at the Winter Palace the action of the constitutional democratic ministers was commented
 upon as natural, since a majority of their party emphatically supported | ference.

FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS NO MORE GERMAN MESSAGES
 WILL BE TRANSMITTED.
ASKS GERMANY TO EXPLAIN
Departure of Count Wrangel At Mo ment When His Government Was Embarrassed By Washington Dis
 closures Caused a Sensation.

1 Stockholm Sweden realizes the se- rfousness of the situation created by l the recent disclosures at Washington regarding the transmission of Ger man dispatches and expects to take all steps possible to put matters right, Foreign Minister Lindman told the Associated Press during an informal talk. All transmission of German dis patches had been stopped, he said, and Germany had been asked for an explanation of the abuse of the privi- lege formerly extended.
 In the course of his discussion of the affair with the correspondent Ad miral Lindman brought out the fol lowing points:
 First-That the Swedish govern ment was not. as alleged in certain quarters, taking the affair lightly, but on the contrary realizes fully the se- rious aspect of the situation and in- tended to do everything possible to settle the problem.
 Second-That transmission of dis patches on behalf of Germany had been stopped absolutely from the mo- ment when the disclosures were 1 brought to the foreign ministers at- ! tention and would under no circum- | stances be resumed.
 Third-That had the Swedish gov ernment had the slightest idea of the nature of the dispatches which the German government was transmitting the messages would never have been i transmitted.
 Fourth-That strong representa- tions had been addressed to the Ger man government on the abuse made of this practice, accompanied by re- quest for explanation to which, how ever, no reply had yet been received.
 Admiral Lindman, during the en- l tire conversation, seemed imbued with the desire to see the situation cleared up fully and completely on a ! basis satisfactory to the United States and Sweden and in a way to permit l the continuance of the most friendly, ] cordial relations with the American | government and people.
