CIVIL WAR MAY
 LEAD RUSSIA 70
 QUI1 FIGHTING Complete Ascandancy of Either Side Would Crush
 German Hopes. RESTORATION OF
 MONARCHY FEARED Spectacular Show of Strength by kor. niloff Probably Would Bring To
 His Side Preponderance
 of Authority.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Whether Russia faces anarchy and a reign of terror as the fruits of Korniloff's re- government depends largely in the opinion of diplomats here on the speed with which the situation de- velops.
 If the deposed chief, now reported marching on Petrograd wit, troops, makes spectacular show of strength in the next few days it is believed strong political inf,uen- ces now wavering may swing over and give him preponderance Of authority and pave the way for q powerful dictatorship. If Premier Kerensky is able to hold fast to his support of enough !of the various political groups on whose attitude the allegiance of the army depends, he may crush the revolt quickly. adopt some Of the strict rules advocated by his element and weld the democratic forces into stronger instrument to fight Germany.
 The complete ascendency of either would satisfy most persons here most interested in the Russian welfare. IL is the middle ground which they fear and which seems possible. Civil war then might lead to separate peace with Germany or restoration of the monarchy with it's train of evil con sequences.
 Opinion here is livideI as to wheth- CT the passage of the crisis will lead to a reunited and strengthened Rus sia.

ONE u-bOA1 SUNK IN BATTLE WITH
 MERCHANTMEN
Report That Six Were De- . stroyed Due To Typo
 graphical Error.

Washington, Sept. 11.--A typo graphical error in transcribing a statement to the press today from the navy department made it appear that six German submarines had been sunk off the French coast when they attacked a fleet of merchantmen, in- cluding one American vessel. The facts are that one submarine proba- bly was destroyed. A corrected statement was issued by Secretary Daniels as soon as the error was dis covered.
 The department has only mengre account of the fight and additional details have been asked for.
 The reports came from the Ameri- can tanker Westwego, thru Paris, the vessel having reached a French port after> the fight. Names of the ves- sells were not given. The WestWego was on route to Europe and the fact that she was with other vessels in- dicated that she was under convoy. The Paris statement said that six submarines had made a massed at tack, that two of the steamers were lost and one of the submarines was probably lost The 'Westwego was armed, but there was nothing to in- dicate whether the other ships were armed.
 In preparing for the press state ment of the contents of the dispatch it was written that "'all" of the six submarines probably had been lost. Later on, looking over the messa ge and statement it was found that the word was "one" in the dispatch.
 Officials were interested in partic- ulars of the fight since if the vessels were under convoy, and either of the two lost boats were American, the first conveyed American has fallen victim.
 The fact that the submarines at tackled in mass is taken to indicate that the German submarine superior commander thought he had to deal with troop ships or with army trans ports.

TEMPERANCE NOTES
(By the National -Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union.)
QUESTIONS FOR AMERICANS.

Here are few of long list OF per
tinent questions propounded by Sena-
tor Kenyon of Iowa during the debate
In the United States senate on the pro-
hbition amendment:
Why do we prohibit the boys in the
army and navy from having booze and
permit those who remain at home to
have it?
IF liquor is bad thing for the boys
In the trenches, why is 1t good thing
for those at homer
when they are willing to die for rs,
should we not be willing to go dry for
them?
when the food controller asks ev-
eryone in the country to conserve the
food supply, why must the food supply
going into beer be excepted7
IF more foodstun goes into beer
than into whisky. why do we prevent
foodstuf going into whisky and permit
1t going into beerf
Sixty per cent of the nation. terri
torially, is dry. Are not the feelings OF
the people living In that territory en-
titled to any consideration?
IF the beer drinkers are going to
rebel unless they get their beer, win
the temperance people rebel unless they
get prohibition7
why do not the temperance reople
claim that they viii rebel a1so7 The
temperance people win be for the ma
ton no matter If beer and whisky be
forced on them. Their patriotism does
not depend on having their own way.
IF some one were to take as much
foodstuff as goes into booze and dump
1t into the sea, what would the people
of the nation say?
"n someone should advance the ar
gument that this was necessary In or
der to appease certain people who be-
lieved In dumping foodstuffs into the
sea, and that If they did not do 1t 1t
would arouse riots, would we accede
to their requestT

Who Made the Kaiser

Some people were made to be soldiers,
But the Irish were made to be cops.
Sauerkraut was made for the Ger
mans,
And spaghetti was made for the
w0ps.
Fishes were made to drink water,
And buns were made to drink
booze;
Banks were made for the money,
And money was made for the Jews.
Everything was made for something,
Most everything but a rniser;
God made Wilson for our president,
But who in the hell made the
kaiser? Selected.

FlRsT aid no TIE EnEMr.

The Baltimore Sun, an anti-prohibi.
ton journal, recently called attention
to serious conditions in ship-buIlding
due to drink. Work In many of the
big shipyards is retarded, It says, be
cause employees are hanging about
saloons and soaking rum into their sys-
TENS, and, as a result, either staying
away from work for days at time OF
turning up unfit to handle their part
In the vast teamwork of modern In
dustry. They weaken the efficiency Of
the whole industrial machine"
Thus In America, as in England, the
drink traffic is furnishing first aid to
Germany. AT the behests of the liquor
interests our government Is playing
into the hands of the enemy.

GOVERNMENT FIXES
 1917 WHEAT PRICES
COVE EMINENT FIXES PRICE AT $2.2o PER euSAEL FOR
 1917 CROP.

Washington.-The price of No. northern spring wheat fixed at $220 a bushel at Chicago for the 1917 crop by the wheat fair price committee, headed by H. A. Garfield, whose find ings, reached after three days delib- eration, were submitted to and ap- proved by President Wilson The all nouncement was made from the White House.
 Labor representatives on the com mittee voted first for $1.S4 and the farmers for $2.5O After long discus sion the compromise at $2.20 was ap- proved unanimously.
 The announcement was made at the White House in a statement by the president:
 Section II of the food act provides. among other things, for the purchase and sale of wheat and flour by the government. and appropriates money for the purpose. The purchase of wheat and flour for our allies and to a considerable degree for neutral coun- tries also has been placed under the control of the food administration I have appointed committee to deter mine fair price to be paid in gov ernment purchases. The price now commanded by that committee, S220 per bushel at Chicago for the basic grade, will be rigidly adhered to by the food administration.
 ic tho bopo a1d of the food administration and my own also that this step will at once sta- bilize and keep within moderate bounds the price of wheat for all transactions through the present year, and, in consequence, the prices of four and bread also. The food act has given large powers for the con trol of storage and exchange opera tions, and these powers will be fully exercised. An inevitable consequence will be that financial dealings cannot follow their usual course.
 The report of the committee, ad- dressed to the president, follows
 "The undersigned committee has been asked by you to recommend the price which the government should pay for the 1917 crop of wheat
 Tn it's deliberations the committee has kept constantly in mind the three following factors:
 'First-The fact that the United States is at war.
 Second-The need of encouraging the producer.
 ''Third-The necessity of reducing the cost of living to the consumer.

Find a Use for Rats

The city authorities of Stockholm have begun campaign against rats by offering reward of 21a cents for every dead one. While it is hoped thus to reduce the rat plague considerably, the chief end is to get an important addition to the stocks of fats available for the making of soaps and lubri- cants. The rats are treated in a "corpse utilization establishment, ? where, after the fat has been boiled out, what remains is converted into a poultry food. South Sweden has for some time been utilizing cadavers of animals. Considerable fat is also obtained by skimming large contain CTS placed in the sewers leading from hotels, restaurants and other places where there is an unavoidable waste of fat

Efforts to stir up sentiment against the draft and to secure members for the Working Class Union," have been made recently ir. this county.
 It is said that leaders of the move, ment are woman named Mrs. Wyatt, and Herbert Hairless. Mrs. Wyatt spoke recently at the schoolhouse at Pangburn. Sentiment was so great against her that from 75 to so shots were fired into the building where she and her followers were gathered. The people ordered her not to try to hold any more meetings.
 On the day of Fairless' trial on a charge of gambling, she tried to hold another meeting at the schoolhouse, but the crowd was dispersed when Slseriff T. c. Plant and several depu- ties appeared. The case against her has been turned over to the United States authorities.
