London Paper Declares That
Premier Kerensky Has Failed

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Russian
crisis overshadows all else in the
news and editorials Of the morning
newspapers.
Germany may enjoy the satisfac-
ton of knowing" declares the Post,
that her sinister intrigues have pro-
duced a cataclys, in the revolution,
which in whatever its other results
may consist must, as we continue to
believe, ultimately destroy and eradi-
cate German predominance in Rus
sia. Germany may now perceive that
her advance in the Riga district which
affords the German emperor so eXces-
sive qualification, has fastened anoth-
er crisis in which, troubled as the pro-
spect is at present. we can discern
hope for Russia but more for Ger
many"
The Times, says the outlook is dark
and that it affects the. war on every
front for the allies begin to realize
that even in the most favorable cir
cumstances, the revival of the Russian
military efficiency is bound to be re-
mote"
The Times declares that General
Korniloff is not traitor and says
that if his ultimatum to the Petrograd
authorities on Saturday was tanta-
mount to dictatorship it was evidently
because he felt there was no alterna-
tive left. The Times adds: "Keren-
sky has failed to restore order and

Women Urged to Join
Anti Wilson Move

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 1.-THE Ber-
lin Lokal Anzeiger. which is acting as
the chief promoter of the demonstra-
ton of Indignation against President
Wilson's reply to Pope Benedict s
peace proposal. is now endeavoring to
mobolize the women of Germany in its
campaign.
The newspaper publishes an appeal
from a woman contributor to women
of Germany to take part in a protest
movement, saying that the voice of
women will attract far more attention
in the United States that protests by
males. which constitute an old story.
Millions of German women must
cast their curses and disgust in the
face of this indirect cause of the death
of thousands of German men, says
the writer.

Retiring Russians
Left Appeal in Riga
to German Brothers

PETROGRAD, Sept. 1.-THE COM
mission of the Twelfth Russian army
before leaving Riga left an appeal
printed In German and addressed to
the German soldiers pointing out that
the latter were making war on the
side of autocracy and against revolu-
ton of liberty and justice. The appeal
said:
"A victory Of Kaiser Wilhelm would
mean the end of democracy and liber-
ty. We are leaving Riga, but we know
the revolutionary spirit will prove
stronger than your cannon, we know
ing that in the end your conscience
will see more clearly and that you will
march on to victory and liberty side
by side with the revolutionary army.
Your strength is greater than ours.
but your superiority is merely of phys
ical and material force. Moral force is
on our side History will relate that
the German proletariat marched
against their Russian brothers forget
ting the dictates of international solid
arity.'

stability in the army because he long
had been in false position. His pro-
visional government has been at the
beack and call of the Soldiers and
Workmen's delegates, whose pernici-
Gus influence almost brought Russia
to ruin.
Committees will never save Russia
but in very short time they will
wreck the revolution if they are not de-
prived of the power to interfere"
viii Take Miracle.
The Daily News says:
Whatever is the outcome of the
present collision it can hardly fail to
leave chaos more chaotic and confus-
ion more, confounded. The miracle
that will rescue the unhappy country
from its fate, may yet happen but we
cannot see from whence it can come"
The Chronicle says it is obvious that
General Korniloff, would scarcely put
a pistol at the governments head on
Saturday unless he believed he could
fire it." and adds that "the immediate
future should show whether he can"
The Graphic thinks the prompt
taken by Premier Kerensky
will do much to avert disaster, adding
that 1T was through worse ordeal
that France had to pass, during and
after the revolution but she came forth
purified and strengthened and Russia
can do the same as it is land with
mighty possibilities.

MORE SUMMER
WEATHER IS
IN PROSPECT
Moore Says Temperature
Will Rise to 8O-Frost
Does Damage.

Corn, tomatoes and sweet potatoes
were damaged by Old Jack Frost, who
arrived on schedule Monday night for
his first trip Of the season. The tenn
perature dropped to 351s degrees, a
new record, for this time of the year
Most OF the damage done by the
frost was done to crops in the low
lands. most of the high places being
skipped in a rapid flight over the
county.
On the heels of Old Jack comes the
prediction by Weather Forecaster
Moore that the temperature, famed for
its eccentricities, has started a trip
toward the 80 degree mark with the
possibility that it will be reached by
the end of the week at the latest.
Coolest Of Season.
Tuesday morning was the coolest of
the season and moth balls could easily
be smelled for overcoats were resur-
rected once again. Palm beach suits
were rapidly disappearing but with
the possibility of the temperature
again rising chances are they will be
worn for few days yet at least

ERROR LEADS
DANIELS TO
ANNOUNCE
BIG BATTLE
Secretary of Navy Gives Out
Statement That American
Destroyers Had Sunk Six
Wasps. ...
REPORT SPREADS FAST

WASHINGTON, Sept. ia typo
graphical error in cablegram report
ing a submarine attack on convoy of
merchant ships off the coast of France
Sept. 5, led Secretary Daniels TO an
nounce today that six German subma-
rines probably had been sunk in the
battle when in reality the probabilities
are, only one was destroyed.
The mistake was not discovered un-
til several hours after the country had
been electrified by the report of
wholesale sinking of German U-boats.
This statement then was issued by
Secretary Daniels:
"My attention has just been called
TO serious error in transcribing the
report of the attack made on the
Westwego and other vessels. | gave
the report to the press this morning
exactly as it was presented to me
thinking that, two of the steamers at
tackled were sunk and probably all of
the submarines were lost The cable
gram | now find states that one OF
the submarines probably was lost"
The original dispatch follows:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Ameri-
can destroyers are believed to have
sunk six hostile submarines off the
coast of France, Sept. while convoy
ing a fleet of merchantmen from the
United States.
Two of the merchant ships were lost
but, it is reported, without loss of life.
Meager reports to the navy depart
ment today give brief account OF the
fight, transmitted from the American
tank steamer Westwego, one of the
ships which survived the attack.
Statement Is Issued.
The navy departments only informa-
tion was made public in the following
statement:
THE navy department has received
a report from Paris which states that
the steamer Westwego reports on Sep
tember s that while cruising with sew
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"

HEAVY LOSSES
CAUSED BY GAS

CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Sept. 1.-THE most notable
development on this part of the front
during the last few days is the lncreas-
ing use of gas shells by the enemy in
retaliation for the frequent projection
OF gas cylinders into the German lines.
The gas projectors have been one of
the big mechanical successes of the
campaign. Almost every prisoner, who
is brought in, tells of severe losses,
through the use of gas against the
troops in Lens.
Men captured two days ago state
that last week, company of the First
Guard Reserve, lost twenty dead when
a gas shell exploded near them before
they could get their masks on. Anoth-
er company of the same regiment had
seventeen casualties from gas in one
day, in which seven died before the re-
moval to the hospitals.
Rubber is Poor.
The failure of Germany to obtain
sufficient supplies of rubber probably
is contributing cause of the gas fatal
tiles. The rubber of the German masks
is poor and tears readily. Lately masks
of soft, flexible leather have been serv-
ed out to the enemy on this section or
the front. The leather is kept well
oiled, and is easily put on but not as
quickly as rubber.
The military medal has been con-
ferred on Sergeant Morris Jordan of a
Nova Scotia battalion, whose acts of
gallantry are thus recorded:
''On August 15, he attacked the crew
of a heavy trench mortar killing a
number of the crew, capturing the
trench mortar and twelve prisoners.
Later during strong counter-attack
when all his company officers had
been put out of action, he organized
a bombing party and so inspired the
men of his platoon with his courage
and determination that all the Ger
mans who had entered the trench
were killed. He himself bayonetted
several and it was owing to his cour-
age and fighting ability that the situa-
tion was saved"

Hundred and Fifty Examined
Those Who Have Gone
Write They Enjoy Army
Life.

Twenty nine men, Of the $50 exam
ined for the selective army, were pass
ed by the examining board and did not
file claim for exemption, according to
the list issued by the board Tuesday
morning. Practically all of the claims
for exemption were filed yesterday
morning as soon as the men were
examined and passed.
Although several of the claims for
exemption that were filed Tuesday will
probably be denied, it is estimated that
not more than so of the $50 examined
will be.certified for service.
Members of the board are receiving
letters from the men who went to
Camp Taylor with the first five per
cent, and all claim to be pleased with
army life,

MOST NOTABLE ANTI-WASP
ACTIVITY OF ENTIRE WAR

What seems to have been the most
notable action against submarines
since the beginning of the war is re-
ported by the navy department as
probably having resulted in the de-
struction of six submarines, which
made a massed attack on merchant
fleet cruising under convoy off the
coast of France on September 5.
American destroyers are believed
to have accomplished the wholesale
destruction of U-boats thus reported.
Two of the fleet of merchant men
were sunk but without loss of life it
is understood.

KORNlLOFF SAYS HE WOULD
SAVE NATION FROM GERMANS
fBy Associated Press)

Russia seems rapidly to be working
into state of civil war. The internal
situation which overshadows all the
current military news, appears to be
going from bad to worse with the op-
posing forces lining UP for an armed
conflict
In Petrograd the provisional govern
ment, with the socialists now consti-
tuting the dominant, if not the sole
element, still control the situation II
is threatened from without, however,
by the revolt of General Gorniloff, who
in proclamation, declared his action
is due to the desire to save Russia
from a government acting in the in
terests of the German general staff.
Already Far Advanced.
Korniloffs troops already are far
advanced in a march on Petrograd
He is said to have ordered them to
detrain at Dno, 90 miles from the cap
ital, whence they would march to be-
siege the city. Another detachment Is
reported only 36 miles from the cap
ital
Petrograd likewise Is IN danger of
being cut off from Moscow by action
of the Cossacks whose commander
threatens to cut the railway if the gov
eminent continues to hold out. The
government believes it has trump
card, however, in retaining the support
of the railway employees while the
Baltic fleet has pledged its loyalty and
some of the armies notably those in
southern Russia have been ordered by
their commanders to hold aloof from
the conflict to give the provisional gov
ernment their support No clashes be-
tween the two groups of forces have
SO far been reported. On the other
