ADMINISTRATION
 IS AWAITING NEWS
 0F RUSSIAN REVOLT
In Meantime, There Will Be No Change in Attitude of the American Gov
 ernment

Washington, November 9.-Russia's upheaval will not change the attitude of the American government toward measures under way for the relief of economic conditions in the demoralized country. This statement, applying par ,ticularly to contracts placed with money borrowed from the United States for vast quantities of shoes and cloth ing for the civilian population was the only authorized comment at the state department today upon the overthrow of the Kerensky government at Petro- grad.
 NO OFFICIAL NEWS
 Official advices from the Russian capi- tai still are lacking, no word having been received from Amba assador Fran cis since Tuesday. Apparently the British and French governments have not heard from their representatives, so it is assumed that the revolutionists
 in control of the Petrograd telegraphs and cables are holding up all dipo- matic dispatches, an action certain to draw protest.
 SITUATION DISCUSSED
 The situation was discussed at to- days cabinet meeting, but Secretary Lansing was unable to add anything to information appearing in the newspa- pers. A cable received during the day from Minister Morris at Stockholm, summarizing dispatches printed in the Swedish newspaper similar to those published here, showed that even the Scandinavian countries are getting no news of what is transpiring in Russia except through the controlled agencies at Petrograd.
 NO ANNOUNCEMENT
 Until the situation clears, the state department and war department will make no announcement as to the prob able effect of the change at Petrograd upon the relations of the United States with Russia and the conduct of the war against Germany It is apparent, how ever, that there is still lingering hope in the official mind that the revolution may be localized in Petrograd and that Kerensky may escape to rally around him the clements necessary to re-estab- fish his government at Moscow or some other point.
 STILL HOPEFUL Even failing in this, some of the ad- !m.nistration officials are confident that before very long out of the present chaos in Russia will emerge a sound and stable government.
 Secretary Baker voiced this opinion sI am a great believer" he said, lin the ability of the Russian people to re- thing to be learned by history it is that a great people like the Russians will be able to find themselves and to find that order and liberty so hand in hand. The Russians, being great people, whatever their present difficult ties, will eventually establish their gov ernment in proper and orderly way

 Experts say that about 25O,o0o tons of coal are used annually for the op- eration of display signs. This amount, it is estimated. would keep 1oO,0 ,00o families warm during the winter months.
 Although the fuel administration is anxious to avoid interference with legitimate business just as far as pos sible,' said the statement accompany. ing the order, 'it is determined that the industries essential to the war and the domestic consumers of the country shall be protected
 committee of gas and electric com- panies co-operated with the fuel ad- ministration in framing the order and gave full approval to its provisions.
 GARFIELD'S STATEMENT
 The fuel administration plans for cutting down the supplies of coal to nonessential industries were outlined by Fuel Administrator Garfield in this statement:

Fuel Administration Esti- mates Saving of 250,OO0 Tons Annually by the
 Order

Washington, November 9. The governments first move toward eliminating nones- sential industries to save coal was made tonight in an order by the fuel admins tration, limiting the use of fuel for electric display ad- vertising to the hours be- tween 7:45 and II o'clock D. m. A score of other indus tries will be effected by simi- lar orders that will be issued as soon as a complete classi- fication is made.
 Faced by, the realization that coal production cannot keep pace with the present rate of consumption, the fuel administration is ready, if necessary, to guarantee supplies only for do- mestic users and industries either nec- essary in conduct of the war or vital to the public.
 It is estimated that the limiting of electric advertising to three and 8 quarter hours each night will save 50 per cent of the fuel now used in main- taining the signs that light Broadway in New York city and hundreds of less famous thoroughfares in towns throughout the country. In a statement accompanying today's order the inti- nation is carried that it may become necessary to eliminate electric signs altogether

"The Millennium, or One Thousand
Years of Peace" Sunday Nights
Subject-HOuse Crowded.

Satan and his host of evil angels
will be detained upon the earth for
thousand years after the coming of
Christ" said Evangelist T. G. Bunch
speaking in the Isis theatre Sunday
night to a crowded house. His sub
ject was THE Millennium or One
Thousand Years of Peace" He said
in part:
when Jesus returns to this earth
in the clouds of Heaven there will be
a great earthquake, which will destroy
every city in the world Then for
thousand years the sun will not shine
on the world, neither will there be
vegetation, birds, or human inhabi-
tant." In support of this statement he
read jeremiah 4:23, 81 beheld the
earth, and 10, it was without form, and
void, and the heavens, and they had no
light l beheld the mountains and 10,
they trembled, and all the hills NOV
ed lightly. l beheld and 10, there was
no man and all the birds of heaven
had fled"
Continuing he said. 1.-THE doctrine of
a second chance for salvation is with
out foundation in the Bible. Revela-
tions 20 tells of a millennium, or
thousand years, bounded by two re-
surrections, the one of the righteous
at the beginning and the one of the
wicked at its close Between the two
resurrections, during the 1000 years
the righteous are in heaven and the
wicked are dead here upon earth. The
bottomless pit mentioned in Revela-
tons 20 is the earth in its chaotic con-
dition, the place where Satan, cast
out by the decree of God, and the
chain of circumstances, abides for
1000 years The righteous are all IN
heaven where with Jesus at their heac
they will judge. Before that tribunal
every one will be given complete JUS
tice.
