tion of Russian Republic.

along a wide front Within the last
five days II has advanced more than
seven miles, the Russian embassy an
nounced today. The whole Russian
military establishment is being reor-
ganized under General Alexieff and
number of commanders are being
ousted
First official cables from Petrograd
to the embassy received today were
most encouraging. They showed that
the Korniloff rebellion had been put
down without -bloodshed. the morale of
the troops 'is splendid" and the gov
ernment stronger than ever"
Official word that responsibility for
the Korniloff DETECTION has been fixed
upon his advisers instead of himself is
regarded here as an indication that
the famous cossack chief will not pay
the death penalty for his crime.
EMBASSY STATEMENT.
The cables say the Russians are
forcing retention of more German
troops on the east front now than at
any time since the war began. The.
embassy issued the following state
ment:
Confirmation that the Kornlloff
movement has been liquidated was re-
ceived this morning. Thus far there
has been no bloodshed. The provision
al government is now stronger than
ever before.

charge of all army movements
Responsibility for the Korniioff re-
volt has been fixed upon advisers of
the general The cossack movement is
still unsettled, but is not regarded as
serious.
"A series of new generals and sub-
ordinate officers have been appointed
by General Alexieff with the aim in
view of establishing discipline. The
old commanders are discredited and 1t
has been decided to appoint an entirely
new force"
AS to the military situation the en-
bassy issued the following:
Happily the Korniloff movement
did not weaken us. Our front has suf-
fered no reverses. Troops are ad-

Representatives of Scandi-
navian Countries Plead at
Washington for Relaxa-
ton of Embargo.
Foreseeing Famine, Swedish
Newspapers A Advocate
Cleaning Up Foreign Of
fee Insist Steps Be Taken
to Prove Neutrality.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Scandinavian
representatives particularly the
Swedes-pIeaded today that the new
prohibition on wheat export will bring
their nations to the brink of starva-
ton The Swedes declared that their
nation will be the first to feel the
pinch Of famine.
Under new regulations of the export
council wheat, many chemicals and
forms of iron cannot be exported at all
except where used for war purposes,
or where needed commodities can be
obtained in exchange at once, or in a
few excepted cases where a small eH-
portation would not be detrimental TO
the United States.
The pinch of this new rule Is likely
to swing Sweden away from her pro-
German attitude more quickly than
anything else, authorities here believe.
GRAIN CROP LIGHT.
The Swedish population, according
to Axel Robert Nordvall, delegate to
the United States, now gets only seven
ounces of rye or wheat daily, the
smallest ration in Europe.
"Sweden's grain crop this year" he
said. will be only two-thirds normal.
We will need 100000 bushels for
bread, and it is impossible to cut our
rations further"
The Swedish newspapers, forseetng
famine, are now advocating a cleanup
the Swedish foreign office, which play
ed in with Germany as unneutral
messenger.

GERMANS TRIED TO
START REBELLION
IN PHILIPPINE
Vice Consul Andre Taken to
Manila to Escape Angry
Mob-Tried to Establish
Submarine Base.

Washington, Sept 17-That German
intrigue has stretched out it's talons
into the Philippine islands and sought
to create insurrection there, was
learned today by the United Press.
Conrad Andre, German vice consul
for Cebu, Hoilo and other islands, was
detaiped on a charge of trying to Gre
ate disturbance" which was in real
ity an insurrection. Taken to Manila
to escape an angry mob, Andre was
held there for some time and then re-
leased for want of positive evidence,
though he is still under careful govern
ment watch.
Andre surrounded himself with q
number of Filipinos and sought to
gain strength for the insurrection by
promising the Filipinos, among other
things, any white women in Cebu they
wanted If they would rise against the
Americans This was last April,
shortly after the United States entered
the war When this angle of the sit
uation became known the residents Of
Cebu were so incensed that there was
talk of lynching, and Andre had to be
hurried out of town to escape violence.
FOR SUBMARINE BASE.
In addition to the insurrection.
Andre was suspected of trying to es-
tablish a submarine base in an out
Of the-way corner OF the islands. Sub
sequently a ship bearing a complete
machine shop outfit was detained off
the islands.
At one time In the course of Andres
Vaccinations he travelled around the
islands on an American ship. bearing a
trunk full of papers which he did not
wish British naval vessels to know
about. The papers, however, were sec
reilly photographed en- route and the
pictures are said to be in the possession
of the American government
FIGHT FOR TRADE.
Again Andre was in an automobile
accident which threw him and a mys-
terious looking bag a srort distance
from the car. The bag was missing
when the debris had been collected, and
while Andre apparently suspected the
papers therein had fallen into no
friendly hands, he was in no position
to protest.
Andre, the youngest OF the consuls
in Cebu-the second city In the Philip
pine islands-had been particularly
active in building up German trade.
He was agent for the North German
Lloyd and for big German CONNER
ciaI concern which was trying to force
British capital out of the rich trade
with the islands.

of those last acts of love which are
longest remembered by those we leave
behind. No one can tell how much
the humility and service of Jesus af-
fected the disciples. Many times they
must have wished they had been more
loyal to Him. Very much real peni-

regret. If we would avoid regret we
should give our service unselfishly to
