INTENSE CONCENTRATION
 OF AMERICAN INDUSTRY
War Materials Are to Be Given Pre-
 ference in Transportation.

Washington, Sept. 24.-More intense concentration of American industry on war work was foreshadowed tonight in an order issued by the priority com mittee of war industries board direct ing that in all cases preference in orders for iron and steel and their products be given to concerns turning out materials actually necessary for the wars conduct.
 Through its power to control trans portation, the priority committee will exercise a general supervision over the placing of contracts for the gov ernment, the allies and the public is suing certificates on which orders may be filled. Similar control over other industries may be assumed later.
 Twenty-Five thousand copies of the order were sent today to manufactur ing plants throughout the country, re- questing them to observe the commit tees regulations. In event they are not observed the committee will ex- ercjse its full authority and hold up railroad shipments wherever neces- Sary.
 Profound changes in the industrial fabric are foreseen by officials respon- sible for putting the order into ef- feet Manufacturers of articles class ed as luxuries will be the first to feel it's operation and as the governments requirements grow, non essential in dustries using iron and steel may be eliminated entirely. The order was signed by Robert S. Lovett, as chair man of the committee with the ap- prova1 of the secretaries of war and the navy.
Norwich bulletin., 1917-09-25

judicial inquiry is under way to de- termine how this demand came to be brought and to determine the origin of the measure.
 Troops Lacked Confidence.
 After the quelling of the revolt the government faced a very difficult sit uation, caused by the fact that the troops had a lack of confidence in their commanders and viewed many of them with suspicion. This led to many changes in command and de- manded a thorough reorganization of the army.
 The practice of the soldiers com mittees in judging on their own ac- count the connection of their com manders with the Korniloff revolution had to be stopped by the government, as the government prefers to deter mine the culpability of the officers for itself. The present situation seems to allow the government to enforce reg uJations made before the KCrnilof re- volt. Changes are being made in ad- ministrative and army positions which will be of greatest benefits"
 Death Penalty is Being EnforcedA
 An embassy official said the death penalty for offenses in the rear of the army is being enforced. In regard to the report that the BolsheVtki group in the Petrograd council of workmen and soldiers had put through a reso- lution against the government, 1t was saids that at the last council out of a membership of y500 only 400 repre- sentatives were present and that the Bolshevi<i group were able to control he meeting.

SENATE PASSES TRADING
 WITH THE ENEMY BILL
Only Six Dissenting Votes-Prompt
 Action Expected in House.

Washington, Sept. 24.-After brief debate the senate today adopted the conference report on the trading with the enemy bill, with only six negative votes- The house is expected to ac- cept the report tomorrow and send the measure to fhe president for his signature
 Discussion today centered upon an amendment added by the conferees prohibiting the publication or distr1bu- tion by any means of matter made non-mailable by the espionage act. The provision is designed to suppress en- tirely seditious publications barred from the mails, but still circulating by express or otherwise.
 Senators Norris and Cummins pro- tested vigorously against the action of the conferees, declaring it would per init the postmaster general to put out ! of business arbitrarily any newspaper or magazine without giving reasons. FSenators King, Ransdell, Fletcher and tVardaman upheld the provision, in sisting that publications violating the to circulate.
 The bill, which passed both houses with little opposition, forbids trading by Americans with enemies or allies or enemies, provides for q custodian of enemy funds, for regulation of for efsn insurance companies, for ucens- ttng foreign language nefspapers, for censorship of all foreign communica- lions and authorizes the president to Iemhargo imports.

Washington, Sept 24-An official explanation of the Kornilcff revolt, is sued here today by the Russian em- DaSSy, tends to confirm accounts pub l1shed in Petrograd, laying blame for the trouble upon Vladimir Lvoff the duma member who informed Premier kerensky that korniloff demanded that he be made dictator.
 Since the revolt was put down, ac- cording to the embassy, thorough reorganization has become necessary because the troops lacked confidence in their commanders, and changes are being made in administrative and army positions which will result in the greatest benefit.
 A statement issued by the embassy says:
 Plans of General korniIoff.
 "The plans advocated by General korniloff were under consideration by the provisional government on the morning of September and three re- naining measures were adopted, but had not been put into operation. These measures were: the enforcement of the death penalty in the rear of the army; the widening of the territory to be considered as the theatre of war so as to enforce military law: and the enforcement of martial law in Petro- grad.
 Demanded Dictatorship.
 "On the morning of September it was decided by the provisional agree ment to adopt these measures, but that evening Vladimir Lvoff came from General Korniloff with a flat demand that dictatorship be vested in him. A

LoNDoNERS EXPERIENCED
 >-.x ANOTHER AIR RAID
tGermans Dropped Bombs on the Resi- ]. dential Districts.

London, Sept 24-There being per feet weather Monday night for air ! operations, Londoners expected a visit from German aircraft and their ex- ipectations were fulfilled. Shortly af- tier 8 o'clock guns were heard firing in the suburbs and the metropolis had
 e repetition of the experience to which i 1t has become accustomed.
 Between and o'clock the noise of battle was heards throughout the city. SAnti-aircraft guns were being fired from numerous points and bombs ; could be heard dropping. Searchlights ! played over the city and the rocket like bursts of shrapnel furnished an
 interesting spectacle.
 The purpose of the Germans appar- ently was the indiscrininate slaugh- ter of the civilian population. As far as Investigations of The Associated Press up to o'clock this morning
 were able to discover, the casualties
 were few.
 The Germans did not attack any points of military importance, but dropped their bombs as usual on the residential districts. mostly upon the dwellings of the poorer classes
 If panic might be expected anywhere
 while the noise of battle was proceed
 ing it would be in the crowded thea tres, but the performances in the ma jority of the playhouses proceeded without a break. The second night of the grand opera in Drury Lane was on and the programme was carried through to the end. only a few people leaving the house. In one theatre, where an American play was being presented, the audience applauded the actors enthusiastically and the com pany responded by giving cheerful round of applause on the stage for the audience
 Many persons living in the neigh borhood of the underground railways took refuge in the stations. The work of the police. f1remen, civil constables and Red Cross, as well as the wom- ems auxiHaries. was prompt.
 The latest reports indicate that the Germans came in three squadrons. The first warning was given in the outlying districts at 7.20 o'clock and the police announced "al1 clear' about 10 20 o'clock

STEEL MAGNATE SATISFIED
 WITH PRICES AS FIXED
Ebert H. Gary, President of the Amer
 :can Iron and Steel Institute. l

New York. Sept. ,24.-Elbert H. Ga ry, as president of the American Iron and Steel Institute, issued the follow ing statement here today in regard to the prices -for~steel agreed upon be- tween the government and n1anufac- sturerss:
 ''The base prices for iron ore, pig iron and the leading steel productions in which the government Is especially interested, as fixed by the president while much lower than the prevail ing market prices and considerably be- low the expectations of the manufac- turers. on the whole taking everything into consideration. I believe are fair and reasonable and come within the conditions named by the president in his proclamation issued last June.
 "These prices were probably made in accordance with the recommenda- tion of the war industries board, who gave a patient hearing to the stee. representatives and made an exhaus- tive study of the whole subject
 While the manufacturers may feel sense of disappointment they never the1ess appreciate the courteous and frank treatment on the part of the board and they will cheerfully as- quiesce and do everything possible to maintain production to the maximum so long as the war continues, and they will not decrease the wages of their workmen under present conditions"
