recently from Denver where he pur-
chased 10000 head of western sheep.
He sold 1000 of them to various
Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri
buyers and brought the remaining
thousand to Centralia to place on his
farm, says the Courier, north of that
town. Starr says sheep are hard
to buy in the west this year as they
are not only seemingly scarce but
valued too highly for feeder to
buy, and make money.

Governor, and all Delawareans inter-
ested in the preservation of the fish
and game in this State, should launch
a movement having for it's purpose
the securing of sufficient revenue for
this purpose. Perhaps, if this move
ment is started in time, the men who
are elected to the General Assembly
will be sufficiently educated to the
crying need of more revenue for game
protection by the time the 1919 Leg
islature convenes. 1t is a crying
shame that the Legislators of the
1917 session were so short sighted
that they failed to provide sufficient
funds to permit the State Board of
Game and Fish Commissioners to carry
on its good work. The State could
not possibly invest money in more
beneficial manner than by spending
it to preserve its natural and game
supply.

Charles CLARK, the inventor, travels
at Eighteen Miles an Hour
Charles H. Clark, of New York
city, inventor of the pedmobile is a
guest at the home of Wilmington
friends in Wilmington and Thursday
afternoon he gave a demonstration of
his pedmobile, which seems to be the
nearest thing to the famous 'seven
league boots" that the human brain
has yet developed. Mr.. Clark was
seen "breezing" along the streets of
Wilmington and attracted much at
tention. The pedmobile is nothing
more nor less than four wheels. two
attached to each foot in much the
same way as a roller skate would be
used. Mr.. Clark started form Ninth
and French streets and went to the
Country Club and returned by way of
the park drive and French street on
his pedmobile, traversing all kinds of
streets and roads making a speed of
from three to eighteen miles an hour.
Hills seemed no impediment in his
progress for be rolled up them just
as easily as he travelled along on the
level stretches and going down hill he
passed everything but automobiles,
and they had to do some speeding
even to keep up to him. Harry Part
ington. a well known automobile
man, and some friends followed Mr..
Clark in an automobile at Mr.. Clark s
request to see that he made the trip
as he agreed to do, and everyone in
the party was impressed with the
wonderful possibilities of Mr.. Clark s
latest invention as a means of rapid
locomotion.

RUSSIAN REVOLT
QUICKLY QUELLED
Soldiers Stage Parade But
Are Quickly Subdued by
Machine Gun Squad
By William G. Shepherd.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Petrograd, July ls,- Delayed. THE
government wins.
Quelling of the revolt which for three
days has torn the city with dissension
end caused fighting ON the streets for
the flrst time since the revolution, had
been apparently accomplished tonight.
The city is rapidly approaching norm
al. 1t was quiet tonight, with no shoot
ing reported.
The street disorders which today re-
suited in proclamation of martial law
in Petrograd apparently grew out Of
Minister of War Kerensky's disband-
ment of several companies of Pavlosk
end .grenadier troops because they re-
fused to fight.
Late Monday night a number of these
soldiers, fully armed, staged a demon
stration on the streets. They were join
ed with nearly 1000 men above the age
of 40, refused military discharge by
Kerensky.
Battle in Street.
Later in the night motor machine
detachment paraded through the Nveski
Prospekt. The Russian people believed
this regiment loyal, but they really be-
longed to the first machine regiment
which had refused orders to proceed to
the front Immediately the authorities
called out the loyal government squad
of motor machine guns. For five min
utes the two units of automobile fight
ers clashed in the streets. There was a
tremendous fusillade in the Nevski
Prospekt and the Sadovai, but not a
single fatality One theory today was
that both sides used blank cartridges.
! At 4 a. m. Tuesday Cossacks parad-
ed and succeeded in restoring order.
Those who participated in the incipi-
cnt revolt were generally of the better
class of Russians. They took advantage
of the cabinet crisis to side with the
boulsheviskas (social democrats) in
demands that the provisional cabinet
resign.
During the entire night, despite all
the shooting, only four persons were
reported killed and one wounded. The
workmen Is and soldiers congress met
Tuesday and warned its members and
adherents against participating in furth-
er demonstrations.
Transfer of all governmental auth
Ority from the duma representatives to
the workmen's and soldiers congress is
one of the main demands Of the revolu-
tionary elements. They laid great
stress on this step today.
