Agreement ON Defense Xiii

QUITE the most complimentary thing it Is
possible TO say Of the agreement OF the
conference committee of the Senate and House
on the national defense bill is that this agree
ment should have been reached a week ago
me clauses authorizing Colonel Roosevelt to
raise q DIVISION. or a corps, o. AN army, or
whatever 1t was the Colonel proposed to raise.
never had any place in a measure providing
primarily for compulsory military service. and
should have been excluded Within half an
hour after the confelees met.
The agreement to fix the ages nj mon
called TO the colors between twcntv-oua and
thirty is not ideal. but II will serve. THO
Senate Dill made the ages twnutv.nno IN
twenty-seven. which was better. and N. pnn-
eral staff proposal, with ages from nineteen
TO twenty-five. was best. The House ul,n
was impossible.
The duty Of both Senate and House now
is to pass the bill as agreed on in conference.
Every hours delay, as we have said before
IS a blow to the allied cause. 1t means mo
sacrifice OF moro American lives. II defars

FOOD SHORTAGE
CAUSES UNREST

LONDON, Sept 10.-A state OF
war was proclaimed in Petrograd
today as preparations were begun
for the partial civil evacuation OF
the capital.
Premier Kerensky announced dis
missal OF Gen. Kornlloff as COM
mander-in-chief Of the Russian ar
mics. Cen. Klembovslry was named
in his place.
Kerensky demanded that Korniloff
not only resign, but thas he quit
the Russian army at once, according
10 dispatches received here.

announced

success at Riga, the enemy's plans
for advance on Petrograd and re-
doubled campaign by German pro-
pagandsts. have all resulted IN great
tension In the Russian capital. There
have been numerous explosions In
munitions factories. Special guards
were put over all such plants today
and drastic regulations announced
for all industries.
All members OF the cabinet are
now AZ army headquarters in con-
ference over the military situation.
Premier Kerensky and Gen. Kor-
ilom have been at odds since the

that time demanded institution or
practically every rule OF the old
autocratic army rcgulaticns--and
particularly insisted on restoration
OF The death penalty He declared
Russia could only be saved thru
violent strengthening OF h"r armies
and that this could only come

was arranged shortly after the Mos
