Aldyne has in her the seeds of an
equally imperious nature. Anyway,
there you have the two women and

shadow-world to which she belongs.
Soon, gentlemen, shall let you know

We separated soon afterward. My

You. for example, as Paul Tarrant, the
millionaire, will, | hope, utterly dis

death, will never die, though it may
subsequently assume a Ueggar's robes

that the personality should disinte-

lay aside his crown and robes when
the curtain went down; would we not

RAILROADS ARE
DISORGANIZED
Unless Conditions Improve
They Will Close Opera

CONSEQUENCES
WOULD BE TERRIBLE
Strongest Possible Efforts
Must Be Made to Reorgan-
ize and Reanimate Army

Moscow, Aug 29.-At the third gen
eral sitting of the national conference
the railway representatives reported
there existed a state of utter disorgan.
ization of transportation which, unless
improved, would cease completely by No
vember. The representatives gave warn
ing the consequences would be terrible
both at home and on the front and that
the army might turn on the country and
commit unexampled excesses. The ex-
treme demands of the railway workers,
the speakers said, played an important
part in this disorganization. They called
on all engaged in transport services to
sacrifice personal interests for those of
the country.
General Alexieff, former commander
in-chief, in long address recounted the
the history of Russian military setbacks
and their causes. He drew contrasts be-
tween the army of the old regime, poor
ly equipped with mechanical resources,
but strong in war-like spirit, and the
present army well supplied with food
and arms but completely poisoned and
enfeebled by i'll interpreted and i'll ap-
piled doctrines which have been put for
ward. These doctrines he declared had
split the army into two opposite camps
of officers and soldiers, which have be-
come almost irreconcilable. The general
declared it would be impossible to carry
on the war to a victorious conclusion
unless the strongest possible efforts were
made by the provisional government and
by the troops themselves to reanimate
and regenerate the army.
The second general sitting of the ma
iional conference was held yesterday aft
srnoon. Gen. Korniloff. the commander
n-ehief, entered the hall in company
with Premier Kerensky. His appearance
was the signal for prolonged and en-
husiastic ovation. All the delegates
'heered for Russia, the revolutionary
government and the army.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 29.--To meet
a radical movement for greater taxation

The debate on publishers taxes was
begun to-day by Senator Shields of
Tennessee, who supported the McKeller

and other periodicals, not newspapers,
were the cause of the deficit in carrying

said, that the daily papers are paying

for the service they receive. The rates
