General Korniloff, however, had not
had time to remove all the govern
ment troops IL appears from this ac-
count and though there are believed
to be pro-Korniloff troops in and
around the city and particularly on
the railroad between Pskoff and Dno,
the superiority OF the forces in Pet
rograd is believed to be on the side
Of the provisional government.
II is stated also that the pro- Korn-
iioff troops in Petrograd had no prior
knowledge Of the plot. They have so
far been quiet but among them is
proceeding a dangerous ferment,
primarily directed against the Boil
shiviki majority OF the garrison. The
government party declares that no
troops at the rear will support the
revolt.
Up to late Sunday night the rank
and file OF the army at the front was
ignorant of General Korniloff's coup.
Premier Kerensky is in hourly COM
munication with his commissionaires
at the front. who are instructed
firmly to oppose the pro- -Kornfiofc
agitation among the soldiers and in
particular to prevent the infection
spreading among regiments which
are known to be on the side OF the
government.

French Minister of War
Unable To. Enlist Aid
OF Socialists .-..'>-l
WITHDRAWAL AT
LAST MOMENT
Refuse To Form Part Of
Cabinet Which Includes
Former Premier
CBy Associated PrGss.)

Paris. Sept. 12. - Paul Painleve,
minister of war has announced that
he has been unable to form a new
ministry to succeed that OF NJ. Ribot
owing to the eleventh hour with
drawal OF the Socialists, Albert
Thomas and NJ. Varenne.
NJ Painleve went to the Elysee
Palace at / o'clock this morning,
where he was joined by NJ. Bourgeois
and other statesmen. He returned
within an hour and announced to
newspapermen that President Poin-
care had insisted that he continue
his effort to form a cabinet and that
he had asked for time to think over
the situation.
Last night the new ministers as
sembled at the ministry Of war.
Albert. Thomas, socialist member of
the war council and minister of
munitions and Deputy Varenne, who
had been named minister of public
instruction after the permanent dele
gates charged by the Socialist party
to watch the cabinet crisis left the
ministry. According to The Matin,
NJ. Thomas refused to coIlaborate in
the cabinet because the retiring
premier, M. Ribot remained in the
foreign office. When the new minis
ters assembled last night, M. Thomas
rose and said:
I'VE cannot agree to form part of
a cabinet which includes nj. Ribot.
At a moment when we refuse our
support to NJ. Ribot as premier and
foreign minister on account of his
home policy, which we judge too in
dulgent, and because of his foreign
policy which we consider ineffective
we could not collaborate with him,
while he holds that same portfolio
Of Foreign affairs. Besides, Premier
Painleve did. not keep us advised as
to the negotiations looking to the
collaboration of M. Ribot".
Both Painleve and M. Varenne
sought to dissuade M. Thomas from
leaving the cabinet.

The attitude OF General Klembov-

his refusal to accept he post Of

The government, Vice Premier
Nekrasoff said, had told General

his attitude or resign.
General Lokomsky, chief of staff,
the vice premier added, undoubtedly
was the chief conspirator. There was
evidence, the conspiracy had been
prepared carefully and well in
advance whereas the government
was caught wholly unawares.
The constitutional democrats, NJ.
Nekrasoff, said, had no part in the
plot and no members of that party

Real Loyalty TeSt, SUPPORT of the Red

Fargo's real loyalty test will
come next week, when the Red
Cross makes its drive for finan-
cial support.
Fargo failed when the Red
Cross $1OO,0OO,Oo0 fund cam
paign was staged in the nation.
Other North Dakota cities re-
sponded splendidly - Grand
Forks gave $4,000; Devils
Lake, $21, 900; Minot, $34, 900,
and Bismarck, $4,000.
Fargo has almost twice as
many men of draft age as any
other city in North Dakota, and
her men at the front will double
in number those of any other
city. She has a company of in
fantry, $50 strong, in the First
N. D. infantry. And scores of
others have gone, or are going.
The needs of these men will
be twice as great as those of the
men of other North Dakota cit
les.
Fargo must come forward in
proportion as her sons go to the
of the burden.

Washington, Sept. I2.-Anxiety
among officials and diplomats here
today over the Russian situation was
based largely on indications in un-
official dispatches that both Premier
Kcrensky.s provisional government
and also the forces behind General
Korniloff were gathering strength.
Such q situation they fear, IL long
continued, would cause the general
anarchy most dreaded by Russia's
friends.

gregational church, and G. Fl. Grubb,
who had charge of the financial end
Of the occasion.
Mr.. Grubb related his experiences
in raising the money and ended with
the surprising announcement that
the funds raised were more than suffi-
cient to meet the obligation, and that
it had been necessary to call trustee
meeting to decide on the disposition
of the surplus. Rev. Smith congratu-
lated those present on their achieve
ment, while Rev. Johnson thanked
those who had contributed to make
the event possible. A rising vote of
thanks was given Mr.. Grubb for his
unstinted devotion to the task.
At the close Of his discourse and at
Rev. Smiths suggestion, all sang
"Blest Be the Tie that Binds" Then
G. A. Dearborn, who was an overseer
at the erection Of the present par
sonage, with the aid Of a flint and
steel, set fire to the mortgage and
note, in the hands of A. Thornton, the
oldest living member of the congrega-
ton, while the assemblage struck up
the familiar strains of Praise God
From Whom All Blessings Flow"
The song was repeated when some
one recalled Baraboo's recent achieve
ment in voting out the saloon
The enjoyable evening closed with
music by the orchestra, composed OF
Mrs. Hazel Carow, John E. Won Wald
