Unique Event In The History
Of The World Registra-
ton Of Women

By order Of the President Of the
United States, the governor Of each
State, will, in the near future, ap-
point q day when every woman over
eighteen years og age, regardless Of
race, viii be urgently requested "a
register at the polls in order that a
census Of women may be obtained
to aid in the work Of National De.
Tense along lines with which they
IRE already familiar.
For the first time in history the
government Of ! mighty nation is "a
officially recognize its woman pow
er, and BY complete and detailed Or
ganization derive an immense bene-
fit thereby. The service that the wo-
men always render during any crisis
in the affairs Of any Nation has
ever been a most potent factor, but
the power of this service ian be
quadrupled by systematic organiza-
tons.
There will be four polls in Morgan
City,-one at the City Hall, one in
the Annex, one in the school house,
and one in Klingsville. Six obliging,
competent women will be in charge
at each poll to explain any detail
that has not already been made
clear. It is to respond to this call
with the same alacrity and zeal
which they have shown on every
other occasion, either for the COM
munity or the nation.
All service is to be purely volun-
tary, but it is hoped that every wo-
nan will devote all possible time,
thought, and energy to any work
that the government, through its
proper representatives calls upon
her to perform.

And now fortune chose to favor the

to whether it was another enemy craft
or possibly an American survivor OF
that triangular duel which had result

day, Patria was quickly able to recog-

ton which Enthusiastically identified the
newcomer as one Of her Own corps.
There was. however, no way Of tell

original crew or by the Japanese who
might have captured the plane. But
all doubts as to this were soon set at

Maximalists Seize All
Petrograd Telegraph Wires

PETR0GRAD. Nov. The Maxi
malst movement toward seiZing au-
thority, rumors of which had been
agi.ating the public ever since the
formation of the last coalition Cabinet,
eliminated Tuesday night, when, with
out disorder. MaXimslist forces took
possession Of the telegraph office and
the Petrograd Telegraph Agency.
Orders Issued by the government for
the opening of the spans of the bridges
across the Newt were overridden by the
military committee OF the Council Of
Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates.
Communication was restored after sew
eral hours of interruption. Nowhere
did the MaXimalists meet serious oppo-
sition.
An effort by militia to dispense
crowds provoked fight in which one
man was killed.
Minor disturbances. somea ccompa-
MED by shooting, occurred in various
quarters of the city. 4 number Of
persons are reported to have been
killed or wounded, but there is no con
firmatiin.
Patrols Of soldiers, sailors and civil
JAMS in the streets maintained order
in the streets this morning. The shops
and banks began to close up about
noon.

Russia Must Overthrow
Maximalists to Achieve
Freedom, Says Bakhmetef

MEMPHIS, Nov. Sin an address
tonight Boris A. Bakhmeteff. the Rus
sian Ambassador, declared that If Rus
sia is TO achieve political freedom tho
Maximslsts who revo.ted against tho
Kerensky Provisional Government o.
Petrogrsd must be overthrow.
Immediate peace, such Is the Max
imaIists propose, he said. could result
only in the oppression of Russia.
While not attempting 70 minimize
the gravity Of the situation in the Rus
sian capital, Ambassador bskhmeteN
said the Maximalist revolt was revolt
OF the few against the many.
"The majority of the Russians Who
have followed kerensky since the Ro.
manoffs were overthrow last March,
he said, ARE heart and soul with the
herensky government. They fully VI
derstand that the freedom OF Russia Is
assured only through an Allied vietoy
against Prussian sutoeracy. they VIII
Aght TO the end"
Soon after his arrival from Wash
ington, Ambassador Bakhmeteff was
Informed by the Associated Press
of the overthrow Of the Kerensky goT-
ernment His reply TO the disquieting
news was that "the intent and spirit o.
Russia as whole can in no way be
Judged by the news from Petrogrsd.'
He added that the spirit prevailing m
the capital was not representative o.
the Russian spirit rs a whole.
Ambassador Bakhmeteff left tonight
for Washington.

Still Powerful

The Russian army has been terribly
misrepresonted abroad. II will fight
FOR the revolution. IL will fight for
democracy in Germany. But it will not

perialistic.
The Stockholm conference was de.
vised by the Russian revolutionary de-
nocracy for the purpose OF reaching
the German proletsrat in order 10 in
duence II TO overthrow the HohenSol.
Terms. The refusal of passports by the
Allies to their delegates to Stockholm
was terrific blow at Kerensky. II sup
piled his opponents with a mighty wes-
pom against him. And they used it. The
army was told by the followers of Le-
nine that here finally was irrefutsbie
proof of the Imperialism of the Allies.
1t was told that Kerensky was a traitor
to the cause of revolutionary democ-
racy.
kerensky was not a traitor, although
he felt his failure TO carry out the
mandate Of the masses. But he did
not give up hope. Neither did his
friends. Kercnsky believed 70 the last
moment that the United States would
rescue Russia from the rising tide Of
extremism. lie believed that President
Wilson would back his demand for u
conference to restatc the Allies war
aims. Such a conference would have
been the death knel Of the Bolsheyiki.
Lenine would no longer menace he

moderates. For a while IL seemed that
the Allies would finally meet the rep
resen,atiyes Of the Russian democracy
at the conference. That would nave

But last week Kerensky received his
mortal blow. Jules Cambon, French
Minister. announced that the repre-
sentative of the Council OF Workmen
and Soldiers would not be admitted TO
the Paris conference. Lord Cecil fol-
lowed il UP with the announcement
that the conference would not even
take I'D the discussion of war aims.
The revolutionary democracy OF Rus
STA felt outraged. Here was an insult
10 its highest authority. Kerensky and
his followers realized the hopeless
ness of the situation. He did his best
70 reconcile the Allies with the New
Russia. But the Allies would not un-
derstand his motives or heed his ap-
peals.
1t is hardly possible now to arrest
the tide of emotiona!ism aud eXtremlsm
rising in Russia. kerensky cannot DO
il alone. This is certain. II he could
succeed in establishing government
outside of Petrograd, he would need
the immediate moral support or the
Allies. This support would have to take
the form Of an open pledge TO restate
their war aims as soon as possible.
Without such support Kerensky, who IS
too patriotic to start a civil war. IS
not likely TO challenge the MaXlmallst

Britain Hopes That Army
Nav Yet Sape Kerensky

LONDON, Nov. S.-Chancellor An
drew Bonar Law informed the House
Of Commons this afternoon that the
government had 10 news of the latest
Developments in Russia. The Russian
Embassy also was without advlees.
The Only news of the deposition of the
Kercnsky government thus far has
lcen recei7ed from the Russian Wire-
News Agency, Uoth or whlcn ate now
controlled by the MsXimalists.
There is hone here that there may
be another side to the picture. Il is
considered possible that the Kerensky
faction may not have been turned out
of power as completely as the Maxi
malists represent and that tho con-
serratives may be able 20 reasscrt
themselves without genera civil
war. The army holds the key 90 the
situation and the issue appears to
hang upon how far the soldiers re-
spord 20 the Maximalist proclamation.

Kerensky Is Paying
Penalty of Weakness,
Is Vietv in London
By Frank Getty

LONDON, Nov. S.-Kerensky has
been slowly pushed back against the
wall and, failing to take strong action
in time, has now paid the penalty Tor
his weakness. The best informed and
official circles in England hold TINS
view of the Russian situation to-nlSh''
No effort is made here 10 minimize
the disaster which has befallen the
Provisional Government, although u Is
felt that il Kerensky had recognized
the danger he could have prevented
the present downfall. or at least pro-
longed il. II is the belief here That
the Soviet will not be strong enough to
hold the power long from the govern
ment and that another counter-reyolu-
ton will follow shortly. Whether, as
is feared in some quarters, this VIII
take the form of reactlonary move
nent reestablishing the Grand Duke
Nicholas, for instance, IL is Impossible
20 say, but such an occurrence Is not
considered likely.
1t must always be remembered, how
ever. that il is Petrograd, and lot the
whole of Russia, which has FALLEN into
the hands of the revolutionary mill
tarv committee. The Russian CAPT
tai lately has become less and less the
real centre of strength in Russia, and
tho present movement which has over
thrown Kerensky has not yet extended
70 all parts of the country.
Fl Keronsky had only realized his
danger and moved the government to
Moscow, it is felt here that he would
have stood q good chance of Organiz;
sacks, VINO are still loyal. TO over
throw the Lenine crowd and restore
himself to power. Now IL is too late.
Russia Is definitely in the hands OF
the pro-German group, which Is IN
sisting Oh an immediate armIs,iee, fol-
lowed by separate peace.
The great question Is whether the
revolutionary military committee Will
be able to establish themselves sui
iicicntly 70 force such an undesirable
settlement on the country, in which
all the other parties are unanimously
agreed against a separate peace. Nat
uIally, with the telegraph lines in the
hands of the Soviet il is impossible
to get the whole truth from Russia.
The latest information reaching Off
cial sources here comes from an un-
BIASED and reliable source, and II Is
to the effect that the revolutionary
military committee succeeded without
any bloodshed in deposing Kerensky
and establishing Bolsheyik rule in
Petrograd
Trouble of this sort has been brew
ing for weeks, but the only action the
government took was the suppression
Of some Bolshevk presses, which had
been fomenting revolution. Recently
the revolutionary committee demanded
complete control of the General Staff,
something which naturally it was out
of the question for the government to
grant. It was this demand and the re-
fusal which led directly to the present
revolutionary movement.
II is recognized that IN Russia to-day
any one who can get man aud boy
to follow him can accomplish great
deal against the unorganized farces

Rise of Kerensky
Remarkable ; Still
A Force in Russia

Alexander Feodorovitch Kerensky,

months and considered one of the
greatest statesmen of the present ting,

was principal of the high school OF
Simbirsk, town on the River Nolga,
but later removed TO Iashkent, where
Young Kerensky was reared. The
Young man was graduated from the
Petrograd University Law School in

millions is centred on HIM. VIII

In the bitter struggle with Czarism,
Kerensky was one Of the first Social
Reyolutionists, the party which was
largely responsible for the overthrow
of the Romanoffs. He was a peoples
man. Beloved By peasants and work-
men, he identified himself completely
with the struggle OF the masses for
freedom.
I'm 1912 Kerensky was elected mem
