Russian Riots QueILed


Germans sent him back to Russia TO agitate
Tor separate peace. lie was ordered he
swore, ito cooperate with Lenine, Madame
Sumenson and others"
IL Is believed some of the German agents
actually participated In the firing on the
streets
The Kronstadt revolters and other mall
contents made their last stand at the Fort.
ress OF SIS. Peter and Paul where the of.
fcials of the old regime In Russia are Inn
prisoned. Contrary TO earliest report, they
did not surrender
Crowds in the streets saw armed men on
bicycles and other skirmshers from actual
trenches dug in the approaching crossways
run first across Troitsky bridge. More in
vaders sneaked across other bridges Some
how they all managed to gain entrance to
the fortress. Then the walls of the old
building began to he dotted with figures
some sailors and soldiers in uniform, others
the black-garbed Lrnnites, who had occu-
pied the fortress when they were ousted
from the palace Of the dancer KshesinslSa
This last stand" was dramatic. The
rat-a-tat-tat of machine-gun fire resounded
in the fortress yard. mingling strangely
with the mellow chimes that poured their
melody from the glittering spre. The tiny
figures to be seen from the river bank dot
ting the fortress walls soon began to thin
out. Then, over the bridges, came the Gov
ernments loyal troops. escortng a filthy,
unshaven body of prisoners. They were

weaklings of the old governmental aristoc-

KERENSSY THE IDOL
None Of Kercnskys troops killed towns
people or agitators in the street fighting.
Eerensky himself is the idol of the city,
the most popular man in the whole Govern
mcnt The Cabinet as now constituted con-
sists of six Socialists and three members
of other Liberal parties, but over all the
| Workmens and Soldiers Council Is COM
pletcly dominant
| There were n number of women who
marched with the Kronstadt sailors In some
! of the earlier clashes on the streets. In
| company with n hundred others the corre-
| spondent was caught in one of these street
battles late in the afternoon. In which a
dozen people were killed. Those who were
wise lay PROSTATE on the ground while tho
bullets hummed and then ran for shelter
of nearby houses

OF COURSE you've been in the Crazy
suppose you think it's tame. Well,
perhaps it is, bat everybody goes
through it breathlessly the first time
expecting every minute to have the
floor turn over and land them in
deep and dark pit or something. A
party of four were there one night re-
Gently two girls and two men. The girls
were a bit nervous, but they were game
and the boys didn't let them skip a thing
They exclaimed over the upside down
house, and got duly lost in the bank with
it's labyrinthian vaults, and then they
came to the place where you go around
innumerable corners in the pitch black
dark, and the floor wiggles, and you get
either scared or bored, according to
your disposition. Whichever you do,
however, you do 1t superlatively. The
men led the way, and the girls had to
follow, there was. no other way out. One
of them-you know her-she came out
three years ago, thought it would
strengthen her to have something to hold
,
she grasped the coat of the man in front
of her, and when he went too fast she
dropped the coat and found his hand
somewhere in the dark and grabbed that
As they rounded the last corner she re-
marked IF you ever let go of me III
never look the same" He made no an,
swer but he didn't let go, so she clung
70 him and at length, at GREAT length,
thew reached the light. AS she turned
around to express her relief to the rest of
the crowd she caught glimpse of a
coattail disappearing into the darkness
behind them. A teasing laugh attracted
her attention, and there across the room
was the man whose coat she had hung
on 70 and whose hand she had tried to
and. The hand she had found had al
ready departed with the disappearing
ooattail. And think It's not taking any
t,nd Of a chance to,say that the owner of
AID hand was laughing away a hard a

marines, but this time it is going to be on
the roof garden of the New Century
Guild, on Locust street above Thirteenth
Speaking Of said sailors and marines,
they certainly have made good friends
around here and wee bird told me that
three had gone out to see a lady and her
daughters recently and with them they
had taken neat little packages of chewing
gum, which they passed around, and, said
Nellie the girl in question: 1--WE all
rocked on the porch and chewed gum to
our hearts content"
Why not, so much is being done for
the uplift of the sailor boys, they might
as well help us along, too, and educate us
into eating gum if we have not done
so before. Well, you live and learn, don't
you?

 Another proof that the closing oF saloons here has been a benefit Is the fact that there is no record with the railroad that a man has lost his position through intemperance for the past six months.
 During the past year the arrests and convictions in Skagway have fallen off 94 per cent and not one O. the eases on record can De attri- buted to liquor,

GERMANS MAKING
ADVANCES In RUSSIA

The Germans have landed troops
on the island of Ossct in the Gulf
of Riga and have captured Aren-
burg, the capital of the island. Os
sci Island is nearly 100 miles north
of Riga, and the new front is still
800 miles from Pctrograd. and no
attempts have yet been made to pen
citrate the Gulf of Finland. The Rus
slams offered some resistance to the
advancement. but it was Ineffective.
The unsatisfactory condition of
state affairs only makes the situation
the more complicated and prOclama-
tions have been sent to the army and
navy exhorting the men to forget
the political differences and return
to the task of defending the coast.
The Russian line is the weakest
along the entire front, and Germany,
realizing this, has struck a hard blow
where she has the advantage. Pco-
pie are fleeing from the Russian cap
ital and it is said, are Offering prem
iums for tickets, although officials
state that Petrograd is in no immed-
late danger.

LAYING OF TRACK
is AGAIN DELAYED

Information comes from reliable
source that the laying of rails to
Roman will be suspended until the
track ballasting has been completed
to Tabor. which means another thir-
ty days before rails are laid in
Roman.
This news is decidedly disappoint-
ing as. previous information given
out was that the track would be
laid into Roman without any delay
whatever after the grading was COM
pleted. This has been done and the
Grow Creek bridge also completed
and it would seem that no valid ex
cuse could be offered for this un-
necessary delay. as assurance has
been received from railroad officials
on many occasions that trains would
be running at this time. 1t is mani
festly unfair to deprive Roman and
country tributary of shipping facili-
ties for this added length of time.
