OKLAHOMA SITUATION
 NOW UNDER CONTROL
Posses Seem to Have Affected District We'll in Hand-Few Indians and Negroes Among the RevOlutiOnists.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. b. With bu two large posses in the field tonight after armed bands of malcon- tents, objectors to the selective draft, Sunday in the counties of Central Oklahoma, which for the last three days have been the scene of an at tempted revolution against the fed eral government, passed almost with out incident.
 Captures of the revolutionists, mem bers of the so-called Working Class Union," the "Jones Family" and other organizations of kindred beliefs have numbered 193, according to the best count available at Sasakawa, in Seminole county, the base of opera tions of the various posses. Of this number 30 were taken today, the large part of them sending in word, generally by woman, that they were ready to surrender. Small detachments then would bring them in. But one death has resulted from the man hunt that of Wallace NJ. Cargill, an alleged leader, late yesterday.
 Rumors of federal or state inter vention with troops. which gained credence last night, were exploded to- day. United States District Attorney W. P. McGinnis at Muskogee tonight informed Sheriff Al Nichols at We woka, in Seminole county, that repre- sentatives of the federal marshal's of flee and of the federal district at torney's office would arrive there to- morrow to aid in running to earth anc prosecuting the renegade to the last man.
 Interest today centered in what re- ception the posses after the two sup. posedly remaining strong bands would receive. A band of 26 of the outlaw. were supposed to be camped on Sal Creek, eight miles northwest of here and another smaller bunch was re ported lodged about 10 miles east Rumors of trouble near Lamar, il Hughes county, tonight could not b, traced to any reliable source.
 From statements taken from pris oners the unanimous belief was sound ed that the uprising had been timed too early. Dreams of conquest, riche: and power have been implanted in tho minds of the ignorant tenant class bl organizers of the different organiza tions until they were led to believe that a show of force was all that was necessary to gain the promised fruits Ahidavits in the hands of officers tel of the innocent belief of the tenant. that to be drafted into the nationa army was to go to sure death.

momentous event of the empire since 1913, when the election of the first Romanoff by a similar conference of notables at Moscow saved the country from dissolution.
 The debate resolved itself into series of panegyrics of the absent kerensky, who was claimed to be the only man invested with the qualities to restore order while preserving lib- erty. Foreign Minister Terestchenko declared that Russia must prepare to fight throughout the winter and that kerensky alone possessed the confi- dence of the nation.
 M. Tseretelli, the minister of posts and telegraphs in an emotional speech echoed the view that Kerensky was the only man who could save the country. In order to alleviate his task, declared the speaker, the gov ernment would abstain from forcing through the party programme. The procurator of the Holy Synod, M. Lvoff, said that he, too. considered the premier the man destined to be Russia's savior. Minister of Justice Effemoff declared the premier as in- dispensable.

Mora Of

Improved
Nation Believed to Have
Narrowly E cape d
Fate of Russia, Due to
Propaganda Distribut-
ed by Enemy Airmen
-CadOrna Removed.

Rome, Nov. 10-Italy will
continue to fight until the end
despite the efforts of German
propaganda and the disaster on
the Isonzo front, in the opinion
of. official circles here. The
government must fight the eff
fects of Austrian and German
propaganda as well as do all
in its. power to drive the enemy
from Italian soil.
It is felt here that Italy narrowly
escaped the fate of Russia, as it is
believed the campaign carried on to
destroy the spirit of the army and
the people reached its height when
the Austro German blow was struck
in the Julian Alps. Political hatreds
have been healed and in the future
all parties will work together earn
estly with the intention of securing
victory.
The first alarming sign of internal
trouble was the outbreak in Turin
last August, but it was effectively put
down. Since the Isonzo defeat tina
authorities have learned that anti
British and anti-American reports
were widely circulated throughout
Italy. Austrian aviators dropped
bombs over Italian trenches contain
ing German propaganda and peace
literature. The propaganda campaign
also was carried on through the many
German citizens who were permitted
to remain in Italy as residents. It
has been discovered that German
agents were able to hire Italians for
the purpose of destroying munition
factories and defenses, blowing up
batt1eships and revealing troop
movements and portions of the bat
tie front slightly held. During the
recent retreat it was noted that the
Austro- Germans possessed detailed
information concerning the number
Of Italian troops and their positions.
Gen. Alfferi, the minister of war, in
announcing to Gen. Cadorna his ap-
pointment to the inter-Allied military
committee says that he understands
how sorry Gen. Cadorna will be to
have to leave the army he SO often
led to victory.
However, the government has felt
bound to ask Gen. Cadorna to make
this sacrifice so that he might con-
tribute in a larger field to the COM
mon task of Italy and the Allies
Gen. Alfieri also sent a telegram
of congratulation to Gen. Diaz, the
