Russ Soldiers Refuse to Giue
Up KorniLoHs Aides for Trial

Petrograd, Sept. 27.-The military
organizations on the southwestern
front, in agreement with the Kiev
group of the workmen's and soldiers
delegates, have refused to hand over
to the commission investigating the
Korniloff revolt Generals Denikine
and Murkoff, as we'll as others who
supported General Korniloff. 1t has
been decided to place these men on
trial before a revolutionary tribunal.
The committee of five in temporary
control of the government, at its final
meeting since the return of Premier
Kerensky from the front, determined
today tha. the premier and General
Verkhovsky shall appear before the
democratic congress which convenes
tomorrow. This action followed a
four-hour session of the committee at
the winter palace, at which the atti-
tude of PREMIER Kerensky is said to
have been substantially this:
While the government is Lot oound
to recognize the democratic congress
and is. not conceding that it repre-
sents the greatest part of Russia, it is
admitted that the congress represents
d large percentage of The "eople
through elements which must be taken
into consideration. In government cir
cles it is understood that the con-
gress will convene for short time

and then adjourn over one day to be-
gin its activities ON Saturday."
On the eva of the opening of con-
gress sensation has been created by
a report that Niko1ai Lenine, the ex-
tremist leader, has reached the capital
from Finland. 1t is said he intends to
appear as the chief orator of the
Bolsheviki at the congress, which he
is confident will defend him.
The Bolshevikis continue to exert
influence over the representatives of
the provincial councils of workmen's
and soldiers delegates. The president
of the Moscow council of workmen
and soldiers has resigned as result
of the adoption by the council of a
resolution unfriendly to the govern
ment. In elections of representatives
to the congress the Bolsheviki candi-
dates received the highest votes.
The Bolsheviki faction proposes to
place the following tasks. upon the
cabinet: ~ -.
Settle the Korniloff affair; reabolish
capital punishment; strain efforts to
attain peace; to summon as soon as
possible the constituent assembly; to
dissolve the Duma and the council of
the empire; to transfer the land to
the peasants Immediately; to establish
state control of production; to pass an
eight-hour labor law; to change radi-
cally the command of the army. Re
ports of the resignation of Foreign
Minister Terestchenko are officially

Mexico City, Mex, Sept, 27.-It is
stated on good authority that an in

sage of messages in German code<be-
tween the German legation and Berlin
by way of the Swedish legation and
Stockholm, as revealed recently by
Secretary of State Lansing, extended
as far back as the early part of 1916.
1t is also stated that these messages
were not confined to dispatches from
Heinrich Won Eckhardt, German min
lister, to Berlin, but that they con-
sisted in part of messages from the
Berlin foreign Office, which were
transmitted through the Swedish le-
cation to Won Eckhardt and were an

They had secured the whole of
the Tower Hamlets ridge, which the
Germans had fought 50 bitterly to

Polygon wood, whose eastern slopes
had been filled with concrete re-
doubts and shiping shelters; they had
battled half way through Zonncbeke
village of immortal memory, and
north of the Ypres- Roulers railway
they were holding many German
strongholds in the valley of the Hane-
beck river. Hard fighting still con-

The advance on the extreme right
was not deep, but was in accord with
the plan to drive the Germans from

this position really began yesterday
when the Germans, In an endeavor to

a series of fierce counter attacks on

The fighting here yesterday was

defenders we're forced to give way
slightly, but with undaunted courage
hurled themselves on the enemy with
such ferceness that they were able to
re-estabiish themselves before the
hour for the new advance arrived.
British troops in this sector began
the new push this morning under the
fatigue of many hours battling against
a determined foe, but they did their
work today and did it well. The fight
ing about Tower Hamlets was very
severe and the Germans were able to
get heavy machine gun fire on the
British from positions to the south.

II. Tense Against Girl. ..

Five minutes after a jury in GRIM
inal court, Judge Estelle presiding,
had returned verdict of guilty" in
the state case CT Perry Barkdoll,
charged with statutory crime against
a 12-year-old girl, deputy sheriffs
stripped his soldiers uniform from
him.
Barkdoll was private in Company
B, Fourth Nebraska National Guard.
He was charged with having mis-
treated> little Nellie Vogan, COS
North Fifteenth street, in a cottage
near Carter lake.
The jury that convicted him delib-
Grated only fifteen minutes.
Chief Deputy County Attorney Alb
bott, prosecuting the case, in his CLOS
ing statement to the twelve venire-
men, declared the offense was the
most revolving he had ever urged a
jury to convict for.
Wears Uniform at Trial.
Barkdoll, who sat throughout the
trial wearing the soldiers uniform,
squirmed and bowed his head when
the prosecuting attorney thundered to
the jury that i: was an insult to the
United States for man charged with
such a crime to enter court room
wearing regulation khaki. He de-
handed that the uniform be stripped
from the soldier if the jury upheld
the states charge
No sooner had the veniremen filed
back into the court room and read
their verdict than deputies hustled
Barkdoll into an anteroom and strip
ped him of his uniform.
Under no consideration would I
allow Barkdoll to wear that uniform
after he was convicted of such a
crime" declared Sheriff Clark.
Several prominent Omaha women,
members of the morals committee of
the State Council of Defense, were in
the court room when the closing ar
guments were made to the jury.
Among them were Mrs. Sarah H. JOS
lyn, Omaha's richest woman, and DR..
Jennie Callfas, chairman of the COM
rnittee.
Two-Day Party Held.
The trial of Barkdoll brought out
facts of shocking two days party"
staged in lonely cottage near Car
ter lake last month, at WHICH SOL
diers and girls of tender years were
guests" +
The little Vogan girl testified that
another soldier, who/is now in camp
at Deming, N. NJ, also mistreated her.
The state produced evidence that the
men in the party had whisky and Bark
doll admitted he was drunk during
part of the time he was with the
girls in the cottage. ~.
Other girls and soldiers were ar
rested in the raid made on the place
early the next morning.
The Vogan girl, who has bobbed
hair and weighs about seventy
pounds, is under the care of the juve-
nile court authorities.

Camp Cody, Deming, N. NJ, Sept.
23.-(Special.) Ut has been but a
week since we arrived in camp and in
some ways it seems like years. 1t has
been long enough for US to realize
that we're in the army now. That
means more than the restrictions and
hard work, too.
Way down here, 1900 miles from
the folks, the real army spirit has en-
tered into the men. The fellows who
have been there will understand, but
those who haven't can never know
just what. it means. q.
This camp is real place. Today
was play day and we looked it over,
About thirty-two square miles are in
cluded within its boundaries and the
vastness of the whole thing would, in
ordinary times, be hard to realize. As
it is it seems perfectly natural.
There are literally thousands of
tents, all in perfect alignment. Each
company has a large dining hall and
kitchen. There are hundreds of giant
motor trucks busy all day long carry
ing supplies Over by the entrance to
the camp are great piles of cordwood
for the fires. Nearby are thousands
of bales of straw and hay. In fact
everything imaginable is here in vast
quantities, for it takes an undreamed
of amount of supplies to care for the
$4,000 men who will be here. II
Along Cody Avenue. ,
Cody avenue is the main thorough
fare and extends from the entrance
to the west end of the camp. We are
about two miles from the eastern en-
trance and the road seems to run
straight into the setting sun. Cook
avenue branches off Cody avenue a
few blocks from the eastern entrance
and runs northwest past the Fourth
Nebraska and the Minnesota troops.
The streets are dragged daily and are
like mecadamized roads, except that
they are kept in better condition
than roads usually are,
/, The traffic makes Sixteenth and
Farnan streets look like country
town. The United States trucks move
back and forth continually. Then
there are hundreds of contractors
