After trying all night TO reach the
steamship the men OF the Barnega,
Coast Guard Station at 8 o'clock this
morning got a boat through the heavy
surf and fog and went TO the aid Of the

Friends of the provisional govern

The provisional government has for
mally refused to modify its note to the
Entente pledging Russia to continue
the war against Germany. The govern
ment declared it would rather resign
than make a separate peace, and also
declared the council of soldiers and
workmen declare itself opposed to a
separate peace. The president of
the council said the governments i'm
Irerialistic attitude was unacceptable,

Not Restrict Power OF Kaiser.

AMSTERDAM, Holland, May "a
Berlin dispatch early today says the
constitutional committee of the Ger
nan reichstag has declined to restrict
the power of the Emperor. The COM
mittee decided that the imperial con-
stitution be so amended as to provide
that ordinances and DEGREES OF the
kaiser be issued in the name of the en-
l5eror and require the consent OF the
imperial chancellor, or his represent
ative, who thereby assumes response
bility to the reichstag. The decision is
in accordance with joint proposal by
the centrists. national, liberal and
progressive members. Conservative
members voted against the chance. The
committee also adopted a resolution
demanding that the chancellor be re-
sponsible to the senate for violation
of lis official duties.

TRAIL OF ROBBERS
LOST NEAR GRIFFIN

The three white men who robbed
the postoffice at Weston, Ca, on
Thursday night, securing about $400
in stamps and a small amount of
cash, were last seen in Griffin, Ca.
about noon on Friday, but after leav-
ing that city, could not be located.
The robbers were traced through
Americas, where they stopped at the
Americus Auto Company's farage at
4 o'clock Friday morning tn get gas
ollne. They were traced out on the
Dixie Highway leading north by Of
ficers from Webster and Terrell coun-
ties who led the chase with posse of
citizens. The peculiar track left by
the rear wheels of the Ford car in
which the robbers were travelling gave
the officers their clue in tracing the
fugitives.
The whereabouts of the yeggmen
after leaving Griffin are unknown and
no trace of their car could be found,
although the authorities wired to
cities in that vicinity to be on the
lookout.
