Figs can be grown in this section

urging the farmers and planters
in this section to put at least one

little dull for the past ten days due
primarily to the disappointment
of the Gulf Oil Company not bring

which was bailed the early part

been shot down into the ground.
Unless unexpected trouble arises
to delay operations within the
next thirty days the stockholders
of the Company ought to know

TIGHTEN ECONOMIC MOOSE ON GERMANY
Senate Passes Measure. Already Pass. cd by House, Authorizing Prest- dent To Stop Imports As
 We'll As Exports.

Washington, Sept. 12.-The admin istration trading with the enemy bill which passed the house without dis senting vote in July was passed by the senate late today With many amendment, including one giving the president power to embargo imports and prohibiting publication of wal comment in the German language un less accompanied by parallel column by translation in English.
 Other important provisions inter dict commerce between Americans and Germans or the latter's allies give the president broad powers te regulate operations of enemy insur ance companies in this country ano extend espionage powers.
 The import embargo amendment added today at the administration request would extend present powers over export trade to imports as well
 The bill passed the senate after two days of listless debate, heard by an average of less than dozen members without roll call and virtually with out objection.
 The amendment restricting publica' tion in German, adopted by a viva voce vote, was offered by Senator King and is subject to elimination in conference. It provides:
 'That during the pendency of the present state of war and until peace shall be concluded and the fact de clared by proclamation of the presi- dent, it shall be unlawful for any per son, firm or association to print or publish or cause to be printed or published in the German language any comment respecting the govern ment of the United States or any na' tion with which Germany is at war, it's policies, international relations, the state or conduct of the war or of any matter relating thereto, without printing or publishing in a column parallel to such matter a true and complete translation of the same in the English language. Any print or publication of the German language which does not conform to the pro- visions of this section shall not be admitted to the mail, and it shall be unlawful for any person to transport, carry, or otherwise publish or dis tribute the same. Any person vlo- lating the provisions of tAis section shall on conviction therefor be pun ished by fine of not more than $oOO or by imprisonment for period Of not more than one year, or may in the discretion of the court be fined and imprisoned.'
 Senator King urged adoption of the amendment as "curb" against the vipers in our midst" trying to create dissension.
 "There is no question: said the Utah senator, "that the press, the German press-I don't mean to say all-has done everything it could to stir up sedition and strife and make this war unpopular and those news papers ought to be suppressed"

Day Will Elapse Between Games in New York and Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-A day will elapse between the world series games played in New York and Chica- go, President Johnson of the Ameri- can league announced tonight the railroad offered a 24-hour schedule which would permit games to be play ed in either city the following day, but President Johnson decided the risk of a delay of the special train thus causing a encouragement of the series was too great.
 Players in the American league will be prohibited from writing so-called "expert" newspaper stories of the ser ies, MT. Johnson said, characterizing the practice as absurd.

more immediate interest here than the outcome of Sweden's part in transmit ting the German messages. By many officials it is regarded as improbable that Berlin will fail to take advantage promptly of the loophole left by Ar gentine's offer to maintain status quota in return for repudiation of the minister's action. Acceptance would be regarded here as tantamount to fixing Argentine's part in the war, since sinking of more ships is im- probable with only negligible num- Der of transatlantic vessels flying the Argentine flag.

 GOVERNMENT MEN

Minister of Finance Says Soldiers Loyal to Kerensky
 Arrest Leaders.

Petrograd, ept. 12.-M. Neraskoff minister of finance, today told the Associated Press that the towns of Fskoff and Duga and the railroad station at Ono were all in the hands Of the government troops In the chancellory of council of ministers the correspondent was informed un. officially that the troops loyal to the government have in many cases ar rested their Korniloff commanders and therefore there are indications that the revolt will fail.
 The government has suppressed the Novoe Vremya, a prominent Pc trograd newspaper, as punishment for printing prominently Korniloffs proc lamations while publishing M. Ker- ensky's in contracted form.
 All elements of Moscow, according to reports received here, emphasize assurances of support to the provis- ional government, which have already General Verkovsky called all the off, cers of the garrison together in The public square and was given assur- ance that they would support Premier Kerensky. The Saint George Caval- iers have made special offer of their services and there appears to be unity among the workmen's group.
 Vladimir Puriskvich, the well known reactionary uner the old re- gime, who was arrested at Dvinsky, and later released, is reported again to be in custody.
 Petrograd is said to have sufficient provisions to last fol. four or five days.
 Alexander Guchkoff, the Octoberist leader and former minister of war and navy, who, after leaving Petro- grad last Saturday, joined the Kor- niloff movement, has been arrested. He is now under guard at Pskoff.
 Kerensky's Hackers Optimistic.
 Members of the Kerensky govern ment have informed the Associated Press that while they are unable to report the final overthrow of General Korniloff, they are optimistic con corning the general situation. Uncon- firmed reports say that part of Gen eral Korniloffs army is surrender ing to the government.

gwen out by the Seml-oIIlclal agency. An earlier report from Petrograd said that General Denikine has been placed under arrest.
 The Associated Press was person ally informed this afternoon by Min ister of Finance Nekrasoff that the forces of General Korniloff in the di- rection of Pskoff and at Ono. which were marching on Petrograd, had been outmaneuvered by the troops loyal to the government and their re- treat had been cut off.
 Attempt to Prevent War.
 An abortive attempt to prevent civil war was made by Prof. Paul N. Milukoff, leader of the Constitutional Democrats, former foreign minister and one of the prime movers in the revolution. He first offered, by tele- phone, his services as intermediary with General Korniloft and later held a personal conference with Premier Kerensky. General Alexieff, former commander-in-chief of the Russian ar mics, was present.
 NJ. Milukoff related that few days ago Korniloff invited him to come to his headquarters, but that Milukoff refused to do so. Milukoff said he proposed that he go to headquarters with authority from the government to negotiate peace between the fac tiOnS.
 M. Kerensky, however, declared that no reconciliation was possible and received the backing of the other members of the government in his de mand for the unequivocal surrender of Korniloff.
 General Alexieff, after the confer ence issued statement to the press. in which he said he intended taking no official position or any action in the present situation. He added that he regarded himself as a private indi- vidual outside the conflict.
