PETROGRAD, Sept. II. With Kor-
nilof's troops within thirty-three miles
of Petrograd and reported TO be con-
tinuing their march toward the cspi-
tai. Premier Kerensky issued state
ment tonight asserting in substance
that the backbone Of the revolt had
been broken.
The advance of the military leader
had been checked, the Premier declared,
and individual units of Kornilof's
command had appealed to the Pro-
visionsl Government for authority TO
arrest their commanders for disloyalty.
On the other hand. unconfrmed re-
ports circulated at the Winter Palace
this morning declared that the first
collision between the troops under Kor-
niloff and the government forces al
ready has taken place, the generals
supporters having opened the hostil-
tiles by bombarding government posi-
tions with heavy guns.
In the face of these conflicting ad-
vices it is impossible to judge the true
situation, but there are strong indi-
cations tonight that Kerensky is gain
ing the whip hand. with the support
of the most powerful groups in the
country
The great majority of the army, the
navy, the people Of the provinces, the
railroad and industrial workers and
all influential political groups have
ranged them selves behind the Premier,
whose strength in the crisis is hourly
increasing.
Most Of the army chiefs have gone
over TO the side OF the government in
its conflict with Kornilof, and those
who have proclaimed their support OF
the general have been arrested. The
Kerensky ministry, retained in Office,
has declared martial law in the capital
and is contemplating drastic measures
to defend the city from attack, but the
Premier is confident that bloodshed
will be avoided.

Records Of Philadelphia
"Tageblatt" Bare Secrets
of Propagandists
Letters to Editor
Involve La Toilette
Readers Duped by Fake
Dispatches Clarifying
Kaiser's Cause

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 11.-Evidence
seized by the government agents in
their raid on the Philadelphia "Tage-
blatt" office Monday evening shows
that the paper was part of national
conspiracy against the United States.
In the books and records of the
"Tageblatt" is evidence that il re-
ceived regular money contributions
from a man in Mexico, supposed to
have been a German agent. The books
also show that the "Tageblatt" was
not supported by the German labor
organizations. for which it claimed to
be the official organ, but had entirely
different and much more mysterious
sources of income.
At the same time, the "Tageblatt."
since the outbreak of the war employed
a man who came to this country only
since the war broke out, whose whole
family is in Germany and who was
given an important position in the
editorial department of the paper as
a sort of German censor to see that
the paper was kept in the right Ger
man and anti-American tone.
In the correspondence of the paper,
letters also were found from several
prominent Americans in Congress, in
Guiding Senator La Toilette and others,
who may be seriously embarrassed by
the "Tageblatt" raid
Official News Ignored
Finally. while the "Tage blatt" editors
were drawing on their imagination TO
manufacture Kaiser victories and Amer
lean distress, food scarcity, military
impotence and disaster, the official, au-
thentic information sent TO the paper
by the United States government de-
partments was thrown scornfully in
the wastepaper baskets. The "Tage-
blatt" editors didn't even take the
trouble of opening the envelopes con-
tanning true information sent out by
the United States government TO all
newspapers. This kind of news was
found in sealed envelopes just as it
was received in the wastepaper bales
recovered in the raid.
And all the time the "Tageblatt"
editors were doing this they sat in their
Office and wrote fake kilograms and
cablegrams from dam, Berlin,
London, Petrograd and Washington
bolstering up the Kaiser's cause. The
point about the "Tsgebatt" articles,
manufactured in its own Office, but
printed with date lines indicating that
they had been received from foreign
cities, is that b. putting these date
lines in their homemade lies the
"Tsgeblatt" editors made II appear as if
the lies had been passed upon and ap-
proved by official French, English or
American censors.
The "Tageblatt" records also show
that il was in constant communication
with Germans throughout the country.
and that it's long serial stories were
syndicated German propaganda assem-
bled and sent out in matriX form from
the Office of the NewYorker Stats
Zeitung' These long syndicate stories
were all part Of national German
propaganda, and contained rarely any
thing except arguments in favor Of
Germany, and twisted historical re-
view attacking England, France and
Italy and blaming them for the war in
which Germany was the innocent. in
offensive victim of brutal attack and
unscrupulous intrigue.

of the construction methods should

briefly.
U The questions of location, de-
sign. drainage. grading. etc, are. if
anything, more important in the case
of sand-clay roads than in the case of
earth roads.
(2) The amount of clay contained in
finished sand-clay road surface
should be only slightly more than suf-
ficient to fill the voids in the sand.
Ordinarily about one part of clay to
two parts of sand gives satisfactory
results. though The proper prol~Drtion
for any particular case can be deter
mined best by experiment.
(3) For average country-road traffic
and n stable roadbed, the depth of a
sand-clay surface should he about
eight inches after 1t is compacted. If
clean sand and pure clay were used to
make the mixture, the respective
depths of the sand layer and the clay
layer required would be approximate
" eight inches and four inches, meas

three inches to about five inches. and
depends on the sand content of the
clay and the compactness of the road
bed. 1t should be borne in mind that,
in this case, it is better to have n sur
plus of sand than surplus of clay
in the surface, because the former is
more easily corrected.
Case 3.-Figure . illustrates the two
principal steps involved in construct
ing a sand-clay surface with topsOil
or other natural sand-clay mixture.
The roadbed should be graded in the
usual way. except that the portion to
be surfaced should be trenched out
with the grading machine to receive
the surfacing material. The surfacing
material should be spread to such a
depth that il will be at least eight
inches thick at the center when COM
pacted.

bring the sand and clay on the road
separately and mix them in place, the
method employed should be Il cOmbi-

(4) In constructing a Sand-clay sur
face, the two constituent materials
should be thoroughly and Intimately
mixed together in all cases. In max
ing artificial mixtures therefore, much
blowing and narrowing are required.
90 No matter what method is fol-
lowed in constructing sand-clay sur

upon to puddle and compact the sur
facing material. and the road never
