Commission May NOtReach Bisbee
 for Several Days
(By Review Leased wireJ

GLOBE, Oct, 10. - The United States industrial commission will not conclude its inquiry into conditions in the copper mines here before the end of the week according to present indi- cations. The sessions may end be- fore that time but Secretary Wilson said tonight he was anxious to re- main in the district until every inter est had been given a full and complete hearing.
 The commission has concluded the hearing devoted exclusively to the strikers and at four o'clock today be- gan the second hearing devoted to the men now working in the mines but who are not all union men. The mine operators are due to follow the miners conference.
 Thus far all sessions have been held behind closed doors and the question of a public hearing Is under considera- tion. An apparently well-founded re- port today declared the member of the unions had offered to return to work in the mines. leaving a settlement of the strike trouble to Secretary Wilson and providing the mine operators would be satisfied with his decision. Secretary Wilson when asked about this, declared he had nothing to say at this time.

lgy Revlew lA.ased Wire ,

PETROGRAD, Tuesday. Oct 9-The new coalition government assumed control of Russia today, replacing the council of five, organized a month ago
 Diplomats Encouraged.
 The diplomatic corps in Petrograd is more optimistic over the situa ion than at any time for months past At present it seems to be considered that he only important political cloud on the horizon is the election of the radi- cal, Leon TTotzky, to succeed M. Tcheidse, as president of the central executive committee of the Petrograd council of soldiers and workmen dele gates. The new commi tee of this council comprises four Bolshevikis, two social revolutionists and one Max imalist.
 The cabinet today discussed coolly the Bolsheviki soldiers and workmen's ultimatum declining to recognize the authority of the sovernmen: the view being taken that the influence of this element is decreasing.
 Faces Huge Problem.
 The new government is facing some difficult tasks, including the revolt in Turkestan, from which district no communication has been received for three days. and the dissensions in Fin land. It is considered in diplomatic circles, however, that the government has started upon an earnest effort to solve these problems.

AMSTERDAM, Oct 10.-At the pie nary sitting of the reichstag yesterday Dr. George Michaelis, the imperial chancellor, asserted that peace was i'm possible so long as Germany's enc mics demanded any German soil or en- deavored to drive wedge be,ween the German people and their emperor. This speech of the chancellor was de- livered during the discussion of the resolution against plopaganda in the army in favor of a German peace.
 We could get along much better" :" said the chancellor, If those who com bat the peace resolution of July 19 and assert that its supporters want a sep arate pace, would be more just toward this resolution. We must work out in their positive sense and forcefully, the aims comprised in this resolution. We must be clear in our minds as to what we desire and must emphasize what was said in the resolution.
 Germans United.
 "The German nation will stand to- gether as one man, unshakable. and persevere in the fight until its rights and the rights of our allies to existence and development are assured. In it's unity the eGrman empire is invincible.

C.&A. MANAGER IS COMMISSIONED IN
 ARMY ASA MAJOR
John C. Greenway Will Leave Bisbee for Service Abroad. Given Post Among United States Forces Abroad.

John c. Greenway, brevet captain of Theodore Rooseyelt's famous Rough Rider regiment in the Spanish American war. general manager of the Calumet and Arizona mining in terests in the state of Arizona, in cluding the New Cornelia Copper company and the Gadsden Copper company, has been commissioned a major in the United States army, en- gineer corps This information was received in Bisbee yesterday by w. B. Gohring, mine superintendent of the c. and A.
 The wire is a follows:
 Have joined the army as major of engineers. Expect to sail in Is days. Will return to Arizona on the 14th for four or five days. Regards to you and all my friends.
 JOHN c. GREENWAY."
 Major Greenway, since the declara- tion of hostilities between Germany and the United tSates. has been anx- ious to join the colors of this nation. When Col. Theodore Roosevelt sought to raise a division for service in France. Greenway was picked as d colonel for one of the regiments. When the offer of the former presi- dent was declined, the Bisbee man did not cease to hope to be used abroad.
 As fast as possible. Greenway com pleted several large projects. which he had under his direction; the most notable one being the starting of the teaching plant of the New Cornelia at Ajo. Some weeks ago he left for the east and the telegram of yesterday, dated at Washington, is the answer to his absence.
 The board of directors of the c. and A. company will arrive in Bisbee some time next week, it is thought, for the purpose of taking some action on the pending absence of Major Green way. Undoubtedly an acting genei al manager will be named while the beard is in sessino here.

Ample Supply Of Fuel Oil Assured

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-An ample supply of fuel oil for the British navy was assured today at conference be- tween British government representa- tives. Standard oil officials and mem bers of the shipping board. oil re- serves in Great Britain have run so low, the conference disclosed, that many British warships have been forced to remain inactive.
 Tonnage Is Problem.
 To remedy this situation the ship ping board will rush Construction of fifty-eight oil tankers recently com mandeered in shipbuilding yards and is considering building at least forty more. The problem. it was brought out today. is entirely one of tonnage. There is an abundance of oil on this side of the Atlantic

 The British representatives propos' ed that the shipping board requisition Standard Oil ships to carry supplies to their navy. but Standard oil officials showed that that would create a short age in the United States. British rep resentatives today said their navy would require about 36O,OOO tons of oil a month. Shipping board officials made it clear that there was little likelihood of the United States being able to furnish ships to carry oil for merchant craft.

SEE GERMAN WEAKNESS.
tBy Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Oct 1O.-Few dis patches since the war began have created more interest at the navy de partment than today's report from Amsterdam telling of a revolt in the German navy. Officers unhesitating- ly declared that the story. so far not confirmed in official reports. was one of the most encouraging signs Of the year for the allies and probably one of the most ominous from the Ger. man view. They pointed out that while the allied powers have noted repeatedly recently in their official statements, that the morale of the German troops was declining and ob- servers have believed that the end would come in food anl labor riots or perhaps in a political revolt. there has been nothing to suggest that the iron discipline of the German mill tary system had lost it hold over fighting millions in the slightest de- gree.
 Declining Morale.
 luc ucClluluE uoTtlc Ou tNt west ern front noted. il was stated. has shown itself in the feeble character of counter attacks as compared 10 the all but irresistible drive a year ago. Assault after assault has dash ed itself to pieces before the French and British trenches.
 The revolt in the navy. these off cers said. was a more serious matter for Germany. The sailors generally have not been subjected to the batter ing of the guns day after day. month after month. They insisted that if there is discomfort among the sailors with their condition. 1t must be even greater in the army.
 No Publicity Hurts.
 As one possible explanation of the navy revolt they pointed out that ever since submarine warfare was started by the Germans, the British have adopted the consistent policy of sup pressing information as to the fate of the submarines sent to the bottom by their patrols. The policy was alopied as a deliberate method of breaking down the morale of the sub marine crews.
