ROME, Nov. 2.-Withdrawal OF
General Cadorna's third army, prac-

rise to the apprshensIons Of a new
crisis.
John sooklne, first secretary Of the
Russian embassy, hurried to the De-
partment of State and the isuing Of
statements began. Secretary Lansing
said:
There has been absolutely moth
ing in the dispatches received from
Russia, nor in Information derived
from any other source Whatever, to
Justify the impression created by the
Washington Post today principally by
the headline Russia Quits War,
that Russia Is out of. the conflict.
"A reading OF the full interview
with Premier Kerensky, OF which he
paper published only an abbreviated
and preliminary account itself shows
that the head is unwarranted. Our
own Sdvices show that the provis-
ional government in Petrogred Is at
tacking with greet energy the prob
lens confronting IL.
Reports received from Petrograd
by mail and telegraph show that
Premier Kerensky and his govern
ment, far from yielding to dlscoIr-
agement, ara still animated by a
strong determination TO organize all
Russian resources IN a whole-heartsd
resistance and carry the war through
to victorious completion. At the
same time this government Ike
those OF the allieT, is rendering all
possible assistance"
The Russian embassy's statement
criticised the Washington Post for
printing only an abbreviated portion
of the interview. and said the news
paper had entirely misinterpreted
the real sense OF the declaration of
the Russian minister and has done
Russia great injustice, giving the
people OF America an Impression op-
posed to the truth at every point. for
Russia is not out Of the war, and has
no Intention OF quitting, and no word
in Kerensky's interview gives war
rant for any assertion of that kind,
because. as a matter OF fact, the pre-
mier stated the exact opposite. An
swering the question, "Is Russia out
of the war;" he most emphstically
declared that this was a ridiculous
question to ask"

military activity might seem des-
couraging, but the military
men in our Government be-
Iieve that the present war may last at
least three years more and that when
the decisive campaign of 1919 is
fought Russia must be thoroughly or
ganized once more to occupy the at
tention OF the German armies on the
eastern front. In the sense that Rus
sia is girding her loins for effective
military support later on, the policy
OF refrigeration indicated by Premier
Kerensky's interview give basis for
encouragement here.
The outstanding facts are that Rus
STA, while not a military factor, is.
nevertheless, against the making OF
a separate peace, and intends to COM
pose her internal troubles so as to
present substantially q solid front.
The United States Government, as to-
days statements show, has not lost

Things on the allie side of the war
may not look particularly bright with
the Italian reverses still continuing,
but surveys OF the whole war situa-
tion nowadays comprehend a long
look ahead to the days when Amer
ica's economic and military resources
are mobilized for action. Conditions
IN uRss.a have been disquieting and
warrisome for many months, and no
effort is made here to minimize their
seriousness, but today's newspaper
incident Is one OF those things which
can be described in the same phrase
that Mr.. Wilson once used about an

''FRECkLES."

'Freckles' a dramatization of one
Of the most widely read books in the
past decade, by Gene Stratton-Porter
is announced for October 18th, at the
Auditorium theatre.
From literary standards there have
been few greater nature stories writ
ten. That it has been marvelously
popular is attested by the fact that
ver 5 million persons have read it.
When one has read a story there is al
way a desire to see it played; to see
the characters in real life, and this is
undoubtedly the most important rea-
son for the success of "Freckles" as
a song play. During its trial perfor-
mances it drew record-breaking au-
diences. and with unanimous acclaim
the prophecy went forth that it's sue
cess as a song play would equal its
unqualified success as a novel. On
regular tour this season, with a COM
plete scenic equipment and a strong
company of artists and singers it is
playing to capacity audiences every
where.
Under the management and direc-
ton of the Broadway Amusement Co.,
known from coast to coast as produc-
ers of nothing but clean, healthy, dra-
matte attraction, this song play hit is
making theatrical history.

Single British Altman Harries Flock
of TeutOns.

Among the recent exploits by Brit
ish aviatOrs there was one well worth
recording which was carried out last
Wednesday, a day when several no.
table encounters occurred. An Eng
lish airman, after crossing the lines
at an altitude of 1000 feet, saw an
enemy machine and gave chase, but
was driven back by five German AL
~batrosses. He returned towards the
lines and seeing fifteen men on a rail
way, descended and scattered them
with his machine gun. Nearby he
dropped a bomb on a munition dump
surrounded by soldiers and the dump
blew up.
Once more he engaged the same
enemy airplane he had attacked be-
fore, but was again driven off by a
large number of German flyers. He
dlved to escape from them and in do
ing so passed into : heavy artillery
barrage. A shell went through the
mechanism, cutting his elevator con-
trolls and one side of his rudder con
troll. He swung towards the ground,
but managed to right his machine by
using his engine at the last minute and
landed just behind the British barbed
wire.
