SITUATION IN RUSSIA
GROWS ALARMING

Washington.-Russia's critical inter-
nal situation, aggravated by the new
German drive against Riga threaten
ing the capital, is watched by officials
here with grave concern. 1t became
known that official advices are closely
in accord with press dispatches de-
scribing grave political conditions.
The outcome of the forthcoming
extraordinary national council to be
held in Moscow is awaited here with
interest scarcely less keen than in
Russia itself, The immediate fate of
Russia, it is felt, depends upon it.
Out of the great gathering, in
which the conservative elements of
all sorts are expected to unite in an
effort to compel the provisional gov
eminent to throw off the socialisttc
control of the soldiers and workmen's
council, one of two results is expected:
"The formation of a strong central
lied government capable of rapidly
reorganizing the army and resuming
the offensive against the central pow
ers or open civil atrife."

NEGRO TROOPS WHO KILLED
MANY CITIZENS DISARMED

Houston, Texas.-Negro soldiers of
the Twenty-fourth infantry, who shot
up the streets of Houston, were be-
ing entrained to be removed to Colum-
bus, N. M.
Capt. l.. S. Snow, commanding the
battalion, said that the action of the
negroes was practically mutiny."
A scene probably unique in the an
nails of the United States army was
enacted at Camp Logan during the
afternoon when the six hundred SOL
diers Of the battalion of negro infan-
try we're disarmed.
Thanked by a full battalion of the
Nineteenth infantry under Col, Mil
lard F. Waltz and three companies Of
the coast artillery from Fort Crock
EFT, the negro soldiers were marched
four abreast to the parade grounds
where their arms were stacked. Army
trucks then loaded the rifles and am
munition and conveyed them to the
camp storehouse, where they were
placed under heavy guard.

Mission Here to Greet American AS

non Cause-How Best Two Nations
Can Cooperate.

Washington. - Japan's mission to
the United States with a message of
congratulation and appreciation to
President Wilson from the emperor
and people of Japan, was welcomed to
Washington with warmth and enthu-
siasm by the public with the highest
mark of courtesy by the government.
Passing through streets thronged
with people, past long lines of school
children dressed in white with the red
sun of Japan ON the fronts of their
gowns, the distinguished visitors were
escorted by cavalry to the residence
of Perry Belmont, where they will be
the guests of the government during
their stay. They will make the formal
calls which must precede the official
conferences being arranged for them,
and they they will dine with the Pres
ident.
Yiscount Ishii, the special embassa-
dor, spoke to the newspaper CORE
s%pondents of his qualification at the
welcome given the mission here, at
Honolulu, San Francisco and at all
stages of it's journey. He said:
We Are All Delighted.
"To say I am pleased to be in
Washington would be too convention
al. I am delighted-we are all de-
lighted-with the cordial reception.
"In speaking to the gentlemen of a
newspaper press which Yields such
enormous power in this great country,
I am we'll aware that purely conven-
tional utterances is worse than moth
ing. But at the same time, what can
I say? ObvicHely it will be improper
to anticipate the message I carry from
the emperor Of Japan to your great
President.
"My last visit to America was just
ten years ago. Since then many
things have changed and now that
Japan and America are brothers in
arms fighting for a great common
cause I have every hope and conf
dence in success, victory and for per-
manently continued international
unity"
The members Of the mission dined
informally with the japanese ambas-
sador.
The mission, it is authoritatively ex-
planned, has not come here on a COM
mercialy or political errand, but to
greet the United States as a brother
nation fighting for a common end to
decide after a consultation how best
the two nations can cooperate both
in an economic and military sense, in
carrying on the war.
Among the most important prob
lens is that of the disposition of Japa-
nese shipping, with the view to max
ing it of the greatest assistance in the
conduct of the war.

ED TO ARRIVE SOON.
ARRIVE ABOUT SEPTEMBER 10
Between 10000 and 100000 Soldiers to
Train at Chariotte-Men Coming
From Washington, Oregon, Wyom-
ing and Montana.

Washington.-The Forty-irst nation
al guard division, comprising troops
from Washington, Oregon, Montana,
Idaho and Wyoming, has been ordered
to train at Camp Greene, Charlotte,
N. c., and Camp Fremont at Palo AL
to has been abandoned because the
California state health authorities
have decided that a latarine sewerage
system such as the war department
proposed would be injurious to the
health of the community.
Secretary Baker, announcing the
change, said that the war department
could not see it's way clear to spend
half a million dollars for such d sew
erage system as the state health
authorities thought necessary in a tenn
porary camp. Decision to transfer
the division to Camp Greene caused
much speculation as to the possibility
that the troops would be sent to
France at an early date. No confirma-
ton of the report could be obtained in
any official quarter, however.
"It would mean a months delay to
build a water carried sewer system
ard the camp at Charlotte is now prac-
tically ready. The transfer of the d.
vision to Charlotte, Secretary Baker
explained, would make it possible to
get the division under training with
out delay and bring it $500 miles
closer to it's point of embarkation.
A suggestion that the Camp Ere
mont site might be used as a national
army cantonment was discussed by
Senator Phelan with the secretary, but
no definite plan for this has been work.
ed out.
Reports that the Forty-first division
might soon follow the Twenty-sixth
and Fo%rtysecond divisions to France
apparently were founded on the fact
that the far west is not strongly rep
resented in the Forty-second or Rain
bow" division and the Twenty-sixth
is composed entirely of New England
troops. The Twenty-sixth and the For
ty-seoond are in process of ~concentra-
tion and both probably will be ready
to go as soon as shipping is available.

The battle along the 1sonZo has de-

the Italians. who it is now plain are
making one of their greatest efforts Of
the war thus far.
General Cadorna's men, who at the
beginning of the offensive effected a

believed such a feat was impossible,
have won another spectacular victory
by scaling Monte Sano, 2,245 feet high
and placing their flag there.
Farther south, on the Carso, fight

Washington.-The United States re-
affirmed its faith in the new Russian
democracy and gave concrete evidence
of it's confidence by loaning another
hundred million dollars to the provi-
sional government.
Announcement of the loan came
from the treasury soon after Secre-

Russia were of an ~unfavorable nature

fidential dispatches to the government

Riga by the Germans recalling that
the place had been evacuated five
times during the a Major General
Scott, chief of staff, who was a mem
Der of the Root commission, agreed
that the capture of Riga would not
be an important s~trategical loss. A

the allies are counting to maintain a

had just sent to Ambassador Bakmet-

from Foreign Minister Tereschtenko.

WILSON M0c|F|ES RULES
Clears Up Contested PoInts.-Orders
For Mobilization OF First Increment
Changed and Experie need Men viii
Be Taken First.

Washington.-At the direct sugges-
ton of President Wilson, Provost
Marshal General Crowder 4lephoned
to all governors a supplemental ex-
PLANTATION of regulations governing the
status of merried men under the draft
law. No change in regulation is
made, and the purpose of the state
ment is to clear up misunderstand-
ings.
In a letter to Secretary Baker,
quoted by General Crowder, President
Wilson states his opinion that the
regulation directing local boards "to
establish the fact of dependents in
addition to the fact of marriage ought
not to be abrogated." This leaves
the regulations as they are and the
supplementary statement is designed
merely to make the application of the
rules uniform.
While the statement regarding mar
ried men was in preparation orders
were issued changing entirely the
mobilization arrangements previously
made. Congestion of rail traffic and
the necessity of making better pro-
vision for receiving the men at the
cantonments dictated the changes.

SURRENDERED BECAUSE SHE
HAD NOT ANOTHER SHELL

An Atlantic Port.-The Standard
Oil tank steamer Campana, whose
captain and five of her navy gunners
were taken prisoners by a German
submarine on August sixth, surrender
ed to the U-boat, out only because she
had not another shot to fire. The
Campana's ammunition after firing
1870 shots, became exhausted.
This was the story told by J. H.
Bruce, third mate of the Campana,
who with forty other members of the
Campana's crew and eight gunners,
arrived here on a French steamship.
The battle began at 5 a. m. and was
waged for four hours at a range be-
tween 1900 and $500 yards.
The submarine fired 400 shots, only
two of which hit the mark. The Cam
pana nevertheless was outraged by
the two guns, one fourinch, the other
two-inch, with which the submarine
was armed. The U-boat also was full
ly as speedy as the American YES
sci.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT ASKS
THAT TWO BILLION BE AD-
DED TO TOTAL.
SEEKING LIBERAL MARGIN
Present Indications Are That $4,000
100000 Will Meet Expenses of Con-
fiict During First Year.-Extra
Amount is Wanted For Emergencies.

Washington.-Two billion dollars
may be added to the total of bonds to
be authorized at the present session
of Congress, making a total approx
mately $4,000, 900, 600 available to the
government during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1918.
Democratic Leader Kitchin said
that estimates submitted to him by
the treasury department made it ap-
pear that the additional authorization
probably would be necessary. Secre-
tary McAdoo will be asked to explain
the ways and means committee to dis
cuss the forthcoming administration
81, 53S, 945, 460 bond and certificate
bill.
Present Indications, according to
Mr.. Kitchin, are that $4,000, O00, 900
will meet the expenses of the fiscal
year, but it is thought best to have a
2 1000, 900 900 margin for emergen-
cies. He said this estimate covers
about $1,000, 900, 900 for loans to the
allies, So, 600, 900, 900 of which already
has been provided; $1,000, 900, 900 for
current expenses, exclusive of war,
leaving about $40, 900, OOO, 900 for war
expenses. Included in the wal esti-
mate is $176, 900 900 for the new in
surance bill and $1,000, 900 900 for the
shipping board.
Methods of Raising Money.
The $21, ooO, 900, 900 would be raised
as follows:
Bonds for allies loans 81, 600, O00,-
900; pending revenue bill 3 1000, 000,-
900; war certificates $4,000, O00, 900;
bonds for domestic purposes already
authorized $4,000, 600, 900; proposed
new bonds 1000, 600, 10000; war saw
ings certificates $4,000, 900, 900 and
regular revenue $1,000, 900, 900.
approximately $1,000, 900, 900 of
the foregoing amounts are included in
the bond and certificate bill which
the ways and means committee today
began to consider. The bill would
authorize $1,000, 600, 600 for allied
loans, $4,000, 600, 900 to be used in re-
funding 3 IL per cent bonds already
authorized; $4,000, 600, 900 in war GER
tificates and $4,000, 900, 900 in war
savings certificates. 1t also contains
a re-authorization provision for ST.
900, 900 900 in wal certificates and
would provide for taking over other
previously authorized bonds.

FIFTY-THREE CASES OF
PARALYSIS REPORTED

Richmond, Va.-Fifty-three cases of
~infantile paralysis have been reported
to the state health department during
August, according 10 figures secured
from DR.. Ennoid e.. Williams, state
health commissioner. During July
there were forty-eight cases, making a
total of 101 cases of the disease since
the outbreak of the epidemic in the
valley of Virginia. While the disease
has not been entirely confined to the
valley and northwestern part of the
state, it is believed by the health
authorities that the infection is radi-
ating from Rockingham, which has
taken the lead in number of cases.
