of reunited independent
republic OF Russia and the democracy
of the world may prepare to welcome
her
kerensky as Leader.

kerehSky as Ieauer.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Keren-
| sky, one-time hero OF the Russian
revolution, is being groomed as the
possible leader to drive out the Boil
sheyiki and re-establish his country,
it was indicated today. He is about
| to go to Archangel, it is learned au-
thoritatively, to throw his weight with
the new government Of the northern
province. Observers in some quar-
tiers expect an attempt to extend this
government under Kerensky's leader
ship to all of Russia.
! 1t is doubtful, however, just how
allied governments would take to ke-
rensky as the new Russian leader,
although some groups in France, Brit
ain and America are working in his
| favor.
Kerensky recently planned to come
| to America to enlist President VIII
sons aid in restoring Russia, but prep
arations of the allies made this I'M
necessary, Russian officials here said
today.
Reports charging Kerensky with be-
ing pro-German. Bolshevik and
friend Of Lenine and Trotsky, were
stoutly denied by Russians here to-
day. The declare Kerensky is trying
to help build the anti-Bolsheyik gov
eminent in northern Russia which is
expected to replace the entire Lenlne
regime in Russia.
The latest proclamation Of this gov
| eminent was received with interest
+! in diplomatic quarters. Coming at the
time when Lenine appears about to
totter finally and along with reports
| that Kerensky plans to go to Arch
angel, this proclamation gave hope
that at least stable government In
Russia IS in sight. Some of keren-
sky's friends are members OF this new
government, 1t is rumored, and 1t is
along the conservative democratic
lines which Kerensky himself tried
| to carry out under the constitutional
assembly.
| Just who is chief leader in the new
! Archangel government is not yet clear
! but NJ. Zuboff, assistant mayor OF the
city of Vologda. and one OF the sigh
| ers of the new government procla-
nation has been mentioned before
this to the American government as
strong man.
Whether the growing strength OF
the new party has forced Trotsky and
Lenine. Bolshevist leaders, to flee, as
reported, is not known here. But even
If they have fled, 1T is considered I'M
important as regards the future of the
Bolshevist movement. There Is a
strong superstition in official circles
that these two are not really the lead
ers of the Bolsheyist at all and while
they have continued to pose as such
leaders, their only real function for
some time has been that Of German
agents.
Their departure would not kill or
even seriously disorganize the Boil
shevih, officials here think.

Warning by Wireless.
AN ATLANTIC PORT, Aug. 10
Passengers arriving here today
aboard a British steamer reports
their vessel received a wireless yes
terday afternoon, apparently from a
United States patrol boat, stating
that a U boat had been sighted off
Fire island on the New York coast
and that other patrol boats were
pursuing it.
Another wireless, received at four
O'Clock this morning from an uniden-
titled Danish steamer, it declared to
have stated that the steamer had
been attacked by submarine off Nan
tucket island and was sinking.
The British steamer left England
with a convoy, but became separated
from the other craft in a fog the first
day out and made the rest of the
voyage alone.
Twenty-Five Miles Out.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 The
navy department issued the following
statement on the sinking Of the Som
erstad
The navy department is informed
that the Norwegian steamer Somer-
stad was sunk at 8:15 a. m. yester-
day, Aug. II, twenty-five miles south
east by east from Fire island. The
captain and thirty members of the
crew were rescued and have reached
port. There were no casualties.
Captain Hansen reports that he
saw the wake of torpedo; the en-
gines were reversed avoiding the tor
pedo which was seen to go under the
bow of the vessel. The ship was
drawing only seven feet of water,
and the torpedo continued on its
course. The captain ordered full
speed ahead. The torpedo, he states,
turned sharply to the left and return
ed, hitting the vessel between the
third and fourth holds, on the port
side. In five minutes after being
struck, the whole deck amidships was
awash, and the crew left the ship.
The ship, they state, was standing
directly up and down with the bow in
the water, about fourteen feet being
visible

Maryland, last Tuesday noon The
dissimilarity of names, comes about
from the fact that when very young,
both were placed in chiIdren's home
owing to the death of their mother,
and each took the name of the family
by whom they were afterward brought
up. Mr.. Burke was unfortunate
when young man in the loss of both
of his feet This misfortune came
about from having lost his way in
the woods in the winter time, the
limbs freezing so as to make am
putation below the knee necessary. 1t
was one of the first cases in which,
the then much regulated stovane, was
used. This substance was injected
into the spinal column making 1t
possible to operate on the lower
limbs, while the patient was other
wise fully conscious. Mr.. Burke
tells a very interesting story of how
he sat and watcher the doctors in
their work of removing his lower ex-
tremities. The accident and the am
putation occurred in Canada. One
OF the doctors Is now head surgeon
in the Canadian Army in France
