EUSS GOVERNMENT REPORTS
REBEL ARMY'S RETREAT
IS CUT OFF
ALL STATEMENTS B PREMIER
Kerensky Takes Supreme Command
of All Military Forces Iron
Hand Will Rule Land.
Petrograd. Sept. 12. Premier Ker-
ensky, in assuming supreme com
mand of all the Russian armies, said
the "senseless effort at military mu
tiny by the late commander-in-chief
r.nd a small group - generals lias
ended in complete failure. The muti
neers will be delivered to the revo
lutionary military ..tribunal."
An understanding has been reach
ed for the co-operation of Kerensky
as provisional commander and Grand
Duke Alexis as chief of general staff.
While optimism seeYns to prevail
in the provisional government in
Russia that a successful issue of the
counter-revolution started by Gen
oral Korniloff will be returned in
favor of Premier Kerensky, the sit
uation still remains most acute. All
the dispatches from Petrograd at
present are emanating from the pro
visional government or supporters of
Kerensky.
Late reports from Petrograd are
to the effect that Korniloff's march
on Petrograd has been checked and
that even his retreat has been cut
oft' by forces faithful Uo the provis
ional government, also that there
have been further deductions from
the ranks of Korniloff and that a
great majority of the commanders
at the front are still adhering to the
government.
Spreads to Moscow.
Meanwhile the spirit of unrest
seems to ha've invaded Moscow, where
martial law has been declared and
government forces are maintaining
order.
One of the brightest spots in th
situation is the offer to the central
committee of the constitutional dem
ocratic party to aid in the recon
struction of the cabinet so as to
avoid civil war.
Petrograd, Sept. 12th. Premier
Kerensky has assumed the position
of commander-in-chief of all the Rus
sian armies until the revolt has been
crushed, according to information
received.
Vice-President Nekrasoff said the
situation could be considered perfect
ly favorable. All the commanderr;,
with the exception of General Deni
kine, commander on the western
front, who has been arrested, re
main faithful to the government.
Pskoff is held by government troops.
M. Nekrasoff asserted that it was
the opinion of the government that
the troops which form the detach
ment commanded by General Korni
loff, were misled, being told that
they were to proceed to Petrograd to
rid the capital of the Maximalist ele
ment. CEMETERY.

Dear Wilbur:
This is another letter to a boy so
far away from home, across the
ocean in a land of war dismay.
I am glad you Joined the army,
though I'd rather have you here, but
its best to help ones country when
his country needs him worst; and as
soon as I am old enough, I want to
be the first.
I have tried to join the navy, and
Though I guess I'll have to wait.
As soon as I am old enough,
I ifuess I'll bite the bait.
Hurrah! for our old country.
The country best of all!
Hurrah! for our grand old flag.
The flag that cannot fall.
I wtis just thinking about the
Time when I was small.
Of how you used to help me.
And I used to stand and squall.
I'd like to hear your bugle.
And to hear you make a call,
I'd like to see you make a shot,
And knock the Kaiser off the wall.
With love to you dear brother,
I guess that this will do.
Hurrah! for the little bugler.
And the red, white and blue.
Write soon, as ever,
Your brother,
LEO P. THOMAS.

SHOULD BE PUNISHED.
We wonder what the Lord is go
ing to do with men whom he has
blessed with abundant crops and
who, when they are approached to
give to such worthy cause as the
Red Cross, an institution that stand
for mercy, refuse to give a cent. We
have men in this community, who
have thousands of bushels of wheat
and oats and excellent prospects for
corn and are receiving the highest
prices in the history of the country
and yet after being blessed so abund
antly they refuse to contribute u
single cent to comfort our soldier
boys who are going to the front to
defend the nation they are reaping
such blessings from. We hope that
when these old spongers pass away,
that the preacher, who preaches
their funral will tell the congrega
tion that "here lies an old tight wad
who refnused to give aid and com
fort to the dying boys on the battle
field, after the Lord has blessied him
with abundance." Sherman County
Times.
rot-
Regent llaller's silence since he
has been branded a copperhead and
charged with writing treasonable
letters under a petticoat name, is
practically an admission of his guilt.
If Haller thinks by his staying out
of the state a couple of months this
wave of hatred will die out, he is
greatly mistaken, his act of running
away has only strengthened the net
about him which is, as he well
knows, one out of which he cannot
escape.
