PLATTSMOUTH BOYS ABOARD
From Thursday's Daily.

papers at Omaha and elsewhere have
been conjecturing at the possible
ccident which may have befel an
American transport carrying a part
of the Rainbow division from Minne-
ola, L. I., after several days .at sea,
causing it to turn back. It is be-
ieved by some that the vessel Was
torpedoed, thus being unable to com
plete its journey with safety, al
though this scarcely seems possible,
in view of the fact that the govern
ment in return for a voluntary cen-
sorchip of troop movements on the
part of newspapers over the coun
try, has promised to report prompt
ly any casualties or serious accidents
occurring in the service". There were
in the 168th Iowa, which was the
division believed to have been aboard
the ship, five boys from this city and
the possible fate which may have be
fell the ship is a matter of concern
to their relatives aid friends here
The boys in this regiment were Ed
die Ripple, Ralph Lair, Tex Wilson,
George Kearnes and Earl Murray.
Are Safe.
Relatives in the city have received
telegrams stating that the 3rd Iowa
Regiment had arrived safely at

ment and relatives and friends will
be pleased to learn of their bein
safe.

SAYS RUSSIA HAS
NOT QUIT THE WAR
SEC. LANSING SAYS KERENSKY
INTERVIEW DOESN'T MEAN
RUSSIA IS THROUGH.
Washington, Xov. 2. Secretary
Lansing today authorized the state
ment that neither on the basis of
many official advices to the govern
ment, nor on the basis of Premier
Kerensky's statement could it be said
that Russia was about to quit the
war.
Secretary Linsing, deploring any
interpretation of Kerensky's state
ment to the effect that Russia was
out of the war, assailed the Wash
ington Post, which printed over a
brief and preminary account of Ker
ensky's statement the headlines.
"Russia Quits War." He authorized
this statement.
"There has been absolutely noth
ing in the dispatches received by
the department of state from Rus
sia, nor in information derived from
any other source whatever, to justi
fy 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 the
paper published only an abbreviated
and preliminary account itself shows
that the headline is entirely unwar
ranted. Our own advices show that
the provisional government in Petro
grad is attacking with great energy
the problems confronting it. Re
ports received from Petrograd both
by mail and by telegraph show that
Premier Kerensky, far from yielding
to discouragement, are still animat
ed by a strong determination to or
ganize all Russia's resources in
wholehearted resistance and carry
the war through to a victorious com
pletion. At the same time this gov
ernment, like those of the allies, is
rendering all possible assistance."

SOMEWHAT OF A HARDSHIP.
From .Salurda y's Daily.
. The naturalization laws are so
framed that one applying for his sec

two witnesses who have known him
for five consecutive years, and that
have seen and met the applicant as
often as once in each ixs months of
the period. Rev. T. A. Truscott of
the Methodist church in this city
had taken out his first papers over
nve years ago, and on making ap
plication for the second, he was con
fronted with the matter of having
witnesses who have known him for
the past five years as per the re
quirements of the law. While he has
live in Schuyler for three years be
fore coming to this city. He could
not get a witness from there which
had known him for five years for he
has not been there since leaving and
no one has known him here for that
length of time. He has written the
Immigration agent of the Govern
ment at St. Louis regarding the
matter, but to no effect.
Rev. Truscott wishes to become a
full-fledged American citizen but
cannot.
