"Oa. September 8 a member of the
Duma, M. Lvoff, arrived at Petro

The authenticity of this summons
was afterwards confirmed bv General
Korniloff himself, who had a converJ
sation with tot over the direct tele
graphle wire between Petrograd and
main headquarters. " !. .V. '
"Considering this summons address

ernment as an attempt by certain
quarters to proffr by the difficult situ
ation of' the country and establish a
state of things contrary to the con
quest of; the revolution, the 'pro

NEGRO TROOPS TO BE
IN SEPARATE UNITS
Will Be Given Opportunity to
Volunter for Special
Service With the
Army.
Washington, Sept 10. Negro
troops of the national army will be
organized in separate units as is done
in the regular army, and as hr as
possible will be trained in the states
where they are raised. The call for
negroes to mobilize at their camps
will be postponed to allow officers at
the camp to arrange for the organiza
tion of these separate units.
Both white and negro men of the
selective fqrees will be given an op
portunity to volunteer to battalions
for service on the line of communica
tion, their work' being military but
not Combatant There also will be,
however, negro fighting regiments of
the national army, as there are of the
regulars and the National Guard.
70,000 Negroes Called.
Of the 687.000 men called for as the
first increment of the national army,
it is. estimated 'that anoroximatelv
70,000 will be negroes.
in all, the army in France will need,
it nas peen estimated, more than
100,000 men behind the lines for use
along the roads and railways or on
other special work. A great many
battalions of both white and negro
troops will be necessary for those
purposes and the War department
feels certain that many of the negroes
of the selective lraft forces will vol
unteer for,:this duty, tn ordex to be
sent quickly to France.
