Korniloff Offers
To Surrender and
Rebellion Fizzles
(Continued from rase Oat.)
Petrograd which remains solid for
General Korniloff. They are now at
Tsarskoe-Selo, and up to yesterday
afternoon it was feared force would
have to be applied to them, but it
now seems the situation has cleared.
It appears that the "savage" di
vision, though devoted to General
Korniloff, had no idea of their des
tinatin or his ayrj. The division con
sists of eight regiments of fierce Cau
casus cavalry recruited almost ex
clusively from the tribes of Ingushes,
Kabardintsi and Ossetinians and con
tains a few Tartars.
Almost all are Mohammedans and
among them are many princes. Some
are wholly uneducated. Their com
mander is General Ragration.
The submission of the "savage'' di
vision was brought about through the
devotion of a group of their co-religionists
to the provisional government.
The tribesmen do not speak Russian.
They suspect and dread Christians
and when apf.roached by the govern
ment's Russian emissaries refused to
listen to them and threatened them
with arrest.
"Savage" Troops in Petrograd.
A Mohammedan Tartar artillery of
ficer, General Kugusheff, with other
Moslem officers, who are loyal to the
government, yesterday went to meet
them and was well received. They
have returned and are now at the
Petrograd staff office. The Associat
ed Press Interviewed General Kugu
sheff, a small, swarthy, picturesque
Asiatic, whose head was bandaged
from a wound and who wore an ordi
nary Russian uniform. The general
said:
"The Caucasians declared they ab
solutely refused to surrender and
come to Petrograd for fear the Bol
sheviki would massacre them. But
they were willing to abandon resist
ance on condition they were sent
home to the Caucasus front, where,
however, they must not be employed
against their co-religiohists the
Turks.
"After prolonged negotiations we
agreed to recommend this solution to
Premier Kerensky and returned to
Petrograd. The premier has now
promised us that the 'savage' divi
sion will be unpunished and will be
sent home to the Caucasus and be ab
solved from service against the Turks.
I consider their submission assured."

Council of Defense Reports
Sufficient Seed Wheat
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 13. (Special.)
Publicity given by the newspapers has
been responsible to a great extent for
the bringing about of a condition re
garding seed wheat which has en
abled the State Council of Defense to
obtain sufficient wheat for seed to
cover the emergency, according to
Vice-Chairman Coupland pf the de
fense board.
Offers are being received daily by
men who have wheat in their poses
sion offering to put in on the market
for seed purposes as low as $2.25 per
bushel. This will enable farmers to
get all the wheat they want. It will
be Nebraska seed, most of it coming

mid a pretext to treat Sweden as a J
masked enemy power. j
In the latter case the Aftonbladet j
is quoted as saying the moment was
judiciously chosen, as Sweden was
actually negotiating with the United
States, where efforts were being made
artificially to create difficulties in or
der to obtain greater concessions.
while the government was satisfying
itself as to the accuracy of the ex
posures made at Washington, the pub
lic, despite the gravity of the accusa
tions, responded to the appeals of
government officials and the news
papers by refraining from apy ..anti
German demands.. -

to be the same as the official state
ment issued at Stockholm earlier in
the week, which declared the intrigu
ing nature of the dispatches was un
known to Sweden. ,
Baron Akerheilm, charge of the
Swedish legation here, today in
formed Secretary Lansing he had re
ceived the statement of the Stock-,
holm foreign office already published
here on the passage of Count Lux
burg's dispatches through the lega
tion at Buenos Aires, but that as the
department already was in possession
of that information, he did not con
sider it necessary to present it for
mally. Examination of the already pub
lished statement reveals some inac
curacy. The Swedish foreign office
says it acted in a simila'r way for the
United States and its minister in
Turkey.
"The American minister here," said
the Swedish statement, "during the
present year asked for and received
leave to send to and from Turkey
letters and telegrams at a time when
Turkey had not yet gone to war with
the United States and its interests
had not yet been taken over by the
Swedish representative in Constan
tinople." What Record Shows.
Records at the State department
show that Minister Nelson Morris to
Sweden has reported that the Swed
ish government had not been re
quested to transmit any messages be
fore April 10, but that he had inquired
if the Swedish government would be
willing to assume charge of American
interests in Turkey in case of a rup
ture. The Swedish government's agree
ment to forward messages required
the United States to present them to
the foreign office in Stockholm, or
to the Swedish legation in Constant
inople, in French, and there to be
put into Swedish cipher for trans
mission! Regarding the forwarding of letters
to or from Turkey Mr. Morris has in
formed the department he did not
ask such permission until some time
in July, twelve weeks after Sweden
had taken over American interests
in Turkey. He said that in making
the request he made it clear that such
letters and replies be forwarded only
with the knowledge and approval of
the Turkish government.
