PETROGRAD, Sept. 10.
u A state of war was proclaimed in Petrograd today as preparations were
J begun for the partial civil evacuation of the capital.
i' Premier Kcrcnsky in a proclamation announced the dismissal of General
fvKorniloff as commander in chief of the Russian armies. General Klembovsky
.'was named in his place.
The proclamation revealed a plot by Korniloff to assume control of the
iGovernment.
k- Kerensky demanded that Korniloff not only resign, but that he quit the
Bussian army at once.
1 Klembovsky will act as "provisional commander in chief," it was announced.
Kerensky's proclamation of a state of war in the capital was made neces
flory by adoption of stringent new regulations for the public order.
t Lack of adequate arrangements for provisioning the city, the general
.'(unrest felt over the Germans' success at Rigr., the enemy's plans, for advance
on Pctrograd and a redoubled campaign by German propagandists have all
insulted in great tension in the Russian capital. There have been numerous
wplosions in munitions factories. Special guards were put over all such plants
tftoday and drastic regulations announced for all industries.
: ' AH members of the Cabinet arc now at army headquarters in conference
;it)ver the military situation.

ANNOUNCED BY CROZIER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.
PIniih have been mndo by the War Depart
ment to Fpcnil a large part of a $:'3,000,000
appropriation fur military storage ware
houses on the Delaware river near Phila
delphia. Aci'ordlng lo an official statement made
today by Brigadier General William Crozler,
Chief nf the Hurra vi of Ordnance, three
pliu-CH have been selected along the Atlantic
coast for tho storage of vast quantities of
war supplies prior to their i-hlpment to
llurope us needed. The Delaware, Itarllati
river. New Jersey and Chesapeake bay, arc
tlie.thrco waterways favored.
While a total of JJ5.000.000 Is to be
spent on theao storage fuc'lltles, which will
cover an aggregate area of 400 acres, It Is
planned to spend but $10,000,000 during
this fiscal year. The Jl, 800,000,000 urgent
deficiency bill, which was reported to the
House by tho Appropriations Committee
late last week, carries an Item for new

In discussing officially the $25,000,000
sum with member of tho Appropriations
Committee, General Crojler said:
"11,1s Intended to coter the terminal
storage and. shipping places for the accumu
lation of arms, ammunition nnd other ord
nance stores for shipment to Kurope, solely
on condition of this present war. TJie
nniount of that kind of material which tho
Ordnance Department Is contemplating nnd
which gives rise to this estimate, Is that
necessary for the maintenance In Europe
ot an army of about 1.000,000 .men.
"The stores that will be necesaary for
that army' will bo produced all over the
I country, particularly all over the northern

"The Cerinnn advance will be quicker
the sooner the obstacles of war arc re

as to tiermauy's democratization. Tha

at the head ot a special committee charged
by the Kaiser with Investigating Germany's

of mutual understanding. His lntcnlcw
was granted the United Pres:i after de
