"They are a vicious lot." said a British,
officer. "They stabbed the first lot of dum-'
jnles to pieces. Every man Is deadly In
earnest. They seem to think they aro
tackling the Germans already."
Following a bayonet charge the men
leap Into practice trenches and open flro
against Jam cans set on sticks within
easy range. This Is to train them to quick
and accurate firing while "winded" from
running.
Other squads under British Instructors
pair off and practice with "blob sticks."
These sticks have a knob on one end and
a ring on the other. The stick Is whirled
about and a man with a fixed bayonet
tries to thrust through the ring. This la
to train the eye In accuracy.
The training Is progressing rapidly under
the instruction of the French and British
teachers. Tho American ofllcers all agrca
that the bayonet work and tho recreative
games behind the front have dono the men,
much good and put new "pep" In them.

Slav Cabinet Split
on Korniloff'8 Fate
Continued from re One
came know here today advance forces of
Kornlloft's revolting troops and patrols of
the Government regiments fraternized out
of Petrograd. This was the beginning of
the complete disintegration of the rebels
forces.
ALEXIEFF INVESTIGATING
General Alexleff, new commander-in-chief,
was at main Russian army headquarters to
day. A special Goernment commission was
with him. Investigating all of Kornlloff'B
activities prior to his revolt.
General Ruisky was named commander
on the north front, succeeding General
Klembovsky. and General Ootnlaoff suc
ceeded Dcnlklne on the southwestern front.
Denlklne has been arrested and will bo held
to answer a treason charge.
Klembovsky must explain several of his
actlqns during the short-lived rebellion.
Tho Government has already demanded of
him why he permitted Kornlloff's rebel de
tachments to pass toward Petrograd. To
this he replied noncommlttally, requesting
that he bo relieved of his command.
Privately Klembovsky was quoted as de
claring he had asked Kornlloff to send
tvv elve cavalry divisions -to aid In the Riga
defense, and that headquarters had refused,
preferring to send one of these against
Petrograd, in the revolt then forming.
KORNILOFF GUESSED
WRONG AND LOST
I
u
V
LONDON. Sept. 14.
General Kornlloff played and lost be
cause he misjudged Russia's economic dif
ficulties as a political crisis, according to
observers here.
All reports received here Indicate that the
rebel general either possessed, or nt least
only utilized, a, very small force In his ad
vance on Petrograd. Possibly he diverted
other rebellious troops to guard the fighting
fronts.
But the smallness of his force sent to
take the capital was evidence that he mis
understood the Cabinet crisis then beginning
to appear. Apparently Kornllon thought
Kerensky was tottering and that a new
leader, pledged to drastic steps like hlm
eelf. would sweep Into power.
What happened wa3 that Kerensky ral
lied his supporters instantly. Various fac
tions forgot their differences. The Cabinet
held harmoniously together In the face of
the revolt.

which may arise out of tho war
He did not como to negotiate private
credits or loans, and will not talto up such
matters utiles occasion arises during his
stay here, he said today
"Thoro Is quite a mistaken Impression
that I have come here for thu purpose of
negotiating private credits, or loans," Lord
Heading said. "The reason for my visit Is
that owing to the numberless matters aris
ing out of tho war the British Government
thought it desirable that opportunity
should bo given of affording Information
at first hand to the American Government
by some onu who has been In close rela
tion with tho British Government since
our country entered the war
"With this object In view they Invited
me to proceed- here on a special inli-slon
as representative of the British Govern
ment nnd more particularly In connection
with tho many questions of finance which
must arise In a. war of this magnitude.
"I nm Indeed glad and feel highly hon

was that I should come heie on this mis
sion." The members of the mission expect to
remain In Washington six or eight weeks
and have taken offices nenr the British
Embassy. I'art of tho time will bo spent
In New York, It was stated, and a visit
to Chicago and other western financial cen
ters may be made
Contrary to reports, the Reading visit Is

going to be cheaper. This was learned olll

the "Hooverized" loaf has not yet been
finally determined.
The master bakers' emergency war coun

A system of saving Is being worked out
through economies In flour, sugar, milk, de.

the emergency council Is en route to Chi

plans for controlling millers and eliminating
wheat speculation
The first "Hoover loaf" fourteen ounces

BIG VOLUME OF WHEAT
IN NEXT TWO WEEKS
U. S. Grain Corporation An
nounces Abundance Ready
for Millers
NKW YORK Sept 14.
Within two weeks there will be so much
wheat available for Hour milling that tho
big Noithwcstern mills In Minneapolis nnd
other cities will not be able to h.mdln It all.
This was predicted today at headquarters
!mr- of the I'nltrd States Food Adminis
tration's Grain Correlation Tho wheat
shortage In tho Buffalo, N. Y. mills has
nlrendy been relieved, it was declared
Tho T'nlted States Grain Corporation,
with central ollkvs in New York, Is the
Fedcial Government's orgnnlrntlnn for con
trolling tho wheat situation. It Is In close
touch with wheat conditions all over the
world
An ollkial of this organization stated to
day that some Minneapolis mills are run
ning on about DO per cent capacity now
because the farmers sale of their crops at
minimum price assured aro not In any
rush to move the wheat to niaiket With
the prevailing good weather tho farmers
aro busy preparing the land for next cat's
crop, it was said. It was pointed out that
farmers see no advantage in hustling their
crops to market, as they can go to the
banks any time nnd get money on their
wheat on the baUs of u minimum price
which stands until July 1, 1918.
However, tho Grain Corporation official
said, thero will be no further slackening of
milling operations In Minneapolis and else
where. The next movo will be to Increase
the capacities; of theso mills to handle the
great flow of wheat which Is suro to begin
anlvlng within a fortnight. Wheat ship
ments to the Allies are nil t-o carefully icgu
lated that they will not affect Amei lea's
bread supply
In view of the fact that there Is an ex
traordinarily big crnp of wheat available,
danger of a bread famine Is negligible the
official said.
Ho emphasized the statement that under
present conditions the farmers nie satisfied
with the minimum wheat price fixed by the
Government, as they ara making no cffoit
to rush their crops to tho mills during tho
present slight shortage In an effort to get
a higher price

Captain "Tex" Ritchie, of tho Texns
RaiiRcrs, soldier of fortune and vetrnn
ot eight revolutions, In Ralnlns recruits for

"Tex" started his entertalnmont by
breaking a board three-quarters of nn inch
thick across his head, nnd then Bmnshed
tho pieces over his neck. Tho crowd was
dumfounded.
Taking a piece of lead pipe nearly an

nnd then stialghtcncd It out by bending it

"IIo must cat rocks," gasped a man in

"Are you the biggest man In Texas?" In

"Oh, no. Why down homo they call mo

A spike about six Inches long was driven
thinugh a, telephone book with his hand
with k much forco that it almost split a

In his address tho Texan explained he ar
rived In Philadelphia from Baltlmoro last
Thursday and vvns surprised to learn that
this city, the Cratllo of Liberty, had such
things as Socialists, pro-Germans and I. W.

"Our object In this war Is not only to
finish the Knlscr, but to furnish the world
with liberty and freedom," ho said. "After
1918 tho countries of tho world who aro

"What If tho Germans arc In Riga? So
much the better; wo can mow them then,

the Kaiser's submarines stop It? UecaU'o
they nie afraid of our fleet, that's why.
