(De layed).—A conflict at the national conference between Premier Keren sky, backed by the moderate Social : ists and a majority of the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers' Delegates and Constitutional Democrats and other non-Socialist parties, the Mos cow Industrial group and that part of the army which stands for ruth less army discipline is approaching- The opposition to the premier looks to General Korniloff, the comman der-in-chief of the Russian army, as its champion. The line-up of the delegates to the conference is indi cated in interviews the Associated Press has had with members of all groups represented at the confer-J ence. At present the name of General i Korniloff is on every tongue, tils coming was awaited with something j akin to fear oy the extreme leit,' which still incites against discipline 1 in the army and with open exultation by the opposition group. The import of the demonstration is emphasized by the fact that not one member of I the cabinet was at the railway sta-' tion, but instead there was an im-l posing display by the military and civilian admirers of General Korut- j loiT. Savior of Russia During the morning General Kor nilofl's biography and his photo graphs were distributed free by the organizers of the demonstration. Olti cers went about the streets exhort ing veterans of the war and particu larly cavaliere of the Order of St. I George to go to the railway station,! explaining to them that duty con.-| pelled every patriotic man to sup-j port the "destined savior of Rus-j sia," from foreign defeat and inter nal disintegration. When General Korniloff alighted from the train soon after noon lie; was followed by a bodyguard of Terak Cossacks, gigantic Asiatics in I prune colored caftans, leather be-ts and vast shaggy sheepskin busbies. General Korniloff, who is of Cos sack parentage, resembles a Japan ese. He is below middle height and of medium size. He has small black eyes and a sparse tartar beard. His manner was grave and modest as he inspected the guard of honor. He spoke to some of the soldiers and each soldier threw a flower under his feet as he passed. Lacks Fighting Spirit Mayor Kudneff welcomed General Korniloff on behalf of the city of I Moscow. The mayor declared that! the general was not only the destined ; victor at the front but the savior of 1 Russia from ruin at home. As Gen- j eral Korniloff marched between lines | of soldiers toward M. Roditcheft, the officers drew their swords and the I and played the Marseillaise. Ad dressing the Russian commander, M. Roditcheft said: "Russia has all her army wants, supplies and a brilliant commander. I What she lacks is a fighting spirit in her soldiers. It is you, general, who i have the will and the means to re-| store that spirit." After kissing M. Roditcheff, Gen eral Korniloff made a brief speech, j roughly phrased, but impressive by its unpretentiousness. I.ooks For Victory "We expect from Moscow," Gen- j eral Korniloff said, "a message to j the army. That message, I hope,! will not in this grave crisis be of liberty and equality in the name of which, falsely interpreted, Russia"* i people have been driven oft the right track, but a message of victory mid order. For myself, at any sacrifice! I shall do all in my power to turnl that message into reality. I believe! in and I predict the resurrection of our army." As General Korniloff left the sta- f tion he was given a tremendous ova tion by the military and civilian population. The working classes, I however, were absent. I FIRST MEN FOR NEW NATIONAL ARMY WILL LEAVE HERE WITHIN WEEK | Pink Postcards Calling Five Per Cent, of Quota Into Military Service Will He! Mailed by Local Boards Soon. Within a week Dauphin county men i called in the draft will have received j notice to report to their respective' | local exemjftion boards for military j i duty and transportation to moblliza j tion camps. Each of the three boards | j has received a supply of pink post cards containing this call. J This was the first real indication' j that the Government is in readiness j | to handle the first five per cent, of the | j new National Army. September 5 has; t heen fixed as the day when the first j | Pauphin county men will leave, one i per cent, of the total iiuota for each | district leaving on that day, and one ! per cent, on each succeeding day for | four days. The next forty per cent, will leave September 19; forty peri cent. October 3, and the remaining men later. The draft boards prepared at once j to send the cards to the men wno will leave next week so that no delay will ensue when the Federal order goes out. The pink cards also conveyed a message of cheer to the local draft board members because they indi cated they would not have to "nurse" the drafted men as the original mo bilization instructions indicated. These , i set forth in detail that the boards must notify the men to appear at 1 ( their headquarters and must house , and feed them in the twenty-four | hour interval before their departure t on the train. , C'on Itenmln Over Night The postcard notice is realy a dou ble card.

Mr. Fmberger called attention | ' to the important work confronting [ * cities of the third class, including re- > planning of much territory, and the j v importance of a public educational campaign. He told of the tremen- i dous advantages which city councils j can work out by giving the people j * complete information of all impor- j j tant need 3 for city government. "Tell the people what you want I and get them to want it. If it's new j legislation and is needed, educate j ' them, and when they tell the legis- I E lators they want it, they will get it," j 1 he said in closing. Important Addresses Three important addresses were J made during the afternoon. The first j one was by Dr Carl Schaffle. medical j * inspector of State dispensaries, who } spoke on "The State Tuberculosis j 1 Dispensary an Asset to a Munici-! r pality." Members of the league l , showed much interest in the talk 1 1 because of the extensive work done e by the Stae Health Department In 1 handling tuberculosis in Penns.vl-1 \ania. City Engineer M. B. Cowden in his ! address on "Method of Street Pav-; ing and Assessments," made an ap- j peal for plain laws, easily under-1 stood, in place of conflicting acts of assembly which, he declared, it! takes years for court to interpret. J Millions For Paving Mr. Cowden gave statistics show ing that the city has spent almost i three millions for street paving and j curbing, of which the property own- ' 8 ers paid about $2,185,000. This in- * eludes charges against church, 1 schools and other organizations not chartered for profit, whose assess- v ments have been paid by the city oat \ r of loans and general revenue. ! a In speaking of the foot front rule i of street paving assessments he de- : 1 ciared that they can not be valid un- j less the plain mandate of the act I s expressed in the words, "Council t must provide for an equitable reduc-' * | c HARRISBURG SDFEJKG TELEGRAPH HOW MEN OF N ARMY WILL LEAVE FOR CAMP Following is the number of men from Dauphin and nearby coun • w U. wi " KO t0 'he National Army camps on tile dates set by the \\ar Department: County and District XO.

Policeman Is Killed by Demented Negro By Associated Press Chester, Pa., Aug. 28.—1n an en counter with a supposedly dement ed negro early to-day, William H. Padgett, a colored policeman, was shot and killed. John J. Wood, the man who ;s alleged to have killed Padgett, WAS found near the scene of the shooting with a bullet wound 'n the abdomen. He is in a critical condition. Few Are Called Into Serv ice on First Summons, but Full Complement Will be in Camp Meade Before Latter Part oi October by the local board during this pe riod. The card also contains several Items of interest to the drafted man and the board members, for it states sornt things that were clouded in doubt. I.BHt Call to Slnrkfrii One of these cards will be addressed to each man who failed to appear for a physical examination, and who has been certified foy military service by his local boord and approved by the district hoard. It will be the last official notice the Government Intends to send to slackers. Local draft boards are working on the theory the Federal authorities will require them to furnish a man for every man demanded by the quota allotted to them, and that while these slackers are supposed to count on the quota they wili not be so considered until they are actually in the hands of the military authorities. In order to take no chances of further delay many boards are calling more men for examination than are needed to fill their quotas, but they will thus be able to expeditiously supply any demands made upon them. The local boards here are entering now on the fourth week of their work. It is expected that within the next two weeks all the physical ex aminations necessary to the filling of the county's quota for the first call will have been made. This will mako it possible for all exemption claims and appeals to be disposed of by the end of next month, by which time the final number of men to be sent to the encampments will be ordered to the mobilization points.
