M.—After being received by Premier Kerensky at the Winter Palace and in formed of the fate which awaited him, General Kruimoff, commander of the Korniloff troops which were sent against Petrograd, returned to his lodgings to-night and shot himself. wounds were not fatal. Petrograd, Sept. 14. —Although the revolt can be considered >rmally ended only after the announcement that General jjCorni >ff, its leader, has actually surrendered, the capital and country Iready show signs of recovering their composure and are attempt ig a new process of reconstruction. The provisional govcrn icnt actively is taking necessary measures to restore the intcr lpted economic and social life and although the fundamental ifficuities which inspired General Korniloffs adventure remain, □pes arc expressed that the cabinet, which is now under recon duction will in future show greater vigor and decision. Last night the director of communications, M. Liverovsky, was iile to announce that railroad communication had been restored n the Warsaw, Moscow-Windau and other interrupted lines •hich all to-day resumed the transport of freight. Peti'ograd Caliu Petrograd has entirely recovered s calm, a remarkable effect of the ippression of the revolt beihg that le panicky rush from the capital lused by the fall of the Baltic port ; Riga has ceased and the railroad ations have recovered their nor- ial appearance. On tire bourse, here only private deals are trans ited. there was a sharp rise in ■eurities. From Moscow it is reported that ;fugees have begun returning to etrograd. Doubtful elements in ie provinces, who certainly would ave backed General Korniloff had b succeeded in his revolt, are pass ig resolutions in support of the pro isional government and in condem ition of the revolt. Forming New Cabinet The new cabinet is rapidly pro ressing toward completion, though •iction again has arisen between the onstitutional Democrats and the So alists. The Constitutional Demo •ats at a meeting last night an ounced to Premier Kercnsky that ie government must take a lesson om the Korniloff revolt by remov ig the causes and not repeating the iiatakes which caused it. Other ise, they said, General Korniloff's Iventure would be repeated by imcone else. The revolt, declared the Consti itional Democrats, undoubtedly was ie fruit of extreme dissatisfaction cisting in the more conservative asses. Therefore the government lust render reasonable satisfaction i the conservative demands and re st any pressure to move it toward ie left.

PEACE ONLY BY THE SWORD, TEUTON BOAST Germany Will Never Give Up Riga, Says Reichstag Leader By Associated I'rcss Amsterdam, Sept. 14.—"Only fools believe we shall ever give up Riga," explained Dr. Gustav Strcsemann, national Liberal member of the Reichstag, in addressing the National Liberty meeting in Berlin yester day. Dr. Stresemann made a further at tack upon President Wilson's reply to Pope Benedict's peace note, lie took up the different points succes sively and defended German mili tarism as a necessity on the ground of the empire's geographical posi tion. Peace, said Dr. Stresemann, had not been brought near by the deci •sion of the Reichstag majority, re corded in the adoption of its reso lution. The sword alone could bring peace, he declared. The Furor Teutonious should not be wasted on internal matters but should be di rected at the foe outside, he' argued. The meeting which repeatedly greeted Dr. Stresemann's militant utterances with loud applause, tele graphed to Emperor William a mes sage similar to those that have re cents been sent after such meetings.

HARRISBURG, PA., FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER f4, 1917 DRAFT TAKING MANY HELPERS FROM FARMERS Fear Crops Will Suffer; Dau phin Boards Have First Units Nearly Ready NEARLY READY TO (JO Three County Boards in Good Shape For Departure Wed nesday and Thursday The farmers of Dauphin county and all the other districts that come under the jurisdiction of the Middle Judicial District Appeal Board are very much alarmed over th.e outcome of the drafting of farmers' sons and help. If the outcome is to be judged by the information that was received at the headquarters of the appeal board this morning, the farmers are going to be left in bad shape if the ex emption board does not alleviate matters.

Sept. 14.—Accidental discovery that wire nails in a con signment for Sweden were covered with lead caps caused the custom au thorities to-day to hold up a ship ment of 800 cases of the nails.

The cases have been standing on a dock for about three weeks. The investigation will seek to determine whether the lead was placed on the nails ft s a subterfuge to get needed war material to Germany or whether it was there for some legitimate pur pose.
