Disguised as Sailor
Leader Flees to Escape
Arrest by Own Officers
By Associated Press
Petrograd. Nov. 17.—General Duk
honin has assumed temporarily the
. post of commander-in-chief or the
Kerensky forces following the dis
appearance of Premier Kerensky
who is reported to have fled disguised
as a sailor.
Premier Kerensky when told his
officers were against him and the
men v.ere at the point of deserting,
agreed to come to Petrograd, but
while a guard was being arranged he
disappeared.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon I
called the quarters of the comman
k|i er-in-chief, said General Krasnoff.
~'He appeared nervous and excited.
Claims Betrayal
" 'General,' said he, 'you have be
trayed me. Your Cossacks say they
will arrest me and give me up to
the sailors.'
"'Yes, I answered, 'such a discus
sion is now going on. There appears
to be little sympathy for you.'
"'Do the officers feel the same
way?' he asked.
" 'Ves.'
"'What shall I do? Will I have
to commit suicide?'
" 'lf you are an honest man you
will go to Petrograd under a white
flag and appear before the revolu
tionary committee, where you will
negotiate as head of the govern
ment.'
Disguised as Sailor
"Kerensky agreed to this and he
was promised a guard. He objected
to a guard of sailors on the ground
that some enemies were among them.
He wanted to wait until night but
Anally agreed to make the trip bvi
daylight. I went and called Colonel l
Kishkoff. of the Tenth Don Cossarksi
and ordered him to appoint a guard
of eight men. A half hour later
the Cossacks told me that Keren-I
sky could not be found. I raised the!
alarm thinking that he could not!
have left Gatcliina."
M. Bibenko, member of the com- ■
mittee on war and marine, has re-1
ported to the Workmen's and Sol
diers' Congress that Kerenskv fled 1
garbed as a sailor. Before Keren-!
sky's flight. Bibenko said he talked to
the Cossacks and found they were'
willing to come to an agreement
with the Maximalists, only the offi- 1
cers being opposed. He said that he 1
had promised the Cossacks that they
would be released and possibly be
allowed to retain their mounts and
guns and to return to the Don re- j
gion.
Bibenko denied that Michael Tto
manoff, the former Grand Duke
Michael Alexanderovitch, was with
Kerensky. He denied also that Gen- J
eral Korniloff had escaped from
prison.

No Enthusiasm For

By Associated Press
; London. Nov. IT. Nowhere
throughout a journey from the Cau
casus to Petrograd. did a correspond-
I ent of the Daily Telegraph hear a
J word of sympathy for Premier I" r
i ensky The educated passengers he
met, he says in a dispatch sent from
' Petrograd Monday, were infuriated
at Kerensky's laxity in permitting
the Bolsheviki agithtion and soldi rs
were ;indignant that the Premier
i was unable to maintain authority
'and order. Railway men. the corre
spondent adds, said that Kerenskv
and I.enine and Trotzky. the Rolshe
viki leaders, all ought to be thrown
into the Neva.
! For the provisional government
nowhere was there a spark of en
; thusiasm. he adds, as it was felt to
j have deserved its fate. Everywhere,
j however, the correspondent found a
longing for real order and real au
thority and for somebody who would
i save Russia from trouble.

Maximalist Revolt
By Associated Press
Petrograd. Wednesday, Nov. 14.
The battle in which Premier Ker
ensky was defeated began last Sat
urday and continued until Monday
night, according to the commander
in-chief or the Bolsheviki staff.
The Premier had five thousand
Cossacks and several hundred mili
tary cadets with considerable artil
lery. The Maxamilist force included
four guard regiments, several bat- j
talions of sailors and numerous de- |
tachments of the Red Guard.
Many of the Bolsheviki
were wour\ded and a few were killed.
The Cossacks in Kerensky's force
once attempted a charge near
Tsarskoe-Selo, but suffered heavy
losses, after which they retired into
the town. The Maximalists now hold
Tsarskoe-Selo.
The correspondent of the Associ
ated Press visited the scene of the
fighting to-day and was surprised to
find aristocratic officers command
ing the Bolsheviki. One of them who
was a explained they were

RAUNICK WARNS
AGAINST TIPPING
ASH COLLECTORS
City Health Officer Asks That
Householders Aid in Clean
ing Up the City
Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, city health
officer, to-day declared that unless
householders stop giving tips to em
ployes of the Pennsylvania Reduc
tion Company there will be no com
plete remedy for existing conditions.
Dr. Raunick, who has been author
ized by Council to straighten out the
collection muddle, is doing his level
l>est to bring order out of chaos,
but lie didn't hesitate to say to-day
that the tipping must stop.
! The Telegraph printed a story this
week of how many of those em
ployes are holding the people up for
extra compensation, positively refus
ing to remove their ashes and gar
bage unless they are paid extra to do
so. Pr. Raunick to-day said that in
one block where the men of the con
tractors had covered a district, the
extra wagons of the city responding
to complaints had themselves gath
ered a large truck load from prem
ises which the regular contractors
had not even visited.
Strict inspection would probably
put a stop to the practice it was said
in city circles, however, it was gen
erally conceded that it is up to the
people themselves to refuse to give
gratuities to men paid under a city
contract.
Dr. Raunick to-day asked house
holders to report promptly to the
city health bureau immediately any
case where the collectors refuse to
take away the refuse.
Overflowing garbage cans and tons
of ashes must lead Inevitably, it was
pointed out. to an ujnvholesoine r.nd
unsanitary city. Prompt action now
will prevent more serious trouble
hereafter. Women, according to to
day's report, who have urged the
regular collectors to remove garbage
and ashes have frequently been in
sulted as it is a common practice of
these impudent employes to demand
a lunch and in the absence of a tip
to leave the accumulated garbage
and ashes on the premises.
Auguste. Rodin, Famous
Sculptor, Dead at 77
Paris. Nov. 17. Auguste Rodin,
the famous sculptor, is dead.
Auguste Rodin struggled fifty
years against poverty ana abuse and
ridicule for his unconventional ideas
before he achieved undisputed cele
brity as one of the most famous
sculptors of the world. Continuing
his work until past his seventy-fifth
year, he had, however, notwithstand
ing those early handicaps, still time
to enrich the world with innumerable
examples of his Impressionistic, in
spirational works, which arc prized
both In Europe and America.
Born in Paris In 1840, of wretch
edly poor parents, he was first heard
of in 1804, when, after a short time
spent in studying under Barye, he
sent his mask "The Man With the
Broken Nose" to the Salon. Al
though this interesting head con
tained the germ of all that was great
in his later work. It was refused, and
his poverty obliged him' to spend the
next six years In the drudgery of an
artist's assistant.

ties, shrapnel wounding some men in

Some of the men wounded in the last

The American batteries have been >

is considered certain that more j

caused in the German lines than the j
Germans have inflicted on the Ain- i

Patrolling continued actively last ,
night.
The American troops witnessed j
their first aerial encounter to-day.
Three enemy airplanes appeared'
over head. Soon all of them except
one fled at the approach of tlve
French machines. One of the French
out-maneuvered this German and
"got on his tail." The German
aviator then bolted. The rattle of
machine guns finally died away as
the two airplanes disappeared to the
west.
The French general commanding
the sector has mentioned in the dis
patches fifteen American officers and j
soldiers, including three who were•
killed, for excellent military quali- !
ties and for bravery displayed in the I
recent trench raid. A note accom-1
panylng the citations says that be-!
tween 8.000 and 'IO.OOO shells were I
used in the attack, which had been !
in preparation for three months,
down to the finest details. The re-1
j suits obtained by the enemy were

j to penetrate more than the first line
trenches because of the resistance
■of the American soldiers with rifle

The enemy had to content himself,
