Premier Kerensky was interviewed by
the Associated Press.
Premier Kerensky said:
"Announce that the Komiloff ad
renture now is completely at an end
and there is no prospect whatever of
bis adherents or of other parties attempting-
to revive It. Virtually all the
chief movers in the revolt are In our
hands and the matter may be consid
ered settled.
"Our Immediate problems are politi
cal and I hope they will be settled sat
isfactorily and peaceably. We must
think of reorganization at home and the
conduct of the war."
Cossack Leader at Large.
Asked regarding General Kaledines,
of the Cossacks, who with the forces
on the Don has not yet surrendered and
who is reported to be attempting; a re
volt, the Premier said:
"Kaledines Is still at large and mak
ing trouble, but I hope this incident
will soon come to an end. If not the
provisional government has the means
and the will to end it.
"General Kaledines may have a con
eiderabke number of adherents among
Cossack officers, but he and they in no
way represent the rank and file of
Cossacks who are very democratic and
entirely devoted to the revolution and
the provisional government. In proof
of this 1 have just bad here a deputa
tion from the Cossack council which
has expressed absolute devotion to us
and promised support.
"Further, it is a needed lesson to our
parties and Individuals to abstain from
violence, extremist policies and de
mands for manifestations. Whether the
lesson is learned or not. you may be
assured that a counter revolution will
never succeed. It commands no sup
port worth mentioning, either from the
population or the army, both of which
have a thirst for security, discipline,
tranquility and for the settlement fi
nally of the distracted country's tan
gled affairs."
Kornllorra tamader Bloodies.
The surrender of General Kornlloff
took place without bloodshed, but only
after prolonged negotiations, during the
course of which a collision seemed in
evitable. ; When the governmental army under
General Korotokoff was marching from
Orsha on Mohllev, General Kornlloff
was negotiating with General Alexieff.
chief of staff, who had already reached
Mohllev, but was unable to effect Kor
niloffs arrest, owing to the fact that
part of the local forces was emphat
ically for Kornlloff and prepared to de
fend him to the last.
Kornlloff and Lokemsky laid down
conditions under.which they were will
ing to surrender their swords the na
ture of which has not yet been re
ported, fioth showed considerable ob
stinacy .and the negotiations broke
down.
Two Hoars Given Kornlloff.
General Alexieff telegraphed to Pre
mier Kerensky a description of the po
sition at Mohilev, expressing the opin
ion that a majority of the local troops
were siding with Komiloff.
Kerensky refused to countenance de
lay and gave the order to General Alex
ieff to execute immediately the order of
arrest and as Alexieff still hesitated to
provoke a conflict, Kerensky tele
graphed him that if Komiloff had not
surrendered within two hours he would
conclude that Alexieff was Korniioff's
prisoner and would take other measures
for the expulsion of the counter revolu
tionists from Mohilev.
In the meantime government troops
were being steadily - concentrated on

NE of the great band of perplexed
sisterhood who doesn't want to
make a confidant of her next-door
neighbor, and evidently -la minus that
woman'a greatest boon companion, a
"lady friend." to whom she. can pour
out her woes, took her pen In hand
last week and "wrote to the paper" to
quet-y. This Is the burning question
she wanted answered:
"Co you think I can manage a hus
band, four children and a career I am
thinking about taking up without sac
rificing any or either of them?"
I didn't lose any sleep over thlnktng
out an answer, for I knew where I
could find one.
So few people are careering In Fort-
land nowadays.- A few brave souls
wander away from the home town and
we hear of their struggles and their
ultimate success or failure, or both. In
that roecca of the career follower. Nvw

Somehow none of us want to career
In Chicago or Philadelphia. Nothing
short of New York will do.
Successful Oaea Betan.
From time to time the successful
careerists come back on visits to the
home folk and to burst Into print with
ejaculations over how the place has
grown and that when they've got their
fill of a career of how they're going to
settle down on aa apple orchard In this
old state.
Of the others, the ones jrho do not
make good, and whose early talents
turn out to be but a flash in the pan
well, as Kipling says, that's another
story.
The crop of career followers Is not
so big this season. So many of us are
glad to have Just jobs and keep our
weather ear peeled for the Call when
it comes if It comes.
Which is a long way 'round by Robin
Hood's barn to tell you that If the
sister mentioned In the first paragraph
of this accounting had written in a
fortnight ago 1 wouldn't have found a
Simon-pure, or more or less pure,
careerist on the ground ready to be
called upon to answer her question.
Tom Dobaoa Is la Town.
But the sister wroteat an opportune
moment one might add an un nnlly
propitious moment. For Tom Dobson
is in town, and if there's any of our
native sons who Is qualified to speak
on a career It's this same Irish Tom.
with the golden voice and gifted fin
gers: Tom Dobson, who has risen In
less than a dozen years from a white
vested choir boy, sinking anthems In
a Portland church, to a place where
press and public hail him as one of
America's distinctive vocalists and call
his place In our music world as unique
and wholly in an artistic class by itself.
Tom has had jobs, and has had and
still having a career. Also be Is
still having Jobs, and that is something
worth noting, for lots of ambitious folk
with careers never get a Job at It.
Tom makes cash from his career, and
long ago began to earn the where
withal to buy the Jelly and marmalade
that you put on the bread-and-butter
Job.
Vacation la ta Be Spent Here.
Tom Is in Portland on his annual va
cation. He comes home in the late
Summer every year to see his mother.
Mrs. Amy Dobson. and his sister, Airs.
John F. Logan, and his brother-in-law,
John F., and the two little Loganber
ries. Dorothy anJ John, Jr.
Sometimes he rushes here for a real
rest, with a week or so at the beach;
again he stays longer and gives a con
cert. Last Fall he gave a -memorable
one. This time (and it's tonight at the
public Auditorium) he and his compan
ion artist, Lester Donahue, are to be
heard In a Joint concert for the benefit
of the Oregon Army and Navy auxiliary.
Knowing, therefore, that Tom Dob-
son was In our midst 1 called him on

Council of Soldiers' and Workmen's
Delegates today, which was attended by
soldiers who were absent rrom the
previous meeting, there were adopted
the Maximalist resolutions adopted yes
terday, putting forward an extremely
radical programme, demanding exclu
clusion of all representatives of the
propertied classes from power, aboli
tion of private property, the immediate
declaration of a democratic republic.
etc.
The delegates - announced they had
decided to convoke immediately a gen
eral conference of representatives of
the whole organised democracy for the
settlement of the question of consti
tuting a power capable of leading the
country until the time the constituent
assembly convenes.
The people' are called on to await
patiently the summoning of the con
ference and to abstain from arbitrary
or Illegal acts.
Kerensky la Approved.
The central committee of the execu
tive committee of the council and the
executive committee of the peasants'
delegates it a Joint meeting last nlg-ht
voted approval by an overwhelming
majority of Premier Kerensky's latest
move, which has distinctly improved
the prospects for the survival of the
new Cabinet of five.
These two organisations represent
the workmen, soldiers and peasants all
over the empire, unlike the petrograd
council of soldiers' and workmen's
deputies, the Bolsheviki, majority of
which yesterday made Impossible de
mands. They are the nearest thing to
a parliament which Russia possesses.
Premier Branded Dictator.
Notwithstanding an attack on Pre
mier Kerensky by delegates who de
nounced him as an Irresponsible dic
tator, the sentiment of the meeting was
emphatically in favor of the govern
ment. The cabinet of five, however, needs
to hold together only until September
26. when a new responsible ministry
will be appointed. Meanwhile the cabi
net is preparing; to make concessions to
the Left. It has drafted, but not yet
signed, a decree abolishing the Duma.

Then I asked Tom how things arc
going with him.
"Listen." he eaid. and I did. "if you
want to know what real trouble Is like
try managing a beneflct concert in a
place big enough to house a good part
of the Army. I never had the proper
amount of sympathy with my New York
manager and thought he was slow. Now
my mind Is changed. I think he's a
raving, tearing genius."
Then over the phone Tom told me In
disconnected bits the following:
"I've done more actual work than
ever before and can carry signboards,
put up cards, write up the house, seU
tickets, play the piano and sing. After
the concert I've engaged a lovely room

would despise you for trying on him.
"At present folk songs are the vogue,

80 songs that are folk to the core.
There are some beautiful tunes In the
old songs, and . the words are wonder
ful to sing.
"By the way, you know people are
slowly coming to the conclusion that
words really mean, something in songs.
I hope that the singer learn to know
It, too, and work a. little bit on their

"The only drawback to the -singers
and actors of America is their diction.
They mistreat the language unmerci
fully." Tom says he's carrying a little ax
for all his friends who do not add their
mite to swell the fund for the Army

Eastern Buildings -Will Bave 500
.Beds Where Crippled Americans
Will Bo Prepared for Re-
turn to Private Life.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. Sites have
been chosen tentatively in 19 cities for
the great "reconstruction" hospitals in
which the United States will begin the
work of rehabilitating for private life
its soldiers who return wounded from
the front in Europe. -
The cities, selected as the largest
centers of population, were announced
tonight by Major-General Gorges, Surgeon-General
of the Army, as follows:
Boston. New York. Philadelphia.
Baltimore, Washington, Buffalo, Cin
cinnati. Chicago. St. Paul. Seattle, San
Francisco. Los Angeles,- Denver. Kan
sas City, St. Louis, Memphis, Richmond.
Atlanta and New Orleans.
The hospitals at Boston. New York.
Washington and Chicago probably will
be the first built. They will have 500
beds with provisions for doubling' their
capacity if necessary. -
- Responsibility Is Accepted.
"The whole conception of govern
mental and national responsibility for
caring for the wounded," said General
Gorgas in making the announcement,
"has undergone radical change during
the months of study given the subject
by experts serving with the Medical
Officers' Reserve Corps and others
consulting with them. Instead of the
old idea that responsibility ended with
th return of the soldier to private
life with his wounds healed and such
pension as he might be given, it is
now considered that it Is the -duty of
the government to equip and re-educate
the wounded man. after healing
his wounds, and to return him to civil
life ready to be as useful to himself
and his country as possible.
Crippled to Be Newly Educated.
"When the soldiers are able to take
up Industrial training, further provi
sion will be ready. The Injured man
may be retrained to his previous occu
pation, to conform with his handicapped
condition, or retrained for a new in
dustry compatible with the condition.
Additional education will be given to
those fitted for it and men may in some
cases be returned to more valuable
work than that from which they were
called to war. Workshops will be pro
vided at the hospitals, but arrange
ments will -also be made with outside
industries whereby more elaborate
methods of training may be carried on.
Only Hopeless Cases Sent Home.
"Orthopedic (pre-ention of deform
ity) surgeons will be attached to the
medical force near the firing line and
to the different hospitals back of the
base orthopedic hospital, which will be
established within 100 miles of the fir
ing line. In this hospital. In addition
to the orthopedic ' surgical care, there
will be equipment for surgical recon
struction work and "curative work
shops" in which men will. acquire abll-
ity to uce injured members while doing
work interesting and useful in itself.
"It is not the intention that men able
to go back to the fii-ing line shall be
returned to this country unless their
convalescence will extend over, a
period of a considerable number of
months. Soldiers unable to return to
duty will be sent to the reconstruction
hospitals in the United Slates."

WASHINGTON. Sept. IS. Congres
sional plans, completed today, con
template adjournment early in Octo
ber. Speed in the Senate alone is essential
to carrying this plan into effect. The
house has almost completed Us work
and conferees are making all possible
haste to reach agreements on measures
that have passed both houses.
- Indications are that the Senate will
co-operate, as it rushed through the
trading with the enemy and the war
bond bills last week in record time
and has taken hold of the soldiers' end
sailors' insurance bill, one of the two
remaining big measures it has to pass,
with an apparent determination to ex
pedite consideration of It. Cloture may
be resorted to if necessary.
Revenue Bills In Conference.
Aside from the Insurance measure
nd the $7,000,000,000 war deficiency
bill, most of the big legislation of the
session will be in conference this week.
They Include the war tax. war bond
and trading with the enemy bills.
Agreement on the war tax bill some
time this week is expected, as its con
sideration has progressed smoothly.
Forecasts are that the bill will
emerge from conference carrying pro
visions for levies of about $2,500,000,000.
Only a few big differences exist be
tween the two bouses in war credits
and trading with the enemy measures.
Whether the alien draft resolution.
adopted by the Senate last week, will
be taken up in the House is undeter
mined. Many members want It adopted
but It may be crowded out in the rush
preceding adjournment.
Deficiency to Put Today.
The war deficiency bill probably will
pass the House tomorrow. The Senate
will reconvene Tuesday and take up the
Webb export trading bill, already
passed by the House, and this will be
followed by the Walsh oil land-leasing
bilL The deficiency measure may dis
place one of these. The insurance bill
Is being considered in committee and
probably will be reported late this
week.

the integrity of his motives nor the
loftiness of his purposes. Honest, gen
erous Harry Lane.
"Since his death I heard a dtstln-
' mished f entleman and acauatntance
say: 'Senator Lane was a most lovable
character, but I was never' quite able
to calculate his orbit!'
Even Justice Characteristic.
"That summed up his character In a

knew htm could safely say that what
ever his orbit, his action, his aim, his
purpose was toward the right, toward
honesty, toward justice and equality of
opportunity to all. to the humblest as
to the most exalted. '
On Senator Lane's personality Sena
tor Chamberlain said:
lie was restive under restraint. He
followed no rule because it was of long
standing unless It had merit. He did
not believe in the doctrine that what
was good enough for the father wac
good enough for the son.
Restraint Always Irked.
His practice was to follow a gen
eral scheme because it was right, and
his purpose always was to reach higher
deals and loftier standards. He could

never be patient to reach an end by
slow degrees. He wanted to reach It
at once.
"For that reason it was hard for him
to compromise,, and he could not do
what I usually denominated as team
work. . With the exception of a few
occasions when he first came to the
Senate he did not attend the confer
ences of his Democratic colleagues, and
was, therefore, at variance with them
much of the time.
Sick Cared For Free.
"Yet no one questioned his Integrity
of purpose. Because he saw but one
way to accomplish an end, he thought
everyone ought to see it and reach it
by the quickest routs. He did not like
circumlocution and would not stand for
It even if by it he would eventually
reach the same goal for which he was
striving."
Referring to his career as a physi
cian. Senator Chamberlain said:
"No man, woman or child ever came
to htm suffering or In want that he did
not give aid and comfort without money
and without price. There are thousands
of people in the West who have bene
fited by his kindness and generosity
who rise now to call him blessed."
Commenting on his service as Mayor
of Portland, Senator Chamberlain said:
"He made Portland a better place to
live in. He drove out the thugs and
gamblers and purified districts which
prior to his administration had been
given over to every form of vice.
Municipal Graft Eliminated.
"He made no compromises, but hewed
to the line with the sole aim and pur
pose to correct evils in municipal gov
ernment, to make the Jot of the labor
ing man easier, to cut out every form
of graft and to see to it that every one
received a square deal at the hands of
those in authority. No administration
was ever more stormy, and none ever
so fruitful of beneflclent results."
Coming finally to Senator Lane's
service in the Senate, Senator Cham
berlain finally said:
"He showed upon his entrance here
the same disregard of precedents that
characterized his whole life. . Fearless
at all ti.ues, he did not hesitate to dif
fer from his warmest personal and po
litical friends.
Courage Seen in Stand.
"iris attitude with respect to armed
neutrality and the war with Uie im
perial German government proved more
than any of his public acts his great
moral courage. He was at variance
with the great majority of his col
leagues and did not fear to give ex
pression to his vie wa. He hated war
and his tender heart and the horror
of bloodshep led him to hope that a
crisis might be averted.'
"But his motives were misunderstood
by enemies and friends alike, with the
result that he was most brutally and
unjustly assailed by many of the public
Journals throughout the country. The
injustice of these attacks, in my opin
ion, made acute a disease that was
lurking In his Bystem and unquestion
ably hastened his death.
Senator's Heart Broken.
"He was charged with engaging in
a filibuster against the armed neu
trality bill which was wholly un
merited. He was charged with treach
ery to his country, which was entirely
untrue, for . there was never a man
whose heart was more truly loyal than
Harry Lane's, and after -.r was de
clared he would have contributed the
weight of his influence and his every
vote to the making ef American arms
successful.
"No one will ever know what anguish
he Buffered under these unjust charges,
and .1 really believe they almost troke
his noble generous heart."

Defense Council Objects to Foreigners
Filling Vacancies Created by
Men Beins Drafted.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16. (Spe
cial. ) A patriotic appeal addressed to
the business community was issued to
day by the County Council of Defense,
calling attention to the fact that po
sitions vacated by young men included
in the draft should be filled by Amer
ican citizens.
The text of the appeal follows:
"Whereas, Aliens are not subject
to the selective service law as now in
operation; and,
"Whereas, The positions vacated by
our young citizens when called to the
colors are In some instances being
filled by aliens who enjoy the privi
leges of this country without assuming
the obligations of citizenship, and
"Whereas, It is unfair that the po
sitions of men who have gone to the
front to fight for their country should
be filled by aliens who deliberately re
fuse to serve the United States now,
therefore, be it
"Resolved, That the County Coun
cil of Defense call to the attention of
all employers in San Francisco the
desirability of employing American cit
izens to fill the positions vacated by

"Resolved, That the County Council
of Defense recommend to all employers
that positions vacated by employes who
