UPRISING N
RUSSIA
APPEARS IMMINENT
Newspapers Filled With Ru
mors of Plot to Seize Gov
ernment November 2.
CIVIL WAR IS PLANNED
Soldiers ami Workmen Accuse Ke-reiit-ky
With Desire to Deliver
Ie t rog rail Into Hands
of Germans.
PKTROOUAD. Oct. 24. Minister of
the Interior Nikitin, in a proclamation
to all the commissioners throughout
Russia, exhorts all classes of the popu
lation to "unite against the increasing
anarchy, which is driving the country
to ruin."
The Minister says that without such
co-operation the government will
hardly he able to keep order and pre
vent out rages.
The evening newspapers, which pub
lish the programme for the meeting of
the Central Council of Soldiers and
Workmen's Deputies on November 2,
are filled with rumors of a Bolshevik i
demonstration and an attempt to seize
the government on that date.
The programme for the discussions of
the council embraces five topics: The
revolutionary democracy, the condi
tions of peace, the constituent assem
bly, demobilization of the army and
the fight against anarchy.
Civil AVar In Planned.
The Vechernee Vremya says:
"The soldiers and workmen's depu
ties frankly admit they are planning
civil war."
The newspapers state that Premier
Kerensky probably will relinquish the
post of commander-in-chief of the Rus
sian armies to General Boukhonin at
the end of the week.
On Monday the Council of Soldiers
and Workmen's Delegates adopted a
resolution proposed by Leon Trotsky,
president of its executive committee
and a leading Maximalist, declaring
the salvation of the country lies in the
conclusion of peace as quickly as pos
sible. Kfreiiky Called Pro-German.
The resolution contains declarations
accusing Premier Kerensky of a desire
to deliver Vetrograd into the hands of
the Germans and their "imperialist al
lies." and also of openly favoring the
German Kmperor.
The resolution demands that all pow
er pass into the hands of the Council
of Soldiers and Workmen and instructs
the executive committee to propose an
armistice to all the nations.
As long as peace is not concluded,
however, continues the resolution, the
committee must defend Petrograd and
- restore the army to a status of com
bative force.
In consequence of this resolution, the
Petrograd Council of Soldiers' and
Workmen's Delegates has decided to
form a revolutionary general staff for
the defense of IVtrograd.
IlolMhevikl ot Trusted.
Trotsky, at a meeting of the coun
cil, explained why the Bolshevik! bolt
ed the first meeting of the Russian
democratic congress, declaring that
that body had not been representative
of the people and was not trusted by
the soldiers and workmen.
"With the formation of the prelim
inary parliament," he said, "the inde
pendence of the ruling power was con
firmed officially. Russia is a republic,
but its autocrat is Kerensky."
He urged the Workmen's and Sol
diers councils to be ready to fight for
the powers to be handed over to them,
lie declared they would be able to save
the country and make peace.

from the county, as the appointment of
the deputies depends upon the status of
the Coroner and that they must stand
or fall together.
The constitutional right of Dr. Dam
masch to continue to draw his salary as
Coroner of Multnomah County was
raised October 1, when his claim for
$250, his salary for the preceding three
months, was presented to County Audi
tor Martin.
At that time the Board of County
Commissioners referred the matter to
District Attorney Evans, who held that
the claimant, having accepted a com
mission .as Kirst Lieutenant in the Med
ical Reserve Corps, was not entitled to
his salary as Coroner, contending that
the commission constituted a "lucra
tive" office within the meaning of the
state constitution.
Mr. Evans, however, requested an
opinion from the Attorney-Oeneral,
affirmed the ruling made by Mr. Evans.
Chairman Rufus C. Holman. of the
Board of County Commissioners, said
last night he expected Dr. Dammasch
would tender his resignation as Coroner
in view of the opinion of the Attorney
General. In case Dr. Dammasch offers
his resignation, the Commissioners are
empowered to appoint his successor to
serve until the election next year. Mr.
Holman said he had no one in mind
for appointment to the office.
Since the departure of Dr. Dammasch
Edward V, Smith, chief deputy, has
been acting as Coroner.
PAINLEVE UNDER FIRE
PHESEAT FRENCH CABINET
EXPECTED TO LAST LtLXG.
NOT
Premier Cltlclzcd for Change in For
eign Portfolio and Treatment
of M. Klbot.
PARIS, Oct. 24. The press receives
with anything but entnusiasm the ef
fort of Premier Painleve to escape from
his difficulties by the change in the
foreign portfolio. It is not expected
that the present cabinet will remain in
power for any great length of time
and on the part of many it is not
wished for.
The Premier apparently does not in
tend to appoint another Minister of
State in place of J. Louis Barthou, who
yesterday was appointed foreign Min
ister, so that the ministry will be re
duced, from 19 to IS members. This has
aroused some comment, for it is known
that the Premier's first intention was
a drastic readjustment with an in
crease in the number of ministers. Sev
eral of the new members were to have
been Socialists. It was only when he
was dissuaded from such action by
various leaders whom he consulted and
by the refusal of Rene Viviani and Al
bert Thomas to join the Cabinet that he
decided to confine himself to replac
ing M. Ribot in the Foreign Office.
The choice of M. Barthou is wel
comed unreservedly only by the most
moderate commentators. The Gaulois
recalls that it was M. Barthou s ener
gy and sagacity wh ich forced Parlia
ment to pass the three years military
service bill in 1914, which is the rea
son why his appointment is displeas
ing to the radicals. Another ground
for complaint is the treatment of M.
Ribot.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24. Lord Northcliffe,
head of England's special mission to
this country, was the guest of honor at
a banquet of the Chicago Association
of Commerce held at a hotel tonight.
The menu was wheat less, in conform
ity with the request of the National
Food Administration. In addition it
was liquorless. At its close the dis
tinguished Briton received a welcome
lasting several minutes when he arose
to speak.
I am one of those who say quite
plainly, and believe absolutely that we
are only at the very beginning of this
strange and mysterious thing that is
passing over the world," he said
"Every person who thinks the war it
approaching its close very naturally
diminishes his or her ardor in the
prosecution of the war. ihis is a war
of the many behind the army. In the
old days a war was chiefly fought by
soldiers. Today it is achieved by loan
subscribers, mechanics, controllers of
great munition plants, farm producers
and in my own country, very largely
bv women who have taken up man s
work.'

Kerensky, Addressing: Parliament,
Hints at Monarchical Plots and
Urges Higher Sense or Duty
to New Republic.
PETROGRAD, Oct. 2?. In an emo
tional address to the preliminary par
liament today Premier Kerensky ap
pealed to the delegates to endeav
or to arouse in the people the
same sense of individual respon
sibility at the front and " in the
rear which carried the Russians to
victory for a time in the post-revolutionary
offensive early in July. The
Premier deplored the present demorali
zation of the army.
"If only we could rekindle the en
thusiasm of those July days in the
heart of each man," he said, "we should
have peace by Christmas, an honor
able peace, for free Russia, with the
war fought to an honorable end."
The Premier talked for an hour, run
ning the gamut of emotions from de
spair to hope. He was applauded on
all sides.
"We are not fighting for political
ends, but for the very existence of
Russia," he declared. "The army in the
trenches seems to have lost the sense
of duty and honor, although at some
places it is filled with a new spirit.
The batteries on Oesel Island gave up
without a struggle, while the little
Dago Island forces fought bravely.
M. Kerensky defended the govern
ment against charges made by M.
Markoff, radical, who blamed officers
for the demoralization of the army, and
hinted at monarchical plots. He said
the Kornilof f revolt was not mon
archical but a mere attempt at a
dictatorship, as also was the Bolsheviki
revolt of July.
'Peace has been postponed by the
disintegration of the army by forces
which are continuing the work of the
old regime," he said.
In his discussion of the army, situa
tion before the Parliament, Minister of
War Verkhovski said the government
would introduce a bill providing for
the establishment of qualified regi
mental disciplinary tribunes, which
would apply a system of penalties un
der which entire regiments, if convicted
of lack of discipline, would have their
leave stopped and their rations con
siderably reduced.
Death Penalty Im It entered.
Premier Kerensky said that when the
enemy broke ttie Russian front in
Galicia excesses were witnessed at
Kaltiscz and Tarnopol, which recalled
the Pegroms at Kishinef and the times
of the government of the Romanoffs
and for that reason the present gov
ernment, at the demand, of the general
staff, military commissioners and regi
mental committees, restored the death
penalty.
The Premier added that excesses still
continued in South Russia, but that he
believed the regular organization and
cc-ordination of the general staff, the
litary commissioners and the regi
mental commanders could create an
army The martial ana comoauve spirit
of which would stop the enemy's of
fensive.
The Parliament has appointed a com
mittee of national defense composed of
41 members.
