Dispatches from Petrograd dealing with the military and politicaf situation concur ttvat Pe trograd itself is outwardly calmer than it has been for months, which Is at tributed to Premier Kerensky's strong repressive measures, including the dis arming of rioters and mutineers. Among the arrested extremists is said to be Madame Kollontae. The Ministry of Justice is said to have issued a statement that it. has clear proof that Nikolai Lenine, the Radical Socialist, and two of his asso ciates, Zymovieff and Kamenoff, were concerned In a German plot against Russia. None of the correspondents, however, mentions the arrest of Lenine. Internal Situation Better. The whole internal situation is said to show signs of improvement and. ac cording to the Times' Odessa corre spondent, it is generally recognized that the various domestic problems must now await the end of the war for solution. On the other hand, this correspondent records the victory of the extremists in the recent re-election of the local executive of the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers" Delegates. It Is believed that the Germans them selves were disconcerted by the uaex pected retreat of mutinous Russian troops near Tarnopol and lack suffi cient forces at that point to take full advantage of the situation. PETROGRAD. July 28. The executive committee of the Council of Work- wen's and Soldiers' Delegates have adopted by an overwhelming majority a resolution censoring Nikolai Lenine the Radical leader, and his associate. Zynovieff, and demanding that the Rad ical leaders be tried. The resolution also demanded obedience by all fac tions of the central government. According to the Gazette, Lenine, the Radical agitator, is being concealed in Kronstadt in the guise of a prisoner ty the Maximalists. General Nicholas Ruzsky, former Commander In Chief of the northern armies of Russia, and General Gurko, ex-commander of the Russian south western front, have been summoned to Petrograd. - ' 1 - . - v . , . , j , " .p "" Jr , - ns-' " -- -.f-'" '- 'Z'A 'THE STORE THAT UNDERSELLS BECA USE IT SELLS FOR CASH!' o D o o D o o n o n o o D o o o o a o Special Purchase and Sale of Women's Sports Tub Skirts All fashionable styles and ma- O't J C 41?

A similar tren to this probably was enacted when the American tank steamer Moreni engaged in a two-hour runninsr fltht with a U-boat. The Moreni battled desDeratelv with the submarine and was only abandoned after the entire ship was ablaze and the guns out of commission. A graphic picture of the battle is depicted in the official report. After a half-hour fight the gasoline tank was hit. About an hour later fire broke out over the entire ship and it became impossible for the men to pass ammunition aft. About this time the steering gear was shot away and the ship started to go round in circles. But the men still fought on. till the last gun was put out of commission. About 150 shots were fired at the U-boat, but after the steering gear was shot away the range could not be gotten with the boat swinging In circles. The commander of the submarine praised the crew of the vessel for the game resistance. D p FRENCH STOP ENEMY Series of German Attacks on Aisne Front Fail. TEUTON LOSSES ARE HEAVY British, but none of foment has yet developed.

Accounts from the French capital do not indicate that the raid, which was carried out on Friday night, was one in force or that it had serious results.- The Berlin announce ment states that bombs were dropped on railway stations and military establishments.

The Constitutional Democrats have agreed to re-enter the cabinet. Among the new ministers, according to an official statement by the govern ment, probably will be General Vladi mir Mahoukoff, first secretary-general of the revolutionary cabinet, and M. Astroff, Mayor of Moscow. These are party men, but Premier Kerensky Insisted that they must be independent of par:y dictation, to which the Con stitutional Democrats are said to have agreed. A common programme has not yet been decided upon. The chief obstacle is said to be the Socialist Minister of Agriculture, M. Tchernof f and his pol icy, which was denounced by Prince Lveff, the former Premier, as calcu lated to injure the country's produc tivity. The official statement says Minister Tchernoff may be given another post. The convocation of the Moscow con ference is threatened by the objection of M.

The Temps this afternoon gives a summary of his talk Mr. Lloyd George said that Great Britain now had between 5,000,000 and 5,500.000 soldiers enrolled without counting between 400,000 and 500,000 belonging to the navy or nearly 1,000,000 men from the Dominions and Colonies. Great Britain had placed at the dis position of her allies, he added, from 1,500,000 to 2,000.000 tons of merchant ships. Next year's building programme for merchant ships, which already has begun, amounts to 4,000,000 tons, or twice as much as in a good year during peace time. Alluding to the campaign against submarines, Mr. Lloyd George said : "The diminution In shipping losses is Incontestable. It is impossible to aban don the subject without paying horn age to the aid given by the American Navy, both regarding the organization of convoys and by torpedoboat destroy ers which, have rendered an invaluable service.' Continuing, Mr. Lloyd George said that 5,000.000 men and women now were engaged in war work in the United Kingdom. More women could be employed if the trades unions did not fear tire competition of women after the war, but other countries seemed to have experienced the same difficul ties. It could be said that at the pres ent time no English industry is work ing for individual interests except in agriculture. AJtnougn the .English people sin cerely hoped that the present war would be the last war, Mr. Lloyd George continued, the country intended to avoid its previous errors, and in the future would 'je able to support itself.

' to keep your hair in be careful what you I If you want good condition, wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en tirely greaseless) is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It Is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone In the family for months. Adv, I McDougall First" j j Iriffi'i I We Have Secured the Servlcea of K ' S Chas.
