The .--triiggl for power between the Socialists and the Cadets remained the central fight in the All-Russian con prss called yesterday, it is not likely that the Socialists will continue in con trol, as they have been for the past three months. The worst problem is what to do with the soldier army coun cils, which are very powerful. They -will be difficult to end. but if they con tinue the authorities will be unable to organize the army. The center of developments Is in the army councils. The dual authority of headquarters and the councils has proved impracticable. The appoint ment of Khorneloff as commander-in-chief emphasizes the renewed iron dis cipline in the army, as the appointment comes with drastic force amid heated discussion over the re-establishment of the death penalty. Khorneloff electri fied the country during: the. Galician drive by demanding: the death penalty to save the country. The three times I have seen Khorne loff illustrates the whirling course of the revolution. The first time he was commander at Petrograd and was hon ored by the happy revolutionary sol diers. The second time he was order ing a Finnish regiment to leave the Marinsky Palace at the time of the Miliukoff crisis. The regiment refused and he resigned. The third time I dined with him. he was commander-in-chief of the armies near t'zerrvowitz "nnd was surrounded by members of the battalion of death, wearing skulls and cross-bones as their emblem. He is a type o the stern Cos pack, disciplinarian and impressed me as one who would let nobody interfere with his orders. t " " ' !

Before he joined the colors he was a truck driver in this city. ........ Robert T. Ballard, one-time driver for the American Soda Works and later employed at the Union-Avenue Garage, has passed the fledgling: stage of aerial training and now is a duly-recognized and licensed aviator of the United States Aviation Corps, according to letters received in this city. - The letters were written by young Ballard's less fortunate comrades, who are whole-heartedly joyful that he has qualified and received official ap pointment. There are numbers of Oregon and Portland boys in the San An tonio aviation camp, where the representation from this state exceeds that of any other, proportionately considered.: One of them writes: - "All of the boys who came down here with Ballard are proud that Port land will have one of its own sons to represent it in the air. We think that Portland will be glad to know that she has a boy who makes good in the manner he has." FIRE WARNINGS ISSUED rnOTECTIOX . OF grain co.xcers OF ALL HIILLME.N. J'AITH IX KERESSRV IS VOTED Political. Leaders Invite Premier to rorni His Own Cabinet. PETROGRAD, Aug. 4. The political conference at the Winter Palace ended at 6 o'clock this morning when each of the five parties represented passed a resolution declaring its confidence in Premier Kerensky and inviting him to form his own cabinet. Four of the resolutions declared that a new cabinet should adhere to the programme of reform and consolidation issued by Premier Kerensky on June 21, but the Constitutional Democrats in their resolution made no mention of the programme which they continue to oppose. Premier Kerensky's decision, has not yet been received. The conference, which probably will be a great factor in determining the fate of Russia, met under solemn cir cumstances in tho wonderful green malachite hall of the Winter Palace, The entire cabinet, with the excep tion of Premier Kerensky, who still Is technically in resignation, was present, as were outside party leaders, includ ing Paul N. Miliukoff, M. Rodzianko and the president of the council of work men's and soldiers' delegates. Before the meeting began Vice Premier TCekrasoff announced that it was lie and JVI. Terestchen k o. the For eign Minister, who suggested the resig nation of 31. Tchernoff until the accu- ations against him could be cleared up Before the general debate began M. Nekrasoff. who presided, in answer to a. question by M. Rodzianko. said that the latest breach in the Russian front may have serious consequences, but probably the enemy advance will be ptopped. General Gurko, M. Nekrasoff added, was arrested because in the cor respondence of Nicholas Romanoff, the former Emperor, there had been dis covered a. letter from General Gurko. 3t was written immediately after tho revolution, and in it th-e General as ured the former Emperor that he re mained faithful to the autocracy, but that he considered it necessary for till present to lie low and pretend that he Accepted the revolution. TASK IS HELD IMPOSSIBLE Kerensky's Letter of Resignation Is Made Public. "FETROGTIAD. Aug. 2. via London, 'Aug. 4. Alexander Kerensky, in his letter to Vice-Premier Nekrasoff, re signing the Premiership of Russia but whose resignation the provisional gov ernment decided not to accept, said: "In view of the impossibility. In spite of all the measures I have taken, to reconstruct the provisional government eo as to cope with the necessities of the historic and exceptional conditions at the present time. I can no longer continue responsible to the country, and I have asked the provisional govern ment to relieve me of my functions." After deciding not to accept M. Ke rensky's resignation, the provisional government called a meeting of repre sentatives of all the political parties as well as the representatives of the Iuma and the Council of Soldiers' and Work men's Delegates and of the Council of Peasants' Delegates. The meeting was presided over by Vice-Premier Nekrasoff, who explained that the reason for convening it was to give an opportunity for the repre eentatlves of the various parties to press their views. M. Terestchenko, Foreign Minister. and M. Tseretelli, Minister of Posts and Telegraphs, ad dressed the meeting and emphasized the necessity for a close union of all parties in order to have the country survive the crisis.
