PETROGRAD. Aug:. 4. f Special.)
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.

When the swarm of American battle-planes is loosed above France one at
least will be driven by a Portland boy, who is now at the San" Antonio avia
tion camp in Texas. 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."

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.

Mountains tributary to Goldendale are
operating short-handed and it is likely
that many of them will have to shut
down before getting out their cut for

mill down several weeks ago. after
cutting about one-tenth of the usual
run for a season. There has been no
labor trouble and wages were ad
vanced, but sawmill owners say tha
it has been impossible to get men to
carry on the work. ,

That the American Lake cantonment

plans to erect a hospital which will
have 1500 beds, which,, with the original

year's budget for the Improvement of
sanitary conditions in ' the five-mile

of the great" modern hospital would
make it the center of medical research
for the Northwest. '

which highly trained experts will work,
will be a unit in the group of build
ings. Major Macgruder. whose headquar
ters are in Portland, has charge of the
sanitary conditions which surround the

nected with the Army, his work so co
ordinates with the medical department
