Democratic hopea In Russia have lipn dealt an other aerloua Wow by the czar's re vival of the chancellorship and hla appointment of Premier Uoremyktn to the position. Tbla U an iinmual office In Ruaala. It baa been filled only 12 tlmea In two centuries and baa been In abeyance (or the past gen eration. Tbe czar's more now la due to hla desire to Increaae tbe power and prestige of Goremykln and to emphasize bla approval of the reac tionary movement. The fact that there, waa a lark of more aerloua obftruc(lona than street rioting to the ciar'a antl-democratlc actlvltlea haa coincided with the halt of the Teutonic offenalves In Russia. The czar himself baa taken credit for the new military iltuatlon, In view of the fact that be haa been In command of the fluaalan armies since he de posed the grand duke. The check, however, Is not due to tbe Russians' positive virtues, but rather to the de mands of tbe Serbian campaign un dertaken by the central allies, and to the fact that renaonable numbers of Teutonlo objectives had been won on the eastern front when the csar took the leadership. Now Goremykln will mnrshal the st and pat forces to protect the czsr from the duma. For tbe remainder of the war, therefore, the duma'a In fluence la killed. TWO WOMEN SPIES HAVE BEEN EXECUTED BY ORDER OF FRENCH Paris, Nov. 1. France makes no secret of the fact that ahe haa exe cuted two women spies.

STRCETS, Prop, and Mgr. 1) BOATS TRAPPED BY VIRE1IETTIIIG Declared That Remaining Sub marine Crews Are In Panic. OVER 80 PER CENT LOST. Naw Method Is Ssld to Have Raaulted In the linking of Sixty-seven Since May 6. Underwater Craft Caught In Huge Nats of 8trong Wire Dropped In Their Path. Tbe reason wby tbe German govern ment has consented to change Its sub marine methods Is because, over 80 per cent of its submarine have been destroyed and Its underaesa warfare brought to complete failure within tbe pat two months, says tbe Providence Journal, Tbe Journal says It la able to print the full and accurate story of the man ner In which tbe British navy has ac complished this work. Tbe operations under the present method hare lasted over a period of four months, and tbey would have been brought to a success ful completion many weeks ago If the British naval authorities had realised that some of the mechanical contriv ances made use of were not fit for the work. 81xty-aeven German submarines, tweuty-elgbt of wblcb are declared to have been of the newest and latest construction, have been sunk snd their crews destroyed by the British nary luce tbe fifth day of May. It 1s stat ed on positive authority that the full capacity of the German shipyards for auderseas boats la not more than three a month, but that even If Germany were able to replace ber submarines as font as tbey bad been destroyed tbe gravest situation she faces In regard to this method of warfare Is the actual destruction of tbe morale of tbe officers and crews of such Teasels. Submarine Crew In Panlo. It Is declared that wblle the sailors who man German submurluc are as brave and efficient as those of any na tion In the world, tbe authorities have been unnble to keep from them tbe facts wltb regard to the mysterious disappearance of dozens of HUhmnrlneit with tbetr entire crew and that tbla condition bus brought about a prac tical punk umoug all men In this bruuch of the ecrrlce. who not only be (leve tbut when they leitv the protec tion of hcr own waters they are irolug to dtKtructlon. but who hnve not under stood how that destruction wus being brouKht about. For several month there tins been considerable publicity wltb regard to the belief that transports from Urent Britain to the couMt of Prauce Uhv bevn protected from Hiiliinurlues muia ly by pntbways of wire netting stretch ed across the channel. It bos been known that great quantities of wire have been shipped from the Onlted States and that very large orders for similar materlul have been filled In British factories. This wire has not been used In the manuer suggested. The operations which have resulted In the practical elimination of the Ger man submarine navy have all centered about the fact that the periscope of the submarine, particularly wben traveling In sea that are rough or choppy, has a very greatly restricted range of vi sion. This range at tbe most In clear water Is not more than one mile, ex cept wben there are vessels on tbe horizon using fuel which makes smoke, when the range of vision is Increased to from three to five miles. Drop Traps In Their Path. , Tbla fact bos been taken full advan tage of. The netting which baa been used by tbe British navy for the post two months bos been made of galvan ised material wltb a fifteen foot mesh. This slxe bna aupcrseded both tbe nine foot and tbe twelve foot mesh which preceded It and which were found to be impracticable for the purpose. The netting has been cut Into lengths of 170 feet with a depth or twenty-seven feet On top of this netting are lashed great blocks of wood. Oil burnlug torpedo boat destroyers, vessels of great speed, have been used In pairs, running along slowly with these sections of nettipg stretched between them, Tbe moment a submarine periscope 18 sighted the destroyers slow down at a distance of a mile or less, and as soon as the sub marine's course Is charted by the con tinuous movement of ber periscope tbe dostroyers get ahead of ber path and cut away the lnshlugs which bold the ends of the nottlng t tbe vessels. It is declared that three times out of four, when this has been done, the sub marine has run directly into tbla net ting which, by the time the submarine reaches It, has sunk from eight to ten feet below tb'c surface, and that -with bows once enmeshed the submarine turns turtle and sinks out of sight At times the destroyers hnve run for several miles ahead of these submu rlnc before dropping their nets. In or der to make sure of the exact course of the enemy, Eight or ten submarine dure .'escaped destruction, merely ly accident. U chiingliig tlielr course aft, cr the ttcttluct has been let go.

Arizona's Allen labor law was held unconsti tutional by tbe supreme court of the United States today. The law pro Tided that an employer of over five persons must have 80 per cent ot tbem qualified electors or native citi zens. It waa adopted nnder tbe ini tiative. Mike Raich, an. Austrian waiter, asked an Injunction to prevent Wil liam Troax and the State of Arizona from causing his discharge. The low er court declared the law violated the Fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution by not giving the equal protection of the law to all residents. In the opinion delivered today Justice Hughes said: "It la sought to justify this act as an exercise of the state's power to make reasonable classifications In leg tslatlng to promote the health, safety, morals and welfare of those within Its jurisdiction. But this admitted authority, within tbe broad range of legislative discretion implied, does not go as far as to make It possible for a state to deny these lawful in habitants, because of race or nation ality, the ordinary means of earning a livelihood. "The authority to control immlgra tion to admit or exclude aliens is vested solely in the federal govern ment" t'OMINO EVENTS.
