Confirmation of all measures which the now socialist-coalition cabi 1 et may take in putting down mutiny et home and in the army, is thus given. The vote was by the executive com mittee of the two great all-Russian con gresses the workmen' and soldiers', and the peasants. It showed 252 in fa vor of such a grant of power; none vot ing no and 47 re'feraining from register ing their opinion. 1'he action was the seeond vote in approval of the plan to grant the pro visional cabinet with Premier Keren ' sky at its head unqualified support in every move which it may make. The executive committee, however, added to its approval the demand that ' the eight socialist ministers in the cabi net must hereafter report' weekly to workmen's and soldiers' anctthe peas- ants' congress. ," The duina iirogressives today named M.

Clother with "unlimited powers", the new people's cabinet was prepared today to invoke measures of bloodshed - to stop the rout of the southeast army i end to clean oat the nests of German provocatorg scattered throughout the ' nation. Premier Kerensky, arriving at . the front today, was expected to order loyal., troops without-morcy to shoot down such of their fellow soldiers who . yielded to German propaganda and . started the mutiny. , The rigorous policy of repression of : traitors and of German sympathizers is the people's own plan. The all-Russian . -workmen's and soldiers' and peasants' . congresses formally approve it.

Three Girls Leave School But Two of Them Return " Believing that at least one of the three inalienable rights of which orators -speak that of liberty was not absolutely essential to life and the pursuit of hap piness, two of the three girls who es caped from the State Industrial School for Girls, walked in to the Viek garage last night and telephoned Mrs. Minnie Darst, the matron, of their where abouts. ' . Being strangers in the country, they wandered rather aimlessly about over the country, finally staying in a patch of timber near the Mute school all day yesterday. They Baid they had a chance to go to Portland in a macbine, but they were afraid that if they went, they would be caught. It was gathered from their talk that they had been upon sim ilar escapades before. - -. One of the girls answered to the name of Ossie, while the name of the other wag not learned. After calling Mrs. Darst over the telephone, they waited at the garage ' until Officers Cooper and Victor took them to trie po lice station to await the coming of the matron. There were three in the party that ran away Saturday night, but the third girl is still at large. SUBMARINE CANE UP UNDER BIG STEAMER And That Ended Her Career Tarnopol Evacuated, Is In Flames A Gulf Port, July 24 The Career of a German submarine recently came to a swift end when that craft, in coming to the surface, rose directly beneath a big steamer of the Alfred Holt line, a j short distance out of Liverpool, accord-' ing to the master of a steamer docking nere toaay. With attention apparently focused entirely on disposing of a smaller steamer several miles away the sub-! rnarino crew wag unaware of the larger steamer. Both were moving ir, the same general direction. - The ship caromed sharply from the upward blow, but Immediately -slid- safely from the enemy's back. The submarine .came ip only a few hundred--fact away:,nnd, fully exposed, furnished a fine target for the ship's gunners. A few well placed shots were sufficient. . I The captain of the ship arriving here today declared this is the second time to his knowledge that a submarine has met destruction by- coining up beneath a merchant ship. - -,. .

Stock prices generally strengthened to their best figures on the receipt of this news in the early afternoon. At the outset of busines quotations were irregular and indiffer ently changed. 'Motal shares and war stocks were tho most prominent in tho upturn Steel common, Bethlehem Steel, Lack awanna, Mexican Petroleum, Reading and the like ranged higher throughout the dealings. The early improvement was quickly cancelled, however, when in . the last hour a new bear raid was made on the market. ; This was apparently induced by the report that Secretary McAdoo will urge that the pending revenue measure be amended so as to produce at least $1,000,000,000 more.
