NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, RUSSIANC FORCE . ENEMY TG RETIRE Germans Pushed Back Seven Miles on Wide Front Washington, Sept. 18.—The most encouraging feature of the Russian vsituation as reported in official dis- patches to the Russian embassy, is the news that the military situation has been greatly strengthened by steps taken by General Alexieff, the new commander in chief, while gfforts are being made to adjust the inter- nal political situation. The political contest has been improved by the proclamation of a republican form of . Eovernment for Russia, and the tem- porary creation of a smaller cabinet of five, headed by Premier Kerensky. The Russian embassy has been ad- vised that the military situation is considerably brighter, that the Rus- slan lines were not left open to the enemy during the recent revolt, and that Russian forces in the Riga sec- tor are again moving in the direc- tion of Riga. The embassy has been » informed that in this sector the Rus- slan forces have advanced seven miles on a rather wide front during the last five days, forcing the enemy back, and compelling certain changes in German plans for withdrawing troops from the Russian front for use on other fronts. The embassy was advised that Rus- sta is now fulfilling a very important . part of her task as a member of the 7 Entente alliance, forcing the Ger- mans to concentrate on the eastern front more soldiers than ever before, and that this achievement is favor- able to France, England, Belgium, _Corn Pain Stopped Quick Corns Lift Right Off With “Gets-It” Blessed relief from corn palns ' is _xiraple as A B C with “Gets-It". When you've hcen limping around ¢ for days trying to get away from a heart-drilling corn or bumpy callus. and everything you've tried has only and Ttaly. General Alexleff has be- gurn. to obtair important results in his reorganization of the army. New generals have been appointed ! to the higher commands ir. the army, this step being necessitated by the lack of confidence on the part of the soldiers in certain old army officers, | who were suspected by the line of having been sympathetic toward Kor- niloff. The soldiers refused to obey | the orders of some of the old com- | manders, and it was believed that new officers could better restore au- thority and discipline in the ranks. The embassy is advised that the Korniloff movement appears finally to be “liquidated” without the shedding of blood, and with the Provisional government seemingly stronger than before. The government has adopt- ed the attitude of favoring greater discipline in the army, and has es- tablished the principle that the dem- ocratic government ought not to be attacked from any quarter. The embassy had not received con- firmation of, and discredited, the re- port that General Alexieff had com- mitted suicide after an interview with Kerensky. BERLIN GUT OFF BY ) | May Not Be Able to Get Outside Information Washington, Sept. 18.—If the atti- tude of the German Government is correctly represented in the Stockholm newspaper, which says that Berlin has instructed its envoys not to reveal the contents of a code message sub- mitted for transmission by the Swed- Ish Government, an issue has been raised between Germany and the neu- trals, which, in the opinion of offi- clajs here, can eventuate only in a decisive ‘‘show down.” Representatives of this Government find it inconceivable that any of the neutrals—at least any of them that wish to retain the friendship of the Entente—ever again would consent to transmit messages for German diplo- mats without .knowing every word submitted. Having full knowledge of the manner in which such privileges are abused by the Germans a neutral government immedlately would invite the suspicion of deliberate friendliness to the Imperial government if it did not insist upon a translation of the code, according to .the viewpoint in ‘Washington. It is believed that the only effect of Germany’s instructions to the envoys will be to bring forth definite, if not indignant, refusals from the neutral governments. Germany will thus be shut completely from the secret sourc- made it worse, and then you put some “Gets-It" on and the pain eases right * away, and the corn peels right off like a banana skin—“ain’t it a grand and heavenly feeling?" “Gets-It" has revolutionized the corn history of the world. Millions use it and it never fails. Ladies wear smaller shoes and have pain-free feet. We old fellows and young fellows for- get our toes and feel frisky as colts. Everybody with a corn or callus needs “Gets-It"”. We will all walk about and enjoy ourselves as we did without corns. Get a bottle today from your druggist, or sent on receipt of price by E.

Sweden, for the sins of her Baron Loewen and whoever else assisted in facilitating the transmission of the Luxburg “spurlos versenkt” messages, is finding it virtually impossible to get the use of the cables now. It may be said that other neutrals will discover themselves in much the same situa- tion if théy are disposed to help Ger- many to the injury of the Entente. Allled diplomats here frankly say it is going to be increasingly difficult for neutral Government to extend aid to the Central Powers in way of food- stuffs and information without them- selves being blacklisted by the Allies, on whom the neutrals are largely de- pendent. MORATORIUM FOR SOLDIERS. Soldiers and Sailors to Be Protected Against Creditors. ‘Washington, Sept. 18.—Legislation to protect the civil and property rights of soldiers, in effect a mora- torium for the duration of the war in behalf of men who are serving their country on the firing line, may be placed upon the administration’s program for this session of congress as a necessary element of the raising | of a citizen army. The soldierg and sallors civil rights bill to carry out this purpose already has been introduced in both houses, | having been introduced in both houses, having been framed in the office of Judge Advocate General Crowder. Secretary Baker, it was learned today, has under considera- tion recommendations that the en- tire weight of administration in- fluence be brought to bear to obtain early enactment of the measure. To save soldiers and sailors from all kinds of legal injustices in their absence from home, the measure would enjoin the carrying out of cer- tain civil court actions until after the close of the war, and establish ay a legal excuse for failure to carry out certain contracts the fact that a man is in the military service. It is proposed that creditors’ suits against officers or men may be held up and judgment by default denied, the framers of the bill recognizing that a man in the army or navy would have no opportunity to make his defence in person or to arrange for its proper hearing through coun- sel. NAVAL COURSE AT YALE. Students Will Be Prepared for Posi- tion of Ensign New Haven, Conn., Sept. 18.—Yale will inaugurate a course in naval training for its students, beginning with the opening of the college yvear next month. The course will prepare students for the position of ensign in the United States Navy and will parallel the course in artillery train- ing started last Spring to train stu- dents for commissions in the artillery branch of the army. The students will be allowed to take a three-year course to fit themselves for either army or navy commissions, the for- mer course having been cut down one yvear by the addition of extra work. 1 GERMAN REGRETS NOT SATISFACTORY Argentina Threatens Rupture Un- less Formal Apology Is Made Buenos Aires, Sept. 18.—Dr. Luis B. Molina, the Argentine Minister at Berlin, has informed the Argentine Foreign Office by cable that the Ger- man Government had expressed re- grets over the actions of Count Von Luxburg, the German minister to Ar- gentina. Dr. Molani reported that Baron von dem Bussche-Haddenhaus- en, under secretary of the German foreign office, had informed him that Germany : disapproved absolutely of expressions used by Count von Lux- burg In his dispatches. The under secretary, who acted for Dr. von Kuehlmann, the German for- eign secretary, during von Kuehl- mann’s absence in Munich, asked the Argentine government to notify Count von Luxburg that the German gov- ernment wished him to return imme- diately to Germany to explain the en- tire matter personally. Dr. Molina was asked to obtain a safe conduct for Count von Luxburg. Count von Luxburg announced that he probably would sail on Sept. 28 for Bilbao, Spain, on a Spanish steamer. Foreign Minister Pueyrredon, after reading Dr. Molina's cablegram, an- nounced that he declined to accept the assurances of Baron von dem Bus- sclie-Haddenhausen as a satisfactory settlement of the Luxburg incident, because it was merely the oral state- ment of an under secretary. The Ar- gentine foreign office is awaiting a formal note from the German gov- ernment before closing the incident. The report from Berlin that Dr. Molina had explained to the German government that the handling of pass- ports by Argentina to Count von Lux- burg was a personal matter and did not signify a rupture of relations was classed as of doubtful accuracy by Minister Pueyrredon. It was trup that a rupture had not heen created by handing Count von Luxburg his passports, the foreign minister stated, but Dr. Molina's instructions did not provide for any explanation of the sit- uation to Germany. The foreign minister reiterated that there would be a rupture with Ger- many {f the latter’s explanation of the Luxburg incident was not absolutely satisfactory. He requested the sen- ate to abandon the proposed secret session set for yesterday to consider: the matter, as he prefers to make all explanations at a public session later in the week. Since recelving his passports Count von Luxburg, it is stated, has been cir- culating the statement that the idea of sinking Argentine ships ‘“without leaving a trace” was suggested to him by the foreign minister of Argentina as a means of preventin complica- tions. This statement was character- ized by Minister Pueyrredon as the «greatest, most shameful, harefaced lie” in his official experience. COUNTRY TURNS TO RICE.

Washington, Sept. 18.—Two stand- ard grades for potatoes are recom- mended by the food administration and the department of agriculture. The necessity for their adoption is emphasized in a department statement today because of the prospect for a large crop, the food supply situation, over taxed transportation facilities and the ruling that federal reserve banks may make loans against pota- toes property stored in approved ware- houses. In the first grade the min- imum diameter of the round variety is fixed at one and seven-eights inches and of the long variety one and three- quarters inches. The minimum diam- eter of the second grade is one and one-half inches. FEWER ATTEND LOWER SCHOOLS Boston, Sept. 18.—A marked falling off in the attendance in kindergart- en and primary grades of the public schools this fall 1s attributed by Franklin B. Dyer, superintendent of schools to the almost complete cessa- tion of immigration. He said that the number of pupils in these grades was about 2,000 less than last year. He estimates the reduction in attendance at the high schools, because of war conditions, at about 1,000. Dancing Class.

DALLINGER LEADS - ATTACK ON RIFLES Believes Connecticu’ Concerns Are Upsetting Labor Situatiow Washington, Sept. 18.—Debate on the war department contract for a million Enfield rifles at a cost-plus- 10-per cent. profit basls was revived in the house yesterday. Mr. Dal- linger of Massachusetts declared that under the cost-plus system contract- ors were hiring labor at unheard-of wages and in that way badly disturb- ing the labor situation in other fac- tories. He told of a man in his dis- trict receiving $60 a week as a laborer and doing nothing but keeping out of the way of government inspectors, and of a clerk who had obtained work as a carpenter on a govern- ment job and who, although without experience as a carpenter, was getting $7.50 each work day and $15 on Sun- days. Mr. Dallinger criticised the rifle contracts with the Winchester Re: peating Arms company, the Reming- ton Rifle Company, and the Reming: ton Union Metallic Cartridge Com pany. “It is not fair to other manufac: turers,” he said, “to allow govern- | ers resent this. original bill were appre secretary of war was authi cur obligations aggregating. 000 for ordnance and o plies in addition to made or pending, but ti $3,000,000 for an ordn: ing ground at Kent Islal apeake Bay, was eliminated” bill. ment work to be done on a cost-plus. 10-per cent. basis.
