(FRENSKY AGAIN |FRANK GLICK, PRINCETON'S FOOTBALL ‘ STAR, ARRIVES AT CAMP UPTON, YAPHANK HAS HIS OWN WAY CTocment Reached With Dem- fcratic Congress and Bourgeois Pctrograd, Oct. 9.—After a confer- of three hours of ernment, with members of including Premier a delegation repre- 1y the democratic congress, and il representatives of the bourgeols, complete agreement was reached on si qucstions. The premier declared ; government purposed im- ‘ly'lu form a complete cabinet, L0t the reconstituted coalition tiiment might be able to go to = at once on the basis laid down. View of the government’s objec- » the representatives of the demo- tic congress withdrew thelr re- t that one of ticipate in the forthcoming inter- ed conference in Paris. i _ M. Tseretelli, at a secret session of © preliminary parliament, an out- i fowth of the democratic congress, p esterday outlined the negatiations Vith the government, Wwhich, he said, ed to a speedy agreement on all jpoints except the responsibility of the government to. the preliminary parlia- pnent. The question was settled, he dded, by an agreement that the par- flament should be convoked officially nd organized by the government. T’he parliament would include 120 ‘epresentatives of non-democratic Blements, who would have the right fto interpellate the government, which must reply formally and juridically. fThe government would not be re- peponsible to parliament, but no cab- net could continue in existence with- out the confidence of parliament. The parliament indorsed the for- i mula covering the question of the re- pPonsibliity of the government to the | parliament by 109 to 84, 22 members bstaining from voting, An official statement issued today es at 780 the number of electoral districts from which are to be elected gnembers of the constituent assembly fwhich is to determine the country’s uture form of government.

All passenger trains scheduled to leave Petrograd vesterday, except for the front, were abandoned. The strike was carried into effect in spite of the warning given by M. Nikitin, minister strikers would have to an- swer charges of treason, and calling upon the telegraph operators to re- fuse to transmit the strike order. The railway strike which went into effect at midnight Sunday and which is intended ‘at the present time to affect through services has only been partially .effective, according to in- ‘formatigh ‘received from the ministry of Traffic today. Local trains con- tinue rufning, and the Finnish Rail- way ig also operating. No trains have left for Moscow or beyond from Petrograd. Premier Kerensky has received word from the Simteropol Railway union protesting its unwillingness to observe the strike order, declaring it Is unpartiotic. A similar attitude has been taken by the Vladivostok Rail- way employes. The strike plan contemplates the stopping of all local services tomorrow Rnd all traffic, freight, and passenger, on Wednesday unless the demands of the men for an increase in wages are granted. AN BLOCKADE WITH REFUGEES Daring Belgian Sends Motorboat Throngh Dangerous Zone Amsterdam, Sept. 20, (Correspond- xence).—The Belgian motor-boat Bcaldils, ran the blockade from Ger- many, flying a German admiral’s flag, and arrived safely in Holland with a load of prominent Belgian refugees. The incident has aroused much inter- est along the whole length of the Scheldt. The Scaldis formerly belonged to the Belgian government and was con- fiscated by the Germans, who fitted her luxuriously for use by the highest officers. A Belgian pilot, “Jeff’” Van Dingen, was given the post of cap- tain because of his intimate knowl- edge of the river. He frequently had the governor general on board and from the mast there generally floated an admiral’'s flag, for which every guard on the river and canals showed ect. “Jeff” early this month determined to make a serious attempt to conve) a group of prominent Bel- ho were in danger of on the Germans, and men were so weary of the Ge regime that th ling to risk their lives to escape. Jeff had orders to take the governor-general from Antwerp to Brussels on the following Monday. He ired that if he cruised northward on Sunday the guards along the Scheldt would think the governor-general was taking a short trip to the frontier. e started 8t noon, hoisting the admiral’s flag. The Belglan civilians were hidden below deck the captain and two assist- ants alone remaining ahove deck. They passed the forts of St. Marie and Philip de Paar] and by Liefkenshoek and Doel, their everywhere sa- Juted cermonicn the soldiers. At by thefr delegates | Frank Glick, Princeton’s football captain in 1915, has arrived at Camp Upton, Yaphank, L. L, where he will organize and direct camp athletics. He will be civillan aid to Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell. It would not be at all surprising if one of the biggest football games in the country took place at Camp Up- ton parade ground. The principal idea in coming is to give the men reserve hausted. A German patrol boat ap- proached, but no assistance being asked, it apparently did not dare to come alongside a boat flying the ad- miral's flag. By a friendly salute Jeft intimated that he did not need assistance. After some tinkering, the motors were made to work a little longer, and the tide also helped. Thus the vessel reached Dutch waters, where it was visited by the Dutch patrol and given enough gasoline to get it to the nearest port, where captain and pas- sengers were warmly welcomed. PEACE DEBATE I5 DECLARED OFF, Mr. Glick’s | power, to train them all to be 100 per cent. efficient physically and mentaly, and to keep them in the pink of con- dition. Relief frcm the monotony of | arills is also aimed at. Lively athletic season is expected at | this camp, as some of the country's best-known former stars are officers | at the cantonment. Among those at- tached to this command are Capt. Ed- | die Grant—old Harvard and Giant bascball player, and Capt. Bob Stor- er, once of Harvard. I | ists that “the Relchstag is of the opinion that the reply of the govern- men to the interpellation did not meet the intentions of the Reichstag.” The ‘Vossische Zeitung”’ declares this motion is a vote of censure for- mally directed against Dr. Michaelis, but really against Dr. Helfferich. “Vorwaerts" says that if the motion is adopted Chancellor Michaelis and his colleagues must resign or the Reichstag must force them to do so. Other newspapers demand a clear statement from the government on the peace resolution of the Reichstag majority. George Gothien, progressive mem- ber of the Reichstag, is quoted in a Berlin dispatch as having said at a meeting of the central committee of his party that, although the military situation was satisfactory, there was no hope of crushing Germany’s ene- mies on land. As for the submarine campaign, 7,000,000 tons of shipping had been sunk, he asserted, but no Michaelis Goes to Front Instead' of Speaking About War's End | Amsterdam, Oct. 9.—Owing to the various parties having convoked meet- ings to consider the situation arising from Saturday’s sitting of the Reich- stag, says a Berlin dispatch, the de- bate which, was planned for today has been postponed until Tuesday The chief subject of discussion will! be war aims, but, according to this dispatch, the Imperial Chancellor, Dr. Michaelis, has gone to headquarters. German newspapers which support the Reichstag majority severely cen- sure Dr. Helfferich,the minister of the Interfor, for his incapacity to respond to the, feelings of the Reichstag, and expect decisive’ happenings at the de- bate this week. They are of the opin- fon that the future of the government may depend on ‘the debate, in view of the motion of the Independent Social- disposition toward peace on the part of England was discernible. A ration ‘stem for foodstuffs had not been even introduced, and no one was able | ta say when the U-boat would make | England more inclined for peace. | “America cannot be forced to make | peace,” Herr Gothien continued. ‘We | cannot force America to pay a war indemnity. There remains only Eng- {land. But should we, in order to ob- tain an indemnity of 10,000,000,000 marks sacrifice 50,000,000,000 marks and anather half million men?” Germany's allies, Herr Gothien con- i tinued, were not inclined to continue the war for pan-German plans of con- quest, but were striving for peace by understanding and conciliation, while the pan-German clamor for annexa- tions was already in bad repute |amang them. He asserted that the |long working hours and insufficient | feeding at home increased the desire for peace among the workers, and that strikes might be expected if the war should be continued for aims of congquest. BRITISH ARMORED AUTOMOBILES HELP RUSSIANS ON A squadron of British armored motorcars is on the eastern front with the Russian army and is doing Poel the whole guard turned out. Close to the frontier the motor stopped, gasoline being almost ex- valiant work against the Germans. The cars were in the retreat from Galicia and by their courageous and EASTERN FRONT efficient work their crews did much to minimize the extent of the German | advances.

This is the month for filing the lists for purposes of estimat- ing taxation. The assessors wish to call public attention to the necessity of declaring jewelry, household fur- niture and personal property over certain values. Evidence of tempor- ary forgetfulness in this respect has heen noted on the part of some who have already flled their lists.

(UNEXPECTED TURN IN INQUIRY CHARGE [German Falsehoods Regarding Outrage Are to Be Shown Up Washington, D. C., Oct. 9.—The in- vestigation of the charges of disloy - alty against Senator Robert M.

The committee decided to call for {all availahle government records, in- cluding the correspondence in the Lusitania case, to clear away once {and for all the misunderstandings which have prevailed in some sections regarding the facts in connection with | the sinking of the vessel.
