KEEENSKY UNABLE TO HOLD RUSSIAN ARMY; MAY TURN TO GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS ? I * Petrognid, July 23.?Russia today stands upon the edge of a yawning abyss, Kerensky, now dictator, has or- j dered all deserters to be shot on the j spot. But from a detailed official i teiesram sent to the govehnment from . ^ its commissioner at the front, it seems j evident that at the precnt rate of desertions there will not be enough loy4 al troops left to form firing squads. The utter disregard of authority is spreading fast among,the navy. ArHHl rests of high army and navy officers HU^are a matter of hurly news. Petrojfc Wgrad still is under martial law. A ^^Accmter revolution seems imminent, no one knows who will lead I?SS8 who will allow itself to' be led HiW Is Helpless. The council of workingmen's and B soldiers' delegates, now allied with BL the council of peasants of all Russia, m Btill dominates the situation, but there m has been much disaffection among its! ^ ranks. Scores of influential leaders j J have aligned themselves with the tfoiehiviki and Leninites. Even a Kerensky appears at this moment, helpless to restore any degree of unity and aggressive spirit at the front. The eyes of millions of sol? diers and moujiks are turned to the grim prison walls that harbor the on- j V ly outstanding military leader in I Russia?-Grand Duke Nicholas Nich-1 I olaievitch, uncle of ihe deposed czar. | I He alone, with his iron energy andj k with a brilliant military career be- i hind him, is looked upon by the bulk of j Russian soldiers as the man capable) , of resuscitating the offensive spirit, | * Kerensky, with his inspiring patriot-1 n .. ism, fearlessness and flamboyant elo ! ? quence, is worshipped by the masses, but to the Muscovite armies, instilled as they are by the traditional devotion ; Iand blind obedience to a leader wnose name is linked with victories, with ac- j tual achievements in the field ?to j these armies the young civilian now bt the head of the state does not emfctiy war and victory. IK^'V Steal Arms. until today did the full extent of the havoc wrought by the "red guards" in the last few days' minature revolts become known. Out of | the ai-eenal in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul, they had stolen thous ands of rifles, revolvers and machine JT guJM destined for the army. Many of the cases broken open had just come from America. Most of these arms have been recovered. The rebels are being systematically disarmed. ^ Pitiful scenes took place in the bis-' H| toric old fortress prison ,while the rfc-' |H bele engaged in their orgies of loot-1 ing. It is there that many of the most WW notorious political prisoners are held., SBt Some of them went mad with fear. Iff^Tliey thought an outraged people was reaming to visit terrible revenge upon them lor the graft and terachery of czardom days. From the one cell came a woman's r whining entreaties to the armed guards in the corridors. She begged for poison so she might end it all before the avengers lynched her. The J prisoner was Mme. Soulhomlkioff, wife P of the former war minister whose official career was found to be steeped in aj-k {j**** v. In another cell the man whose proved treachery marked the beginning of the end of imperial Russia, Boris Stuermer, the former premier, collaps- j ed from fear and remorse.

At any rate, the efforts were frustrated "by the fortress guards. Meanwhile in the palace prison at | Tsarskoe-Selo, Nicholas Romanoff,! p--w while planting potatoes in the garden,! I in some mysterious manner heard of! the news of the raid on the ancient' , fortress where he in his time has buried thousands alive.

V A V A XT Z* ETPJ JTENTA L TO LAW AM) REVENUE. I i Columbia, July 22.?The attorney j general's e'fi.ce is besieged with re-j quests for information as to the carry-; ing out of the game laws of the state, in view of the vacancy in the office of chief .game warden, and most of these communications evidence the fine re- j suits which have been acheived during: the past four years under the admin-j istration of Col. Alfred A. Richardson,' who has been ousted by Governor Man-; ning simply because Colonel Richardson happens to belong to the Reform, party of the state. In reply to a letter from an^Orangeburg warden today, Assistant Attorney j General Claud N. Sapp said: j "You state that the schools of Orangeburg county reecived about $1,000 from the above source during tlie past yer.r, and as there is no chief game warden at present to supervise j and administer the affairs of the camej warden'3 department of the State, you j can readily see the importance of the ' individual wardens of the various j counties making every effort to keep j close check upon the funds arising j from the enforcement of the law." In answer to the request from the j Orangeburg warden for information in j the matter of issuing licenses, the asj sistant attorney general held: ; "Your letter of the 18th inst. to the I attorney general has been handed me | for attention. You enclose a form of j 'the State and county hunting license I 1 | which was in use last year and ask as J j to whether or not these are the proper j | forms for use during the current year, j ! "In reply thereto I beg to advise I that since the office of chief game i I warden is now vacant, hunters' licen-; I ses can only oe issued by the game 1 wardens of the counties and clerks of court. The forms enclosed by you, 1 j think, are the proper forms, except I tV.pv should be siened bv vou as game | warden for Orangeburg county. j "There being no chief game warden at this time, it will be necessary for you to keep an itemized statement of the cost and expense incurred by you in the enforcement of the game laws in your county in order that the same may be filed with the State treasurer at the time you remit to him the mon-j eys collected in your county, as required by law. This you should be \ very particular in doing, as your record will be the only record by which the amount of funds arising from the enforcement of the game la.ws to which j the schools in Orangeburg county will i be entitled, can be determined." . } CROWDER TIGHTENS ! DRAFT PLAS Refuses Exemptions to Hig Own Office Force as Example to Local Boards of Nation. j | Washington, July 23.?The draft has passed from the hands of the govern- j ment into control of the states. The final word to each state is: j "Allow few exemptions. Be strict and' investigate each case carefully." j Provost Marshal General Crowder, { father of the draft, set this example j today himself, at the same time blast- j * ?/\-f ^ViAiioon/lo nf faHoM 1 lllg lliC iiupcd VI uiuiisauuj ui tvuv.w , employees who believed their names | on government payrolls would exempt them. General Crowder refused exemption j claims for six of his civilian employ- i ees, men who had aided him in pre-j paring for the draft and who them-j selves were drafted for the first call. | Hp refused to make affidavit that the m?n were vitally necessary to the, conduct of his work, as is required by the law. One of the men was his personal stenographer. As a resuit i fha mAn If nhvsicallv fit. will have tO serve. Hits Home. General Crowder's action is a direct j blow at hundreds of wealthy youths, who flocked to what they considered j the protection of a government pay-1 roll when the selective conscription; law was passed. They worked for small wages in menial positions be-1 cause of the report that all empoyees. of the government would be exempted in a body. Strange as it may seem, a' large proportion sought refuge in the war department itself. The master lists were all readv to| be mailed tonight. They had been! checked and rechecked and verified' many times and finally printed by the; government printing office. Work of j mailing them will begin early tomor-j row.

HAM TELT.S HOW PRESIDENT DIRECTS THE WAR I F!y Ham Lewis. Senator from Illinois.) 'Written for the International New? Service. Washington, July 24.?President Wilson today took hold of the army and navy in the big practical way to - ? ? I win tne war. He did three pertinent, patriotic things: He signed the $640,000,000 aviation bill. He ended the shipping board row by ousting the whole crowd. His secretary of the treasury sent to congress a request for a $5,000,000,000 budget to provide for the men who are to make war. PronMont Wilson's signature to the aviation bill turns loose a great appropriation for a great drive in machines. As soon as Germany heard that this nation intended to build an enormous air fleet, she apparency set her eyes in the same direction. The greatest air fleet in the world "will win this war. President Wilson's nuick signature is not only a great. patriotic action, but lit is indicative of a keen sight into the future. The country must produce and produce fast. And with this action of the president, we will soon see a great fleet taking shape. There must be no hesitancy, no dissentions, no disputes. Diversities mea~ disaster. Must W On. President WiJson, fully aware of this, temporized with the disputing shipping board men just long enough to see that it was impossible to bring them to an amicable adjustment. He knew that one of the greatest problems that confronted the nation? transportation of her men and supplies to the other side?must be worked cflwt hat the coun uui sj;ccuu.?. ng u>... try was losing valuable time and immense tonnage through discord in the board. He summoned the diverging principals several times, but could not harmonize the differences. Today came the inevitable. hotlVOPTl Whatever tne uiunciaco > General Goethals and Mr. Dnemao, whether one was right and the other wrong, the president saw that we were not getting along with the shipping program as we should. We needed ships, we needed them now. All of the visiting commissions, British, French, Russian, Italian?told us their nations cried for ships, more shipa and still more ships. The building program was delayed just how much is probelmatical to a man outside of the shipping board. But whether that delay meant the loss of one ton or a million tons a month it. should not have been and would not have been had there been complete harmony in tne Doara. The request for the $5,000,000,000 means plainly that the limited States army will be fully fed, clothed and equipped1 for the moment the young men enter the service until they are mustered out when peace fias been declared.

' I think every ailing person ought to take Tanlac," declared Mrs. Girtle Haguewxjod, of 60 Riverside, Anderson, in a satement she gave May 26th. "I suffered from an aggravated liver; trouble and kidney trouble and was on the verge of a general breakdown when I began taking Tanlac. I had dizzy spells that would be so bad I would fall and I suffered a great deal from this and the pain that went t-1- ljTvr with the attacks of liver trouoie. My back hurt me so terribly that I would hare to have help to get out of bed, and I had the most awful attacks of sick headache imaginable. My skin had become so dark that I was almost brown, because of the liver trouble. I was just barely able to be up and I could not work. "Ruf tho Tanlan ,?ot me in fine shape, and I am strong and hearty now. My skin has cleared up a lot and I do not have those dizzy spells nor the headaches now. I have a fine appetite and I never belch up my food like I used to. The Tanlac got my kidneys and back in fine condition, too, and I'm not troubled with backache now. It is a great medicine.

Besides the additional sums needed for the American war program, Seej retary McAdoo told the senate com|tmittee that the $3,000,000,000, authoii ized for loan to the allies probably would last only until October and that about $2,600,000,000 for their further assistance would be needed. ProsiviOTi for this, however, is not planned in connection with pending revenue 'legislation. It probably wall be considered at the next session. No Recommendations. The secretary made no recommendatons as to what part of ihe total should be raised by taxes and what part by bond issues or other credits. j It was reported, however, that tne treasury department would favor ' raising $1,000,000,000 more than had been planned in taxes, making the bill $2,670,000,000. As to the tax sources to be tapped to meet the new estimates, the committee for the present is at sea: Mr. McAdoo's announcement came entirely without warning.
