CIVIL WAR IN RUSSIA AVERTED BY SURRENDER OF KORNILOFF Ri^ssian Minister of Labor Announces That the Entire Adminis- tration and Organization of Army Will Be Modified. A despatch from Petrograd says: â€" | The Executive Committee of the Workmen's and Soldiers' Ik'putles and Peasanta' Delegates held a. general '. council on Thursday to diacuss the action of General Kornlloff. M. Skobeleff, Minister of Labor, an- nounced that the KornilofI adventure had collapsed completely, and that his Headquarters had surrendered. The Minister added that soon the whole administration and organiza- tion of the Uusslan army would be modilied. Me declared that the Gov- ernment had acted in full agreement with the Uevoluilonary Democracy, which had thus triumphed^ but that the victory ought not to lessen the vigilance of the Oovernment, because new attempts at a counter-revolution were possible through the criminal ac- tivity of Gen. Kaledlnes, Chief of the f'ossacks. M. Skobeleff concluded by saying that in the new Oovernment the presence of any elements suspect- ed of sympathy with Kornlloft ought to be rendered Impossible. M. Avskentelff, Minister of the In- terior, said on Friday that as a result of the Kornlloff revolt all t*io Rus.slan front for three days remained without the least defence and without com- mand. The severest penalty, he add- ed, ought to be inflicted upon (Jeneral Kornlloff, and that the Government would du nothing to mitigate his fate. The Government's task now, M. Avskentleff -eontlnued, would be to struggle against counterrevolutionary attempts, safeguard national liberty and defend the country against the foreigii enemy. NEV^FOUNDLAND WILL CO-OPERATE Chairman of Food Control Board Visiting Ottawa and Washington. A de.^palch from Ottawa says: â€" There Is to be close cooperation be- tween the Newfoundland and Cana- dian Food Administrations, lion. P. T. McGralh, Chairman of the .New- foundland Food Control Hoard and President of the Newfoundland Legis- lative Council, is at present in Otta- wa, and has had numerous conferen- ces with representatives of the Cana- dian Food Administration Newfoundland's most Immediate food problem Is to secure delivery of 400,000 barrels of flour for the next twelve months Salt bepf and salt pork to the quantity of 50,000 barrels are also needed. The colony is wholly dependent upon imports from the United Stales and Canada for its wheat flour, five sixths of which comes from this country, as also does seven- eighths of Its fresh meat. Salt beef and salt pork, however, are supplied almost wholly by the United States. After leaving Ottawa Mr. McGralh will visit Washington to consult with Mr Hoover and members of the Am- erican Food Administration with the special object of arranging for sup- plies of salt pork and beef, U-BOAT pSs MURDER CREWS Turn Guns on Sailors After the Boats Sunk.

A despatch from Washington says: Italians have taken from the Austro- . Hungarians the fortified hill of Dol and the Gargaro basin, and now oc- cupy the slope and top of Monte San ' Gabriele, after severe fighting. The ' Italian Embassy in announcing the capture on Friday, said it is the great- ' est victory gained by the Italians since i their entrance into the war. j Capture of all Austro-Hungarian I positions on Monte San Gabriele is ex- ' pected to be a matter of hours. The ' fighting in the region of the forest of ' Tarnovo was very severe, as the Aus- trians had assembled an enormous force of artillery there. The positions there were taken by infantry attack at heavy cost to the Italians. I The battle has been raging 20 days. , Last week the Austrians changed from defensive and began an offensive, us- j ing masses of their best troops against I the Italian positions. The loss of San \ Gabriele will mean for the Austrians, ; the Embassy says, the less of all the vantage points again. â- . the Gorizia i plain and the Frigido valley.

TO CHECK EXPORT OF COAL TO CANADA GERMANS SUFFER GAS ATTACKS Canadians Itombard Enemy at Lens With Heavy Guns. A despatch from Canadian Head- quarters in France (via London), says: â€" The Germans in Lens are given no rest. Early Thursday night they were subjected to a heavy bombard- ment from large-calibre guns. After they had been driven into their cellars and shelter galleries by shell-fire, gas was projected upon the enemy posi- tions shortly before midnight, . and again after three o'clock Friday morn- ing. Serious losses are believed to have followed. A prisoner who wand- ered into our lines in a dazed condi- tion, after our second attac1<, says the gas was almost immediately effective. He himself took only two inhalations before he got his mask on, but was seriously affected. The attack sur- prised many of the enemy in dugouts, where our gas is most deadly. HAIGINFUCTS SEVERE LOSSES Enemy Met V/ith Heavy Artil- lery Fire at Langemarck. A despatch from London says :â€" Thursday's attJek northwest of Lange- marck was a considerable affair. Un- usually heavy artillery firing warned our troops, so that when the Germans^ came on they met such an outburst of rifle and machine-gun fire that they wavered. But so dense were the aa- ! saulting waves that the attack reached close quarters, resulting in fierce hand-" , to-hand fighting. Our main line stood I fast, and the enemy suffered huge j losses. The enemy, who was jumpy, evident- ly wanted to test the efficiency of our defence along the rising ground be- tween St. Jean and Langemarck. The manner in which he is constantly mov- ing his artillery suggests uncertainty. Also in efficiency our counter-battery work, carried out with aerial aid, rend- ered it difficult for the enemy gunners to conceal their position. I The ground of the battle zone con- tinues bad, despite the drying weath- er. The non-porous clay shell holes hold water indefinitely, and in the in- cessant shell bursts these little lagoons ; throw up great fountains which keep the mud liquid. RUSS ADVANCE -♦- One Canadian Geta 15 Huns. A despatch from Canadian Army Heudquarters says: In the Lens region the l)oily of a Canadian who had penetrated the enemy line alone during an attack was found surround- ed by the bodies of fifteen of the en- emy, whom he had killed with bombs or his bayonet before he himself was slain. No other instance is known in the annals of the army where one man has accounted for so many foes. Xontrsal Karkata Montreal, Sept. 18 -Oats -Canadian Western. No. 2. 77Jc: do,.

A despatch from Washington says: â€" Continued export of coal to Canada in large amounts through Great Lakes ports at the expense of the North- western States 1*111 be checked immedi- ately by the Fuel Administration. Dr. H. A. Garfield, the Fuel Admin- istrator, on Friday requested the Ex- ports Administration Board to permit I no more coal to be shopped from the I country except under license restric- tions, and asked that no licenses be granted unless they are approved by the Fuel Administration. Coal here- tofore, along with other American pro- ducts, has gone to Canada under blanket licenses issued by Collectors of Customs. "The Fuel Administration," said Dr. Garfield, "does not intend to cut off Canadian exports, but with this super- vision it will be able to equalize the distribution of coal, and see that the Northwest and Canada both get their fair shares." FIGHT RAGES AROUND VERDUN Germans Enter French Trenches North of Caurieres Wood A despatch from Paris says: â€" The French advance line on a front of 600 metres north of the Caurieres Wood, northeast of Verdun, was entered by the Germans in an attack on Friday. The official communication from the War Office says that the fighting for i possession of the trenches is still go- . ing on. The text of the statement reads: "The artillery fighting was quite I spirited in Champagne and in the j region of the Monte . "On the right bank of the Meuse, ! after a violent bombardment, the Ger- j mans attacked the positions we cap- ' tured recently north of the Causieres Wood. On a front of about 500 metres the enemy succeeded in enter- ing our advanced line. The fighting continue.s." TOWARD RIGA Heiurt in Rumania Captured and ! 400 Prisoners Taken. t A despatch from London sayt : â€" The Petrograd -War Office report indl- , cates that no great amount of disaf- fection had occurred among the fight- ing forces, who In the region of Riga, near Sventsiany and In the Rumaniau , theatre were vigorously on the offen- sive against the enemy, and that along ' the line east of Riga and In Rutnanla at several points they had won suc- cesses over the Teutons. In the region of Riga the German cavalry was compelled to retire soutb of the Rtga-VVendeu Road, while In Rumania a height was captured from the Austro-Oermaus after a vigorous fight, and more than 400 men made prisoner. German positions to the south of Sventsiany, which lies be- tween Vllna and Dvlnsk, are be*ng heavily bombarded by the Russian guns. MUCH BOOTY TAKEN ON SERBIAN FRONT A despatch from Paris Says: â€" The enemy attempted reconnaissances on the Serbian front and against our posi- tions northwest of Monastir, but was repulsed. i^Ve captured some prison- ers. Artillery fighting is reported in the sectors of Monte and Monastir. Around Pegradec our troops are en- trenching themselve.-( in the ground captured recently. In this region we have taken a total of 378 prisoners, in- cluding 10 officers. We also cap- tured four mountain cannon, one 37- millimeter gun, eight machine guns and a considerable amount of w&f^ra.i.- terial, including more than one thou- sand rifles and six hundred cases of ammunition .
