CRISIS NEAR AS RESULT OF QUITTING OF

4 MINISTERS Special Session of Council Called in Effort to Avert Disorders in Russian Gov ernment. UKRAINE IS CAUSE PETROGRAD, July 17. Two demonstrations against the government resulted In the firing of -shots in the Nevsky Proepekt at midnight, as a result of which a number of persons were killed or wounded. The firing apparently was the result of stray shots which - brought on a panic, in which the demonstrators turned rifles and machine guns on each other. Quiet was restored after a few minutes. - The demonstrations' were organized by the Bolshevikl, the majority faction of the socialdemocratic party. I LONDON, July 17 A Petrograd dispatch says M. Stepanoff, acting minister of Commerce, also has resigned. PETROGRAD. July 17. Three members of the cabinet have resigned and a special session of the Council of Ministers has 'been convoked in an effort to avert a crisis. Their names are: A. I. Shingaroff. minister of finance; Prof. Manuloff, minister of education, and Prince Shakovsky, head of the department of public aid. The resignations of these cadet ministers followed a sharp disagreement over questions involving the Ukraine, an extensive region in Russia embracing part of the territories of the old kingdom of Poland. Premier to Entertain 'Em. Premier Lvoff has requested . the - ministers to meet at his private residence when the cause of the dispute will be considered.' t It Is known he will attempt to prevail on them to withdraw their resignations. . .. - The split In the ministry occurred last night at a ministerial conference called to consider a report submitted by M. Tereschtenko, minister of foreign affairs, and M. Tseretelll, minister of posts and telegraphs, as a re sult of . their negotiations concerning . the Ukranians. After the report was read the cadet ministers promptly took exception to the form of a declaration drawn by Mine. Tereschtenko and Tseretelll and agreed to the fact that these ministers without the authorization of the gov ernment took on themselves to commit the government to a . definite policy regarding the Ukraine. Are Only Delegates. Tereschtenko and Tseretelll, the cadet maintained, simply bad been chosen delegates to find a possible basis of an agreement in the Ukraine but had not been given the power of making a declaration In the name 'of the government. The ministers declared that upon receipt of fragmentary Information from the envoys of the ministry, Mme. Tereschtenko and Tseretelll, they specially warned the latter at the beginning of the Ukraine conference at Kiev that they must return to Petrograd to confirm the temporary government so that a . decision might be taken after mature deliberations by all the members of the ministry. In addition to this cause of complaint the cadet "ministers criticized the text of the Ukraine declaration. first because it abolishes all power of the temporary government in- the Ukraine; second, because it did not specify of what territories the Ukraine consists or make clear how it shall be governed. Executive Body Formed. After taking cognizance of views of M. Tereschtenko and M. Tseretelll and of a 'communication from War Min ister Kerensky on the subject, the provisional government decided today on the creation of an executive body to put into execution measures dealing with the administration of Ukraine. The personnel will be decided on by the government In agreement with the Ukrainians on the basis of equitable representation of other nationalities Inhabiting Ukraine." The provisional government will adopt a sympathetic attitude in regard to the elaboration of necessary measures, as well as a bill dealing with the solution of the Agrarian que tlon. In order to maintain the combative unity of the army, the government v'ill not countenance measures which might Injure the military organization and command, although it does not ob Ject to the creation of army units com posed exclusively of" Ukranians, sub ject to the approval of the war ministry. In order to permit settlement of this problem, special Ukrainian delegates may be attached to the war cabinet, the general staff and the staff of Continued On Page Seven.

Would-Be Officers Ordered To Report

At Cambridge City Richmond men who have applied for tho second officer's training camp are receiving notices to report to Cambridge City early in August for examination. As no notices have been received giving Richmond as the place for ex amination. It is thought' Cambridge City will be the examination point for this district. Late applications made a total of fifty-one for the Richmond office. Most of the men are from Richmond, but the towns nearby and the country also contributed, and one man from Dayton applied here. Indiana's applications numbered 2,241, with a quota of 448; and applications , for the entire central district were estimated at 30,000, of which more than 20,000 are to be examined, the remainder to be rejected. Applications ran away ahead of the quota in all the central states except Wisconsin, which has a large German population. Illinois has 4,000, with a quota of 971, Michigan 1807 and 482, Ohio, 2847 and 801, Missouri. 1849 and 525. LABOR IS AGAINST I. IV. W. Union labor is opposed to the recent activities of Industrial Workers of the World, whose recent terrorization of the west has brought about much criticism of organized labor, according to Robert Graham, a leader in the Richmond labor council. "The work of the I. W. W. is not sanctioned by any organized labor and all acts of violence committed by that organization are looked upon with dis favor by labor unions," Graham de clared today. "It Is the purpose of labor unions to build up the institutions of the country instead of tearing them down, while it appears that the work of the I. W. W. is nothing short of organized destruction." Race riots in East St Louis, which have been blamed upon the labor un ions, have not bad the sanction of the unions and are not the results of efforts of organized labor, according to Graham. START DRAFTING Last of week WASHINGTON, July 17. With only ten states remaining to be beard from on the organization of local exemption board and with the serial number lists of registrants from all but 649 of the 4,559 exemption districts on file in Washington, Provost Marchal Gen. Crowder was hopeful today that the preliminary stages of the war Army drawing would be completed within forty eight hours. He prepared to take up with Secretary Baker later fn the day details of the lottery process for final approval. If there is no unexpected delay it seems likely that the drawing can be held Friday or Saturday. A single district which fails to finish its preliminary work on time, however, can hold up action indefinitely. Once past the drawing stage, Gen. Crowder pointed out today, the necessity for concerted action by the states ceases and the examination of registrants and their assignment to the army or exemption can proceed in any state without regard to progress made in any other community. The ten states not having completed their preparations for the drawing are Alabama, Illinois, New York, Mich igan, Mississippi, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

FOE'S LOSSES ON WEST LINE ESTIMATED AT 350,000 MEN

Figures Compiled by French Front Statisticians Indicate Big Decrease in German Effectives. . IN SPRING OPERATIONS FRENCH FRONT, June 25. (Correspondence of The Associated Press) Severe inroads have been made on the strength of the German troops holding the line on the Franco-British front during the attacks delivered on them in the months of April, May and June. An estimate made on well established averages demonstrates that their losses must approximate 350,000 men. Before the spring operations of the French and British began, the German front had been divided into two sectors entirely independent of each other. One faced the French between the Oi8e and the Swiss frontier and was under the command of the crown prince. The other confronted the British from the North seat to the Oise and was commanded by the Bavarian crown prince. Had 147 Divisions. At the beginning of the FrancoBritish offensives the Germans had at their disposal on the whole front stretching from the North Sea to Switzerland 147 divisions, of which 105 were actually in the front line and 42 in the rear ready for employment at any point where their help was needed. These reserve divisions , were about equally distributed in the North' ern and Southern sectors. The situation on the Russian front permitted the Germans to detach some of their active divisions, from that side and at the same time they formed sev eral new divisions, which they brought to the French front, so that on June 20, the number of their divisions facing the French and British was 155, in spite of the fact that they had replaced the active divistons brought from Russia by landwehr units sent from this side. 23 Twice Engaged. - -Th-strength of 4h- Gecnaa force on -the Franco-British front cannot, however, be calculated exactly from the number of their divisions, for no fewer than 112 of the 155 have been thrown into the battles at various times and 23 of them have been twice engaged, thus totalling in reality 135 divisions which have been In action. ' As a general -rule a division is not withdrawn from the fighting line until-it has, lost one-third of its effect ives and thus the German losses may be fairly accurately, gauged. For in instance, a German division nowadays when at full strength numbers approx imately 7,500 Infantrymen. Therefore, the 135 divisions, which have passed through the fire have in all probability each lost 2,500 killed, Continued On Page Five. Prison A waits Men Who Resign From Exemption Boards NEW YORK, July 17. New York city will not delay the selective draft drawings in Washington, according to aepuiy attorney general ttosooe a. Conkling, who estimates that the task of preparing the lists from which the first men drawn are to be "chosen would be -completed tonight.

The gov ernmeni snip ouuaing program con tinued at a standstill today and there was no Indication when Major General Goethals, manager of the Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation, would proceed with, his plans for requistionlng and speeding up construc tion, of merchant ship building In Am erican yards. General Goethals transmitted to Chairman Denman of the board information regarding his program request ed yesterday. No one on the shipping board would say today whether the general manager's program would be approved. Some members of the shipping ooard, including Chairman Denman, want more wooden ships built than General Goethals has provided for. The delay in going ahead with ship building is charged by General Goe thals directly to Chairman Denman, although Mr. Denman contends that the shipping board is not seeking to hamper General Goethals In any way.

INCREASE IN POPULATION OF NORTHERN CITIES HIT

Attention Called to Boosting of Numbers in Big Centers Above Mason Dixon Line by Draft Officials. INJUSTICE IS CHARGED WASHINGTON, July 17. A storm of criticism of the inflated population estimates of northern states which, it is .alleged, will result in more young men being drafted in northern than in southern states in proportion to actual population, broke over Washington today. . After a heated debate in which Senator Brandegee likened this draft policy to "playing with loaded dice," the senate adopted his resolution calling upon the secretary of commerce to furnish the population estimates upon which the number of drafted men has been apportioned to the states and to explain the process by which the census bureau arrived at these figures. Boosted Chicago a Million In the debate attention was called to the fact that Chicago, for the purpose of the draft, has been credited with a population more than a million in excess of the most extravagant claims ever made by the most enthusiastic Chicago booster. That the population estimates for scores of other northern cities are equally fictitious was also demonstrated Dy senators, Democratic as well as Republican, who criticized the policy pursued by the administration. The southern senators sat 6ilent when their northern colleagues read the estimates of the population of southern states furnished to the war department by Census Director Rogers of North Carolina. These estimates credited the, southern states with no increases and frequently with decreases in the population. May Hold up Drawings. When the full extent of the congressional outburst was realized y the ad ministration thereT waa liurrjed con; ference between Director Rogers and war department officials- on the crisis on the draft plans. Provost Marshal General Crowder and Mr. Rogers contend that the draft apportionment works no injustice upon any community, but they are clearly worried over the situation. As matters stand tonight it may be stated that if the storm of protest, subsides the draft will be carried out on the basis of the announced population estimates. If it does not subside it is not unlikely that the draft drawing scheduled for this week will be held up pending a settlement of the issue, possibly by President Wilson. Gov. Lowden's Comment.

Walton's Disciples Plan Spring Drive On Finny Fellows

Pity the poor bass! In the last two weeks more than fif ty fishing licenses have been issued to Wayne county men who are planning to invade the home of the bass in northern Indiana lakes for the next month. Practically all of the "old guard" of fishermen have obtained li censes and there are a number of new applicants. The war apparently has little effect on the fishermen of the county as the number of licenses issued so far in July has exceeded that of last year. ST. SWITHIN'S DAY LEGEND EXPLODED St. Swithin's Day, if thou dost rain, For forty days it will remain. St. Swithin's Day, if thou be fair, For forty days 'twill nae mair. Weather records for Richmond, during the last seven years have shown that the old legend is "bunk," like the one about the ground-hog day. Sunday St. Swithin's day was fair and according to the legend, forty days of sunshine should have followed. But the traditional superstition was shattered Monday when it rained. Weather records since 1912, as compiled by Walter Vossler, chief engineer of the Richmond City Water Works, show that it rained in' 1912, 1913, 1914 on July 15. In 1915 and 1916 and this year the day was bonedry. It rained eight consecutive days during the post-Swithin period of July 15, 1915, and it was a bone-dry day on July 15. With rain falling on the day in 1912. the entire period, with the exception of five days, was dry. It rained again In 1913 on July 15 and seven days of rain followed. During the period of 1914 there were three rainy days. JUDY TO PROBE FORCED EXODUS FLAT RIVER, Mo., July 17. A special grand jury to inquire Into the expulsion last week of foreigners from the lead belt of Southeastern Missouri, has been summoned to m next Monday and prosecuting officials have announced that a rigid investition of the disorders is to be mad--. Although there were no- disturbances yesterday, as a precaution, the guard about the lead belt was increased today. Major Stepp, commanding the state troops here, advised Governor Gardner that he is confident a sufficient number of guardsmen to prevent a renewal of trouble are on the ground. The troops are well equipped, have an ample supply of ammunition and have been given orders to preserve the peace. All liquor found in the district is being destroyed and no deliveries of intoxicating drinks will be made until permanent quiet is assured. About half the mines in the Flat River district have resumed operations but on a smaller scale than before, due to the exodus of the foreign born laborers In other mining towns in this section work has been begun at nearly all the shafts. However, nothing regcrding settlement of the differences between the American born miners and the companies has been done, the companies making it clear that a settlement could not be made until all possibility of mob law has been eliminated. Many of the leaders of the outbreak who had been in the district only a short time now have disappeared. Four men were arrested last night. one of them for distributing inflam matory hand bills, calling on the American born population to finish the work of expelling the foreigners. The other three were taken In charge as a result of information that they had threatened a native resident who gave shelter to a foreign family. ;

Story of Washington's Burial Contained In Old Newspaper; Owned By a Richmond Woman

Story . of. .the death, of General George Washington is contained in a paper, 117 years old, owned by Mrs. Alice T. Ranks, 1121 Ridge street. The paper, old and crispy, four col umns wide and two sheets, was found by Mrs. Ranks among many old relics which were owned by her late husband. The paper was published at King ston, N. Y., January 4, 1800. and the story of the burial of Washington isn't printed on the front page but on the inside of the paper. Reporters Would Have Gone. There would have been several reporters fired, to say nothing about a city editor, If Washington had lived and died during these last few years, and the story of his death had been handled like the Ulster County Gazette did. Then as now war was raging in Europe and no little fear that the United States would become involved in it was entertained, the same as that preceding the present war. People were working up the war which finally was declared on England in 1812. The following is the story about the incarceration of Washington: Here It "Story." ' WASHINGTON ENTOMBED.

PEACE PLANS TO BE Gl CHANCELLOR BY MAJORITY

Block Expects to Submit Program to Michaelis When He Appears Before Reichstag Thursday. HIIJTZE URGED FOR JOB COPENHAGEN, July 17. The selection of a successor to Foreign Secretary Zimmermann was still unsettied yesterday. Pressure was being brought from two directions to block first, the proposed nomination of Count Brockdorff-Bantzau, the German minister at Copenhagen, and to substitute Admiral Von Hintze, mln-if-ter to Norway, or Count Von Bernstorff, former ambassador to Washington. V The present minister to Christiania Is greatly desired by pan-Germans and advocates of a supervigorous policy not only on account of his high diplomatic qualifications but chiefly on account of his antecedents. Apparently, it is felt that a former naval officer, particularly one who played such a prominent role as M anils In the events of 1898, will offer the necessary guarantee that the German foreign policy in regard to peace negotiations will be afterwards conducted along desired energetic lines. The emperor is said to favor Von Hintze. Bernrtorff Boom Launched. The Bemstorff party which sprang up since the return of the ex-ambassador, Is endeavoring to organize a boom for him. George Bernhard. the political writer, enthusiastically recommends Bernstorff to Chancellor Micheelis not only as a capable and experienced diplomatic but as a person of the necessary calibre and qualifications, whom the chancellor will need as co-ad jutor and adviser in the coming peace negotiations. Chancellor Michaelis is described in special dispatches from Berlin as working night and day on his program - speech and the selection of new mateistration. The Lokal . Anzeiger says ' the changes have been completed and the nc chancellor-will appar to the Rei-' cbstag accompanied by all his new colleagues. The Tageblatt says Herr Michaelis is reticent on his policy. The Reichstag is expected to adjourn Friday until September, first voting the war credits almost unanimously. A dispatch from Berlin says the majority block plans to present peace terms in a resolution to the Reichstag 1 hursday , and to demand from Dr. Michaelis a statement that he accept it in principle, otherwise co-operation is impossible. Meanwhile, the execution of this plan depends upon the extent to which the block holds together. The Tageblatt, the Mittags Zeitung and the socialist organ, Vorwaerts, all of Berlin, unite in declaring that the candidacy of Admiral Von Hintze for foreign minister is a move of the su-pr-annexationists. The Tageblatt and Vorwaerts warn Dr. Michaelis that he cannot accept Von Hintze without compromising the administration with a pan-German taint The Deutsche Tageszettung supports Von Hintze's candidacy.
