RUSSIA
PETROGRAD, September 17
(Associated Press) Rus-
s sia has been proclaimed a repub
lic and a new constitution is to
be drafted,' submitted and adopt
' : cd. It is apparent that the more
radical elements will be given an
important part in this work. The
proclamation of the republic was
signed by Premier Kerensky on
Friday, September 14. .
Following the radical demands
of the Petrograd council which
' passed resolutions approving the
, program advanced by the Maxi
milists and the Balshi-Vikis: and
which among other things de
manded the- immediate establish
... ment of a republic of Russia,
Kerensky yielded and. issued the
., proclamation.
: CABINET OF FIVE
. For the time being all affairs
of state will be entrusted by the
. provisional government to a cabi
net to be composed of five mem
bers. This is declared to be in
view of the present extraordin
ary circumstances and the power
".' 'conferred upon the cabinet is
plenary.
It is apparent that the same
radical elements which controlled
. the Petrograd Council have se
cured control for the time at
. . least, of the soldiers and work
men's deputies. That body pass
i cd the same extremely radical
program of Maximilists which
the ..Petrograd council adopted.
. It provides for the establishment
, of the republic in the first place.
Then it demands the exclusion
$ ' , from office of all representatives
, of the propertied classes from
power, and the abolition of all
private rights to property. The
resolutions declared as reason
for their passage that the tragic
situation of the country required
the construction of a strong revo
lutionary power, free from all
possibilities of a compromise with
any counter revolutionary or
Bourgeois elements.
, - NEW CONSTITUTION
Following this action by the
deputies the provisional govern
; ment made the further announce
ment that it had been decided to
" convoke immediately a general
conference of representatives of
the whole organized democracy
for the purpose of settling the
question of a new constitution,
This'conference will be given the
power and capacity to call for
and assemble a constitutional
convention.
Tk position of the govenment last
,." night wa greatly improved not with
standing th continuance of tho revolt
of General Kaledinea and tbe Don Cos
sacks, the designs and purpoe of
which r atill la doubt in Petrograd
. mloda, The rank and file of the army la
wholly loyal to the provisional gov
eminent ai ia indicated by sweeping
. investigation that have been made,
' It baa developed 'that in the Korni
loff revolt many of the soldiers and
their officers as well, when they march
t& upon Petrograd had no knowledge
' ' ' of their objective and were free from
any suspicion- of conspiracy en the
part of Korniloff and in which he wii
- seeking' to involve them.
The grand council of Don Cossacks,
sitting at Nova Teherkatk, refused to
arreat Oeneral Kalediae but paesed re
solution proteating vigorously against
. the . charge that . the Cossacks ym
, pathiaud with any counter resolution
nnd declaring unswerving loyalty., to
the provisional government.

The order direct that commanding
officer of each organisation have a
copy of the order posted on the bulle
tin board of tho organization in order
that all member of the organisation
may have an opportunity of reading
and digesting the content thereof.:
Following i a brief outline of the
order: ' ' ,
"The Harrison Kareotie Act of De
cember 17, 1914, provide ia Section &.
with reference to opium and coca
leaves:
" 'That.it ahaU be unlawful for any
person not registered under the provi
sions of this Aetata hav in hi po.

said drugs; and such possession or con
trol shall be presumptive evidence of

"And in Section 9:
" 'That .r.ny. person who violate
n-T,i the requirement of this Aet
shall, on conviction, be fined1 not more
than S000, or be imprisoned for not
more than five year or both, in the
discretion of th court.'
".Any soldier muv be triH ...i. ,i.
ninety-eixth Article of war by court
martini for violation of tb above aet.
Protect Young 8oldir
"In order to proteot yonng-soldiers
from the insidious ravage of the opium
habit; nnd, at the same time, to pre
vent lukewarm eoldiera from seizing
upon opium as a means of securing sep
aration from the service in time of
war, the following ia ordered:
"Soldier are hereby forbidden to
use opium exeept when prescribed by
an army medical officer, to have in
their possession, or to enter (exeept in
pursuance of a i.iiliinry duty requiring
nuch entiy ) any ro. in, building, or other
place, where opium is unlawfully sold
supplied, bartered, given away, or
used.
"Ignorance of the nature of such
plane shall not be considered defense
for nn accused on trial before a court
martial. It ia hereby made the duty
of each person in the military aervice
to ascertain the nature of any such
place before entering therein.
Severity Insisted TJpoa
"All violations of this order will be
tried by general omirt martial; aud no
such court martial will be considered to
have done its duty if on conviction of
the violation of any part of this order,
it shall adjudge a sentence of less than
dishonorable discharge and confinement
for three yeara at hard labor."
Without doubt the Harrison Act has
made' it more difficult to secure drugs
than formerly or has nt least mad the
drugs far more costly to tbe user but
the habituated drug user will go to al
most ny end to secure hia favorite
dm; and ways and means, though more
limited, are still to be found despite
the effort of federal officials.
it has been suggested that if th
army wilt turn over to th department
of justice tbe evidence in court martial
showing when, where and how tho drag
was secured by the soldier who may
have been tried thnt It will be a valu
able ld to a still more stringent en
forcement Of the Harrison: Act.

NEW YORK, September 17
, (Associated Tress)
Following the temporary lull in
fighting on the west front fight
ing was renewed yesterday in
several sectors with a new vigor.
The German Crown Prince made
unsuccessful attacks on French
positions, the British made raids,
penetrated Hun positions, wreck
ed dugouts and defenses and
Berlin admits a reverse by the
Britons
On the Riga front a bloody bat
tle raged all day and, has not yet
been determined. ,
Against the Austrians the Ital
ians scored further advances.
ATTACKS REPULSED
All along . the Verdun and
Champagne sectors the French
were yesterday subjected to at
tacks directed by the German
Crown Prince. Point after point
he assailed, seeking some weak
ness, but all of his efforts were
ineffectual. His losses were
heavy the French claim, while
their own were not important as
their positions have been great
ly strengthened during the past
few days during which they have
enjoyed comparative immunity
from attack.
DEFENSES DESTROYED
Southeast of Arras the British
forces conducted a successful
raid. Following an intense bar-
age the Tommies dashed forward
and Went far into the enemy's
territory. Dugouts and other de
fenses were raided and smashed
and a number of prisoner and
gtins were taken. Other larger
guns were made useless to the
enemy.
In last night's official report
Berlin admits a "local British
success" on the Ypres-Menine
road, giving no details.
BATTLE UNDECIDED
Thirty miles northeast of
Riga a stubbornly fought battle
was in progress throughout the
day. Whether the Teutons made
an attack in force or whether it
is only a feint is uncertain. Re
ports say that no decisive results
vere secured and the Russian
forces held their .positions.
AUSTRIAN REVERSE
On the Isonzo front, fhe Ital
ians advanced their lines both on
Saturday and yesterday to the
southeastern edge of Monte San
Gabrielle and now hold the posi
tions above and dominating those
of the Huns, whose counter at
tacks must all be directed from
the lower ground. The heights
taken command a large stretch
of territory and the reverse to the
Austrians is an important one.
