A THROUGH TICKET
Via
Chicago, Milwauke & St, Paul Ry.
WHY
By buying a through ticket you save from $10.00 to
$15.00 as against buying to Seattle and re-buying
there.
By buying over the G. M. & St. P. Ry. you are as
sured the comfort that comes from riding behind an
electric locomotive—the most powerful in all the
world— and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” service.
For tickets, berth reservations and other parti
culars consult your nearest Steamship Agent.

KORXILOKF LAUNCHED REVOLT
.... TO THWART GERMAN'S
PETROGRAD, Oct. 12.—The last
army order Issued by General Kornil
off as comroander-ln-chief, reprlntdM
in the Novala Zhlzn from a Mohilev
newspaper, tends to show that Kornll
off was compelled to launch his re
volt largely in an effort to thwart
German plans. '
The order says it had been learned
that German agents had brought
about the great Are in Kazan, and ex
pended millions of rubles In disor
ganizing the coal mines in the River
Don region and that the Germans
were proposing a general offensive
along the whole front for the purpose
of forcing a disorganized Russian re
treat. The Germans also had planned
to blow up the bridges across the Riv
ers Dnieper and Volga and were or
ganizing a movement of Maximalists
In Petrograd.
General KomilofT, the article adds,
had reason to suspect treason among
irresponsible Russian organizations
In German pay. Not doubting that ir
responsible influences had the upper
hand in Petrograd and that Russia
was on the brink of an abyss, took an
extreme decision for the purpose of
saving the fatherland:
