W ASHINGTON. Sept. 10 The crisis
precipitated by the forced resignation
of General Korniloff as commander-in-chief
of Russia's armies is regarded
here as possibly the most serious of
many in that country's six months' ex
istence as a democracy.
The open fashion in which the de
posed commander demanded from Pre
mier Kerensky a virtual dictatorship
and the adherence to his plans of ex

Duma, and powerful members of the
Intellectual and military classes. Indi
cate that the Korniloff forces feel sure
they can succeed. Unless the differ
ences can be composed It Is feared
Russia may sink deeper into political
disorganization and fall prey either to
German conquerors or the threatened
monarchical reaction.
Desdpllne of Army at Stake.
It is understood here the chief point
at issue is the organization of the
army along; strict disciplinary lines,
Including the death penalty for soldiers
violating orders, advocated persistent
ly by General Korniloff. Although
Premier Kerensky has declared himself
for the Korniloff prpgramme. the pro
visional government has exercised a
check on the death sentence through
government reviewing commissioners
at the front.
Apparently General Korniloff de
spaired of improving the situation by
arrying out his frequent threats to
resign and finally became satisfied
that his influence was sufficiently
powerful to wrest the entire govern
ment from the provisional cabinet.
Kerensky Prepared for Trouble.
The provisional government's decla
tion of martial law in Petrograd and
the ' substitution of General Klembov
eky as commander-in-chief is accepted
as indicating that Kerensky does not
count on compromise tactics and is
ready to apply his policy of "blood and
Iron" if necessary against the "revolt.
A gleam of hope came from Foreign
Minister Tereschenko's statement in
an interview today that he believed the
revolt "not dangerous" and "partly du
to a misunderstanding which will be
cleared up."
In this connection it is explained by
persons familiar' with the vicissitudes
of Russian politics that General
Korniloffs action has no connection
with the recently disclosed plot to re
store the monarchy, but is intended by
its promoters only as the quickest
means to the common end of preserv
ing Russian democracy against Ger
many.

A number of times recently it has
Been denied by the provisional minis

Korniloff repeatedly has threatened to
resign if army officers were not em
powered to enforce discipline. It was
recalled that last May he resigned as
commander of the Petrograd garrison
Because workmen's and soldiers' dele
gates insisted on a referendum on mili
tary orders.
Just a week ago the provisional erov-
ernment, still applying its system of
review or death sentences by comroli

the Associated Press, from fragmen

the main facts.

Deputy Lvoff called him by telephone

At the Interview Lvoff declared that
he bad come as General Korniloffs
plenipotentiary to demand the surrend

RL Lvoff said that this demand did not
emanate from Korniloff only, but was
supported by a "group of political
workers," meaning an organization oi
Duma members, Moscow industrial in-
erests and other conservatives, which
had played the role of opposition at the
national conference at Moscow.

ject to Kerensky personally but de
manded that ne transrer tne portioiio
of war to M. Savinkoff, Assistant Minis
ter of War, who all along had sup
ported Korniloffs demands.
M. Lvoff added:
"If you agree, we invite you to come
to headquarters and meet General
Korniloff, giving you a solemn guar
antee that you will not be arrested."
Premier Kerensky replied that he
was amazed and described Korniloffs
ultimatum as an act of effrontery and
treason so incredible that he was un
able to believe his ears. Therefore he
resolved first to communicate with Gen
eral Korniloff direct. In an exchange
of telegrams, Korniloff confirmed fully
to the Premier his demands.
M. Kerensky then announced to M.
Lvoff that the provisional government
would not consent to such demands and
would take every possible step to crush
Korniloffs criminal conspiracy. Lvoff
was then placed under arrest and sub
jected to a severe examination, during
which he gave the details of the con
spiracy and the names of the promi
nent men involved.
Appeal Blade to Troops.
Premier Kerensky today also Issued
proclamation addressed to the army.
the fleet and the nation, and also to the
committees of the army at the front,
outlining the attempted coup of Gen
eral Korniloff through Vladimir Nico
laievltch Lvoff and the measures that
had been taken as a result.
Regarding General Lokomsky, the
Premier says:
The chief of staff. General Lokom
sky, also proved a traitor. He refused
to carry out the provisional govern
ment's order to assume command of
the armies in view of Korniloffs dis
missal, indicating to the provisional
government the possibility of civil war
on the front, the opening up of the
front to the Germans and the conclu
sion of a separate peace. The govern
ment is in full agreement with the
executive of the workmen's and sol
diers' deputies for taking measures for
the crushing of the counter-revolutionary
plot instituted by traitors to the
fatherland."
Capital Is Prepared.
After announcing the dismissal of
Korniloff and stating that he would be
punished for treachery, the proclama
tion adds:
"Against Korniloffs attempts to di
rect individual military detachments to
Petrograd, most decisive measures have
been taken."
The proclamation refers to the state
ments of the workmen's and soldiers'
delegates suggesting that the army
and navy ignore commands issued by
Generals Korniloff and Lokomsky, and
adds:
"All of the army organisations
should give the government and the
executives of the workmen ana sol
dlers decisive co-operation and support
in their struggle against counter-revolution.
The conspiracy has no deep
roots among the commanding force of
the army.
"It is necessary to preserve full calm
and firmness and to use every exertion
in the struggle with the external en
emy. All events and measures taken
by army organizations should be indi
cated to the workmen's and soldiers'
organization."
The" Cabinet late In the evening held
a session to consider parliamentary
measures to crush the revolt, which
measures have so far been Kept secret

Desire of Chief of Staff for Field Serv
ice Known and Question of Re
tirement la Uppermost.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. With Ma
jor-General Hugh I Scott, chief of
staff of the Army, reaching retirement
age this month, speculation has begun
at the War Department as to whether
he will be retained on active service
under the war-time emergency pro
visions of the law.
Secretary Baker declined today to say
what course he contemplated. There
are indications, however, that General
Scott will pass on to the retired list,
although he may be asked to continue
some special work. In this event Major-
General Tasker H. Bliss, assistant chief
of staff, may be appointed chief of
staff, although he, too, will reach the
retirement age in a few months and
probably would be succeeded by a
younger officer.
It is known that General Scott would
welcome an active command in the
field. In view of his distinguished
services on many occasions and the
known high regard for him entertained
by President WilBon and Secretary Ba
ker, it appears probable that an effort
will be made to gratify his wishes,
should it be determined to relieve him
of his staff post.
The pressure upon the chief of staff
will become increasingly heavy as
American forces abroad are enlarged,
and when they are holding a portion
of the western front great physical
vigor will be required to endure tho
strain.

Saturday night, the date the present

of the men who would be affected are

solitary confinement.
This morning at the same hour the
trouble broke out anew. The emer

The guards clubbed with their rifles
and apparenty succeeded in restoring
order.

is used by thousands as first-aid in
their fight against the tooth destroyer
"Acid-Mouth" which nearly all au

teeth. There is a "tang" to Pebeco
which gives your mouth a feeling of
refreshing cleanliness.
The least you can do to keep your
teeth healthy and free from decay is
to brush them with Pebeco twice a day.
Then see your dentist twice a year and
you will have a better-than-average
chance to keep your teeth for life.
Pebeco is sold by druggists everywhere
