WASHINGTON TAKES
MORE HOPEFUL VIEW
OF RUSSIAN CRISIS
Abandonment Of Korniloff
by Moslenn Troops a
Good Sign.
ALEXIEFF EXPECTED
TO WORK WONDERS
His Appointment as Chief of
Staff Welcomed in
America.

4 Washington. Sept. 1.-two devel-
opments in the Russian situation
caused officials here to regard it more
hopefully. They were:
The abandonment of General
Korniloff by Moslem troops and other
loft had probably placed much reli-
ance in his advance on Petrograd.
The appointment Of General Alexi-
eff, former chief, as
chief Of staff, under Premier Keren-
sky, who. had assumed the rank of
commander. -
The first was interpreted as an in
dication that the revolt was fast fac
ing collapse unless new help came
from sources as yet undisclosed.
The second was taken to mean that
General Alexieff, as chief Of staff, vir-
tually will be commander, since eKer-
ensky is not military man and his
assumption Of the chief command is
probably for psychological effect.
Alexieff probably can be counted on
to carry out the very reforms in army
discipline which Korniloff sought by
his coup.
General Alexieff. assumed command
Of the new armies under Z the first
provisional government and was re-
placed only recently by Kornilom be-
cation following the reyoIutiofIS de-
fmandad q change. At sthe MOSCOW
conference, he made a 4 speech de-
nouncing advocates OF loose discipline
and predicted serious consequences If
reforms did not come soon.
Despite the slightly more hopeful
aspect of the situation on the surface,
oficials and diplomats here do not
overlook that later advices outlining
more clearly the internal political
situation may show Russia's predica-
ment as still very critical.
