Washington. Pleased.

Washington, Sept. 13.-News of
Premier Kerensky's determination to
instil better discipline into Russia $
armies created almost as much gratifi-
cation here today as reports that Cen
eral Korniloff's revolt was falling and
civil war averted.
If Kerensky succeeds in his dis
cirlinary program Korniloff's attempt
ed coup will have borne good fruit.
Kerensky's plan is believed to be to
restore discipline by giving military
commanders full authority to dictate
military movements: by roofing out
the persistent interference of soldiers
committees with commanders orders,
and by retaining the present system OF
government civil commissioners at the
front.
