I was in Petrograd during these
developments and can attest the I'm.
truth of the statement that the allied
citizens there were against Korniloff.
On the contrary, he represented to
them a new hope of a Refrigerated

told of Korniloff's approach toward
the city.
Not even the possibility Of bloody
battle in the streets deferred the in
dividual, that a new Russian army
might be born.
Foreigners in Petrograd all knew
Korniloff could not restore the Rom
anoffs. They did believe he might
furnish an iron hand for Russia; de-
velop into a man of the hour, like
leaders have developed in other coun-
tries, who could dominate.
If one desires glowing optimism Of
Russias situation, he can obtain it

WAS
STUNG TO REVOLT
Real Soldier Could Not Tolerate
Civilian Control of all
Russian Army
Affairs.

IBy William G. Shepherd. United
Press Stuff Correspondent
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 28-The court
martial of General Korniloff will
probably result in a tragedy.
Korniloff is to be judged by those
whose scheme of making the war
subject to civilian control stung him
to revolt.
Men under domination Of the
soviet, or all-Russian council Of work
men and soldiers, will constitute the
courtmartial to try the former com
mander in chief.
1t was the soviet influence which
Korniloff, the soldier, the fighter,
the man unskilled in politics, feared
was crumbling Russia's army away
The soviet hates Korniloff
One Of the main reasons why Gen
eral Korniloff attempted the over
throw Of Premier Kerensky was the
provisional governments appointment
at dictation Of the soviet-of thirty
"commissaires' who went to the
front, representing the government
than the generals of the army them
selves. The "commissaires" were all
civilians, frequently they were all
The commissaires protected the
soldiers against their superior army
commanders. Russian officers invar-
iably called them 'Kerensky's spies"
Army commanders were compelled to
submit their military plans to the
Judgment of the commissaires.
With one army of the commissaires
was Kerenskys nephew-a youth in
the twenties. He had the final word
over all troops there. He lived like
a lord. Limousines were at his dis
posai. ise felt his power and he ex-
ercSznts J.. Moreover, he always pro-
tected the soldiers against their Of
ficers.
Korniloff saw this SYSTEMS work
ings. Stern disciplinarian that he
was, he decided it was impossible to
lead an army so formed and controll-
ed. He held it the most grotesque
military system in history 1t was
in Korniloff's view, that
an army so weakened in discipline
and so controlled by civilians who
knew nothing of strategy, could ever
protect Russia in her new found
freedom.
Therefore, Korniloff revolted. 1t
was his idea of patriotism to his

Keokuk merchants will have an

GREEK FLAG
is RECOVERED
Local Greek Residents Give Reason
They Did Not Participate in Re-
cent Parade With En-
blem of Home.

| The blue and white stripes ant
cross of the flag of Greece, one of the
allies Of the United States in the wal
against the central powers, will float
at the head of a procession OF loca
residents of Greek blood at the nex'
public loyalty demonstration.
The flag did not move with the
Stars and Stripes, the Union Jack and
the Tricolor in the procession the
night before the last Lee county quota
Of selected men left for Camp Dodge
and the reason has raised the ire OF
the local Greek residents and they
have asked a public explanation OF
the matter.
In the last quota of selected men
! were two men Of Greek blood, one
from keokuk and one from Fort Madi'
son. One was to carry a large Ameri,
can flag in the farewell parade and
the other large silk Greek flag.
which the local Greeks had made to
order several years ago at cost OF
$35. Keokuk Greeks, -thirty-tive strong
were to march in a body behind the
two selected men.
The Greeks met at an appointed
place a half hour before the parade,
ready to participate in the procession
and one was sent to the K. G. hall,
where the flag was kept, to secure the
mblem. 1t was missing. According
to James PapaJohn, it was learned
that local Greek resident had OBJ
tanned the flag and upon being asked
to turn it over for the parade, refus-
ed, asserting that the Greek flag
could not be carried along with the
American flag as Greece was not in
the war.
When the news of the refusal to
turn over the flag reached the delega-
ton of Greeks it dampened their en-
thusiasm and many refused to march,
and only about seven of the thirty
five were in the procession. Accord
ing to Mr.. Papajohn another and
later attempt was made to secure
possession of the flag and this time
the holder said that had been de-
stroyed by rats. This week Mr.. Papa
john learned that it had been turned
over to another party and was being
held as Security for bill alleged to
be owed by Greek residents. No such
bill existed, it is said, and demand
was made on the holder to turn over
the flag, with legal action threatened.
This was done yesterday and now
the flag is ready to float with the
other allied flags in any future pro-
Icession. Greece declared state Of
war existed with Germany shortly az
ter Constantine was deposed and the
Greek flag has as much right to float
with the Stars and Stripes as any of
the other flags of allied countries.
The flag concerned In the forego-
ing was made to order here in 1912
at the time Greece was fighting In
the Balkan war against Turkey. 1t
floated over two Greek columns of re-
servists who left Keokuk to fight for
their country 1t is of silk and cost
S35 the money being raised by sub
scription among Keoluk Greeks. The
committee that arranged for the flag
was composed Of James Papajohn,
James Dadas and Alex Boukides.
Since that time it has been kept in
x. c. hall until the recent trouble.
Local Greeks are very much incensed
over the affair, but are glad that the
flag is back.
