Another of the swift, dramatic cpl
sodes with which Russia has been star
Ting the world was unfOlded las
week. For several days it seemed that
civil war would be added to the woes
OF the struggling young republic, and
then, as suddenly as it appeared, the
storm cloud dissolved and the prOvi-
slonal government emerged apparently
stronger than before.
General KOrniloff, commander in
chief, demanded full power, was
| promptly removed by Premier Keren-
sky, and marched on Petrograd with
a considerable body of troops. Several
ofhcers having refused the position,
kerensky himself took the chief com
mand, the capital was put in condi-
tlOn OF defense, and loyal troops were
sent out to cut off kOrniloff from the
northern fighting line, which is now
considerably east of Riga. The Baltic
fleet, the army in general and most
OF the officials fastened to assure the
provisional government of their sup
port.
Then came KOrniloff's collapse. The
main part Of his army consisted of
the sO-called Savage division" fierce
Mohammedan troops from the Cauca-
sus and Georgia, who were uniformed
OF their destination or KornilOff's aim.
Loyal coreligiOnists induced them to
submit to the government on condition
that they be sent back to the Caucasus
and not be compelled to fight against
the Turks. KOrniloff thereupon in
formed the government that he was
ready to surrender.
Cause of the Revolt,
The conflict really was between the |
conservatives and the more radical ele- |
ments IN Russia. The former hold that |
the government has shown itself in
capable of restoring order and effec- |
tlVeness because it is hauled this wav
ana that by the wOrkmen's and SOL
dlers committees and has allowed
them to destroy discipline in the army
kerensky himself holds the confidence
and trust of all, but he is far from
pelng the dictator that he has been
represented as being, and has been too
tenuer hearted to carry out his own
oold words as to restoration of the
1eath penalty and other necessary re.
press1ve measures.
Inns latest revolt, however. has
nardened the premier. He caused or
