WAsuIEGTON GRATIFlED WITH
PREMIER kERESSKY'S PLAN

Washington, Sept. l5-News os
Premier Kerensky's determination 70

armies created almost as much grat-
idcation here today as reports that
Gen. Korniloff's revolt was failing and
civil war had been averted
II Kerensky succeeds in his d.

I'd coup will have borne good fruit
in the opinion Of officials and diplc-
mats. SUCH an accomplishment would
remove one Of the great weaknesses
of the new democracy, and it is be-
lieyed. might go far toward infusing
spirit CT order and cooperation into
the civilian population on whose il
dustrial support the war so largely
depends.
Kerensky's plan is believed to be 70
restore discipline by making it plain
that military commanders shall na'a
full authority over military move
ments; by roofing out the persistent
interference of soldiers committees
with commanders orders; and by re.
tanning the present system of gov
ernnent by civil commissioners at tn
front to advise men in the ranks and
provide certain check on i'll treat
ment Of soldiers.
BY this arrangement the death pen
atty for violations Of orders might
continue to be imposed by court-mar-
tial. subject to limited review by the
civil commissioners.
Gen. Alexief, who was made CHIEF
Of staff when Kerensky assumed
nominal command OF the armies. Is
an advocate o. strong authority for
directing officers and friend OF the
civil commissioner system. &.
Recent reports from the Russian
front indicate that the soldiers CON-
mittee still persists in trifing inter-
ference, which sometimes mean delay
and disaster.
The civil commissioners are ennis
saries OF the democratic movement
with the function OF assuring the
army ranks that ehey are not being
used as tools of military leaders for
purposes other than the defeat OF
Germany.

heard about the woman's punishment
and for joke, they all Justify cheered
