KERENSkY TRIUMPHS OVER
KORNILOFF.

Korniloff and the chief commanders
of the Russian armies, who rebelled
against the provisional government
were not supported by the armies they
commanded. Kerensky, the head of
the present Russian government, Or
dered the arrest of the rebellious gen.
erals and his orders were obeyed by
the troops without the shedding of a
single drop of blood.
Ordinarily men in the position Of
Korniloff and his associates would be
promptly executed, but Kerensky is
inclined to clemency and their lives
may be saved.
While the rebellion has failed, con-
ditions in Russia are anything but sat
isfactory. The separate peace party in
Russia is now the most formidable
menace to the peace of the world.
