Washington Expects Result
To Be Stricter
Discipline
Problem at the Front
kerensky Planning to End In
reference by Com
mittees

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-News Of
Premier Kercnsky's determination to
instill better discipline nto Russia's
armies created almost as much graft
iication here to-day as reports that
General Korniloff's revolt was failing
and civil war averted.
If Kerensky succeeds in his disci-
plinary programme Korniloff's at
tempted coup will have borne good
fruit, in the opinion OF officials and
diplomats. Such on accomplishment
would remove one of the great weak
nesses Of the new democracy and, it
is believed, might 60 far toward in
fusing spirit of order and coopera-
tion into the civilian population, on
whose industrial support the war so
largely depends. .
Kerensky's plan is believed TO be to
restore discipline by making it plain
that military commanders shall have
full authority to dictate military
movements, BY roofing out the rersis-
tent interference IF soldiers commit
tees with commanders orders and by
retaining the present system of gov
eminent civil commissioners at the
front TO advise men in the ranks and
provide a certain check on ill-treat-
ment of soldiers.
By this agreement the death penalty
for violation of orders might continue
to be imposed by court martial, subject
to limited review b. the iivil commits
sioners. The forces opposed TO the
death penalty probably could be salts
fed by assurance that the commits
soners would prevent unjust sem
fences.
General AiexieF, VINO was made
chief of staff when kercnsky assumed
nominal command OF the armies, and
who probably will be virtually COM
mander. is both an advocate OF strong
authority for directing officers and a
friend of the civil commissioner sys-
TEN.
Recent reports from the Russian
front indicated that the soldiers COM
mittees. although said to have been
shorn Of their referendum power over
general orders. still persist in trihing
interferences, which sometimes mean
disaster.
The civil commissioners. who are
usually officials or men Of prominence
III their own communities, report 10
the Minister of War on general con-
ditions in the ranks. and also com.
municate TO the men information OF
the governments aims. They are ennis
saries of the democratic movement
with the function of assuring the army
ranks that they are not being used as
tools of military leaders FOR purpose.
other than defeat of Germany.
There is much speculation here on
the probable punishment OF General
Korniloff and his supporters If their
movement fails. particularly since the
death penalty is no longer inflicted in
Russia except at the front. and be-
cause Kornlof stood SC high in popu-
lar estimation that the government may
hesitate TO deal drastically with him.
Despite the slightly more hopeful
aspect of the situation on the surface,

German People Want
Only Lasting Peace,
The "Vorwaerts" SAYS


LONDON, Sept. IA. "Vorwaerts,"
commenting on the capture of Riga,
says Germany's reply to the Pope will
not go under the auspices Of waning
military power, but 1T can be stated
all the more frankly that the German
people want no other gain from this
war other than lasting peace. guaran-
teed by international law. If our adj
versaries refuse this, the whole German
people stands ready to contribute in
order that Riga shall not be the last
success Of German aims in this war.
From the Berlin "Tageblatt's" COM
ment on the Kerensky- kornilof fight,
it looks as if Germany anticipates the
Russian situation will turn out in Ger
many's favor. The "Frsnkfurter lei
tung" throws little more light on Ger
man expectations in the following re-
view of the capture of Riga:
THE German attack certainly was
extraordinarily fierce and irresistible,
but still Korniloff had time, troops and
skill. What was he aiming at?
"That Hindenburg should have chosen
this moment for his attack on Riga
shows he must be brimfu of confidence.
The Western Powers can see how little
Importance he attaches to their small
tactical gains and the strategic pros
poets of the English, French. Portu-
guese and Italians, and whatever all
their names are.
"Our enemies almost every day reckon
up the few divisions which were sup
posed to be our only reserves in the
West when the offensive began. They
plume themselves on their ofensives.
Each in turn claims to have saved in his
particular theatre of the war Russia, the
freedom of democracy or some other
Entente catchword. All such phrases
go by the board in view of the latest
German victory. OF the Somme bat
tie IIaig said It's object was TO relieve
Nerdun, TO draw German troops west
ward and exhaust them. How will he
justify the cost of the latest failure?
"As regards attrition. the Germans
are beating Off the Allied attacks in the
West, the Austrians have kept Cadorna's
masses at bay; in the Balkans Sarraips
mixed races are being hurled back into
the trenches, and during all this the
German divisions cross the Dvina and
take Riga. This. Of course, is not
going 10 decide the war, but any one
who retains any power Of judgment
must admit that the fronts OF the Cen
trail Powers are in stronger position
than at any other time in the war"

By Isaac Don Levine

Is General Kornilofr a traitor or a
patriot? II the speeches and state
ments made by Korniloff since tie
revolution last March are any indica-
ton at all. then Koriloff most cmphati-
cally belongs TO the latter category.
Moreover. these periodical expressions
of the leader of the counter-revolu-
tion show that his action was not the
result of an ambitious conspiracy
against the democracy. but only the
logical outcome of his convictions that
the country was rushing 10 destruction.
At the recent Moscow conference
General korniloff showed plainly signs
Of despair over the failure of the gov
ornment 20 agree with him in regard

Riga, was cabled here al the time
Feared Civilian Interference
But he also spoke of the demoraliza-
tion of the army caused by measures
taken for the reorganization of the
army by people who did not know the
army"
Referring TO peace, he said: "1f
there are persons who talk of n sepa-
~ate peace. those persons must be told
that peace at the present moment can
not be obtained if only for the simple
reason that we are not in a condition
10 carry out rehabilitation. Every one
who knows what is going on in the
army can tell what will happen during
rehabilitation"
Called on Troops to Aid
General Kornioff was the first revo.
lutionary commander of Petrograd.
Immediately after the March overthrow
he was invited by the Provisional Gov
ernment 20 assume that post. He in.
augurated it with proclamation, is
sued March 20, at time when Petro-
grad was in state of extreme emo
tionalism. Petrograd in those days had
forgotten that there was such thing
as a great war. 1t was only four days
after the Cars abdication and three
lefore his arrest. And yet Korniloh's
first manifesto contains the germ of
his present credo. 1t read:
Soldiers of the National Army and
Citizens Of Free Russia.

ment | came to-day to Petrograd and
have undertaken the command Of the
Petrograd military district. | am now
directing myself to you, my heroic SOL

given you much, but it also expects
much from you.
