Kerensky a Despot,

LONDON. Sept, I7.-"Kerensky. the
Despot Of the Moment" Is the way
headline In the Cologne Zeitung"
characterized Russia's great political
leader The German press, according
TO "The London Daily Mail" is filled
with tales telling Of the regime of
blood" which Kerensky had TO intro
duco to stihe the "peace movement"
Efforts are still being made to induce
Russia TO make separate peace.
Thus the "Vossische Zeitung," ex-
pressing It's conviction that the Rus

nation, says:
ITO bring about peace Kerensky re-
Rarded it as his first duty to strengthen
the position and prestige Of Russia in
general, when peace obstructing prof.
ects would automatically crumble. Only
then would Russia be In position TO
exercise pressure on her allies in the
direction of accepting the Russian
peace formula. Kerensky was blamed
for not concluding a separate peace
with Germany at once. But people
forgot that even an attempt in this d.
rection would have caused Russia TO

"If the motives of the Russian revo-
lutionary government are rightly ap-
preciated It will be easy TO draw the
proper conclusions for our future at

that the Russion revolution. which re-
quires peace, can permanently make
common cause with England. which Is
attempting by every means to wal up
all outlets leading to peace. such as
Stockholm. AS soon as the conviction
becomes general in Russia that Ger

Recommendations Delayed

Although some trouble had been ex-
perienced with the sulphur primer
since early in January and investiga-
tons had led TO the belief among ex-
perts that it should be replaced. it was
not until May tina. Colonel Mont
gomery made his recommendations to
the chief OF ordnance. BY that time
it had been discovered that 10 per cent
of the small arms ammunitions made
at the frankfort Arsenal since the
first of the year had either hung fire
or missed fire completely.
Defects Explained
In to-day's hearing before the Dent
investigating committee on defective
ammunition Colonel Montgomery re-
peated his belief that the presence of
free sulphur in the primer had been
the cause of the defects in the ammu
milton.
This view was opposed by Walter
Arthur, formerly chief chemist at the
frankfort Arsenal, who was later Sc
verely criticised by Major Allerton s.
Cushmsn, L. S. R., who declared that
in his investigation of conditions at the
arsenal he had found that the inspect
ors had passed defective ammunition.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-09-19

ton Colonel Montgomery felt that it
would be futile TO renew his pleas,
particularly as he lacked affirmative
proof of the failure Of the sulphur
primer to function properly. and the
case was dropped.
