WASHINGTON DOUBTS
KERENSKY'S SUCCESS

Washington, Sept. 12.-Reports
reaching here today indicating that
Premier Kerensky's provisional gov
ernment was gaining strength in its
struggle to prevent General Korniloff
from seizing the government, failed to
raise the hopes of Russias friends to
any great extent.
Although accepting the govern
ment's optimistic announcement that
Korniloff's followers were few and
that some of his soldiers marching on
Petrograd had offered to arrest their
leader. officials and diplomats said 1t
was difficult to Judge the strength of
the revolt They were impressed with
the view that even should this upris-
ing be quelled promptly, the interests
secretly approving Korniloff's at
tempted coup would remain as danger
sources for Russia's future unity.
The state department today still
was without a report from Ambassa-
dor Francis concerning the Korniloff
movement. and at the Russian en-
bassy il was said dispatches gave no
clear explanation Of the crisis.

ARMY AND NAT1 ARE
STANDING BY KERENSKY

Petrograd. Sept. 12.--The interior
Of the winter palace was a remark
able sight, owing to the extraordinary
precautions which first were taken
early yesterday, when hope of a COM
promise was lost finally. Inside the
newly erected partition in the grand
corridor and outside M. Kerensky's
office were stationed two hundred
sailors of the second Baltic corps.
During the afternoon students of the
school of marines were brought into
the palace as well as parts of the
Preobrazhensky and Litovski regi-
ments while in the court yard were
armored motor cars. Elsewhere in
the city there was little military show
but all through the night posts of
five and six infantrymen paraded the
streets and occupied the court yards.
The city so far has been quiet.
All through the night NJ. Kerensky
received resolutions from army and
navy units promising to support him.
The council Of workmen's and SOL
diers' delegates sent kilograms to the
telegraph operators unions declaring

That is. what Col. d. K 3. Sellers, the
director, calls it. The demonstration
will be in fact a big military and
western festival combination hard
to beat in the opinion of Colonel Sell
ers. Frontier sports have been popu-
lar at fairs. In fact there has been
complaint that they were not featured
prominently enough. And military
drills, always in favor, will be more
popular at a time when nearly every
family in New Mexico has a member
in the army than they have been. in
the past.
Begins Assembling Cowboys.
Soldiers stationed at Camp Funston,
the federalized national guard Of New
Mexico, will furnish the military part
of the celebration. There will be
nearly 5000 troops stationed here
when the celebration begins and
nearly all of them will take part. The
First infantry will have been raised
to war strength with recruits, called
into service under the national army
act, and instead of one battery of the
First field artillery there will be
three. Enough men to form two more
batteries will have been sent to Camp
Funston from New Mexico's quota
raised under the national army act.
"Tex" Austin, frontiersman and
Snowman, will have charge Of the
western sports. He intends to make
this part of the celebration rival
frontier shows of established reputa-
Don, bringing champion bronco
busters, expert ropers and bail
doggers" here from Cheyenne, Pen
deton, Walla Walla and other places.
Austin last night began his round
up of performers by telegraphing ad-
vertisements of the New Mexico cele-
bration to publications tnat will reach
men of the kind he wants.
Will BE at Traction Park.
The celebration will take place un-
der the auspices of the Chamber of
Commerce. The chamber had the plan
under consideration Tor several days
and decided last night to give its sup
port to the celebration, appointed
Colonel Sellers as director and tolo
him to make the arrangements. The
program had been worked out as far
as participation of the soldiers and
the staging Of the frontier show was
concerned Assurance that the SOL
diers would take part had been OBJ
tanned and Austin had stated his
plans to the chamber.
Colonel Sellers said he had in view
several other attractions, although
the military feature and frontier show
will make up the greater part of the
program. He was not prepared tC
make any announcement as to other
features, however, as he had not
definitely scheduled them.
The demonstration will last foul
days-October 10, IL, 12 and 13-and
will take place at Traction park.

Buenos Aires, Sept 12.-The Ar
gentine government at noon today
sent to the German legation passports
to be delivered to Count Luxburg, the
German charge d'affaires in Buenos
Aires. The whereabouts of Count
Luxburg still is unknown to the Ar
gentine government.
The Argentine minister at Berlin
has been instructed to inform the
German foreign office that Count Won
Luxburg has been handed his pass
ports and to ask for explanations re-
garding the telegram disclosures. II
the German government disapproves
of the text of the German minister's
dispatches and especially of the word
lass" which term the count applied to
the Argentine foreign minister, the
situation may clear. If Berlin does
not disavow the minister's course Ar
gentina will recall her minister from
Germany but may permit the lega-
ton to remain.

If Germany expresses a desire to
maintain relations with Argentina,
Notwithstanding the expulsion of
Count Won Luxburg, it was said at the
foreign office, this government would
be willing to consider the question,
Argentina also has asked the Ger
man government for a full explana-
ton of its present policy of sinking
Argentine ships.
This apparently was settled in the
case of the steamship Toro but In view
of Count Won Luxburg's notes, which
antedated that settlement, Argentina
desires a clear statement
A rupture, officials say, is not nee

concession but If she doesn't do so

Claim From Petrograd Is That
KorniloffS Followers Are
Deserving Him, and Retreat
Is Now Cut Off.
ANCIENT CAPITAL is
UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Fierce Austrian Attacks on
Cadorna Are RepuISed by
ItaIiansi Little Fighting on
Western Fronts,


While optimism seems to prevail in
the provisional government in Russia
that a successful issue of the counter
revolution started by General Korni-
loft soon will be returned in favor of
Premier Kerensky, the situation still
remains most acute. All the dis
patches from Petfograd at present are
emanating from the provisional gov
ernment or supporters of Kerensky.
Late reports from Petrograd are to
the effect that Korniloff's march on
Petrograd has been checked and that
even his retreat had been cut off by
forces faithful to the provisional gov
ernment also that there have been
further defectons from the ranks of
Korniloff and that great majority
of the commanders at the front are
still adherlng to the government.
Unrest in Moscow.
Meanwhile the spirit of unrest
seems to have invaded Moscow where
martial law has been declared and
government forces are maintaining
order.
One of the brightest spots In the
situation is the offer to the central
committee of the constitutional demo-
cratic party to aid in the reconstitu-
ton of the cabinet so as to avoid civil
war.
OF great interest on the political
side of the war Is the action of the
Argentine government in sending
passports to the German minister for
his connection with dispatches sent to
Germany through the Swedish lega-
tion. Argentina has requested a dis
avowal by Germany of the minister's
action, and II Is said, will withdraw
her minister If acquiescence is not
forthcoming.
Late reports from Buenos Aires say
that the German legation and Ger
man newspaper buildings have been
attacked by mobs carrying out an
anti German demonstration.
Little Fighting West.
! On the battle fronts the military
activity generally is far below that of
past weeks. On the line in France
and Belgium only artillery duels and
comparatively small operations by the
infantry are being carried out. Some
! further advances have been made by
/ the French in the Champagne, near
| st. Souplet.
Monte San Gabrielle, in the Austro-
Italian theater has been the scene of
another vicious attack by the Austrians
in an unsuccessful endeavor to dis
lodge the Italians from recently cap-
tured positions.
In the battle Of Riga. according to
the German war office, $500 Russians
were made prisoner and 325 guns and
large quantities Of war stores were
captured.
Great Britain's losses in large mer-
chant vessels sunk by mines or sub
marines last week were the smallest
since Germany began her intensive
submarine campaign. Only twelve
large vessels were destroyed.
