KORNILOFF LEADS
PETROGRAD March
RuMoRs RIFE OF RUSSIAN oP'
POSING FORCES ClASHlNG-
RAILROAD STRIKE IMPEN0s

Petrograd.-According TO reporiS
from the winter palace, where the
government council was in session,
considerable force of supporters OF
Gen. Korniloff already have passed
Luga on the way to Petrograd.
The government refuses to make
statement, but Foreign Minister Ter
eschtenko informs the Associated
Press that he believes the Kornilor
forces consists of only few hundred
men. The town and railroad station
at Luga are in Korniloff's hands.
Gen. Korniloff has ordered his
troops to detrain at the railroad sta
ton at Dno and to march on and be-
siege the city Of Petrograd. Govern
ment infantry still is moving out OF
the capital to oppose hornilon $
forces.
Gen. Denikine, commander OF the
| Russian armies on the southwestern
front, has telegraphed TO Premier
Kerensky that he intends to support
Gen. Korniloff.
In conversations with the Associat-
| ed Press, leaders of the Petrograd
Council of Deputies declared that the
provisional governments trump card
was that the railroad employees were
entirely on its side and that obduracy
by Gen. Korniloff would result in a
general strike, depriving Korniloff o.
all supplies and of all means OF i'm
posing his will on the rest of Russia.
On Gen. Korniloff giving an evasive
answer Premier Kerensky categori
cally ordered him to come to Petro
grad. To this Korniloff gave an EN-
phatic refusal. He declared in gen
eral that he would not accept orders
from the premier.
Premier Kenrensky then made t
the cabinet a prolonged report on tn
situation, repeating his proposal u
form a small directory. Here the pre-
mier met his first opposition from tn
constitutional democratic ministers
who declared they were unable to az
cept the dictatorship of the director
and would consent to remain in tn
cabinet only IL all the material col
cerning the revolt and all the plan
for the liquidation thereof were sui
mitted to the cabinet in full.
After a heated debate the constit1
tional democratic ministers announ
, ed that they would resign.
!. Among the socialists at the Wintt
Palace the action of the constitution;
democratic ministers was commente
upon as natural, Since majority

ASKS GERMANY TO EXPLAIN
Departure Of Count WrangeI At Mo-

Embarrassed BY Washington Dis
closures Caused a Sensation.

Stockholm Sweden realizes the Sc
riousness of the situation created by
the recent disclosures at Washington
regarding the transmission of Ger
man dispatches and expects to take
all steps possible to put matters right,
Foreign Minister Lindman told the
Associated Press during an informal
talk. All transmission of German dis
patches had been stopped. he said,
and Germany had been asked for an
explanation of the abuse OF the prlvi-
lege formerly extended.
In the course of his discussion OF
the affair with the correspondent Ad-
miral Lindman brought out the FOL
lowing points:
First-That the Swedish govern
ment was not, as alleged in certain
quarters, taking the affair lightly, but
on the contrary realizes fully the Sc
rious aspect of the situation and IN
tended to do everything possible &c
settle the problem.
Second-That transmission or dis
matches on behalf of Germany hal
been stopped absolutely from the mo
menr when the disclosures were
brought to the foreign minister's az
tention and would under no clrcurn
stances be resumed.
Third-That had the Swedish gov
ernment had the slightest idea OF tn
nature of the dispatches which IN
German government was transmittin
tho messages would never have bee
transmitted.
Fourth-That strong represents
tions had been addressed to the Ge
man government on the abuse mad
