GOOD REPORTS FROM RUSSIA
Better Discipline In Army Is Being

Are OueIched

Washington Encouraging improve
ment in the Russian situation was re.
ported in official dispatches telling Of
stricter discipline in the army, which
was seriously threatened by the polt.
ical upheaval and the sweeping away
of all authority. This is assumed to
be result of the efforts of Minister
of War Kerensky, who has been tour
ing the fronts.
Official reports from Russia always
have been much more optimistic than
press dispat hes and consistently have
secuted the ideta of separate peace.
This has upheld confidence among the
state department officials, who hope
that the revelation, though throwing
the allied offensives on the Belgian,
French and Italian fronts entirely out
of gear, in the end would prove one
of democracy's great triumphs of the
war
