Most Serious of All Crises,

Washington, Sept. 1O.-The crisis precipitated by the forced resignation of General Korniloff as commander in chief of the Russian armies is re garded here as possibly the most serious of many in that country's six months existence as democracy.
 The open fashion in which the de- posed commander demanded a vir- tual dictatorship, and the adherence to his plans of Deputys Lvoff and his following of the duma and the power full members of the intellectual and military classes indicate that the Korniloff forces feel sure they can succeed
 Unless the differences can be com posed, it is feared Russia may sink deeper into political disorganization and fall prey either to German con- querors or to the threatened mon archical reaction.
 Without official dispatches explain ing in full the tangled situation, it is understood here the chief point is the organization of the army along strict disciplinary lines, including the death penalty for soldiers violating orders, advocated consistently by General korniloff. Altho Premier Kerensky has declared himself for the Korni- loff program, the provisional gov ernment has exercised check on the death sentence thru government re- viewing commissioners at the front
 Apparently General Korniloff des- paired of improving the situation by carrying out repeated threats to re- sign, and finally became satisfied that his influence was sufficiently power full to wrest the government from the provisional cabinet.
 The government declaration of martial law in Petrograd and the substitution of General Klembovsky as commander in chief, is accepted as indicating that Kerensky does not count on compromise tactics and is ready to apply his policy of "blood and iron" if necessary.
 A gleam of hope is found in For eign Minister Dereschtenko's state ment in an interview today that he be lieved the revolt mot dangerous" and partly due to a misunderstanding which will be cleared up."
 In this connection, it is explained by persons familiar with the vicissi- tudes of Russian politics that General Korniloff's action has no connection with the recently disclosed plot tc restore the monarchy but is intended only as the quickest means for the common end of preserving Russian democracy against Germany.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. J. W. FORD.

Mrs. Abbie Rowan Ford was born
in Ohio county, KY, Nov. II, 1874,
and departed this life in Hartford,
Ky, April II, 1917. Her mother
died when she was nine days old,
but she was lovingly and faithfully
cared for in her infancy and early
childhood by her aunt, Mrs. John
Rowan. She professed religion and
Joined the Methodist church in early
life and remained a faithful and ac-
ceptable member until called to the
church triumphant.
She and ]. w. Ford were married
by Rev. r. d. Bennett Nov. IL, 1872.
To this union was born one daugh-
ter, Mrs. r. f. Lee Simmerman.
She had a strong, well informed
mind; was well endowed with COM
mon sense which gave a business
like and practical trend to her life.
She was very industrious woman.
Hospitality as rendered by her and
her husband was abundant, gener-

distress.
As a daughter she was devoted to
her father. AS a sister she was all
that could be desired. As a wife
she was faithful and true-a help

self-sacrificing, loving and kind.
In her earlier life she was active

"A GENERAL strike of the coal miners of the Birmingham

There are only two reasons why a girl
should wear a knee-length skirt. And
every girl knows what they are.
This would be nicer world If men paid
as much attention to brotherly love as
they do to sisterly love.
We do a lot of reading, and we are
pretty well posted. But we are forced to
admit that we do not know who is vice
resident of Mexico right now And,
furthermore, we don't give a damn.
The reason why a girl knows that 1t is
cool enough to wear furs around her neck
when the mercury is up around 9S is
because she knows 1t is hot enough to
wear skirt SO thin that it shows her
legs.
The reason why his wife's see-more eff
feet disgusts q man Is because he would
think it were becoming If some other
mans wife were wearing 1t.
Maybe the reason why some of the
danes who are always nursing poodles
have the kind Of faces they have is be-
cause a person gradually grows to look
like constant companion.
Men like to talk about how vain women
are. But many man has fallen into

Lowndes County Mob
Dishomors the State

e1T HE lynching of two Birmingham
y negroes in Lowndes county,
near Montgomery, was disgrace to
the state. Simply because they were
charged with having threatened a
white farmer with pistols, they were
taken from deputies by a mob of
about 100 men and hanged to a tree.
According to correspondent, the Of
ficers "endcavored to protect the ne
groes," but were overpowered. 1t is
easy to surmise what kind of resist
ance was offered. Many outrages Of
this character might be prevented if
mon charged with the enforcement of
law and the protection Of prisoners
would do their duty.
The only excuse ever offered for
lynching in the south which carried
any weight at all, was the violation
of q white woman. A crime Of that
sort sweeps men of sober judgment
off their feet, and while mob law is
indefensible, southern people feel s--at

rounding counties few men had gotten
it into their heads that they could re-
sist the draft and were doing a lot Of
foolish talking said J. s. Clifton, for
years the chief of police of Wetumpka.
Il hope the report was exaggerated,
for it is serious thing to go up against
Uncle Sam. I was telling an old friend
about what I had heard, and he dryly
remarked that with $4,000 soldiers at
ment could go out and take half dozen
men even if they did have rifles"

they have some justification for TAX
ing the law into their own hands.
The Lowndes county victims were
arrested in Montgomery while wait
ing for a train to Birmingham. They
acknowledged that they had some
trouble with a white farmer, but
claimed he had struck one of them
and they were merely defending
themselves. They may have been tell
ing the truth. At any rate, they had
done nothing to merit death.
Such fragrant disregard of law
and justice within a few miles of the
state capital calls for prompt in
vestigation. The men who composed
the mob can be caught and they should
be punished. The deputies should be
held strictly accountable for their
prisoners, whom they should have
protected.
Lynching in any circumstances is
bad enough, but stringing up negroes
for trivial offense cannot be too
severely condemned. Lowndes county
must answer to the state for this wan
ton crime committed by men who have
added to the long list of outrages
which have brought the south into
disrepute and have been largely re-
sponsible for the unrest which now
exists among southern negroes. No
wonder that thousands of them are
ready to go anywhere rather than
stay in the south.

Will Keremslsy Be
Able to Prevail?

DEoPLE outside Of Russia are
Is naturally expressing surprise
at the stampede of the Russian
army. The Russians made a name
for themselves when they gave evil
dence of abiding by the popular senti-
ment in favor of a republican form
of government; a still greater name
for themselves when the Russian
army drove back the Austro-G German
army The Russian victory was one
of the most signal of the war, but it
was not complete According to press
dispatches the Austrians and Germans
combined got the Russians on such
run as to make of the latter rabble.
The Russians are unquestionably
brave, and when in the thick of battle
they are unsurpassed in valor. But
the trouble is that Russia is not
equipped for carrying on warfare on
a large scale Three weeks ago its
army made a great dash. No often
sive has been more heroic. But when
the supplies gave out they had no
way of replenishing them on short or
-.
Russia is without adequate railroad
service. If munitions and food were
to be had the railroads could not
transport them promptly. The United
States is building first-class rail-
road system in Russia, but it will take
time for it to make a showing.
Russia has been set back by recent
reverses, but the country is not as
badly demoralized, perhaps, as might
seem. Kerensky is a born leader
fearless and broad-visioned. He is
democrat of democrats, but he is rul-
ing now with a rod of iron. He is
having all soldiers in the army who
refuse to obey orders shot without
trial. That is in accordance with
good military discipline.
In time of peace Kerensky might be
as gentle as any humanitarian could
wish, but self-preservation comes
first. Russia must be stabilized. And
if it has to be done by shot and shell,
Kerensky can afford whatever crit
icism the anarchists and pro-Germans
may make of the methods employed.
Will Kerensky be able to prevail7
( The prayers of a-liberty- loving world
will be on his side, which means on
hunanity's side
