Moscow.
Major General Bonch Bruyo-
has been appointed COM
mander-in-chief Of the Russian
army in succession to General
Kornilof.
While unable yet to report the
final overthrow of General Korn-
'ilo&, members Of the Russian pro-
|yisional government in conversa-
.tion with the Associated Press at
the Winter Palace this evening
summed Up the situation optimis-
|tically.
Korniloff Army Deserving.
An unconfrmed report received
at the capital is to the effect that
part Of General Kornilof's army
is surrendering.
The government has received
information that discussions had
broken out in General Kornilotf's
camp. The army sent out against
Petrograd has been deceived,
having been told that General
Kornilof's only aim was to drive
the Bolsheviki (radical) group
out Of the capital. The govern
ment had taken measures to una
deceive the soldiers on this point.
The new commander-in-chief
of the army, Major General
Bonch-B ruyovitch, who formerly
was attached to the staff of Gen
eral Brussilof, one time com
fnander-in-chief, has from the
first been devoted to the pro-
visional government.
Commanders are Loyal.
In an interview, Vice Premier and
Minister Of Finance Nekrasoff in

ECaucasus front and Lieutenant Cen
erai Stcherbatcheff. commander or
the Rumanian front, have definitely
declared their allegiance to the gov
the commander on the western front,
no news a been received, but from
his attitude there is reason to believe
he remains loyal.
Klembovsky Aids Koq4iloR.
The attitude OF General KLEIN
boysky, commander on the northern
front, Is still enigmatical. He based
his refusal to accept the post of com
mander-in-chtef on the fact that the
position on his front required his spe-
cial attention. Asked for an explana:
ton of why. he allowed General Korn-
iloff's army to pass through Pskoff he
replied these troops were not subordi.
nate to him.
The government, Vice Premier
Nekraseff said, had told General
Klembovsky he must either define his
attitude or resign.
Conspiracy Well Planned.
General Lokomsky, chief Of staff
the vice premier added, undoubtedly
was the chief conspirator.S There was
evidence the conspiracy. had been pre-
pared carefully and well in advance
whereas the government was caught
wholly unawares.
The constitutional democrats, M
Nekrasoff said, had no part in the plot
and no members of that party had
been at General Korniioff's headquar.

only ministers who5had definitely re.
