FOES WILL
MAKE UP COURT IN
KORNILOFF'S TRIAL
BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD,
United Press stan Correspondent.


STOCKHOLM, Sept. 2s.-The court
martial OF General Rorniloff will
probably result in q tragedy. Korni-
loft is to be judged by those whose
scheme of making the army subject
to civilian control stung him to re-
volt. Men under domination of the
Soveit, or alI-Russian council OF
workmen and soldiers. will constitute
the court to try the former command
er-in-chief.
1t was the Soveit influence which
Korniloff. the soldier. the fighter, the
man unskilled in politics, said was
crumbling Russia's army away. The
Soveit hates Kornlloff. One Of the
main reasons why Korniloff attempt
ed the overthrow or Premier Reren-
sky was the provisional governments
appointment-at the dictation Of the
Soveit of thirty "commissaires,"
who went to the front representing
the government, and who possessed
more authority than the generals OF
the army themselves. The commits
saires were all civilians, many were
politicians. They protected the sol
diers against their superior army
commanders. Russian officers inva-
riably called them "Kerensky's 8
spies" Army commanders were COM
pelled to submit their military plans
to judgment of the commissaires-
KerenIky's Nephew n COmmissaire-
With one army the commissaire
was Kerensky's nephew youth In
the twenties. He had the final word
over all troops there. He lived like
a lord LImousines were at his dis
posal. He felt his power, and he ex-
erted it. Moreover he always pro-
tected the soldiers against their Of
