DENY KORNIL0FF
Is MONARCHIST
Observers in Washington Say
He Wishes to Save Rus
sian Democracy.

wAsHiNoroS, Sept. 10. - The crisis
precip!tatod by the forced resignation Of
Gen. Korniloff as commander in chief Of
Russian armies 10 regarded here a. pos
sibly the most serious Of many in that
country's six months existence a. a de-
mocracy.
The open fashion IN which the deposed
commander demanded from Premier ke-
rensky a virtual dictatorship. and the
adherence to his plans OF Deputy Lvo6.
with his following OF the Duma, and
powerful members Of tho intellectual and
military CLASSES. indicate that the Kor-
niloff forces feel sure they can succeed.
Unless the differences can be COM
posed it Ia feared Russia may sink
deeper into political DISCRIMINATION and
fall prey either to German cOnQuerors or
tho threatened monarchical reaction.
Tho provisional Governments declara-
tion Of martial law in Petrosrad and the
substitution Of Gen. Klembovsky a.
commander In chief are accepted a. In.
dicating that Ksrensiky does not count
pursue a policy Of blood and iron" II
necessary against the revolt.
1t is explained by persons familiar
with the vicissitudes Of Russian politics
that Gen. Korniloff's action has no con-
nection with tho recently disclosed plot
to restore the monarchy. but It Is in-
tended by its promoters only as the
quickest means to the common and OF
preserving Russian democracy against
Germany
Despite reports that Kornilon repeat
edly has threatened TO resign II more
power to enforce discipline were not
given to army officers, It was recalled
that last May he resigned as commander
OF the Petrograd garrison because Work
mems and Soldiers delegates insisted on
a referendum on military orders,
Al that time tho Workmen's and Sol
diers Council appealed to the army to
obey orders and improve its morale. but
did not cease to insist on checking abso-
lutte authority for military commanders.
Just q week ago the provisional Govern
ment. still applying its system OF review
OF death sentences by commissioners,
announced that at was in complete ac-
cord with Gen. Kornilon."
Oficials here see in the appointment OF
Gen. klsmbOvsky. one OF the younger
generals who has commanded the armies
in the north during the recent retreat
before Riga, evidence that the Govern
ment hopes to strengthen its northern
positions and hold tho Germans against
further advance on Petrograd. klem-
bovsky will remain at his present post
in the north. according TO the Premier 8
proclamation. and probably will be in
bstter position to draw troops and sup
plies to the Riga sector. The Russian
Embassy received scant reports to-day
OF the new crisis and ofilcial comment
was limited to admitting that the stua-
tion seemed serious.
