k0RNILOFF THREATENS
TO resign COMMAND
Insists on Death Penalty for
Soldiers Deserving
Ranks.

Petrorad, July 26.-General Korn-
iloff telegraphed from the Ganclan
front to Premier Kerensky it devel-
oped today, threatening to resign his
command unless the government de-
cided to reimpose the death penalty
under the findings of field courts mar
tial.
In an interview today Premier Ke-
renskv said the fundamental prob
lem of the provisional government lay
in providing for the Immediate safety
of the country and the revolution,
whatever the cost might be. The
government was thoroughly conscious
of the duty before it, he said, and
was determined to make resolute
stand against anything which threat
ened the ruin of the state.
The premier stated that re-estab-
lishment of the death penalty at the
front was necessary in view of the
fact that the government was faced
with the alternative of sacrificing the
army to body Of traitors and cow
ards or having recourse to the only
possible means of inspiring terror.
The provisional government, in
complete agreement with the entire
army, took the burden of heavy re-
sponsibility, the premier explained,
solely in order to save the lives of
heroes who were perishing in the
execution of their duty for the sake
of their country, and to remove the
rerroach threatening the good name
OF Russia.
The commander in chief and the
commanders of the various armies at
the front, having insisted that tho
restoration of discipline In the army
inevitably would necessitate infliction
of the death penalty, the government
has ggreed to restore capital pun
ishment. The measure is of tenn
porary character, to have effect until
the end of the military operations
The inquiry into the recent disor-
ders here Is being coptinuad energct-
ically under the supervision OF the
public prosecutor. The authorities
are taking measures to discover and
bring to justice all organizers OF and
participants in the revolt.
Michael Stakovich, governor gen.
eral of Finland, has resigned.

AT NEW HAVEN CAMP
Companies e and I of This City Lo-
cated-Company E Has Longest
Street in the Entire Camp.

Both Companies e and I, First
Regiment, of this city are now en-
camped in New Haven, not far from
the famous Yale Bowl, awaiting future
orders to entrain for Charlotte, N. C.
Company E, which shares with Com
pany D the distinction of having 151
men, the highest number in the regi-
ment, has the longest company street
in the camp. Company f has 19 tents,
one of which is an ordnance tent,
another a sergeants' tent, one a cooks
and 1 6 squad tents.
Company I now has 1870 men includ-
ing three officers. Yesterday First
Glass Private Ernest P. Bloomquist of
this company acted as Colonel Good
mans orderly. This company also
has something of a reputation for
students as there are ten members
who can speak French and others who
are studying it. Two women, who
followed Company I to Coventry and
thence to New Haven. were forcibly
elected from the company street at
the order of its officers yesterday. To
Company e belongs the distinction of
having. the greatest number of rela-
tives associated together. There are
five sets of brothers enlisted in this
command, the Ventres brothers, the
Rouillard brothers, the Gregory broth
ers the Delaney brothers and the
Carroll brothers.
Friends in New Britain who intend
to write to the boys at camp are re-
minded to be careful to write all ad-
dresses plainly. 1t is also necessary
that the unit name be plainly marked.
For instance, in writing to any man be
sure and also write the company and
regiment to which he Is attached as
there are likely to be several men in
either regiment whose names are
similar. Post Ot1ice Box l43 can also
be included in the address if desired

NEBRASKA READY
FOR JAYHAWKERS
Coach Stewart Not Saying
Much or Making Public Line
up of Players for Grilling
Game With Kansans.

Lincoln, Nov. i4.-(Special.) NE
braska has practically completed its
defense for the Kansas game and from
now on DR.. f. ]. Stewart will de-
vote most of his attention in polish
ing up the Husker scoring machine.
Another stiff workout today con-
cluded the hard scrimmage which has
been in order for the Kansas battle.
The freshmen tried out the Kansas
formation against the varsity last
night, but without much success.
Given the ball on the Nebraska 20
yard line the first year men rang up
but one touchdown during the IS
minutes of serimmage. The varsity
made rather an impressive showing
on the defense, but made no attempt
to carry the ball against the fresh
men. s.r
Lineup Indefinite.
The Husker lineup for the Jay
hawker game Is rather indefinite be-
cause some of the men are still suf-
fering from bruises and sickness.
Cook, who gaveia dazzling exhibition
in the Missouri game, went to the
hospital the first OF the week with
an attack of grip and has not been on
the field since then. kositzky and
0toupalik, Stewart announced last
night. would not be in shape to get
into the Jayhawker game. The absence
OF either man from TIE lineup, how
ever, will not seriously impair the
strength of the Huskers inasmuch as
Nebraska has two sets of backheld
men who are practically on a par and
Kositzky's place in the line can be
filled by either Mum or Krinelmeyer,
Possible Array Of Men.
The Huskers will probably line ur
something like this Saturday:
Rhoades and Riddeli, ends; Captain
Shaw and Hubka, Krinclmeyer, Mum
Young or De Teau. tackles; Wilder
Teter, De Teau or Young. guards
Day, center; McMahon, Shal!enberg
Cook and Dobson, in the backheld.
Stewart would like to find some
way in which TO use Sam Kellogg, the
speedy Husker back, who did such
excellent work in the Missouri game
by his punting. kellogg is a great
man in the open fiel6 and on end run,
and II the Husker mentor makes .
switch so as to use him he is certain
