RUSSIANS CRY
FOR BLOOD
CONTINUED from page u

Korniloff himself was deluded into
the belief that all the allied ambassa.
doris would favor his revolutionary
move That belief was in no small
measure responsible for his open re-
bellion. And Korniloff's bitter enm1ty
toward Germany is known to every
Russian.
A week later Alexieff was APP
pointed commander-in-chief of Rus
sia's armies, when kerensky felt
Korniloff was slipping in his allie
glance, Kornfloff refused to relin.
quish his command and carried out a
brilliant but small advance of his
Russian troops toward Riga.
With Korniloff a prisoner, Keren-
sky now faces trying question of
what. TO do with him. The premier is
either unwilling or unable to subject
their former commander-in-chief to the
death penalty.
Apparently capital punishment in
the whole army has been abolished
Premier Kerensky finds it impossible
further to carry out his policy OF
iron handed discipline in the army
Capital punishment has again been
put in the hands Of the Soldiers com
mittee-and that means its total
abolition.
Kerensky's bravery and idealism in
the face of unparalleled criticism
SANDER and attacks on his life, is un
questioned. But his surrender of con-
cessions to the Bolsheviki-the IA
natical extremist group who at any
time may start an armed demonstra,
ton in favor Of peace-is injuring
the progress of the war.

continues relentlessly. The killing
of Germans has now become the
principal objective of allies strategy
to which the new American armies
will contribute.
Germany's defeat will not necessi-
tate the breaking of her western
line. What is being broken is not
the line itself, but the reserve force
of the line.
The German reserves cannot with.
stand indefinitely the drains being
made upon them through incessant
first line casualties. The German
first line may. in fact, appear to be
rs impregnable now as 1t was three
gears ago, but with the reserves
dwindling the security to Germany
becomes constantly more precarious.
The German line in the west may
indeed still occupy its present geo
graphical position while the kaiser's
militarists throw up the sponge.
Their capitulation will be regulated.
not by the strength OF their western
trenches, but by the number Of re-
serves they can bring up to man the
trenches. The killing Of Germans,
by weakening the German reserves,
is therefore bringing just peace
nearer, regardless of the actual
ground gained by the allies.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE AMEl
ICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Sept. 2l.--
One military railroad close behind
the fighting lines is being operated
today by a regiment OF American
transportation engineers, some o.
whom have already received their
baptism of fire from an attocking
German airplane.
7 visited the Americans as they ar
rived at their new barracks. They
were welcomed by the roaring and
humping Of French guns few kilo-
meters distant where an artillery duel
was raging. Aeroplanes swooped
overhe cad patrolling the sky for the
Yankees.
Enroute to their positions behind
the front, the American boys gazed
from car windows at evidences OF
real war. They proceeded through
shattered towns and were much In
terested in the rusting wreck of a
time before.
The soldiers told Of how one Am
erican railway crew was forced to
take refuge under the tender of their
locomotive few nights ago. when a
German airplane attacked, The
Teuton flier was attracted by the
glare of the engines fire box in the
dark. He first dropped bombs around
the Americans and their train, then
flew low, pouring stream of bullets
from his machine gun at the sammies.
When he departed, the Americans
emerged from their temporary shelf
er. mounted the bullet-pocked train
and continued on their way.
Recurrent nocturnal aeroplane raids
in the region of the American en-;
gineer's new barracks have filled
the troops with an enthusiasm for
digging day and night If necessary
to complete their dugouts and bomb
proof shelters, although they ordin-

STRUCK BY ENGLAND
Continued from page IL

Of July 81 and August 16, gained
ground. The tower and hamlets
north east Of Langemarck" would
seem to put the new British positions
close to the Houthulst forest.
This same sector where the Brit.
ish are now gaining ground was the
scene in the spring of 1915 Of the
last great German attempt to break
through to Calais. The ground is
historic also in that it was the first
battlefield where gas was used by the
Germans.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The pres.
ent British offensive in the vicinity
of Ypres represents the kind OF
fighting the American army in France
will be called upon to do when 1t
takes over it's allotted section Of first
line trenches.
An advance such as the British
have just made, reaching maximum
depth of a mile, along front of
eight miles, will probably mark the
limit of detectives which the Ameri-
can forces will attempt to gain in
their first encounters with the Ger.
mans. Piercing the German front on
the western battle line is no longer
the primary purpose Of the allied
forces. Under present conditions OF
fighting the sharp, quick jump for
ward, followed by a halt has been
substituted for the former method OF
long, continued fighting, without ade'
quate artillery support.
Casualties have been greatly re-
duced to the attacking forces by the
new tactics, while, at the same time,
by a repetition of these short arm
punches, the slaughter of Germans
