(By Associated Press)

10y ASSOCIATED preSS1
Premier Kerensky at the head OF
100000 loyal troops is marching on
Petrograd, where the MaximaIists rap
idly are losing power. The Polsheyid
uprising In Moscow was abortive ap-
parently and the loyal troops have
driven the revolutionaries into the
Kremlin.
General Korni1off, leader Of the fu-
tile revolt of some weeks ago, Gen
eral Kaledines, former Hetman of the
Don Cossacks; Michael Rodizfano,
president Of the duma, and Prof. Milu-
koff, constitutional democrat leader,
are reported to be forming a govern
ment in Moscow. Probably such an
organization would be more conser-
rative than the Kerensky ministry
and whether it is supporting Kerensky
is not yet indicated.
LoyaIists Near Capital.
The Bolanevih and the Kerensky
forces have not engaged In extensive
fighting. Loyal troops occupied Tsar-
skoe SeIo, fifteen miles south of Pet
rograd, and Premier kerensky and his
troops are reported at Catchina, about
thirty miles south-southwest of the
capital. Food supplies in Pet-ograd
are reported low, and the Cossacks
there are backing the Minimalists, in
resisting the Maximalists.
Apparently there have been no fur
ther defections to the Bolsheviki from
the army and garrisons and Petrograd
and Moscow appear to have been the
only large cities affected by the up
rising of the followers Of Lenine. 10y
alist troops control the chief wireless
station, one report from which says
that the overthrow of the revolt is
"only matter of days or hours" :"
This is borne out in part by the lack

Col. Roosevelt Objects to
Using the National Guard
as Second Line of Defense

Many speakers declared their al
legiance to the cause of universal
military training and service at last
nights session of the convention of the
National Security League. Letters were
read from Theodore Roosevelt and Gov
Edge of New Jersey supporting the
idea. In his letter Col. Roosevelt char
acterized the Hay bill. which sought to
federalize the National Guard as sec
ond line of defense, as being as foollsh
and unpatriotic bit of fiintlock legis-
lation as was ever put on the statute
books"
Outlining his views as to the army
and navy. the former President said
the navy should be second only to
Great Britain's, and that only because
Great Britain had greater need of a
navy. For the army he urged regular
establishment of 100000 men under the
the adoption of the Swiss universal
service to American needs.
BE 1t remembered" he wrote. that
such a force as that for which 1 ask.
while very powerful for defense, would
be almost worthless for aggression"
Meaning Of Preparedness.
National preparedness. Col Roose-
welt pointed out. meant spiritual, ma
preparedness and the thorough Ameri-
canization of the country.
"Citizenship," said his letter. means
undivided loyalty to America; there
can be no citizenship on a fifty-hfty
basis. We must insist that people who
work here live here; that they are not
mere birds of passage from abroad.
We must insist on industrial Justice,
and We cannot get it If we let igno-
france and need be preyed upon either
by vulpine cunning or wolfish brutality,
and if we do not train the ignorant and
the needy up to self-reliance and
efficiency"
Col. Roosevelt paid his respects to
those who preach the ignoble cult OF
che professional pacifst. the peace
at-any-price man." and added:
I'VE hope ultimately the day will
come on this earth when wars Will
cease. But at present that hope seems
as far in the future as the realization
of that other hope that some day in the
future all crime shall cease"
