WASHINGTON, Sept. n.--Whether

sky's Provisional Government depends
largely. in the opinion Of officials and
diplomats here, on the speed with
which the situation develops.

groups. on whose attitude the allegl-

for a moment that he is without sup
port. Korniloff is only the messenger,
the tool Of great, influential party
which wants to seize the government
and II not entirely to overthrow the
revolution, at least to lead it off its
way. We do not believe that Korniloit
is guilty Of the crime for which so
many Russian generals are now behind

for the present Generalization in the

bears this responsibility, but also

Suggests Treachery at Riga
1T will, probably, soon be shown that
Riga was purposely surrendered to the
Germans, in order to warn the Russian
people that the army is in bad plight
and will be in worse one unless Kor-
nilcfF receives the supreme command
and does what he pleases.
But this did not happen because
Korniloff is so thirsty for power and
because Korniloff has suddenly set his
heart upon obtaining Kerensky's Office
1t is not Korniloff who is endesvoring
to dominate Russia; neither are those
behind him trying to do it. II is not

of the All-Russian Councils of Deputies
held an excited session, at which opin-

KorniIof Will Fail,
Saws Russian Spokesman

A. j. Sack, director of the Russian
Information Bureau, declared yester-
day that the revolt Of Kornilof against
Kerensky, while one of the most dan
gerous incidents Of the whole revolu-
ton, will not be successful and that
with its defeat will come the turning
point at which order will come out Of
chaos and the real strengthening and
Improvement OF the new Russia will
begin.
Mr.. Sack bases his statements Oh ad-
vices received directly from Russia.
The masses Of the people are with
Kerensky, he said, while those be
hind KorniloF are merely the remnant
bourgeois Of the old regime.
"All OF Russia wants order" said Mr..
Sack, mot only the middle classes, who
are probably behind Kornilof, but all
the revolutionary masses who are be-
hind Kerensky. There is no difference
between the measures proposed by Ker-
ensky and KorniIof. But Kerensky
proposed them first. The difference
between the two men is that one IL
q revolutionary leader who will not
take advantage OF the powers vested in
him. while Kornilof is a general of the
former Car, who would probably WELD
supreme power, thus endangering the
fruits Of the revolution"
Korniloff Outnumbered
The latest word from Russia is that
the Kornilof army forces are outnum-
bered by at least one hundred 20 one.
Kerensky. according 10 the cablegrams
received by the Russian Information
Bureau, has the complete support OF
the Council Of Workmen's and Sol
diers' Deputies, whose influence perme-
ates the entire army and feet.
The newspaper dispatches said
Mr. Sack, tell that deputGtiOns Ct Cos
sacks called on Kerensky and, after
pledging their assistance in preventing
civil war. went forward 10 meet the
Korniloff forces en- route &c Petrograd
10 reason with them. This shows that
the Cossacks-or at least the vast ma
iority or them-are with ker"nsky.
OF course, there is no doubt but that
some of the officers of the CossacH
regiments have gone over to kor-
niiof. That is to be expected. But
the rank and Ale will keep their pledge
Of loyalty TO the Provisional Govern
ment"
Mr.. Sack then referred to the recent

designations Announced

After heated debate, during which
w. Kerensky and the Socialist minis
tiers held 70 the concentration scheme,
the Constitutional Democratic minis
tiers announced tina; they would re-
sign.
Among the Socialists Al the Winter
Palace the action Of the Constitutional
Democratic ministers was commented
upon as indicating their dubious atti-
tude, which was said 20 be natural IN
view Of the fact that n majority of
their party emphatically supported
General Kornilof during the Moscow
conference.
When the Cabinet ministers dis
cussed, as an alternative to or com
plement to directory, the formation
of a permanent national assembly on
the lines of the Moscow conference:
the Socialists insisted that representa-
tives Of the bourgeois interests, which
were assumed TO be in sympathy with
General Korniloff should be excluded
from the national assembly. They also
demanded that members Of the Huma
and Cavaliers Of ST. George and other
organizations suspected OF counter
revolutionary leanings be barred. The
Provisional Government declared that
if the assembly was convoked it would
consider itself responsible to that
body.
