men and Turcomans who are mostly
their co-religionists and implored them
to abandon Korniloff, whom they look
upon as the enemy of the revolution.
The spokesman OF the division an
swered that they would obey only Gen
eral Korniloff's behests and denied
that they were against the revolution,
adding that the real enemies of the
revolution were the Petrograd Bolsh-

inevitable, he exaggerated to Premier
Kerensky Korniloff's demands.
Lvoff is a striking personality. He
