New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-09-23

NNE Of the striking facts brought out
by the Korniloff fasco was that
ii brought to light divergent views
regarding Russia In the political ranks Of
the Allies. The Washington government
steadily adhered TO Kerensky as repre-
senting the nearest approach to a legally
constituted government in Russia, and as
holding out the best prospect for bringing
about orderly government on a democratic
basis.
On the other hand, it WAS pretty def
initely understood at Washington that the
British and French governments hoped for
the success Of Kornilof, because they be-
heved he would do the thing which is now
Of supreme Importance in Russia, the res
toration of the country's fighting power.
The diplomatic representatives Of all the
Entente powers at Petrograd, indeed, pro-
tested against the intimation that they
were in sympathy with Korniloff, but the
terms in which they did this were so non
committal as only to give force to the
charge that they hoped for the success of
the Korniloff rebellion.
The statement given out jointly by them
declared that they are in sympathy with
the great democracy of their ally" and it
added: "The view which they unanimous
ly declared was in the interest Of human
fly, and, anxious to prevent irreparable
ealamities, they offered their good services
with the noble aim Of serving the interests
Of Russia and the work Of the Allies"
But nowhere, apparently, did they de-
clare themselves supporters Of the Re
fenskY government.

was apparent that great change had
come over the Swedish people in their at
titude toward the two sides in this war
Swedish journalists who went to Berlin
during the first year of the war reported
that 80 per cent Of the Swedish people
were in sympathy with the Central Pow
crs; but the events connected with the fur
Their course of the war have produced a
marked change in their leanings.
In this connection correspondent of
"The New Statesman" writing from
Stockholm before the Luxburg intrigue
vas uncovered, notes that every one is
agreed that during the last few months
there has been very great change, and
that-unless one is speaking of certain
powerful, but narrow, cliques-it is no
longer fair or reasonable to describe
Sweden as pro-German." After describing
the influences that made Sweden decidedly
pro-German during the earlier phases of
the war, the writer goes on to tell what has
caused marked change in the feelings of
IAe people.
The first cause was that faith in the
German official statements about military,
naval and aerial operations wss seriously
shaken. The heralding of the Battle of
Jutland as German victory at the same
time the full German losses were stoutly
ly denied made bad impression, and "some
of the German communiques relating tc
the Battle of Verdun had been little diff
fcult to swallow"
The untrustworthiness of the German
official reports was emphasized and
driven home by the German official &C

\ Widespread Indignation
n Against Germany.

The indignation expressed by the So
cialists against the German abuse of
Sweden's easy-going complaisance in for
warding Germany's cipher dispatches is
evidently widespread among the Swedish
people. Other dispatches make that per-
fectly clear. The indignation is described
as universal; and even the pro-German
Conservative newspapers join in the
chorus of condemnation of Germany's
abuse of Swedens good Offices. The
"Aftenbadet' the leading Conservative
end pro-German organ, voiced the popular
indignation in the following terms:
an our nation, including those circles
which follow Germsnys fight against the
whole world with warm sympathy, there is
complete unanimity of opinion regarding Ger
many's attitude against a friendly power,
whose proclaimed neutrality.it cynically sets
aside by making the ignorant appear as a
confederate in the wrong. We await with
tension the official German reply to Sweden's
protest We stand here as party misled by
Germany. We have the incontestable right TO
demand satisfaction"

England Stood Definitely
- Behind Kornilof

About the attitude of the great ma
jority of the English people there can be
DO doubt. The testimony of c. II. Grasty,
staff correspondent Of "The New York
Times on that point is clear. He cabled:
ri have talked with q good many people
to-day about conditions in Russia, and
have not found anybody without a certain
good will toward Korniloff and his movement.
Academically England is sincerely demo-
cratic, but recent experiences in Russia have
convinced most people that the country can
be got up solidly against Germany only by
the strong hand Of military dictator. Kor-

eles, not only on his record as an officer,

recite the fact that the German authorities

demanded that these Conservative states
men be ousted from their positions at the
head of the government.

Of Swedish opinion about the war" He
explains himself in the following passage
"For from a democratic Russia Sweden has
nothing to fear; and so the greatest abstacle
TO an understanding between Sweden and the
Entente has been removed Swedish opinion
has, as IL were, been set free to form itself on
natural lines, and being no longer obliged to
regard German might as an indispensable pro-
lection, has been rapidly coming into line
with civilized opinion throughout the rest OF
the world The change is apparent in the
newspapers. in politics, in private life, every
where. The working classes and the demo-
cratic parties, Liberals as we'll as Socialists,
are now openly anti-Germsn, and this attitude
Is spreading upward even amongst army off,
GERS and in university circles"
The writer also finds that the submarine
war has had good deal to do with the
change. That and the recent revelations
regarding bombs introduced into Scandi-
navia by official German agents have
caused real and widespread indignation"
The writer finally predicts that in the
general elections now taking place the def
rite abandonment by Sweden Of its pro-
German attitude would be the next most
important issue, after the characterization
Of the suffrage. Forecasting the result,
lie says:
"A sweeping victory Of the Left Is expected.
The Conservatives are declaring everywhere
that II NJ. Branting, the Socialist leader. comes
into power-as he might do il he can come
TO terms with the Liberals, and If the King
will accept him-he will bring Sweden into
the war on the side Of the Entente"
The question finally arises: Where does
the Luxburg affair leave Sweden? The
American press has discussed that aspect
CT the case very fully, and its verdict is
practically unanimous that it put Sweden
into very deep hole. Thus "The Houston
Chronicle" writes:
"If Sweden 10 disposed to sympathirs with

"Korniloff should not be shot, Koniloa

And the Socialist New York Call

The tragic situation of Korniloff comes
I'D for extensive discussion in the press.
The question is raised, What should be
done with Korniloff? And the answers are
bv no means uniform. "The st. Louis
Post Dispatch" calls him an "arch traitor"
and after pointing out that ne made the
restoration of the death penalty in the
army his excuse for breaking with the gov
eminent, it adds:
"He has furnished an unanswerable argu-
ment for the penalty he advocated. If ne
is not the first victim of his own rule he
will be shown a questionable magnanimity

for the job" and "The Arizona Republi-
can" took the same view, as follows: In
the success Of the revolt appears to be the
only hope, slender as it is, that Russia
will continue at all in the war" The
Dallas Farm News" took sides moderately
in favor of Korniloff thus:

Korniloff would be the better outcome for
the Allies, since the sternness Of the soldier
