About and Fight German.


About and Fight German.
Petrograd, Sept. 13.-Surre er to
the provisional government OF parts
Of Gen Korniloff's rebel army wa
repoEted, and Kerenskys supporters
believe that the attempt of the former
commander-in-chief of the Russian
armies to make himself dictator
will prove abortive On the other
hand some reports of the situation de-
clare that the Korniloff forces con-
tinue their advance on Petrograd and
have been able to overcome the re-
sistance of the loyal Kerensky troops
through the superiority of artillery.
The provisional government de-
clared that a state of war exists in
the town and district of Moscow.
Maj. Gen. Bonch Bruyovich has
been appointed commander-in-chie of
the Russian army in succession to
Gen. Korniloff
curious feature of the Russian
situation is that, despite the disaffec-
ton in part of the army, loyal units
are attacking the Austro German
armies at many points on the front
and have gained important ground on
the Bukowina frontier.
