by Gen. Kornilof on the provisional
government was the right to inflict the
death penalty on deSerterS, both in the
field and in the rear. I have written of
the thousands of idle soldiers of Petro-
grad. and of the expressed refusal of
many of them to go to the front when
ordered. There was no secret about
this, nor any concealment of the fact
that of many thousands of soldiers
sent to the front at various times since
the early spring, more than two-thirds
deserted on the way. They captured
trains. hospital trains in some in
stances, turned the passengers out, left
the wounded lying along the tracks and
forced the trainmen to take them back
Ito Petrograd, or wherever they wanted
to go.
Wanted to Shoot Deserters.
Gen. Korniloff wanted to deal with
this horrible situation in the only pos
sible way, by shooting all deserters.
This may sound drastic. No doubt 1t
will to every copperhead and pro-Ger-
man in this country. But remember,
for every man who deserts on that
have to suffer. We shall have to fight
for the Russians. we shall have to pay
the awful price of their cowardice.
Gen. Korniloff. a true patriot, knew
this, and he wanted to save his coun-
try from that dishonor.
kerensky apparently could not en-
dure the thought of those firing squads.
Or else he did not dare to risk the
wrath of the soviet. There is no doubt
that he would have courted great per-
sonal danger-it may be certain death
but what of it? There is no doubt that
Gen. Korniloff. If he saved the situa
tion, would loom larger as a popular
hero than Kerensky, but what of it?

Few Know Exact Truth.
Outside of the secret conclaves Of
the provisional government. outside Of
the inner circles of political life in
Russia, there is no one who knows the
exact truth of the so-called Korniloff
rebellion. 1t is known that congress
was held in Moscow in late August. in
which Kerensky made one of his great
speeches. absolutely capturing his audi
ence and once more hypnotizing a large
public into the belief that he could
restore order in Russia
Korniloff appeared and aroused great
enthusiasm. as he always does Every
body seemed to think that the two
leaders would get together and agree
on program. But they did not get
together ana the government announced

willing to Fight to Finish.

The Cossack regiments to the last
man are supporting the provisional
government, and are wholeheartedly In
favor of fighting the war to a finish.
There are about five million of these
Cossacks. and practically every able

soldier! Except our own cowboys,
there never were such horsemen. NO
troops in the world excel them in brav-
cry and fighting power. They are a

Facing Same Old Trouble.

If they had only done it after that
day. But the new coalition ministry,
with President Kerensky. the popular
idol, substituted for Lvoff. who had
grown weary and .dispirited by the
struggle, soon found itself facing the
same old sea of troubles that had
swamped the former ministries.

he lacks the iron will or the deathless

physical health stands in the way of
resolution.
