RUSSIA PREPARES TO STRIKE AGAIN
Minister Of War Tells of Reorgan-
 ization Of Army

feLTOEraQ, sept. lS.-IeneTdI yer khovsky, the minister of war, in his first announcement to the newspaper representatives, made yesterday, from having removed the menace of Russian onslaughts. mighty revo- lutionary army, reformed on the basis of the armies of other nations, would before long again take the field against her.
 The first task of my associates and myself,' said General Verkhov- sky, "is to create an army on the basis of those of other nations. l can assure you that the measures which will be taken will create a mighty revolutionary army It Is a mistake for Germany to think that the revolu- tion has destroyed the Russian army. It will soon become strong again and will resist to the end for the dignity and safety of the fatherland."
 The war ministry has been placed in close contact with and under the direct control of the premier and com mander in chief for better co-opera- tion. The reorganization of the headquarters has been completed, and the new high commands will enter upon their functions forthwith. A new note of firmness is observed in the latest orders to the army and fleet, in addition to which announce ment is made that no further activ- ity by self-constituted organizations will be permitted.
 The last announcement was prompt ed by the appearance of so-called committees for the salvation of the revolution, which assumed govern mental military powers in Petrograd with the aim of opposing alleged counter-revolutiona conspirators. Premier Kerensky, while acknowl- edging the good intentions of these bodies. declares that the need of their assistance is past and that they will be suppressed.
 Not in Kor1liloff Revolt.
 The commission of inquiry sitting at Pskov has ascertained that Gen. eral Klemboksy did not participate actively in the Kornilof revolt. The commission therefore declares that he is not liable to arrest. The evidence in the case has been forwarded to Premier Kerensky.
 The submission of General Kale- dimes has removed the menace of a second march on Petrograd and ma terially clarified the situation and frightened the burden of Premier Ker- ensky and his associates in the Com- miteee of Five. A further favor able indication is a seeming tendency on the part of the workmen's and soldiers delegates to show less ob- lection to a coalition cabinet and it is believed that upon his return from field operations the latter part of the week the premier will announce the constitution of the ministry
 It is expected that this will meet with active opposition on the part of the Bolscheviki, who demand the complete elimination of the bour- geoisie element from the government But with assurances of support from the army and the reasonable element of the socialists, the government has no fears of the result of any clash with the radicals.
 It is authoritatively stated that the government considers the proclama- tion of republic as merely a dec- laratory act and does not purpose to form a republican administration be- fore the constituent assembly is con vened.
 Premier Kerensky, in a proclama- ton issued yesterday, appealed to the population and to the men of the l army and navy to be calm, to trust ! the government and to continue to I fight the enemy.
 1 Rumors of the proposed removal of the seat of government to Moscow are denied in official circles, where it is pointed out that no political or military reason for such removal l exists.
