THOUGHT SERIOUS

Washington, Sept 12. - The new
Russian crisis is regarded here as
possibly the most serious Of many
in that country's six months of exist
ence as a democracy Unless the diff
ferences can be composed it is feared
Russia may sink deeper into political
disorganization. and fall prey either
to German conqierors or the threat
ened monarchial reaction.
Without official dispatches explain
ing i'm full the tangible situation it is
understood here the chief point at is
sue is the organization of the army
along strict disciplinary lines. includ-
ing the death penalty for soldiers
violating orders, advocated persist
emily by General Korniloff.
Although Premier Kerensky has de
clared himself for the Korniloff pro
gram the provisional government has
exercised a check on the death sen
tence through government reviewing
commissioners at the front.
