The Amazing Story of

Nevertheless, Kerensky was OBJ

put Kornilov's program into action.
A deadlock was reached whlcn
aroused Kornilov's temper. He
blurted out:

destruction. You know that the al

Kerensky heatedly rejected Kor-

claimed, "and / will appoint Alex

"Scoundrel" cried out Kornilov
and left Kerensky's study.
During the luncheon Kornilov told
Rodzianko that il Kerensky carried
out his threat he would lead the
Savage Division. consisting OF
| tribesmen loyal to him. against Ker-
ensky. Rodzianko pleaded against
such action. begging Kornilov not
to war against the government as
that would divide the country into
several factions and lead to civil
war. After a long. private convcr-
sation Kornilov was induced by the
president of the Duma to stick il
out as commander-in-chief for the
sake of the peace of the nation.
At the table i also learned that
Gen. Alexeiev had been offered more
than once the chief command. but
declined to take it without the
authority to exercise a free hand

TROUBLE IN MEXICO

The Mexican situation again becomes
acute with the revival Of the Villa re-
bcllion and the setting up Of provis-
:cnal government under the leadership
Of General Angeles. For six years Mex
leo has been torn with civil strife. Or
ganlzcd government has broken down.
The leaLers who have been fighting for
control have been little better than
bandit chiefs arl their followers have
lived by loot. The railroads have been
destroyed and industry and commerce
brought to a standstill.
While the United States has no desire
to add TO its responsibilities or its trou-
bles, we may seriously ask If 1t Is not
incumbent upon us to do something to
restore order in Mexico? We cannot
allow the continuance Of out:awry and
savagcry at our very doors. and it may
be necessary, in the interests Of civiliza-
ton, TO intervene. Our entrance into the
war with Spain was made imperative by
outrages upon the citizens Of Cuba COM

THE BOYS COMING HOME

While the desire of the people Of

that city on June is quite natural. the
people Of Wheeling very properly feel
that their own boys should not be de-
tanned at Camp Lee. or any other place.

,rit them tn return 1cme under proper
conditions. If there is any big parade
TO be given, we want 1t to be given in
Wheeling. We have the materials here
for a great parade, we can give them
grand reception apd we do not want them
to be fed up on paradcs and to be worn
out with demonstrations before they set
back to Wheeling.
The homecoming next week will be
an event long to be remembered in this
community. Wheeling Is going to do
itself proud. 1t is an occasion that
comes once in a lifetime. Many Of our
own boys have already come back, but
the detachment which arrived at New
port News on Wednesday is the largest
single organization coming at one time

welcome and in the welcoming those
