d?b?cle, points out that even wi'h
present peace negotiation? the Dual
Monarchy would be obliged to ask res
vitution for Eastern Galicia and Buko?
wina, for which the Ententt "would
naturally have asked compensations."
But if at the end of the war. lays the
paper, the monarchy has kept all her
territory, "the enemy will not have the
least right to make, any claims."
Against this unhappy news the Petro?
grad official statement has only reports
of defeats and demoraliaztion to offer.
II is true that tbe worst new? is atated
with frankness, but the disaster de?
velops with each day's bulletins. To
Cay an intense enemy tire around Smor
gon and Krevo is mentioned, which may
rossibly foretell a new enemy offensive
in this region. On the Sereth the re?
treat could not be stemmed on account
of the refractory detachments which
persisted in flight.
Petrograd say?: "Owing to the de?
fectivo composition at our units ind
the itate of their morale our eounter
-ittacks brought us no definite results.
Certain units are continuing to leave
their positions voluntarily, without
carrying out the military tasks they
had been entrusted with. However,
there are others which are devotedly
fulfilling their duty toward the
Fatherland."
Strength of Rnssltn Forces
"The Morning Post" correspondent
declares that British and French g-uns
and gunners, flying machines, aviators,
und British armored cars were added I
to the unprecedented technical strength |
of the Russians themselves to make
tht front of the 11th Army the equal
of any in the world.
There were placei where the artil?
lery lay in absolutely dead gTound not
300 yard.-t from the enemy trenches.
Big guns were ideally placed, thanks
to the character of the terrain.
Information regarding tht runs of
the 11th Army almost staggers belief.
It appears that the Infantry shot down
their own gunners in order to get their
horses or shot down the gun horses in
revenge as they retreated, leaving prac?
tically all the artillery of the 11th
Army in the enemy's hands.
As far as the artillery and technical
appliances of the 7th end tah armies
are concerned, there is alio no hope of
their being saved. The Gennans were
already a couple of days ago acres! the
bett road on the ihorteit line of re?
treat. The rate of the enemy's ad?
vance on the western wing has acceler?
ated and the gun positions are'behind
the line now occupied by the Germans.
It is becoming an exceedingly anxious
queition whether the 8th Army will
lucceed in getting away at all, but it is
making the best haste eastward.
Korniloff Considered
Pluckiest Commander
In the Russian Army
General Korniloff, who ordered a
whole division of mutipous loldien
?hot by its own artillery, ii considered
the pluckiest general in the Runian
army, if riot in the entire world. The
itory of hi? career reads like a fairy
tale.
Short of stature, with a briitling
mustache, Korniloff, who Is a general
of the Siberian Cossacks, first became
known during the Russian retreat in
the Carpathiana in 1915. Against de?
p?rate odds he held out with his di?
vision till be himself was taken pris
oner by the Teutons. For several
months he was interned in Austria and
subjected to all kinds of humiliations
there.
East year he decided to escape. Dis?
guised as a peasant, risking his life on
many occasions, he walked hundreds of
miles across the Carpathians into Ru?
mania. When he finally arrived in
Russia he was greeted with unbounded
joy by the army. His feat also made
him very popular with the entire na?
tion. This made It possible for him to
gain the great honor, immediately after
the revolution, of being the first com?
mandant of the revolution?r army at
Petrograd.
In this capacity he was dispatched to
Tsarskoe-Selo to arrest the Czarina.
The scene that followed his arrival at
the residence of Nicholas Romanoff, on
March 21, has become historic. Ht
came to the Czar's palace with a revo?
lutionary convoy and riquested to see
the Empress. After some delay she
came out, dressed in black, to gee the
mm who came to arrest her.
"In the great reception room," -wrote
a correspondent, "*-tood the little Si?
berian Cossack general. Opposite him
stood the woman whose blind obsti?
nacy, whose duastroui folly, had been
the prime cause of tht terrible cttas
trophe. . . . She showed more spirit
than her hniband. She wai cold, item,
bitter. Korniloff read the order of the
covimment. She listened with bowed
head.
"Half way through ihe said, indig
nantly; 'Thank you, yon had better not
go on. Korniloff persisted In reading
the order to the end. The ex-Empress

duties and orders to the Petrograd gar?

Russian Cabinet
To Rule Country
With Iron Hand
Petrograd, July 2?.?-Russia's new
Provisional Government met yester?
day and discu?scd the increasingly
grave situation. Recognizing that the
safety of the fatherland necessitated
most decisive measures, the ministers
resolved to accomplish the task in full ?
accord and solidarity with all th<* hon?
est elements devoted to the country.
It was decided at the (Xbinet meet?
ing to convoke in Moscow ?oon a con?
ference of the principal representa?
tives of the Russian social organisa?
tions and to place before it the facU
in the country as they actually are.
In t\n interview to-day Premier Ke
rensky said the fundamental problem
of *he Provisional Government lay in
providing for the immediate safety of
the country and the revolution, what?
ever the co6t might be. The govern?
ment was thoroughly conscious of the
duty before it, he said, and was deter-"
mined to make a resolute stand
against anything which threatened the
ruin of the state.
The Premier stated that re-estab?
lishment of the death penalty at the I
front was necessary in view of the fact ?
that the government was faced with I
the alternativ? of sacriticing the army
to a bodv of traitors and cowards or
having recount to the only possible
means of inspiring terror.
The Provisional Government, in com- !
plete agreement with the entire army,
took the burden of heavy responsi?
bility, the Premier explained, solely in
order to save the lives of heroes who
w? re -perishing in the execution of
their duty for the sake of their coun?
try, and to remove the reproach threat?
ening the good name of Russia.
In an order modifying the decree re?
lating to press restrictions the Provis?
ional Government authorized the Min?
ister of the Interiar to suspend the
publication of periodicals that incite
insubordination or disobedience to or?
ders given by the military authorities,
or the non-execution of military du?
ties, as well as to acts of violence and
civil war.
Editors responsible for the publica?
tion of artlclea of this character, it is
announced, will be brought to trial.

Washington, July 2*3.- Government !
officials to-day, while not attempting to
minimize the seriousness of the mili-,
tary and naval situation, expressed the
greateit confidence in the ability of'
the Allies and of the United States to
overcome every obstacle, including the ',
submarine campaign and the deadlock
OH the Western front. They professed
the liveliest confidence, also, in the ?
ability of Russia to recover from her!
present distress and to return to her
task of beating back the German army.
There was noticeable to-day a greater
frankness on the part of high Admini?
stration authorities to state their vie?v?
on the situation. It was unreservedly
declared by one that the spring offen?
sives of both the British and the Frenrh
armies had been failures. But no note
of pessimism had reacted this govern?
ment from either England or France
respecting the difficulti.-s faced by their
forces, it was asserted. At the same
time, no ?.-.-uranee? have been received
that the war it appioaching an early
end. although in no quarter is it
doubted that Germany would seize any
opportunity for concluding peace on
the basis of the status rjuo ante bellum.
"There i.- n't a thing to justify piteti
nii.-m," Secretar) Baker was quoted
to day. "(in the contrary, th?- ar?
rangements made by the British and
French r?n the Wetten front, together
with the splendid progr?s- being ma?le |
h] the Ani'iicati troops, afford a ha.-is1
for an entirely different, attitude. I j
feel more than cheerful. I am g??ttingj
more and more confident every day til
our power nnd the ultimate triumph of j
our cause." I
.Military men, however, who viewed j
the situation from a purely professional i
standpoint, stated that neither the Al?
lied armies nor their navies presented
any prospect of a "knockout" blow;
that the war, if pressed to a strict mil?
itary dceition, involving the complete
defeat ?>f Germany, will continue at
least two years longer, unless "some?
thing snaps somewhrrc."
An authority with a nation-wide rep?
utation siid :
"Conditions in Ireland and the labor
situation in England are holding the
Bnti?:i army in Britain. The feeling
in Ireland is very bitter, and England
does not feel that it would be ?afe to
withdraw from the country forces that
would be available to meet any emer?
gency in Ireland. For the same rea
mu, she hesitates to abandon the la?
bor situation to itself, as there is con
tiderable unrest and discontent among
tht working people.
"Therefore England has about ap
proaehod the limit of the troops she ,
can spare for the Western front, which i
is considerably short of the number |
necessary to create that preponderance j
of force ?vhich is essential to the effort
of breaking the German lines. In ad?
dition to the Irish and labor consid?
erations, England must maintain at
home a very powerful force to pre?
vent the very possibility of what some
persons have predicted, namely, an in?
vasion of England by a German army.
"France, as the world knowi, has
called to the colon her last man, and
this does not mean tie last Frenchman
in France merely, but the last mar.
available for military ?ervice she pos
lOltei in every part of the world.
There is no lack of war spirit, of mar?
vellous morale, in France, and her
economic problems are not insoluble.
Bur sh" must look to the United States
or to Italy 'or troops to help her es
tahlith that superiority in strength
without which the German lines can-]
not be broken.
"Russia is not playing out, but Rus?
sia is unable to employ now, and proba?
bly will not be able to employ for a
considerable time, any str,?n-,*1h pro?
portionate to her resources. Despite
contrary report!, the Russian lituation
from a military viewpoint is not even
approaching a crisis."

Teutons Barred
From River and
Sound Vessels
Violators May Be Interned ;
Ferrie* Only Boats Open
to Germans
United States Attorney General Greg?
ory last night issued orders to United
States Marshal Thomas I). McCarthy to
bar all Germans, whether the pos?
sessors of barred zone permits or not,
from all vessels, except ferryboats, ply?
ing in the waters in and about New
York. Thi? notice will be served upon
the various steamboat lines thi? morn?
ing. Such enemy aliens a? may vio?
late the order risk immediate Intern?
ment for the duration of the war.
By the urms of the order, Mr. Mc?
Carthy said last night, all Coney Island
and other excursion boat?, boat? ply?
ing to New Jersey resorts, vessels of
the various Hudson River- lines, all
Sound boats, and boata running to Bos?
ton and other Eastern points are af?
fected. So aiso are the fishing boats,
and the boats which on Sunday ana
holidays ply between New York and
Connecticut and Rhode Island points.
The order i? the result of protest?
made against the anomaly by which
Germans are barred from pier? and
docks lest they obtain information of
military value to Germany, and yet per?
mitted to roam at will in the harbor
and Sound and along the Hudson River.
Thus, when Pershings men were mak?
ing ready to leave for France thous?
ands watched the progress of the
movement and noten the ship? on
which men were already embarked and
awaiting the word to ?%tart.
The ferries still reman open to
alien enemies, and for the present it
is explained nothing will be done that
might inconvenience German resident?
on Staten Island or having busines?
there. There are a large number of
these, including many who live near
the shipyards where work is being
done on ?hips taken over for govern?
ment transport service.
It is expected that protests will be
made againet the enforcement of the
order, not only* by Germans, but by the
owaers of some of the boat? which run
in the lines atfected, on the ground that
it is undue interference with their
business. Inasmuch as these lines an;
as a rule loaded to capacity, it is not
to be expected that the protests wiil
have much effect.
The most important lines affected
are those of the New England Naviga?
tion Company, a subsidiary of the New
Haven system operating all its Sound
boat?. An official of that company said
last night that it would not object to
any order the Federal authorities
might feel impelled to issue as a mat?
ter of national safety.

Judge Hough, of the Circuit Court of
Appeals, issued a temporary stay at
the request of the government, which
will be argued at his country home in
Vermont on August 2.
In applying for the stay, the govern?
ment argued that the .magazine should
be kept from circulation until a higher
court had reviewed the case. The
prosecutor maintained that It would be
idle to reverse Judge Hand's decision if
the August issue were permitte?! pub?
licity, as the harm already would have
been done.
The Circuit Court of Appeals is to
take the case of alleged seditional ut?
terances in the August issue under con?
sideration in October. On August 2
Judge Hough will decide whether to
vacate his order or to withhold "The
Masses" from the mails until the Cir?
cuit Court has acted.
Soldiers Shoot Down
Statuette of Kaiser
Throughout the months that the Ho- j
boken piers of the German lines have I
been In u?o by the government a statu- i
Stta o? the Kaiser has gazed upon the !
olive drab -sentries on Pier 2 of the
Hamburg-American Line.
Yesterday a ?quad of ?oldiers off '
duty got hold of some ?ub-calibre cart?
ridge? end constituted themselves a
tiring squad. Their actions and inten- '
tions were plainly visible from Newark1
and River Streets, where stood a sullen '
group of Hoboken-Americans.
Five minutes passed. Still hi? im?
perial majesty stood serene. The critics
on the street cheered up. There were
whi?per.d jeers at the marksmanship
af the Sammies.
Another five minutes and the concen- !
trated hail of even the sub-calibre bul- i
lets began to have its effect. His im- I
perial majesty began to crumble, and
finally completely disintegrated.
So did the group at Newark and
River Street?.

Americans Called
German ?Spies by
Danish Officials
Copenhagen, July 2?.?Informttion
obtained here shows that more ef?
fective measures than are now in force
?for supervision of Scandinavian liners
plying to the I'nited States must be
put into effect if the passage of num?
bers of German agents and courier!
and the transmission of intelligence by
German spies in America are to be
checked. It is said authoritatively that
German pass-forging bureaus an

navia with fraudulent Scandinavian
passports.
New name? and descriptions are lub
stituted occasionally, but sometimes
the only change is to attach a new
i photograph of the ostensible holder.
I Every liner now sailing to the United
i States carries 200 or 300 passengers.
? principally of Scandinavian national
I lty. There is little to prevent the in
i telligence department of the German
?Admiralty, now under the clever lesd
erahip of Captain Karl Boy-Ed. former
I naval attach? at Washington, from
I planting any desired number of agents,
j equipped apparently with genuine
I Scandinavian passports, amone- ?he
I passengers. There is reason to belie? e
this it being done.
Various attempts to recruit neutrals
for courier and information mission!

ported more or less definitely. The
Scandinavian police also could tell t
l tale of unmasked Americans who are

Germans Rule Air
On the West Front,
Says L.A.Warwick
An Atlantic Port. Julv 2?. The
French are in desperat?? need of aero?
planes, according to I.. A. Warwick, an
electrical engineer, who returned to?
day aboard a French liner.
"During my several visit? to the
Western front I talked to more than a
hundred British ami French officers.**
he said. "All admitted that along the
Western front the Germans had re?
gained supremacy of the air. From
what I have lenrne?! from them, I
believe that the Tinted States would
accomplish far more by sending live
thousand aeroplanes to France by Jan?
uary 1 than 11)0,1X10 troops.
French Need Veros
"The French are in need of a thou?
sand ttroplnaei immediately," h?- con?
tinued. "They have sufficient aviator?
but the machines are lacking. Detpitt
all the Frentali government can do -
and it is building aeroplanes p? f.i-t ;i?
! it can?the machines ?it" not sufficient.
"Two weeks ago, when I last visited
the front, and wat only six miler from
Lens, where I w-as in conversation with
a Rritish officer, he deplored the fact
that they had not sufficient aeroplanes
to successfully combat the (?crmims.
'Her?? comes a Fritzie now,' he said,
as a large <ierman battle plane potted
overhead, niakking photographs of the
Allied positions. 'If we had only suf?
ficient machines to send against them,
we would be all right, but, unfortunate?
ly, n i I event.'
'Germans Have New 'Planes
J. G. Wells and F. T. Walker,
American ambulance drivers in the
? 'hampagne sector, who returned on
the same vessel, also asserted that the
Germe s hav;- i seo trialaae, earn*?
ing a Benz motor of 240 horsepower
1 capable of making 130 miles an hour.
This new battleplane, they stated,
carries two gunners and the pilot. Tht
sides of the machine are constructed of
steel, making it almost impregnable
' against attack. It has two machino
guns and an automatic rifle.
"The Germane have grown much
bolder," Wells and Walker said. "They
fly as low as two thousand feet at night
and about four thousand feet during
the day. In many instances they havo
flown deliberately over anti-aircraft
positions und have dropped bombs on
the Allied batteries. The only possible
way to combat them is to put in the
field more machines than they have."
Attack on Kaiser Denied
One Report Said Emperor's
Jaw Was Smashed
Amsterdam, July 26. The "Weser
Zeitung," of Bremen, prints prominent?
ly "itories, with more or less elaborate
particulars, that have gained currency
of an attempt made recently on the
life of Emperor William." The "de?
tails" include one report that the Em?
peror's jaw was smashed. At the con-1
elusion of the article the newspaper j
says:
"The general in command at Altona I
in reply to our inquiry authorize? us *.o \
make the following announcement:
"'As the result of inquiries made in
proper quarters it may be stated that
the rumor of an attempt on the Kaiser!
is wholly untrue.' "
