Russian Minister of Labor 'Announces That the Entire Admit+is-:
trati+on and Organization of Army Will Be' Modified.
A despatch from Petrograd saye:-
Tile. Executive Committee of the
Wo1'k on's and Solders' Deputies and
Peasants` ;Delegates held a general
council on Thursday to discuss the
action of General Korniloff.
M; Skobeleff, Minister of Labor, an-
nounced that the I'orniloi'f adventure,
had collapsed completely, and that
his Headquarters had surrendered,
The Minister added that soon, the
whole administration and organiza-
tion of the Ituseian army would be
modified. I --Ie declared that the Gov-
ernnifnt had acted in full agreement
with, the "Revolutionary Democracy,
which 'had thus triumphed;- but that
the victory ought not ,to lessen the
vigilance of the 'Government, because
new attempts at` a counter-revolution-
were
ointe'-revolu i n"
P7 to
were possible through the criminal ac-
tivity of Gen. Kaledines, Chief of the
Cossack's. M. Skobeleff concluded by
saying that in the new Government
the presence of any elements suspect-
ed of sympathy with Korniloff ought
to be rendered impossible.
M. Avskenteiff, Minister oft• the In-
terror, said on Friday that as a result
of the Korniloff revolt all the Russian
front for three days remained without
the least defence and without com-
mand. The severest' penalty, he add-
ed, ought to be inflicted upon General
T ornildff, and that the Government
would do nothing to mitigate his fate.
The Government's task.enow,` M.
Avskentieff continued, would be to
struggle against counterrevolutionary
attempts', safeguard national liberty
and 'defend the country against the
foreign enemy.
