KERENSKY TO
GIVE UP POST
OF COMMANDER
General Boukhonin Will Suc
ceed Premier as Leader of
Russian Armies; Peace by
Christmas If Men Fight. : ;
Petrograd, Oct 24, The newspa
pers state that Premier Kerensky
probably will relinquish the post of
commander-in-chief of the Russian
armies to General Boukhonin at the
end of the Week. . ..
: In an emotional address to the pre
liminary parliament yesterday, Pre
mier Kerensky appealed to the dele
gates to endeavor to arouse in the
people the same sense of invididual
responsibility at the front and in the
rear which carried the Russians to
victory for a time in the post-revolutionary
offensive, early in July. The
premier deplored the . present de
moralization of the army. ,
Could Have Peace By Christmas.
Mlf only we could rekindle the en
thusiasm of those July days in the
: heart of each man," . he said, "we
should have peace by Christmas, an
honorable peace, for free Russia, with
the war fought to an honorable end."
The premier talked for an hour,
running the gamut of emotions from
. despair to hope. He was applauded
' on all sides. " , t
"We are not fighting for political
ends, but for the very existence of
Russia," he declared. "The arm in
the trenches seems to have lost the
sense of duty and honor, although at
some places it is filled with new
spirit. The batteries on Oesel island
' gave up without a struggle, while the
little Dago island forces fought
bravely," V ,
Defends Government.
M. Kerensky defended the govern
, ment against charges - made by M.
. Markoff, radical, who blamed officers
for the demoralization of the army
r and hinted at monarchical plots. ' He
said the Korniloff revolt was not
monarchical, but a mere attempt at a
. dictatorship, as also was the Bol-
sheviki revolt of July,
: "Peace has been postponed by the
disintegration of the army by forces
which are continuing: the work of the
old regime," hi said.
Tighten Army Discipline,
In his discussion of the army sit
uation before the Parliament, Minis
ter of War Verkhovski said the gov
. ernment would Introduce a bill pro
viding for the establishment of quali
fied regimental disciplinary tributes,
which would apply a system of ptMl
- ties under which entire regiments, if
convicted of lack of discipline would
.' have their leave stopped and their
: rations considerably reduced.' V" '
, The Parliament selected a council
of defense consisting of 38 members
representing, all parties. The coun
cill will sit continually and-will at
" tempt to carry out the government's
' program of propaganda to improve
the morale at the front and in the
rear. -: ,A ,-..,,! .,.'

many" he declared. "If there be an
American, or any man in this land,
whether he is an American or not,
'who, knowing this record, says that
we did not have justification tor war
with Germany, then yellow blood
flows in his veins he hasn't any red
blood in him." ,
Peace Propaganda German Move.
Mr.'McAdoo denounced those in-
: I dividuals who would make peace with
the kaiser's, government and the "al
leged peace societies in this country."
The latter are merely "German wolves
masquerading in the hides of Ameri
can traitors," he declared, "while some
i oi the former are deluded and simple
people and some are in the pay of
the kaiser,"
The secretary, who has completed
a tour through the west and south
west in the interest of the Liberty
loan, said his trip had convinced him
v that America is awake to the fact
;s that this country( is waging the war
for self-preservation and knows that
when the struggle is carried to a sue-
cestful conclusion the liberty of the
, United States will never be imperiled
. again. ; ... v'. -. "' - :'v
Every Community Responds.
Washington, Oct 24. Not a com
munity in the United States, so far as
the Liberty loan managers can learn,
,,. has failed to respond to the call for
today's big drive. 4
Parades, speeches, patriotic demon-
strations and bond buying were the
order of the day from coast to coast

Send Declaration of Confidence
In Glorious Victory to Pershing
Washington, Oct 24. Confidence
in an ultimate "glorious victory" for
American arms over German autoc
racy is expressed in an open letter
addressed to General John J.Persh
ing, commander of the United States
expeditionary force, by the national
committee of patriotic societies, con
veying Liberty loan day greetings
and pledges of material assistance to
the American commander and his
men.
In part the letter reads:
"You are fighting our battles for us.
We, therefore, regard with contempt
those who refuse to lend their money
to the government and thus support
you, when you and your men so
freely offer your lives upon the altar
of the nation's needs. You are fight
ing in a noble cause, the cause not
only of democracy, but for the safety
of every man, woman and child in
the United States.
"We pledge ourselves to give you
that material assistance which you
so urgently require and so richly de
serve. V
"Americans will forever be grate
ful for the victory you will achieve
for the world."
FRENCH WIPE
OUT PICK OF
GERMAN LINE
(Continued (rem Page One.)
an enfilade fire into the forces of the
German crown prince still clinging
to the northern slopes of the platccu
paralleling the Chemin des Dames.
Greatest Blow Since Verdun.
To the German crown prince the
blow may prove the most severe he
has suffered since Verdun. He has
lost several divisions of his best
troops, including Prussian guards,
who were rushed forward to hold the
line at all costs. K K
General Petain's masterly stroke
weakens the German lines northward
to the forest of St. Gobain. A retire
ment from this line would probably
cause the Germans to' give up their
present front from Chavignon to St.
Quentin. The French had no easy
task going uphill against fortified de
fenses, concreted caverns and massed
troops. But the artillery fire was
very effective and there was no stop
ping the impetuous men of France.
Advance in Dark.
The battle opened before dawn
along a nine kilometer front from
the northeast of Lafaux, about the
neighborhood of Vauxaillon, to La
Royere farm. Amid inky darkness,
the French -trooos left their trenches
and with a teriffic barrage fire from
the most powerful concentration of
French guns ever gathered on such a
short front preceding them they made
their way forward into and over the
first German positions, sweeping all
resistance aside. , , V. .
Bag 7,500 Prisoners.
Altogether six German infantry di
visions were aligned facing the
French attacking forces, but none of
them was able to withstand the. on
slaught The advance continued like
clockwork.
The greatest depth of the drive was
in the center of the line, where the
village of Chavignon was captured
after a violent struggle which result
ed in the enemy fleeing; pell me!!.
Some of the best troops in the army
of the German crown prince were en
gaged in endeavoring to hold back
the onslaught, but their efforts were
unavailing under the enthusiasm of
the French to win positions which
would place them more adyantage-J
ousiy to prejs on jater towara iaon.
For about a week the French ar
tillery had been hurling tons of steel
into the German line in front of them
in preparing for the drive and when it
was started sad havoc already had
been wrought by tht guns. In addi
tion to the prisoners taken by the
French, the Germans also suffered
heavy casualties. v
Hold Former Gains.
In Flanders boh the British and
French troops are holding all the
gains made in Monday's drive north
east of Ypres, except at one place on
the southern fringe of Houtholst for
est, where the Germans in a fierce
counter attack forced a slight retire
ment by the British.
The latest advices concerning the
naval activity in the Gulf of Riga be
tween the Germans and the Russians
show that although the Russians lost
the battleship Slava and a large tor
pedo boat destroyer, the Germans
were the heavier losers. Two of their
dreadnaughts, one cruiser, 12 tor
pedo boats, one transport and numer
ous mine sweepers were put out of
action by the Russian fleet . While
the exact fate of these vessels has
not been ascertained by the Petro
grad government, it is announced that
at least six of th German destroyers
were sunk.
:j. Fierce Austrian Bombardments.
Further German attempts to land
forces on the Esthonia coast to the
north of Werder have been repulsed
by Russian detachments.
On the other fronts no important
engagements are in progress, except
in the nature of artillery. On the
Julian front of the Austro-Italian the
ater the artillery activity again has
become intense. An Austrian attack
with infantry in the Cadore region
was repulsed by the .'Italians with
heavy losses. "- - - .....
