General. Komiloff's statement of his case, as presented in en
Order of the Day of September 10th which was printed in Wednesday's Times, suggests that M. Kerenaky at Petrograd first accepted his proposals and then threw him over. His object in moving cavalry on Petrograd was, he- says, to save the Provisional Government from an Anarchist rising fixed for September 10th and 11th. The Government, indeed, through M. Savinkoff, asked him to send the cavalry, as they feared a revolt if they decreed the revival of qua death penalty for mutiny and cowardice hi. the Army. M. Lval, instead of being sent by the General with an ultimatum to the Premier, presented himself at headquarters as the agent of M. Kerensky, and asked the General if he would assume the dictator- ship, or if he would oo-operate with N. Kerenaky or with a Ministry in which M. Kerensky had no part. M. Kerenaky afterwards repu- diated his alleged agent. M. Lye:4N motives are obscure to us, but he seems to have succeeded in causing the two strong men to quarrel at a most inauspicious moment.
