By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD
I'RTROQRAD May 25
The I.tod deorge o Russia Minister
cf War Kercnsky began today the supremo
test of his own career ami that of new
Russia HIb new orders to the army, re
storing discipline by authorization for pun
ishment of offenders, Including penal sen I
tude for deserters, became effectivo in the
orders of the day
A popular Idol throughout all Russia,
Kercnshy Is staking all on his ability to
Incite Russia's army Into fighting If the
new provisional government Is strong
enough to back him up, his supporters be
lieve, he will succeed In cementing Russia
Into a cohesive, united $orce
In the meantime signs multiply that the
peasants, whose Initial Insistence en di
vision of the land had for a time threat
ened the Internal safety of tho Government,
are realizing moro and more tho necessity
for unity of action The peasants' congress
)n session today rejected almost unani
mously a resolution demanding Immediate
publication of all treaties signed by tho
old regime In Russia and In emphatic terms
voiced disapproval of fraternization of Rus
sian troops with tho enemy
The decision not to press for publication
of the "secret treaties" Is In strong sup
port of the Government, which has main
tained that such action should not be taken
without consultation with Russia's allies,
lthough It favored In general tho publica
tion of all future pompacts by tho new
regime
Kercnsky Is still nt the front, exhorting
the troops to fight A new order Issued by
him was published here today It pleaded
for total abstinence from liquor In the
army
"Unless soldiers abstain from consump
tion of stores of liquor vvh'ch they discover
New Russia will bo submerged In a pool of
alcohol to the accompaniment of Incen
diarism and other outrages," Kcrcnskyde
clared "I demand that the uso of alcohol
by soldiers and olllcers bo prevented "

For now the driver of an Owen Magnetic can share
the full comfort and enjoyment of the passengers. One
little finger-level on the steering-wheel docs elf the work.
This small lever controls the remarkable magnetic
transmission used ill the Owen Magnetic, which does
away with the whole clumsy ami heavy-working ma
chinery of gear-tfansmisston, clutch, clutch-pedal, fly
wheel and shifting-levers. It also provides for starting,
lighting and an electric brake.
Previous knowledge of motor car performance is
not a criterion by which to judge the Owen Magnetic.
You must drive or ride in it Then ou will understand
why gear-driven transmissions arc obsolete.
