RUSSIA'S GREATEST CRISIS MOVES
RAPIDLY TOWARD DECISIVE EVENTS
HIGHLIGHTS IN RUSSIA'S GREATEST CRISIS TODAY
FIRST victory against the counter-revolutionists has been won by thj
forces of the provisional Government. Premier Kcrensky's troops met
the vanguard of the rebels twenty-six miles from tho capital nnd brought
them to a halt by determined resistance.
At another point, however, Korniloff's columns have reached Gatschina,
nineteen miles from Petrograd.
The Don Cossacks, led by General Kaledin, have joined the rebellion.
Klembovsky, named to succeed KornilofT as conimumler-in-chicf, has gone
over to his former leader, along with Generals Denikine and Vnluycff, com
manders of the western and southwestern fronts.
Despite the multiplication of his enemies, Premier Kercnsky maintains
a firm grip on the situation and is confident the revolt will "be crushed
by the loyal troops, acting in concert with his followers among the people.
I'KTItO('ItM). Sept. 12.
The provisional Government has proclaimed a general state oT martial
law. Announcement was also made that provisional Government forces are
now in possession of Pskoff, originally General KornilolT's headquarters and
from which city he started ott his rebellious march toward Pelrograd.
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD
PETROGRAD, Sept. 12.
Tsarkoe Selo, where the Czar formerly spent most of his time in his
summer palace, may be the scene of the first big clash between General
Korniloff's lebels and the provisional Government troops. Premier Kercnsky"
has massed n heavy force at that point.
Word received hetc today said the revolting forces were advancing rapidly
toward Tsarkoe Selo twenty miles from the city and that a clash was
momentarily expected there.
Progrcns of Korniloff's advanced forces was stopped at one point twenty
six miles from the city by a force of a thousand Government; sharpshooters,
according to word here. t
In another direction the encircling attempt of the Kornilolf rebels has
reached Gatschina, nineteen miles ftom tho city.

Advice to Philadelphia
"PHILADELPHIA dealers are
working off their coal at the
very highest prices they can get in
anticipation of the price being put
on it by the Government. I can as
sure the consumers that the price
will be put on it as quickly as pos
sible, certainly before the end of this
mouth, anil I would advise them to
hold off buying coal at exorbitant
prices until then. The excuse given
by the dealers, that they must bid
for coal from independent opera
tors, is worth very little, for the in
dependent operator, cannot demand
a price beyond that fixed by tho
Piesidcnl for coal at the mines.
"You can say for me with tho
utmost assurance that Philadel
pliituiH will get their coal for win
ter and that they will get it at rea
sonable priccSfin spite of the pres
ent situation."
