Better. I tot Million at An End. Washington, Sept. 17.-Gen. Alex ieff's appointment to supreme com mand of the Russian armies will be followed by a general reorganization, In which old generals will give place to new ones. First definite news of the reorgan ization was received at the Russian embassy to-day in dispatches from Petrograd. Confidence of the troops is being restored by the removal of the former generals, the dispatches said, and the situation is rapidly clearing. The Kornlloff uprising seems to have been quelled without bloodshed, and Russian officials here say that tho government now is stronger than ever. Strong discipline has been es tablished In the army by Gen. Alex leff and the spirit of the troops ls said to be excellent. The atlvicos to the Russian embassy here say that if the rebels had known of the true condi tions In Petrograd they would not hnve made any move in the nature of an armed rebellion. The military situation is said to be progressing satisfactorily and the armies are fulfilling their task of keeping as many Germans as possi ble on the Russian front. This is in dicated by the report that the Ger mans have now more troops than ever before on the Russian lines. During the last five days the Russian troops have regained seven miles.
