Frenkel at Yumani; NJ. Prituli. at OrlofSa; one

Thirty-seven naval officers at CrOnstadt have
resigned owing to their indignation az what
they characterize as the lenient sentences i'm
posed on mutineers by the court martial In ses-
sion there.
Last weeks statistics show that hfty-eight
officials were murdered and forty-three we're
wounded in Russia proper. that fifty stores Of
bombs were discovered. that six safes were

While l still believe that if the control of the
ministry were placed In the hands of COnserVa-

public confidence IL might he possible 10 effect
a reconciliation between the government and
people. the chances are daily. almost hourly,

course of the government is bound to drive them
further and further away from the methods 10
which committed.
