al to sign wage scales which shall

COUNT WTlE WANTS
CONSTITUTION NOW

st. Petersburg, Jan. 2.-Premiee
Witte is again strongly urging thr
emperor to Immediately promulgate
a moderate constitution for the double
purpose Of reassuring the liberals that
the present war against the ''reds"
does not mean reaction and blocking
the attempt, which undoubtedly will
be made when the national assembly
convenes to transform that body into
a constituent assembly. Moreover,
the plan has heavy backing, and the
emperor is showing an inclination to
accept it.
The premier is understood to have
informed his majesty that such an act
would be q master stroke at the pres
emit juncture and might rally the
whole body Of conservative and iber-
al opinion to the side Of the govern
ment.

DECISION. Is MADE
TO TAKE UP ARMS

st. Petersburg, Jan. 2.-The coun-
Gil of workmsn has held secret meet
ing, and, after an eight hour session,
adopted resolution to call of the
strike because the fight Of the people
against the government can no longer
be limited to the disorganization Of
the economic life of the nation
through universal strike, and is al
ready in many parts Of the country
taking on the character Of an armed
uprising.

ties, y tho resolution concludes de-

DURNOVO SLATED TO-.
SUCCEED N. WlITE

st. Petersburg, Jan. 2.-The report
that Count Witte is booked for retire
ment in few days is again being per-
sistently circulated. The Nasha Shisn,
which declares it can guarantee the
accuracy of its statement, says that
M. Durnovo, minister Of the interior
who is worshipped as an idol by the
court camarilla, which believes that
his stern policy alone can put an end
to existing anarchy, has accomplished
the downfall of the count and will be
elected to the premiership.
Investigation by the Associated
Press, however, indicates that the re-
port is baseless, certainly for the mo-
ment. Nevertheless it is true that M.
Durnovo has powerful cabal Of reac-
tionaries behind him, and temporarily
seems to dominate the situation.

MILITARY ACTIVITY
In FRANCE EXPLAINED

Paris, Jan. 4.-The ambassador of
one of the powerss said yesterday that
careful inquiry had convinced him
that the recent revival of French mil
itary activity which has given rise to
alarmist reports was due mainly to
change from the military methods Of
M. Berteaux, the late minister of war,
to those of M. Etienne, the present
minister of war.
8 M. Berteaux belongs to the Social
lists, whose cardinal principle is oppo-
sition to war and reduction Of mill.
tary expenditures. Those naturally
resulted in inactivity in military cir
cles.
M. Berteaux's precipitate .resigna-
tion has brought M. Etienne in con-
troll of the military administration
and he Immediately adopted vigor-
GUS policy, not for belligerent pur.
poses, but in execution of the general
desire to have the army in the perfect
state of efficiency it lacked.
It is believed that while Morocco
may have accumulated the need for
military alertness, yet the chief cause
OF the recent military activity is the
adoption of M. Etienne's energetic
policy of having the army ready "
fulfill its functions whenever requlreu

guerilla warfare consisting of the dis

wherever they are found alone on the
streets, the use of bombs from ambush
and other acts of terror. The council
drew up proclamation to the Cos
sacks, warning them that if they con-
tinued to fight against the people they
would be treated like mad dogs, and
if they wished to be treated like broth
ers they should remain in their bar
racks. An appeal was also drawn up
requiring the proletariat of all coun-
tries to support the fight begun at
