PEROGRAD. Via London, Oct. 22.)
-(2:12 a. m.)-Under instructions
from Emperor Nicholas orders were
issued today by the war office calling
out the students of universities and
high schools, who ordinarily are ex-
empt from military service. This or
der, In conjunction with the report
that the Russians had gained a de-
cisive victory, caused great enthusi-
asm among the populace. A small pa
rade, which started this afternoon,
grew in volume until the wide Nevsky
Prospect was choked with people. The
demonstration surpassed any held in
Petrograd since the beginning Of the
war. The order calling out the stu
dents, who usually are Revolutionary,
Is considered here as evidence of Rus
sia's present solidarity
