NEW RUSSIAN PREMIER.
Alexander Prepoff Named Because Of
Political Conditions.


London, Nov 24.-Alexander Prepoff
Russian minister of railways, has been
appointed premier, according to Reu-
ter dispatch from Petrograd. The re-
firing premier, NJ. Sturmer, by an i'm
perial ukase, has been appointed grand
chamberlain of the imperial court, re-
tanning his functions as a member OF
the council Of the empire.
Petrograd newspapers say that the
appointment of M. Prepoff as premier
implies the necessity that the govern
nent make communication to ,parlia-
ment explaining the impending prob
lens of government.
-. 1.-THE retirement of Premier Sturmer
and the appointment &of NJ. Trepoff as
his successor probably are outgrowths
of what has been referred to in a
few carefully censored Petrograd dis
patches recently as serious political
crisis The change apparently inn
plies victory for the liberal elements
of Russia over the bureaucratic regime,
for NJ. Sturmer always has been prom
inent IN the affairs of the Russian
bureaucracy. while NJ. Trepoff in tho
past has engaged in variety Of re-
form work.
A recent Petrograd dispatch quoted
Paul Miloukoff, one Of the prominent
liberal leaders. as saying an agree
ments md been reached between the
goverss IG1if and the duma. which was
entirely satisfactory 20 ttsexepresenta-
tives Of the people. but there has been
no intinats6n that this would result in
the retirement Of the premier. In fact,
a dispatch filed in Petrograd Wednes-
day quoted theswell informed Russky
Slovo toathe effect that NJ. Sturmer
was convincsd the crisis had passed
and that ths existing order would re-
main without change for the present

verdun. Sept 3.-After six months
of military effort unparalleled In the
worlds history. Nerdun remains well
outside the German grasp,
Half a million men sacrificed by
Germany in this attempt have gone
into the useless holocaust. Having
had an opportunity today OF thor
oughly inspecting the whole Meuss
battlefield from an exceptionally fins
vantage point, l am convinced that
Verdun will never fall into the ene-
my's hand.
At the same time there Is plenty
Of evidence that this greatest battle
In the worlds history Is by no meanA
over. These blood -drenched ruvines,
In which the two greatest continental
nations have poured out their very
life blood, have proved Falkenhayn' s
graveyard and cost the crown prince
his popularity.
The military riddle at the moment
Is whether Hindenburg can or will
wish to persist in this titanic strug-
gle. The fact is that the initiative
has now passed into French hands
and with Joffre's commensurate on
the Somme. the French are able to
smash the German reserves with two
deadly pistons couple OF hundred
miles apart. working sometimes alter
nately, sometimes simultaneously.
