Progressive bloc pointed out that the action of the government during the last year created serious impedi- ments to successful conclusion of the struggle.
 The leader of the constitutional Democrats. M. IIiu&off made a re- markable and very powerful speech. which was listened to with the clos est attention by the whole Duma
 or particular interest were those passages in which he criticised the tendencies of Russian diplomacy dur ing the last three months. His speech is not published in the report of the Duma sitting. Things were said yesterday that can not be for gotten or lightly passed over, and the further development of the rela- tions between the government and the Duma is matter of highest in- terest not only to Russia but to all the Allies.

Warm Speeches Are Made When Russian Duma Opens Sessions
 at Petrograd.
DIPLOMATS CRITICISED
Peace Advocates Given to Understand That They Considered
 Criminals.

PETROGRAD. Nov 2O Through out the country the opening Of the Russian Parliament was eagerly awaited. as number Of questions have arisen which urgently require discussion and 1t wae hoped the Duma would be able to throw light on the present complicated political situation. In both houses strong in. teresting speeches were made, and there were dramatic incidents which conditions of the telegraph prevent description in full
 One thing is clear: Tie Germans will find no ground fer satisfaction with the speeches. Both Houses were emphatic in declaring the nee cssity Of fighting the war to a vic torious finish.
 The very severe criticism lcyelled against the government was to re. move tho causes which prevent the nation devotiDg all it's energies to the successful completion of the war. One of the principal speakers on the right characterized those men who advocated the idea of separate peace as state criminals
 Cheer Buchanan
 The Duma gave ample favorable reply Co tEe malicious rumors re. gently circulated by prc-Germans against England. When Rodsianko, in his speech. expressed gratitude and loyalty to the Allies, enc deputy cried:
 Long live England" and a tre- mendcus ovation was given to Am bassador Sir George Buchanan, The whole House rose and checred.
 In a declaration of the progressive bloc, composed of a majority of the Duma, a special massage was deyot cd to the services of England to the common cause
 The main theme of the speeches was the necessity of a change Of system which would bring the gov. ernment in closer touch with public | opinion. The most moderate crlu' cism of the government was that made by Nationalist Leader Balash' ev, who emphasized the lack of plan and unity on the part of the gov ernment
 "The constant change of person. nel," he said, "the publication of iH considered and inconsistent measures insufficient use of local government organs, and a wholly impossible conflict of authority have created a situation very dangerous for further work behind the fighting line and extremely favorable to display ol predatory instincts"

OTTAWA, Nov. 20. The depart ment Of naval service has received a bundle of reports from Vlhialmur Stefansson, who is exploring in the Arctic regions for the Canadian gov. esnment.

The New York Times has two mailed dispatches from the eX- plorer himself, dated from Banks Land.

Held By Heavy Ice

The Polar Eo@-. one of Che yes- sells of the expedition, with eleven whites and thirteen Eskimos at Kel- lett Base. on the afternoon of Sep tember 13. 1915. attempted the round- ing of Cape Kellett going north, but was prevented by heavy ice brought down by the northwest winds of the previous night and fore noon. For a full month previous to September there was no ice on this portion of the coast. On ac- count of freezing temperature and northwest winds we headed south east to try to reach Melville Island by way of Prince of Wales strait but were stopped by heavy ice on the Victoria Island coast, ten miles east of Princess Royal Island.
 "We are wintering on the ship sheltered by grounded ice, and are not in danger before the ice moves in the summer of 1915.
 "I sent party to survey as much as convenient Of the northeast coast of Victoria Island The porty got back to the Polar Bear on No- yember 2.
 "I learned here that Wilkins with the North Star (another vessel with the expedition) was wintering on the west coast of Banks Island, "A degrees north latitude"
 The Return Journay
 Concluding the first letter, which deals with work attempted during the fall and winter of 1915, and prospects for the following spring, Stefansson closes
 Should the Polar Bear penetrate to Melville Island or further north she will attempt returning by the Atlantic or Pacific route, according to the convenience of the plan of maintaining a base at Kellett to re- treat upon in case of the wreck of the Polar Bear further north. There would be no need to worry about us because of mere lack of news before November 1918"
