friends of constitutional government
In London, who are keeping in close
touch with Petrograd are jubilant.
The dismissal of NJ. Khvostoff, the

enjoy the confidence of the people
and contain no German taint; a gen.
eral amnesty for political prisoners,
and a constitutional regime in place
of the present bureaucracy.
