now shows signs of breaking up
Petrograd, May 14-General Ouch.
koh. minister Of war has resigned.
In announcing his resignation at
yesterdays meeting Of the congress OF
delegates from the front, NJ Guchkoff
read the following letter sent by him
to Premier Lvoff.
I'm view of the condition of which
the power of the government has been
placed. especially the authority of the
minister OF war in relation to the army
and the navy. condition which l am
powerless to alter and which threat
ems to have consequences fatal to the
defense, the liberty. and even the ex-
istence of Russia, can no longer ex-
ercise the functions of minister Of war
and marine and share responsibility
for the grave sin being committed
against the country"
RESULT OF INTERFERENCE.
The resignation Of General Ouch
koff follows that of General korni-
loff, commander of the Petrograd gar
rison. and is due to similar reasons.
General Korniloff said his position had
become impossible on account of the
efforts of the various organizations to
control the garrison. the last straw
which led to his resignation having
been demand by the executive COM
mittee of council Of workmens and SOL
diers' delegates that all his orders be
presented to the committee for it's en-.
dorsement.
General Guchkoff has been leading
figure In the Octoberist party for years
but during the war little was, heard of
him until the time OF the revolution
when he was appointed minister of
war and navy ad interim. Since that
time he has issued many appeals to the
troops and the workmen to support the
government and continue the war Wig
orously.
COUNCIL DEFENDS COURSE.
The semi-official news agency today
gave out the following:
"The report that the council of work
mems and soldiers delegates has call
ed for an armistice Is denied. The ques-
ticsl of an arInistice has never been
raised by the council, which on the
contrary Is engaged at present in draft
ing an appeal to the soldiers at the
front. pointing out the inadvisablity
Of separate peace or Of fraternizing
with the enemy"

The Associated Press)-British troops
have Just about completed the ABSORB

tually similar situation exists in Roeux.
GERMAN ARDoR cooLs.
Since the British victory on Satur-
day the German counter attacks have
lacked much of their recent fierceness.
The number OF prisoners taken during
this time has been exceptionally large
for the character of the operation and
the number OF troops involved.
These may merely be coincidents,
or 1t may be that the Germans have
become tired of sending so many OF
their troops to their death in massed
formation. The German soldiers have
been fighting very stoutly since re-
serves were thrown into the Arras
area.
The heat wave in the fighting dis.
trict has been broken temporarily by
q series OF thunderstorms.
