Mrs. Tillman stated In her petit

Washington, Nov 26.-Although
SO deaths occurred at national guard
9nd national army camps during the

BOLSHEVIKI WILL HAVE
RULE FOR SHORT TIME
DIR. Davis Sos'dce Declares That
Stable Government Will Follow
Present Dark Days.

Stockholm. Nov. 26.-"No matter
how dark the situation in Russia is
today-and it is dark indeed-it
must not be forgotten that Russia is
a country of unlimited possibilities,
said Mr.. Davis Soskice, confidential
secretary to A. F.. Kereusky, the de-
posed Russian premier and his right
hand man.
Bolsheviki were in control of Pc
trograd and many other places when
left the capital on Friday" con-
tinued DR.. Soskice, but they can not
maintain power. / consider four
weeks the utmost length of time
they can last. They have no sup
port except that which they have on
false promises. They are today say
ing to their adherents, We have
given you peace and land and de-
cree issued on Friday declaring all
the factories and workshops now
the property nf the workmen,"
The future government Dr. Sos
kice said, will be homogeneous all
= Socialist government. In regard to
whether the future government in
peace, Dr. Soskce expressed the
opinion that this would not he the
! case. But" he continued, "the fu-
ture govern "nert '.irl have as one of
the plank It. ,..trorm a demand
that the allies again state their war
aims and thus cut the ground from
under the feet of the German mill
/ tarists. Before the present trouble
began the government had worked
out a scheme for forming volunteer
army. The next government will
carry out this plan and will have
the cordial help of Great Britain and
America. This army will probably
not be capable of great offensive ac-
tion but it will suffice for defensive
purposes"
DIR. Soskice attributed the final
downfall Of Kerensky to what he al
luded to as the misdirected human
iatrianism Of railway employees.
/ Kerensky, he said, was advancing
from Gatchina with loyal troops and
fighting had already begun when the
all-Russian union of railway ser
wants issued an order to maintain
neutrality by refusing to move trains
carrying soldiers or munitions for
either side. The result of this was
disastrous to the Kerensky forces.
DR.. Soskice said there were ru-
mors that German officers were on
the Bolsheviki staff. He instanced
as evidence OF German activities the
discovery in the possession of one
sailor in Helsingfors of 5000, 900
Finnish marks and of 10,-.
100000 marks in the possession OF
another.
