MAX|MALISTS ARE GIVING TROUBLE
 RUSSIAN PATRIOTS
Soldiers Take Part in Dem onstratiOn Against the Provisional Govern

Petrograd, July 17.-soldiers invaded
 today and announced that publication of
 the newspaper should be stopped. They insisted on the competitors setting up
 proclamation calling on the people to
 come to the streets with arms in their hands and demand the overthrow of the provisional government and the con fiscation of the entire bourgeois press" Comrades said the proclamation,
 might is on our side We must imme- diately seize all factories, land and oth-
 CT sources of production"
 The workmen's and soldiers organ de-
 nounced the movement underlying last nights events as threatening to ruin the revolution.
 Reuters Petrograd correspondent in a dispatch dated Tuesday, telling of the disorders in the Russian capital, says: The maximalist leaders tried to pro yoke mutiny in the Petrograd garrison yesterday in consequence of reports that
 measures had been taken against some regiments at the front which had been insubordinate. The attempts at the out set met with little success, but gradually some of the soldiers were won over. Early in the evening armed groups of demonstrators paraded the streets and later motor lorries carrying machine guns appeared and moved necessarily to and fro. The people who at first for the most part kept to their houses, finding
 no disorder was taking place, filled the streets as spectators and as auditors at open-air meetings.
 "When the first regiments left their barracks to participate in the demonstra- eion, contrary to repeated orders of
 the workmen's and soldiers council, car ried arms"

General Canadian Election

Ottawa, July 17.-That general election in Canada in the near future is a virtual certainty was made ev1

Premier Borden moved that the British Parliament be asked to eN- tend the term of the Canadian Parlia- ment for year from next October, when the term would expire by statute. He said it was desirable to have the term of Parliament extended to avoid the confusion of a wartime electiod. The premier declared, however, that he would not press his extension resolu- tion unless there was clear indication that it would receive unanimous sup port by opposition as well as govern ment members, Sir Wilfrid Laurier de- clined to agree to the extension.
