ures all the governments paper cur
rency and stamps, has resigned, to be-
come president of the United States In
taglio Company, q new banknote con-

Mr.. Ralph's salary In his new posi-
tion will be far larger than the $4,000
year paid him by the government. lie
has been in Office ten years. and in that

Russian Embassy Here
Fears Crisis in Vote of
Democratic Congress
tstar Corrspondsncol

WASHINGTON, Oct. At was
stated at the Russian Embassy to-day
that a final vote by the Democratic
Conference now meeting In Petrograd
against a coalition government would
create an acute crisis. The confer
ance. 1t was said, represents a very
important part of the people, but "
does not possess the legal right to sup
plant the government.
1t was emphasized that the supreme
political power resides in the Provi-
sional Government until the Constitu-
ent Assembly is elected and convenes,
which will then be the source OF the
supreme power. The Provisional Gov
ernment constitutes the only contlnu-
ing power since the overthrow OF the
empire, and a challenge TO 1t by the
Democratic Conference might precipi-
tate clash.
The embassy's advices do not yet
make the situation in Petrograd clear,
and it was believed that there has not
been up TO this time such crystalline
ton of opposition TO or support OF the
rant any prediction as to the outcome.
The government, however, is facing
the Developments mistaken in its re-
solve not to be swerved from its an
nounced policies. which are, briefly,
the formation of a coalition cabinet,
the restoration of discipline in the
army. which is necessary to perfect the
fighting power of the military, and hos
tilty to disorganizing elements and
activities, especially the Bolsheviki.
The government, while recognizing
the importance of the Democratic Con-
ference, il was declared, and while not
seeking TO minimize the seriousness
of the political difficulties confronting
il, will not submit 10 its dietation.
The conference has in 1t the power OF
greatly impeding and also OF greatly
assisting the government. which
course ii will follow has not yet been
revealed.
The main strength Of the conference
lies in the fact that il represents
great blocks of the peasants, the SOL
diers, and the workingmen. They are
ell radicals, and the radicals have been
the most active in the revolution.
There were seen hopeful signs in the
evident splits that have occurred
among the Social revolutionists, one
group of them, headed by Avksentief
and Skobeleff, favoring a coalition gov
eminent, carrying with them con-
siderable number of peasants and
part of the soldiers. The other group,
headed by Tehernof. an extremist, in
opposed to the coalition principles.
1t was considered possible that the
curious action of the Democratic Con-
gress in first voting in favor OF
coalition ministry and later reversing
itself by an amendment might be ac-
counted for by the extremists taking
advantage Of the temporary absence
from the conference Of the conservative
Socialists to force second vote. The
votes do not disclose the strength OF
the Bolsheviki, as there are many radi-
Gals who are opposed to a coalition
government and who are opposed to
the Bolsheviki.
