TWO MINISTER'S
HELD BY RUSS
Soldiers Demanded Former
War Minister Be Turned
Over to Them
BY associated Press

London, March 16.-Premier Colt
zine, Minister of the Interior Proto-
popoff and the minister of justice were
among those arrested and brought to
the duma building by the revolution
airy executive committees orders, ac-
cording to a Reuters Petrograd dis
patch. Premier Golitzine was later
released, but the other two ministers
are still held.
The dispatch says that when the
soldiers guarding the duma learned of
the arrival there under arrest Of Cen
eral Soukhomlinoff, former minister
of war, they loudly demanded that he
be surrendered to them. The deputies
had great difficulty in calming the
troops, who insisted that at least the
generals epaulets be torn off. The
former minister submitted quietly to
this degradation.
General Soukhomlinoff was minister
of war from March, 1909, until June,
1915, when he resigned. Shortly after
his resignation sensational charges
were brought against him of graft,
treason and of being in the pay of the
Germans.
