RUSS PROMISE

Prototype of Home Guard

Pledged.

Petrograd, Sept. 25.-The new min
lister of the interior, NJ. Nikitine.
today declared in an interview that
the provisional government will lend
all its forces toward putting into ef-
feet the program outlined at the Mos
COW conference. The minister said
an important beneficial measure was
the new formation of the militia, to
be recruited from the army elements.
Concerning the conference to be held
by the democratic organizations. the
minister asserted that the government
will regard it as a conference of yari-
Gus groups of the population. The
provisional government, he added,
would in some form or other take
part in the conference and make a
statement before 1t outlining the route
which IL proposes to follow up to the
moment of the convocation of the con-
stituent assembly.
The conference continues to be the
chief subject of press discussion. The
independent liberal organ, Birjevya
Niedomosty, demands that the confer
ence be forbidden and. should ii be
allowed to convene, that 1t be sub
sequently closed.

peace detrimental to Russia. 1t sees
solution in the recovery of the armies
combative power and peace propa-
ganda by the International democracy.
Thinks New Surprises Due.
The paper asserts that secret di-
plomacy is striving to unraveI mex
tricable difficulties, and that even
greater surprises may be looked for"
1t continues:
The diplomacy Of the two groups
of beligerents will endeavor to liqui-
date this war Independent from the
influence of Russia's dreams and the
humanitarian ideals of President Will
son.
But you may rely upon It, The
socialists of Europe and America will
not permit such Tefarious solution.
Russia continues to divert consider
able TeutOn forces from allied fronts.
She has the right to demand OF the
allied democracy that the peace pro-
gram is not drafted on the basis OF
the situation on the Russian front
Novoye Nremya and Russkoye
VOLTA expresses the belief that there is
no possibility Of negotiations now since
peace depends upon Russia. Peace
now, these organs assert, would
strengthen Germany even more to
the detriment of the allies.
Russkoye VClia believes the pres
ent peace talk originated in Germany,
and adds all such talk will stop at
the moment the democratic congress
is convened.
