 formation of a coalition government with M. Kerensky as q chief who had all the qualifications for success.
 After an interval the debate was re- stunned and Vice Premier Nekrasoff announced the demands that had been made by General Korniloff for assur- ances from Petrograd that he would have drastic powers, without which he wou q not take over the chief com m1nd of the Russian armies.
 A counter revolution exists, added M. Nekrasoff, and is growing day by day. Therefore, the restoration of a strong government, he declared must be immediate.
 The only matter on which there is not unanimity in the counsels of the leaders is the status of the councils of deputies. A representative of the counsel of soldiers and workmen gave warning that in his opinion the pro- posed exclusion of the councils from influence over the government would prove the consummation of the exist ing anarchy. "The councils" according to his expressed view, are the only creative force so far produced by the revolution"

to save current and to make the

Ruth Lewis, II years old, of

be movie queen. She says her
home is happy but it isn't getting
her anywhere in her career.
Probably Ruth's researches in
modern literature have not yet
led her very deep into the study
of suffrage theories. The eco

They generally develop into a
chronic trouble - extravaganza.
And a few years later, an unsus-

Mothers clubs depore conditions

that "by getting a daughters con-

never so far apart as at the high
school age.
