Tcserctelli Points Out to WOrkmen's
and Soldiers Council Peril of Such
Arrangement.

PetrOgrad, sunday, June II (via
June 1S.)-The desire to
align Russia's international pro-
gramme with that of her allies as
quickly as possible was expressed at
session of the pan-Russian
congress of all councils of workmen's
and soldiers deputies by M. Tese-
retelli, minister of posts and tele-
graphs. who coupled this expression
with sharp reputation of any idea of
a separate peace for Russia.
I'VE desire to hasten the conclusion
of q new treaty in which the prin-
ciples proclaimed by the Russian
democracy will be recognized as the
basis of the international policy Of the
allies" said M. Teseretelli m his ad-
dress. "Let us employ all possible
means to the end that our programme
may agree with that of all the allied
with our allies.
Let us reflect that the worst re-
suit of our struggle for universal
peace would be a separate peace with
Germany, which would destroy the re-
suits Of the Russian revolution and
prove disastrous to the cause Of inter-
national democracy. A separate peace
is. In fact. impossible. Such q peace
would bring Russia into q new war on
the side Of the German coalition and
would mean leaving one coalition only
to enter another"
Minister Teseretelli described the
steps taken by the government for the
summoning Of an inter-allied confer
ence for the revision Of the various
treaties. exclusive Of the London agree
ment. engaging the allies not to con-
clude a separate peace. After speaking

cabinet, Its acts and its attitude, es-
pecially regarding the war, and against
War Minister Kerensky's appeal for
an offensive. which he characterized
as treason to the interests Of interna-
tional Socialism.
M. Kerensky condemned the doc
trine enunciated by Lenine, which he
said was Marxism misinterpreted, and
said the determination with the enemy
which Lenine advocated was q remedy
quite after the heart of the German
general staff.
I'VE must prove to the internation-
ale," said the war minister, that we

we are possessed of a determination
which will not allow itself to be domi-
mated by an isolated. unorganized

M. Kerensky told of his visit to the
front and the favorable impressi Ons
that he had brought back. He con-
cluded with a defense of his acts so
energetic and convincing that the en-
tire congress. with the exception of
the Maximalists. broke out into pro-
l0nged applause"

with large lots and wide well arranged

the Huntington Beach Company, the

subway on Seventeenth street, which
eliminates the dangerous grade cross

Seventeenth street is heavy, as it is
the main entrance to the city from
the great inland districts and is the
shorest route to the ocean. This street
is ninety feet wide and has recently
been paved; it is ornamented with
