All ministers OF the overthrown pro-

thrown into jail, according to official
cablegrams reaching the State De

at Petrograd today.
The messages, which being diplo-

by the Bolsheviki, which Is in charge
of the telegraphs, were the FIRST that
have come from the American envoy
since Kerensky was ousted from
power and forced to fee the capital.

Bolshevikl is completely in control in

that II was extremely difficult to OBJ

FATE Of RUSSIA
RESTS ENTIRELY
WITH PEASANTS

LONDON. Nov. 1o.-The London Times
Balkan correspondent sends the follow
ing By mail from Odessa:
The fate Of Russia depends on the
peasantry. which Is % per cent Of the
population and supplies an even greater
proportion Of the rank and fle Of the
army. Thus It win form the vast bulk
Of the electorate Of the new democracy
and Possesses the armed force necessary
to enforce It's decisions.
The writer has been touring southern
Russia, inqulring into conditions among
the agrariAn population In view Of the
evident well-being OF the great majority
Of the peasants in these regions Il might
naturally be supposed the agitation
among them Is purely OF a Fictitious
character-the reflex Of the noisy dema-
gogism in the towns. This to some ex-
tent Is the case, but the movement In
the main Is based on the deep-rooted be-
lief Of the peasants themselves that the
land is really theirs. and that landlord
ism is but a transient institution. des-
tined to perish with the disappearance
Of autocratic power.
speeches advocating plunder and
violence are generally made by
town-bred demagogues. The more
Intemperate the language the more
loudly 1t Is applauded by the peasants.
But the native shrewdness OF the rus
tics provides an antidote for the rev
olutionary fever. 1T is all very fine.'
said an elderly peasant after listening
to one OF these infiammatory har
angues; but will the land 60 round
among us all?'
This crucial question had an inter
esting reply provided by onS of the
agrarian officials OF the government
Of Kherson. He shows by statistics
that even in that province, where the
amount OF land available for distribu-
tion and now belonging to private
owners and corporate bodies, IL far
greater than in most other govern
ments. the actual holdings OF the
peasant families averaging sc desia-
tines-about Is acres-could only be
Increased by or s desiatines as a re-
suit of general distribution. In the
neighboring governments OF Podolia
and Kief the increase would be only

the nature Of a reply to the speech
made recently in the House OF Com

Of the admiralty.
In references to the losses OF Brit

Sir Erie omitted sinlSIngs in the Med

ing for this omission and for the as
Sumable fact that Sir Eric gave net
tonnage while Germany gives gross
tonnage, the British and German fig
ures nearly correspond. In regard to
the losses Of submarines the state
ment says:
"Sir Eric Geddes sttempted with In
adequate means TO reduce the Ger
