BRIEFEST REVOLT IN HISTORY
"WiIl Multiply National Force
and Patriotism"
Old Regime of Conservatives
Ousted Bag and Baggage.

Petrograd, via London, March 10
The old regime OF Conservatives has
been supplanted by a government of
Liberals. NJ. Kerenski, the new min
lister of justice, is a Socialist. He &C
cepted the portfolio on the stipulation
that there had to be absolute freedom
of speech and of the press, and full
political amnesy. The cabinet has
been chosen exclusively from present
and past members of the duma. 1t
was named by the executive commit
tee of the duma, in CONJUNCTION with
other deputies and representatives of
the working men and the soldiers
which held an all night session.
Prof. Paul Milukoff the new foreign
minister, informed the Associated
Press that the new regime was deter
mined on the elimination of Emperor
Nicholas and the regency of Grand
Duke Michael.
I'VE shall not change these de-
mands," he said. I'VE shall have this,
or fall. We can accept nothing else. -
Champions of Peoples Rights
The new cabinet contains men who
led in the struggle against the old gov
eminent and enjoyed full confidence
and M. ShingarOff, the new minister
of agriculture, have become especially
prominent as champions of the rights
OF the people. 1t is due to Professor
Milukoff that revelations regarding
the political intrigue and corruption
Of the old reactionary government
were brought before the public.
While the duma and the working
mems committee agreed upon the
cabinet, they still remained somewhat
at odds regarding the form the new
government shall assume. The work
ing mems deputies wished to leave this
question undecided until after the
holding of a constitutional assembly,
which will be charged with revising
the present constitution desiring to
call this assembly without delay.
Peoples Assembly to Decide.
The duma group, fearing dangers
to the country in the absence of a
definite government suggested abdica-
ton of the emperor and the regency
of Grand Duke Michael. This will be
the temporary arrangement pending
the decision of the constitutional as
sembly.
The following additional cabinet ap-
pointments have been made.
Minister of trade and commerce
A. L. Konovaloff.
Procurator general of the holy sy-
nod-M. Lvoff.
Prince Lvoff, the new premier, is
president of the central committee of
all Russian Zemstvo unions.
THE re-esta blishment of a power
capable of achieving a victory, as
demonstrated by recent events, will
increase the popular enthusiasm and
multiply the national forces of the
peoples anger and their determine
ton" declared Professor Paul Mil
ukoff, new minister of foreign affairs
today. "Our revolution was the short
est and least bloody of any in his
tory he asserted

cheering thousands who congregated
in Broadway during the noon hour

Gerard. former United States ambas-
sador to Germany, reached New York
today.
Responding to welcoming addresses
before the city hall, Gerard paid trib-
ute to President Wilson, declaring that
if war comes it will be only after the
president has exhausted his last eff
fort to steer clear of the maelstrom.
Gerard expressed pleasure ''tslat a

those whose names were on the well
coming committee.
at is not surprising" he said, that
a man of German origin should feel
a sentimental duty to be loyal to a
certain extent to the fatherIand but
if the need arises they will all be
found loyal. If it should be necessary

these men into war without any fear
of being shot in the back"
Gerard declared he was astonished
to find that this country had made
no tangible move toward national de-

it is the only solution of the prob
lem," he said, discussing the threaten

TURKS FALL BACK
No Halt to Their Flight North
ward From Bagdad.
French Take Aggressive on
Macedonian Front.
(By Associated Press,)

The Turks apparently have not halt
ed their flight northward from Bag
dad on the west bank of the Tigris,
where they were last reported by Con-
stantinople as somewhere to the south
of Samara, 20 miles north of Bagdad.
General Maude, the British COM
mander, reports them continuing to
fall back.
On the other size of the Tigris, how
ever, the Turkish forces are appar-
emily endeavoring to hold on, for
time at least to territory lying north
east from Bagdad, toward the Persian
border. General MauGe's report an
nounces occupation by the British of
a portion of Bakubah, on the Diala
river about 80 miles northeast of Bag
dad. 1t seems not unlikely that the
Turkish purpose is to hold off the
British in this region as a measure OF
assistance 10 the Turkish armies
from KeI manshah, which at last ac-
counts were retreating toward the
Persian border not far north of the
present point Of contact between Brit
ish and Turks on the Diala. The Brit
ish object in driving northeastwa I'd
seems to be to push a wedge between
the Turkish Mesopotamian forces and
the ottoman troops retiring along the
-Bagdad Caravan road
Fighting of notable importance is
taking place on the Macedonian front,
the French have been on the aggres-
sive with considerable forces there for
some days. Today's Berlin reports say
several attacks by the French occurred
yesterday northwest and north of
Monastir- The Germano-Bulgaria n
position near Nijopole, six miles west
OF Monastid, was admittedly preached
in this series of assaults. Otherwise
the attacks are declared to have fail
ed. as did French attack farther west

In the house of commons today the
British chancellor of the excheouer
indicated that an appeal to the coun-

desire of Great Britain to avoid cleo

obviate the necessity of holding them

son bill.
Press Shopmen In Service.
Should large percentage of
the brotherhoodS affected on the
santa Fe strike, it is known that the
big western road has resources from
it's non-unionized shop men that can
be pressed into service. NJ. j. Drury,
superintendent of shops, this morning
refused to state how many men he
knew to be available to run trains
should the strike really materialize.
Stand by Santa Fe?
Employees in the four brotherhoods
of the Santa Fe system, west of Chi
cago. have received orders to strike
Tuesday night, it was stated here by
members of the brotherhoods who re-
fused to allow their names to be pub
fIished. Withholding their names was
taken to indicate that Santa Fe en-
ployes, at least, would stand by their
road.
A press dispatch received from the
east tends to confirm the impression
here that the Santa Fe employees will
not strike.
1.-The declaration has often been
made since railroad strike doomed
big on the American Industrial hori-
zon that the Santa Fe employees would
not strike when the call actually
came" reads the dispatch.
Apparently noticeable was the lack
of nervousness in the Office of E. Ray
mond, general superintendent. He
didn't seem to have any worries at
all, was issuing no orders prepara-
tory for a strike of such dimensions
and spent the entire forenoon working
on a plan for some roadbed changes.
Officials in Chicago.
1.-THE only strike news l have came
from the newspapers" he said.
However, the executives of both
side of the big road seem to have Sc
lected Chicago as their headquarters.
F. C. Fox, general manager, is in CHI
cago Two of the big brother
hood men also are in Chicago, C. E.
Hampstead, local chairman of the B.
of L. E. and E., and treasurer of the
western division, and w. c. Keiser
chairman of the western division. II
is expected that all big orders concern
ing the strike on western roads will
come from Chicago.
