Will Execute Policy.
Premier Kerensky's policy will be ex-
ecuted by the new war ministry. Yer
kovsky, and the new chief of staff, NJ
Tcheremisoh. The latter was for a short
front. from which post he was dis
missed as the result of the insistence
of Gen. Korniloff.
Minister verkovsky last night ex-
planned to the central committee OF the
council Of workmen's and soldiers del
egates his plans for army reform. He
declared that when he was commander
in the Moscow district he restored dis
with the soldiers and by keeping har-
mony among the officers. Cooperation
with the officers enabled him to carry
out reforms without sacrificing the
technical efficiency Of the troops.

Democratic Congress.
Russia's political question of imme-
diate interest is the democratic con-
sress summoned by the central soldiers
and workmen's council, which is to
meet IN Petrograd on September 25
and which is proclaimed as of more i'm
portance than the recent congress at
MOSCOW. The program of the congress
Is TO settle the question of organiza-
tion or authority which will lead the
country to constituent assembly"
That means to settle the cabinet Ques-
tion and to constitute parliament to
which the cabinet will be responsible
In the congress will participate 100
representatives of municipalities. fifty
OF Zemstevos. $50 of cooperative or
carnations, seventy-seven of military
organizations. 100 of labor unions, 500
OF the councils of soldiers and work
mems deputies and also representatives.

CARNATIONS and national unions on a
basis which will practically exclude al
together the bourgeoise and propertied
classes. Members Of the duma have not
been invited
In view of the early converting of the
democratic congress and the uncertainty
as to the temper of that body, it is re-
garded likely that no further ca binet an
pointments win be announced at present.
Maximalists May Lose.

Sensational Account.
A sensational account is given by an
arrested Petrograd politician, NJ. Do
prinsky. who implies that the origin
of the rebellion was the creation of the
coalition cabinet against the resistance
of Bolsheviki extremists and pacifists.
Vladimir Lvof, a supporter of the
plan. according to NJ. Dobrinsky, was
sent to negotiate with Gen. Kornfloff

himself to be unsurpassed by Lvoff' $
mission and expressed himself in favor
OF democracy, saying:

throne only over my corpse"
