PETROGRAD. July 13.-The Finnish
diet Thursday passed the second read
Ing of a bill virtually establishing
Finnish independence. The introduc-
ton of the bill has created a serious
crisis here. and N. C. Tcheidse, presi-
dent Of the council of workmen's and
soldiers delegates. has gone to Helslng-
fors in an effort to settle the differ
encee.
An indication of the seriousness OF
Petrograd cabinet and decision of
Premier Lvof to summon back to the
capital the ministers who are now with
the army. According to the Birzheviya.
Themselves in principle in sympathy
with Finland's move. The premier and
other ministeries belonging to the abb
net party refuse. however. to allow
with Russia. insisting she must wait
until the meeting of the constituent
assembly.
The comment of the newspapers in
Petrograd Is sharp. The Reich declares
1t Is impossible for Russia to tolerate
Finlands move. The Birzheviya hints
at armed interference. saying Russia Is
now about to make last attempt to-
ward peaceful settlement.
Will Ignore Russia, It Is Said.
According to present program. Hell
singfors will tomorrow put the bill
passed Thursday into force "by simple
declaration" meaning without Russia s
sanction. This is the first formal de-
NAL of Russia's suzerain rights.
The law, which was engineered by the
socialists, proclaims that Russia has
lost all authority in Finland except in
the domains of diplomacy and in the
army and navy. wherein. however, Rus
sia's rights are underlined. All other
prerogatives Of the Grand Duke of Fin
land, which the provisional government
claims passed automatically to 1t, be-
long to Finland. Specifically the diet
assumes the grand dukes right to put
into execution the law. convoke and

dressed the social democrats of all
