standing development today of more
than a week of startling develop

The message which Foreign Min
ister Minukoff sent to all diplomatic
lands is looked upon here as a cor
nerstone OF the new governments
structure.
The government cannot forget
for a single instant the grave ex-
ternal circumstances in which il as
sumes power the message said.

has been drenching Europe in blood
for nearly three years. She
will fight by their (the allies) side
against the common enemy until the
end. without cessation and without
faltering."
Assembly Will Decide.
NJ Miliukoff's communication to
the diplomats also cleared up ma
terially the exact status of the pres
ent government, and the Grand
Duke Michael's connection with it,
The new government will exist only
until general assembly of soc duly
representative citizens can be elect
