from Petrograd says hat Prof. Paul
Milukoff, leader of the constitutional
democrats. has reiterated the charges
made in the duma last November
against M. Sturmer, then premier, and
invited the fullest investigation of the
former premier's conduct.
M. Milukoff asserts that if the po-
litical controversy were to be trans
ferred to the courts, he would be able
to produce evidence completely sub
Stimulating his charges.
Owing to the censorship the exact
nature of the charges has not been re-
lated, blu it was made known last No

duma made a series Of sensational dis
closures and that the duma united in a
formula directed against the dark
forces" which, it vas convinced, were
undermining the nations best efforts
in the war.
