New Cabinet Of Russia
Composed Of Leaders
in Confident Struggle

Petrograd. March Is, via London.
March 16.-The old regime of Conser-
vatives has been supplanted by a gov
ernment of Liberals. NJ. Kerenski, the
new minister of justice is a Socialists.
He accepted the portfolio on the stipu-
lation that there should be absolute
freedom of speech and of the press and
full political amnesty. The cabinent has
been chosen exclusively from present
and past members of the Duma. 1t
was named by the executive committee
OF the Duma, in conjunction with other
deputies and representatives Of the
worklngmen and the soldiers which
held an all night session. Prof. Paul
M1lukoff the new regime minister, in
formed the Associated Press that the
new regime was determined on the
elimination of Emperor Nicholas and the
regency of Grand Duke Michael.
We shall not change these demands"
he said I'VE shall have this or fall.
We can accept nothing less"
The new cabinet consists of men who
led in the struggle against the old gov
ernment and enjoyed full confidence
OF the country. Professor Milukoff and
NJ. Shingaroff, the new minister of agri-
culture have become especially promi-
nent as champions of the rights of the
people.
1t is Cue to Prof. Milukoff that reve-
lations regarding the political intrigue
and corruption of the old reactionary
government were brought before the
country.
While the Duma and the working
mems committee agreed upon the cab
met they still remained somewhat at
odds regarding the form the new gov
ernment shall assume. The working
mems deputies wished to leave this
question undecided until after the hold
ing Of a constitutional assembly which
will be charged with revising the pres
ent constitution, desiring to call this
assembly without delay. The Duma
group fearing dangers to the coun-
try in the absence of a definite govern
ment. suggested abdication of the En-
peror and the regency of the Grand
Duke Michael. This will be the tempo
rary arrangement, pending the decis
ion Of the constitutional assembly.
The following additional cabinet ap-
pointments have been made
Minister Of trade and commercial.
T. Konovaloff.
Procuratcr general Of the holy Synod
NJ. Lvoff.

the war as an active participant unless
the terms offered by the Entente become
so attractive as to outweight opposition
to such step on the issues at pres

Germany, according to information here.
The former presented Americas note
urging neutrals to follow the American

he did not believe China would dare take
such a step. Between the two, II is now
learned. China felt there was only one
