WHICH DEPOSED THE CZAR-
NEW ELECTIONS ORDERED.

LONDON Nov. 8.--Maximalists have
obtained control of the situation in
Petrograd and issued a proclamation,
stating the new government will pro-
pose immediate peace.
The semi-ofIicial Russian news agency
announces that the MaXimalists were
assisted by the Petrograd garrison,
making the coup possible without
bloodshed
One of the first acts of the Maxi
malists after securing possession Of
the government was to depose Premier
Kerensky heretofore looked upon as
the strong man of Russia
Leon Trotsky, president of the Cen
trail Executive Committee of the Pet
rograd Council of Soldiers and Work
mems Delegates, issued declaration
this afternoon stating the Provisional
Government established by Kerensky
no longer exists, and some of its con-
stitueut members have been placed
under arrest.
Grave fears are entertained that
