PROTEST FRATERNALIZING

Petrograd, May 15.-All newspa- pers except the organs of the ex- treme party, publish articles regard ing fraternalizing of the Russian and German soldiers on the Rus sian front, pointing out that the Germans with whom the Russians are fraternalizin belong to the same army that is fiercely fight ing against the British and the French.
 Writing in the Rosskia Volta, M. Andreiff says: We visit the Germans on the front and drink the German wine and coffee. We return their hospitality; we kiss them and the Germans are ready to allow it.. While we are kissing them, other Germans are sent to kill the British and French. These are the same French and British who hurried their advance to give the Russians time to reconstruct our affairs. Stop fraternalizing. Kill for that is what the Germans will do if they every get a hold upon Russia

It is announced that a meeting of the entire delegation will be held tonight when the same question will be passed upon.
 At the same hour, what is left of the Provisional Ministry, will meet at the home of Prince Lvoff, Premier of Russia, to discuss some form of coalition which may save the country from disintegration.
 Meanwhile the Provisional lead CTS as another last resort measure to obtain unity of action among the conflictino elements, have dis patched Foreign Minister Miliukoff to the battle fronts his mission be- ing to meet with the soldiers and to plead with them to show a united front to the enemy and to stand firm for responsible united government administration at home
 This step shows how serious the situation has become and the cour- age and zeal with which the Duma leaders are now fully awake to the

sum OF $4,000 being reached when adj
ditional reports are made this Sun

The rally was planned by the pastor
OF The church, the Rev. DR.. w Samp-
son Brooks, who raised over $500 in
one rally while pastorjng at St Paul
a. M. E. Church, st. Louis. The repu-
tatlon OF DIR. Brooks as Il money raiser
caused n big crowd to assemble at
the church Monday night, mauy of
nom remained until early Tuesday
morning, when the last Of the reports
were made.
For the purpose OF the rally the
workers had been divided into groups
called annual conferences, the leader
or each of which was called o bishop.
BISHOP John Williams, Of Thousand
dollar Conference, secured the high
est amount, reporting over 5000.
The other bishops" were: Theodore
white, A. NJ Peck, Edward T. Barnett,
Daniel w. Lee, William b. Hamer.
