Last nights reports from Petrosradl
indicates tho defeat Of the bolsheviki
at the polls. and the practical destruc-
ton OF their influence upon the Russian
masses, an indication OF the steady
growth Of Kerensky's position. The
Premier himself has repeatedly repu-
dated the idea OF separate peace.

diplomats hero is that ono purpose OF
his statements was to emphasize tho
need Of ample supplies of money and
material to strengthen his hands. $50
