Russia Seeks Friendly
Control of Finland
Embassy Says Public Opinion
Is Behind Dissolution
of House
From The Tribune Bureau

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The Rus
sian Provisional Government has ex-
tended the hand of Russian democracy
to Finland in brotherly fashion. That
is the reason Petrograd ordered a spe-
cial election in Finland after dissolving
the Finnish House, which voted indie
pendence OF Russian connection, ac-
cording to a statement made at the
Russian Embassy to-day.
The new elections are TO be held
within two months. II they are not
held, Russia will exercise force. The
embassy said public opinion in Russia
supports the government in issuing the
manifesto dissolving the Finnish House,
even the organ Of the Council Of Work
mems and Soldiers Deputies indorsing
the policy.
The Russian Governor of Finland has
reasserted his authority, and there is
no expectation that any future diff
culties in the country will necessitate
the use of armed force to compel Fin
land to live up TO its constitution and
to its engagements with Russia.

U-Boat Chasers
Discarded as Too
Slow and Weak
Trial Trip of Proposed Sub
marine Fighter Revealed
Vital Defects

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Secretary
Daniels confirmed to-day the report
that the government had abandoned the
construction of the 1l0-foot U-boat
chasers. He explained that the boats
were not heavy enough for the work
required and could not stay out long
enough to hunt the submarine with its
present radius OF action. The Navy
Department would concentrate upon
building destroyers, and was succeeding
in greatly expediting their construc-
tor.
According to we'll authenticated
story heard here in Washington, the
immediate reason why the 1l0-foot
boat is being abandoned is that the de-
sign in accordance with which 1t was
built proved impracticable. The first
chaser received its trial trip the other
day. 1t is reported that it drew con-
siderably more water than it was sup
posed to draw, that its speed fell short
of expectations, being not much more
lIdIl W cudDlC IL w bcN wv Va
the way of a submarine, and that its
deck was not strong enough to stand
the firing of the gun mounted upon 1t.
May Use Those Built
It is understood that the defects in
the boats can be partly rectified, so
that those which have been built or
which are on the way toward compile
ton can be made of some service in
submarine patrolling, but the type at
its best was not promising enough to
continue building.
The history of,the adoption Of this
boat has not been disclosed. When it
was proposed to build chssers the naval
representatives Of the Allies in this
country were consulted. The English
had had experience with chasers run
ming in size from IS feet up, and I'M
qualifedly condemned the small boats.

War Board to Form Plan
For Allied Purchases

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The question
Of co6rdinating American and Allied
purchases will be one of the first to
be taken up by the War Industries
Board. At to-morrow's meeting a gem
eral plan probably will be outlined.
Allied purchases soon will be made
by Bernard Baruch, who is to be desig-
mated by the Allied governments as
their buying commissioner. At the
same time he will be chairman of a
purchasing commission for the Ameri-
can government, 20 be formed of mem
bers OF the war board, with Herbert
Hoover as a member in charge of food
purchases.
Officials believe that ultimately a
system may be evolved under which
one man will do all the American and
Allied buying, members of the war
board serving as advisers. Legislation
would be required, however. before the
government departments could delegate
purchases to any persons outside OF
their organizations.

Russian Factions to Unite

Nine. Breskovskaya. GRANDMOTHER of
the Russian Revolution" and thirty
nine other radical leaders, have issued
an appeal to all factions, according to
Petrograd dispatch yesterday to the

to sobmerge their disagreements and
strengthen the country against coun-

The appeal points out that internal
DISCRIMINATION has given Germany
courage to assume the offensive. ITO
lose the war to Germany" it continues,
would be as bad as having the Car

The dispatch also says that pogrom

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Governor

an appointment with President Wilson

current here for several weeks that the
Massachusetts, Governor is being con-
sidered by the President for a place

Governor Mccall, declined to discuss
the subject tonight other than to say
he had not received any intimation of
the Presidents intention to appoint
him, and, under the circumstances, he
thought it would not be in good taste
to talk about such a possibility. He
admitted that he did not entertain any
ambitions for place on the commits

not he would accept If offered the post.

Appoints Several Socialists
and Cadets" to New
Ministry
Tchernof Reinstated
Charges Withdrawn Against
the Minister of Agri-
culture

PETROGRAD, Aug 6.-Kerensky has
made another attempt to save Russia.
Confronted by the advancing enemy
from without and by the growing coun-
ter-revolutionary movement from with
in, the young leader of free Russia APP
pears TO have succeeded IN organizing
"a Cabinet satisfactory to all parties,
for the time being at least.
The Constitutional Democrats, who
left the government several weeks ago,
evidently have come TO an understand
ing with Kerensky and the Council of
Workmen, Soldiers and Peasants. The
charges of treason which they pre-
ferred last week against Victor Tcher-
noff, Minister Of Agriculture and lead
err Of the Social Revolutionists, have
been Withdrawn. Several Constitu-
tional Democrats are joining the new
ministry, notably Astroff and Golovin,
two powerful and popular PERSONAL
ties.
The number Of Socialists in the re-
organized Cabinet has, however, not
been decreased, but increased. But the
name of Tseretelli, one Of the leading
spirits in Russian Socialism, does not
appear on the list Of the new govern
ment members. His portfolio of Posts
and Telegraphs has been intrusted to
NJ. Nkitin, also a Socialist, who is a
lawyer.
The following sixteen names are
those Of the men slated for the new
Cabinet, but several of them are alb
sent from Petrograd. and their, ap-
pointments cannot be announced as
definite:
Premier, Minister of War and Ma

world be abolished.
General Korniloff's conditions were
accepted by Premier Kerensky, TO
whom alone, as Premier and Minister
of War. General Kornilof will be re-
sponsible.
Conflicting views of the BourgeolSe
and Cadet parties necessltated lengthy
discussions, but they finally reached an
agreement, in accordance with the dec
laration OF former Foreign Minister
Miliukof, of the Constitutional Demo-
crat party, that the only hope for the
salvation of the democracy lay in Pre-
mier Kerensky, upon whom all parties
and special bodies united as being nee
essary to lift Russia out Of her din
culties. The agreement was declared
not TO be a compromise, but recognized
by all as the only means of averting
disasters, internal as well as external.
Premier Kerensky remained true to
his previous declarations and policies
throughout the entire crisis, declaring
his intention, if upheld at the confer
ence, to carry out his policies, both
domestic and foreign, which he had
frequently described, and Of reorganiz-
ing the government irrespective OF
party, class or interest.
The Premier is now at work on that
task, and il is expected that the For
eign Minister, as we'll as some other
members Of the present ministry, Will
retain their posts. They all will be
Independent, however, of party affilia-
tons and dictation, neither the Duma,
which has increased in authority since
the crisis developed, nor the Council
Of Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates
being permitted TO intervene in any
government matter, or TO exercise any
public power which they previously had
claimed.
II was stated at the embassy that
the crisis had served a most useful
purpose, in that it had developed a
capitalization Of the support of all
parties for Premier Kerensky, who is
now universally regarded throughout
Russia as the one man capable of pre-
serving for the revolution its fruits
and Of reestablishing the complete au-
thority Of the government.
One Of the interesting developments
was said 20 be the fresh authority ex-
ercised by the Duma during the crisis.
Although not any longer legal body,
the Delegates still sit, and they form
a body of representatives Of Russia's
ablest middle classes, as we'll as sew
eral strong men from the nobility and
from the comnonalty.
There was q feeling at the embassy,
where newspaper men had not been re-
ceived for three days, possibly owing
TO the crisis in Petrograd, OF entire
confidence that at last the disturb
anees in Russia, both political and mill
tary, had reached their limit, and that
henceforth the improvement would be
solid and constant.
There is great interest here in the
return OF the Elihu Root mission TO
Russia and its report, which will not
be made public until 1t has been laid
before President Wilson. a

Russian Socialists
Ordered Arrested

PETROGRAD, Aug. 6.-The Ministry
of Justice has ordered the arrest Of
Leon Trotzky and NJ. Dunacharsky for
the part they played in the uprising
here last month. The men are Inter

Army Now Recruited
Near to War Strength

The army has been recruited almost
to war strength, according to Colonel
K. ID. walsh, in charge of recruiting,
and many of the men accepted yester-
day were assigned to National Guard
regiments, all of which are now in the
Federal service. Owing to filing
ranks, the Marine Corps recruiting de-
tails in this city have been cut in half
and the navy, which filled its weekly
quota of rs men on Sunday, is picking
and choosing with the utmost care.
Cooks, clerks, machinists, teamstera,
accountants and other skilled men are
still required, however, and the May
or's Committee on National Defence
will endeavor 10 find them in a mail
ing list of 7,100, obtained by aid of
the recent military census.
Commander c. r. Miller, of the
United States Naval Reserve for this
district. received permission yesterday
10 enlist friendly aliens with first
papers in the commissary and mess
men branches of the reserve.
Major General Organ wrote yester-
day to the Mayors Committee on Ma
tional Defence that it had been impos-
sible as yet TO fix a date for the
farewell parade of the New York
troops. Thursday had been named
tentatively, and thereupon requests to
change the day to Saturday poured in
at such a rate that the matter is still
unsettled. Its final determination rests
upon military requirements.
An appeal for recruits for the
armies Of the United States, Great
Britain and Canada was made last
night at patriotic rally held at the
Manhattan Casino, 155th Street and
Eighth Avenue, under the auspices Of
the British and American recruiting
agents. S. Stanwood Menken presided.
The speakers were Job F. Hedges and
Colonel W. 7. Stewart, of the Canadian
army. Margaret George and David
Bispham sang patriotic songs, and the
bagpipe band Of the New York Scottish
Rifles played several selections.
Thirteen members of the medicrl
staff of Bellevue Hospital have received
commissions in the Medical Corps.
Lieutenant H. B. Denton, who is in
charge of British recruiting here, will
start for Texas soon, TO lay out an
aviation camp for Canadians.
