Washington, D. c.. May 7-Con-
ferees on the selective draft bill again
today sought to iron out differences be-

Petrograd, (via London). May Z
The provisional government. through
premier Lvoff. has declined to modify
the note sent to the allies.
The government declares that the
ministers are prepared to resign their
posts if necessary.
Although the sentiment of the work
mems and soldiers council apparently
is against extreme measures. unless
they are absolutely necessary, every
speaker emphasized h contention that
the power IN Russia rests in the hands
of he representatives of the worlSmen
and soldiers, and that they are deter
mined to enforce their views upon the
temporary government or Immediately
~dlspossess it and construct Il govern
ment of their own liking.
Ready to Quit Office.
Premier Lvoff said:
1T is impossible to send another
note. The temporary government will
comply with it's duty and leave it's post
rather than take such a step. which
would menace the country with very
serious consequences. The government
understands fully the responsibility it
has assumed in behalf of the country
n in view of the responsibility is
ready to resign il it becomes neces-
sarS."
Foreign Secretary Mililsoff, confirm
ing the stand taken. by Premier Lvoff,
aid
Pleasing to Enemies.
"The note expresses the view of the
temporary government. 1t has no other
ain The recent note repeats and de-
velOps the idea expressed in the first
note. which was worked out in con-
junction with the council of deputies.
If we compar the notes it is clear that
they constitute a step forward. The
events of yesterday will make the allies
very sad, while pleasing our enemies.
In regard to the suggestion of a new
note M. Miluhoff said that such a step
was quite impossible. Such conduct
he continued, toward a foreign gov
ernment cannot be permitted. If we
should attempt to follow a route which
in my conviction is impracticable We
Would only he repulsed."
Allies ENJOYS Call.
The minister made an allusion to a
secret telegram which has been re-
ceived from the allies. 1t is significant
that the ambassadors of England,
France and italy ave called upon the
foreign secretary. NJ. Milikoff conclud-
ed his statement by saying:
Prospecting our military needs and
means of continuing the war we are
dependent to a great extent upon the
allies, especially upon America. 1t will
be an everlasting blot on our history
if there should be a possibility of con-
GLIDING a separate peace. But the coun-
Gil itself has declared against a sepa-
rate peace"
Soldiers Not For War.
NJ. Tcheidse. president of the council,
reueated previous declarations that the
imperialistic attitude of the govern
ment was unacceptable. He said:
Neither the Ioldiers nor the work.
men are for war. If the government
does not mean to heed u ~watchword
of peace without contributions it will
have to make itself clear"
M. I'cheidse called attention to the
fact that there was no interior discord
and that tie only trouble was in respect
to Russia's foreign policy.
