the sfirSt instruments and arms OF the

Among these political currents of So

Perhaps Kerensky, even in those early
Lays. aspired to be "the single man in
Ill Russia"
In 1889 the father of Kerensky was
transferred from Simbirsk to Tashkent.
With him went Sasha Kerensky, as his
nigh school colleagues used to call him.
This pee~name given him by the stu
sdents speak more than long descrip-
stions of the love and esteem with
which he was regarded by his class
mates. Whether in childish games and
pranks in military activities
against the unpopular or funny teach
lers, as well as in the reading hours of
sthe self-educational circles, every

Abundant Record of His Life.

In any event, the "spotting" of ke-
rensky was thoroughly organized. The
police archives have the most apun- :
dant record of his life.
The espionage Of the government
penetrated even into his home. He had
introduced there a youth called Militia
Alimoff, who came to him well recon-
mended. Kerensky took paternal care
Of him, developing his mind and aiding
him in entering the Petrograd Psyche
Neurological College
And this very Militia was later re-
vealed to be In the employ OF the de-
partment of police.
1t has not yet been ascertained how
this unfortunate youth had been caught
in the police net, but 1t is known that
he sold Alexander Kerensky for twenty

In the fourth duma Kerensky became

shall not stop here to describe the five

head of that faction. Let 1t suffice to
say that there was not a single ques-
tion concerning the rights of the peo-
pie to land and freedom which Keren-
sky had not touched upon on the plat
form of the duma. The passionate
convincing speeches of the tribune of
the people, reaching them in the form
of fragments in the newspapers or
large blank spaces, forced even the
open enemies of the masses to stop and
ponder. The sincerity and depth of
Kerensky's convictions were recognized
even by his political opponents.
The center of gravity of Kerensky's
la Dor in the Group of Toll" lay in his
efforts to unite all the populsts. solidi-
flying and arousing them to more in
tensive political activities. In July.

ENGLAND NOT SUITED
FOR BEING REPUBLIC
Famous General Declares Ma
ton Always Must Belong
to Monarchies.

LONDON, June 16. - Gen. Jan
Christian Smuts, who fought the Brit
ishi in the Boer war and conquered
German East Africa for Great Britain
In this war, does not believe In making
a republic out Of the British Empire.
He told three hundred members OF
parliament this at dinner in his
honor the other night in the house of
lords.
you cannot" he said, make a re-
public OF the British commonwealth
of nations, because You would have
to elect "a president, not only here in
these islands. but all over the British
Empire, in India and In the dominions.
a president who would be representa-
tive of all these peoples, and here /
say you would be facing an absolutely
insoluble problem"
gives Uhrecordcd History.
At this gathering General Smuts
broke bread beside Lord French. who
led the British forces against him In
the Boer war. During his speech he
gave n little hitherto unrecorded his
tory of his struggle with the forces Of
the British general.
"On one OCCASION" said the general.
81 was surrounded by Lord French's
forces and was practically faced with
disaster. There was nothing left to
me but the most diligent scouting to
find a way out. ! did some scouting
myself with small party in n place
called 'Murderer's Gap and was the
| only man to come out alive. Two days
afterward | broke thru and came to IA
railway. A train approached, and 1t
was suggested that 1t should be
stopped. but / gave the command to
let 1t pass. The train passed. Later
l learned that the only freight 1t car
ried was Lord French"
Reverting to the question of govern
ment of the British empire. General
Smuts said he preferred to call the
tho British isles and their possessions
a British commonwealth of nations,
rather than an empire The speaker
said that he believed the future Brit
ish government was an entirely new
problem.
American System Not Suitable.
81 do not think" he said, that the
system of the United States of America
would work. because we do not want
to standardize the nations of the en-
| pire. There is only one solution. and
that is supplied by our past traditions.
i
ment and OF the fullest development
There re two important factors
that we must rely upon for the future.
The first Is our hereditary kingship I
! have seen some speculation recently
in the newspapers about the position
Of kingship in this country. specula-
tions by people who, am sure have
not thot Of the wider issues at stake.
"The theory OF the constitution is
that the king Is not your king. but the
king of all OF US. ruling over every
part of tho empire. and II his place
should be taken by anybody else then
that somebody else will have to be
elected under q process which will
