KERENSKY PLOT
FEARED BY RUSS
Thought He Would Betray
Workmen's S Council,
Says ]. J. Brow.

New York, Nov. S-Fear OF the
Maximilists that KerenslCy intended 10
betray the Council OF Soldiers and
workmen's Deputies is declared the
immediate cause OF the Petrograd re-
volt by local Russian leaders. John
]. Brow, chairman Of the central COM
mittee of united Russian organiza-
lions. takes this stand. He is a
Kcrensky supporter.
THE Bolsheyiki believed that Keren-
sky was behind the recent KorniilofI
revolt" he said tonight. The fact
that Gen. Kornilo1 has not been pun
ished lends credence to this belief. II
is known in this country that Keren-
sky was opposed to the system
whereby the small community councils
of the Soldiers and Workmeus' Depu-
ties could countermand any orders
sent from headquarters by the differ
ent army commanders.
Leaders Of the Bolsheviki or MeNi-
maIists believed that by means of the
Korniloff revolt Kerensky intended 10
reduce the powers Of the council.
Hence they revolted."
Brow ridiculed the idea that the re-
volt would spread throughout Russ 4
and said that outside OF Petrograd
the people would come to the support
of the premier.

ITALIAN ARMIES
STILL IN Peril
Press Urgently Calls on
America to Declare War
on Austria.

Dispatches received at the Italian
Embassy last night announce that
the Italians have succeeded in with
drawing their troops, but make no
pretense that the crisis has been
passed.
Our retre3ting maneuver," says
the dispatch, has succeeded. In or
der to facilitate this operation and
render 1t more effective, we have
evacuated the mountainous zone
north and suoth Of Prinzane. Such
evacuation is being carried out
gradually, supported by numerous
buttresses of the depressions which
range almost uninterruptedly from
north to south between the Taglia-
mento and the Piave.
1T is impossible for the moment
to gather from the official bulletins
any tactful element bearing on the
ultimate objective, to which we may
turn our mind only when the pres
ent serious difficulties have been
overcome"
Asks American Declaration.
SOlIiiAiSLliiS OH the marvellous
rapidity with which the allies have
agreed to oppose energetically the
German advance" the dispatches saw
italian newspapers urge that the
United States declare war on Austria
Hungary.
The Giornale dItalia observes that
American participation should elimi-
nate the anomaly arising from the az
sence of a state of war between Amer
lea and Austria, an anomaly that con-
trasts with the real situation, since
the Hapsburg monarchy is an instru-
ment in carrying out the German war
program against the entire enteate."
Warm expressions are heard through
out Italy for the warm support the
United States gives to the cause. the
dispatches say. concluding with, And
1t is generally believed that if Amer
lea decides TO declare war against
Austria Hungary it would have a
tremendous effect, both political and
military. all the more because 1t is
the task of America to strengthen the
west front wherever necessary and,
