RUSSIAN CONDITIONS
CAUSING ALARM

washington. Aug. 23~-Russia's con.
dition is causing gravest concern not
only In Washington but in all the
allied capitals. The fate of Kerenzkv
and his iron rule is obviously worry
ing diplomatic circles.
Dispatches have been received from
Russia II is admitted at the state
department. but their purpose has not
been made public.
The reports of German divisions
known to have been on the easterr
front appearing in the west, have In
dicated that tho Germans believe thew
can carry on their Russian operations
with smaller forces. This is taken
TO mean that Russian resistance ia
again coilapsing.
Eifhu Root, chairman of the commits
sion to Russia, returned to Washing
Ton last night. He dined with Secre-
tarF or state Lansing. Neither would
DISCUSS the subjects of the conference
except to say that 1t was confirm.

Sht II is believed the talk was to an

OF Russia standing the imposition of
strict military and political discipline
at this time No report of political
conditions have reached the outside
world In several days and the grayest
concern Ia felt over Kerensky

is there on private business But
eieher no reports have been received
from these sources or they were of
such charactr that the state department
has not felt II proper to make them
public.
The Russian mission here is worried.
Mr. Bakhetieff. head Of the mission was
out OF the city tonight but 1t was
said by one of his STAFF that no word
had been received from PetroCrad in
several days.
The last word from Russia Indicated
that the discipline of the army had
been restored. Am ssador Francis
about ten days ago reported Petrograd
orderly. Other messages indicated that
while Russian crops were fair. the
ropulace was beginning to be disturbed
over the failure OF the transportation
system.
Fuel was reported to be particularly
scarce and the pesAants to be thor /
ouEhly alarmed over the horrible pros I
pect OF winter without fuel This
might mean death for thousands Food
In the large centers also was reported

worried lest the young premier has
