faults found by the cadets, they pro- pose the postponement of the publi- cation of the Ukrains' decision until after further conference.
 Nm. Tereschtenko and Tseretelli, on the other hand, f1at1y insisted on the immediately publication of the declaration adding that the form might be altered if the sense were kepe intact. When the vote was taken the two Lvoffs in the cabinet and the socialists declared themselves in favor of the declaration as already drawn without correction or ltera- tion. Opposed by the majority, the cadet members therf resigned. F NM. Propopovitch and Charnousky ha}ve been appointed ministers of commerce and education, respective ly.
 After taking cognizance of the views of M. sTereschtenko and M. Tseretell and of a communication from War Minister Kerensky on the sub ject, the 1rovisioaa1 government decided today on the creation of an executive body to put intoN execution measures dealing with he adminis- tration of Ukraine. The personnel will be decided on by the government in agreement with the Ukrainians on the basis of equitable representation of other nationalities inhaibiting Uk- raine.
 The provisional government will adopt a sympathetic attitude in re- gard to the elaboration of necessary measures, as well as a bill dealing with the solution of the agrarian question . In order to maintain the cumulative unity of the army the gov ernment will not countenance meas ures which might injure the military organization and command, although it does not object to the creation of army units composed exclusively of Ukrainfans subject to the approval of the war ministry.

fewer than 112 of the 1855 have been thrown into the battles at various times and 23 of them have been twice engaged.
 As a general rule a division is not withdrawn from the fighting line until it has lost one-third of it's effectives. A German division nowadays when at full strength numbers approximately 7,50O tnfanuymen- There the 1855 divisions which have passed through the fire have in all probability each lost 2,500 killed, wounded and prison- CTS, making in all 347, ,500 casualtiesAin the infantry alone in less than three months.
 Forty-three of the German divisions on this front have not taken part in the fighting. Some of the German di- visions have had to be withdrawn after only two days fighting on account of their losses. others after from four to six days, and still others only after l 5 days Or even a month.
 A German division which has suffer- ed heavy losses is generally given a rest varying from five to 12 yards in which to recuperate and have It's ranks ref1lled. Sometimes, however, 1t has been found necessary to rush such a division back to active work almost immediately.
 One peculiar feature noticed on this front is that the German divisions brought back from Russia have never been sent into the first line without undergoing a special course of training first.

Premier Lvoff has requested the ministers to meet at. his private resi- dence when the cause of the dispute will be considered. It is known that he will try to prevail on them to withdraw their resignations. The split occurred last night at a minis terial conference to consider a report submitted by M Tereschtenko, min ister of foreign affairs, and M Tsere- telli, minister of posts and telegraphs, as a result of their negotiations con- corning the Ukranians.
 After the report was read the cadet ministers promptly took exception to the form of a declaration drawn up by M Tereschtenko and TseretaM and agreed to the fact that these ministers without the authorization of the government took it on themselves to commit the government to a defin- ite policy regarding the Ukraine.
 Teheslenko and Tseretelli.s the ca defs maintained. simply had been chosen delegates to find a possible basis of an agreement in the Ukraine, but had not been given the power of making declaration in the name of the government.
 In addition to this cause of com p1aint the cadet ministers criticised the text of the Ukraine declaration, first because it abolishes all power of the temporary government in the Ukraine; second, because it did not specify of what territory the Ukraine consists or make it clear how it shall be governed.
 The opposition members of the cab inet assert that only, the legislative body has right to determine the future form of the government of the Ukraine, whereas, according to the declaration of NM. Tereschtenko and TseretelH the Ukranians appear to be proceeding informally to draw up their own government. In view of these objections and further minor

Copenhagen, July 17IThe selec- ton of a successor to Foreign secre- tary immerman was still unsettled yesterday. Pressure was brought from two directions to block first, the proposed nomination of Count Brock dorff- -Rantzau, the German minister in Copenhagen, and to substitute Ad mira von Hintze, minister to Nor way, or Count von Bernstorff, former ambassador to Washington. The present minister to Christiania is greatly desired by Pan-Germans and advocates of super-vigorous policy not only on account of his high di- plomatic qualifications but chiey on account of his antecedents.

Petrograd,< July 17-Demonstra- tions against the government resulted in the firing of shots in the Nevsku Prospect at midnight Sunday, as a re- suit of which several persons were killed or wounded.
 The firing apparently was the re- suit of stray shots which brought on a panic, in which the demonstrators turned ries and machine guns on one another. Quiet was restored after a few minutes.
 The demonstrations were organized by the Bolsheviki, the majority fac- tion of the social democratic party.
