KERENSKY.

Alexander Kerensky, thesreal lead pr of the Russian revolution, first be- came minister of justice in the pro- visional government and then succeed ed Gutchffok as minister ot war achieving wonders in reviving the army as a fighting force during May and June. He was born about thirty five years ago in Tashknet, Russian town in Middle Asia. Although of small means, he succeeded in obtain ing a university education and becom- ing a lawyer. From the beginning of his practice he was an energetic defender of workmen and peasants appearing in their interest when they were arrested and oppressed by agents of the Czar's government He included the Jews among his clients, and fought for the rights which the anti-Semitic powers denied them. The climax of his legal career came in 1912, when he represented the work men in an investigation following the shooting by the police of some sixty strikers in the gold fields along the River Lena. His work in this case made him famous throughout Russia as a friend of the revolutionary forces and an enemy of the @tocratic gov ernment. .-
