BULLETIN. PETRoGRAD, May

BULLETIN, PETROGRAD, May 15.-This afternoon the Workmen and Soldiers Deputies issued an ap- peal to the Russian army to de- fend Russia with all their power and declares that a separate peace is now impossible. The appeal to the soldiers at the fronts declares that German imperialism is seek ing to destroy Russia and enslave her people
 The council of Workmen's and Soldiers delegates, comprising main ly the Socialist extreme and radical elements, apparently is becoming in- creasingly willing to consider par tioipation in the formation -ef \ coalition goy6ifimcnt u has aps pointed commission to negotiate with the Provisional Government and is formulating a program, condition which will permit the So- cialist entry upon representation in the ministry. This follows the councils urging upon the army at the front the necessity of ceas- ing to fraternalize with the Germans and an appeal to it to resume the off, fensive against them and thus best serve the cause for general peace of the world.
 Late this afternoon the provis- ional government officials stated that although facing innumerable difficulties they announced in pro- clamation their determination to the task and establish a firm admin istration and fight the war to con- clusion guaranteeing peace to all nations.
