Manifesto Issued

Government Russia

old regime will also animate our gall
liant soldiers on the battle fields.
"On it's side the government will do
it's utmost to provide the army with
everything necessary to bring the war
to a victorious conclusion. The govern
ment will faithfully observe all ALL
ances uniting US to other powers and
all agreements made in the past. While
taking measures indispensable for the
defense of the country against for
eign enemy the government will con-
slider it its first duty to grant to the
people every facility to express its will
concerning the political administration
and will convoke as soon as possible
a Constituent Assembly on the basis
Of universal suffrage, at the same tlrne
assuring the gallant defenders OF the
country their share in the parliamentary
elections. The assembly will issue fun
damental laws guaranteeing the coun-
try the immutable rights Of equality
and liberty.
Conscious of the burdens of the po-
litical oppression weighing on the
country and hindering the free Great
i've forces of the people during years
of. painful hardships. the provisional
government deems it necessary even
before the constituent assembly, to
announce to the country it's principles,
assuring political liberty and equality
to all citizens and making free use
of their spiritual forces in creative
work for the benefit of the country.
The government will also take care to
elaborate the principles assuring all
citizens participation in communal
elections, which will be carried out on
a basis of universal suffrage.
"At the moment of national eman-
cipation the whole country recalls
with pious gratitude those who in the
struggle for their political and relig-
ious ideals fell victims of the ven-
geance of the old power, and the pro-
visional government will joyfully
bring back from exile and prison all
those who thus suffer for the good of
their country.
I'm realizing these problems the
provisional government believes it is
executing the national will and that
the whole people will support it in its
efforts to insure the happiness Of Rus

closed tonight. No official pretended 10

was that he was still considering the
question in his usual deliberate way.
4 cabinet meeting probably will be
held tomorrow afternoon and at that
time tho situation arising out OF the
new acts of aggression on the part of
Germany is expected to be thoroughly
canvassed.
Preparation for aggressive action to
protect American rights began TO-DAY
when the President visited the navy
department personally and directed
Secretary Daniels to utilize the Sll5,-

hasten naval building plans. The New
York navy yard was directed to begin
the construction of present submarine
chasers and announcement was made
that bids for 200 more will be opened
Wednesday.
Through the early graduation of two
classes at Annapolis, and the mobiliza-
ton Of reserves, it is proposed to make
it possible to man quickly all ships of
the navy. The question also was taken
up of getting into communication in
formally with Great Britain and France
to discuss cooperation in the protec-
ton of commerce lanes across the At
lantic This step probably will not be
taken until the course of the United
States has been finally determined
In addition to his conference with
Secretary Daniels the President saw
Secretaries Lansing and McAdoo and
William Denman, chairman of the fed

indication that he was mapping out COM

suggestion advanced tonight was
that the President might issue call for
Congress to meet within 10 days and
in his proclamation point the new stu
alton facing the nation since he asked
for authority to establish state or
armed neutrality. No one progressed,
however, to be in the Presidents con-

London, March 19.-The following
manifesto has been issued by the Rus
sian provisional government to the ma
ton, according to Reuters Petrograd
correspondent:
Citizens: The great work has been
accomplished. BY a powerful stroke the
Russian people have overthrow the
old regime. A new Russia is born.
This coup 'etat had set the keystone
upon long years of struggle.
Under pressure of awakened nation
al forces, the act of October 80. 1905,
promised Russia constitutional liberties
which were never put into execution.
The first Duma, the mouthpiece of ma
tional wishes was dissolved. The Sec
ond Duma met the same fate. and the
government, being powerless to crush
the national will, decided by act of
June 16, 1906, to deprive the people of
part of the legislative rights promised
them.
During the ensuing ten years the
government successfully withdrew from
the people all the rights they had won.
The country was again thrown into the
abyss of absolute ruin and administra-
tive arbitrariness. All attempts to make
the voice of reason heard were in vain
and the great world-struggle into which
the country was plunged. found it face
to face with moral decadence and power
not united with the people, power in
different to the countrys destinies and
stepped in vice and infamy.
THE heroic efforts of the army,
crushed under the cruel weight of inter-
nal disorganization, the appeals of the
national representatives who were
united in view of the national danger
were powerless to lead the emperor and
his government into the path of union
with the people. Thus when Russia by
the Illegal and disastrous acts of her
governors, was faced with the greatest
of DISASTERS the people had to take the
power into their hands.
With unanimous revolutionary spir-
it the people fully realizing the serious
ness of the moment and the firm will
of the Duma established a provisional
government which considers that it is
its sacred duty to realize the national
desires and lead the country into the
bright path Of free civil organization.
The government believes that the lofty
spirit of patriotism which the 7eople
have shown in the struggle against the

ST. PATR|CK'S DAY
FITTINGLY HONORED
ON MONDAY EVENING
Children Of St. Mary's School
Present Very Pleasing OPP
eretta of Golden Hair and
the Three Bears" Before
Good-sized Audience

The Opera house was well filled on
Monday evening when the st. Pat
rick's concert which was given by the
children of Saint Mary's school, was
presented, and the audience was kept
interested by most unusually pretty
operetta, written around the fairy
story Golden Hair and the Three
Bears" The little story portrays the
adventures of little Golden Hair,
daughter of Woodland Queen, who
strays off into the forest and comes
to the home Of three bears, Big Bruin,
Nanny Muff and Tiny Cub. Miss Eli
leen Stone who took the part of Gold
en- Hair, won the approval and APP
plause of the audience with her sing
ing and clever Interpretation of the
part, while Miss Hazel Beane, as the
Woodland Queen, sang her solo parts
remarkably wei.
The chorus parts, in which over $50
school children joined, were very eff
fective and showed a lot of careful
training on the part of the Sisters,
and the orchestra, composed of the
Misses Cecilia Hanley, Dorothy Regain,
Mary White, Margaret and Edith
White. Raymond Monaghan and Will
liam kearns, rendered a large number
of finely played selections.
The funniest part of the play was
the scene in which the three bears
appeared at home. Master John Abb
son taking the part OF Big Bruin,
Master Joseph Shirley appearing as
Nanny Muff, and Tiny Cub being
represented by Master Warren Fletch-
err The boys were dressed in very
cute bear costumes, and danced and
sang in manner which kept the au-
dience in a state of applause and
laughter. Everyone was agreed that
Tiny Cub was some Bear, he went
through his antics like professional
bear cub, growing and looking fero-
cious enough to eat a small girl all
up. but Golden Hair didn't mind
much, she knew she vas going to es-
cape.
She did so, too, being helped by the
kindly Bard (Walter Burke), and on
her safe arrival at the home of her
subjects, the Bard was crowned For
est King for his services in resculng
Golden Hair The scenery was very
appropriate, woodland scenes being
supplied. and the little girls dressed
in white and carrying flowers were
very attractive, while the little boys,
who also carried flowers, didn't seem
to mind being on the stage any more
than lots of older folks.
The closing chorus, America, was
we'll rendered, everyone in the audi
ence rising to their feet as the Stars
and Stripes and the flag of Ireland
were brought on to the stage, ana
they remained standing till the close
of the final verse. 1t was very NICE
ly staged little playlet, and was en-
joyed by all who were in attendance.
