(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
Washington, May 16.-lReorganiza'
ton of the Russian cabinet was re-
garded here both as increasing the
power of the radicals and as looking
iorward to a greater degree of unity
1t is generally felt that the coming
into power Of the radical party is
more desirable than a situation where
the power was divided between rad
icals and moderates with both prac-
tically powerless to act.
The resignation of Foreign Min
lister Milukoff is regarded as the
Price demanded by the radicals for
their active cooperation with the gov
eminent. Milukoff incurred much en-
nifty when he pledged Russia, with
out consulting the radicals, not to
make a separate peace. He has also
been unpopular in some quarters for
his vigorous insistence that Russia be
given Constantinople, which was re-
garded in conflict with the no-annex-
aticn pronouncement. The resignas
ton of Minister Milukoff is regarded
as vastly more dangerous than the
political %shiftings Of power, as the
whole discipline and morale of the
army may be affected.

The War Today

THE DECENTRALIZATION of the Rus

drawal of German forces from the
eastern front are having their effect
In France. The heavy reinforce
ments Of men and guns which Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg has been
able to throw into the defense Of his
sorely battered lines, have, for the
time being at least, caused a dead
lock- which the most furious efforts
Of the British and French have fall
ed to break.
THESE FIRST FRUITS Of the chaos
In Russia are the moro onlnous In

sibilltles. The council of soldiers

hand strong enough to check them
from bringing about practical an
