WILL ASSIST RUSSIA.
AMERICAS PLANS NOT TO BE,
CHANGED.
Contracts i'm Force Here for Vast
Quantities of Clothing and Shoes for
Civilians.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Russia,s la
test upheaval will not change the at
ttude of the American government
toward measures under way for the
relief of economic conditions i'm the
demOralized country This statement,
applying particularly to contracts
with money borrowed from the Unit
ed States for vast quantities Of shoes
and clothing for the civilian popula-
ton, was the only authorized COM
ment at the state department today
upon the overthrow of the Kerensky
government at PetrOgrad.
Official advices from the Russian
capital still are lacking, no word
having been received from Ambassa-
dor Francis since Tuesday. Apparent
ly the British and French govern
ments have not heard from their
representatives, so it is assumed that
the revolutionists in control of the
Petrograd telegraphs and cables are
holding up all diplomatic dispatches,
an action certain to draw strong pro-
test.
The situation was discussed at to-
days cabinet meeting, but Secretary
Lansing was unable to add anything
to information appearing in the news
papers. A cable received during the
day from Minister Morris at Stock
in the Swedish newspapers similar to
those published here. showed that
even the Scandinavian countries are
getting no news of what is transpir-
ing in Russia except through the con-
trolled agencies at Petrograd.
Until the situation clears the state
department. and war department will
make no announcement as TO the
probable effect Of the change at Pc
trograd upon the relations of the
United States with Russia and the
conduct of the war against Germany
1t is apparent, however, that there is
still lingering hope i'm the official
mind that the Russian situation may
be localized in PetrOgrad and thai
kerensky may escape to rally around
him the elements necessary to re-
establish his government at Moscow.
Even failing in this, some of tn =
| administration officials are confident
! that before very long out Of the pres
ent chaos in Russia will emerge IA
sound and Stable government. Secre-
tary Baker voiced this opinion. Il am
great believer" he said, lin the abl-
ity of the Russian people to reestab-
lish themselves"
