which had been donated by Wright, Lin
dale and Van Rhoden, Bradford Clark
and J. E. Caldwell, of Philadelphia.
Mr.. D. w. Corbit told in few words

United Press STAFF Correspondent.
PETROGRAD, May 10. - Russia's
new coalition government will insist
on revision OF all existing treaties
pledging the nation with its allies and
will demand full publicity and revi-
son of all peace terms and war aims
With the completion and installa-
ton of the new ministry today this
platform became known.
The government does not insist on
publication of present internally
agreements those treaties which were
entered into by the old regime in
Russia.
The revision Of peace terms" specified
above, probably means the new Russian
government desires the Allies TO express
adherence to Oh war aim of ono forcible
annexations and no contributions" The
phrase has been distorted by German
propaganda and incorrect translation
into "no annexations and no indemni-
ties" such a war aim exactly comedies
with that of Germany.
