Miliukoff has been under heavy
fire from the soldiers and work

nounced that he provisional gov
ernment had approved all existing
treaties and compacts entered in
to by the former autocratic regime
in Russia.
NJ. Tertschenske, formerly min
lister of finance, was named In
Miliukoff's place. A. F. Kerensky,
new minister of justice, was ap-
pointed minister of war to succeed
Gutchloff, who resigned earlier in
the week.
The provisional government
decided today to reject the
terms under which the sol
diers' and wOrkmen's council
prOffered coalition In new
government.
The councils insistence on GER
tain matters of foreign policy WAS
the demand which the duma lead
ers refused to approve.
The decision leaves the Russian
situation once again wide open.

duma governments offer of a
coalition to restore governmental
order.
