spondent of "The New York Times" de-
scribes the happenings of Tuesday:
"The government crisis was. seized on by
conspirators as the long-looked-for occasion
for action. About 7 in the evening several
factories in the dsaffected quarter on the
north side of the rivers truck work. Soldiers
in motor lorres from Leninte and anarchist
regiments secured the town and called on
workers and soldiers to come into the
streets. Some consented some refused, and
a strange movement began. An armed bat
TALON marched about communicating motor
cars. Trans were stopped Lorries and
cars with machine guns whzzed and rum

of idlers gathered in the central streets.

DisturberS. Gentle and
Otherwise

MILITANT suffragists in the East
IN1 have shared the week with militant
wage-workers and farmers in the West in
reminding the nation that it is at war.
Most Of the original fourteen suffragists
who were arrested late in June on the oc-
casion of the Russian ENJOYS visit escaped
The prison stripes. Not so the sixteen who
were arrested on Bastile Day for making
demonstration in front Of the White
House, crediting President Wilson with
being the sole obstacle between them and
the vote. Dudley Field Malone championed
the cause of the arrested women.
Sixty days in Jail was the sentence
given by Judge Mullowney on the charge
of unlawful assembly" and afterward
annulled by the President. Among the
sixteen suffragists arrested were Mrs.
Eunice Dana Brannan, daughter Of the
late Charles A. Dana; Mrs. Florence
Bayard Hilles, daughter of the late
Thomas F. Bayard, former Secretary OF
State and Ambassador to England, and
Mrs. Ellen Rogers, direc. descendant OF
a signer Of the Declaration Of lndepen-
dence. And in the public defence Of their
militancy stands Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont.

President Wilson characterized these raids,
forced rides, expulsons and starvings on
the part of the mining operators as "tak.

last accounts the mining companies have
won and the l. w. w. terrorists have been

By the bourgeoisie for millions Of rubles."
Late Tuesday the riots continued. The
Maximalists were joined by a number Of
sailors and soldiers from Kronstadt. An
attempt was made to seize Kerensky, but
failed by accident. Martial law was de-
clared in Petrograd and the government
had the situation fully in control.
The Third Crisis
In Russia
In The Tribune of Thursday morning
Isaac Don Levine interpreted the crisis in
Russia as follows:
"The New Russia is experiencing its third
crisis. Each preceding crisis has made the
young Slavic Republic stronger than before,
consolidating larger section of national
opinion behind the temporary goys rnment.
"A much more powerful and hrmer Russia
is being forged in the fame OF the present
conAagration. Already as a result Of 1t the
Council of Peasants Deputies, representing
more than a hundred million muzhiks, has
Joined hands with the Council of Workmen
and Soldiers. This union provides the Pro-
visional Government with sufficient back
bone to weather any internal trouble"
"The Evening SUM- printed on Thurs
day afternoon the following Petrograd
dispatch from William G.. Shepherd:
"The shooting in the city was ended late
this evening.
"The government is arresting all musi-
neers. Nickoiai Lenine, the pro-German
agitator. charged with being a German spy,
is fugitive.
"The city is rejoicing tonight over the
ending Of the street disturbances. The trans

of $4,000 German prisoners have been
taken and the fight is being waged over
an 800-mile front.
Ireland furnishes a few prelminares
for her convention, which will meet on
July 25, for which Lloyd George suggests
the English Chief Secretary for Ireland,
Henry E. Duke, as chairman. Of very
large significance, in the opinion of Sim
Feiners, is the election of a Sim Fein
candidate in East Clare, the pocket
borough of the Redmonds." English OBJ
servers also regard with bewilderment the
election Of Sim Feiner in this district,
which was thought to be strong for the
coming convention and for Home Rule
within the empire"
Sim Feiners claim to have no votes
and point to the victory of their candi-
date as evidence that Ireland is desper-
ately welded to republicanism, which is
the Sim Fein tenet. The new member
will adopt the new Sim Fein policy of
winning the seats in the British House of
Commons and of refusing to sit. Larry"
Ginnell, the historic disturber from North
Westmeath, will hereafter refuse to sit.
In Canada the refusal of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier's followers in the House of Com
mons to agree to an extension of the life
of Parliament threatens to precipitate a
general election during wartime. The
passage of the conscription bill is fore
shadowed, however, by the existence of
large majority in the House of Commons.

China puzzles Washington with its rev.

President Feng Kwo Chang to the Presi-
dency having reopened wide field Tor
speculation. Feng is military man. He
refused to aid the monarchists in their
recent tumble, and while it appears that
the republic is safe once more, there is
doubt as to the foreign policies. Ii Yuan
Hung, the "president-in-hiding," is com
pletely eliminated, as, presumably is the
infant Emperor.
Mexico has not been heard from en-

desire Kerensky's downfall for an oppo-
site reason. These seize upon every dis
affection to help batter down the Provi-
sional Government. Lenine and Krotsky,
the extremists, even seek to capture the
person Of Kerensky.
Accompanying these internal troubles
is a sustained Russian offensive, which,
even if feeble, must greatly aid the
Allies, as Germany is reported to be busy
