American And Allied Officials Are Confident Present Sit- uation Will Soon Show Inn provement.
.(Bv Review Leased Mirel

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Official confirmation of the withdrawal from the Russian provisional government of Foreign Minister Milukoff, following on the heels of the resignation of War Minister Guchkoff and three of the highest army generals, failed to weaken the belief here that Russian democracy would find a way out. Proof of the confidence of the Ameri- can government as we'll as of its de- termination 0 lend unstinted aid, was given today in the form of s100,000,- 900 loan to Russia.
 Inquiries during the day among both American and allied officials and dip lomats, including three officials who have recently been in Russia, revealed an almost unanimous opinion that the storm now beating will not be fatal, though its climax probably has no: been reached.
 News received in this country is felt to be unduly disquieting, because it all originates from the German-infested center of Petrograd.
 American officials hope that the im- mediate evidence of American aid and sympathy will steady the more radica, elements to practical course.

ROOSEVELT MAY TAKE COMMISSION IN NEW
 YORK STATE MILITIA
(By Review Leased Wire).

ALBANY, N. Y., May 16.-At the conclusion of a two hours confer ence today with Governor Whitman Colonel Theodore Roosevelt an nounced that he would accept the governors offer of a major generals commission in the state service if the federal army bill were passed without the provision to permit him to go to Europe with an expeditionary force
 After Colonel Roosevelt left town, Governor Whitman explained that the state constitution gave him authority to appoint, without confirmation by the senate, a major general of the state militia at any time during a war emergency when the legislature was not in session: The governor was careful to emphasize that if MT. Roosevelt was given a commission as major general it would not be in the national guard but in the state mil itia. which is authorized by both fed eral and state constitutions.
 'I think" said the governor, that the offer of commission as major general is the very least that New York state could make to man who, formerly. as governor, was command CT in chief of the states military or ganization, who las president. 'com- manded the land and naval forces of the country. and who. besides. is a real soldier"

A crowd of several hundred persons some of them carrying tiny American flags, lined the water front and cheered the destroyers from the mo ment they fight sighted the flotilla un. til it reached the dock. The crowd cheered again when. few minutes later, the American senior officer came ashore to greet the British SC nior officer and Wesley Frost, the American consul, who had come down to the dock to welcome the flotilla. Ev. erything was done in a simple, busi- ness-like manner. There was an en. tire absence of formality.
 "We're Ready Now"
 The commander of the British flo tilla was waiting on board his ship and sent wireless greetings to the American units as soon as they hove in sight, steaming in long line into the harbor.
 After, the exchange of shore greet ings and the British commander had congratulated the American officers on their safe voyage, he asked:
 When will you be ready for busi- ness?"
 We can start at once" the Amer ican commander replied promptly.
 This response. so characteristically American, surprised the British com mander. who said he had not expected the Americans would be ready to begin work on this side so soon after their long voyage. Wien be had recov- cred from his surprise. he made a short tour of the desuoyers and ad- mitted that the American tars looked prepared.
 British Impressed.
 "Yes," replied the American com mander. we made preparations on the way over. That is why we are ready"
 The equipment on board the destroy CTS was found to be in excellent con dition and remarkably we'll suited to the requirements on this side of the ocean. It was said by the British of ficer that the only thing lacking in the equipment was heavier clothing. It ing clothing too light for the varying of weather they will encoun- ter in these waters. This lack, how ever. was quickly provided for.
