WILL DISCIPLINE ARMY

Petrograd, May 19.-(Via London) Minister of War Kerensky, addressing the Congress of Peasants. announced his determination to introduce an iron discipline into the army. He made an impassioned appeal for support in re- storing the morale of Russia's military forces and his speech was greeted with enthusiastic applause.
 A great demonstration occurred aft CT he finished his address. The dele gates embraced the minister and car ried him on their shoulders to his automobile.
 M. Kerensky said in part:
 We must, before anything, con- soldate the civic liberty. the revolu- tion gave us and we shall not do this if each does not do his duty to his country with complete self-sacrifice Let us show the work we know not only how to destroy but also how to create.
 Soldiers. sailors and officers, I call on you to make a last heroic effort. I am your servant Help me to show the world that the Russian arm is not demolished temple, but is strong and formidable, capable of making it. self respected and of defending the free republic of democratic Russia.
 SURE OF SUCCESS
 Tt may appear strange that I, civilian. who was never soldier have undertaken the heavy task of restor- ing discipline in the army, but I ac- cept it because Understand that this discipline is based on your duty and reciprocal respect. I have never known what this discipline is, but neverthe- less propose to introduce an iron dis cipline into the army, and I am sure I shall succeed.
 This is necessary not only at the front but also in the interior of the country in order to bring the liberty which has been conquered into the constituent assembly. This great na- tional council, invested with sovereign authority. will show that it does not wish to repeat the sad events of the revolution in 1905. when the peasants conquered the land, but were not able to keep it in their hands,
 T am shortly going to the front. Allow me. therefore. to say in the trenches that the Russian peasants wish to have the land which belongs to them and that no force shall take it from them. But allow me also to say that the peasants demand in or der to achieve this object that every one shall do his duty in a spirit of self sacrifice"

MEMORY OF Gf V HEROES OF SQsIH HONORED BY BR| lSf4
Balfour and Party is Richmond, Capital of Con federacy, and Receiv
 Tremendous Welco me

Richmond, May 19-Richmond, the capi- tai of the Confederacy and rich in tta-
 ditions of the old English cavalier days,
 today gave British Foreign Secretary
 Arthur James Balfour and the British
 mission in the name of the whole south'
 a reception which for warmth and spon-
 taneity has not been surpassed during
 the long stay of the British here.
 The eminent visitors, who had come
 both to pay call of courtsy on the south,
 and to honor the Confederacy's famous leaders, Robert E. Lee, "Stonewalf' Jack son. and Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, uncle of
 the present governor; were showered with
 every honor that the hospitab1e city could give.
 SALUTE OF GUNS The mission was received by salute of 19 guns, escorted by the Virginia Military institute cadets in full dress uniform through crowds riotous with flags and applause, lunched as guests of Governor
 Stuart at the historic executive mansion,
 and was cheered to the echo at packed
 mass meeting at the auditorium. A big
 southern audience, looking back to the
 days of the revolution and the civil war,
 in both of which Virginia played such
 large part, sang God Save the King" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" with 8
 fervor that showed that all past bitter
 ness was gone.
 The first address which MT. Balfour ever made from the rear-end of a train
 took place during a brief stop of the
 special train provided by the state depart
 ment at Fredericksburg. MT. Balfour told
 small group of hearers that he feared
 he had failed utterly to express the
 deep emotions he had felt at his recep-
 ton in Richmond and that he hoped some of the gratitude which he felt
 might be conveyed back to his friends there.
 MEMORY OF HEROES IGNORED The British army took the occasions during the brief visit to Richmond, to express through Lieutenant-General Bridges, who more than any one else per- suaded the Belgians, not to evacuate all their territory, their tribute to the mih- tary heroes of the south by placing wreaths on the statues of Robert H. Lees Stonewall Jackson and General Stuarts General Bridges spoke of the lessons of character, leadership and endurance taught by these men and of his hopa that those engaged in the present strug~ gle, both here and abroad, would he worthy of their memories.

He has expressed his will lingness to do so on condition that he is to receive no payment for his services and that the whole of the force under him, exclusive of clerical assistance, shall be employed so far as possible upon the same volunteer basis.
