INTERNAL CRUX IN
GERMANY LEADING
TO A REVOLUTION

Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg fatty refused request of So
cialsts for Interpretation of Ger
nlany's war aims.
Radical Socialist Leader Lede-
bour warned that Germany might
expect a repetition of the Russian
revolution and announced his party
of government Socialists were
preparing to introduce resolutions
to the constitution committee look
ing to a republic in Germany.
The Socialist leader, Philip
Scheidemann, head of the peace adj
vocates, warned if the allies aban-
doned the idea of anneXations and
Germany did not, Germany would
face a revolution.
The constitution committee, to
which Ledebour referred is a COM
mittee of twenty-eight, hand-picked
by the German government to de-
wise governmental reforms. Scheid-
emann is its chairman, but he is a
government supporter. The COM
mittee's recommendations so far
have not indicated any great pro-
gressivism or desire for a change
of government. Its Recommended
tions would have to be approved by
the reichstag, where the kaiser has
a goodly majority. and by the
kaiser himself, so that any sug-
gestions it has TO make for a re-
public would not be likely to sur
vive.

While rumored for some weeks as

pen across the paper, a dozen movie

Russia's Pledge With Allies Is

FOREIGN MINISTER RESIGNS
Expulsion Demanded by Work

Duma Backs Up Rejection by
Provisional Govt.
BY VIM. G. SHEPHERD.

Petrograd, May 16.-The provisional
government decided today to reject
the terms under which the soldiers
and workmen's council proffered Goa
lition in the new government.
The councils insistence on certain
matters of foreign policy was the de-
mand which the duma leaders refused
to approve. The provisional heads
held the government could not make
the remuneration of principles an
nounced formally on April 8, which
was practically made necessary by full
acceptance of the councils terms.
Soldiers Vote for Coalition.
The decision leaves the Russian sit
uation once again wide open. 1t came
after many elements in Petrograd had
hailed with relief the action of the
council in voting II to 10 for accept
ance of the duma governments offer
of coalition force to restore govern
mental orders.
The terms of the councils accept
ance were not made public, except it
was limited that they had demanded
Paul N. Miliukoff, minister of foreign
affairs, must not appear in the re-
organized cabinet.
From the governments rejection of
the proposal today, it appears the
council went much further than mere
demand for Miliukoff's head and pos
sibly insisted upon formal renuncia-
ton by the new coalition government
of certain agreements with the allies.
The duma governments rejection
declared it was impossible to expect
Russia to renounce the principles
enunciated on April 9. The govern
ment further insisted, the council was
told, that it was necessary to confirm
the unity of all forces on all allied
fronts and to wage an energetic strug-
gle against internal anarchy.
Indemnity Another Dispute.
The duma ministry's refusal was
concurred in by the duma committee,
it was later announced.
The principles enunciated on April
were in the form of a proclama-

SEND US TROOPS
General Petain of France APP
peals for Men .'Immediately."
Urges e. s. to Send Volunteers
To Be Trained i'm France.

New York, May &C Petain,
new commander of the French armies,
appeals for American volunteers to be
sent abroad Immediately in an in
terview with Whitney Warren, noted
architect, published by the New York
Times today.
Asking for volunteers at once, Pc
tain says:
These volunteers would be at first
organized with French units, but still
respecting the autonomy of America.
1t is understood that it is moral ne
cessity that they fight under their
own flag but it is also a necessity for
period of transition or instruction
when quicker and better results could
be obtained by the above method"
Petain points out that these volun-
teer u bits could later be used as ske,e-
ton organizations for the bigger Amer
lean armies
1.-The foundation of American volun-
teer units" he said, will comprise
two periods. First, constitution and
equipment in America second inten-
sive instruction in France.
Need Many Officers.
THE CONSUMPTION and formation of
officers is all-important and is espec-
tally what was lacking in the case of
the English. Officers should be very
numerous enough for at least 100
divisions. They should be taken from
your regular army or militia, from
among regular soldiers and young
men who have a certain amount of ed
ucation. Send at once as many col
onels. majors and captains as posi-
BILE, to be stationed with French Off
GERS at the 'front.'
Petain expressed confidence in
Americas ability for the "hercuIean
effort of raising and equipping a big
army by selective service and said this
huge army must be trained both at
home and behind the lines.
