Russia, but the fire of his flaming soul
will kindle the nation. and Russia will yet
light the world along the path to victory
for freedom"
Sack said there IL great Significance in
support OF Kerensky by Vice President
Nekrasoff. OF the Ministry indicating the
radical and sincerely democratic wing Of
the Cadet party, as opposed to Milukoff
and the opposite wing, approves the pres
ent cabinet.
With such leader Kerensky," Sack
concluded, the army's retreat will be
halted In the course OF a week or two as

slider II our duty to give to our allies who

The greatness OF the task of the Rus
sian revolution corresponds to the magn.-
tdde which II caused in the life Of the State,
Reorganization in the face of the enemy
Of the entire governmental system could
not be effected without serious disorders.
Fully conscious of the difficulties of the
task, Russia has taken up the burden Of
conducting active military operations dur
ing reconstruction Of the army and the Cow
ernment The offensive of our armies
which necessitated by a strateglcal
situation encountered insurmountable OBJ
stacles on both fronts and IN the interior
Of the country.
THE criminal propaganda of irresponsi.
bic elements was used by enemy agents and
provoked revolution In Petrograd At the
same time part OF the troops the front
were seduced by the same propaganda tor-
got their duty to the country and facilitated
the enemy piercing our front,
The Russian people have been stirred
by these events. Through the Government
the revolt was crushed and it's originators
brought to justice. Steps have been taken
70 restore the combative strength OF the
armies
The Government intends brine rs to a
successful end the task Of estab. sling an
standardization capable of meeting all dam
eers. Russia will not suffer herself to be
deferred In carrying out the irrevocable
