RUSSIAN EXTREMISTS
 TRYING TO DICTATE
The Composition of the Provisional Government.

Petrograd, Sept. es-The attempt which is being made by extremists to dictate the composition of the provi- sfona1 government was endorsed last night at combined meeting of the social revo1utionaries and the peas ants, soldiers and workmen's deputies, which adopted a resolution that the pending democratic congress elect a committee of it's own which henceforth would constitute the cabinet, super seding the present provisional gov ernment.
 It was decided to submit this plan to the congress for a vote. The Bolsheviki members who were present claimed that all the cabinet mem bers must belong. to their party. The conservative elements declared the cabinet must be a coalition one, while the moderates suggested a compro- mise. Their proposition was that there be a coalition cabinet but that it be responsible only to the con- gross.
 As the size of the congress, compris- ing 1,700 members, precludes it's sitting permanently, it is planned to elect a the all-Russ1an parliament sitting un- til the constituent assembly is chos- en.
 On the eve of the assembling of the congress the atmosphere is one of i'm tense excitement, but the city remains orderly. A threa tened demonstration by the Bolshevilxi today did not ma terfalize. The organizers themselves were compelled to essue a manifesto repudiating any intention of holding

Washington, Sept. 26.-F1urther ev- idence that Count Won Bernstorn. the former German ambassador to Wash ington, knew dE his governments in- tention to inaugurate a campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare prior to his request for money with which to influence congress is in possession of the state department, Secretary Lansing said today that as early as January 19 Count Won Bernstorff knew of the plan.
 Answering inquiries, the secretary made this statement:
 'In view of inquiries which have been made as to whether Count Won Bernstorff knew of the purpose of his government to renew relentless sub marine warfare when he sent his message of January 22. 1917. asking state that the department of state pos before January 19, Count Bernstorf telegram to Minister Won Ecilaardt in Mexico which contained the follow ing:
 "'We intend to begin on the first of February unrestricted submarine war fare. We shall endeavor in spite of this to keep the United States of America neutral.'
 Count Bernstorff was, therefore, fully advised of the intentions of the imperial government at the time when he asked authority of Berlin to em- ploy funds for an organization to in fuence congressional action in favor of the continued neutrality of this country"
